I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1749: 24.10 Sixth Violet Star - Changes

Huxi, the beastman who possessed the form of a nine-tailed mythical fox, was entertained by the two eggs from him. He never expected to see an egg capable of retaliation. To be able to wield their abilities even when they aren’t fully mature shows the extent of the power of this egg.

For some reason, the black, quarter-purple egg was different from the other eggs. The white egg with purple and silver shades was as quiet as the other eggs. He held the two eggs in his hand and felt the life within them. The two lives inside the eggs had already formed a heart, and he can sense their heartbeat, making him happy that both eggs are alive, despite how quiet the white eggs are.

The other beastmen congratulate their leader, seeing that one of the two eggs had inherited his overwhelming strength.

”Congratulations to the leader for having an heir!”

”The leader’s eggs are both alive. This is something to celebrate.”

”There is no need for that. We need to secure the forest so that this kind of thing will never happen again. Our race has lost too many cubs and eggs because of this event. We should prevent things so such things from happening again,” Huzi said.

The beastmen were all in agreement with their leader’s words. Those who had lost their cubs and eggs had hatred sprouting in their hearts, and just hearing the word humans makes them angrier. That’s why the whole race had decided to create a hidden nest at the center of the village. This will be where all eggs will be placed for hatching, and there will be shamans looking after them inside. No beastman wanted to lose another egg or cub. Just once is enough for them to be protective.

As for the humans who survive the ordeal against the beastmen, they can only flee from the ancient forest. As soon as they stepped out of the forest, the trees, as if they were alive, started gathering to form a wall that separated the two lands. Each tree weaved its branches with the other trees until a towering wall made of wood appeared before these humans. The human race finally realized that the ancient forest they used to freely enter had become a danger zone for their race. As the leader of the beastmen had declared, all humans who crossed the wooden wall would be killed on the spot, and not even one was spared.

At the human city. The old human marshal had returned to their land badly wounded for trying to protect the humans from escaping the forest. It can be said that he was badly injured, and his beast was killed by Huzi without mercy. When he got back to the mansion of the marshal, the doctors and healers were all summoned to treat him. They had tried everything to heal the old marshal. Even so, he was crippled below the waist and even lost his beast. The family of the old marshal was saddened by this event.

The human race tried to retaliate against the beastmen, but the difference in strength made them unable to fight back properly. Their beasts were nothing in the face of the beastmen, who possessed the same level of strength. Now that the ancient forest is closed off. The closest source of their beast eggs is now gone.

The humans hated the humans who created this situation and also hated the beastmen who didn’t listen to their explanation and started the war against their race. Though they feel bad for the beastmen who lost their eggs and cubs because of those bastards, they had also lost a lot of their beastmasters and loved ones from the retaliation of the beastman race.

At the mansion of the old marshal...

The family of the old man had gathered. They all heard the news of what happened to the strongest beast master of their family and how he had fought against the strongest beastman from that ancient forest. Though they only treated the beastmen as exclusive beings who lived in the deepest area of the fantasy forest, they never believed they were as strong as the myth foretold. Now that they had fought against these beastmen, all the stories about them having a beast and human form were now witnessed by everyone.

The old marshal was bedridden, leaning on the head of the bed with a pale complexion. The death of his beast affected his spirit domain, as he had signed a contract with it. This is a wound that cannot be healed by ordinary means at all. If he hadn’t signed another contract with an unhatched egg, things would have ended worse.

The old marshal’s son exclaims, ”The beastmen had gone overboard! How can they attack the father who came to give them an explanation about the situation? They are ungrateful, as expected of a race with beast blood!”

”Son, that is not for you to say. You weren’t there, so you couldn’t understand. Their eggs and cubs were killed by humans. It’s not simply one or two, but a whole building of them! Do you think you would be able to keep calm if your own child were killed and the beings who killed them appeared before you? In their eyes, humans are humans; whether they are bad or not, they are humans and from the same race. We have no right to get angry at this situation!” The old marshal said.

His son retorted, ”But... how can they do this to you? You had nothing to do with those bastards who did such a thing!”

”Old Marshal! General! Something has happened in the city! The video platforms were all hacked, and... videos from that illegal facility are being played all over the city!” A soldier under their command urgently reported.

The old marshal and his son, the general, were shocked. They immediately controlled their terminals to see what kind of video was being played.

This is all thanks to the surveillance video sent from that facility before it was destroyed. The one who sent this video is none other than Zhi Yue, under the command of the God of Destruction. Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang worked together to hack into the human city’s StarWeb and upload the videos from that illegal facility. Now, all videos about cruelty towards the beast eggs and baby cubs were played before the eyes of all humans. Especially the part where Shizi, this lion beastman, cried as he embraced the little lion cub who took the last breath in his arms. Many more scenes similar to this were played on all platforms in the human city. Seeing the beastmen, who looked like humans, hugging their dead eggs and cubs, the humans finally understood where the anger of this race came from.

The higher-ups tried to take down the video, but even with all the experts of their race, they couldn’t take down these videos. It was only then that they understood that the beastman race isn’t only a race with beast blood. They also have the same intelligence as the human race, making them the hardest opponent for both humans and beasts.

It took three whole days before the video was taken down. The general was saying that the beastmen race had overreacted to the situation and were now speechless. Even they can feel angry by the scene they had witnessed. Much less than that race that had suffered the most. In reality, even the human race had factions. One faction treats their beast as a friend or comrade who fought with them and shares their lives with them, and the other faction treats their beast as a tool and does everything possible to get stronger so they can kill more beasts. They believe that what that facility has done is for the greater good of the human race.

The old marshal and his son, the general, are from the former faction, while whoever created that facility might have something to do with the latter faction. In short, the current situation between the humans and the beastmen was something caused by someone in the human race. It cannot be denied that they had sinned.

As expected, in just a week, a petition for the old marshal to retire had been approved. The old marshal had expected this outcome even before it happened and pushed his son forward to take his place. The merits this general had accumulated can be said to be second only to what the marshal had done in his life. He was approved as the new marshal to take on the lead. The other faction was distraught by this ending. They failed to get the lead position they’ve always wanted.

As the seat was taken by the son of the old marshal, meetings about the three-way war had been foretold. The only good news is that the beastmen won’t be coming out of the ancient forest as soon as they lock down the forest itself, preventing anyone from entering and leaving it. That one act was the only attack the beastmen had done against the humans. However, the ancient forest had become a danger zone for the human race.

The new marshal came to see his father, who can now move but only with an electric wheelchair to carry him around. The old marshal still looks pale, but he is more energetic now than before.

The new marshal said, ”As Father had predicted, due to the lack of beast eggs, a petition to enter the ancient forest was once again opened by that faction. Do they truly want to start a war against the beastmen? The beast race has been too quiet recently as well. The whole situation feels ominous.”

”This is our new world now, with two enemies surrounding us and some humans who couldn’t handle their greed. If this continues, the human race will only lend itself to its own destruction,” the old marshal said while rubbing the egg in his hand.

This is his new beast egg, given to him by his grandson. Well, in reality, this is his grandson’s egg, and he is only watching over it. A pure silver egg with a galaxy-like pattern. This is Hunluan in his egg state.
