Chapter 580: Life and Death IV (1/2)

Hong!

The Abyss shook with a giant explosion. With Everfrost holding the flames of the Norther Origin, Qinyang destroyed the northern castle in its entirety, ”Ge-get, away from me!”

She shouted holding the elemental sword against Aether's neck. Wearing Wang Ling's face, with his original long black hair, and garbed in dark purple robes, Aether laughed as he raised both hands, ”Okay, okay, I'm not doing anything, see. Look, you must be confused, but you have got to breath, my sister. For a 17,000 years old you're really uncoordinated.”

But, as she shook her head, Qinyang gathered from her wits to make sense of her situation. The skies, and the atmosphere told her the one thing she didn't want to believe, ”I-is this the Abyss?”

”Yes, this is the Abyss.”

”I was in the Deity Paradise before I collapsed… did you abduct! Wait, if I am here, then, Father, Mother… you bastard, what did you do to my parents!?!”

Aether raised his hand and sighed, ”All dead.”

Slash!

Frost, Wind, Fire, and even Lightning rendered the very atmosphere of the Abyss. Qinyang's white hair flowed, on her back were black wings and a multi-colored halo that emanated all sorts of elements, ”I'll kill you….”

She oozed killing intent.

Her sword, however, was stopped by a smiling Aether just before his neck. He held it close to his neck, not moving it, showing her it was futile, ”How scary, that single slash contained almost all Primal Elements. I can feel my hands numbing… how admirable. But, you can call that back, I was only joking. Your parents are fine.”

[A… joke?] Qinyang could not understand the man before him. The one who stole his father's face, the slaughterer of the Universe, and the personification of death was right before her making jokes, trying to lighten up the mood… in the middle of the Abyss.

”Don't be too worried, your parents are fine. I confirmed they were both in a different dimension before sneaking in through the hidden Death Aura I left in the Revenants I sent to be slaughtered earlier today. Also, think about it, if I could kill your parents, I would've done so long ago. Don't worry, your father is most probably reforging the Blood Seeker, and your mother is helping him… they're making preparations to end it all… though it's all going to be futile — I'm going to end it as soon as I can, after all… I don't want to fight him.” A grim and lonely light appeared in Aether's eyes.
