The War God's Tribulation
The War God had to endure ten lifetimes of reincarnation.
In each lifetime, it was always with me.
He was on good terms with the Fate Immortal and reincarnated with his memories intact.
But I, in every lifetime, died at his hands, enduring the agony of a cursed love.
In the final lifetime, he slaughtered my entire family, saving me for last.
Though there was guilt in his eyes, his words were chilling to the bone:
"Mortals are just pawns in our trials. You should feel honored to be chosen by me."
Later, my soul drifted to the Nine Realms, where I encountered a man in black robes.
He was sealed by an enchanted sword. When he saw me, his eyes lit up:
"If you can pull it out, I can help you be reborn and seek revenge."
I grasped the hilt, saying icily:
"I don't want to be reborn. I want him to perish in this lifetime!"
The Sealed Demon
The sealed demon was named Kellan.
The sword embedded in his body was incredibly difficult to pull out.
He told me that only someone who died with resentment and was filled with obsession, like me, could draw the sword.
He waited a thousand years and finally found me.
The moment my hand touched the hilt, the icy aura of the sword felt like it was tearing me apart.
But I held the sword tightly, not backing down at all.
Kellan's face was covered in terrifying runes, making his features unclear. Only a pair of dark phoenix eyes could be seen:
"Yes, just like that, use more strength!"
I pressed my lips together, recalling the tragic deaths I've suffered over ten lifetimes. I didn't know where the strength came from, but I managed to pull the sword out a little.
This sword had sealed Kellan for a thousand years.
As the blade moved slightly, black demonic energy began to flow from Kellan's body.
The demonic energy flowed out like a mortal's blood, but he showed no pain. Instead, he spoke with satisfaction:
"Natalie, is that all the hatred you have?"
"It seems you still have feelings for Matthew."
I knew he was trying to provoke me, but I still furrowed my brows and darkened my expression:
"Don't mention him to me!"
With a loud shout, the sword was finally pulled out from Kellan's body with a sharp 'screech'!
At that moment, the world changed drastically.
Dark clouds gathered above our heads, and thunder and lightning struck down.
Kellan's chest continued to emit demonic energy, but with the sword removed, his seal was broken, and his previously unclear face was revealed.
He was even more strikingly handsome than Matthew.
His features were exquisite, his complexion fair, and his dark eyes sparkled with brilliance.
However, I had no time to appreciate these.
The lightning from the sky was about to hit me!
I dropped the sword and tried to fly away.
Unexpectedly, Kellan suddenly pulled me into his embrace.
"Do you want to know how to deal with these gods?"
He looked down at me, casually flicking his middle finger towards the sky.
A burst of blue light suddenly appeared.
The thunder and dark clouds in the sky instantly dissipated with his gesture.
A gentle breeze from the Nine Realms lifted his hair as he curled his lips and spoke in a deep voice:
"Only strength is the ultimate truth."
"Stay with me, and I'll lead you to the Nine Heavens to slay Matthew."
