I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1668: 22.54 Third Red Star - Rearrangement

Everyone believes the words of Lang that something is about to happen in the territory they are in right now. It was not a surprise that someone or something was targeting them right now. After all, compared to the other places in the federation, this land they were in is the safest place on the land. There are gods like them guarding it, and no one dares to attack it as the former strongest man and the mermaid king guard it. However, the warning from Langʼs instinct cannot be ignored as well.

Greene asked, ”What should we do then?”

”Keep your eyes on Sirius von Shaka,” said Hei Anjing.

Everyone was stunned that someone like Sirius was personally mentioned by the God of Destruction. After all, for someone like this who is uninterested in almost everything except for him and his toys, that keeps him from boredom.

The God of Void asked, ”Baby, is there something about this mortal?”

”He had been going out of the territory lately, and this is with him being able to avoid my barrier. What he didnʼt expect is that the whole territory was made into a temporary domain by me, and the barrier was created only to put the mortals at ease and for show. But what is weird is that his soul isnʼt smelling like the scent of death. Is there a way to cover it up?” asked the God of Destruction.

The Chief Warden answered, ”Yes. There is. You need to bathe in the blood of pure things. For example, children.”

Silence descended in the whole area, and they all sneaked a peek at the God of Destruction, whose aura had suddenly turned a bit eerie. After all, regardless of the cruelty and mercilessness, this god is. He is quite soft towards children who are both innocent and pure.

Hei Anjing said, ”Investigate the number of children in the territory. Do it discreetly and tally their number. After that, compare it to the original number of people listed before I erected the barrier. Also, secretly investigate any kind of location that is possibly used as a place to drain their blood.”

”As you wish, Lord Hei!” Except for the God of Void, the rest responded.

Hei Anjing said, ”Also, prepare for the sea to fall on this land. He will be making his move soon.”

”Is he our enemy?” The God of Void asked.

Hei Anjing answered, ”If he doesnʼt return with us, then he will be.”

”Okay. How about resting for now? Keeping the barrier might not be too much of a burden, but the domain is on the mortalʼs body. Letʼs sleep. Let them take over the barrier of now,” said Ye Xiajie.

System Yue said, [Lord Hei, My Lord, please leave the barrier to me and AʼYang! ]

[Please rest well, master.] System Yang said.

Hei Anjing said, ”Keep a few items that repel soul invasion just in case. Be careful of Ancient Godʼs soul.”

”Yes, sir!” They collectively answered before Ye Xiajie carried away Hei Anjing to return to their room and rest.

Another barrier appeared around the territory of the general, and the almost invisible water barrier Hei Anjing erected temporarily faded as the barrier created by Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue took over the duties for the protection of their land. Unlike the invisible barrier of Hei Anjing, the barrier created by the two systems can be seen through a mortalʼs naked eyes. Thus, most mortals who suddenly saw an erect barrier were frightened as they felt that something was about to come over. Thatʼs why a barrier was made by their superiors.

At the residence area of the former generalʼs territory...

A commotion was happening just on the streets. Most soldiers and their family members were pointing at the sky, which had changed in shade due to the purple-colored barrier around the land. It was such a surprise that some soldiers had assembled, even waiting for the command of their superior. There are even soldiers who asked Lieutenant Shaka about this situation. In reality, he himself was shocked by that purple barrier.

”Oh my god! Why is the sky in that color?”

”Itʼs the end of the world!”

”Can we even survive?”

”Hm? Wait, that doesnʼt like the sky color at all.”

”Something is surrounding our land. Is that a barrier?”

”Did the lords make it?”

A captain among the soldiers was commanded to check the boundaries. Is that strange-colored sky above their heads caused by a barrier or not? The soldiers move systemically and in order. One group checks the boundaries, while the other group calms down the ordinary people and mermaids in the crowd. Among them, Lieutenant Shaka was staring at the purple barrier with a slightly dark face. There is no way he wouldnʼt recognize this barrier. Itʼs an ancient class barrier used to capture ancient gods. There are only two possibilities for this barrier.

Lieutenant Sirius von Shakaʼs thoughts at this moment: ʼHave I been caught? ʼ

The first is that he is caught, and the others wanted to lock him inside. Second, the others are preparing to block the attack from the sea. If it is the second one, then there is nothing for him to worry about, as this means that his identity hasnʼt been revealed yet. He actually felt like getting a jackpot when he bumped into his body while he was sneaking around trying to save people in the dark.

After all, with this body, he can enter this territory where most soldiers leave. Though he canʼt absorb any soldiers as it is too conspicuous, killing a few mortals, especially children, is easy. He only needed to pretend that the child died from an illness when, in reality, he had drained their blood to cover the rotten smell of his soul.

The soldiers who came to check on the boundaries reported, ”Captain! This is a barrier!”

”Itʼs all around the land under the generalʼs name!”

”Though this doesnʼt prevent us from coming out. Anything from the outside cannot go in!”

”How did you guys test that?” The captain asked.

”We picked a rock from outside the barrier and tried to throw it in. It bounced back and deflected completely.”

”This barrier might have something to do with our superiors. I will ask the Colonel about it,” the captain said.

All of a sudden they heard a voice coming from behind them saying, ”No need to check. This is something the Mermaid King, Lord Hei, had erected for protection. Everyone should be prepared. The sea will be attacking again soon,” said Colonel Lou Wuye.

Lieutenant Sirius von Shaka asked, ”Colonel, what about the others outside? Can they not come inside?”

”That will be decided by the lords. But they will most likely allow them inside, as they sent us here to rearrange the residences and keep the area secured with more space,” said Colonel Lou Wuye.

Warden Yun Ming said, ”We will need to open an area to erect some more tents in case something happens. Also, the houses will be destroyed and tents will be erected to secure more space.”

The young lieutenant wanted to speak up but halted when he saw this mermaid in human form looking at him and saying. ”This is the decision made by the lords after hearing the pleas from this young lieutenant here who wanted to save the others.”

The gentle smile on Yun Mingʼs face made Lieutenant Sirius von Shaka tremble. Especially, when he felt fierce and sharp eyes falling on him. Actually, that wasnʼt even his fault. The one who was asking for that was the original, not him. He didnʼt expect this naive young man to leave him a few bombs after taking over his body.

ʼAnnoying prick! Why do our houses need to be destroyed just because we want to save others? ʼ

ʼWhat is the use of saving those guys who looked down and treated Lord Ye and Lord Hei as enemies? ʼ

ʼUngrateful brat! Pressure the Lord for your own vanity! Tsk! ʼ

The young lieutenant didnʼt dare to turn around even after feeling the glares falling on him. Sirius von Shaka said, ”Colonel, maybe the houses donʼt need to be destroyed. How about erecting the tents on the streets or something?”

”That was the original plan, but after guessing the possible number of refugees, the current plan was implemented. Of course, you can disagree. Itʼs just that the mermaid king said that he doesnʼt need selfish people on this land,” Colonel Lou Wuye said.

An ordinary person asked, ”Lord Colonel, sir! What does that mean?”

”It means you will be kicked out,” said Yun Ming with a gentle smile.

However, at this moment, this gentle smile is more like a devilʼs smile in their eyes. This is a devil that will not be accepting no for an answer. Everyone can only take a step back and agree. They all went home and started packing up their things while the Chief Warden and Warden Yun Ming started their jobs, leaving the other no room to cry. They do not hate Lieutenant Sirius von Shaka, who is the source of these current events.

Lieutenant Sirius von Shaka mumbles, ”But that wasnʼt even me?” For a god of ancient times, this is the first time he felt helpless for such a simple thing, and he was speechless about it.
