Chapter 1380 19.39 Second Red Star - Xia
The World Eater Fragment in its current form piqued Queen Titania's curiosity. Clearly, he thought he was the same guy from his memories. After all, the newborn universe creator was the same shape. Titania, his memories warping reality, believed the spherical creature before him to be the same as the one he had dreamed about.
He could never deny the emotions those memories evoked, even if he did not understand the true significance of them or think they came from previous lifetimes.
These two have a soul connection that dates back to the beginning of time. He is a portion of the God of Destruction, even if he is only a sliver of his soul. Because of the agony he is going through in this incarnation, his karma with those beings from his previous lifetimes cannot be easily severed. He is drawn to the spherical creature and wants to touch him because of this.
Hunluan, the God of Chaos, is the sole family of World Eaters, after all.
They can never hate someone since they are pieces of the World Eater, corrupt or not, as long as they are linked to Hunluan. Regardless of time or place, Hunluan views the World Eater as his other half and his loved one.
The Zerg Queen became enraged and scowled at the person restraining his hand when he noticed that someone had prevented him from clutching the spherical ball. However, he was taken aback upon seeing Mo Shizhe is face. Despite not having the exact same appearance as the God of Void, he shared a lot of the same qualities because they were both originally part of the World Eater.
Red, inhuman irises and downcast eyes. Including the appealing quality of being both sexy and manly. Even though this face lacks any trace of warmth or softness, others were hard-pressed to forget about him due to his seductive aura. Only this man and the God of Void shared features with the original World Eater in his humanoid form out of all the shards of the World Eater.
Queen Titania believed that the figure in his dream had materialized as a result. Regarding the God of Void, he is utilizing King Augustus's vessel and has not utilized his original qualities. Queen Titania finds it difficult to draw comparisons between him and the man in his visions, save from their same temperament and obsidian eyes that conceal crimson at their core.
The only difference between this man and the Zerg King is that his soul had some attraction to the soul in Augustus's body but not even a spark towards this man, who seems to have come out of his dream.
The current Mo Shizhe had no feelings towards the soul fragments of the God of Destruction, as only Hei Anjing possessed the trace of Hunluan's soul. These soul fragments are just pieces to keep Hunluan's incarnation alive, but they have no connection to him at all.
If not for the fact that the death of this soul fragment of Hei Anjing would have bad effects on Hunluan's incarnation, he wouldn't care much about him.
For Mo Shizhe (Tun Shizhe), Hei Anjing is Hunluan's incarnation. While for the current Queen Titania, Mo Shizhe is that man in his dreams, Xia.
"Y-you are... um, impossible. Eh? No." Queen Titania stumbled on his words and noticed the man looking at him with a disinterested look. "Is this a dream?"
Mo Shizhe glanced at the Zerg Queen with disdain. He let go of Titania's hand as if he had touched something unlikable. But before he could take away his hand, Queen Titania grabbed it and looked at him intently with disbelief yet happiness and yearning.
Zerg Queen Titania said, "You are Xia, aren't you? Wait, that round ball just now. Isn't that also your other form? How come you have a separate human form?"
However, the moment the sentient World Eater Fragment heard the name Xia, his expression completely transformed. Hei Anjing, Hunluan's Incarnation, is the only person in this planet who is aware of that name. Yet, this person is merely a shard of his soul. There are no signs of the God of Destruction being awake, no matter how he looks at this Queen Zerg.
Mo Shizhe said it with a cold voice and a frown on his face. "Let go." At this time, he ignored that he was called Xia, as he thought this little bug was calling the name of the God of Void and mistaken him for that man.
"Hah? Why?" The Zerg Queen said.
When Mo Shizhe saw that this odd soul was staring at him as if he knew him, he became extremely uneasy. However, that is not meant to be feasible. Hei Anjing was the only one with Hunluan's memories. He does not harbor any romantic sentiments for the Zerg Queen, even though she is his soul fragment. It reminds him of the first time he met that man, Chaos, and this odd distance.
"I told you to let go of my hand!"
Mo Shizhe was about to yank away his hand from Queen Titania's hold when suddenly he saw that persistent corrupted bastard trying to lunge an attack towards the Zerg Queen, intending to devour his qi.
[That corrupted one is trying to sneak attack!] System Yang, who came with Mo Shizhe, warned.
Upon hearing the warning from the Sun avatar system, Mo Shizhe had indeed sensed that corrupted piece targeting the Zerg Queen. He came here to prevent this brat from dying, so he couldn't watch it get harmed. He subconsciously pulled Queen Titania towards him and hugged him within his arms before once again kicking the round creature away.
"So persistent! How annoying!" Mo Shizhe complained.
The kicked-around monster shrieked in pain and anger.
"Damn you! If you aren't going to eat, give him to me! I'm so hungry!" The former Heretic Zerg King shouted.
Mo Shizhe said, "You are not allowed to eat him. This is Hunluan's Incarnation's soul fragment!"
"Hunluan? The God of Chaos, then he is more delicious! Give him to me!!"
"This is why the corrupted ones must be destroyed!" Mo Shizhe pushed Queen Titania away and fought with the corrupted piece of the World Eater.
Because they were both capable of devouring, the area around them was consumed by these two. Even the Zerg Queen was astounded by the sheer number of space tears that suddenly materialized nearby. He is not hurt, even though he is close to where these two insane creatures are fighting, because System Yang is protecting him.
Queen Titania saw a small sun floating around him and sensed a connection. Compared to how he feels with System Yue, it is far stronger.
Queen Titania stared at the little sun and asked, "Who are you? Why do you like being similar to Yue?"
System Yang responded, [Answering to the Master. I am Zhi Yang, the counterpart of Zhi Yue. I am your System, Master.] Enjoy more content from empire
"My system? Isn't Yue my system?" Queen Titania asked as he recalled some memories where Zhi Yue acted as his system when he went world-hopping.
System Yang responded, [Yue'er is the God of Void's System, but he used to be your System when I was away for another reason. You've spent time together and he is quite attached to the Master.]
"So he had been that silly before?" Queen Titania asked.
[Yes, Yue'er had always been like that!]
Pfft!
Such a response made the Zerg Queen laugh; he didn't expect that the partner of that silly moon is quite haughty, even though he seems to be a bit too serious and quiet.
System Yang didn't mind the Zerg Queen laughing at him and instead asked, [Master, can I ask why you call the man who came with me 'Xia'? Do you know who he is?]
"Um? Isn't he a World Eater Fragment? Isn't the name of Tun Shizhe Xia? That's what the memories in my dreams showed me?" The Zerg Queen said. The answer itself left System Yang speechless, as if he heard something he wasn't supposed to hear.
System Yang's thoughts had gone haywire. [The real name of the World Eater is also Xia!? The God of Void is also named Xia. Is this a coincidence? Is Lord Ye truly just a mere fragment of the World Eater? Lord Hei is also said to be the Incarnation of the God of Chaos, but Lord Shizhe only acknowledges Lord Hei as the God of Chaos.
Which one is real and which is false?]
They had no idea that Mo Shizhe would be listening in on the system and Zerg Queen's chat and learning that Queen Titania was aware of his true identity. His expression black, he materialized in front of the two and abruptly reached out to touch Titania Ambrosia. Mo Shizhe effortlessly broke through System Yang's barrier by grabbing the Zerg Queen by the neck.
Choke!
This action shocked everyone in the area. The two wardens and System Yue even flew out of the Hive, trying to stop this man from hurting Queen Titania.
Zhi Yue shouted, "What the hell are you doing?! Let go of the Queen!!"
With a wave of Mo Shizhe's hand, System Yang was thrown at Zhi Yue, making him panic as he caught his other half.
Zhi Yue was stunned. "A'Yang, why are you with him?"
System Yang answered, [I was captured.]
The two wardens went for Mo Shizhe in an attempt to save Queen Titania, but they were nearly helpless against someone who could eat practically everything. Their souls were being wounded by the breaking of their natural weapons.
Cough!
Marquess Conrad stopped his lover from attacking him. "Ming'er, leave the rest to me."
"What do you plan to do? Elemental attacks aren't effective against him!" Colonel Cyril stated.
Mo Shizhe became enraged and used his aura of purple black to bound all those annoying people around him. We had caught both systems, two wardens, and one fragment of the world-eating machine. Their powers were gradually being depleted, and they felt immobilized. This tie was sufficient to catch them all, even if Mo Shizhe had no intention of killing them.
At last, his eyes settled on the Zerg Queen he was holding. He was strangled by his neck, and Queen Titania did everything she could to get away. However, his Eternal Ice caused frostbite on the guy, who did not show any emotion.
Mo Shizhe said, "I want to ask you... Who told you that my name is Xia? Did that bastard (Ye Xiajie) tell you? No, even he didn't know about that name. Answer me!"
The grip in Queen Titania's neck tightens at every word Mo Shizhe says, as he can hardly control his emotions. For him to lose his patience over this shows that this name is extremely important to him.
"Ack! D-Dream. My memories... in my dreams," Queen Titania answered.
'I can't... hold on anymore... I'm about to... faint.'
Mo Shizhe didn't expect this kind of answer and forgot to let go of Queen Titania's neck. The latter was losing his breath and was about to lose consciousness due to a lack of air.
System Yang shouted, [Please let go of the Zerg Queen. He can no longer hold on!]
Mo Shizhe is fury gradually subsides and he fixes his attention on Queen Titania, as though System Yang's voice had roused him from his reverie. The depths of those silver eyes right now are a shade of gray. Mo Shizhe will always remember this as the color of chaos. He released his hold on Queen Titania's neck. He was going to catch the individual when someone gave him a vicious kick to the stomach.
Argh!
Mo Shizhe was caught off guard and was unable to defend himself, allowing the force of this vicious kick to break several of his ribs. Raising his head, he saw King Augustus, his purplish-crimson irises filled with indifference and wrath, as though he were staring at him lifelessly.
Mo Shizhe gasped, sensing King Augustus was radiating a strong aura of greed. It has far greater power than he has. In addition, there are some ominous components in the mixture. With that much capacity to eat, he would have gone insane like the original World Eater did, if not for the Dark Elements that turned this person's heart into a frigid one.
Looking at Queen Titania's neck, which is now bruised and has purplish marks from someone is hand grasp, King Augustus is fixated. Silently in reverence, he tenderly brought him away in his hug. A faint golden glow soothed Queen Titania's neck injuries with a gentle touch. Then he bided his time until the one in his grasp before him awoke.
"Mine, my beloved, and mine alone." He whispered within his eyes a madness that had never appeared before.
