CHAPTER 95: CHAPTER 93: THE GENTLE DESTRUCTION

Bang!

Bang bang!

Sword clash.

After a few collisions, Aurora used the momentum of the opponent’s swing to fly backward.

Without her legs, she spun agilely, spraying spider silk to cling to the wall.

"What exactly are you trying to achieve??"

A consciousness wave emitted from within Aurora, looking down at the monster below:

"Power, status, wealth, wisdom, I can offer them all to you! The Abyss can even accommodate the existence of two emperors. Our fighting is meaningless and will only harm the Abyss, and you will gain nothing."

Boom!

The next moment, two longswords fiercely collided.

"Heh... Even if we both perish, so what? What I want from you is neither wealth nor power, much less the truth you pursue, which you cannot give me."

Tukashi suddenly sneered, no longer speaking, as he gazed at the girl before him, severed at the waist with blood gushing out, suddenly recalling the child similarly cut in half in the dark alley that day.

...

...

Time reverted to before, at the shop selling wizard materials.

Tap tap tap.

The guests coming and going each deliberately crushed the soft and sticky doormat with their feet as they passed the entrance.

"So disgusting."

"Boss, how long has it been since you washed this doormat."

"What are you talking about? Our guild loves cleanliness the most, feel free to step on it. It feeds on the dirt from your feet."

"Hahaha, then I’ll feed it full with my feet!"

Tukashi just kept watching, watching the passerby above him.

"What’s your name?" A half-dragon child in dark scales approached the entrance, curiously squatting down.

"Child, don’t hold it, it’s too dirty." The store owner pulled the child.

"I’m very dirty, keep your distance from me." The voice from the slime doormat was weak and weary.

"But I feel, Mr. Slime, you have a very gentle nature. Being trampled in such a way would surely drive most mad, yet you intentionally keep away from me, afraid of dirtying me. Gentle souls attract one another."

What a strange fellow, who ever calls themselves gentle? And so, the child returned daily without fail to confide.

"Mr. Slime, don’t blame them, there’s something wrong with this Abyss."

"When this Abyss Era was born, the Elf Race that opened the World Tunnel came here and cast the most vicious curse on us, causing intermittent agony in the Creator Gods’ brains—the violent tendencies, mania, leading the Gods to enjoy bullying the weak, need to vent their emotions, and the Gods’ influence thereafter falls upon the earthly beings."

"The abuse by the Abyss Species has no purpose, they simply wish to do so."

"The Abyss Demons merely wish to witness others’ suffering, observe the world burn in Despair."

"They can watch slimes painfully consume excrement for amusement, wizards enjoy granting intelligence to ingredients, listening to their squeals when eaten."

"For this, I apologize."

Tukashi said nothing, nor did he respond.

Because its life could no longer sound out, the moment it was taken by a slave ship, there was no future left.

But fortunately, this child was a noble half-dragon, as one of the once three major species now the strongest, no one dared to harm it, at least it was blessed.

Until that day, in the dark alley.

"Hahaha, cutting this half-dragon child makes the blood bloom so beautifully."

"I love red, love the sensation of blood flowers blooming!"

"The security squad is coming, they’ve recently started listing us as murderers."

"Let’s remodel this slime, have it devour the blood and bones, eliminate traces. After all, they are responsible for cleaning up garbage."

I once shouted and gave my all, watching the tragedy unfold in the alley wanting to stop everything, but could do nothing.

I once devoured the corpses of my beloved, drank my close friend’s warm blood, becoming its graveyard.

From that day onward, I became the red slime.

I thought fate was just wandering, blurry until death. After being remodeled to digest blood and flesh as the blood-red slime, I began secretly attacking the abusers, killing more...killing more...letting the body turn redder...but that day, I met the one ordained by fate, who granted my dim and feeble life a grand gift, that mysterious being, gently touching me with its finger.

I gained my future.

...

"Whatever you desire, I can give it to you!"

Elis spoke coolly; in her view, this war was meaningless. She did not believe she would lose, but assuredly both would end gravely injured.

"Can you reverse the past?" Tukashi spoke.

"Are you insane?" Elis frowned.

"Wealth, power, influence, wisdom are not my goals."

"Slaughter isn’t about having a target, I just simply want to do it."

He waved the longsword, speaking eloquently: "Just like your reason for slaughtering slimes, I just want to see others in pain, to see this world burning in despair."

Elis felt both angry and shocked.

She dared to meet the Ancient Gods upon ascension, desecrating them, already mad enough, but for the first time met someone even more insane and unreasonable than herself.

"You’re a complete madman!" Elis shouted in anger.

"No, your madness is selfishness, my madness is gentleness for all living beings."

Tukashi just smiled, disdainfully said: "I want to kill all life in the Abyss, including the Slime Race, to become a graveyard for the entire Abyss."

"I kill to save all living beings."

Elis for the first time met a split-personality lunatic, speaking lovingly about killing all living beings in the world, perhaps he had already gone insane.

"The living beings of the land are filthy now, born violent, I will eradicate them, absorb all the violence and frenzied blood of the Abyss Species into a coffin."

"I will carry the sin of violence for the entire Abyss, then reshape the world, create a batch of new life forms with sound minds, and propagate a new generation."

That voice suddenly echoed throughout the Abyss, penetrating beyond the Crystal Wall.

"At that time, the land will be inhabited by beings not driven to violence by constant brain pain."

"At that time, the newly born people will embrace each other, pointing at the Ancient Coffin on the wall, and shout to me, the Demon God in the sleeping coffin holding the Holy Sword: We are free, everything is free."

"At that time, the Abyss will rise as a Holy Hall."

He held the Crystal Holy Sword, pointing high at the Fairy in the sky, "Tukashi Holy Sword, deeply loves this Abyss, loves this land, to kill the entire Abyss, that is my destiny."

Elis listened to this lunatic, feeling a chill.

She didn’t care about what goals the other party had, even was too lazy to bother about the so-called violent nature of the Abyss Species.

In her eyes, the entire Abyss was just a useful tool.

But this person’s actions of world annihilation certainly went against her dreams.

She would lose a driving force to climb to the peak.

"He’s gone mad!"

"What nonsense is he talking about? And he wants to kill us all???"

"He’s a butcher!"

"He’s a traitor, definitely a traitor!!"

"Indeed, he’s possessed by an Outer God from the Chaos, intending to destroy all of us."

All the Abyssal Gods below were also stunned.

Originally they thought survival was crucial, not needing to go all out, as Talus had done before, but now they knew if they didn’t fight desperately, they would surely die.

Because this time, it wasn’t about seizing the throne of the Abyss, it’s a complete madman disregarding any benefits!

His world annihilation wasn’t just words.

Boom!

"Your Majesty, I come to aid you!"

"Damn it, such a villain has been bewitched by the mad whispers of the Outer God in that Crystal Coffin from the Chaos!"

"We’ll hold it off! You pick up your lower half and recover!"

"Yes, this way, Your Majesty still has a weapon, although not the Thunder Hand, but you still have a fighting chance."

At this moment, all the bottom-line cards of various Abyssal Gods were revealed, attacking the entire Crystal Coffin, but hardly causing any damage.

Wow~~

In the Abyss, countless Gods riding flying mounts rose from the sea surface.

Even some Wizard Towers rose from the ground, and some Mythical Creatures in the Abyss began to manifest as gigantic shadows.

Boom!

The whole Abyss entered into a terrifying and tragic war.

Two colossal life forms, countless flying dragons, armies attacking, majestic as scenes from mythological epics.

The whole world plunged into earth-shattering turmoil.

....

"History progresses, time passes."

Li Qing sat on the deck chair at home, quietly watching the serene garden under the sun through the window, with autumn wind swirling and leaves scattered on the ground.

"The living beings of the land have built the Giant God once again, another god-slaying period of the Tower of Babel..."

He appeared peaceful, couldn’t help but let out a laugh, feeling uninterested.

The lab in the room isn’t something you can just come in and out as you please...

To break through the window and exit the mental asylum of this dean?

A small chess piece, this coffin snail is enough for me to delay time, to construct a new type of Crystal Wall... Such patricidal individuals, better stay inside for treatment obediently.
