Mental Breakdown (3)

"Dust Release: Return to Nothingness!"

The Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan clapped his hands together as all Dust Cubes fused into one before they shot towards the Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beast at tremendous speed, erupting in blinding light.

"Dust Sword Judgement!"

In mere moments, the Dust Sphere turned into the shape of a sword, as the Divine Exction Realm Primordial Beast readied all of its strength to defend against the sword strike, though unfortunately for it, the Dust Sword pierced through its arm, directly striking the skull of the humongous creature.

"And done is done."

He felt tired, very tired; everything hurt him, and his entire body was on fire, but he only laughed as he collapsed on the corpse of another Primordial Beast that was floating in nothingness.

"Hahahahahahaah!"

His mad laughter echoed through the sounds of silence in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning. Finally, at last, he felt for the first time he lived, free and just free...

"Whatever... I should probably collect these."

Yakou then cheerfully said because even he didn't realize what had happened when he snapped and stopped suppressing his emotions and everything around him. He then quickly started collecting the carcasses of the killed Primordial Beasts.

There were hundreds of corpses; he already planned to use some of the corpses as additional fertilizers for the God Tree that was germinating the Brahma God Fruit.

"I should probably go... it is highly possible that some True God Realm Primordial Beasts would arrive if they exist, or probably peak Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beast."

Yakou then muttered as he quickly disappeared and returned back to the place where the Warship of the Clan was with the God Tree. He didn't even realize that he had spent several hours massacring the Primordial Beasts.

He definitely obtained a lot from this, not only through the corpses of the Primordial Beasts that were numbered in hundreds, especially the two corpses of Divine Extinction Realm Primordial Beasts.

But one thing that was most precious was Yakou's "rebirth" through self-realization.

***

Qianye Ying'er was waiting anxiously for Yakou because he had disappeared very quickly several hours ago and she knew that something must have happened. She didn't know what, but her keen observations told her that it was something serious.

She spent a lot of time with Ōtsutsuki Yakou, and despite his cold and indifferent demeanor, he was actually a very pleasant person to be around once he opened up a bit.

"So, what do you say, Brahma Goddess, do you wish to become mine?"

As she was contemplating, she suddenly heard his voice and felt him hugging her wait. He was entirely drenched in blood and severely injured. Her entire mind was freaking right now because she was unsure of what to do.

Her cheeks reddened, but at the same time, she wanted to ask what had happened to him that he had returned several hours ago and returned almost half-dead. For her entire life, she despised men who only lusted for her appearance and beauty.

She used them for her bidding, to obtain power, spread her influence, and obtain cultivation resources, treasures or power. Now she was put in front of a dilemma because she liked the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

They were similar in a certain sense; both of them had great ambitions, both of them disdained those who believed in ideas of justice and self-righteousness and both of them wanted power.

Her hands and legs started shaking, she wanted to push Yakou away from her, but in the end, when she attempted to do so, she realized that she couldn't. His embrace felt so comforting and so pleasant.

She just stood there, frozen in one place while her brain was racking on what to do over the about situation, as her inner voices were each telling something different, often contradicting each other at that.

In the end, she just wrapped her hands around Yakou's waist, put her head on his chest and rested her head over it... She didn't say anything, and in truth, there was not even a need for her to say something because Yakou understood Qianye Ying'er very well.

Too well, actually, at that.

"Yes..."

She muttered quietly with a barely bearable voice as that was the last thing that Yakou heard before he entirely lost consciousness.

Warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, several days later

Qianye Ying'er was spending the last three days taking care of the Crown Prince of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. When Yakou returned back, and after "that", he lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma.

Fortunately, she had learned some bits about healing and together with Gu Zhu and Warship's Artifact Spirit, they were able to stabilize his state until he started healing quickly.

The self-healing capabilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clasnmen were high, especially those who underwent Body Forging several times all over and over. In the Warship, there was even special Chambers with advanced life support systems that were specifically prepared for situations like this.

After they put Ōtsutsuki Yakou into the healing pod, his body started healing at a visible rate, though his Chakra Network would need some more time to recuperate completely. She didn't know what happened to him, but she heard that the Artifact Spirit said that his Chakra Network was almost fried.

That was certainly not good.

Still, shockingly they started healing after some time, and right now, they were almost good as new. Even Qianye Ying'er was deeply surprised that within a few days, previously almost half-dead Ōtsutsuki Yakou was now perfectly fine.

Though not entirely perfectly fine, but he was faring much better and would wake up at any given moment. After three days, they put him in his chambers from the healing pod when the Artifact Spirit told Qianye Ying'er that Yakou didn't need to be in the healing pod any longer.

The former Crown Princess of the Brahma Monarch God Realm was reading a book on Evolutionary Cultivation, as the Warship of the Ōtsutsuki Clan had a small library built in because Yakou loved reading.

"Fuck... I feel like being hit by Tarasque..."

Suddenly she heard a feeble voice belonging to the Ōtsutsuki Clan Crown Prince, who was slowly waking up. Yakou felt like shit, he felt very weak, frail and tired as hell, but at least the pain was much less.

He scanned his body with Divine Sense and noticed that his Chakra Network was fine, though he noticed that they were only recently regenerated and they would need to be more time to recuperate.

"I don't know what Tarasque is, but you look terrible..."

Qianye Ying'er said softly as she looked at his disheveled and unkept appearance. She closed the book she was reading and went to Yakou, sitting on the other end of the bed.
