What the Underworld’s King of Hell did could not be considered fast, but when the news was reported through all levels and repeatedly confirmed to be transmitted to Sacred World of the Kai, two more days had passed since the disappearance of the souls at a large scale. This time, such a situation has occurred not only in the West Starfield but in the whole universe on a large scale.
Obviously, this is a crisis that affects the entirety of Universe 10.
Universe 10, Sacred World of the Kai
Behind the huge passageway with “界” symbol, the yellow-skinned Supreme Kai Gowasu was looking at the report of the mortal world with a solemn expression while Zamasu and Tapion stood behind him on both sides.
“Universe 10 is a boundlessly vast dimension, and there are uncountable starfields under it, but now the phenomenon of reduction of souls has erupted out at the same time, I am afraid that there is someone big manipulating things from behind.” Gowasu sighed deeply and handed the report to Zamasu and Tapion.
After Zamasu and Tapion finished reading the report, their faces also became gloomy.
The total number of souls in the world of the living and the Underworld has always been in equilibrium. The souls of the world of living enter the Underworld and then go through King of Hell’s trial. People with high merit value enter Heaven while people with high evil value go to Hell. Good and evil similarly reincarnate and get reborn, but the phenomenon of complete disappearance of the souls doesn’t happen.
“Could someone have used dark magic that requires the use of souls?”
Zamasu’s eyes showed disgust towards dark magic as he said politely. During his tenure as North Kai, he knew that there were dark magicians who were good at evil magic on many planets in the mortal world. When they sacrifice to demonic beings, they often resort to very cruel methods.
Tapion next to him agreed: “It is quite possible that Planet Konats had dark magicians who used souls as sacrifices. But about such a large-scale sacrifice, I have never heard of it before.”
“The situation is most likely as you say, and we are not here to discuss it.” Gowasu was deeply worried, so he turned to Zamasu and Tapion and said: “You both immediately go to the mortal world to investigate. If you discover what the situation is, immediately report it to me.”
“Yes!”
“Evil must be eradicated.”
Tapion and Zamasu responded loudly, then glanced at each other before teleporting away one after another. The Instant Transmission ability is acquired after becoming a trainee Supreme Kai.
Watching his two disciples leave, Gowasu’s wrinkled forehead furrowed. He took a sip from the teacup, but the black tea that used to be fragrant was no longer so delicious. Still feeling uneasy, he took out a crystal ball to personally investigate the situation of the mortal world.
Countless bright planets flashed through the crystal ball like looking at flowers from horseback. Those planets were either glowing light blue or glowing dark red, orbiting smoothly in their orbit. There was nothing abnormal.
After investigating thousands of habitable planets continuously, no major problem had occurred. Then Gowasu shifted his attention to Planet Kryia where the souls had disappeared first, but just then, the crystal ball dimmed and when he looked again, he saw nothing.
Gowasu stood up with a “woosh”, his expression very solemn. What had happened before him was beyond his expectation.
“Even the Supreme Kai’s investigative ability can be blocked!”
Gowasu’s expression became grave. The matter seemed to be even more troublesome. As one of the two highest gods in the entire universe, Supreme Kai is responsible for the working of the universe and the creation of habitable planets. It can be said that apart from a few places in the depths of the Demon Realm, there is no place in the universe that Supreme Kai can’t see through.
But at this moment, a habitable planet in the mortal world was able to block Supreme Kai’s investigation.
Realizing that it was a serious matter, Gowasu calmed down and continued to use the crystal ball to investigate other planets. Numerous starfields flashed in the crystal ball, and more and more blocked planets were discovered, the number had exceeded 10,000.
“Ten thousand habitable planets and each of them is an enormous planet that has countless living beings. How many souls have been swallowed? Such a thing has rarely happened in the history of Universe 10.”
Gowasu hugged his head with a distressed look on his face. Now that the matter is no longer his Supreme Kai’s alone, but endangers the entire Universe 10, Gowasu realized that he needs to contact the God of Destruction Rumsshi-sama and the Angel Kusu.
Mortal world’s starry sky.
A light flickered for a moment before the figures of Zamasu and Tapion entered the void of the universe, and the deep and dark red universe’s background entered their vision. Since Zamasu served as North Kai of the Milky Way Galaxy, his understanding of the universe was above Tapion.
“We’ll head to different directions separately. If we find something unusual, we will use Potara Earrings to contact the other person immediately.”
“Okay, be careful when you act.”
Formulating a strategy, the two of them separated and set off in different directions.
Several minutes later, Zamasu entered an area shrouded in darkness. The large planet that was supposed to be here was completely obscured.
Noticing the disgusting dark energy permeating the void, like a huge vortex constantly surging and changing its shape, Zamasu’s eyes flashed with a cold light and he plunged into that dark energy. In the area shrouded in darkness, there seemed to be a layer of dense mist in front of his eyes, and his vision became blurry.
“How many innocent lives have been swallowed by the damn evil energy?!” Zamasu’s expression was dark as he narrowed his eyes.
“Sure enough, this world still needs the baptism of justice,” Zamasu muttered, seemingly strengthening his conviction.
“If I can have the incomparable strength of God of Destruction-sama, I’ll surely eradicate all the darkness that threatens the world.” Even he himself did not realize that subconsciously he felt dissatisfied with the Gods who held great power but did not do their due diligence, and the rebellious bud which had taken root in his heart sprouted, and as long as the opportunity was ripe, it could keep growing.
Zamasu passed through the heavy darkness outside the planet, and finally entered the inside of the planet, but the cruel scenes he saw made him feel a slight chill throughout his body.
The bustling city was turned into ruins, and corpses were lying everywhere in the streets and alleys. Their faces looked hideous, some clutching their necks in pain before suffocating, some struggling to crawl forward, their claws stretching forward stiffly. They had experienced extreme pain before their death. These people had their souls forcibly extracted before their death, and they were in extreme pain before death.
Old people, women, infants, there were no exceptions. Because the negative emotions of living beings are also one of the sources of dark energy, people here did not die easily.
“Damn bastard, what a cruel method.”
Zamasu clenched his trembling fists, with veins bulging out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth in anger and wished to wipe out all the evil people.
“Sure enough, Teacher Gowasu was wrong. What this world needs is true justice, and not the so-called guidance and righteousness. Only when all the evil beings are strangled in the cradle will the world usher in a bright future.”
“And I’m the only one who realizes this.” As if he had understood the true meaning of life, Zamasu vigorously opened his arms and a cold light flashed across his stern face, his expression gradually becoming sinister.
