Volume 4, Chapter 52

Translator Note

No chapter title

In the secret training ground of Paradise Manor’s base.

“Rumble! Rumble rumble!”

Amidst wave after wave of rampaging Divine-Graced power, a black-haired youth spat out a mouthful of fresh blood before being sent flying backwards!

After smashing through over a dozen stone walls, he crashed heavily against the barrier wall at the edge of the training ground.

“Ahhh~, my kidneys~”

Clutching his waist where he had just been kicked, Yeli wailed in agony.

Although after two years of training, Yeli, this new savior, had vastly improved from his initial state as someone without spiritual power, cultivating to his current High-tier Divine Martial Realm level.

However, this youth under twenty still had no dignity whatsoever as a strong warrior.

After being beaten and sent flying, he just kept throwing a tantrum on the ground, constantly wailing.

“It hurts so much wuwu, I’m not training anymore! Sister Xingwu, let’s take a break!”

Blinking his eyes, Yeli looked pitifully toward the front, toward the black-haired girl slowly walking toward him while holding a massive scythe.

“Wouldn’t slacking off be nice?!”

Hearing this, black lines couldn’t help but appear on Xingwu’s forehead.

She didn’t immediately respond, but first used her sensory abilities to carefully check every corner and blind spot of the training ground.

Although for nearly a year now, Duan hadn’t sent anyone to monitor their training, Xingwu still planned to act cautiously.

Compared to her father’s carefree style of doing things, Xingwu paid much more attention to details and was far more cautious.

Only after confirming that there was indeed no one monitoring them did Xingwu glare at Yeli irritably.

“If you can’t even endure the hardships of training, how will you become a peerless expert?”

“The problem is!”

Yeli protested, raising both hands:

“This isn’t training at all! Sister Xingwu, you’re purely just beating me up and suppressing my power!”

That’s right—although it looked like the two were sparring, in reality it was just Yeli getting one-sidedly beaten.

Getting beaten was one thing, but not only could he not improve his strength, his internal Divine-Graced power was constantly being suppressed.

Others got stronger with practice, but he got weaker with practice?!

No wonder Yeli had no enthusiasm for training and was quite resistant to it.

Regarding this issue, Xingwu explained somewhat helplessly yet seriously:

“Stupid boy, I’m doing this for your own good. If I don’t suppress your power, you’ll break through to Divine Departure Realm within a year. When that happens, you probably won’t even know how you died.”

Xingwu was very clear that House Solrog had her do her best to cultivate Yeli precisely so that after this boy reached Divine Departure Realm, they could use his soul as nourishment for their primordium… and his body as a vessel for the birth of a new god.

Since she and Yeli were quite similar in a certain sense, Xingwu wasn’t willing to let this brother-like existence become House Solrog’s sacrifice just like that.

After being told this, Yeli on the other side also stopped making a fuss and nodded resignedly.

But at the same time…

“Did you have to hit me so hard though?”

Yeli still couldn’t help muttering with his smart mouth.

“If I don’t do this, how can it be realistic? There might be people monitoring from outside. Besides, there won’t be many training opportunities for a while. I need to make the most of this time.”

“No opportunities?”

Catching the key phrase, Yeli frowned in confusion.

“Sister Xingwu, are you going to do something?”

Facing Yeli, her accomplice, Bai Xingwu didn’t plan to hide anything.

“Duan plans to begin operations.”

“Operations?”

“Mm, he plans to use me to control the Terran Malevolence.”

Xingwu sighed, answering with complex emotions.

“The Terran Malevolence, Gaia Lobir?!”

The moment this name was mentioned, Yeli’s expression changed drastically, terror unconsciously overflowing from his pupils.

Having been in this world for two years, Yeli naturally knew his “mission” as well.

That was to defeat the evil gods and save humanity.

Since they were his targets, Yeli had learned about those monsters through literature, video records, and Xingwu’s descriptions.

Those were beings that could casually crush even Peak Divine Departure Realm experts!

Existences that could casually destroy an entire country!

Monsters among monsters…

To try to control such a monster?

“Can… can it really work?”

Yeli muttered uneasily.

You know, in various novels and film works from his world, people who tried to control such powerful existences… usually didn’t end well.

“It doesn’t seem very reliable…”

“I don’t know either, but Duan seems very confident about it. Though I can’t understand the principle either.”

“Are you really going? It seems very dangerous…”

“I’m going.”

Xingwu responded indifferently.

“I don’t have a choice. Besides, I have to try, don’t I? If we really can control the Terran Malevolence…”

She would definitely immediately control that monster to destroy Paradise Manor and all these House Solrog bastards!

Thinking this, clenching her fist tightly, Xingwu made a vicious decision in her heart.

A penetrating aura even spread from around the girl, making Yeli instinctively shiver.

After finishing her inner monologue, seemingly thinking of something else, Xingwu continued instructing Yeli:

“Oh right, no matter what, I’ll be away for at least a month this time. During this period, remember to take care of yourself. Those pills they give you to improve your cultivation—not only can’t you eat them, you need to dispose of them cleanly. Otherwise, if you’re exposed, you might even implicate me.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Xingwu! I’m not a child, I know how to handle things!”

Patting his chest, Yeli said with full confidence.

“Good.”

Nodding, Xingwu raised the terrifying massive scythe in her hands again.

The Divine-Graced power in the space began rampaging once more.

“Then let’s continue.”

“Eh?!!”

Hearing this, Yeli, who had been smiling just a second before, instantly changed expression, scooting backwards on his butt.

“Stop stop stop! Sister Xingwu! Why again?!”

“Although Duan hasn’t specifically sent people to supervise our training since half a year ago, there are still quite a few Blood Guards members patrolling nearby. If the training room stays quiet too long, it will arouse suspicion. So just grit your teeth for a bit~”

Saying this, Xingwu raised her scythe high.

“Hey hey!! My dear grandmother! Then just smash the training ground! Don’t beat me up!”

Yeli shouted anxiously with a drastically changed expression.

However, after the words left his mouth, this savior’s face darkened.

It’s over…

Too anxious, said the wrong thing!!

Realizing something was wrong, Yeli immediately swallowed and looked at Xingwu’s face with tears in his eyes.

“That… big sister~, I… I misspoke, you… you don’t mind, okay~”

Hearing this, the corners of Xingwu’s mouth curved upward slightly, revealing a beautiful and charming yet soul-penetrating smile.

“Don’t worry~ Grandma won’t mind~. Grandma just wants to help suppress your strength a bit more at the end~”

Before her words finished,

“Ahhhhhhh!”

Accompanied by Yeli’s hysterical screams, this new generation savior was smashed into the ground by Xingwu’s scythe, leaving only a head with star-filled eyes…

After finally coming to his senses, Yeli pitifully begged for mercy:

“Wuwuwu, sis! I was wrong wuwuwu…”

But Xingwu didn’t seem to be stopping, smiling as she raised her scythe again.

“Don’t be so resistant… I just want to help you~”

Well, educating this smart-mouthed little brother was indeed one of Xingwu’s goals.

But not the only one.

Xingwu genuinely wanted to help Yeli deep down.

Although she didn’t know how long suppressing his power could delay things, Xingwu still decided to delay it day by day…

However, just as Yeli was pitifully thinking he was about to get beaten again, an alarm suddenly rang throughout the training ground without warning, causing Xingwu’s raised scythe to freeze in mid-air.

“All units attention, emergency situation! Emergency situation! B5 experimental area under attack, test subject S238 has escaped. Repeat, B5 experimental area under attack, test subject S238 has escaped—”

As the alarm continued sounding, Xingwu lowered her scythe and looked toward the training ground entrance.

A rare trace of joy appeared on her indifferent face.

S238?

Aunt Alice… she successfully escaped…
