BXBX NOVEL Chapter 84 Matthias' Wrath, Banishment
"How many casualties?!" Matthias asked coldly.
The leader of the Angels and Demons, Seraphim Alumen and The Abyssal Demon Prince Calcio flew towards him, "Lord Creator, the angels suffered a total of 480,000 casualties." Alumen said painfully.
"The demons suffered a total of 650,000 casualties." Calcio replied.
Matthias' face darkened. Suddenly, Yi Tiancai appeared out of nowhere, "I can't persuade Denos to sleep–"
He then saw Matthias and felt the gloomy atmosphere, "Greetings, Lord Creator." He cupped his hands and bowed.
"Why are you persuading Denos to sleep?" Matthias asked coldly.
"Ah.. Um.." Tiancai stuttered, "Lord.. Miss Bai Xia–" He didn't even finish when he was slammed on a non-existent wall by a terrifying Matthias.
"Why did you mention my lovely daughter?!" Matthias yelled angrily.
"Master! Calm down! Asileius was shocked by Matthias' sudden move and stopped him.
Matthias cane back to his senses. "Sorry, Tiancai. The deaths around me have made me too paranoid that something might've happened with my daughter. Did she and Denos fight? Yeah, no. I know that Denos wouldn't let her fight. How is she? Is she still brewing inside the Hall?" Matthias then proceeded to enter the space without minding any of Tiancai and the others' words.
What greeted him as soon as he entered the second level of the Hall was a sight that he will never forget as long as he exists, both physically and spiritually.
Denos was holding a small and pale hand affectionately. In front of him was Bai Xia's peacefully 'sleeping' body with a huge bloody hole on her chest. Looking at her face, it seemed that she was just sleeping comfortably with a smile on her face. A bloodstain trickled from her mouth. It was as if someone wiped out the blood.
Matthias couldn't take it anymore and his legs became jelly and he fell on the ground. His heart turned cold, and tears flowed from his eyes.
"Daughter.." He stood up with incredible difficulty and walked towards her. Denos saw him and stood up, "Godfather, Bai Xia is still sleeping. Let's just meet her another time."
"Leave.." Matthias' voice turned cold. He glared at Denos and yelled angrily, "Leave!"
He directly kicked Denos out of the space and rushed towards Bai Xia.
"I'm sorry, my daughter. Father's failed to protect you. I'm sorry." He sobbed beside Bai Xia's corpse and caressed her.
Even though she was already a corpse, her elegance and purity still lingers in her. It was as if she was really just sleeping.
But, the blood and the hole on her chest gave away her state.
Matthias sent his energy inside Bai Xia to revive her. Her wounds closed incredibly fast, but there were no signs of her being alive. He tried again but it was for naught.
Slowly, Matthias regained his cold stature. He teleported out of the Hall and appeared in front of the still absentminded Denos. He strangled his neck and raised him up high with great strength, "You're the reason she died!"
"Lord Matthias, calm down!" Asileius tried to ease the tension but failed, "Say out of this matter, Asileius. I know you're a powerful being, but I wouldn't tolerate you if you tried to stop me from punishing this failure of a man!" Matthias replied coldly.
"Sigh. As you wish." Asileius shook his head and sighed resignedly.
Matthias then threw Denos away. He exhaled to calm himself and succeeded, but he still coldly spoke, "Even if you are someone who comprehended the Law of Time and could be considered important in my domain, I wouldn't let you stay for what happened today. I hereby banish you from my domain, and you will never be able to see her until you have found a way to revive her."
"But–" Denos wanted to rebuke but was immediately stopped by Matthias, "Don't even but me! If I hadn't calmed myself down, I would've already killed you!" Matthias coldly responded.
Denos gasped and tears ran down his eyes. Matthias then continued, "If it wasn't for me thinking of what she might feel if I killed you, I couldn't have stopped myself from decapitating you and sealing your soul inside your decapitated head."
"I entrusted my daughter to you, but she died exactly because of you. I love my daughter, but I know you love her more. Prove yourself by working hard to discover something that can revive her. Don't even think about coming back unless you find a way." After saying that, Matthias waved his hand, directly sending Denos away from the galaxy.
Matthias then looked at Nuwa's corpse. Matthias shook his head with solemnity, "Nuwa was the reason I reached this height. The least that I can do is send her home." He lifted her body and sent her to the altar. He then burned her body, sending the ashes where it really belonged.
He then flew to the world of Zeldus, the capital world of the Zelds.
He met with the current ruler of the race.
"It is a pleasure meeting you, lord of the galaxy." The Zeld showed his respect by blinking his eyes and placing his hands on his forehead. Zelds do not need to blink. By blinking, they express their trust to the other person. And by placing their hands on their forehead, it is a sign that they will always be connected.
"It is also a pleasure meeting you." Matthias did the same gesture.
"I want to create a deal with your race." Matthias went directly to the topic.
"What is it lord?" The Zeld asked.
"I shall entrust to your race the basic laws of my domain. You could also spread your race throughout my domain." Matthias explained, "In turn, your race must not use the powers and laws that I shall give you to dominate the galaxy and instead, you need to help protect the realm from outside invaders. You shall be entrusted with five planets to be your habitats. You also need to be low profile and not be involved too much with the others."
The Zeld thought about it and nodded, "We can do that, Lord. That is really just how we normally live. We will just be added with the protection of the realm."
"Thank you." Matthias did the respectful gesture once more and flew away.
