Chapter 1066: 16.112 First Red Star - The World eaten by the Void.
A bright flash of light and a ma.s.sive sword with a holy aura had fallen on Lemuel Elon and Darius Rueden. They died together. Growing up together, they entered the Templar Temple as a pair and eventually left together. The overflow of divine aura left behind by the Holy Sword of Judgement instantly burned the undeads nearby to ashes, injuring even the three Captain cla.s.s undead. Darius Rueden"s single sacrifice was enough to tip the scales in favor of the living.
The Devil not only lost his demon lord commander, but the majority of his soldiers were also burned to ashes, and his other high-ranking undeads were injured. He had not antic.i.p.ated Lemuel Elon"s soul awakening at the last moment. Most of his undead servants were linked through thoughts. He ordered him to kill Darius Rueden, who was hugging him at the time, but his soul awoke and refused to kill Darius Rueden, instead accompanying him in death.
His entire being was filled with rage as he watched his side become a losing one simply because Darius Rueden chose to die with Lemuel Elon. He suffered a great deal after the death of Lemuel Elon. After all, he was his favorite toy and undead.
Kenan Light was on the verge of going insane from rage when he destroyed his throne. He can only watch as Lemuel Elon not only fails his mission but also fails to kill anyone important from the opposing side.
THUD! BOOM!
"The useless thing! He didn"t even kill anyone and just died like that. He should have killed my brother at least! Those three are trash! Is it that hard to kill those brats!!! Tsk! So in the end I had to do it on my own!" Kenan Light said.
He appears to have returned to his castle after issuing his commands to his servants to watch the fun. He also did not expect all of his plans to fail and to lose an extremely useful toy like Lemuel Elon. He could have used his soul as a bargaining chip to force Darius Rueden to defect. Unfortunately, he lost everything and was forced to make a personal move.
He keeps throwing tantrums in anger, "How can he wake up in the end!? I made sure to trap his soul in that body forever." Then he suddenly recalled that person"s warning.
{Even if you sealed someone"s memories it can be aroused by death. Be careful.}
Tsk!
"So he was talking about Lemuel!? Why didn"t he just tell me straight!? s.h.i.t!"
Kenan Light, who had stopped his tantrums not because he was tired, but because he was hungry, looked at the horizon full of people with an excited and insatiable gaze. His drool was uncontrollable as it slid down the corner of his lips.
Growls~ Slurped!
"Hungry~ I"m so hungry again~ No more. I can"t control it anymore..." Murmured Kenan Light as he finally decided to show himself and fight in the frontlines himself.

At the Genus Academy"s Territory...
The explosion of light elements turned the area"s lesser undeads into dust. The aftereffects of the Holy Sword severely injured the Dullahan, undead werewolf, and undead knight. On the other hand, the excess divinity of such an area-of-effect spell resulted in rapid regeneration healing for those who were still alive. Even those who had lost limbs began to regrow after being struck by such a golden light.
"Encirclement! Surround those three and immediately kill them!!"
The commander of the living side didn"t waste this opportunity and ordered the warriors to besiege the three high-ranked undeads while they were weakened.
"Hah! Stop daydreaming! You can"t defeat us even if we are injured! f.u.c.k off!"
"This isn"t the end! So what if you kill the commander!? We still have his majesty!!"
"This isn"t the end! As long as I can kill one of the mission targets his majesty would reward me! Human Brat! I will take you down with me!"
The undead werewolf slipped through the crowd in Beast Form. He had set his sights on Carnelian Dawn from the start because it was one of the missions his Master had a.s.signed to them. They are already dead, but Kenan Light has given them a second chance at life, so their devotion to him is unwavering. They were not forced to become undead like Lemuel Elon. Kenan Light saved them because they didn"t want to die after being abandoned, used, and betrayed by their loved ones and friends. So Kenan Light is their G.o.d, according to these three.
"LOOK OUT, CAR!!" Almost everyone from the Dawn Family shouted this sentence.
Carnelian Dawn was caught off guard by the Undead Werewolf. Conri Lycaon appeared and crashed Carnelian Dawn from above to the ground, just as everyone thought they would have to witness her being bitten by the werewolf. He stepped on the undead werewolf"s head and used a wind tornado spell to shred it into thousands of pieces.
Conri Lycaon hugged Carnelian Dawn with his tail protecting him completely and said, "Stay away from my Luna!"
"Stop Struggling! You three are about to die anyway." Esther Dawn said as they surrounded the three injured high-ranked undeads.
The majority of the lesser undead had died, and even the three highest-ranking undeads were in poor health; the victory was clearly on the side of the living. Keylan Light, who was concentrating on a spell to purify the entire world, was stabbed from behind and his heart was dug out just as everyone thought everything was over. Because he is a G.o.d, his blood is gold, and he did not die immediately after his heart was removed.
AAAHHH!!!
Everyone saw Kenan Light appearing from behind Keylan Light using his shadow and digging his heart out they could only watch as the devil ate the heart of the G.o.d, Keylan Light.
Keylan Light weakened greatly after his heart was taken away, his divinity was slowly being stripped. Becoming a mortal was only a matter of time.
"K-Kenan... Light... Cough!"
Kenan Light gave out an evil laugh and said, "Master, do you not miss this disciple? By the way, your heart is quite tasty~ hehehe~"
Keylan Light, the temporary Domain Lord whose heart was eaten, gradually became a mortal and can no longer support the entire world as a G.o.d. The world trembles in fear, looking for someone to protect it. Because Keylan Light is severely injured and Mikaela is not present, the world searches for something to protect it. Keylan Light a.s.sumed it would choose Asher Light because he is his heir... Instead, it chose the worst option, one that would make even Kenan Light regret doing so.
It chose the strongest candidate among all the candidates, Ca.s.sius Ambrosia, who was born in this world but detaches from it, as expected. The world was aware of his strength and indifference, but in the end, it chose him again to save itself. A powerful light pillar had fallen from the heavens somewhere in the Academy, and when everyone saw the direction, even Kenan Light frowned. It was in the direction of the territory"s outskirts. There are only two couples who live there.
At this moment, Randall Ruid and Luther D"Arcy"s faces turned pale at such a sight. They knew what the world had done and because of this, that Venerable Lord would completely lose it.
Randall Ruid said, "Ah! The worst-case scenario happened! This stupid star chose someone it shouldn"t have as its protector!!!"
Everyone suddenly felt the light was being eaten... No, it was the whole world that was being eaten by the darkness. They were shocked by the following events as no one aside from Randall Ruid and Luther D"Arcy can understand what was happening at all.
"What the h.e.l.l is happening!?"
"The sky no... the world is turning... dark."
Luciel Dawn and Thana Daybreak looked at the sky which seemingly was eaten by the darkness that slowly covers the whole world.
Randall Ruid scratches his head in annoyance and says, "It"s not that simple. This world... I mean your world is being eaten by the void. It would become a part of it since it chose Lord Ca.s.sius as its protector. Ah! This star is crazier than I thought!"
"The Lord G.o.d had no choice. Since the world had chosen, unless this world used up its lifespan it would always be connected to Lord Ca.s.sius and won"t be able to leave until then." Luther D"Arcy said.
Asher Light asked, "Is this still our world?"
"Not anymore. Since it"s already eaten by the void then... It"s already a part of the Abyss. You guys lost the world that was meant for you." Luther D"Arcy said.
Everyone was taken aback by what they"d just heard. They couldn"t believe someone could take over the entire world in such a short period of time. Meanwhile, Kenan Light, who was vigilantly looking around, heard that eerie and aloof voice that gave him nightmares. The person who had repeatedly brought him to the brink of death.
"As a Domain Lord, you let your guard down so easily just because you thought you"d won. So useless."
UGH!
Someone kicked Keylan Light away, who was caught and treated in the corner by Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang. Meanwhile, Kenan Light"s shoulder was touched. It was only a light touch, but Kenan Light felt his entire being crushed and couldn"t stop himself from screaming. He felt his entire soul being gripped and forcefully examined, and the pain was unbearable, even after becoming a devil.
ARGGHHH!!!!
"So noisy."
Kenan Light"s tongue fell as soon as this voice fell. Black blood pours from his open mouth.
He was still screaming in agony, but the man who was causing it only looked down on him with apathetic eyes. It was as bad as looking at a bug. It was more like looking at filth on the road. Everyone recognized who appeared out of nowhere, leaving them speechless in terror and disbelief. Fenrir Skoll was his name. At least, that was the appearance on his face.
Ignoring everyone else"s gaze on him, Fenrir Skoll who was so angry just finished observing everything in Kenan Light and just frowned as he clearly didn"t find what he wanted.
"Only a faint trace. It left the world already. Well, it was how stupid the host it had chosen, of course, it gave up and left. Tsk! He succeeded in making my wife"s soul fragment stay in this world in the end. How annoying. Truly absurd! Ah~ I"m so angry!!!" Mumbled Fenrir Skoll.
His tone was so cold that it made everyone in the area shivers. Even Randall Ruid and Luther D"Arcy didn"t dare to step in as they knew how scary this person is when in a rage.
Fenrir Skoll said, "Warden Lou Wuye, grabbed Mikaela for this Deity. While you are at it tell my brother I ate one of its worlds, so give it to me."
Randall Ruid took a step forward, and seeing that the situation had completely changed, he ceased using the Randall Ruid vessel and returned to his original appearance. Warden Lou appeared before Fenrir Skoll down on one knee, his face hidden beneath his cloak, wearing pure black armor and robes and respectfully saluting his lord.
"As you command, Lord G.o.d!" Warden Lou was sent out of the void by its owner.
Luther D"Arcy also took a step forward, ignoring his current vessel and returning to his true form. He wears a similar black robe to Warden Lou, but the difference is that his face isn"t hidden, so everyone can see his G.o.dly appearance. He has long black dark brown hair flowing behind his back and a pair of gla.s.ses that hide his lavender shade irises. His features were superior to mortals and even more divine than a G.o.d such as Keylan Light. He also got down on one knee and bowed his head to the G.o.d of Void.
Warden Yun Ming appeared, "Venerable Lord, Lord G.o.d Ye can this servant ask where his master is?" He was asking where Ca.s.sius Ambrosia is at the moment.
Fenrir Skoll, enraged, destroyed his vessel and reverted to his original form. A devilish beauty with a dangerous aura that can make anyone who sees him fearful. He was so attractive, especially with those inhuman crimson eyes, that they felt their soul was being sucked away just by looking at him from afar.
"Asleep. Merging with the world. I"m so angry that I want to kill them all! You handle the rest here. I need to return to the Netherworld to check on my wife." Ye Xiajie said as his black-white robes fluttered with his big movement as he took his strides away.
Warden Yun Ming asked, "What should be done to the mortals?"
"Throw this piece of s.h.i.t to the lower h.e.l.l. I want his soul to suffer for all eternity. He caused all of this after all." Ye Xiajie threw Kenan Light at the foot of Warden Yun Ming. "As for the rest, if my brother had no use for them, just eliminate them all. Do I have to worry about the lives of mortals?! It would be better if none of them existed at all. Hmp!"
His words made Asher Light and the others tremble. Only they realized that this man, whom they used to call Instructor Skoll, was a dangerous man who treated them as ants he could crush at any time. They were terrified just by hearing his horrifying words. They could finally take a breath after Ye Xiajie vanished on the spot and they were teleported somewhere else.
