Chapter 168
“F*ck! D*mn it’s cold!”
That was the first sentence that Sui Xiong said after barging into that world .
There wasn’t a second sentence as of then, because in the next moment, he was frozen in a blue piece of ice .
It was a boundless ocean that had countless icebergs . Many devils were giving birth and reproducing on the floes . They were jumping on the ice ocean lightly with actions that were hard to imagine . Every time they touched the ocean, the spot where their legs landed would form a big piece of ice .
Flowing in the ice ocean was of course not water, but some kind of light blue fluid . Its coldness was beyond imagination, and it had a weird characteristic: once it got in contact with something, no matter what is was, it would immediately freeze .
Sui Xiong didn’t want to know what was underneath the water . His gut feeling told him that if he were to sink in the deep water of ice ocean, it definitely wouldn’t be a good outcome .
So the moment he arrived at Ice Block, he felt the drifting ice sinking and he immediately cast magic to carry him with the huge piece of drifting ice, and flew into the air .
Then, he realised that space crack that linked him to The World of Scorching Heat was above a piece of decently sized drifting ice that was almost against the ice’s surface . He got out from there suddenly and flew off the area of the drifting ice, straightaway falling into the ice ocean that was right next to it .
There were many devils in this world, that were rushing over to the space crack from all over the place .
He frequently saw a big gang of devils that used drifting ice as boats, and found something else as sail . They cast magic to set off wind as power and sailed in mighty contingents .
There were also many powerful devils that didn’t use any tricks, but flew over in the air, and dashed towards the space crack .
There were even some weak devils that couldn’t set off wind but used some ice as cushions to run along the ice ocean, towards the space crack . Most of their efforts exhausted their energy halfway; it froze them into ice and sank under the sea .
Sui Xiong flew in the air and saw such this enthusiastic scene .
“F*ck! Such strong hatred! What made the front fall, and those behind take up their position?” Sui Xiong mumbled to himself and he shook his body vigorously to shatter the ice that frozen him . Then, he casted magic to become invisible and watch the situation from the air .
After leaving the surface of the water, the world was actually not that cold, and it felt quite bearable . But the ice ocean in the world was really strange; it was ridiculously cold . He didn’t know what kind of fluid made the ice ocean .

“Anyway, it is definitely not water,” He mumbled to himself . “Although I have returned all my physics knowledge to my teacher, I at least remember that ice freezes below zero degrees, and at zero degrees, it would definitely not make me feel cold . ”
He used magic to collect some ocean water samples curiously, but he realised that although he could “hold” the ocean water, he couldn’t absorb it in, only take back a few drops .
The water in the ice ocean didn’t look any different compared to normal water . But once it was absorbed and left the calm sea surface, it immediately turned stringy, just like glue sticking onto the sea surface with its surrounding . As it got further from the sea surface, it gots stickier . Even when he used his strength to its fullest, he could only pull out a two meter long stringy fiber, but was unable to cut it off entirely .
He tried to cut it off with magic but there was no magic took effect . Chopping it with a sharp blade felt like hitting a hot object, burning it with fire had no effect at all, corroding it with poison and vibrating it with sound wave didn’t help at all . Nothing did .
“That’s strange! What is this ice ocean exactly?!”
Sui Xiong flew higher . When a few devils noticed something was weird they flew over to check . They couldn’t find anything, but flew around the air and pondered .
Stringy, cold, freezes things and sinks them in…
The more he thought about it, the more he found it weird . In the end, he was even terrified .
The ice ocean… wouldn’t be gastric juices of a huge monster, right?
Thinking that he might possibly be flying around in the stomach of an enormous primeval beast, he felt uncomfortable all over . He immediately decided to cast away all his curiosity and flew towards the crack to return to the World of Scorching Heat .
Just when he was about to leave Ice World, he could clearly feel that there was an obscure but profound consciousness that twinkled deep down below the ice ocean’s surface, and he nearly shouted .
“Damn! It really deserves the title of Abyss! They have all kinds of strange things!”
Thinking the huge Ice World might really be the stomach of an huge monster sent shivers down his spine . He soaked in the scorching hot blood pond for a long time and finally relaxed .
Then, he flew quickly into the space crack and killed all the invading blue-patterned ice devils . He then cast magic to start blocking off the space crack .
He spent a long time blocking the space crack completely . He just got to relax when another nearby space burst into pieces, and endless lightning currents flowed out like a lightning waterfall .
Flowing out along the lightning waterfall were countless amount of small sized devils . They were small, but their fighting power wasn’t . Almost every one of them could fight against the selected devils in this world . Especially when they united into one, their fighting power would advance by leaps and bounds, turning into another kind of existence .

“Hey! It can even unite into one!” Sui Xiong was interested and he stretched his arms to catch one of the united devil to take a closer look .
After fiddling with it for a while, he finally found the problem . Most of the devils that flowed out along the lightning waterfall had no organs; the entire body was made of clouds of surging lightning . The combination of lightning with lightning would become a stronger lightning, what was wrong with that?
Sui Xiong caught another few lightning devils and researched them . Until he mastered the basis of the power of the lightning devils, he could apply the same tactic again . After ensuring his back-up plan and safety, he could barge into the world of lightning devils again .
That world wasn’t as terrifying as ice world . It was only a broad boundless desert that was completely covered by gloomy clouds . The thunder echoed continuously and the lightning filled the sky; it was even difficult for one to open their eyes .
Among the lightning, countless devils were born . Most of them became incredibly weak after the lighting struck and died off eventually, but others became extremely strong . They were on a totally different level than the b*stards before . Within a very short period of time, it was like great waves washing away the sand, where many strong selected devils were born .
“The f*ck! This speed of increasing army force is incredible! If this was a game, it would definitely be an add-on feature!”
Sui Xiong was hidden under the desert as he saw the countless selected devils born among the lightning, whistling into the space crack that was connected to the World of Scorching Heat . He was feeling a little uneasy .
Looking at such a situation, the devils in the worlds might not be able to withstand…
Their death shouldn’t be regretted . If there was any trouble, it would ruin the sanctuary that the God of Justice had prepared . It would be a pity!
Then, he didn’t hesitate anymore . He got out from below the soil and opened its mouth at the sky to take a deep breath .
Countless lighting was mutated and deformed, and swarmed towards him from all over the place; but he swallowed them in a mouthful .
The next moment, there was large amount of smoke spurting out from the huge jellyfish’s body, and there was even a muffled scream that came out among the mist .
“So! Hot! Ah!”
Those lightning strikes were not strong, but with countless of them gathering together, it combined into a boiling hot lightning waterfall . Sui Xiong didn’t expect that at all, and he was suddenly burnt to the verge of passing out .
He screamed and groaned for quite some time and finally relaxed as he released a few mouthfuls of smoke . Looking at the space crack, the amount of newborn devils had gone down by a lot . The pressure from the other side of the world should had begun to lighten, too .
He continued to guard at the space crack and eat all the devils that wanted to go over to cause trouble . Occasionally he would absorb large amounts of lightning and store the power in his body as a preparation for future battle .
After a while, the dark clouds in this world diminished, by a lot and lightnings was not as plentiful as before . It was as though the end of the world had passed, and it resumed to the stage where it was suitable for living .
Then, on the originally barren plain, appeared branches that grew . It turned into a dense grassland very quickly . There were many devils that were reproducing among the grassland, looking full of life .
Sui Xiong continued to absorb the lightning in the dark clouds and as he was getting more and more familiar with the lighting devil power, the speed of his absorption got faster . After a week or two, he finally absorbed almost all of the lightning power in the dark clouds and converted them into a flowing lightning river .
When everything had completed, he wanted to leave . But just when he wanted to go through the transportation portal, he felt that the world had something that worried him, and he wasn’t willing to leave yet .
“What is it exactly?” He mumbled to himself suspiciously while he searched within the lighting world .
He searched all over . He saw conflicts between strong big devils multiple times, and felt that the faintly discernible power was getting clearer and nearer .
In the end, he finally found his aim .
It was located on the lofty mountain: a blue crystal ball .
There was no trace of human carving on the crystal ball; maybe it was a divine force creation . It contained powerful lightning that made Sui Xiong nervous .
If the crystal ball were to suddenly explode, no matter how strong his defense power was, he might be severely injured too!
He intended to throw the crystal ball away and leave, but he faintly felt that it had a strange connection with this world .
“If I could eat the crystal ball, maybe I could obtain power and could control this world…”
Looking at crystal ball floating in the air, with lightning sparkling within, Sui Xiong hesitated .

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.
