Tournament of the Gods

Tragedy exists

  "Hey, hey, hey, hey," came Sui Wenyan's grandiloquent voice, Zhangshun Shan was laying down on the floor, she knelt down beside him as if trying to recuperate him as she would press his chest and tried to give him CPR several times in an orderly fashion.  Zhangshun Shan opened his eyes after a brief moment, he could see Sui Wenyan's concerned face, she really was so beautiful, he had never noticed that or maybe because of the fact that the moon was gleaming directly above her really highlighted her beauty.   "You are finally up," Sui Wenyan said the worry in her tone had been replaced with indifference.  "What did you do this time, you were with me one time and the next, you were on the ground several metres away from me and the skies have changed, I thought it just turned suddenly dark as we are in a 9D plane but when I tried to transform it back, it didn't work, you did something, didn't you?"his wife kept nagging.

Zhangshun Shan put his right arm to his head, it was pounding heavily.  "This is strange," He thought to himself. "I have absorbed Renkui's essence, I am not supposed to feel any form of infirmity at all or is this still an aftermath from my war with those strange dark riders."

(Explaining what happened, we are back at the moment when Zhangshun Shan was first walking with Sui Wenyan when she had come to call him.)

Zhangshun Shan walked behind his wife and all of a sudden, he realized he couldn't see futuristic events anymore, normally, Zhangshun Shan could view the events from any time, past, present and future as he now had the power of a God, he was viewing infinite futuristic possibilities of every creature each located in the fifth Omniverse, he could also see their past and present if he wanted but after seeing them once, he felt it wasn't necessary to view them continuously but all of a sudden, he realized he couldn't see any futuristic event in relation with any creature at all as he walked behind his wife.

"This could only mean one thing, I am about to face someone or a group of people whom are not subject to the concept of time," Zhangshun Shan thought to himself.  "It could be either one of the gods or even all of them coming are coming but this is strange, I can't see the future of any creature in this existence meaning that what is coming is bent on attacking every creature in the fifth Omniverse and it can't the god themselves as they would never resort to that, it must be a spawn or an army of spawns that's receiving orders from one of them who is acting independently as a result of rage and resentment for whoseover killed Hou Yi," Zhangshun Shan kept thinking as he moved on along.  "I am unaware of how powerful they are but it's reasonable to assume an infinite number of them would attack me since they will be attacking every creature in this Omniverse, meaning numbers is a baseless notion to them so even if a numbered amount comes to attack me, I should bear in mind that they are actually more," Zhangshun Shan put his right arm on Sui Wenyan's forehead, his palm was cloaked in red and black miasma and once his palm got in contact with her skin, the misama disappeared, she appeared to be frozen in her steps, even the people around her who were busy with their activities each appeared frozen in their movements.  "Now, that's done, I have a feeling that my attack with this unknown enemy that is approaching me might cause this body to fail, so I have replicated the essence responsible for my life force and placed it in my wife, if I fall unconscious, her first reaction would be to touch me instead of shouting for help being the type of woman she is, once she touches me, the miasma I have implanted in her would jumpstart my possibly already depleted life force and therefore, enable me to recover fully.".  Just as he thought that, he resumed time and almost immediately, he had fallen into the quicksand.

(In case you are wondering how this is possible since in the previous chapter, Zhangshun Shan was thinking and here again, he's still thinking still during that time frame, so I will have to explain but don't expect me to indulge you throughout this whole book, since Zhangshun Shan was above the time space continuum, he could now think infinite different sets of thoughts in the same moment, he was no longer restricted to the typical mind of an average man which could only think about a particular event at a time, now, he could think about an infinite things at once, if I should write about all that Zhangshun Shan thought about, I would write words whose numerical value would be far greater than megrosto.)

Back to the present.

As Zhangshun Shan was still on the ground, he realized his head kept pounding harder.  "This isn't supposed to happen," he thought to himself.  "The miasma that jump-started my life force is supposed to return me to perfect normalcy."  Zhangshun Shan even though surprised about what had taken place struggled to get to his feet, he looked up at the skies, he was amazed about the dark skies, the skies kept getting darker so much that the colour black looked like white in comparison and the moon he once saw was nowhere.

Zhangshun Shan snapped his fingers and instead of the dark skies to disappear and be replaced with sunshine and a perfect blue sky as he desired but none of that happened.   The skies remained the same and they kept getting darker.

Zhangshun Shan smiled as he disabled the concept of time across every dimensional plane of existence but even though time was disabled, the skies still kept getting darker, it was independent of whatever hax or means was activated, Zhangshun Shan's face wore a more serious expression as he snapped his fingers, Sui Wenyan was speaking before he had paused time before so her mouth had suddenly paused but when he enabled time again, her lips had continued moving causing words to come out.   "With this, I have learnt two things, first off, Renkui isn't the most powerful god as this attack was clearly staged by another god and even Renkui's Omnipotence isn't capable of cancelling," Zhangshun Shan continued thinking.  "The second thing is they are dead serious about finding who killed Renkui and these dark skies must have a significance, I have to find....". As Zhangshun Shan still kept thinking, Sui Wenyan slumped to the ground, Zhangshun Shan was visibly shocked as he had been viewing the futuristic events in relation to her and nothing of that sort happened.   "What happened?" He thought as he moved towards her but he realized something, her beautiful Asian skin was growing some brown spots on it, neglecting the brown spots, it looked like it kept getting paler continuously, Zhangshun Shan bent down close to her, touching her gently, he tried to erase whatever was afflicting her but realized his abilities were useless.

Zhangshun Shan could feel sweat dropping from his forehead but he quickly retained his demeanor, looking over at the people in the village, he realized all of them had collapsed to the ground and the same symptoms which happened to his second wife was also manifesting on their bodies.

Zhangshun Shan teleported away from there, he reappeared inside a room, the room was quite spacious and it was unlike the environment Zhangshun Shan was coming from, the room was furnished with different statues of Wenren Yu and different pictures of Wenren Yu with several naked women, Wenren Yu laid naked on a bed, he wasn't the only one on the bed, there were at least 80 women which were also on the massive sized bed with him, the bed had a royal red sheet on it.  Wenren Yu and the ladies surrounding him also had the symptoms of what Zhangshun Shan had noticed in his wife.

Zhangshun Shan was amazed, he moved forward but realized he was getting weaker, bringing his right arm to his field of vision, he saw more brown spots popping out, Zhangshun Shan could feel his head pounding.

His mind and body felt so perturbed and disturbed he couldn't use any of his godly abilities, since Zhangshun Shan was in a 9D plane, he could simply open any door and be in any location he wanted, the 9D plane had many other quirks which were unavailable in our world (3D).

Zhangshun Shan got to the nearest door, it was about 7'4 in height and completely brown in colour, pushing it, he reappears in a sandy area, directly before him was a 5'7 tall woman who laid in between several tall coconut trees, she wore a white linen dress and was surrounded with several women who were dressed in Japanese maid outfits, they were unconscious on the ground, same with the woman in linen dress, the woman in linen dress was none other than Zhangshun Shan's wife, Qui Si.

"Qui Si," Zhangshun Shan thought to himself as he struggled to move over to the position of his wife.  "You are the only woman I have ever loved, I would rather die than lose you again," Zhangshun Shan stretches his left arm, there was a red pill on it.  "After I had defeated Renkui, I found an immortality pill in his remains, the immortality pill contained an essence even more profound than his, it's like the one I perceived from my father when I first saw him in the tenth level, and since my supposed father is the Jade Emperor, this pill must contain quirks that will enable even you to live, I love you so much, Qui Si and my only regret is that I couldn't love you more." Zhangshun Shan said as he got to his wife's position, as he got to her, he collapsed to the ground, the spots had spread all over his body and he was frail in strength, with the last of the strength he could muster, he shoved the pill in his wife's mouth, Zhangshun Shan's worried face was now full of happiness and for the first time since he turned 7, his face was full of joy and excitement.  Zhangshun Shan turned over, his back to the ground as he looked up.   "I was able to save the love of my life in the end, that's really all that matters to me, my life is insignificant but hers is of utmost importance." He thought as he was about to close his eyes and slump to his death, just as Zhangshun Shan thought it was all over, he felt a weight coming over his body, opening his eyes, he found his wife lying atop him.

"Qui..." Zhangshun Shan muttered but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt his wife's lips brush against his hurriedly, he felt her soft tongue slid into his mouth, her tongue played with his for a moment before it retracted but it left something, it was a cylindrical small object, the immortality pill.

Zhangshun Shan knowing what it was wanted to push the pill back into his wife's mouth but he felt his wife's right arm slid into his undergarments and towards his crotch.

In moments, he could feel his wife's right arm massaging his crotch slowly and pleasurably.

"When did she get so good," Zhangshun Shan thought to himself as her hands focused on the head of his d**k, she played with it so sensually and professionally so much that Zhangshun Shan couldn't help but moan and as he did, the pill slid into his throat, Zhangshun Shan's joyful face had vanished and now it was replaced with one of pain and anger.

"Zhangshun my darling," Qui Si began, tears filling her eyes. "I have loved you from the first time I saw you, you were fearless and handsome," as she said that, red creeped on her cheeks. "I knew at that point in time that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and you were going to take me into a life full of danger and adventure, no matter how dangerous the situation was, you were always there and I could always rely on you that you would find a way, I love you more than words can describe, you are my one and only and I have no regrets, being with you is the best thing that ever happened to me, the lifetime I have spent with you has been like a fairytale, you have shown me over and over that nothing is impossible for you and I know death isn't the end, you will find a way to show that death is just a useless concept in comparison to you and bring me back including all our friends and comrades, after all, you are Zhangshun Shan."

As she said that, her eyes closed as she collapsed on him, Zhangshun Shan's eyes were teary but before the tears could leave his eyelids, he brought out his right arm as he wiped the tears away, his body has already healed and the spots had disappeared but his wife's condition was critical as her body had been overran with brown spots and completely pale

Zhangshun Shan got to his feet, holding his wife's body tenderly with his two arms.  "My darling hearthrob, I swear by your name, I will bring you back, the two children we have together, I promise to also bring Wenren Yu and his innumerable feminine partners, I will bring back Sui Wenyan and the young boy I have with her and everyone in this plane, they shall all be brought back and I will found out who sent those riders after us and I swear by my name, I will obliterate them all."

Zhangshun Shan realized something at that point, all his knowledge of the Omniverse and his Omnipresence in the megrosto planes of the Omniverse where he resided was gone, right now, he was as powerless as he was before he entered Excalibur but there was a difference, he had his two arms intact.

Zhangshun Shan snapped his two arms hoping to summon a donkey but nothing happened.

"I guess it has all come to this," Zhangshun Shan sighs to himself as he brings his right arm to his vision field.  "I already anticipated all of this happening, that was why I was even horning my mastery of Krigo despite my Omnipotence, when I first resurrected, I looked around the Omniverse and realized every creature whatsoever no longer drew breath, that's why at that point, I teleported the black cube to my position," Zhangshun Shan said as he removed a black cube from his samurai wear.  "This was a parting gift from Rui Hongcha himself, when I obtained Renkui's power, I realized I could travel to other Omniverses, five others to be exact but I delibrately never left as I wanted to fight the gods head on but now, it looks like one of the gods themselves have decided to destroy this Omniverse, for what reason, I do not know but one thing is sure, by the time I am done with that God in particular, it will wish it was never born," Zhangshun Shan said as he squeezed the black cube harder, as he did, the reappeared in a grassland.

The environment was full of short trees, small grasses, shrubs and some mushrooms ranging from 1-3 feet tall.

"There was a particular world in the first Omniverse that piqued my interest," Zhangshun Shan smiles to himself.  "It's popularly called earth by it's inhabitants, it's civilisation is as advanced as that of Philemon, I shall be going there and from there, I shall make my advance to dominate over all." Zhangshun Shan ends with a demeaning smirk as his body began to fade away from the position he stood.
