Chapter 825: Guess who’s back? Back inside
It honestly didn’t take too long for Zhen Liu and the kaijin to reach the bottom of stairways leading to the main lobby.
Due to most of them being about as strong, if not stronger, than an Aether Grandmaster, the kaijin and Zhen Liu’s physical capabilities were fairly absurd at this moment in time.
Granted, not every problem or issue could be resolved with physical brute force. A fact that the kaijin and their leader were about to be reminded of in a very particular way.
Shortly after reaching the bottom steps and seeing that a door way leading to his family had just opened up, Zhen Liu proceeded to turn towards the kaijin in order to better address them.
‘Alright everybody, some ground rules before we enter this chamber and deal with both the rampaging Parasin and my family’s prescene.”
[Okay…]
“Move fast, don’t get hijacked and make sure not to injure any of my family members while recapturing Paralust. Understood?”
[What about that trio of spies?]
“Usually protocol, just toss them to the side and we’ll scramble their memories and shit later…or maybe do something else.”
[Understood.]
“Okay, cool.”
For the first time in a while, Zhen Liu felt confident that a plan of his, as haphazard as it was, was finally going to go as he envisioned it.
That wasn’t going to be the case in the slightest.
“Alright, let’s-”
*SMACK!*
“Huh?”
[BWAAAAAAAAAHHH!]
Because in the exact moment he was about to go out there and lead the kaijin in a coordinated effort to not only gaslight his family but also recapture his accidental creation, that aforementioned accidental creation got bitch slapped so hard that she was sent flying towards the stairway exit Zhen Liu and the kaijin were about to walk out of.
Zhen Liu went wide eyed as Paralust’s textureless form was sent flying towards him and the kaijin like a succubus shaped projectile.
‘Ah shit.’
[Protective action!]
[We can’t! Not enough room to move in here!]
[Maestro!]
[Fuck!]
[Duck!]
On a mix of instinct and good reaction times, Zhen Liu and the kaijin managed to at least duck their heads down fast enough in an attempt to avoid coming into contact with Paralust.
Unfortunately, they forgot to factor in two things when they performed this action of theirs.
Firstly, the kaijin were of various different heights, sure, but a good chunk of them leaned towards being very tall. This meant that most attempts to dodge would always be a little…dodgy, given the height difference.
Second, and most importantly, they all completely forgot that a small portion go Shen Liu’s, soul was just so happened to be in the arms of their tallest kaijin, Frosttusk.
Zhen Liu felt a small twinge of relief when he saw Paralust soar over his head…only to have his expression go screwy the moment he felt Paralust come into contact with the chunk of his soul that was connected to a ball of mixed natural aether flames.
[Uh oh.]
[Minn jarl!]
[Young Master!]
‘Stay…back…’
…
Wave after wave of unmitigated lust began to surge through Zhen Liu’s soul as he felt Paralust latch onto the ball of fused natural flames.
‘Oh boy…starting to feel like I should open up my own public sex dungeon…and establish a harem of comely women and feminine men while I’m at it…’
However, those feelings of lust were soon replaced with waves of violent urges.
‘And then I’ll destory a couple dozen cities…and literally skull fuck someone…that’s a new feeling…’
However, just as Zhen Liu was about try and become an even more sexualized version of Genghis Khan, something weird happened…again.
While Zhen Liu couldn’t exactly see it, he could feel that something internally was acting up. To be more precise, he could feel that his formula was acting up in regards to Paralust’s sudden reattachment to his soul.
Granted, when he tried to verbalize this feeling in his own thoughts, it came out rather…odd.
‘Why does my stomach feel like it’s ballooning in size several times over? I haven’t vored anybody,’
Moments after this thought occurred, Zhen Liu could feel his formula kick into high gear as [Chaos] suddenly surged out of it and flowed towards Paralust and the ball of fused aether flames.
‘Oh, something’s coming…’
Zhen Liu wasn’t entirely cognizant about what was going on in this moment, but he could feel that his connection to Paralust and his connection to the ball of fused aether flames were becoming intertwined with each other before becoming one.
Things got even weirder though when Zhen Liu noticed some words appearing in his head that seemed to overpower the lustful thoughts from before.
[Oh wandering soul, oh unmoored mind, heed the call of the Kaijin Lord and use me as thine anchor…]
Whatever was happening though had weakend Zhen Liu to the point that while he wasn’t unconscious, he wasn’t able to maintain standing for too long…
…
[Uh…oh…]
[Oh hey, Frosttusk is going back to his usual speed…and the director is…not unconscious again, but we should probably get him out of here,] Razorstella pointed out.
[Yeah, let’s go!,] Nepherage agreed while picking up Zhen Liu’s gibbering mess of a body.
[What about our lord’s family and that trio?,] Screamira pointed out.
[Uh…]
[I don’t think Lacerage and I go out there in our disguises…,] Archanidame freely admitted due to her secret identity.
[Wait a minute…,] Spring Brawler interjected. [Maybe we can use our disguises…Hurricroak, Screamira. Follow my lead.]
[Uh…okay.]
[Sure.]
[Logos, Pathos. Are Japser and Janice in any condition to move about?]
=They’re completely fine.=
[Have them come downstairs. I have an idea…]

*SMACK!*
“Whoa!”
“What the fuck?”
“Oh that just had to hurt.”
The Zhen Clan scions, and the accompanying young women, stood there with mildly shocked expressions of admiration as they watched the Seventh Lady of the Zhen Clan proceed to slap the unknown entity out of the air and flying towards a nearby wall.
*BOOM!*
“Holy-!”
An explosion of dust, smoke and sound occurred once the entity made impact with the aforementioned wall and crashed right through it.
“Apologies for that, children. I wasn’t expecting a fly to appear so suddenly.”
“A..fly?”
“Yes. A fly.”
“S-sure…”
In this exact moment, the scions of the Zhen Clan, and the young women associated with Zhen Liu, were reminded that Zhen Liu’s mother was scary person despite carrying a soft demeanor…which provided a lot of context to Zhen Liu and Jin Fang’s sudden shifts in behavior in certain situations.
Jin Fang couldn’t help but to notice the sheer amount of gazes being pointed in her direction after Daria’s concussive slap.
“Why are y’all staring at me for?”
“No reason…”
“Oi! What the fuck?!,” a completely new voice suddenly interjected.
“More unexpected arrivals?”
“I think this counts as expected.”
Coming from the recently destroyed wall, a young man about the same age as the scions suddenly appeared out of nowhere and began to inspect the newly formed hole that wasn’t there moments ago.
The man had this strangely youthful charm to him, despite being surprisingly tall and lean, and radiating a level of power that seemed to be on par with the surrounding scions. That said, the scions couldn’t help but feel that this unusual young man felt…familiar.
“Hey…is it just me, or does he remind anyone else of-‘”
“How the hell did all of this happen?! Goddammit this will take weeks to fix!”
The young man proceeded to inspect the hole and pile of rubble for a several moments, cursing all the while, before turning his attention towards the scions, Daria, Jin Fang, Jinju Ren and Rianna.
On the young man’s face was an expression that didn’t read as him being angry, but it did read as if he was incredibly annoyed at the moment.
“Oy! Are you guys the one responsible for this giant mess?!,” the young man shouted at the Zhen Clan scions. “I literally just finished cleaning it up the last time this happened. What do you all have to say for yourselves?! And why is there a trio of naked men lying on the floor? Are you all perverts?”
“Uh…”
Evidently, the young man had attributed the giant hole in the wall to the Zhen Clan scions, due to their young ages and the fact that they look like they’ve been through hell and back.
Needless to say, the scions were flabbergasted at this sudden verbal attack after going through…whatever the hell this day was at this point.
Thankfully for them, they got a bail out in the form of Daria Nerissa-Zhen.
“Pardon me, young sir, but the originator of that hole was actually me.”
“Huh?”
…
“Wait a minute…isn’t that Spring-”
“Shhh. Don’t say a word…”
“What the hell is he doing?”
“Not entirely sure…but I get the feeling this is being done without Xiao Liu’s supervision…”
“Hold up…why do I suddenly sense auras of death mixed with lighting?”
