Chapter 1759: 1759
How could Soul possibly be wrong about this aura? It was the aura of duke-level experts. They might be weaker than the three dukes, but the difference was not much.
The chef, who had left not too long ago, had returned, and he even brought with him two duke-level experts. Soul nearly cursed at this moment. It had never occurred to her that Nethery had such a powerful backup.
‘Experts of the Chaotic Universe? Didn’t they say that all its Heavengods are dead?! Why are there still two duke-level experts in that backward universe?!’
Rumble!
A loud explosion rang out. Holding the Bow of Bliss, Houtu fended off the twin brothers’ attack. Her face was indifferent, and she moved with the calm serenity of a fairy.
The Bow of Bliss was a divine artifact from the Primitive Universe. She had borrowed it from a Chaotic Saint before she came to Void City. With this bow in hand, her fighting prowess doubled.
“Cavalry of Death! Charge!” Soul’s eyes were cold, and a fierce aura exploded out of her.
The next moment, countless figures shot forward and bestial roars trembled the skies. The Cavalry of Death charged once again. The leader was a Chaotic Saint. As his mount galloped, its hooves caused the ground to shake violently!
Flames were surging in Soul’s eyes. She glanced in the direction of the restaurant. “I was going to spare your life… Since that’s the case, I’ll kill you all!” she said in a cold voice.
The next moment, she flipped her hand. A black spear appeared in her grip, with the power of sin spreading from its tip. It was the intrinsic weapon of a Great Soul Overlord.
Soul took a deep breath. Looking at Houtu, who kept pulling the bowstring and killing her men with every arrow, the darkness in her eyes swirled. A humming sound rang out as her will surged, and the black spear floated, its sharp tip pointing at Houtu.
The next moment, the black orb that looked like an eyeball in her hand began to rotate. The spear trembled and tore through the void in a flash.
Houtu pulled the string and released an arrow. She shot with great speed, and every arrow pierced a man of the Cavalry of Death. However, as Pi Dong, Pi Xi, and the Chaotic Saint closed in, she felt the tremendous pressure increase.
She spun and shot out a ring of arrows. The trick released ten thousand arrows at once, forcing back a group of soldiers. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked up and saw a beam of black light approach her rapidly. The terrifying power of sin wrapped around its tip gave her creeps.
“This is…” Houtu’s pupils constricted. She wanted to dodge it, but Pi Dong and Pi Xi approached from behind and sealed up all her retreating paths. She screamed, and her aura towered into the sky.
A soft, squelching sound rang out, and blood spilled. Houtu’s eyes narrowed as her body was pierced by the spear. The Bow of Bliss flew out of her hand, fell into the distance, turned into light, and faded away.
All the nobles watching in the dark sucked in their breath in disbelief, while the experts who were on Houtu’s side looked sad and dejected. As many had expected, Houtu was defeated…

The spear had nailed Houtu in the ruins. She grabbed the shaft and pulled it out of her body. The wound healed rapidly, but her face was pale. ‘Soul is so well prepared…’ she thought to herself. Her eyes flashed coldly as she produced a jade talisman with profound patterns and crushed it.
Just when the twin brothers were closing in to finish Houtu with the killing blow, the jade talisman broke, and shafts of dazzling light filled the eyes of all.
“What’s that?” Pi Dong and Pi Xi felt their bodies tense up.
It was a slithering figure with a graceful upper body and a long, narrow snake tail. With a flick of its finger, a powerful aura spread like ripples, sweeping out in all directions.
A rumbling sound filled the air as countless soldiers were crushed into bits by the blow. Even Pi Dong and Pi Xi were knocked flying backward.
Soul raised her hand, and the spear wrapped in the power of sin immediately flew back into her palm. “A peak Chaotic Saint from the Primitive Universe…” she murmured.
After a while, the terrifying energy dissipated. The Cursed Goddess Palace was reduced to ruins, and the seriously wounded Houtu had disappeared. Apparently, she had fled with the help of the blow just now.
Soul’s face was indifferent. She lifted her hand, and the orb immediately stopped rotating. Then, she sent her mental force into it, and the next moment, she had detected the direction where Houtu had fled.
She looked up and turned in the direction of the restaurant, her eyes gleaming with monstrous killing intent!
…
Nethery stood in front of the restaurant with Foxy in her arms. When the white beam of light faded away, three figures emerged before her.
With his chest exposed through the loosely clad shirt, Er Ha stepped forward. When he saw Nethery, he burst out laughing. “Nethery, your reinforcement is here!”
Lord Dog walked up with his elegant cat-like steps.
Outside the restaurant, the soldiers’ pupils constricted, while their commander, the Chaotic Saint, felt his scalp go numb!
“Hey, are those the bad guys who bullied you?” Er Ha paused, then turned to look at the Cavalry of Death in the distance. His eyes lit up. “I’m Nethery’s backup! If you bully her, you are bullying me!”
Suddenly, he disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was hovering in front of the Chaotic Saint. “Come, fight me!” Er Ha said, patting his bared chest.
The Chaotic Saint’s pupils constricted. The next moment, he roared, then the knife in his hand swept out and hacked Er Ha. Its sharp edge went a few centimeters into Er Ha’s flesh.
“You…” He was startled, fixing his eyes on Er Ha, for it never occurred to him that the slutty man in front of him would let him hack with a knife without even trying to dodge. A brief moment later, he was in ecstasy.
“How arrogant! You’re courting death!” The power of curse exploded out of him—he was going to rip Er Ha’s body into pieces.
“Ouch ouch… Put more strength into your swing! Haven’t you eaten?! Hack me again!” Er Ha said in a trembling voice, his eyes misty.
‘Is he nuts?! This fellow must be a psychopath, isn’t he?’ The Chaotic Saint did not know what to say. He gave the knife a yank and pulled it out. However, the flesh of the man in front of him healed rapidly, and in just a flash, he was whole again.

“You’re as weak as a girl… This is so boring.” Er Ha twitched his lips. The next moment, he lifted his hand and grabbed the Chaotic Saint’s face.
A loud bang rang out as the Chaotic Saint was pushed to the ground, which caved in instantly. Then, Er Ha bucked his hips and pushed the poor guy all the way forward. The ground burst apart and kept exploding.
All the soldiers around them felt a wave of fear. Er Ha was laughing, giving others an impression that he was a madman. However, this madman was unexpectedly fearsome.
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Er Ha. Lord Dog was watching calmly as well. For them, the Cavalry of Death was nothing.
“Dammit… I can’t believe someone can be more slutty than me! I’ve met my match!” Marquis Lang Gu’s jaw dropped as he shook the pellet drum unconsciously.
The soldiers were about to trample Er Ha when, to their horror, they found that they could no longer move. The Law of Time had wrapped their surroundings.
Lord Dog focused his eyes and slowly waved his paw.
A humming sound could be heard as the savage beasts under the soldiers turned into embryos, causing all the men to fall to the ground on their bottoms, dumbstruck. “The f*ck? Where are our mounts?!” The soldiers jumped to their feet in horror.
“Hahaha!” Er Ha clutched the Chaotic Saint’s face and kept smashing him into the ground, sending rocks and sand flying everywhere. The people were at a loss for words when they saw his crazy look.
Viscount Ash, Master Zhen Yong, and some other people were attracted by the sudden commotion. “What’s going on? Why is the Cavalry of Death under attack? This chef doesn’t want to live anymore, does he? Now Her Excellency Soul is even less likely to spare us…”
And when they saw Er Ha’s crazy look, they were utterly stunned. “Why is he so violent?!”
Lord Dog frowned and glanced at the void. The next moment, he waved his paw once again. At the gesture, many soldiers’ armors burst apart, their bodies exploded, and their souls jumped out to flee in panic.
Some soldiers, whose strength was quite strong among other Saints of the Great Path, escaped the paw. It was useless, however, and they were soon left with nothing but a wretched look.
Whitey stood behind Nethery, its mechanical eyes flashing. Its belly had turned into a black hole, and a powerful suction was bursting out of it, sucking all the souls that tried to flee the scene.
Viscount Ash and Master Zhen Yong did not know what to say. “Two duke-level experts… Who said Her Excellency Nethery is the weakest Cursed Goddess? Especially that dog… He can manipulate time. Just now, he had turned those savage beasts into embryos with just a thought. That’s a cool trick!”
Suddenly, the void distorted. Bu Fang focused his eyes, while Nethery paused for a brief moment. There, a graceful figure emerged, staggering as she panted violently.
“Oh? Cursed Goddess Houtu?”
Bu Fang and Nethery were slightly stunned. Based on her appearance, she was seriously injured. Did she face Soul without proper preparation? Or was Soul stronger than she thought?
Just then, the sky in the distance trembled violently, while terrifying dark clouds approached, rolling and churning. Cursed Goddess Soul, hovering in midair with her black robe fluttering and cupping a black orb with her hands, looked coldly at Bu Fang. Behind her, tens of thousands of soldiers trampled through the void.
Er Ha flung his hand. With a hopeless look on his face, the Chaotic Saint flew backward and then fell to the ground. “Bu Fang young man, I told you we need to bring an army of one hundred thousand men…” He twitched the corners of his mouth. “If we have such an army, we will not be overwhelmed by their imposing manner.”
Nethery helped Houtu to stand up. The latter’s face was pale with the power of sin swirling over it.
“She has a weapon that belongs to the Soul Demon… Be careful,” Houtu said. She was hurt by that weapon. The weapon used by a Great Soul Overlord was extremely powerful and vicious.
Er Ha’s figure flickered and appeared at Nethery’s side. “Hey, beauty, you need help… You need the shock of a vigorous life force,” he said seriously. The power of sin was corroding Houtu’s life force, and Er Ha felt his existence was extremely crucial now.
“Move aside.” Bu Fang walked up and pushed Er Ha away. Then, with a shake of his hand, he produced an oyster pancake and gave it to Houtu.
Houtu did not turn down the pancake. She grabbed it and took a bite. The power of sin in her was immediately suppressed.
“Beauty, my shock of life is actually more useful than Bu Fang young man’s pancake. Do you want to give it a try?” Er Ha said. He still did not want to give up.
Houtu gave Bu Fang a strange look as if she was asking him where this idiot came from.
Soul hovered in midair, her hand holding the spear surrounded by the power of sin. She spun the spear and pointed it at Bu Fang.
“You stinking chef… I never expected you to go and get help. But… Do you really think two duke-level experts can save you all?” Soul said coldly, her eyes gleaming with killing intent. She had thought of getting rid of Houtu first, but in the end, Nethery became her biggest threat.
“Beauty, I can see that you are held up by the power of sin. You may need my shock of life to clean it. Do you want me to help you?” Er Ha looked up at Soul and shouted.
Viscount Ash, Master Zhen Yong, and Marquis Lang Gu were struck dumb. They could not understand why this guy was so… slutty.
Lord Dog’s temples throbbed. Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth with an expressionless face. Nethery rolled her eyes, while Foxy covered her eyes helplessly with her little paws.
This was so embarrassing!
Soul simply ignored Er Ha. The next moment, her eyes turned black, and her will surged. Suddenly, the base of Void City exploded!

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
