A quiet Mortal World, as dull as ever.
Silent streets of cities unprotected from supernatural beings, each pedestrian busy with his own thoughts.
A sad feeling of loneliness and disgust. This is what Xie Qing felt as he looked at the city where he formerly lived.
He stared blankly at the many people who lived, unsuspecting of anything.
Taking a step forward, he disappeared into thin air and appeared in front of a cell in the prison.
There sat a thin woman with long black hair, green eyes, and pale skin.
Her green eyes were dull, without a hint of cheerfulness. Xie Qing squinted his eyes.
"Catherine Niveria."
The woman looked up.
"The criminal who murdered her own husband."
Xie Qing smirked and a throne was created behind him, on which he sat.
"What will be your excuse?"
Catherine did not react much to his word and only squinted, sighing heavily.
"I don't regret anything." Catherine gritted her teeth. "He deserved it."
Xie Qing propped his chin up and crossed his legs. His violet eyes lit up in the darkness, making the woman wince.
"What a pathetic sight." Xie Qing let out a quiet chuckle.
"If you don't regret anything, then why do you have such a dead look in your eyes?"
Catherine subconsciously touched her face and smiled bitterly.
"All because my happiness was taken from me... my sunshine... My child!"
At the last phrase, Catherine was already crying, her face tucked in her lap. Xie Qing watched silently.
The purple light grew brighter and her eyes took on a darker hue.
"Do you want me to get you out of here?" He looked at her indifferently.
Catherine lifted her crying face and looked at him with a chuckle.
"Will you get it out? Unfortunately, it's impossible." She shook her head and laughed softly.
Xie Qing just watched it with indifference. The old him might have convinced her...
But after 31,000 years in that space, his personality had become cold. But now Xie Qing had decided to end his past.
"Nothing is impossible for me." Xie Qing tapped indifferently on the cell grid and it turned to dust. "And, if I want something, it will be fulfilled."
Boom.
There was an explosion in the prison that startled Catherine. She stood up abruptly, but fell to the floor due to weakness in her limbs.
Xie Qing stood up, and the throne turned into little needles of purple.
"And I will prove it."
He smiled and the needles flew away, bringing desperate cries for help.
"So?"
His smile turned into a smirk and he squatted down, looking into Catherine's green eyes.
"Will you come with me?"
Behind him there was a solo explosion that destroyed everything around him. A dome appeared over Xie Qing and Catherine.
Debris collided with the dome and turned to dust. Catherine stared mesmerized at Xie Qing, unable to look away.
"Who... are you?" She asked in a slightly trembling voice.
Xie Qing smiled and brought his hand to her cheeks, gently rubbing them.
"I am your hope."
"I am the cause of your suffering."
"I am the cause of disaster and apocalypse."
"The bringer of the Apocalypse..."
His smile twisted and turned into a wide grin, revealing sharp teeth. The violet eyes glowed brightly.
"Xie Qing."
Catherine looked at Xie Qing in shock and looked away, seeing the wreckage and corpses of the prison staff.
A cute smile appeared on her face and she giggled like a child. Xie Qing also smiled and lifted her up, carrying her like a princess.
He took a step forward and space distorted, causing a bunch of explosions that nearly destroyed the entire city.
While Xie Qing was picking up Catherine's daughter, a projection appeared in the sky. In it was Xie Qing.
Of course, it was all just a recording, but absolutely everyone in the Mortal World looked up at the sky in shock.
"Good to see you, wimps."
Xie Qing was on the recording sitting on his throne, with Melissa, Aria, and Lily beside him, who were curious about his actions.
"Today I would like to declare Evolution Day... After all, the brainless monkeys will get a chance to survive."
This statement angered all the inhabitants, who stared at the projection with rage.
"Whether you get killed or not, I don't care."
"One thing is required of you..."
Xie Qing smiled predatorily, and everyone in the audience felt goosebumps crawl down their backs
"Become just one bit stronger."
Xie Qing smiled, and suddenly information popped into the minds of each of the residents.
"А?!"
"What...?"
"WHAT'S GOING ON?"
Of course there was panic. However, Xie Qing didn't really care.
...
And in Vita's space...
Xie Qing looked silently at Aria, who hugged him tightly and rubbed her cheeks against his chest.
They were naked after a stormy night. But that was not what surprised him.
His gaze slowly traveled all over the girl's body and finally reached her belly. There he felt the life energy.
"It's amazing..." He could only mutter in wonder.
"Yes! I didn't expect that at all... I woke up, and, woohoo, yup!" Aria hugged him happily, swaying left and right.
Xie Qing smiled and kissed the top of her head. Despite his anxiety, he acted bravely.
"You are not allowed to overexert yourself now." Xie Qing smiled and rubbed her hair. "Mommy has to take care of the baby, right?"
"Mm~" Aria purred, tucking her face firmly into his chest.
Xie Qing only smiled and continued stroking her until Melissa began to examine Aria.
...
"Seriously... You did it that fast?" Lily opened her mouth in shock.
"Fast, yeah... I spent 31,000 years locked up, so I didn't hold back." Xie Qing smiled bitterly and looked at Aria, who was dancing with Melissa.
They danced in a circle with glowing eyes. Even the ever-serious Melissa was smiling brightly.
During their time together, they had become like real sisters, always supporting each other.
"I have to admit, you're a lucky man... Four girls in love with you at once." Lily shook her head and smiled.
Xie Qing looked at Catherine, who was looking at Aria's belly with glowing eyes. Then he turned to Lilia, looking into her light green eyes.
"Are you among them, too?"
"W-w-what?!... No, of course not!" Lily's ears quivered violently, and a barely visible blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Is that so? Too bad..." Xie Qing comically shook his head and stood up.
He looked up at the bright sky and felt relieved. Meanwhile, Lily was throwing glances at him.
"Listen..." She suddenly spoke and her blush grew thicker.
"Yes?" Xie Qing turned with a smile.
"Would you like to... Visit the Elf World again?"
