Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

142: Gods?The Jinx Family Head looked coldly at Erlichandi, his eyes revealing undisguised killing intent. He said in an icy voice, ”Kneel! As long as you kneel, I’ll let them go. Otherwise, you can wait to collect their corpses!”

Standing nearby, Yier Lusen, the heads of the Kahn and Quest Families, and the Elders of these Four Great Families also stared intently at Erlichandi, their faces filled with equal hatred. They echoed in unison, ”Kneel and beg for mercy, and we’ll let them go!”

The Devilish Qi on Erlichandi’s body churned like raging waves, as if about to burst forth from his body.

He saw The Five of Koteski tightly wrapped and lying on the ground, devoid of Life Qi.

His eyes turned crimson, revealing endless fury as he glared fixedly at the Jinx Family Head, gritting his teeth and asking, ”What exactly happened to them?”

However, facing Erlichandi’s question, the Yier Lusen Family Head showed no fear. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly into a mocking smile as he retorted, ”What do you think?”

The heads of the Kahn and Quest Families nearby were clearly growing impatient. They exchanged a glance and then shouted in unison, ”Countdown begins! If you don’t kneel and beg for mercy, let them die!” Before the words faded, they signaled to the bodyguards holding The Five of Koteski.

The bodyguards understood immediately, raising their knives high. The gleaming blades shimmered with cold light under the sun, aimed directly at the necks of The Five of Koteski.

Then, the bodyguards began the countdown: ”Three... two...”

Erlichandi’s heart was torn with conflict, but in the end, he decided to take a risk.

He thought to himself, perhaps Koteski was merely unconscious from poison? Even if they went back on their word and refused to release them, he had countless ways to make them suffer a fate worse than death.

Just as Erlichandi was about to kneel before his enemies—

The expressions of excitement and vindictive pleasure on the faces of the Four Great Families’ members!

Erlichandi observed their reactions without showing any emotion. As his knees were about to touch the ground, he keenly caught the openings exposed by the bodyguards as they relaxed.

In an instant, Erlichandi cast a spell without hesitation, freezing those bodyguards in place.

It all happened so fast that the Four Great Families’ members didn’t even have time to react.

However, when Erlichandi rushed to the side of The Five of Koteski and untied their bindings, he was stunned by the sight before him.

He saw The Five of Koteski covered in wounds, fatal injuries all over their bodies, their flesh already cold.

Erlichandi slowly crouched down, gently stroking their icy bodies. His eyes at this moment turned completely blood-red, as if they could drip blood.

The Devilish Qi around him churned like raging waves, so dense it enveloped his entire person.

Erlichandi’s voice, as if coming from the depths of Hell, was filled with endless anger and despair: ”You all deserve to die!”

Yet, this did nothing to intimidate the Four Great Families’ members. Not only were they not frightened, but they felt a surge of pleasure, bursting into wild laughter: ”Hahaha... Erlichandi, you demon, you killed my son, and now I want you to taste the pain of losing loved ones too!”

Facing their furious shouts, Erlichandi only responded coldly: ”My loved ones were already killed by you all long ago, weren’t they?” His voice was calm yet filled with endless sorrow.

Erlichandi’s words made the leaders of the Four Great Families pause in surprise; they seemed somewhat puzzled by this statement.

But at this moment, both sides were blinded by rage, and no one had the mind to delve into the meaning of those words.

Erlichandi slowly extended his hands, black Devilish Qi churning like raging waves in his palms.

The immense energy contained in that Devilish Qi seemed capable of dyeing the entire sky pitch black.

And the Four Great Families’ members opposite, facing such terrifying Devilish Qi, showed not the slightest hint of cowardice.

They roared in unison: ”Kill!”

Both sides instantly clashed fiercely. Erlichandi swung his hands, and the black Devilish Qi transformed into sharp blades shooting toward the Four Great Families’ members.

The Four Great Families were not to be outdone, each unleashing their Family’s secret techniques.

The Jinx Family Head summoned a golden shield, blocking some of the Devilish Qi attacks.

The Yier Lusen Family Head chanted incantations, summoning ice spikes to pierce toward Erlichandi.

Finally, this heart-stopping confrontation ended with Erlichandi’s victory.

Erlichandi’s fighting style was exceptionally fierce, completely disregarding his own injuries, with only one obsession in his heart: revenge. Like an enraged beast, he launched a final fierce assault on Yier Lusen.

In his final moments of life, Yier Lusen seemed to suddenly realize something. He let out a burst of wild laughter: ”Hahaha... we’ve all been used as pawns, pawns!” With this bitter laugh, the flame of his life was completely extinguished.

Erlichandi also heard Yier Lusen’s words, but at this point, he had no time to dwell on them.

His heart was filled with despair and sorrow. All his loved ones had left him; he had nothing left, so what was there for others to fight over?

Erlichandi silently brought The Five of Koteski and the others back to the village.

This village held too many memories and pain for him.

Here lay the entire village’s residents, along with his parents.

Along the way, time seemed to freeze, yet also pass very, very slowly.

When he finally reached the village, the night was deep, and all was silent.

Erlichandi gently released The Five of Koteski from the space ring.

Although the space ring was miraculous, it could only hold inanimate objects and could not allow living people inside.

Erlichandi’s blood-red eyes looked at The Five of Koteski and the others. His chest heaved violently, as if a powerful force was colliding within him—the suppressed Devilish Qi.

”I’m sorry... I’m sorry...” Erlichandi’s lips trembled slightly, repeating these three words over and over, as if they were the only words he could utter.

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying endless regret and self-blame.

”The villagers, my parents, and all of you... died because of me...” Erlichandi murmured to himself, tears streaming down his cheeks. He felt he was a sinner, a sinner who could not forgive himself.

He raised his head, gazing blankly at the sky—the once azure sky now appeared so gray.

”God? Where are you? Why can’t you protect your people?” Erlichandi’s voice echoed across the empty wilderness, carrying a questioning of the divine.]

[Wang Yase of the Gold Time Dimension: Sigh!]

[Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Revenge is understandable, but I don’t think he’s evil!]

[Xia Mei of the Iron Time Dimension: What a tragic man!]

[Guan Yu of the Silver Time Dimension: Their world has gods??]

[Xiong Ya of the Copper Time Dimension: Wasn’t that just something he said casually?]

[Illusion Time-Space: Right, when people are in despair and have nowhere to turn, they all pray to those non-existent, fictional gods to protect us!]

[Hao Jiaqi of the Gold Time Dimension: That’s not necessarily true. Don’t forget the existence of this heavenly screen, and the ability to investigate people’s past and present lives. Is this something ordinary people can do? If not gods, then what?]

Hao Jiaqi’s words plunged the people of the Twelve Time Spaces into deep thought---
