Reaper of the Martial World

Book 12: Chapter 134: No Longer (1)

When the man met his fifth wife, she was personally sent to his territory under the escort of the several Immortal Gods. Only her abilities, a unique constitution birthed via unknown means.

Maybe somewhat ironically, she too had come to kill him. But, unlike his third wife, it was her true intention to do so.

Their love story was somewhat incredulous. Those who understood the personality of the Nameless Immortal God knew that forgiveness wasn’t something he gave out. Whether it was a child or the most beautiful woman in existence, he would kill them just the same. He was a cruel man without thoughts of morality and justice. The idea that one who came to be his enemy could come out as his wife was something that didn’t compute with the information known about him.

However, this woman was very clever. Her control of energy was unlike anything that had ever appeared in the immortal world. While she could control baleful energy, there were countless other types of emotion that were subject to her whims. Even the Nameless Immortal God fell under her spell.

It couldn’t be said that he was too weak. Rather, it was because his heart was in too much turmoil. If his wife was still alive, it could be said that it would be impossible for this fifth wife to affect. But, the reality was that he was distraught and lost, finally facing his own weakness for the first time in his life. There was something that he, who stood at the top of the world, had no ability to do.

This fifth woman took advantage of this moment to enter his heart, staying by his side for years looking for an opportunity to kill him.

But, what she realized after countless epochs was that he had long since broken out from beneath her spell. As for the reason he didn’t kill her…? It was because he could sense his seed within her. The Nameless Immortal God’s first child had been conceived.

Regardless of his true emotions, he felt happiness for the first time in a long time. It could even be said that what he fell in love with wasn’t the woman, but the child in her belly. But regardless of what led to this, he would of course protect her.

It was just unfortunate what happened next. Knowing the kind of mission she had been sent on, the hegemon of this woman took precautions. Unfortunately, one of these so-called precautions was a protection that tanked her fertility. It could already be said that her womb was barren. It was a miracle among miracles that a child had been conceived in the first place.

But… that child’s only destiny was death. Never to see the light of day.

Enraged and crying tears of blood, the Mind’s Eye Hegemon suffered his wrath. They were destroyed so thoroughly that they were the only ones among those who suffered his revenge that didn’t have an opportunity to enter the ancient battlefield. Their countless bubble worlds were shattered to dust, their every man, woman and child were eradicated, and their legacy ceased to be, as though erased from history.

The Nameless Immortal God’s fifth wife watched all of this without raising a finger. It was said that she simply silently followed his steps, grief in her eyes as she carried the doll she planned to be her daughter’s first gift. It seemed she was unaware that such restrictions had been placed on her. If only she knew… If only she could have told him… if only their child wasn’t dead…

The Nameless Immortal God’s fifth wife followed him to the day of her death. They silently accompanied each other, not speaking a word. It was said that she died without a sound, the doll she planned to give her daughter being buried along with her.

After her death, the Nameless Immortal God disappeared from the public eye once more. Maybe it was due to his daughter’s death, but he delved into the world of alchemy even more fiercely. After swearing to become the greatest alchemist, he had long since succeeded. But, he realized that even though he had become untouchable in this regard, it wasn’t enough.

It was said that it was during these years that he created array alchemy. However, in order to do so, he needed a comprehension that even he hadn’t grasped just yet. He needed to understand the core truths of the world, not by brute force and logic, but by instinct.

After years of vanishing from the world, and at a point many thought he had already died, he silently entered the Eostre Clan as a nameless youth. It was during that time the Eostre Clan, under the lead of their valiant Matriarch, broke free of the Elven Clan and became independent.

They suffered many attacks during those years, but under the shocked eyes of the immortal plane, they managed to survive every looming tragedy, something that caused their talented Matriarch’s status to untold heights.

However, it was only she herself who realized that something must have been wrong. Though she was confident in her own abilities, and even known for her own fair share of arrogance, she wasn’t a fool. Unfortunately, try as she might, she was unable to find out what the truth was.

It was said that it was during those years she fell in love with a nameless young man of her Clan…
