I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 230: 7.29 Second Violet Star - Cloud Empire

After teasing his husbandʼs soul fragments for his own amusement, he finally decided to prepare to leave Ivern with the rest. After taking a bath in the spring, Eirwen wore ordinary mage clothes in silver and white in color. He made his features ordinary and unless he speaks how he normally does no one would be able to tell that it was him.

Meanwhile, Neige also wore a disguise as a human being. He made his appearance a bit like his lord but looks older than him. He also wore clothing worn by an archer and also hung a thin sword on his waist. It made him look like a hunter.

At this moment Neige and Eirwen look like brothers planning to become adventurers together. But they are still not in the act as they were still in Ivern. Once they come out of the forbidden land only then they would act their part. Their new names were Eis for Neige and Schnee for Eirwen. It means ice and snow respectively in German.

”Yue, make sure that those two would be unable to find us using the names of Neige and Eirwen Night. Once we got out of this paradise our name would be recorded as Eis and Schnee instead. You may alter this worldʼs database for this part.” says Eirwen in his head

[Understood, Host. I will do as you told me to do so.]

After all, preparations were done, Neige and Eirwen had teleported back to the city but not within the kingdom Hart but in the largest empire in all of Aerd. The Cloud Empire is said to be the largest human land in Aerd, it is a city that accepts all races regardless of whether they are humans, elven, or even the fallen race.

It is an empire led by a royal bloodline that is mixed with someoneʼs bloodline from another world which is why the Cloud Empire had the closest structures of the modern world. Tall buildings, varying types of food from Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and more.

Clearly, the ancestors of this land enjoy cuisines from different types of countries from Earth. It is a mix of the modern world and fantasy world as one. There are even smartphones but the components were made from Aerdʼs materials.

The real reason why Eirwen chose this place is that in this place the influence of the God of Light, Lucien, and the God of Darkness, Adrienne, was the weakest in this place. This is a land created by a realist otherworldly human from earth. They donʼt serve any Gods directly and believe in science more.

Arriving in front of the Empireʼs gates, outsiders were fully checked of their identity. A tall wall surrounds the whole empire and protects it from harm. The walls of this territory are covered in defensive spells of all kinds. It is a kind of setting that an ordinary mage wonʼt be able to see through but who made Neige and Eirwen not normal. They just lightly glance at the walls and walk towards the entrance blocked by guards in full silver armor.

Cloud Empire is a place where the highest authority is held by the royal family. There is a huge palace at the center of the land separated from the town by a waterscape. Either way, you can only visit the palace through the sky.

By the gates at the North Entrance.

A long line of people can be seen by the entrance when Neige and Eirwen arrive. Seeing the almost neverending line before them and the sun shining so brightly on the top of their heads made Eirwen uncomfortable. He knew he would miss lunch if he didnʼt do something about this.

Neige, who is in disguise, asked, ”My lord, do you want me to do something about this situation?” he said.

Eirwen didnʼt reply right away and looked expressionless at the long line which was moving as slowly as a turtle. 

Sighs~

”Go and ask Araysh if he could get us in without going through such processes. We will wait for you under that tree. Itʼs so hot so I wonʼt fall in line like the rest.” said Eirwen.

Neige nods his head silently before suddenly disappearing in thin air. Everyone was so busy with their own business that they didnʼt notice the interaction between the two as well when Neige teleported instantly which should be impossible for humans to do.

Some hidden figures noticed Eriwen and Neige. They can see that the two were wearing a disguise over their faces. The features of the two look closely related which made them look similar only their eyes give them away.

The petite one who is wearing a white and silver mage clothing look had a presence of aloofness yet impossible to ignore. His disguise made him look extremely ordinary but his phoenix-shaped eyes made others unable to stop looking at him. Just standing at one side made him look like an unattainable being untouchable for anyone.

Hidden figures murmurs:

ʼThis child possesses a weird aura.ʼ

ʼThat is not his real face. He is wearing a disguise.ʼ

ʼBoth he and that person who used teleport suddenly disappeared. They both hide their real appearances.ʼ

ʼThis boy had a strong scent of snow and ice on him.ʼ

ʼImpossible! The ice spirits were proud and treated any other race obnoxiously!ʼ

ʼMoreover, the current Ice Spirit King is a silent yet a cruel man. He kills anyone who trespasses his territory. Do you still remember how many died in Ivern Expeditions!?ʼ

ʼAnyway letʼs keep an eye on them.ʼ

ʼFreely eliminate if they did something they shouldnʼt have.ʼ

ʼUnderstood!ʼ

ʼAffirmative.ʼ

ʼOkay, sure~ʼ

ʼHahaha, fine.ʼ

ʼI will remember.ʼ

These hidden figures must be the guardians which protect the Empire in their own way. They sometimes observe the outsiders who enter their homeland. It wouldnʼt be surprising for them to notice Eirwen and Neige who chose to not all be in line and just stood dumbly at the distance. If not for their strange actions those eyes wouldnʼt even care about them.

Meanwhile, Eirwen Night was informed about the identities of those hidden figures by his system.

[Host you are being watched by the avatars of the other gods. They seem to havenʼt heard anything about the Lord Godʼs soul fragments descending in the mortal realm.]

”Let them be. They will know anyway. Even if they do, can they do something about me?” replies Eirwen his tone and words were full of confidence backed by his undeniable strength. He as an Immortal God from the highest realm would never fear Gods from lower realms than where he came from.

”Yue serves the food so we can eat,” Eirwen said in his mind, asking System Yue to materialize to eat with him and the pixies. 

Eirwen walks away and sits under the tree nearest to himself. The ice pixies who made themselves invisible were accompanying their lord as always. After seating under the tree shade, Eirwen acted like he was having a picnic. 

He even spreads a picnic mat under him and pulls baskets from his dimensional space filled with his lunch. He made some lasagna and garlic bread as well as pizza for lunch. Thereʼs even a huge plate of chicken wings with different flavors pulled out from his picnic basket. The small feast was served by Zhi Yue who materialized to eat lunch with his host.

Zhi Yue spoke as he served his host as usual. He passed to him the first plate he prepared, ”Here Host please eat.” he said.

The latter accepted what he was presented with and slowly ate at his own pace. The pixies removed their invisibility and sat at the mat to start eating as well. Everyone ate while enjoying the food on their own.

On the other hand, Neige just appeared within Damianʼs Mansion right in front of Araysh who is holding on to reports he is working on. He was stunned for a moment when he saw an unfamiliar face, the one who appeared before him.

Only when Neige removed his disguise and walked towards him did Araysh show a delighted expression on his face.

”My dear, you came over! Did you miss me?” asked Araysh. 

Neige ignores his casual flirting and says, ”Lord Hei wants to enter the Cloud Empire but the line is too long and he doesnʼt want to wait.”

Araysh looked at his lover with confusion imprinted on his face, ”You have the token of the Lord Godʼs avatars. It is enough to show your standing as all avatarsʼ family members. In Cloud Empire, Lord Lucienʼs avatar is the strongest light warrior mage and a royal family member.

Luciel Li is the current hero as for Lord Adrienneʼs avatar in the Empire he is the Regent, Raine Li as Luciel Li didnʼt wish to govern as king and wants to play hero instead. Raine Li is Luciel Liʼs adopted elder brother. Only the latter had royal blood. These two were only a few among the avatars of the Light God and Dark God.” he explained.

Neige spoke, ”Then the token from before is from them? Lord God knew that Lord Hei would go to this empire?” he asked. 

”Well, Yes. Thatʼs the reason that there are more cafés and restaurants in Cloud Empire in the past 2 years. Because Lord Adrienne knew that Eirwen Night likes to eat he made preparations in Empire to incite his stomach and make sure he would stay there before they descended. The token I gave you is a royal jade owned by the Empireʼs royal blood. It can be used anywhere in the Cloud Empire.” explained Araysh as he hugs his loverʼs waist.

”With the token, there is no need to fall in line and even if directly teleported inside no one would care?” asked Neige.

Araysh replies, ”Yes but there would be other Godʼs avatars in that place. They are annoying but nothing would change much even if they were to be killed.”

”I see. Give me money. I donʼt want to go to the bank after returning. Lord Hei wanted to get registered directly and start playing around as an Adventurer.” says Neige.

After passing a small chest of gold coins, Neige kept it in his item box right away.

The current duke Damian of Kingdom Hart responded, ”Even if you register right now the only thing you can do after registering is F-rank tasks. Most of it is about gathering herbs and such wouldnʼt it be boring for him?” asked Araysh.

The Ice Spirit King replies, ”I donʼt think so. There pixies with him, they would be the ones who would most likely do that kind of thing for Lord Hei. Anyway I need to go back now. He must have finished eating lunch by now.” says Neige. 

Araysh stares at Neige without saying anything but the arms he wrapped around the person stays the same. 

”I promise to eat dinner with you, okay? For now, let me do my tasks,” says Neige. 

The latter finally let go and smiled after the promise of eating dinner together. Araysh kissed his loverʼs cheek before letting him leave. 

”Be careful, okay? Lord Hei wouldnʼt get hurt unless it was done by someone like my lord but... The other Gods here are still stronger than your current vessel. Itʼs better to avoid conflict with them if necessary.” says Duke Damian of Kingdom Hart. 

Neige nods his head to express his agreement before once again disappearing in thin air from the office. Araysh returns to his table to continue his work. 

Araysh murmured, ”I would only be able to leave this place once the Lords descended. For now, let me prepare a successor to this position.”

Back to the Cloud Empire. 

Eirwen and the rest finally finished eating lunch. Now they are eating ice creams once again as the sun is too hot and they wanted to eat something sweet and cool. Only Eirwen eats and drinks a cup of fruit float. When Neige returned he saw this kind of scene.

”Youʼre back. Eat first before talking. I need to finish my drink first.” says Eirwen.

Neige says a one person meal set saved inside the basket Zhi Yue had handed to him.

Zhi Yue says, ”Eat well. I had to work hard to not let those little gluttons from eating your food.” he once again returned to being in system avatar mode and stayed over on his hostʼs hand.

Neige watched as Eirwen played around with a little moon the size of a tennis ball in his hands. He started eating his lunch and explained things to Eirwen about what Araysh had told him from his visit. Only after he finished eating that Eirwen stood up from the mat. With a single wave of his hand, everything used for the picnic had returned in his dimensional space.

”Those Godsʼ Avatars he was talking about had longed noticed us. Must be because choose to wait for you here and stayed uninvolved with the crowd, Even right now they are still looking,” says Eirwen.

Only then Neige noticed the feeling of someone or something is staring at them. Right now his disguise was off and so those peepers recognize who he was.

ʼThatʼs the Ice spirit king isnʼt he!?ʼ

ʼNo way! He left Ivern. This is impossible!ʼ

ʼInform someone to welcome them! This instance!ʼ

ʼYes, Sir!ʼ

By the time the men those hidden figures had sent to welcome Eirwen and Neige appeared, Neige had once again worn his disguise. His appearance is back to being human looking like the delicate man beside him. A noble followed by a group of knights and soldiers approached the two men who look like siblings.

The nobleman says, ”Greetings esteemed guest. I am Baron Chen. First of all. Welcome to the (Cloud) Yun Empire.”
