Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 740: The Death God Descent
Ru Yunlan after puking everything he had in his stomach that day looked at the Death God’s soul fragment with a pale face and didn’t speak right away. He had a sense that the realms of those undead were almost impossible for him to sense. This means that the realm those beings possessed were a few levels higher than his. Even though he wanted to eliminate them, is that even possible? If he left without fighting those monsters, his conscience would make him feel bad for leaving them there to die, not even as a human being.
"If... If I want to kill them all. Can you help me?" Ru Yunlan asked.
The death god can feel the child’s murderous after such a long time. The last time he felt it was when he wanted to kill his half elder brother who said that his mother’s death was something she deserved and that she is a bitch who doesn’t want to let go of his father. In the eyes of his stepmother and half brother, he and his mother were the one who stole their father from them. When in reality, the one who causes their family to be broken is his father’s carelessness and his infidelity. If not for his secret meeting his first love, the woman won’t even have a chance to place a Gu in him.
Such pure killing intent yet it had never appeared towards other beings that didn’t deserve to die or people he doesn’t hate. Even if a person offends him if his action didn’t warrant death, this child will not have killing intent towards them. It was for this reason that this child was able to live in Chen Clan despite being treated worse than a servant.
At that time, he was so frustrated that the child is bearing too much for people who don’t deserve his patience and care. Thankfully, he had met the Moon Goddess. Because of this goddess, the child learns to love himself more and with his mother back to his side, he no longer sees himself as an unlucky child whose existence kills the people he loves.
It’s just that the overprotective nature of the Moon Goddess halted the growth of his successor. So when they decided to enter the ruins, he had already planned for the growth of Ru Yunlan.
The Death God’s remnant responded, {If that is what you desire, I can help you. But the death qi in their bodies is something you mustn’t absorb. Wait for me to refine it before you absorb it. After we get out of here, you should follow my instructions. In short, you are not going back to where your parents are until your training with me is done. If you agree I will personally lend you a hand in this.}
Ru Yunlan thought of something. Though his godmother is powerful and ruthless towards her enemies, she is extremely soft towards her people. She cannot bear to harm them or let them get hurt. Because of this, the growth of his, his uncle Xiao and Han Haerin slowly progressed but stable. His godmother, the Moon Goddess, must have noticed it as well. Because of that she decided to bring them to this ruin and let them train. The premise of her making a move is when their lives are in danger. Like when a divine object the broken death scythe tried to kill him before, but didn’t appear when he was pushed down the cliff just now.
"I will not do anything against my will," said Ru Yunlan.
The death god’s remnant smiled, {Don’t worry. I don’t dare to make you do something you don’t want or else that powerful godmother of yours would definitely not forgive me.}
{So, what do you want to do first? Save people or kill undeads?}
Ru Yunlan’s eyes glowed with scarlet light and said, "Kill in silence."
The murderous intent that Ru Yunlan emitted startled the Death Scythe. He had always questioned in his mind whether the master would choose a little baby like Ru Yunlan as an heir when there are lots of capable and talented candidates. But upon feeling the pure killing intent in his little master’s eyes, even he couldn’t help but shiver. Those are eyes he had only seen in his master. Something that was feared by all the living yet also revered by them.
Seeing this as an artifact spirit who had accompanied the death god for a long time, it couldn’t help but feel excited. He loves cutting enemies of his master the most as those who had been cut were usually being that deserve it.
{Little Master! I can help you too!} The death scythe’s weapon spirit said.
The death god’s remnant soul said, {You cannot kill them on your own. I will borrow your body and you watch how to fight using death qi. Against the living death, we are absolute. I will show you why.}
Just as he is about to touch Ru Yunlan’s body and possess it, the soul fragment of the Moon Goddess once again appeared as if she wanted to stop the Death God. There are instances when a god borrows a mortal’s body but never returns it until it is broken. That is what the Moon Goddess fears.
Even though Ru Yunlan was startled by the appearance of the Moon Goddess, the Death God seems to have expected this. As for the Death Scythe’s weapon spirit it trembles under her presence.
"Godmother?" Ru Yunlan calls.
The Goddess of the Moon speaks but not towards her godson but to the god of death. {You cannot cause unimaginable harm to my child’s vessel.}
{I promise I will not break his body, Goddess} The God of Death’s soul fragment said.
The Moon Goddess’s soul fragment said, {You better be... Or I shall purge you!}
Under everyone’s eyes, the silver hair of the Moon Goddess turned platinum gold and crimson eyes. A powerful holy light was emitted yet there is also an overwhelming scent of killing intent. This is Yue Xuexia’s awakened form of Holy Deva yet still possessed the presence of the Shura, a killing-holy god. Sensing the power of holiness and killer aura combine, the God of Death was amazed. A control over the powers of two Primordial Gods was something no one had done before, but the young goddess before him was using it so easily. This is indeed a power that can kill someone like him.
The Moon Goddess looked at her godson and gave him a forehead kill. An insignia of angel wing with shade of red and gold appeared on it. This is an insurance the goddess left for her godson. If the Death God retained his promise and left Ru Yunlan’s body before it was harmed and beyond healing, this insignia would deal him a heavy blow. He also might fade on the spot. Even so the death god just smiled at this.
The Death God’s soul fragment before disappearing in Ru Yunlan’s body said, {She is truly different from the rumors I heard about. An attractiveness beyond one’s appearance.}
Before Ru Yunlan could react, the death god’s remnant soul entered his body and took control over it. The strength between the two of them is big so he was helpless when the death god took possession of himself. It was only now that he understood his godmother’s worry. However, it seems that the death god didn’t shut him off completely as he can see what the former is doing with his body and feel it. The only difference is that he had no control over his own body.
The appearance of Ru Yunlan changed a bit. His hair turned long and pure black, this includes his eyes which were usually light brown, now had turned obsidian. He is emitting a powerful aura of death which most undead in the area had noticed and was pressured by it. It seems that by just taking over Ru Yunlan’s body, the death god had amplified the young man’s Death Qi.
Even the young undead nearby was compelled to appear before him. An undead lich wearing armor comes out of the left road where it stays. As soon as it saw Ru Yunlan, it was shocked. He was about to make a move but upon meeting the eyes of the God of Death, it kneeled before him.
With a hoarse voice, the undead lich asked, {Who... are you?}
{I am your ruler. How can you not recognize this lord?} The Death God said as he reached his hand to tap the undead lich on its forehead (skull).
Once the hand of the death god had left him, all of the Death Qi in the lich body was pulled out as well. As the death qi left its body, its existence crumbled and ended up becoming a pile of ashes. With its very existence denied by the one who rules the death, even an undead cannot escape death. This scene had terrified the three death warriors at the side and surprised Ru Yunlan. This is the first time he had seen the death god control death itself.
