Chapter 995 Avenging Naiad

Chapter 995 Avenging Naiad

??-----

"Let go of me, you filthy beasts, you damned maggots!" Yin Shang roared, slowly cutting through the chains as he attempted to free himself from our restraints. However, my chains in specific kept regenerating, being part of my very soul.

"You're not going anywhere, Yin Shang!" I smiled. "Now, stay still and fucking die already!"

"NOOOO!!!"

The demonic cultivator kept struggling, fighting, unleashing magic, techniques, everything! He tried to turn into sludge but could not, he tried to infect my chains but could not, he was trying everything, even begging.

"Please I will change my ways! I will do good! Don't kill me! Please don't negate the privilege of living to another person!"

"That's rich coming from you, you bastard!"

Eustace's voice echoed from above Yin Shang, the titanic sword swiftly going down Yin Shang's entire body at the same time. An explosion of pure azure light was unleashed, endless waves of divine spirit water washing over the demonic cultivator, his body turning growing weaker and falling apart.

"EUSTACEEEE… YOU… BASTARD!"

He kept struggling even as he was being cut down into two halves, thousands of tentacles sprouting out of both halves in that split second, punching through the sea dragon's body.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, the sea dragon's eyes turned green, as countless wind blades cut through Yin Shang's tentacles and then turned them all into ashes as they combusted into azure spirit flames.

"AAARRGGGHHH…!"

The Dark Pest was slowly being sliced apart, the azure sword, Eustace himself, battled against the demonic cultivator within their mindscape, which I could clearly see with my Mind Domain.

"I won't let you beat me! I cannot die here! I CAN'T! All I've been built, everything I've been working so hard for will be for nothing! Eustace, you damned mutt! You should have never gotten yourself on my path!"

Yin Shang appeared at his truest self, resembling a youthful, white-skinned man with sharp red eyes and long, black hair wearing traditional black and red Chinese clothes. He was viciously punching the soul of Eustace, a handsome brown-haired man wearing gray armor.

"You bastard! You're the one that killed my friend! You're the one that got in our way! I told you I wouldn't let you go after all the suffering you have done to others! This is what we call Karma back home, you son of a bitch!"

However, despite looking overwhelmed, Eustace kicked the cultivator's face and then pushed him down, punching his face constantly, making his nose bleed and turning his eyes purple. He was giving him a beating of his entire lifetime.

"This is for all the good people you've unjustly killed, for everyone that couldn't take revenge themselves! Every single fucking punch, YIN SHAAAANG!"

"You barbarian of a lower world…! Ugh, how dare you! T-To me, the great-!"

SLAAAAAASSHH!!!

Before the cultivator could finish his last words, the sword slashed through him once and for all. His soul, his very being, and even… his Origin, were all split and then destroyed.

"A-Ah…"

He couldn't even muster a last insult before his entire being faded away within the mindscape. And outside, his corpse fell down into the floor, collapsing into a lifeless sludge. The Evil God Fragment was still there, but perhaps too exhausted and now dormant.

The sea dragon quickly collapsed down, as the ones in the core fell over the floor, I quickly caught them with a huge Selene's Palm and gently placed them over the floor, before swiftly encompassing the rest of the corpse with a giant shadow net and swallowing everything in it.

Yin Shang soul fragments were still there, so I ate them all and started to slowly unravel his memories, which I left in the backburner for now. I quickly absorbed the dormant Evil God Fragment and also all the sludge left behind, it was all rich in Chaos, Miasma, and Spirit Essence!

However, I quickly separated the rest that wasn't just leftovers, taking it apart it into the shape of a huge mass of blue crystals, this was perhaps what remained of Naiad, crystals formed out of her body's spiritual essence, which she used to seal Yin Shang.

"This is all I could recover of Naiad's body." I offered this to Eustace and Celes. "It seems she sacrificed herself completely, giving away her physical body and turning it into spirit crystals to cage Yin Shang inside."

"Naiad…" Eustace sighed, as he touched the blue crystals, sensing a faint glow within. "We've avenged you… We've finally… avenged everyone. I hope you can now finally rest in peace, wherever your consciousness has gone. Because I know your soul is there, with that little hero right there." He gently patted Celes head.

"I wish I could bring her back…" Celes cried. "I didn't wish to have her soul… Can't I take her out and put her here?"

"No, that's impossible." I said. "Her soul is your own, Celes. To do that would mean… to kill you. Never consider such a thing. And even… if that could be done, there's nothing saying Naiad would ever come back, it would only be a clean slate again."

"Ahh…" Celes sighed, feeling rather hopeless about it.

"Don't worry, Celes. We did what we could." Nia smiled. "We've all grown to reach this point… And you're my dear son, Naiad is resting, and you're you."

"T-That's right, I didn't mean to say anything else." Eustace nodded. "Celes, just be yourself. And don't let the knowledge about the origin of your soul ever change who you are, and what you're growing up to be."

"Yeah!" Nyx smiled cutely, holding the boy's hands.

Celes quickly blushed as he saw my daughter all up close to him.

"Well done Celes! We did it together!" She hugged him tightly and gave him a little kiss on his cheek. The boy was so red he looked like a tomato now.

"N-Nyx kissed m-meee?! Uwaaahhh!" He was already in the clouds.

"Heheh! You're cute!" Nyx was too innocent to think of any implications, and well, Celes too.

"I would love to just watch this scene a bit longer, but we need to get going." Lucifer said. "Reinforcements are needed at the surface now."

"Right." I nodded. "Pharaoh, are you done with it?"

"Almost done!" Suddenly, something gigantic and metallic came hovering from the underground floors, controlled by the Pharaoh. "Hahaha! I got it to work somehow! The Starship's first half!"
