Chapter 590: 11.116 First Green Star – Punishment World: ‘Purgatory’ (13)
In the Empyrean Domain...
A familiar voice came calling from the inside of the small two-story house. As the main door of the house suddenly slammed open, an interior contrasting the outside architecture was revealed from the inside.
The exterior of the house is not much different from an abandoned house in which no one would dare to live. Tall grasses filled the front yard, dying dried trees that were about to fall on their own. House walls with cracks on them showing how old this building is, then dirty and cracked window panes that no one knows how many decades had passed to accumulate such thick dust on its surface.
A familiar yet stranger’s voice resounds from the inside calling for Hei Anjing.
“Child, come in. Since you have arrived, come and meet me, your paternal grandfather. Your husband can come inside with you as well.”
The voice was ethereal and calm, a voice of a gentle old man asking them for a visit. Regardless of the kindness in the man’s voice, Hei Anjing’s face remained cold and aloof while Ye Xiajie wears a nonchalant expression on his face as if he doesn’t care about the identity of this man who calls himself his wife’s grandfather.
Hei Anjing looked at the open door expressionless while his husband held his hands gently as he asked.
.....
“Baby, do you want to go inside? I could just destroy this whole space including this world if you don’t wish to meet this old bastard,” said Ye Xiajie.
Hei Anjing replied, “No. Let’s go meet him.”
“Anything you wish, my Jing’er~,” said Ye Xiajie as he accompanied his wife in entering the house made of space elements.
Meanwhile, the owner watching them using the essences of space witnessed the scenes of their conversation clearly.
“Hm, this child never changes. The changes in his emotions are all about this Evil God.”
“On the other hand, this former Supreme God of Void... Is it because his memories are complete that made him silly or... He is just like this towards my grandson. Either way, it is time to meet them myself.”
The fingers of his only hand couldn’t help but rub the face of Hei Anjing face on the screen like a thing before him. In his eyes are yearning, guilt, and regrets flashing within those dull irises. Despite having a few points similar to Hei Anjing’s features, his expression is closer to that of the father of Hei Anjing instead.
“It’s been a while since we met. I wonder if you still hate me until now, Jing’er.”

Back to the city of Hell, Purgatory.
In the Colosseum...
As if all hell breaks through, the chaos in the arena is the depiction of hell. Dead bodies scattering around. Limbs separated from the bodies, blood splashing all around and shrieks or screams of pain with a clear sound of suffering can be heard echoing on the stage mixing with the sound of weapons or explosions taking place on it.
A Battle Royale, traditionally, refers to a fight involving many combatants that is fought until only one fighter remains standing, usually conducted under either boxing or wrestling rules. In recent times, the term has been used in a more general sense to refer to any fight involving large numbers of people who are not organized into factions.
A free for all battle where only the last man standing could be considered a winner. During the fight, there were no restrictions on weapons or ways of killing as long your opponents died and if only you or your team remained in the end then the championship would be yours.
Chaos has fallen in the arena in the midst of it Zane, Han Ya, An Yuan, Qi Yun, Qi Lanyu, and Yu Suya are having a killing spree. Observing from above are Chu Mo and Lan She who are in their awakened form.
Chu Mo spoke, “They are enjoying themselves quite well ba~”
They could see the players that surrounded their team getting lesser as their members got killed by Han Ya and the rest.
“It’s normal. Thanks to Lord God Ye’s help Han Ya, An Yuan, and Zane had successfully reached God State. Qi Yun and Qi Lanyu are also not bad thanks to the purity of their bloodlines while Yu Suya’s awakened state had also reached half divinity and can be considered as a Demigod. Our team is full of cheats that ordinary players won’t be able to defeat,” said Lan She.
Chu Mo responded, “Indeed. But I think the ones we are waiting for are coming, which is a good thing right?”
As those words came out of Chu Mo’s mouth, two unexpected guests appeared before them. One is a Vampire who materialized from a blood mist and the other is a 4 winged angel whose aura emits holiness. What’s surprising is that the vampire is surrounded by a few more bats hovering around and these bats are his subordinates.
Despite the sudden arrival of two people with Quasi-God strengths, Chu Mo and Lan She remained calm. To them who are True Gods, Demigods and Quasi-Gods are no different from the children below they are looking after.
Lan She spoke, “Introduce yourself and tell us what you wanted?”
Vampire Duke Sylvie and Archangel Ming were stunned to see the calmness within the eyes of their targets. They could even see the disdain that was obvious within the eyes of the Fallen hugging the Valkyrie.
The first one to speak was the Vampire Duke.
Sylvie said, “Humans, be grateful. The great Fallen God Lucien had come to invite this Fallen player to join our kin. I am the youngest duke of the Blood Race. A vassal of Fallen God Lucien himself. The name is Sylvie. I am here to bring you over to meet our great God.”
The Vampire Duke spoke with so much arrogance and was looking down on Chu Mo and Lan She. A surprising look appeared on Chu Mo’s face and pointed at the proud yet ignorant vampire duke in front of them.
Chu Mo asked, “You... What did you say your name was again?”
“I am the youngest Vampire...”
“Not that stupid title but your name alone.” suddenly cutting off the words of the vampire Chu Mo asked.
“It’s Sylvie.”
Chu Mo covered his forehead and laughed, “For real? How lucky that brat is~ Hahaha...”
Lan She ignored his laughing lover and moved his glance to the silent angel not far from him.
“How about you?” he asked.
“This one is the 8th Archangel of the Angel Race. My name is Ming Liang. Here to invite the War God to our legion.” said the angel with two pairs of white feathered wings. The number of his wings says his ranking and strength. Four winged angels are fourth-ranked angels. They are called Archangels.
Chu Mo commented, “Well~ is the newly enthroned king using a cheat or something?”
“He doesn’t need to cheat. He is already this world’s beloved holy son. They are willing to give away anything.” said Lan She as he pulled out a few mediums to create a defensive barrier.
Thought it would be easier if he or Chu Mo activated their domains as God to capture everyone but their mission is to keep these children safe and sound and help them achieve their goals and so they decided to prevent outside variables from getting involved with the fight of the children.
The sudden appearance of the array confused and surprised the players in the arena while those demigods and fake gods outside were all dumbfounded.
Players at the arena.
“Eh? Eh!? What is happening!?”
“Is this a barrier? Who made it?”
“I can’t get out!!! Fuck! Who the hell did this ?”
“No way. No. No. This is impossible! let us out!!!”
At the audience area...
“This is an array that could block an act of a Fake God like me. This is made by that War Angel!? Impossible!” said the leader of the Fallen Race. Fallen God Lucien.
Seraphim Xu had seen Lan Shes6actions and was delighted to see such a powerful War Angel. He had seen him make that defensive array on the spot. Only he could understand why this Valkyrie made such a move.
“Why did he make such a huge array that engulfs the whole arena and everything in it? Is he preventing us from getting involved?” murmured Seraphim Xu.
There are even other races with wilder reactions. The pureblood race of the Spirit all approached the barrier attacking it with elemental spells nonstop. They wanted to break the array and enter to kill those bastards that killed their descendants. Sadly, none of their attacks were effective yet they still continue to do so.
On the other hand, those who were inside the barrier were all looking above. They saw a vampire, a fallen and two angels talking to each other. They are familiar with the faces of Chu Mo and Lan She so they weren’t surprised to see them there but those who could be recognized the other two had stronger reactions. This is especially true for Qi Yun and Zane.
“That’s... Am I seeing this right!? Is that Sylvie!?” said Zane in shock.
Astonished in the same way, Qi Yun was slightly trembling as he looked at the angel talking to Lan She. He had missed this person for many years. No one knew how much he loved this person.
Qi Yun calls with delight, flashing his eyes, “B-Brother Liang?”
“Is it indeed Brother Liang!? He is really alive!” said Qi Lanyu.
Yu Suya spoke with a frown, “But it seems that he couldn’t recognize us. He had just glanced at Brother Yun but... He did not react to seeing him at all.”
Han Ya was checking the information of the two arrivals. He wanted to make sure they are the right people they’d been looking for.
“It is really them. Did Brother Chu and Brother Lan found them?” asked Han Ya.
An Yuan spoke, “No wonder it felt weird as their familiar presence is too close. I thought my intuition was getting weird. They are just right above our heads. If it wasn’t for Brother Lan activating such a huge array I wouldn’t notice them standing above our heads.”
“A Blood Race and an Angel race. Are they here to invite Brother Chu and Brother Lan to their Kin? So if they don’t agree they would be abducted?” said Han Ya.
The others who had overheard his words looked strange for a moment. Though Chu Mo and Lan She rarely show their strength and would always be overshadowed by Lord Hei and Lord God Ye, their strengths are still that of True Gods. Not an inexperienced one like Han Ya and An Yuan but a Real God who had lived a few hundreds of years.
Zane commented, “Kidnapped Big Bro? Even if all six of us work together we won’t even be able to leave a scratch on him. Plus Doctor Lan is beside him, getting them both is impossible.”
Zane looked at the players surrounding them and felt that they were all in the way.
“This arena is too crowded. Let’s clean up things faster as I have a feeling we would be fighting Sylvie and Qi Yun’s lover on our own,” said Zane.
Yu Suya said, “No wonder they’ve put up a barrier. To prevent the two of them from escaping.”
Archangel Ming who was just talking to Lan She descended and stood before the mermaid Qi Yun. The scene of an angel going down to earth to meet a mermaid is such a beautiful scene. Qi Yun and the rest were dazed as the beauty of an Archangel not only emits the presence of holiness and elegance but also a soothing aura that attracts all living beings.
This Archangel stood before Qi Yun. With the familiar face of his lover that he missed all these years, Qi Yun wanted to reach out and touch his lover’s indifferent face. With tears of happiness strolling down his face he reached out his hand for a hug.
A smiling Qi Yun said, “Brother Liang, you don’t know how much I miss...”
Everyone in the crowd gasped at the next scene they had witnessed, especially Qi Lanyu and Yu Suya who were standing beside Qi Yun at that very moment. They’ve witnessed the see of a sacred Archangel digging the heart of the gorgeous Mermaid King.
Qi Lanyu screamed, “AAAAHHHH!!! BIG BROTHER!!!”
Despite some droplets of blood falling on his holy facade, Archangel Ming remained emotionless and aloof at the death of the Mermaid King whose heart he had just dugout.
Archangel Ming spoke, “Player Lan She said he would accept the invitation if I meet you. But I think things would end better if you die right now. As long as the battle royal ends my mission would end as well. Don’t blame me for this, mortal.”
His voice was cold and his expressions were detached from the world. Even with the beating heart of his lover in his hands, he remained calm as if the one whom he killed is just no one in his life.
Qi Yun, before he fell into the darkness, had seen his lover’s indifferent face. It wasn’t the same smiling and loving one Ming Liang would always show in front of him.
.....
“Brother... A’Liang~” He closed his eyes waiting for his death. In the last moment of his life, he couldn’t believe he would die in the hands of the man he had loved the most in this world.
