I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot [BL]

Chapter 1069: 16.115 First Red Star – Are you lost?

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Netherworld’s Prison Palace…

The four who escaped from the throne room were greeted by the sight of the Netherworld’s eternal evening. They looked out the windows and saw a scene straight out of hell. A red landscape, lava, the odor of blood, and wailings that echoes throughout the area. Figures exist in their soul form. Humanoid forms, beast forms, and more. There are many of them chained outside and being punished with burning, boiling, grilling, even a thousand cuts, and other forms of torture.

The four turned pale at such a depressing sight. They couldn’t understand why they had been taken to such a horrible place. The issue was that they couldn’t see a way out. They can see nothing but endless red earth and black sky beyond the horizon. They are not used to the blue sky and green land. Carnelian Dawn’s body shook instinctively as he was terrified. Conri Lycaon, who was holding his hands, could sense his trembling.

“What is… this place? What are those souls? Those punishments and their wails and their resurrection only to suffer the same pain over and over again. Don’t tell me… are we in… hell?”

“A’Lian. Take a deep breath. Breathe along with me… Have you calmed down? Don’t worry I will be with you. Don’t be afraid.” Conri Lycaon said.

In the meantime, Mayonaka Yoru and Esther Dawn noticed something strange. They were especially interested in the men dressed in pure black robes with semi-armor on their bodies. There’s also that massive cloak that completely conceals their faces and heads.

After suffering from the fire on that red earth, these men in black robes were not in pain. They appeared to be unaffected.

Each of these men held the other end of the chain, which was wrapped around those wailing and shouting soul figures. Some of them were dragging those guys mercilessly and didn’t care if those soul figures were in pain.

Mayonaka Yoru mumbles, “Black robes, armor, and cloak. Dragging chains, soul figures, and then punishment. Are these guys…?”

“Warden and Prisoners. We might really be in hell.” Esther Dawn stated. “But this is a place Lord Ye had thrown us into… Those two… The one who used Randall Ruid and Luther D’Arcy’s appearances. Don’t they also wear the same black robe?”

Mayonaka Yoru added, “Though theirs is more detailed. One with red linings and the other is silver linings. They might be wardens but with higher standing than those who are outside.”

“Brother, are we… Are we going to get punished like that? Pull out our souls in our bodies and be chained in such a place.” Carnelian Dawn asked.

Conri Lycaon answered his questions, “That might not be true, A’Lian. After all, when we first arrived at that throne room those two (Warden Lou and Warden Yun) were no longer around. They didn’t stay with us to be treated as prisoners. Instead, they ask us to register names. Maybe we would have understood everything if we didn’t leave the throne room.”

“Moreover, look around. The interior of this Palace is completely different from the outside. None in this hallway looks cheap. The thick carpets laid on the floor. Walls made of black marble or jade. Lamps that look different from what they knew but obviously made of a material with a silver glow. I don’t recognize some materials to make it but… I’m sure everything in this hallway is costly.” Mayonaka Yoru said.

Esther Dawn said, “Moreover there aren’t any guards. Such a luxurious palace yet there is no one who guards it means that the one who lives in this place is someone extremely strong and feared that they didn’t dare to cause uproar in his territory. Remember who brought us to that Throne Room.”

Conri Lycaon and Carnelian Dawn realized what Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru’s words mean. They were brought here as guests instead of prisoners like those sinners outside the palace.

Carnelian Dawn said, “Then… should we go back?”

“I don’t think that’s possible. The moment we left the throne room. The door disappears. I don’t know if we entered a door of teleportation or if that door leads to different kinds of exits.” Conri Lycaon said. “What do you think, brothers?”

Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru said at the same time, “The second one.”

Bewildered, Carnelian Dawn asked, “Why do you think so?”

“Those two men who were waiting for us in the Throne Room. He felt similar to Lord Keylan but a lot more powerful so they must be Gods. Same with those two young men who treated Lord Keylan. They must be Gods. If we add the other two who used to be Randall Ruid and Luther D’Arcy, all of them must be Gods. That means we are in a world where there are only Gods. So a door can become a teleportation device if it needs to function as such. Gods use Teleportation as a medium of transportation.” Esther Dawn explains.

While the four of them were talking to each other they didn’t notice the other presences that appeared in the area. A hand grabbed the sleeves of Mayonaka Yoru and Esther Dawn then a soft yet small voice was heard asking.

“Bwig Bwothers, who are yhou?”

Esther Dawn and the rest were all caught off guard and were shocked as they turned around to look at the owner of the voice.

A few hours before Ye Xiajie transferred the whole world to the void and transferred the original residents to the Nether System…

After Cao Xinsheng certified that Ye Qinjing is indeed the first adopted son of Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie, Ye Qinjing and Lao Yong moved in with the Mo Family. Hei Anjing’s snowflake imprint on the child’s body was unmistakable proof of his identity. Adopted children are no different than biological children in God’s eyes. After all, it is extremely difficult for Gods like them to have children, and all children, especially those with whom they have intentionally created Karma, are extremely valuable to them.

The Ye, Mo, and Hei Clans are overjoyed with Ye Qinjing’s arrival. Ye Qinjing, the child, requested that he live with his siblings in the Mo Palace, and Lao Yong was hired as his personal servant or bodyguard. His knowledge of Vearth and the world grew significantly after being taught by his grandparents, uncles, and aunt. He also knew that his parents had left for their trial and would return here once they had completed the world. He also discovered that the identity of his adoptive parents was just as important as the identity of his Granduncles. They were Sovereigns at the pinnacle of power, ruling over the Netherworld, Nether System, and the Nether Prison, which even Immortals feared.

Ye Jingxia and the twins welcomed them as elder brothers. Their parents are rarely present, and their uncles, granduncles, and grandaunt are constantly on the go. They are only allowed to play with their grandparents. But these couples did it on occasion.

No… When Grandparents are with their lovers, they frequently forget about the brats. They concentrate on flirting and leave the three young children in the care of Ye Qinjing and Lao Yong.

Today is another day for the kids to have fun. It was just a coincidence that Xun Yong and the four children had come to the Nether System to play with Grandpa Hei and their cousin sister, the daughter of Hei Jue and An Liang. It also happened to be the time when Ye Xiajie returned to Vearth after pulling a world into the void. Though he hasn’t informed their families of their return to Vearth, it won’t be long before the rest of the family learns when Warden Lou visits the God System and relays his Lord’s message to Sovereign Ruler Shen Siwang.

The Nether System is in charge of the Nether Prison. In addition, An Liang and the others work in a palace in the Netherworld. When Ye Jingxia and the twins wanted to play with their big sister, they would drag their eldest brother, Ye Qinjing, along with them to the Nether Palace. Of course, Xun Yong was there to accompany them. Xun Yong was also a registered Executioner for both systems, but he only worked when given orders. He would remain in Vearth unless summoned to perform his duties as an Executioner. Ye Qinjing also sometimes helps An Liang with some tasks in the Nether System. The Netherworld lacks staff after all.

The twins ran and flew through the corridors while being pursued by Ye Jingxia and Ye Qinjing. They were frequent visitors who knew almost everyone who came to the palace, including all of the wardens who worked in the Nether Prison. They remember all of them, so when the twins saw new faces, they would grab them right away. Esther Dawn and Mayonaka Yoru, who were the closest to them, were grabbed by the twins.

“Bwig Bwothers, who are yhou?”

“Ar yu yost?”

The twins enquired about the four-person group. Conri Lycaon and the others were taken aback when they were caught off guard. They were even aware of the babies’ presence or approach. But they weren’t bad enough to harm babies, even if it put them in danger.

Carnelian Dawn sat down to get closer to the baby girl, Ye Anxia’s eye level, and spoke gently, “We are guests maybe? We don’t know how we got here. When we opened the door to the throne room, this hallway suddenly appeared.”

“Liar. You obviously escaped. The door to the Throne Room would lead directly outside the Palace if you left with permission.” Ye Jingmo, the flying baby boy said.

The four couldn’t help but smile wryly as they realized that even a baby could see through their actions and felt a little embarrassed about it. Meanwhile, Esther Dawn noticed that these two babies looked familiar. Their features may be immature due to their age, but they truly resemble someone who is both handsome and dangerous looking.

Esther Dawn whispered to his lover, “Yoru, don’t you think this twin looks a bit like Lord Skoll in his real form? Especially that obsidian-colored hair and eyes this twin possessed.”

The other two also heard the words of their elder brother and stared at the two babies more seriously.

Carnelian Dawn said, “They really look alike but those silver eyes remind me of Headmaster Cassius Ambrosia instead.”

“Maybe… These twins are their children. This place is that person’s territory after all.” Conri Lycaon said. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ

Carnelian Dawn added, “Should we ask them the way back to the Throne Room?”

“It wouldn’t hurt to ask. We are lost after all.” Conri Lycaon said.

They were about to ask the twins the direction towards the throne room when suddenly a boy that looked like he was in grade school arrived calling names.

“Momo, An’er, don’t run around anymore!” It was Ye Jingxia followed by Ye Qinjing and Xun Yong.

Mayonaka Yoru and Conri Lycaon instinctively placed their lovers behind them when they saw two adults approaching them. If these men were here to capture them, they would not harm their lovers. But Ye Qinjing and Xun Yong only gave them a passing glance before returning their attention to the three children.

“Bwother Jingjing! Big Bwother Qin! Gwandpa Yong!” Ye Anxia and Ye Jingmo call as they run and fly back to their elder brothers.

Ye Qinjing said, “Be careful, okay? If you accidentally fell in some space wrap here you might get lost. No more running or flying around anymore.”

“Yesh~”

The eldest among the group of new arrivals, Xun Yong spoke out to the guys before them and asked,

“Why are there mortals in the Netherworld?” Xun Yong asked.
