Chapter 565: Still Human (1/2)
Receiving no answer, Wang Ling waved his hand, ”Fer… erase the hindrance.”
”Yes, Father.”
Fwu…
Before anyone could react, the black flames engulfed everything in a five-hundred-kilometer radius, erasing everything that threatened Wang Ling, but extinguished not a single life. Wang Ling turned to Fer and reached out to the trapped God.
Wang Ling touched its flames, its warmth extended to him erasing what once plagued him, ”I cannot control you yet, wait, for me, I will get you and your sister outside of your confines. Then, would you provide me your strength?”
Fer growled in delight, ”We shall be waiting, Father.”
”Mm, for now, rest and gather your strength, when I call upon your name again, it would be the time when I rip space asunder and return you to your homes.”
The space closed after collapsing on itself. The temperature of the surrounding area returned to normal and as Wang Ling released his breathing he reverted to a carefree exterior. Stretching his body without even needing to do so, he took a single step to reach Lixus.
The Ancestor still clung to a hint of rage behind the terror. He could grasp the reality of the situation, but he couldn't let go of the hatred, ”Just so you know, it was the Vermillion Bird Ancestor who deliberately orchestrated this little ”Sparring” session to help me draw out my latent potential.”
”…what?” naturally, Lixus' expression turned from anger to confusion.
”Yes, after a brief moment of misunderstandings that had her breath fire at me, we called the entire thing off and we tried to spar and she almost immedia—and he's unconscious already.”
”Oh, so Lixus lost after all.”
Phena picked up Lixus from floating in empty space.
Wang Ling raised his brows seeing her wear robes he did not provide, ”…did you go back to the Deity Paradise to get some after… I don't even want to ask. Get your brother out of this place, and please explain the situation to him, fighting won't help anymore.”
”Oh, I didn't think you were so-called, new All-Father.”
”I'm not known to be sweet with words… I choose to speak facts — more often than not.” Wang Ling moved and appeared in front of Naor, ”Hey, been a while, hasn't it, Roan… wait, it's Naor, right?”
”All-Father… how disrespectful of me… I Naor gree—Aaaaaahhhh!” Naor tried to prostrate to the All-Father, but, he could only wince in pain failing to move.
”Stop that, you're only torturing yourself and I'm not exactly a big fan.” Wang Ling touched Naor's forehead as he crouched down only to see bits of his organs were spilling one, ”…you'll be fine, for now, just sleep for the time being.”
Said Wang Ling as he tapped Naor's forehead and forced him to sleep. His God's Mark unwrapped themselves from the two females he carried on his back and immediately went back to go reconstruct his body.
The God's Mark was not only an armor, it was a part of their vital being. To a Devil their God's Mark's versatility was their bread and butter. It strengthens the body and accelerates its already monstrous regenerative capability.
”But even without his God's Mark, Roan should still be able to heal himself though… then there's these two Devils…”
They were skin and bones and their breathing was weaker than those who were dying. Wang Ling shook his head and after taking a close look, he saw a resemblance between the smaller lady and Roan, 'Wait… is she his daughter? So, he risked all that for his family…'
Wang Ling let out stifled laughter, 'I guess I cannot let them at any cause, huh.'
As he went and examined their bodies, Wang Ling noticed something near embedded in their hearts. There was a beat, and as he pried deeper, he saw a single gray flame keeping extending outwards to the rest of her body, 'The Chaos Flame? Wait… is it?'
