Chapter 85 - Heavenly Treasure; Evil Infant - NSFW* (1/2)
Leaving Moon Slaughter aside, who was lying wasted on the ground, I started to walk towards where the miasma was denser.
After walking for a while, I reached a wall. Though it looked like an ordinary wall, if one is keen enough, then one can find that it is manmade.
I point my finger towards it – a wisp of Primordial Energy left it and stuck the wall, breaking it in the process.
Walking inside, I saw a sword that was releasing black purple miasma from it.
That is a nice design. The sword was long and slim with no cross-guard or hand-guard on it.
Seven different rubies were etched on it. It had 'Evil Infant' written on its blade.
”Is this Evil Infant? I thought it would be a wheel or something… since it has 'Wheel' in its name.”
”I can change my shape!”
Suddenly, a sharp voice that of a child resounds in my ears. I look at the sword and saw miasma changing shape in front of it and formed a little girl.
She looked to be in her 13s, with long black hair that reached up to her hɨps, dull red eyes. It felt like they were void of any emotions. She wore a one-piece black dress.

She is, Evil Infant? But she is quite cute. Though I understand the infant part.
”You are?”
To my question, she seems to puff her almost non-existence ċhėst and said, ”I am, the one feared by all, the one that stands above all known poisons, the one that brought-”
”I see, so you are Evil Infant.”
Seriously! Haulia Tribes are enough, you know! Who knew that Evil Infant has an 8-grade syndrome.
”What was that for?! How can you intercept this one's great introduction?!”
And here I thought that I was a narcissist, but she seems to one a whole different level.
Patting her head, I said with sympathy laced in my voice, ”I understand that you were sealed in this place for billions of years… it happens sometimes. I know. Things like brain damage are normal.”
She seems to enjoy my patting, but then, when she heard me – pointing her finger at me, she said, ”You! Are you saying that I have brain-damaged?!”
”Not at all, Your Highness. How can a great being like you have such a thing?”
Nodding her head, she released a slight ”Um”.
”So…em… Evil Infant, do you want to make a contract with me? I can free you from this place.”
Seriously, calling her Evil Infant does not sit well at all. It is so weird.
”Will you really take me out of here? You are not going to seal me too, right?”
Her voice was filled with anxiety and sadness. She seems to suffer a lot, it seems. I mean, she was deemed Evil just because of her powers.
Human fears unknown. It seems that this can apply to Gods too.
Gently patting her head, I lowered myself to her level, ”Of course not. As long as you listen to me, I will let you room the whole world with me. We can experience all kinds of new things. So, tell me, do you want to come with me?”
She seems to believe me, finally, as a beautiful smile adorns her face.
”Um!”
So cute. What should I do? There are just too many cute lolis around me now; who knows what would happen in the future.
”Then how should I make a contract?”
Hearing me, she walked towards the sword that was inserted in the ground and said, ”I have lost most of my powers, and since Primordial and Profound Energy was depleting continuously from the God Realm after the era of Gods and Devils, the process of recovering slowed down a lot. But, recently, I feel like the world has filled with worldly essence again. Like I am back to the era of Gods and Devils.”
Well, of course, she can sense this is not God Realm anymore. But now I think about it, other Gods never said or asked me the same question.
Is it because they were only a wisp of their consciousness? Whatever, I will ask them later.
”To form a contract with me, all you have to do is, drop a blood drop here, and I will take care of everything.”
Listening to her, I went forward and dropped a blood drop on the hilt of the sword.
Just as my blood drop came in contact with it, the sword dispersed in the dark purple miasma.
It converged my right hand and formed a dark wheel with seven different gems around it.
'The contract is formed, master. You can easily use my powers now, but since I have not recovered all of my power, it would be not that useful during fights with Gods, not that you would need that much power.'
”You do not have to worry about that. You can absorb Primordial Energy directly from me. It will fasten your growth.”
It's not that I will let her absorb all, but a little percent would not hurt. It will just slow down my advancement a little.
And to be honest, I am not in a hurry to become stronger since, as long as no anomaly comes out, I can fight on equal terms with the powerhouses of this world.
'Thank you, master!��
She seems happy. I try to imagine her in my arms and a long sword formed on my hands, same vil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations>.
Doing some practice swings, it is of perfect weight for me. I can feel that I can control all the miasma around me.
Anyway, it's time to go back then.
Coming out of the cave, I walked towards Moon Slaughter. I focus my killing intent on him as he jolts away from the ground, looking around cautiously.
Seeing me, he calmed down and said, ”Is there is something I can help you with, Young Noble?”
After merging with the blood, he seems calmer than before.
Shaking my head, I said, ”Come on. We are leaving.”
---
Coming out of the now dispersing Devil Nest, my gaze fell upon anxious AnBai and You'er. Going towards them, I said, ”I am back. Here meet him, he is Moon Slaughter.”
AnBai seems to be surprised but introduced herself. She already knows that I and everyone around us can wield dark profound energy; she, herself, can. So, she was quite adaptable to it.
Even though her prejudice and hatred against the devil for killing her clan has not diminished but, at least, she does not discriminate blindly and only hates the specific clan of devils that attacked them.
As for You'er, she did not waste any time and went to her 'favorite' spot. Climbing up to me, she tightly hugs me.
'Who is this girl?! You cannot let others close to you, master! Especially women!'
Ignoring what Evil Infant said, I gently stroked her back and said, ”We are going back now. Guild tournament should be finished soon now.”
I had already instructed the girls to start the tournament before I left, so it should be coming to an end soon.
I wonder who won Multiverse Tournament, though I have an idea who.
”How is the planning going so far?” A dark lord said.
”It should be completed soon. After that, we can leave this place and get our hands on 'Primordial Seal of Life and Death'!” Another one replied.
”Don't be so complacent. We never know what Heaven will do to us if it found our existence!” Dark lord said with slight fear in his voice.
They all were afraid of Heaven as the moment it found their existence, it would send Heavenly Tribulations on them.
To leave their grounds, they had to make numerous preparations as to not let Heaven know about their locations.
”We will do it as stealthy as possible. Do you understand?” He said sternly.
The other lord nodded but quite nonchalant. It was obvious that he was not taking it seriously. Since they were stronger than most Divine Master despite being Divine Master themselves.
”What about the 2nd overlord? Has he reincarnated yet?” The first lord asked.
Shaking his head, the other lord said, ”We do not know. We were able to perceive his soul signals, but it suddenly vanished. We could not locate it.”
”Everything started to become a mess since the time 'That Person' has shown. He really is an enigma of trouble, just like written in records.”
”It cannot be helped since we do not know 'his' location either. All we can do is wait and wish that he will show himself sooner.”
Lord nodded and became quiet.

”You are back, brother!”
Ah, how cute. My sister really is cute. Since You'er already left me and went with Ni Xuan somewhere, probably going to tell her about her past, I picked Nuwa and kisses her cheek.
”Me too!”
Well, of course. Picking Myu, I also kissed her cheek. Both of them seem to be happy with it.
