Two hours passed before Bai and Renxue opened again their eyes and stood up. Their armors were almost repaired, with their energy nearing their peak. Perks of being a god and being able to freely use your element to recover your own energy.
"Xuexue" Bai said seriously, holding Renxue's both hands "Before completely accepting me, you must know that I have other women that I love and I want to be with them. I know that I am a bastard that don't deserve any of you, but I love you all, I can't abandon or negate any of you."
Renxue glanced at Bai, some killing intent was in her eyes, but it wasn't directed at him "One is the light girl, who are the others?" She asked with a cold voice.
"Apart from Bai Chenxiang, you never met the other one. She is called Xie Lingling, is a very sweet and warm woman, I will introduce you later" Bai explained "But never forget it, Xuexue. I love you and this will never change even if I love the other. But you must promise me that you won't try to injure them."
Renxue kept her cold air, but finally she nodded "While you are always with me and love me, I will let those two be around. I won't injure them" (At least permanently. I'll need to show them who is the first in Bai's heart) She thought with devil thought crossing her mind while in the exterior she was making a holy smile.
"Thanks, Xuexue. You're the best" Bai leaned over Renxue, lightly lifting her chin and kissing her. It was a slow, tender and warm kiss, nothing like the forced one that was their first. Before Bai's tongue invasion, Renxue felt that she was about to melt, her legs started trembling as a little moan left her mouth.
Breaking the kiss, Renxue was panting finding air, showing how inexperienced she was in love. Her face was deep red.
"You're truly beautiful" Bai smiled caressing her cheek gaining a deeper shade of red from her "Don't laugh at me, Bai"
Bai was stunned, that red and pitiful look in her eyes with the holy nature of her form, plus the contrast with her usual character, created a powerful impression that made Bai's heart skip a beat. His inner self shouting to take her in this instant.
Bai breathed profoundly, calming himself, saying to himself that it was no time for this.
"Xuexue" Bai looked directly at Renxue's eyes with a serious face "What is your desire for this war?"
"My desire?" Renxue made a doubt face.
"I will say it, this war is nothing important for me. Before, I thought about the implications of the war and searching for the peace of the continent, but I found what is important for me. I want to protect my family, making sure that they strive forward without being suppressed" Bai stated "I don't really care who is the winner. If your desire is for the Spirit Empire to win and take over the continent, I will help with it. As I promised, I will be always at your side."
Renxue made a thoughtful look and stayed quietly thinking for a minute. Renxue lifted her face looking at the sky "The only reason that I participated in this war is due to my grandpa. He was the only that showed me familiar love when I was little and I always respected him. His dream was to extend our name and the Angel Goddess to all the continent, for this purpose, he decided to invade and unify all the continent."
"If it is what you want, I don't mind making you the empress of all" Bai took Renxue's hands, warmly caressing them.
Renxue smiled warmly but shook her head "No. My grandpa was wrong with his methods" Renxue said "Angel will not be happy with it. We had abandoned the true purpose of the angels, to fight evil forces and warmly illuminated this world with our holy light."
She made a very determined look "I want to stop the war, disband the Spirit Empire, creating a new organization. One that will make the world a better and brighter place where the people can't forget the suffering or at least lowering it."
"It might be a silly dream, but it is what I really desire" Renxue smiled lightly.
Bai nodded "Let's do it. Together, who would dare to stop us"
Renxue nodded smiling brightly "Yes!" Suddenly, Renxue thought of something else and made a downcast expression "Bai, one last thing. I want to talk with my mother. She always avoided looking at me, the only few times, only looking me with contempt. I want to resolve it, I want to listen to her reason, learning why she did it. After grandpa and you, she is the only mind demon that I need to clean."
Bai could explain Bibi Dong's reasons due to his previous life memories, but he decided to not do it. This was something about Renxue and her mother, not some novel's characters. The only that had the right to tell Renxue should be her own mother.
"I'll help you" Bai stated "I will make sure that you are able to talk with your mother alone."
"Thanks, Bai" Renxue smiled "Let's go to finish this senseless war." Both spread their wings, flapping them flying towards the battleground.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In front of Spirit City, at the Holy plain the battle started again at full strength. Once Renxue had left the battlefield by the mysterious gray flash, a great intense strength could be felt as they fight, making everyone to know that the gray flash was in true another god.
With the intense battle of two gods, humans were frightened to even fight. In the end, a god could easily turn the side of any battle, the winner of the battle of gods would undoubtedly be the final winner.
However, after half an hour without any divine energy detected, the allied forced started pushing forward, attacking the Spirit Empire while they were without their goddess. Even if their goddess didn't die, it was clear that at least it should be injured. They must take advantage of this fact to decimate the rival army.
Without Renxue's Truth, the Spirit Empire found the tables had turned again, against them. Finding themselves highly suppressed by the allied forces.
Golden Crocodile Douluo seeing the situation it wasn't in their favor was about to command withdraw, escaping towards Spirit City. He wanted to minimize the damage at the City as after the loss of Qian Daoliu, the holy and divine protection that surrounded the city had been erased, making the city almost unprotected without tall walls and fortifications. But, at least, they would gain a little time for Renxue to return.
Just as he was about to command, two figures appeared over the horizon, a gray and a golden one. They had such a great speed that instantly appeared over the battlefield, showing their faces and divines aura across the battlefield. They were Bai and Renxue, each one next to the other. Their presence was strong that the soldiers instantly stopped fighting.
Golden Crocrodile Douluo's face illuminated with hope seeing the golden figure. With the older elder priests alive, he bowed towards her "Young mistress!"
"Elder Yin" Renxue nodded at him. She turned to all the priests and the soldiers fighting in the battle, holy aura extending over her. Making "There's no need for more sacrifices, this war shall stop now!" She commanded with great dignity, her voice resounding all over the battlefield.
"You want to stop it just like this, you are too naive Renxue" A powerful and evil voice resounded scoffing, clashing with Renxue's holiness.
Over the sky a figure appeared surrounded by a deep and ominous purple aura, 10 spirit rings surrounding her, the 10th shined with golden purple divine light making it known that she was a goddess. Her face was pale with some green tint, while her hair was a deep purple color. Her red blood eyes shined with strong killing intent. She was wearing a black and purple armor that hugged her curves, with a long purple cloak at her back and a two meters long purple and green scythe in her hands.
Her aura started covering all the battlefield, causing people to tremble in fright, it was like a evil god had surged from hell.
Looking at her, Renxue unconsciously said in shock and surprise "Mother?!"
She was, in fact, Renxue's mother, Bibi Dong. She had broken through, reaching godhood, becoming the Rakshasa Goddess.
Bibi Dong looked with contempt at Renxue, coldly saying "Never call me that, Renxue"
"What are you doing here, Bibi Dong?!" Yin Eyu asked, not being able to discern her intentions.
"Like Renxue, I will stop this battle. However" She smiled with a devilish and charming smile "No one will leave alive from here!"
"Agh!" "Hgrr!" Shouts and cries came from the 4 remaining elder priests, except Golden Crocodile Douluo, all of them being impaled by dark spikes at their heart, instantly dying.
"What's this?!" Golden Crocodile shouted in fury and confused.
"Cr!" Like appearing from nowhere, a hand covered by black gloves surged from Golden Crocodile's chest, holding his heart. An arm had completely empaled Golden Crocodile's body, taking his heart.
Eyu with his last strength before dying turned his face around, seeing the culprit. A man had appeared from nowhere surrounded by pure darkness.
He was an average tall but handsome man with shining short black hair and eyes that were hidden by black glasses, his facial features were cold and sharp, not showing any emotion in them. He was wearing a long black coat that covered all his body, his hands were covered by black leather gloves and over his feet, he was wearing black leather boots.
Surrounding him, there were 10 spirit rings, the 10th one pure black that shadowed his other 10.000 spirit rings. Even when it showed that he was a god, no aura could be felt from him, closing your eyes was enough to think that there was no one there.
"Y-you!" Golden Crocodile cursed with his last strength "I should have known it, I should have killed you before, Xiaogang!" The black-coated man was in true, Yu Xiaogang who had become the Darkness God.
"You are right" Xiaogang coldly said squeezing the heart in his hands, destroying it. The light in Golden Crocodile's eyes was lost. Xiaogang pushed away the corpse that like a rock fell to the ground creating a little crater, completely dead. Darkness covered Xiaogang's arm, not a single trace of blood remaining over it.
"What are you doing!?" Shouted Renxue stunned.
"You don't understand it yet?" Bibi Dong scoffed "All of you will die now. Xiaogang!"
"Of course" Xiaogang nodded at Bibi Dong. Darkness appeared in front of him, Xiaogang extended his right hand over the darkness, extracting a dark book from it. The book shined with a dark light, strange runes formed by pure darkness were written all over it. At the cover, it could be read "10 Great Core Spirit Competencies".
Xiaogang opened the book or grimoire would be a better name to describe it. In the first page, it was written "1st edition." Followed by a dedicatory "To Bibi Dong. This is all my knowledge, but it would never surpass my love for you."
This was in truth Xiaogang's divine tool. Taking as a base the most important for him and absorbing the powers of the Darkness God to be created. It was a combination of his ambition of knowledge and his love towards Bibi dong, being the first book that he wrote and gifted to her.
Xiaogang extended the grimoire over his palm, its pages passing away by an invisible force as the darkness around it grew "No light shall exist. World. Fall to darkness!" The grimoire started shining brightly with black color. The black lines patters around the grimoire extended over the book towards outside, expanding and covering all the sky.
"
This day, the continent fell in pure darkness, this day would be remember as the day that darkness swallowed the world, the Darkest Night.
