Chapter 110 The Hell Emperor, Sanyi's Intention
"Silence, Yama Kings." The Hell Emperor replied indifferently. "You have also broken the code that the Yaharin Black Emperor stated about not leaving the Realm of The Dead to enter The Realm of The Living."
"But Lord Eminence, Old Man Filth and the warriors of their realm lost to Lord Yaharin without being able to fight back! Why do we need to back off from their realm too when they're clearly weaker than us?! We are stronger, so our land needs to be larger as well!" A Yama King with a gold banner behind him yelled.
"Old Man Filth was the only considerable opponent against Lord Yaharin in that war. Why do we need to back off just because of him?" Sima Piyu muttered angrily.
"Don't overestimate Yaharin, Guanshu and Piyu." The Hell Emperor replied. "Lord Yaharin is undoubtedly a genius, talented, and one of the most powerful monarchs that Hell has had since its inception."
"But he would indisputably be erased from existence with a snap of a finger if the man you know as Old Man Filth really wanted to kill him." He professed.
"If my guess is correct, the war that they're talking about is The War of The Damned 700 years ago. If I remember correctly, Emperor Terrenois of the Empire of Cituana, the most powerful territory of the continent at that age, wanted to save his wife, Empress Anacilla, from the Grim Reapers."
"He wielded the Martelomier, The Sword of Souls, and killed all the Grim Reapers that came to get his empress."
"Because of that, the Soul Monarch of that time, Yaharin The Black, sent seven hundred Underworld Judges to purge the Emperor. He was ultimately killed by them and his wife was also captured."
"Yaharin The Black's huge move greatly alarmed the continent. Because of that, the Light Coalition was formed by twenty unified empires that are as large or larger than all the nearest empires combined and seventy independent kingdoms to hunt down those who killed the late Emperor."
"The seven hundred judges have, of course, returned to hell, so the coalition was formed for naught."
"But because of that, a lot of Emissaries of Hell were killed by cultivators and sparked The War of The Damned, having the Light Coalition with an army that is theoretically numbered to 70 trillion soldiers go against the authorities of Hell."
"It was historically recorded that a total of 55 trillion men died on the Coalition's side and two hundred thousand authorities of Hell perished and had their souls destroyed in the war."
"Because of the devastation that happened, a mysterious sect sent a mysterious man and turned the tide against Hell."
"Yaharin The Black and the mysterious man signed a treaty to stop the war. Hell wouldn't be able to cross the realms for personal reasons while the mortal realm must accept their fate and die once the Emissaries arrive." Isabelle explained to him everything that she knew that made Matthias amazed and frightened at the same time.
"After the war, Yaharin immediately withdrew from the Monarchic Seat of Hell not because of shame but because of the damage that was made by Old Man Filth." Glancing at Sanyi, The Hell Emperor continued, "He left Yaharin alive, but just barely enough for Yaharin to give up the throne. Yaharin also died three days after withdrawing, that's why no one has seen him for 666 years."
"Leaving the throne unattended, a war took place inside the realm for the throne, greatly weakening its prowess even more."
"All that happened just because of the man you call 'considerable opponent'." The Hell Emperor explained what they're facing fully, leaving the ten silent, filled with inexplicable fear towards the old man.
"You overestimate me still, Fellow Sakhyi." Old Man Sanyi laughed. "Without the Enlightenment, I would have only been barely a match against Yaharin with my power of the void."
"Anyways, We have already shown our existence to him. Shall we go?" Old Man Sanyi inquired telepathically.
"I'll go." Sakhyi replied, "But not you. You still need to teach him, but be careful not to fully enlighten him. Lord Fate would be the one to personally do so once the story reaches 'that'."
"Oh. Okay." Sanyi nodded and descended. He waved his open hand upward, then as if everyone were connected, almost all the people inside the city fell to the ground except Matthias. From their bodies rose an ethereal orb of light. He then closed his hand, gathering all the white orbs into one single orb. He placed down his hand, and with it the orb. He grabbed the orb and absorbed it by slowly hardening his grip.
Matthias, who was left standing, was startled when everyone fainted. Isabelle, being one of them. Matthias quickly catched the fainted woman and shook her, "Isabelle? Isabelle!"
He immediately placed Isabelle down together with Gail.
Sanyi looked at where Matthias was and flew towards him. "Don't worry, Matthias. They aren't dead and are instead just sleeping. I only removed their memories because this ruckus created too much chaos and also involved Hell once again. It would be harmful to your developing country if the outside territories get involved."
Matthias, who was holding Isabelle, froze. He slowly shifted his head to look at the old man and asked, shivering, "What did you call me?"
"Matthias." Sanyi smiled. "That's your name, isn't it?"
"Right. You're a powerful being. You would've known it through your wide connections." Matthias understood and sighed. Then, he returned to being cautious, "Who are you? Why did you go to me?"
The old man smiled and replied, "You can just call me Old Man Sanyi." He placed his hands behind his back, "I do not dare to take you in as my disciple, but I am going to prepare you for His greater plan."
"What do you mean by preparing me? What greater plan? Whose greater plan?" Matthias asked relentlessly.
"Slow down, big boy." Sanyi signalled him to calm down, "I cannot answer some of your questions right now, but the one that I can answer is that I will teach you the full extent of creation." He said.
"I myself cannot comprehend why He wants to speed things up for you, but I'll just comply because I am just one of the characters for his humongous creation."
"After your coronation, establish a parliament to aid you with governing the state first. I'll handle the binding inheritance for you. Qin Shihuang is a good fellow, he would compromise."
"Okay?" Matthias nodded with confusion. Suddenly, Sanyi's eyes lit up, "So that's what He wants to do. Yeah, yeah. I understand."
"Huh? Who are you talking to?" Matthias asked confusedly.
"Oh. I just sensed what My Lord wanted to do. You need not know about it for now." Sanyi shoved the conversation out of the picture. Matthias nodded in understanding.
"I'll go to you once you have done everything as planned. Just trust your will and everything will reach that point." Sanyi said. He then revealed his closed hand that was on his back and opened it.
Inside was a small magic circle filled with intricate patterns. "Although it isn't necessary for me to do this, I still need to demonstrate things to you." He said.
"This is a Samethrigiu Array, a type of Intricate Array that involves itself with the absolute laws of souls, memories, and all that is spiritual. This will be one of the things that you will need to learn." Sanyi then threw the array up. The array spun and enlarged to the size of that of the whole sky of Qixi City.
The array stabilized itself above the city and materialized small ethereal light orbs at the bottom of the array and descended those towards the fainted people.
The fainted people then suddenly stood up with blank, emotionless faces, creeping the heck out of Matthias.
Sanyi once again placed his hand in front of him. From his palm, another complex and intricate magic circle drew and formed itself. This time, multiple stacked circles were created with different colors.
"This is the method creation of another type of Intricate Array, Ksinagarsi Array. Although not really that important on usual occasions, it could be used in our situation here." He placed his hand above the stacked circles and pushed it down, forming a special and incredibly complicated array that contains several magic circles.
He then threw the same array up and it flew right above the destroyed part of the city and slammed itself right down. Suddenly, particles of dust congregated and formed itself like what it was before the chaos. The buildings were fixed as if nothing even happened. All that happened in a blink of an eye as the array slammed down the earth. Seeing that, Matthias was amazed, but not that much, as he is a creator. But with that, he could modify it to his liking and develop a new type of array.
"Anyways, I got to go, Matthias. We shall meet again." Sanyi bowed gentlemanly and vanished without a trace.
