Chapter 1855: 24.116 Sixth Violet Star - Chaos in the City
Without caring for the situation outside of his home, Pei Jin ignores all accusations and focuses only on hatching his beast egg. Among all his subordinates the only one that was spared from becoming a sacrifice is none other than Shadow. Moreover, the only reason he is spared was because the Evil Beast Egg had spoken to get him spared.
Pei Jin no longer hid his desires and personality. While the masses are busy watching the so-called press conference prosecuting him for the sins he secretly committed in these years. He ordered Shadows to take a few more humans in the city to feed his beast egg. He controlled the dead beasts under his command causing chaos in the whole city.
Leaning at his huge, black beast egg covered in blood, Pei Jin sat as if seated on a throne informing him Shadow is the only living being as for the hundreds of beings behind him, they are undead created from the power of his unhatched beast egg. What made it worse is that some of these undead have intelligence no different from a living. The only difference is that they loathe all living beings not under the command of their master and wish to kill and devour all the living beings in existence.
Pei Jin asked, "There is no time to waste. That detestable Long Clan wouldn’t be able to move right away to save the city. Cause chaos the bigger it is the better. Eat as you will and open the path to the Barren Lands."
"According to Shadow the territories of the Beast Kings are liveable. We can choose all their land as our territory."
"Master, there is also the Core Region. However, I didn’t go there as the Old Marshal and his group also didn’t step in. They said even the Beast Kings don’t go in there," Shadow said.
Pei Jin sounds interested in the Core Region of the Barren Land.
He said, "Core Region. Center of the Barren Land. Isn’t that a perfect place to create my kingdom?"
However, this plan wasn’t approved by his beast egg who is slowly hatching behind him.
{Not the Core Region. I recognize the power in there. If it was indeed him who I know was staying at that place, it’s not possible for us to take over that place.}
"Who is this ’him’ you are talking about, Ouroboros?" asked Pei Jin.
{You should have known your world is just a mere speck of dust within a universe and universes are just a part of a single cosmos. My main body is from beyond this cosmos. I am not of this world.}
{Every Cosmos had a pair of Guardians. You’re Cosmos also has two but one has perished and the one standing alone as the Guardian is the strongest enemy who couldn’t defeat after all these eons. I am a mere servant of the subordinate of a Cosmos Lord and also have seen your cosmos guardian once.}
{I’ve seen your guardian once even though I haven’t seen his face. I will never forget that pair of eyes.}
{As if countless silver universes converge, glittery like a glowing argent light. But at the depths of that gorgeous sight is a controlled purple madness that is even worse than our cruelty.}
{He kills all that dares to enter his domain and uses our corpses to nourish his flowers. Even if we kill him many times he cannot die at all. My master said, this guardian’s life is cut off from time and space. His existence itself is aberrant.}
{His duty is to guard this cosmos but even if this cosmos perishes he will still exist. That is everything that is existing to perish only then he will not exist.}
"Doesn’t that exist then? Just kill everyone in this cosmos including myself, then the guardian will be gone," said the madman, Pei Jin. All he wants is destruction if he must die for it he is more than willing to do so.
{When I said all existence, this not only includes the one in your cosmos but everything that exists as whole.}
{His existence is a rule itself. One of the foundations that creates whatever everything entails. The most natural existence and the only existence.}
{Once all had perished then he shall be the one. But if he is the one who exists, there will always be all of us.}
Pei Jin asked, "Does that mean he can’t die?"
{He can die many times and revive as soon as he dies. He is an immortal in the true sense.}
Pei Jim asked, "Then if he is guardian, how can he appear here?"
{All divinity will leave a piece of their soul. It might be one or a thousand or even a million. However, only he remains unparalleled, a flawless existence. So much that even a mere clone of him stood as a peak anywhere he goes.}
{I can feel a familiar aura from the Core Region and the Ancient forest, for now do not touch those places until I hatched and matured. If I don’t get to mature, taking you away from this world might be impossible.}
Pei Jin said, "Alright then. How long till you hatch completely?"
{Half a day. As long as you are in the mansion, unless its a god no one can harm you so do as you wish.}
Upon getting the backing of his beast, Pei Jin acted wilder than before and was delighted to hear about this news.
He said, "We’ve got what we need. Before the night falls, bring me to half of the human population in this city. The more blood and flesh was given to my beast the faster he would hatch and we could leave for the Barren Lands."
"Hear my commands. Massacre all humans within 100 kilometers around this mansion!" Pei Jin command.
The hundreds of undead and Shadow responded, "As you will, My Lord!"
—
The press conference was still ongoing when the news about attacks from the undead appearing in the city was reported to the current marshal, Long Tian. A soldier suddenly barged into the hall covered in blood.
The soldier shouted, "Marshal, the whole city is being attacked by undeads!"
Everyone in the hall including the reporters were shocked by this news. They never expected that the undeads that were rarely seen in their city would suddenly appear in groups targeting the whole city to be embroiled into it.
"Why would undeads suddenly appear like this? We’ve been following the protocol to prevent it !"
"There must be another reason for it!"
"Someone must be intentionally making these undead!"
"However, it is hard to create a place for these things to be born."
"They were created from piles of dead bodies, dead with strong resentment and in a place covered with the scent of death, blood and rot."
"Indeed, how can such a place exist in our city?"
Long Tian ignored the conversation in the hall and asked the soldier who was now being treated by his comrades.
He asked, "Have you found the source of the undeads?"
"Yes! It comes from the Pei Clan’s territory. Our spy waiting outside before we lost contact sent a message about this undead coming from there and..."
"And...?"
"The message said that everyone in the Pei Clan’s Mansion is dead. Only Pei Jin and Shadow were left alive and that... the killer is none other than Young Lord, Pei Jin."
"He called him little devil."
Learning that this chaos had something to do with the Pei Clan. Long Tian’s face turned cold as expected. He immediately made a decision to save the city.
"Contact the Military. Tell them to gather at the main city except the commander at the borders. Send him a message to watch out for those who would be coming out of the city and about the undeads led by the Pei Clan."
"Send a message to my brother at home as well. Tell him that protecting the house will be left to him!"
"Yes, Marshal!" A soldier said before running out to complete the mission.
Long Tian added, "Reach out to the Killer Pavilion, and Mercenary Tower for help in eliminating the undead. The rest of you follow me to kill as many undead as we can until the reinforcements arrive!"
"Yes, Sir!!" All of the soldiers responded.
As for the death soldiers in the hall, they were all given one bullet in the head for instant death and were burned down to prevent them from becoming undead. Now that a lot of undead are roaming around the city, it is quite possible that most corpses would get affected by them and also turn undead.
The reporters were escorted to the evacuation center by some soldiers while most of them followed the marshal to kill the undead spreading in the city. As soon as they got out of the building an undead jumped on Long Tian which was instantly killed by him. He looked at the scene of the human getting eaten alive, running for their lives and undead feasting all around the city.
Long Tian was enraged to his core and couldn’t help but shout in anger, "Pei Jin, you have crossed the line!"
