Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

Jade look at the people kneeling down before him with a confused expression, he couldn't seems to grasped what is going on as he was contemplating on the inside Kieran and Susan came by his side, dragging him back inside they drag him back to sit on his bed, where they told him his father the human emperor and the rest of the emperors has been killed by the void, breathing heavily as he tried to process the shocking news they had just delivered to him.

"What do you mean my father, the Heaven emperor, and the Demon emperor have all been killed by the void?" Jade asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Kieran and Susan exchanged a grim look before Susan spoke, her voice heavy with sorrow. "It's true, Jade. The void, was an ancient and powerful force beyond our comprehension, has managed to overpower and defeat your father and the other emperors. We don't know how it happened or why, but we do know that you are now the only one left with the power to potentially stop it."

Jade's hands clenched into fists, his mind racing with thoughts of revenge and justice for his fallen loved ones. "I will not rest until I have avenged my father and the others. The void will pay for what it has done. I swear it."

Kieran placed a comforting hand on Jade's shoulder, his eyes filled with determination. "We will stand by your side, Jade. We will help you in any way we can, but remember, you are not alone in this fight. We are all in this together, and together we will defeat the void."

"How long will I last if I go full dragon transformation" Jade asked. "You will still be able to put up a fight, but even with your full dragon transformation, the void is a formidable foe. The guardians have warned us that you will still die unless you can become stronger than that," Kieran responded, his voice tinged with urgency.

At that moment, the guardians entered the room, their presence was now less commanding and powerful. "Jade," one of them spoke, their voice echoing through the room, "the void is a force unlike any other. To defeat it, you must harness powers beyond your wildest imagination and push yourself to limits you never thought possible."

Jade smirked, a steely resolve in his eyes. "I will have to remove my limiter then, it's time to go all out. The void may have taken my family, but it will not take me." He look towards the two guardian and said "I will need the both you to stall for time before I will join you guys"

The guardians nodded in approval, their ancient and wise gazes acknowledging Jade's determination. "You have the will and the drive, Jade. Now, it is time to unleash the power within you. Only then can you hope to stand a chance against the darkness that threatens us all."

"What do you want us to do" Kieran and Susan step forward but Jade looks at them, then shakes his head "Stay here no matter what happens stayed away from the human realm till you, are sure the void has been dealt with" He said with a stern tone.

Kieran and Susan lowered their heads as They blamed themselves for been weak, Jade then send everyone away from his room after everyone has left his room, Jade then fell into the floor as tears were streaming down from his face, he blamed himself for fallen unconscious for three days.

Jade was lost in his grief and anger, feeling the weight of responsibility heavy upon his shoulders. But then, Susan returned to his room, her eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination. She took a deep breath before speaking.

"Jade," Susan began, her voice trembling slightly, "I cannot keep this hidden any longer. I have to confess something to you." Jade looked up, his eyes meeting hers, curiosity and apprehension mingling in his gaze.

Susan took a step closer, her heart pounding in her chest. "I... I have feelings for you, Jade. More than just friendship or allegiance. I care for you deeply, and seeing you in pain breaks my heart. I want to stand by your side, not just as a soldier, but as someone who loves you."

Jade's eyes widened in surprise, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He reached out a hand to gently touch Susan's cheek, his touch tender and comforting. "Susan... I... I don't know what to say."

Susan's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her vulnerability laid bare before Jade. "I understand if you don't feel the same way. I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I wanted you to know, regardless of what the future holds for us."

Jade's heart clenched at the sight of Susan's raw emotions, a wave of warmth washing over him. "Susan, I... I appreciate your honesty. And I want you to know that your feelings are not unrequited. I care for you too, more than I can put into words. We will face this together, as partners in battle and in life."

Chapters 40b

A sense of relief washed over Susan's features, a smile breaking through her tears. She took Jade's hand in hers, intertwining their fingers. "Thank you, Jade. I will fight by your side, no matter what challenges come our way. Together, we will overcome the darkness that threatens us."

Jade squeezed Susan's hand, a newfound strength and determination blooming within him. Jade drew his face close to Susan as he leaned closer Jade gently gave her a kiss on the lips.

Their kiss was filled with a deep, raw emotion that spoke volumes more than words ever could. It was a moment of connection, of understanding, of shared grief and newfound hope. As they parted, Susan's eyes sparkled with unspoken desire, a yearning for closeness and intimacy in the midst of chaos.

Without a word, Jade lifted Susan into his arms, carrying her to the bed where they had shared so much pain and revelation. Their eyes locked, conveying a silent agreement and an unspoken promise of mutual trust and passion.

As they embraced, their bodies moved as one, a dance of desire and longing that transcended the physical and touched the depths of their souls. Each touch, each caress, spoke of a love that had been waiting to be revealed, a fire that had been smoldering beneath the surface.

The room was filled with the sound of their whispers, their sighs, their shared breath as they gave themselves over to each other completely. In this moment, there was no past, no future, only the present, only the connection between two souls bound by fate and love.

Their bodies moved in perfect harmony, a symphony of passion and tenderness that echoed through the night. Each touch ignited a spark, each kiss fueled the flames of their desire until they were consumed by a love that was as fierce and unyielding as the void they faced.

As the night stretched on, they found solace in each other's arms, finding refuge and strength in their shared intimacy. As the morning came Jade wakes up from his bed and Susan sleeping on his bed, her angelic perfectly carved face couple along with her jet black hair makes her the perfect most beautiful demoness that ever exist.

Jade didn't disturb her as he quickly went out of his room. He had a meeting with the guardian before their journey to the human realm where Jade knew he would face the aftermath of his battle with Number 2.

The guardian stood tall and imposing, his eyes filled with a mixture of pride and concern. "Jade, you have shown great courage and strength in your recent battles," he said, his voice grave. "But the human realm is not to be taken lightly. The consequences of your actions may still linger there."

Jade nodded solemnly, his mind racing with thoughts of what he might find in the human realm. He knew that his battle with Number 2 had left scars, both physical and emotional, and he was prepared to face whatever awaited him.

With a final glance back at Susan, sleeping peacefully in his bed, then he went out and saw Kieran waiting for him outside, Kieran then bid him farewell as they journeyed towards the human realm. As they crossed over into the human realm, a sight of devastation greeted Jade's eyes. The planet's surface was scarred, molten lava seeping out of the ground, and the sky darkened with smoke and ash.

Jade's heart sank as he realized the extent of the damage caused by his battle with Number 2. The once-thriving landscape now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of the power and destruction that demons like them wielded.

But amidst the destruction, there was also a glimmer of hope. Survivors moved through the wreckage, rebuilding and tending to the wounded. Their resilience and determination to overcome the darkness inspired Jade, filling him with a determination to make amends for the destruction he had caused.

As they journeyed further into the human realm, Jade felt a sense of responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders. He knew that he needed to confront the aftermath of his battle, to face the consequences of his actions and seek redemption for the harm he had caused.
