Stuck in a Chinese novel

As everything turned to pieces in front of me, I wasn't quite satisfied with it. Although these guys would feel the pain of their bodies splitting into thousands of pieces, but I still wasn't satisfied.

Well, now was the time to leave a mark behind as good as any. Also, it would give them the pain of burning. But first, "You might want to leave if you don't want to get caught up in it."

I turned to warn my stalker who thought she was out of my sense's range. She heard me, panicked but she didn't move for a few moments before she turned around and fled at full speed. I guess she had received the clearance to get out of there.

Well, now that that was done and over with, I had a few things up my sleeves but I wanted to go with the flashiest way. Not many existed with my current arsenal of skills but for this town, it was enough. Besides, I doubted the entire area would be destroyed.

"You might want to leave if you don't want to get caught up in it." Sarah heard the voice of the monster she had been watching for a while now. She couldn't believe what she was seeing even though she was seeing it with her own two eyes.

Through her, the representatives of the united races also heard the words of the monster. Out of everyone present, Julianna understood that even if it was her, it wouldn't have been this easy to deal with the gang leaders. After all, there was a reason they had been in power for so long even under the nose of a war hero like Sirius.

However, what Adrian had done was unprecedented. Unbelievable, on a whole new level.

"Get out of there." So it didn't take her long to come to a decision. The vampire, however, had different thoughts. "What!? NO! We need to see what other cards he has to play."

"Then you can send another one of your own sons to gauge him," Julianna said angrily. The vampire didn't like it but before he could, another voice calmly spoke, "Get out of there, right now. He is going to blow that entire area and you will die with it."

Ignoring the fact that how he knew what Adrian was going to do, the vampire was first angry by the fact that he had dared to speak in the leader's council.

"How dare you speak while we are talking?!" The vampire was rightfully angered and so were some others but they didn't speak. Alastair held a special position among the races, his status as the next apostle of destruction was something that even his own father, a divine-ranked being couldn't ignore so easily.

"Shut up." Alastair calmly spoke.

That was the final straw. The vampire, who had had enough was about to erupt when Astaroth himself stood up and spoke, "ENOGUH!"

A powerful wave of mana spread throughout the room as the entire building shook with great intensity.

"Dàghar, you know we don't have any authority with what Julianna does. As for you," He turned to his son and said, "Show some respect."

Alastair nodded but didn't apologize. As for Dàghar, he could only sit back in because Astaroth's words were true. It wasn't his place to speak nor could he give orders to a subordinate of the elves.

"Why are you still there?! Hurry and leave!" Julianna turned back to the transmission only to find Sarah still in her place so she loudly said to get her attention.

Sarah didn't wait for another second and left the place at full speed. While she was fleeing, she heard a large and loud explosion from behind her. She wanted to turn around and see but every pore in her body warned her against it. She felt like if she turned around now, she wouldn't be able to make it out of there alive.

'I have to do something about him.' Sarah decided. Adrian didn't know her human form yet so she could use that to get close to him. She decided to deal with Adrian herself because the elf queen wouldn't let her now that she had seen his power. However, there was more than one way to kill a man instead of fighting.

From this fight, she had deemed Adrian to be too strong and too dangerous. She knew if left alone, Adrian would be a greater nemesis to the united races than the human apostles and the human superpowers.

The council on the other hand remained quiet. They also couldn't see behind Sarah but the loud sound of an explosion hadn't escaped their sears. They had heard it loud and clear and most of them turned to Alastair to see if he had clairvoyance or something. Alastair chose to remain quiet though.

Alastair had never been a part of this group and he doubted he would ever be. He only spoke earlier because of his elf fiancée, otherwise, he didn't care whether Sarah died or not. He knew his fiancée would be devastated by Sarah's death so he spoke up but now that she was safe, he had nothing else to say.

"I know that things have been hectic today. First, our ancestral bloodline blaring, and now this." Astaroth began and pointed to the two unexpected surprises they had received.

"However, I think it would be better to conclude this meeting by assigning some roles to everyone. You know it as well as I do that the number of our threats is increasing day by day so we all need to put in a little more effort." He referred to the earlier incident.

Once everyone was attentive, he turned to dwarves and gnomes and said, "I know it is unreasonable to ask but I would appreciate it if you could look for your ancestral creations and inventions. We can use them at this time."

The dwarves and gnomes said nothing but it was enough of a silent agreement.

He then turned to Merfolk and said, "I would like you all to scout sea for any passageway you can find. We cannot leave that as an option but get out if it gets dangerous."

The Merfolk also didn't reply but it counted as an agreement. Then he turned to the dark elves and said, "Your assistance in scouting the bother cities is required. See how far you can go."

"Very well," Vera, the dark elf representative replied.

He then turned to Julianna and said, "Although it is entirely up to you, I would appreciate it if you could let your contract remain in Bellator for some more time."

Julianna didn't want to agree but she knew how much she had invested in infiltrating Bellator so she replied with an uncertain reply, "I will think about it. For now, I cannot give you any answer."

"Very well." Astaroth replied and turned to the final race, "Speed up the plan. If you need help then ask, otherwise, get her after the dungeon of diamonds, when there would be very few dangers."

Dàghar nodded and replied, "Don't worry. All the planning is done. All that's left is to execute it."

Astaroth nodded, reassured by the reply, and finally said, "I will speed up my operation in the Empire. When they enter the Dungeon of Diamonds, that would be the perfect time to strike. At that time, all the races would have to cooperate."

Everybody nodded to the instructions they received so Astaroth said, "Now that we all know what to do, let us conclude this meeting."

Nothing was said about Adrian and nothing was asked. Everyone knew what to do so there was no need to ask and no need to tell. To them, Adrian was an unforeseen variable but nothing about the plan had changed.

They would still rule the human race; it would be just a little difficult now.

Desmond, Michelle, and every one of the Bellator City who had any responsibility to the city's guard rushed to the giant crater in the city.

There was a massive hole in the middle of the Red light area of Bellator City. It was a city within a city, that was how large it was, however, all of it was devastated. Everything in the radius was gone, replaced by a giant crater, filled with water from the underground.

But that wasn't what the main point of concern was. The being that could do this was no less than a divine being and even they would have to be fairly high level.

Although that fact plagued them, they came upon a new discovery while heading to the crater that took their attention most.

The chunks and pieces of flesh were all around the city. When they were expected, none of them thought to be alive so they didn't pay much attention. They simply thought they were all dead.

However, when they arrived in the middle of the crater, they looked around to find any clue. That was when Michelle stepped on something.

What she saw, made her heart skip a beat and nausea took hold of her. She hurriedly took deep breaths to stop the vomit almost at her throat. When Desmond saw her condition, he worriedly asked, "What is it?"

"They're alive." She quietly said. Desmond, even with his super hearing couldn't hear what she said so he asked again, "What?"

"They… they are alive." Michelle pointed to the chunks of flesh at their feet. Desmond, not believing her, thinking she was seeing things, looked down but what he saw horrified him. An eye, just the front part of him, staring back at him in horror itself.
