News: Good news for those who never return.
Ye Jiang: "."
She raised her hand and punched the head of the monster boss in her boundless imagination. The force was a bit too much, and the monster boss cried out "Ah!" and collapsed to the ground with his eyes closed.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother, are you dead? Don't die!"
The second and third monsters pounced on them, crying out in grief.
Ye Jiang: "..."
"Noisy." She uttered a single word, and the two monsters immediately fell silent. The leader of the monsters slowly awoke, jumped up, and persistently asked Ye Jiang, "Do you want to? Do you want to destroy the world?"
He said, "If you want to destroy the world, we can become your loyal henchmen and flatten it for you..."
Ye Jiang raised her hand.
The monster shut its mouth, tightly.
Ye Jiang felt that these three little monsters might have some mental issues; they were indeed wise, but with a kind of intellectual disability, something she hadn't noticed at first.
She caught sight of the toys coming this way out of the corner of her eye, then turned and left. The three little monsters followed her, probably realizing she was no longer interested in destroying the world. They then asked her if she wanted to build a nest in the building, saying that this building was not bad, as destroying the world was not easy, and there was a Slaughter God guarding the outside, so it was probably impossible to destroy the world.
Ye Jiang listened to their chatter and kept hearing one word, so she asked, "Slaughter God?"
Upon hearing this, the three monsters suddenly flew into a rage.
"You should have heard of him, the Slaughter God! The one who slaughtered his way through the Inner World three hundred years ago!"
Three hundred years ago, humanity in the Surface World experienced a Disaster Day nearly led to extinction, and the Inner World was also in turmoil, with monsters slaughtering each other out of control, until a great monster appeared out of nowhere and devoured all the out-of-control monsters, and only under its deterrence did things slowly return to normal.
But the monsters were not angry because of what the Slaughter God did in the Inner World, but because he dealt with them in the Surface World, preventing them from destroying the world and treating them as free laborers.
"That person has also come to the Surface World; he asked us to help him find someone!"
This is just... just so incredibly boring!
But they dared not resist.
The three monster brothers had long suffered from the intimidation of the Slaughter God. Recently, they stepped into a mysterious door and entered this strange shopping mall. Upon entering, they found that it was actually a good place. The energy was abundant, and it was too comfortable to absorb energy with their true forms exposed. Moreover, there was no Slaughter God around. So they occupied an entire floor and built a nest, wanting to take a vacation here.
"That Slaughter God is too much! We just wanted to destroy the world, why is he so protective of humanity?" the three monster brothers cried, describing the Slaughter God as evil and cruel. Ye Jiang ignored their complaints, thinking about the Slaughter God himself. The little monsters assumed she knew about this so-called Slaughter God, as if he had a great reputation, but she had no memory of him. She casually asked, "Who did he tell you to find?"
The monster pointed upwards. Ye Jiang looked up but saw nothing. Seeing her reaction, the monster lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "He wants us to find the vanished Sky."
"?"
The vanished... Sky?
The monsters, oblivious to Ye Jiang's confusion, continued chattering amongst themselves, heads close together.
"That Slaughter God has gone mad. Does he think the vanished Sky has disappeared into the Surface World?"
"He was a madman to begin with, otherwise he wouldn't have killed so many monsters."
"Really..."
"Why did he want to find the Sky?"
Ye Jiang: "..."
At the same time, outside the gate, in City A.
Thud! Thud! Smash!
In an ordinary apartment room, a teenager is battling a pink octopus monster. The two are fighting so hard that furniture is flying everywhere and creating a lot of noise.
But no one knocked on the wall to stop them.
It existed before.
A bit boring.
The boy and the octopus exchanged a glance and simultaneously withdrew their attacks. They climbed through the window to the next room, only to find it empty; the person they were waiting for was not there.
Since someone wasn't there, the fight for room occupancy became a bit pointless.
The boy and the octopus hung outside the window, gazing at the tall gate in the distance.
"Ah, my sister went inside with the Ability Control Bureau." The boy sighed, resting his chin on his hand. "How boring~~~"
The octopus remained silent, its ring of eyes fixed on the distant door. Suddenly, without a sound, it vanished. The boy followed, guessing her intention. "Are you going inside the door?"
The octopus grunted and only focused on increasing its speed.
The boy sped up, saying, "I knew you wanted to come in, don't try to fight me!"
The octopus accelerated, and the boy followed suit... The two monsters began to race in the air.
Upon arriving at the southern city, the grand gate was right before their eyes. The two monsters moved with lightning speed, and the members of the Ability Control Bureau stationed around the gate couldn't even see them with their naked eyes. Just as it seemed that the outcome was about to be determined, at the critical moment, a black hole suddenly appeared in front of them. They were startled and stopped abruptly.
This is...!
Shi Li and Dong Zhen were shocked. A tall, slender figure walked past them, ignoring them, and headed towards the door. Then, the figure disappeared into the doorway, leaving only a wisp of pine resin. Then, the black hole vanished.
Shi Li and Dong Zhen didn't rush towards the door anymore. They stood frozen in place, and after a long while, they looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
That iconic black hole with its devouring power—no doubt, that young man was...
That madman who was famous in the Monster Realm three hundred years ago.
The members of the Ability Control Bureau only then realized something was wrong. Someone had broken in and they shouted at them to come forward. Shi Li and Dong Zhen frowned, glanced at the tall gate that had swallowed the young man, hesitated for a moment, and left before the Ability Control Bureau arrived.
Because of the black hole that blocked their way, they gave up on entering.
Chapter 115: Good news delivered to those who will never return.
Inside the door, on the second floor of the Toy Mall.
The monsters chattered and gossiped about the Slaughter God's madness and Slaughter God reasons for searching for the Sky.
"It must be because of boredom. Going crazy is because of boredom. Like me, those decades I spent guarding the mountain alone, I was so bored I wanted to explode! Boredom is a terrifying thing. To relieve boredom, he started searching for the lost Sky."
"I think he might be a fanatic of the Sky. He only went mad after the Sky disappeared, to the point that he did something insane like washing the Inner World with blood. You know, the Sky has never lacked fanatics, but none have ever been as fanatical as him!"
"Oh ho, that's certainly possible. I forgot there have always been many believers in the Sky!"
Why do you think the Sky disappeared?
"Shh, we can discuss the Slaughter God of Slaughter God as we please, but is the Sky something we can just talk about? Are you out of your mind?"
Ye Jiang listened quietly, not finding the monsters' gossip at all.
Slaughter God.
The vanished Sky.
She couldn't understand.
But I'm inexplicably bothered by it.
"The vanished Sky..." she interjected, "What is it?"
The three monsters stopped and looked at her, their three young faces of different ages showing the same surprise. "You don't know?"
Ye Jiang lowered her eyes. "Should I know?"
The monsters shouted in unison, "It is that supreme being!"
Ye Jiang tilted her head, puzzled. A supreme... being?
Seeing this, the three monster brothers were dumbfounded. Were there really monsters who didn't know the Sky of the Monster Realm?
Ye Jiang felt like she was being treated like a freak. She pursed her lips. The three brothers tried to explain, but they didn't know where to begin. Talking about that person was too taboo. Listening to their stammering explanations, Ye Jiang became even more confused. She frowned slightly and gave up asking. She changed the subject. "Are you good at finding people and things?"
"Huh?" The topic changed so quickly that the three brothers couldn't react.
Ye Jiang asked again, then asked them, "Can you help me find someone?"
"Is that right?"
The Bureau of the Ability Control Bureau's exploration team had been scattered somewhere, and Yu Hai's primary task was to find all the team members. Ye Jiang followed his instructions, and since that was the case, outsourcing this task seemed like a very good choice.
The above is the inspiration Ye Jiang got after hearing the gossip about the three monster brothers.
Need their help to find someone?
Upon hearing the request, the three monster brothers blurted out, "Who are you looking for?"
Only after saying that did they realize how incredibly easy their actions were. They were clearly monsters, the strongest fighting force in the Surface World, how could they act so cheaply?!
The monster leader quickly intervened, saying, "Of course not, we don't work for free!"
The monsters must defend their own pride!
The third monster continued, "But if you have the strength of Slaughter God, that's a different story."
As soon as he finished speaking, the monster leader slapped him on the forehead and scolded, "Idiot, you didn't have to say that!"
The third monster scratched his forehead, looking aggrieved. "Anyway, she couldn't possibly have one."
"You shouldn't have said that!" the monster leader scolded him. This idiot, how could he reveal that they had submitted to the power of another monster when they were trying to show their dignity!
Why not?
You're an idiot, an idiot!
Ye Jiang: "..."
She said expressionlessly, "I really didn't."
She was already aware of the Slaughter God's reputation; a monster who stirred up storms—she probably didn't possess that kind of raw power.
She still doesn't know what level of monster she is, or even what her special ability is. Perhaps the name of her special ability in the Blood Moon System is her actual ability, but now even that name is hidden.
The Blood Moon of the human world seemed to favor her inexplicably, granting her the Blood Moon System, which only humans possess, and a special ability— Domination. However, she had no interest in studying it and didn't know how much use it could have.
In conclusion, in terms of strength, she is probably no match for that so-called "Slaughter God".
Does that mean we can't get the monsters to help us?
Ye Jiang's eyes darkened. She felt that this prerequisite was unreasonable. Shouldn't she be able to command the monsters just because she could defeat them? Why compare her to that so-called Slaughter God? She wasn't asking the Slaughter God to find people for her. Ye Jiang, who was not good at thinking, was unusually logical for once. Just as she was about to point this out, the second monster suddenly spoke up, saying, "We can help even if you don't have the strength of the Slaughter God."
