Being slapped away by a loud slap, Enjou's figure staggered in the air, and then revealed his true face—the Abyss Lector who controlled the abyss fire.
His eyes were wide with anger, and the violent fire element surged around him, converging into a fiery red round shield.
"Human, how dare you offend me like this! You will face the endless wrath of the abyss!" Enjou roared angrily, his voice full of unwillingness and threat.
However, before he finished speaking, Yide's figure had flashed in front of him like a ghost.
"Slap!"
Another heavy and powerful slap, with a biting ice element, sent Enjou flying more than ten meters away.
At the same time, the cold elemental power also melted his fire element shield, leaving a piece of steaming water vapor.
"Human, I admit that you do have some strength, but…" Before Enjou finished speaking, his cheek was greeted with another loud slap.
"Slap!"
"Human, I am an Abyss Lector, I have people above me…" Enjou's words were interrupted by a slap again.
"Slap!"
…
After being slapped more than ten times in a row, Enjou's face was so swollen that he couldn't care about any dignity and face. He quickly begged for mercy, "Stop, stop! I'm going to die if you hit me again! Big brother, I was wrong, please spare me!"
Yide chuckled, his eyes flashing with playfulness, "Enjou, it's okay for me to let you go, but you have to answer a few questions first."
Hearing this, Enjou nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Big brother, you can ask. As long as I know, I will confess everything and never hide anything."
Yide raised his palm and made a gesture to slap, "The first question, who are you? I'm talking about your previous identity."
Enjou glanced at the palm that could fall at any time, hesitated for a moment, and then honestly replied, "I used to be an ordinary Khaenri'ah mage. As for my name, I can't remember it clearly."
Yide continued to ask, "The second question, what exactly happened in the Khaenri'ah cataclysm back then?"
A complex look flashed across Enjou's face. He shook his head gently, "I was just a low-level mage, and I don't know the specific details of that disaster. Back then, the only thing ordinary people like me could do was to try our best to escape."
Yide was obviously a little disappointed with this answer. He paused and continued to ask, "Then why did you become what you are now?"
Enjou replied truthfully, "It was Chlothar. He led the remaining Khaenri'ah people to embrace the power of the abyss, and I became what I am now because of this."
Hearing the name "Chlothar," Yide was not surprised, because Chlothar was the founder of the Abyss Order.
He threw out another question, "The last question, what exactly is the power of the abyss?"
Enjou still shook his head and replied bitterly, "A mediocre person like me can't understand its existence and mystery at all."
Yide understood that he could no longer get more information from Enjou.
He waved his hand with disinterest and said coldly, "You can go. From today on, Enkanomiya is under my control. The Abyss Order is not allowed to set foot here again."
His voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty and power.
After speaking, Yide no longer paid attention to Enjou and walked into the Byakuyakoku Library on his own.
Just as he was about to step into the library, Enjou's voice came from behind him, "Who are you?"
"Yide," Yide replied lightly without turning his head.
Enjou was stunned and wanted to say something, but found that Yide had already entered the ruins.
His face changed for a while, and finally he made a decision.
He quickly gathered all his subordinates and hurriedly left Enkanomiya.
He did not have enough courage and strength to face this god of slaughter in the mortal world.
…
Yide searched in the library for a long time, but found almost nothing.
Most of the books here have lost their value. The only one that is still valuable is a book about history.
It details the diplomatic exchanges between the Byakuyakoku and the Khaenri'ah Kingdom.
According to the book, the Khaenri'ah Kingdom at that time had become extremely arrogant. They tried to challenge the order of the Heavenly Principles and break the shackles placed on the world by the gods.
The Byakuyakoku, on the other hand, only hoped to live in peace, so they rejected the repeated invitations of the Khaenri'ah Kingdom.
Later, a vicious diplomatic incident occurred between the two countries, which led to a sharp deterioration in relations, and there were no more diplomatic exchanges since then.
Although this book did not clearly record the specific content of this diplomatic incident, Yide knew the general idea.
Some high-level officials of the Khaenri'ah Kingdom knew about the existence of "Before Sun and Moon." They tried to steal this book and use it to prove that the Heavenly Principles and the Seven Archons were foreign invaders.
However, their conspiracy did not succeed.
An ordinary bodyguard named Anzhen did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life to leave it in Enkanomiya.
Thinking of this, Yide felt even more disgusted with Khaenri'ah.
If Khaenri'ah had really obtained this "Before Sun and Moon," then the Byakuyakoku, the keeper of this book, would undoubtedly be punished by the Heavenly Principles.
Then, Yide left the library and came to the platform below the Dainichi Mikoshi.
A shrine maiden wearing a snake mask was standing there quietly, looking up at the Dainichi Mikoshi, as if she was thinking about something.
She was very surprised by Yide's arrival, because no human had visited Enkanomiya for a long time.
"Who are you?" she asked suspiciously, her voice carrying a hint of vigilance, "Why did you come here?"
The first time Yide saw her, he recognized her true identity—the experimental subject of Orobashi, the evolved vishap-human, A-zhi.
The corner of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, "My name is Yide, the director of the West Factory. I came here to make the Dainichi Mikoshi run normally."
As soon as the words fell, A-zhi's face changed slightly. She said with a hint of anger, "Do you humans have to make the vishaps live in pain?"
Yide waved his hand gently, "On the contrary, we are helping the vishaps."
"Help?" A-zhi sneered, "This was originally the living space of the vishaps, but it was forcibly occupied by you humans. Now, the vishaps can only live in the dark corners, lingering on their last breath."
Yide shrugged and said calmly, "If you say so, then the vishaps are also invaders. Because this was originally the home of tiny elemental creatures."
A-zhi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute Yide's words.
Yide continued, "No matter how the order of the world changes, there is one law that has never changed from beginning to end, that is, natural selection, survival of the fittest. The fundamental reason why the vishaps were driven to the corners is not the invasion of humans, but that they, who maintain their primitive wildness, are no longer suitable for existence."
After hearing this, A-zhi's expression was sad.
The biggest problem with the vishap race is that they don't have their own civilization. Their behavior is almost equivalent to that of beasts.
