This courtyard was located on the outskirts of the city.
On the left was a dense forest, while on the right was an open grassland. Not far away, one could see the undulating mountain peaks.
Feng Ye carried a fishing rod and a bucket of water as he leisurely walked into the forest. About several hundred meters into the forest, there was a wide river that passed through the dense forest.
"You gave up your only chance to escape.
I'm someone who cares about fairness the most. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity, then don't blame me for not being fair to you. "
Feng Ye revealed a faint smile as he walked.
The entire courtyard was surrounded by an invisible barrier that he had created. However, when he came out just now, the barrier was still open in the direction of the main entrance.
If Bombietta tried to escape from the manor after he came out, she could indeed escape from the manor. But it was a pity that she didn't do so.
For Bombietta, that was the only possible ending for this game.
That might have been the game's only HE — the perfect ending. Unfortunately, she missed this opportunity.
Feng Ye actually didn't have any particular dislike for the Annihilators.
The reason was simple. Just as the Death Gods had said, the war from thousands of years ago wasn't about defending justice. That was because both the Death Gods and the Annihilators were actually righteous.
The Death Gods' explanation for that war was that when they killed Hollows and Soul Destroyers, they would send Hollows to the real world so that the Soul Destroyers and Soul Destroyers would form a cycle between the real world and Soul Corpse World. Meanwhile, the Annihilators would directly kill Hollows and not send them to the other world. If this continued, the balance between Soul Corpse World and the real world would be lost, which would cause the world to collapse.
Due to this irreconcilable conflict, the Death Gods and the Annihilators had a decisive battle.
But in reality.
The Annihilators' explanation was that it was fine as long as the Death Gods didn't send Hollows and Soul Destroyers to the other world. That way, the balance wouldn't be lost.
In other words, if all the Death Gods disappeared and stopped sending Hollows to the real world, then the Annihilators would kill Hollows in both Soul Corpse World and Soul Corpse World at the same time. In that case, the overall balance would still be stable.
However, both the Death Gods and the Annihilators firmly believed that what they were doing was correct.
Since neither side was willing to compromise, then in order to maintain the balance, only one race could exist between the Death Gods and the Annihilators. That was why the Thousand Year Blood War had started.
For Feng Ye, who stood at the peak of the sky, he viewed both the Death Gods and the Annihilators equally. That was why how to deal with the Annihilators was a small problem.
This time, Feng Ye had come here with the intention of solving this problem.
Currently, he was still considering what to do.
Feng Ye continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, he arrived at the riverbank and added some bait to his fishing hook. He then cast the hook and began to leisurely fish.
Several dozen kilometers upstream, there were also people riding on horses rushing to the riverbank with fishing gear.
Fishing was a very joyful thing, but if you were riding a horse to fish in the wild, you had to pay more attention to tying up the horse. Otherwise, if you caught fish but lost your horse, it would not be worth it.
Annihilators were different from the Death Gods. They were still fundamentally human and possessed physical bodies. That was why the Invisible Empire was more similar to the Main World than the Soul Corpse World. Moreover, this place was also connected to the Main World.
However.
Only the members of the Celestial Cross Knights had the ability to use the Shadow Domain to leave the Invisible Empire and enter other spaces.
Around the time that Feng Ye was fishing, a thousand kilometers away, in the King's City of Yinjia, a violent shock occurred in one of the aristocratic families, the Bombietta Family.
The young lady, Bathita, had gone missing!
As one of the only three members of the Bombietta Family with second-grade bloodline, the young lady who had the potential to become a Celestial Cross Knight, Bathita's disappearance had undoubtedly caused a violent shock in the entire family. In a short period of time, a large number of knights were mobilized to investigate.
Although the Bombietta Family didn't have a Celestial Cross Knight, they were still an extremely prominent family among the annihilators. They had great influence, and a large number of annihilators would take action with a single order.
At the same time.
The Bombietta Family also questioned the other large families. There weren't many people who dared to lay their hands on their young lady. The marriage of Bathita, who had second-grade bloodline, was also a thorn in the other families' eyes. After all, the other aristocratic families didn't want the Bombietta Family to have a Celestial Cross Knight.
If that happened, they would all have to submit to each other.
All the large families denied Miss Bombietta's disappearance. Without any evidence, the Bombietta Family couldn't do anything about it. They could only make a stern statement. Once they found out that the matter was related to a certain family, even if they reported it to the Celestial Cross Knights, they wouldn't let it go.
However, the Invisible Empire was huge. It was even bigger than the Quiet Soul Court. Apart from Yinja City, there were countless towns of various sizes.
The commotion in Yinja City only affected the nearest towns overnight. The towns further away were still quiet.
At the same time.
In the center of Yinja City, at the entrance of the palace, a man with light blonde hair stood there. He was handsome and had a noble temperament. His appearance was similar to Maple Night.
He was the captain of the Celestial Cross Knights and Yhwach's personal bodyguard. He was also the person who inherited Yhwach's omnipotent power when Yhwach was asleep.
Yuglan Hathward!
"It's already so dark. Hugo, why are you still here?"
A figure walked out from the back of the palace. He was Buzby, a member of the Celestial Cross Knights. He used to be Yuglan's childhood friend, and he addressed Yuglan differently from the others.
Yugelan gazed towards the north. The direction he was looking at was the direction where Feng Ye was located. However, he was unable to see or sense Feng Ye's existence.
All he felt was an indescribable uneasiness.
"I feel … uneasiness."
Yuglan stood there and spoke in a low voice.
Buzby frowned slightly and said, "You must be mistaken."
Yuglan didn't reply immediately and continued to look into the distance. After a few seconds of silence, he turned to look at Buzby and said in a low voice, "… I hope so."
After saying this, he walked down the stairs.
The king of annihilators!
900 years to retrieve the heartbeat,
90 years to retrieve the consciousness,
9 years to retrieve the power,
9 days … to seize the world!
This was a saying that circulated in the Invisible Empire, and it was the holy scripture of countless annihilators. This was the power of their faith.
More than 900 years had passed since the battle against the Gotei 13. His Majesty had already retrieved his heartbeat and was slowly retrieving his consciousness.
There were still 77 years left.
As Yhwh Bach's personal bodyguard and the leader of the Celestial Cross Knights, he had waited for far too long. He didn't want any accidents to happen to Yhwh Bach's resurrection.
"Hugo …"
"You …"
Buzby frowned and looked in the direction Yuglan was looking at. However, all he could see was darkness. He couldn't see or sense anything else.
In the end, he shook his head and threw this matter to the back of his mind before walking down.
