Chapter 588: 11.114 First Green Star – Punishment World: ‘Purgatory’ (11)
In the Colosseum...
Without Ye Xiajie or Hei Anjing taking the lead, Lan She and Chu Mo nominated Han Ya to lead the team. As supporting characters in this world, both Lan She and Chu Mo are not able to make a scene that would place them under the spotlight.
After the married couple left, all other players had gathered in front of the hotel in which numerous carriages were once again waiting for their arrival. But this time all players were fully geared up from the top to below, they knew they would have to fight all day with their lives in the colosseum.
The Colosseum is a huge round shape building without a roof, and a wide center arena while surrounded by floored benches for the audience. When the carriages brought the players to arrive at the venue they were welcomed by demon guards in full plated armor and some other noble demons who came over to watch. All eyes landed on them and most of them were attracted to the top-ranked team which is not led by Han Ya.
Zane felt nervous seeing most eyes land on them, “Whoa~ they are all staring at us~”
Qi Yun walking beside him said, “This is normal. Who told your bosses to massacre the whole Spirit Race in the Hell’s Labyrinth.”
“Did you guys kill all the Spirit race people in the Labyrinth? If yes, then the pureblooded Fae Race might target us during the battle royale,” said Qi Lanyu.
.....
Yu Suya noticed some glaring eyes from within the crowd and saw that they were demigod ranked spirit race people.
“Remove the ‘might’ in your sentence. We are hundred percent sure that the Pureblood Spirit Race hates our team to the core.” said Yu Suya.
An Yuan and Lan She also noticed the team of Spirit Race people with an even purer aura of nature than those in Hell’s Labyrinth. Their hair was the deep color of elements showing the density of their strengths. Whether it was red which signifies the fire element, green for wind elements, blue for water, yellow for earth, and so forth.
Lan She spoke, “Since you’ve left a few hair strands with me, they shouldn’t be any problem even if you guys die multiple times. Either way, just make sure to gather information about their weakness before you die.”
“Hahaha~ don’t worry guys. Go wild! With immortal cockroaches our titles are the strongest among the rest for the whole day.” said Chu Mo.
Han Ya mumbled, “Immortal Cockroaches? It fits us too well.”
“Are we splitting?” asked Qi Yun.
Han Ya glanced at An Yuan and Lan She. Most of the time if Lord Hei is not on the team these two took the position of the brain of the team.
An Yuan commented, “Normally, I wouldn’t suggest splitting the group but... With the skill Lord Hei had lent to us there is no longer a problem of death.”
“Let it be their choice then. If you have some personal businesses with a certain race go ahead and leave. Qi Yun and his team would definitely look for Ming Liang right?” asked Lan She.
Qi Yun replied, “Yes, as three would split with the group to look for the Angel race.”
“Please lend us if it took too hard for us to bear,” said Yu Suya.
Lan She and the rest nod their heads. While Han Ya even gave them a communication device from the higher realm. This device is in the form of a bracelet.
“Contact us using this. Don’t worry about getting us involved. We were already involved with all your fights when the contract was signed. Under Lord Hei’s order, we are to help you fulfill what you wanted to achieve. Just say the word we will be there.” said Chu Mo.
Qi Yun and his group felt delighted with the words their allies had told them. Just these words alone show their proof of the promise. This is more than enough.
Qi Lanyu said smiling, “Thank you. We will only ask for help if we really can’t defeat them on our own.”
Lan She said, “Once the battle royale starts using the chaos we will start to blend with the crowd and look for the Angel race.”
“Affirmative.” said Yu Suya.
Han Ya also spoke up and said, “I and A’Yuan together with Zane would also like to split up.”
An Yuan wasn’t surprised by his beloved’s plan. They had long talked about this since last night. Only Zane was startled.
Zane exclaimed, “Eh!? Why?”
Lan She glanced at Zane and said to Han Ya and An Yuan, “You wanted to help Zane look for his missing lover, Sylvie?”
An Yuan smiled and said, “Yes. After I had ascended as God, the information my eyes could see had also upgraded. This time I could see connections between the various relationships of all kinds. I know how we would be able to find Sylvie.”
Zane suddenly grabbed An Yuan’s hand and his expression shows urgency and excitement.
“Really!? You are not lying to me. Sly is in this place!?” asked Zane.
Han Ya pulled away from the sticky paws of his childhood friend, preventing him from touching his beloved, and said, “Watch your hands. We are not lying. Sylvie is in this Colosseum but... Right now someone or something must be blocking our senses. We would only be able to pinpoint the location when the battle begins.”
“Don’t worry Brother Zane. I and Xiao Han would help you find Saozi (sister-in-law).” said An Yuan.
Zane couldn’t stop himself from hugging both Han Ya and An Yuan in joy. He is almost in tears as he hugs these two friends of his. The best of the best. They are even willing to help him look for his lover even though the situation is dangerous. They are real friends in life.
“Thank you, A’Han, An An!” said Zane while hugging them tightly in his embrace.
Han Ya said, “Tsk! We haven’t even found Sylvie yet you are already crying.”
“Come on. Don’t cry now,” said An Yuan while patting Zane’s back.
Chu Mo who was silently watching the scene had a sudden realization. He then asked his lover as usual.
“Honey, if those two players are indeed kidnapped by the demigods and gods, wouldn’t they be under hypnosis since they aren’t even coming back on their own?” said Chu Mo.
His words woke up everyone in the team, especially Qi Yun and Zane whose lovers were taken away. Just based on the relationship those two have with Zane and Qi Yun there is no way they wouldn’t try to escape from whatever race had taken them.
Seeing that there were no attempts known of them escaping, their memories must have been sealed or erased. If this indeed happened then even if Qi Yun and Zane got their lovers the possibility of them not recognizing their lovers would be huge.
Lan She spoke, “If the memories are only sealed then... There are no problems. But their memories are erased even if I or A’Mo had no means to get back their memories.”
Qi Yun also panicked at this fact. “This... What should we do then?”
“There is only one person who could revert erased memories. But he is not with us now and... Whether he helps us would depend on another person as well.” said Han Ya.
“Xiao Ya, are you talking about Lord Abyss?” asked An Yuan but like his beloved’s expression, his face is painted with uncertainty.
That ruthless Supreme God only listens to the advice of his wife. It just so happens that his wife himself is another merciless God of Destruction. Would those two even help them with a problem so simple for them to solve?
Han Ya said, “Yes. Lord Abyss only listens to Lord Hei. It would be a bit hard by asking Lord Hei but it is the safest way to solve this problem.”
Everyone who recalled the extremely beautiful young man smiling mischievously as he cut off Qi Yun’s neck a few hours ago. Others felt a shiver climbing up their spine just thinking about that scene.
Everyone’s thoughts, ‘Are you sure he is the safest way, not the deadliest instead?’
Lan She finalized the plan and planned to buy everyone some binding prop that could even catch a God and gave it to the team.
He said, “Either way, whether Lord Hei would help would depend on his mood. For now, let’s focus on catching them if they don’t agree to come with us. Here are some tools to catch them. Which to buy?” said Lan She.
Chu Mo commented, “Catching people. I have some special tools here. You can even catch a few Highgods with it. Do you want to borrow?”
As he said that, Chu Mo pulled a few black colored rings whose size can be controlled accordingly. It was made from unknown materials but looking at the details on it closely one could see ancient runes and dragon scales on it.
Everyone looked at the rings and crimson ice keys with doubtful eyes, especially Zane but only Han Ya and An Yuan couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
—
Nether Rings
State: Indestructible (By normal means.)
Weakness: Eternal Ice [Special and Unique Ice that only the Mo Bloodline possessed.]
An extremely useful tool for catching criminals or Fallen Gods. It is made from special materialized Nether Dragon scales who were infamous for their unbreakable defense and thickness of their scales. It is a Godly artifact that was refined by the Lord God of the Netherworld himself which could only be broken by the nemesis of Hell Fire which is the Eternal Ice. Aside from Eternal Ice, even Immortal Gods are not able to destroy these rings. Even the key to unlock it is made from Eternal Ice.

—
Nether Blood Keys
State: Indestructible (By normal means.)
Weakness: Hell Flames [A unique fire found in Abyss owned by the God of Void.]
Made from the unmelting ice even in the highest realm, made from the blood of someone from the Mo Bloodline and eternal ice. The droplet of blood within dyed the ice red. Another artifact that is paired with the Nether rings, is the sole tool that could unlock the Nether rings.

Han Ya murmured, “What the hell? I want one...”
“An above SSS ranked prop!? Is even a unique item.” mumbled An Yuan with glowing eyes.
Chu Mo hummed and said, “I’m only lending it to you, brats. Better return it to me as I use this in my original job.”
Zane asked with a doubtful expression on his face, “Big Bro~ are you sure these small rings are useful?”
“Heh~ let’s try it on you. If you can escape from it I will call you grandpa,” said Chu Mo with an evil grin on his face.
Zane puffed his chest and proudly said, “Let’s do it. I’m sure I can break those small rings of yours, Big Bro!”
Sneers~ “Say that when you broke free as you declared!” said Chu Mo as he lightly flicked his fingers and before Zane could even react the ring split into two.
One captured Zane’s wrists like handcuffs and the other chained his ankles together. Before he could forcefully separate his hand and legs, as if a strong magnet attracted the cuff it wouldn’t split apart for more than a single finger distance before joining together.
“Ack! What is this!? When I tried to separate my hands the force of attraction in between is too strong even when using my full power. What’s worse is that it seals my mana and I can’t feel it in my body at all!!” said Zane as he fell on the group, squirming like a coiling shrimp in hot water. “Big Bro, I’m wrong. Your rings are so amazing. Please let me go.”
“Hm~ wait. I forgot where I’ve put the keys~” said Chu Mo. Looking so serious yet his eyes were full of mirth.
Zane knows that Chu Mo is playing him and wiggles even more as he tries to crawl toward Chu Mo begging that he was wrong. Even laugh at how silly Zane looked at that moment.
Few of them didn’t notice that aside from the hateful glares coming from the Pureblood Spirit race, some other races like the angels, demons, elves, and more were observing them from a distance. The peals of laughter coming from their team contrast with those eyes coming from them. They look at their team as if they were their prey.
.....
“3 Royal grade bloodlines, 3 divine grad bloodlines, and 2 unknown. Plus, two of them noticed me peeking. I might be a fake god but I’m pretty close to being a true one. The one who noticed me is one of the two unknowns. It would be bad if they are like me, a tiger pretending to be a sheep. Hehehe~”
The most powerful presence that was observing them finally left. Lan She who was watching the person from the corner of his eyes saw the man leave.
Lan She murmured, “A fake god close to becoming a real one. Did he receive incomplete enlightenment? As expected those from the Empyrean Domain had come to join the fun. Are they looking for players to abduct?”
“Honey, forget about them. It’s about time we enter the arena,” said Chu Mo who held his hand.
Lan She stared at their hands in dazed as if this scene is similar but sadly he couldn’t recall completely. As his memories were vague ever since Lord Hei had weakened the seals in his soul. Prisoners are not supposed to remember anything about their life outside the Nether System. This is until he completes his trials and regains his freedom.
Chu Mo saw his lover dazed and asked, “Is there a problem, Ming’er?”
“Nothing. Let’s go,” replied Lan She as he grips back the big palms holding his. Deep inside his heart, he couldn’t stop his heartbeats pounding in his chest.
The players were finally called by the guards of the Colosseum to enter the arena. As all players entered the fighting stage, unknown to them the gates of the Colosseum had completely disappeared. They could never have this place unless they won the battle royal. Whether as a team or alone, only one of either could remain alive.
