The God of Void and the World Eater didn't even know what happened after they left. They head to the main city and pretend to be commoners among the others. They wanted to find a way to mix themselves among the humans. It wasn't that hard; they only needed to wear a disguise, look ordinary, and act ordinary. However, the ones coming outside are only those who are working for the sake of money and those who co out to buy things.
In the middle of the night, an unexpected night market was opened in the main city. Everyone is allowed to visit, and the things sold in this market are mostly things from the deceased clans from the homicide case. That's why there are lots of police mixed among the others. Ye Xiajie and An Shizhe were among the crowd.
Ye Xiajie said, "It was right of you not to bring Jing'er in this place. He hates crowds and dirt the most."
"Going to such places is enough for us to do. Moreover, what is he going to do by coming with us? Do you want him to beco a target? Those old bastards hate anything that has anything to do with chaos," said An Shizhe.
Ye Xiajie asked, "Those ancient souls... Why do they hate the Ancient God of Chaos?"
"The Ancient God born from the Chaos is the peak of strength. All ancient gods see him as their lord, their protector. Just because he is the strongest among them. Sounds ridiculous, isn't it?" said the World Eater, An Shizhe.
Ye Xiajie said, "The weak always think that the powerful need to protect. Even though those in power had no responsibility to protect them."
"Right! That's why I killed them all," said An Shizhe.
The God of Void showed no surprise that the World Eater took this choice. After all, if he were in his shoes, he would most likely have done the sa thing. Why does his beloved have to protect strangers that have nothing to do with them? It's not like he was the only god in the first place; they are all gods themselves. A god asking another god for protection when you don't even have a blood connection or any relationship.
The world eater glanced at him, watching his behavior, and said, "You don't seem to be offended? Well, you are an evil god; your choice would most likely be the sa as mine."
"Not only . My wife would have done the sa. But the gods before would most likely not make that choice; that's why you ended up becoming their sole enemy," said Ye Xiajie.
The World Eater halted his strides and said, "Yes. I've never regretted my decision. My only regret is that my beloved chose to end himself for my sake. Moreover, it was because I failed to protect myself that he had to protect and get hurt because of my own carelessness. At that mont, I feel that I am the most useless man in the world."
The God of Void turned silent in this world. It can be said that he and this man are truly similar to one another.
"You think you and I are similar, don't you?" said An Shizhe.
The God of Void didn't respond, but this silence was like a silent agreent to the World Eater's words.
The World Eater said, "Don't you know? It is impossible for ancient gods to be born with the sa powers. This is the sa for other gods. They would have mutated in another way or so. Those from the sa bloodline had similar elents, but their main elents differed from one another. This is a mutation."
Seeing the stunned look of the God of Void, the World Eater sniggers at him.
"You said that you are my soul fragnt, even so you don't fear or feel like you are under . All soul fragnts are subordinate to the original. However, the power of gluttony in you is indeed mine. That's why you are weird. Is the power of gluttony in you sothing you have with you? Or sothing given to you?" asked An Shizhe.
The God of Void thought for a mont. This power is indeed sothing that he was born with. It was sothing he could use after eting 'him' in that broken world.
"It was sothing given by soone who looked exactly like myself in so broken world. He even pulled in so kind of past ti where I had beco you," said Ye Xiajie.
The World Eater felt a bit weird. This man is supposed to be his soul fragnt, and there is no way his other fragnts will seek him. They only seek , the original, or sothing who was born from and with bloodline. All of a sudden, An Shizhe grabbed Ye Xiajie's wrist.
He said, "Don't move. There is sothing I would like to check. Let check your soul for a mont."
The God of Void has no say as the World Eater enters his soul domain. But before he could find what he wanted to see, he felt a power that is similar to both his and his lover, Hunluan. He was forcibly taken out of Ye Xiajie's soul domain. All he can rember is a pair of silver eyes with the similar hidden madness he possessed.
In reality, An Shizhe gasped as he instantly let go of the God of Void's hand. When he looked at the bewildered face of Ye Xiajie, what caught his eyes were those black snowflakes that appeared on the young man's face, glowing as if warning him. He couldn't help but laugh.
The World Eater laughed happily and said, "I see. That's how it is. No wonder. It's no wonder, I cannot bring myself to kill him. You were all along our..."
Before he could complete his world, a sudden commotion happened. The people are suddenly running away, while the police are hurriedly running over towards the scene ard. On the other hand, they heard the shouting in the background.
"Run! Run! It's that unknown!"
"The unknown monster had appeared."
"Fuck! He really slls like sothing rotten! Blergh~"
"Damn! I saw him change his body. That creepy~"
The God of Void and the World Eater imdiately made their move and jumped towards the Ancient Soul that finally appeared before them. It just changed its body and is now using a female commoner to mix with the crowd. Even though its vessel doesn't reek anything rotten yet, it won't be able to escape the eyes of the God of Void, who handles sinners' souls ever since the creation of the Nether Prison. The police, of course, saw them, and half of them went on their trail.
The World Eater asked, "Which is it?"
"The young lady in braids and a plain white dress!" answered the God of Void.
The World Eater, An Shizhe, chose not to use gluttony to catch the Ancient Soul. Instead, he uses his current vessel's power as a sea dragon, like the God of Void. He controlled the water in the vicinity instantly, trapping the young lady in a braid. With a gesture, a huge waterball imprisoning a female human was imprisoned inside.
Before An Shizhe and Ye Xiajie made their next move, they were suddenly surrounded by policen pointing their guns at them.
Click!
"Police! Don't move!"
"Raise your hands!"
"Don't make unnecessary movents!"
"Give us that young lady!"
The God of Void and the World Eater looked at the police with disdain; this is especially true for An Shizhe, who never saw himself as equal to mortals. After all, he is born as an ancient god and a nace that is feared even by the gods.
"Just what are these mortals thinking when they point such a toy in front of this deity?" said the World Eater, An Shizhe.
The police were confused at first when they were suddenly called mortals by the ugly man until they saw him remove his disguise, looking so much like the forr general yet with crimson dragon eyes. They instantly realized that this man before him is most likely not human.
A police captain shouted, "Don't shoot!"
"Ah! M-Monster…!?"
Bang!
A gun trigger was pulled despite the actions of the other police trying to stop their officers from shooting; however, it's too late. The World Eater, An Shizhe, just snorted, and a wall made of water blocked the bullet. He looked at the young man who shot him with contempt in his eyes.
"I told you this kind of toy is useless against ~" said An Shizhe as he flicked the bullet back to the young police officer, but a veteran imdiately raised a bulletproof portable shield in front, blocking the bullet.
The World Eater said, "Oh~ it's block. Just how many can you block though? I won't forgive you for trying to steal my prey~"
"Old man, calm down," said the God of Void, Ye Xiajie.
For so unknown reasons, the World Eater complies with his words, albeit a bit unwillingly.
"Whatever, my prey is mine. No one can take it away," said An Shizhe.
Ye Xiajie also removed his disguise, which startled everyone in the area as they recognized him. The police were shocked, and the crowd was dumbfounded upon seeing him without the disguise on his face.
"Put down your weapons! This man is not an enemy!" said the God of Void.
"Lord General Ye!?"
