Against Heaven's Will - Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chaos

"What did I do to deserve King of Heaven's visit?"

A lone middle-aged man was sitting in front of a board of Go when he suddenly lifted his gaze, spotting another person in front of him. The top of the mountain where he spent most of his time rarely had visitors. 

"Brother, I want it back," King of Heaven announced right away, causing the middle-aged man to chuckle. 

"Hah, of course you do. You wouldn't come to meet me after so many years if it wasn't for your powers."

He placed one black piece on the board, no longer looking at the King of Heaven. 

"Let me guess. Something forced you to open the Fate Kingdom but then you realized you have no Heavenly Power anymore and now you are panicking. How does it feel to be powerless outside of your home?" 

"Chaos!" King of Heaven shouted his name. "Don't play games with me. Give back what you stole."

"Oh, I didn't steal anything," Chaos replied as he scratched his chin, thinking about the next move. "You left me alone to handle everything while you were hiding in your Fate Kingdom, away from any responsibilities. Since you were away, someone had to take control over the other half of Heaven. Did you think I wouldn't take it?"

"I had my reasons. Now I'm back and I will take what's mine," King of Heaven declared. 

Chaos didn't pay him any attention. 

"What do you think would be the best move now?" Chaos asked casually. "I think white can go here—"

Swoosh!

The board flew away from the wooden table and smashed against the only tree on top of the mountain. It broke into pieces while the white and black stones spilled all over the cloud-covered ground. 

Chaos glanced at the board, then at the stones, and finally sighed as he glared at his ungrateful brother. 

"This is why our mother didn't love you." 

Ugh!

The King of Heaven grunted in pain as his body momentarily broke in half, forced to kneel on the ground. His arms twisted and locked against his chest. No matter how much he resisted, he couldn't fight back against the full force of Heaven.

Chaos finally stood up and walked up to his brother. He poked at his arm that had a different color from the rest of his body. 

"Did you already forget my rules? You break something of mine, I will break something of yours," Chaos said as he grabbed his brother's wrist. "To think you found a way to regenerate your arm after your daughter took it away. I hope you got used to having one arm."

Aaaaaaaaaaargh!!!

King of Heaven screamed as his arm deteriorated into small particles till nothing was left. His sleeve was hanging on its own as his face cringed from pain. 

"I hate you!" King of Heaven snapped, causing Chaos to smile. 

"See, we do have something in common in the end," Chaos teased and went back to pick up his board. The pieces lifted from the ground and connected, recreating the board without a scratch. 

"Too bad, you can't make another arm this easily," Chaos commented, driving King of Heaven crazy. 

"Come on, do it! Kill me! I'm sure that is what you always wanted. Kill me and take over all the power," King of Heaven called out madly. 

"Tsk, look at you. Power got into your head and now you go crazy," Chaos snickered. "I already got all the power there is. What is there left to take? Also, who said anything about killing? Everyone plays a certain role in the universe and your role is not over. Your time will come when it's meant to come."

"The power you stole from me… I can still feel it. I will rip it from you piece by piece until I get it all back…" King of Heaven declared as he stared at Chaos hatefully. "It's rightfully mine and always will be."

"Sure, go ahead. You abandoned your duties, so I punished you by taking away something you care about. I can't stop you from taking it back," Chaos replied with a shrug. "I wonder how long it will take you though. Maybe you can finish before he comes for you." 

King of Heaven's expression visually changed as his eyes squinted.

"That's right, I know about him. The person you are after. The one that forced you out of your hiding," Chaos revealed playfully. "I wonder if I will have a new partner in the near future. Someone is after my brother's position."

"You…" King of Heaven muttered as his face turned red from anger. "I knew it! There is no way he entered the Fate Kingdom without help! It was you! You sent him there to mess with me!" 

"I didn't but think whatever you want," Chaos shrugged in response. "I will just sit back and enjoy as your life crumbles. Been a while since I was having so much fun." 

With that said, King of Heaven's body dropped to the ground, released from Chaos' power. He quickly grasped his shoulder where he lost his arm and jumped away, creating distance between them. 

"I will remember this!" King of Heaven shouted from afar before he disappearing on the spot. 

Chaos didn't mind that and sat down on his usual spot while the board set itself in front of him.

"Interesting game ahead…" Chaos muttered as he placed one piece in the middle. 

——— 

The news of Liu Xuefeng conquering the Dragon Tower spread far and wide across the whole Heaven Realm but for the next half a year, no one has heard of him. Even the House of Dragon slowly forgot about the event even though there were unanswered questions everyone wanted to ask.

Where was he? Why did he go into hiding? What secrets did he take with him?

It has been half a year of living in suspense and people have already lost hope of learning the truth. Xuefeng stopped being the talk for every dinner or party until one day when the whole world turned upside down.

The Fate Kingdom reopened. 

Naturally, the sheer opening wouldn't be so surprising if not for the global announcement coming from the Heavens and the fact it involved Xuefeng. 

"I, King of Heaven announce that Liu Xuefeng is now an official enemy of the Heavens. Anyone who kills him will be blessed by the Heavens and will live forever."
