A Boxing Champion was dazed for a long time under the bath of the Coloured Glaze's eyes that were as clear as water. He was amused and said, "It's been a long time since I last saw such interesting little fellows like you. You want to settle the conflicts and slaughters in the Land of Sins? Well, come with me! "
A Boxing Champion turned around and walked to the metal throne that was made of gears and chains. He pulled the lever on the back of the throne softly, and all the gears began to rotate in cracking noises.
The throne was dissected and deformed while it was rotating slowly, turning into a spiral staircase that led to the dome of Great Iron City.
The dome of "Great Iron City" slowly blossomed like petals, revealing the deep, dark night sky that was corrupted by the bloody brilliance of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky".
A Boxing Champion led the two little fellows up the stairs and appeared at the top of Great Iron City, almost a hundred meters above the Bloody Plateau.
The two little fellows staggered and almost fell off the high castle. The wind was so strong that they almost fell off the high castle.
The towering mountains in the distance were like rotting corpses, rippling with black fog.
As far as their eyes could reach, the camp below their feet and Liberty City on the opposite side were both ablaze with lights. All the thugs and bandits were repairing their magical equipment, treating their wounds, and stuffing more high-energy synthesized food into their stomachs, preparing for the battle at sunrise the next day.
The collisions of weapons, the noises of bullets being loaded, the noises of chainswords and vibration sabers, the laughter and curses of people, the screams of wounded soldiers, and the howls of mutated beasts were congregated into a song of blood that could only be heard in the abyss of hell.
In the middle of the two battle formations, the battlefield where the fierce battle had taken place during the day was now a mess of broken stones and debris.
Some fuel and ammunition were still burning sullenly in the debris of a lot of crystal tanks. Glamorous fireballs were bursting out now and then, adding to the hazy atmosphere of the night.
Under the illumination of the colorful flames, the furtive phosphorescent flames mixed with the remnant souls of the dead souls danced strangely like drowning people. Gradually, they vanished into thin air, completely annihilated from this cruel world.
Looking down at the scene from high above, Han Te and Liu Li shuddered at the same time. It was both like an evil fairy tale and a ridiculous joke.
Looking down from such a high vantage point, people truly did not look like human beings anymore but incomplete but raging chess pieces.
"Do you see those people?"
With his hands behind his back, A Boxing Champion watched the two parties preparing for battle in silence. He said casually, "So hungry, so impatient, and so unconcerned about their own lives and those of other people's lives … Do you really think that they want to stab their chainswords into each other's stomachs and mince their internal organs because they are hungry?"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze were speechless.
"Even if you really plant Gold Barley all over the land so that everybody has enough food, even the crying babies and the powerless old men will not cry in the middle of the night because of hunger, it will still be useless. There will still be conflicts, killings, and wars!"
A Boxing Champion said coldly, one word after another. "Perhaps the Land of Sins exists for wars, and all the 'sinners' are born for wars. Wars are our destiny. That is the ultimate law of the world. Nobody can change it, and nobody can run away from it. We can only choose to kill or be killed!"
Sensing the soaring aura from A Boxing Champion's metal shell, Han Te and the Coloured Glaze shivered even harder. But when they shivered to the maximum, Han Te calmed down and gnashed his teeth. "Master A Boxing Champion, is wars so interesting? Do you like wars so much?"
"Yes. I like wars."
A Boxing Champion grinned. The smile made of metal muscle fibers was a hundred times more terrifying and violent than the hideous grin of common bandits. "I like the feeling of stabbing other people's faces with my fists and mixing the broken bones and the brains. I like the blood and meat splashing out of the chainswords. I like the smell of burning bodies of flesh and blood. I like the noises of crystal cannons and the glittering of ten thousand cannons when they are fired at the same time. I like everything. Hehe. Hehehehe!"
Han Te was rendered speechless and failed.
The Coloured Glaze, however, held the pot of Gold Barley seeds tightly and said softly but firmly, "But we feel that the world should not be like this. One day, we will figure out a way to completely quell all the wars in the Land of Sins!"
"What an audacious little girl."
A Boxing Champion's smile was more and more hideous. He leaned his metal face close to the Coloured Glaze. "The entire Land of Sins is a never-ending great battlefield. All the sinners are destined to fight to their death. How are you going to quell it? There is only one way to completely end the wars in the Land of Sins! "
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze were both dazed. They both exclaimed, "What?"
A Boxing Champion opened his arms, as if he were hugging the entire Land of Sins. His face turned from hideous to solemn immediately. "There are endless conflicts in the Land of Sins. All the major forces are focused on the Elysian Worlds. The slaughtering and conquering have never changed for hundreds of years.
"If you want them to stop the slaughtering, the ridiculous Gold Barley is not going to work. The only solution is very simple. As long as there is an unprecedented expert, he will be able to gather all the forces into an invincible, invincible army and conquer all the Desolate Worlds, the Bloody Worlds, and the Elysian Worlds!
"If the entire Land of Sins obeys the iron fists of an expert, your wish will naturally be fulfilled. There will be no more slaughtering and no more wars!"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other in bewilderment. Uncontainable coldness leaked out of their bones. They looked at A Boxing Champion as if he were a lunatic.
"No, I almost forgot. There is still something up there."
A Boxing Champion grinned and extended one of his metal fingers, pointing at the night sky. "Even if an expert can unite the entire Land of Sins and conquer all the gangs and the Elysian Worlds, he cannot end all the wars because there is still 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'! Unless the high, high, most glorious City in the Sky is conquered, that will be the final war, won't it? "
Han Te swallowed hard and breathed heavily. "Master A Boxing Champion, do you want to unite the entire Land of Sins?"
A Boxing Champion laughed in silence, baring his glittering steel teeth. "Probably. Liberty City is just my starting point. After I trample Liberty City, I will march to other Elysian Worlds and swallow them one after another. In the end, it will be 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'!
"Therefore, if you want to go to 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', I'm afraid that I won't be of much help. But I may be able to take it down. Then, you can go to the debris of the City in the Sky and find the answer yourself!"
Coloured Glaze blurted out, "You — you want to take down the City in the Sky?"
"Have you never thought about it?"
A Boxing Champion looked at the bloody Flower of the Other Shore in the sky. "I never felt that its brilliance was dazzling. I want to blow it down and drag out all the 'angels' inside so that I can see how different they are from us."
Han Te trembled hard and stammered, "But — but all our assets are from the City in the Sky. We won't succeed in a war against the City in the Sky, will we?"
"What does that matter?"
A Boxing Champion said. "How boring are the wars that are guaranteed to be won? Only the wars that are certain to be lost are worth challenging and enjoying!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze were silent again. A moment later, they asked at the same time, "Master A Boxing Champion, why are you telling us that? We — we are just two Nobodies that are not worth mentioning at all!"
"Nothing. Maybe it's because I'm about to embark on the journey of my destiny, and I can't wait to talk to a random Nobody. Or maybe —"
A Boxing Champion looked at the two little fellows. His scorching eyes passed their shoulders and fell on Li Yao not far away. "I've discovered that we are the same kind of people. We are both whimsical lunatics!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze felt that their faces were burning. They were rather flattered, but they vaguely realized that A Boxing Champion's words were probably not meant for them but for 'Grandpa Yao'.
A Boxing Champion and Grandpa Yao were the same kind of people. What were they playing at?
The two little fellows couldn't figure it out at all.
Not just them, even Li Yao had no idea what A Boxing Champion was up to. He only vaguely felt that 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie seemed to have misunderstood something …
"Today, we have found out the real situation of Liberty City. My army, except for the elites of the 'Godly Fist Union', is made of half-hearted mobsters. It is impossible for us to besiege and exhaust them for a long time."
A Boxing Champion said, "While the morale is still high, we must launch a real assault tomorrow. The battle by then will certainly be a hundred times more gory than today. It is not suitable for the two little fellows from the Desolate Worlds like you. So, just stay in my 'Great Iron City' together with this spiritual puppet!"
Li Yao was surprised again. Han Te and Coloured Glaze were even more confused. They did not understand why A Boxing Champion was so close to them and gave them such preferential treatment.
"But our companions …"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze hesitated.
"I will certainly arrange for your companions to stay by my side. They will not be mistreated."
A Boxing Champion gestured and said irrefutably, "After all, you are just a temporary team. I don't believe that they will care about your whereabouts. After we conquer Liberty City, let's talk through the night and fulfill each other's absurd dreams!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze were still in a daze when A Boxing Champion disappeared into the darkness of Great Iron City.
"Grandpa Yao …"
They looked at Li Yao with the most puzzled eyes.
"I don't know what happened, either."
