CH 234
The Return of The Lord God
It was a dark corridor, with not a single ray of light coming through except for the torch.
The two walked for about twenty minutes and went up two flights of stairs before Borg stopped in front of a corridor.
The building was originally a hotel, built a hundred years ago, and then abandoned because of the war. On this floor was the hotelâs customer housing area, with closed doors on either side of the corridor, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the night.
After leading Master Lambert to room 3111, Borg knocked on the door and heard the latch being opened.
The door opened and, unlike the dark corridor, the room was lit up.
Lambert saw Jonas sitting in a chair. He scanned the room and saw that there were now seven men in it, including Jonas. The other five looked to be fighters, and Bai Lixin was sitting in the corner.
A look of horror came into Bai Lixinâs eyes at Master Lambertâs arrival. âFather, what are you doing here?â
Master Lambert glanced lightly at Bai Lixin and slowly walked up to Jonas, looking down at his dishevelled appearance. He pursed his lips and snorted coldly, âWaste.â
Jonas rose from his chair and raised his arm to slap Master Lambert.
Master Lambert glanced disdainfully at the scrawny Jonas and, with a flick of his hand, clamped Jonasâs wrist and pushed him back into his chair with a shove: âYouâre still a piece of shit. Donât you want to make a comeback? I can help you, but what will you do about Mitchell knowing everything? â
âHow are you going to help me now that Iâm in this state?â Jonas grabbed a handful of his hay-like hair and said fiercely, âDo you think Iâll ever trust you again? I took all the blame for you, and yet you sent someone to kill me. â
âSent someone to kill you? Ha, what a joke. Youâre just an ant. I donât have time to waste on you like that.â
Perhaps certain of Bai Lixinâs death tonight, Master Lambert no longer hid his true face as he glanced at Bai Lixinâs shocked eyes and looked down at the few men around him, âJonas, are you mad or stupid? You want to hurt me with just a few people? How dare you ask me out alone? I could crush you all over with the snap of my fingers. â
He grinned. âBut youâve found a good place. Itâs such a secluded place, no wonder the police canât find you. â Master Lambert tossed his cane to the ground and moved his arms back to move his muscles. âJonas, you still underestimate me, but I thank you for that.â
He glanced at the dumbfounded Bai Lixin and sneered, âYouâre a very useful tool, helping me to ground Mitchell before going to prison, and then escaping to help me lock Mitchell in a place like this. Donât you think so, Bai Lixin? â
Bai Lixinâs mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, with a look of horror beyond compare on his face.
âHahahaha!â Master Lambert threw back his head and laughed. With a swift movement of his hand, he crushed the neck of the nearest assailant with a loud click.
Both Jonas and Borg were shocked. Jonas was sitting opposite Master Lambert, and the corpse was thrown into his arms. Jonas was unstable and was pushed to the ground by the weight of the corpse.
Master Lambert looked around and rubbed his chin in thought, âTheyâre just ants, but theyâre still a bit of a nuisance. Wait just a moment, my dear boy, while I deal with these fellows.â
Jonas had just pushed the corpse off himself with Borgâs help when he saw his vision flip a hundred and eighty degrees and was greeted by Mr Borgâs terrified eyes.
Master Lambert had twisted Jonasâs head around as if he were opening a bottle of water. And then, before anyone could react, he sent seven men to their deaths in the blink of an eye.
After killing the seven men, Master Lambert slowly approached Bai Lixin, smiling kindly, âMy dear god of Love, we finally meet again.â
Bai Lixin moved back warily, âGod of love?â I donât understand what you are saying.â
âDonât pretend, my son, there is no one here. I have cleared away all the ants. My dear Eros, you even gave yourself a new decent name. â Master Lambert bowed his head and recited a name in his mouth, âBai Lixin, Bai Lixin, ho ho, Bai Lixin.â
Bai Lixin was shocked, and S419M in his mind was screeching incredulously [The host is the god of love? Thatâs impossible, absolutely impossible! There is no godâs aura in the hostâs soul!]
âI didnât expect you to be alive. My dear child, I gave you life, and yet you helped that Dijia to harm me. Do you know how sad I was as a father? I didnât even eat or sleep for three days and nights after killing you.â
Bai Lixin accepted the informative words and swallowed his confusion, âso you planned it from the beginning?â
âOf course, I know your preferences so well, so how could I not? I located a fragment of Dijiaâs soul that had leaked out itâs aura, killed Master Lambertâs soul and took over his body, then waited for you to arrive. You came for Dijia, and I believed that as long as I waited by Dijiaâs side, you would appear. But I never thought you would come in the form of Mitchell. â
âSo when I decided to have a hidden marriages and entered the entertainment world, you interfered and forced me to stay at home so that my presence would not spoil the plot of this world?â
Master Lambert sighed and shook his head, âNo, no, no, what difference does it make to me that the plot of some mole ants is destroyed? What I want is to keep my favourite god of love close to me, to care for him, to see him grow, blossom, bear fruit, and then crush him to dust. â
âYou want to save Dijia? But when Dijia sees his beloved turned to dust, would he awaken as planned? You have already collected all ten fragments, havenât you? Even if you somehow collect this piece what about the last one? My heart goes out to Dijia. He was so close to becoming whole, but at the last moment, the collector was killed by the wretched Lord God. â
Master Lambert rubbed Bai Lixinâs belly, his eyes incredibly tender. âMy son, these worlds are the result of my long years of protection. I gave everything to this chaotic universe, but Chaos wants to kill me. Why? I am the Heaven! I am the one who should rule the universe, not be ruled by it! â
A terrible thought suddenly flashed through Bai Lixinâs mind, and he slapped Master Lambertâs hand away from his stomach and said, âYour real purpose is not to live long, but to subvert Chaos. You want to be the master! â
âIâm supposed to be above the universe, Iâm not just an orderly. That bastard Chaos is just hiding in the shadows and coveting my achievements. I wonât let him!â
âDoesnât Chaos refer to the endless energy of the universe? Why do you call him a bastard? Does he have a mind and is a god-like you? What is Chaos anyway? â
Bai Lixinâs question suddenly sent a shock through Master Lambertâs old body and brought him back to his senses.
He rubbed his eyes and smiled. âHe is the original god of this vast universe, but it doesnât matter if you know it or not.â
âWait a minute!â Bai Lixin stopped Master Lambert in his tracks, âAre you really going to kill me? If you kill me, you wonât be able to get the other ten pieces of the Lord God back! â
âI wonât get them back? So what if I canât get them back? I have absorbed enough energy from him over the years to last me ten billion years. When the ten billion years are up, Chaos would have given birth to a new Lord God. At that time, Dijia would only be a role that never appeared. Who would remember him? â
âAnd when the new Lord god is born, you will do the same thing again, seal the new god and continue to absorb his power?â
âYou are so clever that I donât want to kill you, my son. Thatâs how the last god died, and his power became my nourishment so that I could wait for Dijiaâs arrival. â
âGood boy, close your eyes, it will be over in a moment.â Master Lambert gently stroked Bai Lixinâs belly again, the softness of his hands making him feel uneasy.
âDidnât Jonas say you sent someone to kill him? He didnât lie. In his opinion, you did send someone to chase him, because I gave him the illusion. â Bai Lixinâs panic suddenly faded, and he said lightly.
A look of surprise crossed Master Lambertâs face, and he looked up at Bai Lixin. There was a flash of cold light, and Bai Lixinâs hand, which had been behind his back, suddenly reached out and thrust a sharp dagger into Master Lambertâs chest with unparalleled precision.
Master Lambert stared at his chest in disbelief as Bai Lixin put his hand to his face and wiped his hair back lightly. He picked up the walking stick and walked infront of Master Lambert, placing it against the handle of the dagger.
âNow I know all that I wanted to know. Thank you for your answers, shadow of the false gods, you impostor. â With those words, Bai Lixin used the cane to drive the dagger deeper, and before he could say anything else, Master Lambert was dead.
After taking a breath, Bai Lixin threw the cane on the ground. He looked at the mess on the ground, moved Master Lambert close to himself, lay on his back and fainted.
An hour or so later, Hallyvette rushed in with his men â¦â¦
