IDOLIZING CHAOS

We Meet Again

  (Please, do read 'author's note'? I'm to give an update about previous chapters.)

 "Ahhh! Please, I'm sorry."

"Don't Kill me! I'll do anything"

—— ——— ———— ————

   All these voices met the same end. The Blood Axe that was brought out moved swiftly from left to right, harvesting lives with every cut.

   "Brat! Rein yourself, less you lose control to your blood lust." A voice in Aeries head coached. This was Plaque who had been idly watching everything from the Human Temple. Because of his soul form, he wouldn't be of any help to Aeries if he went out. Rather, he could feast on the Time Monster's meat stuck up in the warehouse.

T.his trigger promptly cleared Aeries' bloodshot eyes. Bodies and severed limbs sprayed sparsely apart on the ground... This was what he saw spanned tens of meters out.

 "They killed people. Plaque, you should have woken up from this fallacy humanity 'justifies ' things. If I don't kill the cub, I just might someday let a tiger into my house to eat my children." Aeries said without backing down. In the alternate timeline, These people murdered even crying, children. Killing them here would be the right thing to do... This was Justice.

  "Aiya! Brat. How can I not understand you? Someone to act like a butcher to save the farmers. To make your hand bloodied so that the multitude can leave in peace. To anyone, it may seem like a righteous cause, something worth it, to brag about and to drink I'ver dinner.

 But you forget one thing, Morals!!!

To kill pleading, weak and defenseless people would surely strike as evil. Brat, rethink this."

  Aeries had been silent this whole juncture, not attempting to say a word. But deep inside of him, his heart was currently in turmoil.

'Morals, eh? There is truly a saying that man should not go against his ethics. If he does, he is simply just a monster.'

  "But Plaque, isn't your saying too base?" He countered, his once confused face now having a beaming smile.

  "W-what ever do you mean? Could it be you're still thinking about—" 

"There's also this particular common saying back in my planet, pitting it less uncensored, it should be like this,

"A man's gotta do what a Man's gotta do... Unless he's not a Man.

  What it simply means is this, there are times when you... when I would have to do something, to save my friends, to avenge my family... And even if the devil comes himself, I still am going to kill a bastard."

 "......",

Aeries walked lightly and shot the other side a faint look,

"I say, aren't we all humans?"

to this question, all heads bobbed up and down in affirmation. If it was before the short battle, none of them would've been bothered to answer such q rubbish question, Most likely a sword would've been used...

But now, who were they kidding, although they could not hear the conversation between Aeries and Plaque, From Aeries's sudden hesitation, a glimmer of hope could be seen. One they had to grasp.

"Oho? so there's no respect for human lives again? —" There was a pause. Not because his words struck a punch at them, but because laying some ten meters around him were corpses of the said 'humans'.

Aeries knew that he wasn't good at such psychological talk. Instead, he sighed softly and gave out instructions,

"This Young Lord here is going to give you a minute to leave his domain. After the one minute is over and I still find you here, s**t's going to go down."

" ..... "

"Thank you my Liege!" The vagabonds exclaimed and took to their heels, less some demon behind them suddenly change his mind.

"Brat, why did you allow them to go? Isn't that going against your motives?" The confused voice of Plaque rang out from the Human Temple.

"Wrong. To me, they were just headless dragons. Due to greed and lust, a slight thrust pushed them to the deranged state they were in...

If there's a person I want to kill, it's the Mastermind who started this whole gathering."

"Interesting... Who is that?"

Aeries had already pushed out and stepped down lightly on the back of his Soaring Hummingbird. "You'll meet him soon" He replied.

[Bang! Swoosh!! Hong!!]

On the deserted streets of the Krieger's city, a clash between two groups of cultivators shook the whole line up stalls and warehouses, an ordinary punch created shockwaves enough to bring down structures, and a kick could destroy the buildings around...

But then, every blow they traded between each other wasn't 'ordinary' at all. Even the topography had shown a slight alteration due to the force experienced.

[BGSHIII]

A woman flew out feebly from the constant collision. Thanks to the almost seamless cooperation between these seemingly odd and in ordinary people... no, kids, even two Martial Generals weren't enough to stop them.

"Do Re Mi! Draw Me A Red! Haha, do you still want to get back up? just one punch from this my blazing fist would DESTROY you..." One of the kids spoke while laughing in giddiness. He had the guts to wear a funny mask over his face. With a long pointy nose and several feathers atop it, He was the very definition of a weirdo.

"Fool! Don't you dare brag so openly, You didn't even take any action when we were fighting, am ashamed of you." Another boy commented with an irritated tone. He sat comfortably on a man, bloodied to become unrecognizable.

His clothes were currently stained with blood, but he still had the face to make a slight smile when he looked at it.

The man was, in fact, the second Martial General Cultivator that fought with them some minutes ago, the first had been a Woman, currently staring daggers at them while attempting to make another clash with them.

.

"So? Why isn't he out yet? The Fool! didn't you say he was the Young Noble living such a wayward life in this area? We've killed so many people, yet his face is still hidden." The last kid sat on His right had held a hammer with a head large enough to weigh 100kg.

.

If Aeries had been here, he would've surely recognized all these characters here.

The three kids were all part of the 3000 'chosen' sent down by Mearle some months back,

.

When he fought them the last time, it had ended in a total defeat. With his cultivation, he could barely take on a cultivator at the Lower Stage of the Martial General Realm. For two Martial Generals to be defeated in this short pace of time, shows the prowess these "children" had.

.

"I don't know Rogue, If it's just as you said then this would not work. He is the most renowned slick pants in the whole Kingdom. He would probably be hidden in some underground hideout or kinds of stuff, you know... like the movies.

But there's still one thing we can do" The Fool spoke while being concentrative... No one knew if he was for real or just faking it.

"Out with it already!" Troll grunted

"Sure, sure... Burn Her..." Following the Fool's line of sight was indeed the Woman they had just defeated.

"deranged Children! You must've lived with pigs and wolves to take on such characters!" The woman shouted in helplessness. Her leg was bent at an unnatural angle and even then, a sword was pinned through her.

.

The Sword was a type of Artifact that inhibited the Cultivator from sensing the heaven and earth Qi in the surroundings. This would hinder the healing and restoration of their powers and even corrode their bodies to some extent.

"Remember, the time for the Year Contest is almost at hand. We can't waste time being cooperative with the other party, Rogue.

Relax, when she reaches a critical time on the 'frying pan' he's got to show up. No one can watch his mother being roasted alive right, ?"

Rogue's blank look immediately gained clarity and he nodded. 'Mother eh? no one can indeed watch his mother taken away from him. no one would ever take this System away from me!'

"Do it Fool"

"Haha! That's my specialty,- Guys... the man is home"

[Bang!!]

"We meet again."
