Death Guns In Another World

Late in the night.

Alex returned home after being separated from Kuina's mother, he ate dinner with the girls, and he explained what happened without completely going into the detail.

Finally, it was time to go to sleep, and like yesterday he slept alone while the girls followed the same arrangements as yesterday night.

The moonlight in the sky gradually shone dazzlingly on the capital, bathing it in its shine.

Her Majesty Empress stood on the balcony, leaning on the railing with both hands. Her beautiful eyes looked down at the little sparks down the mountain as she seemed to be in deep thought.

The cool breeze blew, and gently flicked her golden hair and large robe backward, revealing the perfect outline of her body; moving with calm serenity while her tails danced behind her, seemingly in chorus with the cool breeze.

"Lily, are you here?" The empress' voice sounded, and her tone was extremely pleasant-sounding, revealing the tranquility of ancient wells.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The black-robed woman under the steps bowed and responded. Just now she saw the empress immersed in her thoughts, so she didn't interrupt her.

"Has the intel about what I ordered you to search come?"

"There is no new intel yet. It's impossible to track the Hero's whereabouts, almost as if he had completely disappeared from this world which I doubt. Not even our hounds can do anything.''

Lily thought for a while and added another sentence, "As for his former group, we succeeded in tracking them to the princess's hometown, Saeko's hometown but they vanished soon. Before they vanished their strengths seemed to have improved drastically, they were in the Demigod realm, the entry-level." (A/N: At the beginning of Demigod's realm.)

"I see, their personal strength is nothing to be feared if we manage to locate them quickly, what I'm more worried about is that boy Leonardo, I have the feeling that he is cooking up something and his strength would not be weaker than my son-in-law strength." The empress said with a sigh and Lily stayed silent upon hearing but how could she not know what was in the latter's mind, she had been her shadow even before Kuina was born, in a sense, she was like her sister, her confident so the empress could easily see through her and knew that right now Lily was curious about her reasoning behind what she was doing.

''Going ask anyway.'' The empress authorized Lily to ask the question which had been bothering her.

Lily bowed before asking the question that had been on her mind since she received the order to search for Leonardo and his group.

''What goal are you trying to achieve here?" Lily raised this question.

No matter hard she thought about Lily didn't arrive at a conclusive reason that could satisfy her.

''Ah!" The empress first heaved a sigh before proceeding to answer.

''The reason I'm doing this inadvertently is to help myself, my daughter, and lastly my son-in-law. They will feel grateful if I give them the whereabouts of Leonardo or his group. I will not touch them, this information alone can reduce the damage on what is to come.''

''Huh? Are you talking about the final war?" Lily asked perplexed but the empress shook her head and simply told her.

''It is not that, you'll find out soon. Please continue to search for them. I'll be leaving I'm tired, today has been fun, I guess I'll have a good sleep in while.'' The empress said before vanishing, leaving Lily standing in a daze until finally, she came back to her senses as she fumbled.

''Sigh! I wonder what kind of calamity is coming but whatever it is I have the feeling that my empress is not against it.''

Lily vanished in turn.

Meanwhile, in Alex's room upon closing his eyes, he soon drifted into the Dreamland and was sleeping soundlessly but this was short-lived because something happened that changed this.

Alex's consciousness was transferred somewhere, in some place where he faced some strange animal he had read about.

This amazing, but often-seen creature is a type of bird. It's about the size of a kiwi and has two enormous wings, four small legs, and a huge tail.

They have thin, rough skin covered in small, narrow feathers, which are usually either purple, dark silver or light silver, or a combination of these colors.

They live in frozen areas and are quite common. They're carnivores and their beaks and long tongue are ideal for eating insects.

They're crepuscular and rely on their taste buds and sight to get around. They do have short, sharp beaks, but their sense of smell is not very reliable.

They have small, beady eyes and tiny, almost hidden ears. Their heads are relatively small in comparison to their bodies.

They make sounds ranging from relatively high-pitched to low-pitched and have a fairly wide range of sounds they make to indicate discoveries, and dangers and otherwise communicate with each other.

These creatures are quite frenzied, but they minimize conflict and thus aren't very territorial. They mate once every three years and they mate and bond with a select few partners for life. Which, with their fairly long lifespans, is only normal.

Just as Alex was reminiscing about the information about this animal he had read on the internet, his surrounding changed, turning pitch black and he became light as a feather.

No gravity; just floating in the void.

This was how Alex felt now after he opened his eyes in this strange place after leaving his previous place.

He himself couldn't tell what kind of state it was, as if his soul was out of the body, drifting in what seemed to be the universe.

The body did not need to breathe, but it felt very relaxed and peaceful.

That's right, the surrounding scenery was just the space of the universe, not the in either sister's world. There was an ethereal feeling surrounding him almost as if he has died.

This is… the feeling of being dead?

Chen Rui remembered that he had seen feelings about death on the Internet. These were not obtained from the real dead people but summarized by the information that the experts told about the death and the suicide attempters. He vaguely remembered that there was extreme peace and calm as well as… unity with the universe?

Now this feeling of peace, coupled with 'traveling' in the universe. Am I dead?

Alex wondered, he could not be blamed as it was how he felt at the moment.

However, as soon as this thought entered his mind, Alex was frightened to death and soon regrets filled with.

'Seriously? I can't die like this, I've my loved ones waiting, I haven't tasted a High Elf yet, and there are still a lot of things I've yet to accomplish, so I refuse to believe that I've died for real.'

The speed of drifting felt very slow, but the process of universe time was completely opposite.

It was as if Alex was assisting in the birth of worlds, the truth of the universe.

For example, just a few seconds ago Alex witnessed the process of a sun turning from 'young' to 'twilight'. The explosion of death made the Black Prince think about the Big bang theory, how the universe was formed, and more precisely how the sun comes to be.

The electromagnetic radiation illuminated the entire solar system, forming a splendid and dazzling nebula. Many planets close by were devoured, and some of them were turned into debris.

Another planet turned into debris and universe dust after being struck by another comet. A powerful destructive crimson energy seemed to be devouring everything.

Alex felt like this crimson energy was familiar, he wished to be bathed in this crimson energy, maybe he could achieve some kind of state, something that could increase his overall strength. For some reason his forehead was itching since the apparition of this crimson energy, almost as if his third eye was threatening to forcibly come out, Alex ground his teeth and endured the pain inside his head as he continued to observe.

He saw what seemed to have been primal chaos but it was only a fleeting feeling, soon he felt mana's existence, then space, and time...

In the face of time, destruction was so simple.

Destruction was the end of everything. There was no immortality from the beginning, including the eternal beings in the legend.

The flow of time and destruction had accelerated while the explosion or annihilation in the vision had gradually become a feeling. This feeling was not fear, but a kind of faint affection as if it was some kind of innate law. Perhaps as a saying goes, life starts from creation and is the process of pursuing destruction.

Alex closed his eyes to feel the original power of destruction from his heart. He only felt that his soul was pulsing synchronously as if he was nurturing some corresponding law. He felt like this was something that must be done.

The law of destruction was in his life, the crimson energy in his hands. It started filling his soul, invigorating it.

He soon opened his eyes and looked at his hands as if he grasped some key.
