*****Everyone went stunned before quickly looking, the following second, all mouths gaped open.The grand elder of the Demon sect, who had always been all high and cold was currently kneeling and bowing repeatedly toward the Deity.“Grand… Grand elder!” A few of the Demon sect warriors cried out.However, just as they finished, the grand elder waved his hands and… (pft.. pft…)Blood splashed and the unlucky warriors fell dead.The place fell silent in an instant and this silence lasted for a moment before; “Please accept us as your slave!”It began with an elder, also kneeling and following this;“We surrender!”“We surrender!!”All the Demon Sect’s members fell to their knees, crying…..The members of the Orders of the Immortal Shield appeared stunned and were unresponsive for an extended period, questioning if the opposing group was still the same one that had troubled them for years.The virus they had been doing their all to destroy.….Apart from the cries of the
***** Of all the things Ares had anticipated, seeing his parents—whom his heart had long yearned for since learning about them—definitely wasn't one of them. He had never expected to meet them at his weakest and most desperate moment.It was a moment he would never forget in his life as their arrival immediately saved him and ended any presence of intruders on Earth.The husband and wife duo did not hesitate to eradicate all the members of the Demon sect clan, leaving them in regret, unwillingness, and pain.As for the deity, given how her strength was on par with either of the couple, she was let off after making to swear an oath to heaven, using her cultivation that she would never intrude on earth or cause trouble again. And like that, in a matter of minutes, the horror and virus that had pillaged the earth for hundreds of thousands of years was put to an end. It was a moment that would forever be recorded in the anal of history. ….. “You know nothing hadn’t actually changed,
***** "So, this is Jasper," Ares thought as he observed the middle-aged man bowing respectfully to his parents. He was at a loss for what to feel, gazing at the person he had deeply despised and always hated to the bone until now. He had always believed this person had betrayed his parents. In case it had been forgotten, this was the name Ares heard on the day he unlocked his inheritance—the name of the person who had betrayed his parents. Actually, Jasper had not betrayed his parents, no. In fact, everything that happened back then was all part of his parents' plan. They had deliberately made Jasper constantly reveal their locations in order to draw the enemy's attention toward themselves, allowing their organization, which had been on the verge of collapse at the time, a chance to recuperate. Apart from the organization being the main reason, another factor was that the couple had discovered the existence of a deceased Deity’s tomb. Needing to search for this Deity’s inherita
***** "What can I do now that you and second brother decided to disappear on me?" The first brother, who appeared to have matured significantly compared to his past self, let out a deep sigh in response to Ares's question. Ares stared at him for a moment before clenching his fists. ‘Do I really think he would feel like he's on top of the world just because I decided to come back?’ he thought with a wry smile, recalling something. “Aren’t I also like him?” he mumbled, recalling how he wouldn’t forgive his parents after learning the true reason behind their disappearance. Instantly, all of Ares's remaining anger toward his parents vanished. .... Returning to see his first brother made him realize that sometimes, causing pain to one's loved ones is beyond one’s control because as long as there are bigger pictures to consider, one would always betray the trust of their loved ones. Ares let out a heavy sigh and gazed intently at his first brother before finally deciding to open up t
*****Have you ever been in a situation where everything just seemed out of place?That was what Ares was feeling at this moment, standing bewildered near his girlfriend’s bustling apartment and observing it.He was puzzled and couldn’t understand how the place would be crowded and noisy after Sarah had just informed him that she wasn’t at home.“Could it be that I’m at the wrong apartment?” Ares contemplated, but then he soon shook his head. "I'm sure this is her apartment. Although it's been a while since I last visited, how could I not recognize the flat whose rent I've been paying?"He couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly while pondering the situation.Ares, utterly drained and exhausted from days of relentless work, gathering the remaining balance for his girlfriend's birthday gift had rushed here immediately after securing the present, hoping to surprise her. Yet, as he was nearing her floor, he received a message from her, informing him that she was heading out with frie
*****“Darn!!! What did I just watch?"In a dormitory, a 25-year-old man, dressed only in his underwear, who had been seated at his desk with his laptop suddenly jumped to his feet and exclaimed."Ugh!!! Second sibling, could you please let me sleep? I have an early class tomorrow morning which I must attend!" Another person cried out with frustration and helplessness."Eldest... eldest brother, come… come and see this. I... I believe we need to inform the third brother immediately?""What?" The eldest brother, a man who appeared to be one year older than the second brother grumbled unhappily before he sat up from the bed and looked irritably at the nervous second sibling bro."Why should I contact the third brother, who decided to become our enemy merely because of that cheater?" He sneered, appearing offended, but the second brother disregarded his feelings."You must come and see this." He hurried toward the bed and pulled the eldest brother out of it, against his will and toward h
***** In the middle of a street, that had nonstop people walking by, a young man, who was in blood was presently trashing and crying wildly on the ground with agony, but the passersby only glanced interestingly at him before going their way, acting as though they couldn’t see that he was in pain. The young man was Ares, whom his bully had already left behind. He continued crying for a long time, feeling the most immense pain of his life. The intense agony persisted for around thirty minutes, an unusually prolonged duration compared to his previous experiences. Then, as usual, whenever he suffered injuries, the green orb-shaped gem pendant hanging from a tiny rope around his neck began to emit a warm glow, sending a comforting sensation coursing through Ares' body.Normally, the glow, which only Ares could see would only flash for a bit before disappearing, but as the pain and Injury he was inflicted upon this time around was stronger than anything he had ever experienced before in
***** After getting healed from his injury and leaving the spot, Ares did not return to his dorm, instead, he continued walking aimlessly forward, his thoughts and minds completely jumbled together. Although Ares now hated Sarah to the end of the world, for not only cheating on him, sending people to beat him up, but for also betraying his trust, and wasting his time and effort all these years despite already knowing that she would never marry him. The more Ares walked, the more he thought, and the more he recalled all his plans and promises for Sarah, the same for hers to him. Although it was difficult for a nobody to make it and become wealthy in Rex City, Ares had promised himself to make it, to be wealthy for Sarah. Although he has no savings and always spends everything on her, as he earns it, even going on hunger strikes times without numbers, Ares’s dreams had still stand. If not for his miracle orb, perhaps, he would have become nothing but a Skelton, with the way he sta
