Chapter 147 - 147.Fastest end of war

As the Illusion dissipated the crowd from outside could clearly see a small group of people and loudly cheered and called.-

"Everyone, just stand still. This will be over very quickly." Lord's words resounded loudly throughout the valley.-

Sudden laughter could be heard and a strange-looking man appeared in front of them. "Old Lord, look that son of yours. He is quite a pretty thing. We might not kill him and keep him as playtoy."-

The crowd opened up and the bundled man was dragged in. The strange man stared at still munching young Lord and was stunned.-

" Don't you want your father back? Sitting there and not helping, how is that filial..." This was the first time to see this kind of situation.-

Young Lord just shrugged his shoulders and mumbled while stuffing his mouth with strawberries. "To be a father has to be earned. He left when I needed him most, now seeing him is like seeing a stranger. Has nothing to do with me."-

He could see a small smile on Kendra's face so he felt relaxed. After so many years, finally, he felt relaxed. Not to even mention as a deity, he is willing to set an altar for her as a goddess and pray earnestly.-

Kendra didn't bother with his mind. That strange man's face was clearly a mask. Made from a dead person. But why?-

She took a few steps towards him while holding Isaa's hand. " Elder, may I ask one small question, just tiny little one I promise."-

His eyes darted between the two children and he couldn't feel anything, so he relaxed a little bit. -

"Speak. You can ask a question but after that go to our camp we have plans for such pretty beings." He lecherously looked at Isaa that hid behind Kendra's back.-

Just now his sight turned weird. In front of him stood youth with pretty face and glowing red eyes and hair. How interesting...-

That youth opened his mouth showing the line of pearly white teeth and smiled. "That... " He pointed at his face looking a little bit lost.-

Strange man toughed his face and a strange giggle came from his throat. "This. It is actually someone I liked and trusted. But he backstabbed me. so I peeled his skin off and wear it like someone crown or headgear. Is that enough for an answer?''

Kendra shook her head. ''Not enough. Who was he that you trusted him so much and was so furious to do such a thing to him?''

He sighed. ''Who else? My own son, of course. He even called himself Puppeteer. How foolish.''

Kendra felt defeated and reassured at the same time. She slowly mumbled. ''So he was Puppeteer. Sigh. Actually I planned to search for the whole continent for him, but this way is good as well. After dealing your lot I can finally go home and enjoy my time here.''

She searched through the crowd and finally found the peopel she was looking for. ''You brought them all as it seems. Good, very good. Thank you for gathering them all here for me. I can finally relax after today. Hahahahhaha.''

The man took off the skin of his face and in front of her appeared otherworldy beautiful face, but she was unimpressed. A beautiful man can only attract more problems. So she never was fond of such beauties. Then she remembered something.

''Tell me, the girl from that clan was actually infuriated with you, wasn't she?'' She looked up and down his body and nodded. ''Yep, probably you were the one that promised her stars and moon, hahhahaha. How foolish she could be to believe such dirty old bastard like you are.''

Silence suddenly fell upon the plain and everyone started looking at each other. Is this child crazy? Trying to anger Master of Hell? 

''You... What did you say about me? Old? WHO ARE YOU CALLING OLD!?'' his hands shook as his powers started surging out of his body.

''Of course you. Your body might be young, but you are quite a stunner. After living so long, your face young, but your blood already turned into dust. And no matter how much you try, you will never be a real man again. You used dark powers and sacrificed your blood in exchange for powers. Of course, there would be a rebound. And your was that in this lifetime you will never have any descendants again. It seems that you killing your son was quite a blunder.'' She smirked as she looked at the skin thrown in the dust.

''Impossible...'' He stepped backward and suddenly felt something under his feet. He looked down and saw the only thing that remained of his only child. ''How is that even possible? They promised me that I will have descendants all over the future empire.''

Kendra chuckled. ''WHO promised you? The bugs?''

He rose his head and slightly nodded while looking again dazedly at his son's remains. Suddenly fury started surging around him, darkness slowly started swallowing his body and soul. 

Everyone started backing up. All this that knew how destructive his powers are started running in fear. Only then they realized that they could run only a bit further as they arrived on the invisible wall. 

They clearly saw the other side but coudlnt walk further. In their hearts, the fear started surging froth. 

But on the other side, some people just stayed there and with a smile waited for everything to end. What is point running away? Dying this way or that way doesn't really matter. You will on end still die. 

Kendra waved her hand and suddenly big bubble appeared in front of the man that finally started looking like a dead person as his face was depleted and only white bones could be seen. In his eye sockets, a red light appeared and as it seems that is the last stage of the one consumed by it.

He suddenly stood up and was about to unleash the power as teh bubble swallowed him in instant, capturing him inside it.

Unfortunately for him in such small space his power surge backlashed at him and soon the bubble was filled with darkness and fir and long after that only a bit of dust was left there. 

Isaa turned her head and sent fireball to incarnate the skin of his son. ''Brother, what about those disgusting people?''

''Let's see who should be punished and who shall not.'' She used her hand to send a wave of her consciousness towards everyone inside boundary and moment later she opened her eyes again.

Her sigh could be heard trough whole place and was edged as cold blade inside all those hearts filled with nasty things. 

''So what will we do with everyone?'' She sighed. 

One old man with a stick in his hands slowly walked towards her. Kendra felt happy seeing him, finally. ''They asked me to find you and bring you to us. But before going to my home I have to make sure that you are willing to give up your powers. Are you?''

The old man smiled and sighed at the same time. ''Some will give up some will struggle.''

Her eyes turned cold. ''Those that don't want voluntarily will be not only stripped of your tribe's power. I will strip the power in the core of the people and enabling them having power children ever in the bloodline.'' 

He finally nodded. ''Do as you seem correct. We traveled so many centuries, just to find cure. I would smack the face of my ancestors if we don't let their final wish come true. I am elder of our clan, I need to bow in front of their shrines in the future. Wouldnt I lose quite a bit of face if I can't comply with this request. You are the first that offered us help.''

''So be it. Those who colluded with this man and think and want to do evil will perish today. Those who did wrong because they were pushed to do it but never felt remorse will be stripped f their powers. and life span. Those that felt remorse but never struggled out of greed, will be teh same. Only those that tried the best they could to avoid any kind of bloodshed even if that means harming themself will be granted to keep powers if they have if they don't they will be compensated after we go back home. This is my final sentence. ''

This moment mournful cries could be heard resounding through the valley. Not even one at first considered these children dangerous. But seeing how ruthless they became in just moments, they got really terrified. 

Finally, everything ended quickly. Or not?
