Lily was too weak to struggle as she was drawn deep inside the ocean. "Why is this happening? Am I going to die like this?" she thought, her memories blurring away. She closed her eyes, holding her breath to recall her fading memories for as long as she could, but soon her ability to hold her breath under the water ran out, and she was suffocated by the water.
On the shore, Yanny was laughing melodically. "She's gone for good! She's gone, haha!" she cackled loudly.
"Darn it, I'm late!" A male voice filled with thick panic suddenly echoed, and in the next moment, there was the splash of water, the result of someone jumping into the ocean.
After a short while, Lily was carried out of the ocean by a peerlessly handsome male. His hair was long and golden, and his unique, beautiful eyes captivated all who gazed upon him. His chiseled abs were charming and muscular, capturing the hearts of females in an instant. He was a stunning god, surrounded by a chilling aura. His beautiful eyes fell on the stunned Yanny, who stood frozen in place, and an intense killing intent enveloped him immediately.
"You did it!" His cold voice echoed ominously, and as he spoke, a gust of wind swept through, causing Yanny to shiver, sensing death approaching.
"You... who are you? Which tribe did you come from?" Yanny questioned, attempting to act boldly, though she was trembling inwardly.
The male took a step forward and opened his mouth to speak but suddenly paused, staring at Yanny with a stunned expression on his face. Even his murderous intent vanished in an instant.
Yanny noticed the disappearance of his murderous intent and her arrogance surged. "He must have been stunned by my beauty and wants to become my mate now," she thought, chuckling inwardly. "Now it's my turn to attract all the powerful males in the world!" She shouted mentally and looked at the male. "Now you want to be my mate? It's too late; you dared to raise your voice at me at first, so you don't deserve me," she declared arrogantly.
The male's brows knitted tightly as his gaze remained fixed on Yanny, and his expression transformed into one of utter disbelief.
Yanny could feel the male's peculiar gaze and frowned. "Why are you staring at me?" she asked, raising her hands to rest on her hips, only to grasp thin air.
She was stunned, looking down at her waist only to find a gaping hole. "What's this?!" she exclaimed in shock, and as she turned to inspect her arms, she discovered that the same horrifying fissure had formed there as well. Blood wasn't flowing out, but it appeared as if her body was melting away.
"What's happening to me? What did you do to me?!" Yanny shouted, her body now riddled with large, ghastly fissures.
The handsome male took a step back, his eyes emotionless but still reflecting his bewilderment as he observed Yanny's tragic transformation.
"Why is this occurring? What's going on? What... mmm..." Yanny couldn't finish her sentence as her cheek also began to melt away, forming a vast fissure. If anyone were to stand beside her, they could see the ground through the opening. She was terrified, wanting to scream for help, but suddenly, her legs disintegrated, causing her to fall flat to the ground. She raised her head to watch in horror as her legs continued to dissolve, leaving nothing behind, not even the tiniest nail.
She longed to speak but couldn't; she wanted to crawl with her hands, but the fissurs had taken over her body. Tears streamed down her face as she looked at the handsome male, seeking help with her gaze.
The male regarded Yanny with disgust, remaining still as he watched her melt away completely, leaving nothing in her wake. His brows knitted slightly. "What kind of killing skill is that?" he pondered. But suddenly, the whole land began to shake, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
He held Lily tighter and gazed at the ground, which started turning green. "What's going on?" he murmured. Right after his words, the ground split open, and something resembling blood erupted high into the air.
The male was taken aback. "What is this?" he murmured, stepping back in astonishment. He glanced at Lily, who lay unconscious in his arms, only at this moment did he noticed blood-tears streaming down her face. Panic instantly flooded his features.
"Angel!" he exclaimed anxiously, but Lily seemed to have already fallen into an eternal sleep, even as blood tears continued to flow down her face. With each drop that hit the ground, the earthquake intensified, and the land split open, sending blood up in the form of a pillar.
The once-clear sky turned crimson, and the agonizing cries of thunder reverberated throughout the world, alarming everyone of the impending calamity. It looked as though it might rain, but instead, the ground continued to split open, with geysers of blood gushing up.
"This is bad!" the handsome male muttered, and in an instant, he vanished along with Lily. As soon as they were out of sight, the earthquake grew even more intense, shaking the sky and causing the mournful cries of thunder to echo.
...…
Star was still hang to the cross, her face pale with fear. "Father in heaven, please save my soul in a cool hell—not too cold and not too hot—so that when I reincarnate, I will have a better fate. I'm about to die here; hunger will surely kill me, wuuuu!" she cried. "Lily, I will miss your cooking," she sniffed, just then the whole cave shook violently, as if it were about to collapse.
"What's that?" Star exclaimed in alarm, looking around frantically. "Hey, ugly siblings! Is there an earthquake? Come and free me; I'm not ready to die yet!" she shouted loudly.
Ziber emerged from her hiding spot, casting Star a displeased look.
"Ziber!" Gerilla called anxiously as she appeared at the cave entrance. "Something is happening outside! The whole land is splitting open, and geysers of blood is raining out of the ground; it's spreading faster! That blood is not normal; anyone who comes into contact with it will melt away!" she reported in a panic.
Star's eyes widened in shock. "What did you say?" she exclaimed.
