"Why are you shouting so early? I haven't even started yet," Ivan said, his tone cold and ruthless as he got on top of him.
"Now I'll kill you with my own hands. I'll punch you to death," Ivan coldly said while Andrei was still shouting in pain, gripping his head.
Without waiting for his response, Ivan punched his nose, a cracking sound coming from it, indicating that his nose broke.
"Ahhhh," he shouted even more, his tone filled with bloody pain.
But Ivan didn't stop at that, as he continued to punch the same spot repeatedly.
"Ahhhh"
"Pleaseeeeeee"
"Stopppppppp"
"I-I beg youuuu," Andrei shouted with all his might, his voice filled with unimaginable pain as his face had been distorted, his face unrecognizable, but it fell on deaf ears as Ivan continued.
Even though Andrei did everything in his power to throw him off to the ground, Ivan didn't even budge, and he continued.
...
[30 minutes later...]
After 30 minutes of punching, Andrei had already died, but Ivan continued to punch. By now, Andrei's head bone was broken into pieces, but still, he didn't stop.
While this was happening, there was one girl who had her mouth covered by her hands, on the verge of vomiting, and it was no other than Maria who had a disgusted expression.
'W-why isn't he stopping? Hasn't he already killed him? Why is he still punching him?' Maria thought as she stood up, gathering the courage as she said, "Please stop now!!"
"He's already dead!!" she said, but her plea fell on deaf ears once again as he continued punching him, his eyes so cold that it was hard for Maria to recognize him as a human anymore.
"M-monster." As she muttered that, Ivan stopped punching the dead Andrei as he turned his head at her, which made her heartbeat stop for a second before he stood up.
And as he walked toward her, she stepped back, fear evident in her eyes after seeing such brutality.
"N-no," she muttered, but Ivan continued walking toward her and then walked past her, which made her let out a sigh of relief.
And as she walked toward the dead Andrei to see his state, she had her world turned upside down, as by now, there wasn't even a face anymore. His face was distorted into something inhumane.
Blood was all over his face, and the expression that she concluded he had at his last breath was that of a shocked one filled with fear.
"H-how bruta—" as she was about to say that, suddenly, a Bam sound sounded behind her as she started to feel some pain in her stomach.
With much effort, she turned her head back to Ivan with a questioning expression.
"W-...why?" she muttered with difficulty as she fell to the ground.
"I thought we were in the same boat?" she said, her expression turning into confusion, wondering why she was shot.
"Blame your luck that you had to be born into the Vorontsov family..." Ivan said before he shot her a few more time, making sure that she died, before Maria closed her eye, she had that devastated look on her face after being betrayed by her only ally, Ivan.

[Ivan's POV...]
"After all these years of hard work, I finally achieved my revenge," i said, a crazy smile spreading across my face.
"Mom... I finally avenged you!" I said as a tear drop from my right eye and then I looked at the ceiling with a smile.
"Now... I can finally die in peace...." saying that, I aimed a pistol at my head.
"I..can finally meet you again... mom!" Saying that, he smiled before shooting himself in the head.
Bam
...
As he shot himself in the head, he fell to the ground and If one looked closely at his face, they would be shocked to see a happy smile instead of the usual regretful expression most people have when they die.

[Divine Realm]
[Shung Clan]
Shung Clan, one of the strongest clans in the Heavenly Divine Realm that is believed to be the last realm one can ascend after the 7th Immortal Realm.
(A/N: Realm here right now is referring to world/plane and not the stage.)
It has a history that goes back to even before the era of the gods, the first era of cultivation, and it has been billions of years since the era of gods.
And right now, in the Shung Clan's Divine Birth Chamber, where only the wife and concubines of the patriarch can birth their children.
###
[Divine Birth Chamber]
The air inside the Divine Birth Chamber was thick with the scent of incense and the sound of chanting. The midwives, five women dressed in flowing white robes with golden lines, moved around the spacious chamber. Golden talismans lined the walls, shining faintly, their protective energy forming a barrier against any malicious forces.
At the center of the room was a king-sized bed where the Matriarch, the wife of the Shung Clan Patriarch, lay. Her usual cold and composed face was now filled with beads of sweat that kept dripping from her forehead. Her silver-white hair, usually styled intricately, now messed up, lay across the pillows made from the finest silks, giving her an ethereal appearance. Her robes were loose, revealing the round swell of her belly. She was ready to give birth to her first child.
"Matriarch, please breathe gently," Mei Ling said, the head midwife with a calm and steady voice. She then pressed her hands, which glowed with a soft blue light, on the Matriarch's abdomen, infusing her with energy.
"Uh, this pain..."
"I've endured hundreds of years of trials that I've faced since I started my cultivation, yet this... this is beyond anything I've ever faced," the Matriarch gasped, her smooth voice laced with a pain that had a hint of amusement in it. Her lips curved in a wry smile.
"Such is the way of life, Matriarch," Mei Ling said, a smile blooming on her face.
Two other midwives, Lan and Xiu, who stood on each side, fanned her with peacock-feather fans that were infused with herbs that had a calming effect.
While this was happening inside the chamber, outside of it, there were some people, and a man who was impatiently circling around, sweat dripping down from his forehead.
"Haha, you're so impatient as if you're the one birthing your child instead of your wife," said Jiang Shung, the father of the current Patriarch, Wang Shung.
"Father, even if I'm not the one giving birth, she's still my wife and she's giving birth to my firstborn child. Of course, I'll be impatient," Wang Shung said, his tone worried, worried about his wife.
"Hahaha," hearing his words, Jiang Shung burst into laughter.
...
While such things were happening outside, inside the chamber, the Matriarch let out a cry, her voice echoing throughout the chamber.
Mei Ling, who sensed that the time was near, gestured to the other midwives to prepare a silver basin that was filled with holy water, its surface reflecting the flickering lights of the candles.
"Please push, Matriarch," Mei Ling said, her voice gentle and firm.
Hearing that, the Matriarch nodded her head, her eyes filled with determination as she bore down with all her might, her Qi surging while the golden talismans on the wall glowed in response to her power.
A few moments later, a sharp cry pierced through the air, its voice loud, strong, and clear. When the Matriarch heard it, her eyes were filled with tears of joy.
And as soon as the child was out, it floated up in the air, while a Heavenly gate opened up just above the Divine Birth Chamber.
And from it, a dragon so large that it could be about thousands of meters walked out of it as it did a flip before his whole body shone, giving light to the dark, night sky as it roared.
"Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," it gave a roar so loud and piercing that it destroyed mountains that were near it without any problems.
And in response to that, the Divine Birth Chamber shone brightly, the newborn child glowing as it floated.
And then the dragon headed back inside the Heavenly gate and then it disappeared into thin air, as if it didn't appear, but everyone already saw it, and it was something that they'll remember for the rest of their lives as it's not something that can be seen every day.
...
"Congratulations Matriarch, it's a healthy and strong son," Mei said, her tone happy as she took the flying baby in her hands and passed it to her.
"My son..." she said, letting out a sigh of relief as she had that proud look on her face.
Proud that her son was talented enough to call such a strong phenomenon that only those destined for greatness can call out.
...
"Damn, Father... did you see it?" Patriarch Wang said, his expression shocked before it turned into that of pride and joy.
"Yeah, I did... haha, good, good, good, you didn't disappoint me by giving me a trash grandson," Jiang Shung said, patting Wang's back with pride.
