I'll even show you crossdressing men.

He's dead. What reason do I have to stay strong? I've been waiting, I've been watching over him, I've been hoping. All my love and affection has been given to him. So what if he forgets me? My whole life has only been his…

With each step, a lotus flower bloomed, and white snowflakes drifted around her. The frigid air caused the moisture in the air to freeze below zero.

Her long, flowing hair billowed behind her, seemingly imbued with the colors of snow and ice, a pale blend of white and light blue. She was like an ice goddess descended from the extremes, freezing everything and transforming herself into eternal ice.

"The Ye family? Or the Cai family?" The changes in her were too obvious. The Fallen One turned his gaze toward her and asked with some curiosity.

But Ye Xuexin didn't want to pay any attention to this person. All she wanted was to kill him and then stay with him.

“She’s dead…” Yun Qing’s feelings were very complicated. He wouldn’t say he fell in love with Ji Xiuyu at first sight, but he did have a desire to have her and make her an enviable couple with him.

However, he has never known how to express this emotion, or rather, how to communicate with the person he likes. All he can think of is the forced possession described in those books.

That's why he did that to her on stage, in the audience of the dueling arena. He wanted to possess her, he wanted her to remember him.

However, this was not the outcome he wanted. He absolutely did not want Ji Xiuyu to die like this; he did not want...

"Xiuyu." Instead of unleashing the burst of his life force at Ye Xuexin, Yun Qing simply displayed a swinging white clock behind him. This was his strongest attack, capable of reversing or accelerating time for his opponent. At its peak, it could even turn all life within his sight into skeletons.

However, his opponent was a super strong person who had transcended mortals and reached the legendary hero realm for countless years. He had no confidence in winning, or even in terms of how much impact he could have on the situation. But now, he did not want to back down, and he did not want to let this person leave!

"Heh..." With a cold laugh, the Fallen One put away the amethyst in his hand. The half of his face hidden under the hood remained expressionless. Although he had noticed the changes in Ye Xuexin and Yun Qing, he didn't take them to heart. These two were still too green. If they wanted to be his enemies, they should break through to the Hero level first.

“I know I can’t kill you, maybe I can’t even hurt you. But sometimes, people can do things in despair that are far more terrifying than you can imagine…” she said, stopping three meters in front of the Fallen One, the snowflakes in her eyes suddenly swirling.

Her actions made even the Fallen One feel threatened. Gone was the plaything; he moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing behind Ye Xuexin. His hand, stained with the blood of Ji Xiuyu's heart, gripped her neck, and he said indifferently, "Still as stupid as ever..."

“Yes, if I weren’t stupid, how could I give everything?” Her spine was being gripped and squeezed tightly. She knew that this enemy could break her with just a little force. But she felt no fear and continued talking.

Then, a beautiful explosion occurred.

In an instant, the girl's body transformed into snowflakes fluttering in the air, like blades and sharp knives, all attacking the fallen.

He tried to move, but Yun Qing's clockwork ability activated, causing him to pause for a moment. Countless snowflakes swept across his body, tearing his clothes to shreds.

The exposed black flesh, reeking of decay, was riddled with countless tiny wounds, from which thick, purplish-black blood flowed.

"You're courting death." Yun Qing had originally intended to use his ability and then find a place to hide, waiting for the others to come and help him capture him. Unexpectedly, he didn't care at all about his severely injured body. His body appeared in front of him as if by teleportation, giving him no chance to even use spatial teleportation, and he grabbed Yun Qing's neck, forcefully…

"Crack~" As if autumn waters had dried up and winter had arrived, all the light in his eyes disappeared, and his body went limp.

“Tch, Alicia, your daughter died here. What would you do if you knew? I’m curious…” he said in a low voice, turning his head to look at Andrei, Bai Ke, and Ishikawa Yuya, who were staring at him with wide eyes, and chuckled.

"So many people have come to be buried with you. People born into the Chu family are different. Everyone treats you so well. Yes, you are people favored by heaven. How can you be like us, abandoned? You people who know nothing should just die so as not to bring disaster to this world..." As he spoke, he appeared in front of Ishikawa Yuya, pointed his fingers into a sword, and directly dug out his heart and crushed it.

"Pfft..." Ishikawa Yuya's vitality was ultimately much stronger than Hime Hideyu's. Even though his heart was gone, he didn't die instantly. He just glanced blankly at the Fallen Ones, then at the corpses of the others, and finally fixed his gaze on Hime Hideyu. He suddenly chuckled softly, "To die in the same way as you isn't so bad..."

His tall body slowly knelt down, the smile on his lips never fading, but his body was already like a stone sculpture.

"An angel has descended!" Andrei summoned an angel while he was killing Ishikawa Yuya.

However, before the gates of heaven could be fully opened, they were shattered by a black energy blast thrown by the Fallen One, leaving behind a few white wings that dissipated into the air.

“Foolish…” His hand was the sharpest sword, and with a gentle slash from behind Andrei, it cleaved his body in two.

As for Bai Ke? His body had already been broken into several pieces, all of which fell to the ground without a sound.

When Lina and the others arrived in their flying carriage, what they saw was Andrei's body split in two.

The surrounding area was a mixture of blood and snow; the few people who were perfectly fine just moments before were all dead.

Ji Xiuyu's body lay quietly under the tree, blood slowly flowing from the wound in her heart...

"How is it? Is it like hell?" Looking up at the few girls who didn't have much fighting power, and enjoying their terrified and bewildered expressions, the Fallen One couldn't hide his pride.

They killed all those so-called geniuses from the Heavenly Academy and obtained the Chu family's secret treasure. In the future, they will let everyone know the terror and suffering of those who have fallen.

Let all this fear begin today, hahaha...

As he laughed wildly, he failed to notice that in the endless sky, a milky-white crystal was silently falling towards Ji Xiuyu.

If anyone who knows this crystal sees it, they will surely be amazed; it is the legendary Moonstone.

Inside his pocket, the purple crystal was also emitting a faint glow, dreamlike and ethereal...

Chapter 48: Breaking Through the Sky

"How could this be..." Pale-faced, Bu Qingqing couldn't accept that the people who were just alive had all turned into corpses.

Lina, standing beside her, covered her lips with her hand, tears falling like raindrops onto her hand and clothes. This strong-willed girl had finally broken down.

"It's you, you bastard, give Xiuyu back to me!" After a moment of stunned silence, Riko jumped off the carriage like a madwoman and pounced on the Fallen One.

"Tch, little girl, didn't you want me to give it back to you? Fine, I'll give it back to you!" Reaching out and grabbing her neck, the Fallen One had no interest in these weak and powerless little creatures at all. With a slight exertion of his hand, he threw her toward Ji Xiuyu, who was lying under the tree.

"Bang..." The petite body crashed hard into the tree, and the girl couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, which splattered on Ji Xiuyu's blue cheongsam, drawing a beautiful blood flower on her.

My body hurts so much, I feel so powerless. Should we be bullied like this just because we are weak?

Despite falling to the ground, Riko remained stubborn. She looked up at the quiet Hime Hideyuki, reached out and crawled along the ground, slowly approaching her gradually cooling body.

"Riko!" Seeing Riko treated like this, Bu Qingqing also came to her senses a little and ran over to help her. But instead, she was kicked by the Fallen One, which accurately sent her crashing into a tree.

"Pfft..." She spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body was a little far from Ji Xiuyu, so the blood only splattered on her hands and didn't stain her clothes. But even so, it was still a shocking sight.

The two girls looked at each other across Ji Xiuyu from the left and right, and couldn't help but crawl forward, stretching out their left hands and interlocking their fingers with each other's, placing them on Ji Xiuyu's abdomen, feeling her body temperature gradually cooling down.

"I never thought we'd die here. I'm sorry, Riko. If I hadn't brought out the flying carriage, we wouldn't have come here, and you wouldn't be dead." At this moment, the only thing Bu Qingqing regretted was getting her friend involved in a struggle that she shouldn't have been involved in.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Riko said three times in a row. Although her body was in pain, she had a smile on her face. If she could be together when she died, that would be wonderful.

It's such a pity I couldn't see Hideyu one last time...

"Why is this happening? We did nothing wrong, why are we being treated like this..." Biting her lower lip, she tried not to cry, but her low voice carried an unbearable pain.

She really couldn't understand why the world, which should have been so beautiful, had turned out like this. Couldn't she just live a normal life?

“Foolish people.” Shaking his head, the Fallen One’s tone was full of sarcasm: “You haven’t experienced the most desperate things in the world, so you think this is beautiful. Once you have, you will be like this, and the world will never treat you kindly.”

No one knows what these so-called fallen ones have been through, but they have a natural hatred for humanity and a resentment that no one can explain to this day.

Why did they turn from heroes into degenerates? Why do they hate humanity so much? Why do they harbor such deep resentment?

All of this remains a mystery. Perhaps no one but the fallen ones themselves will ever know.

"So this is how you treat everyone?" Lina stopped crying and looked up at the Fallen One, wanting to know the answer.

The Fallen One burst into laughter, seemingly finding Lina's words extremely amusing, laughing uncontrollably. If one could see the upper half of his face hidden under his hood, they would have noticed that he was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face.

"Hahaha, they really are all a bunch of idiots?" He laughed for a moment, then suddenly stopped, his tone returning to its usual calm: "Yes, those who haven't experienced it have no idea what that kind of despair is. We've experienced it, so isn't it normal for us to inflict it on the world?"

"Let the world feel your pain? That's quite a reason that's hard to refute..." Lina looked at the fallen man and listened to his words, but found that she really had nothing to say.

Indeed, I haven't experienced his pain, so I can't say anything about it. But what about my own pain? Has he experienced it?

"Since that's the case, then kill me. You've killed everyone I love, and I'm left with no way to escape. I understand the pain of losing a loved one; doesn't that suit your taste?"

Hearing her words, the Fallen tilted his head and stared at her for a long time before finally saying, "Do you want to die? Who is the person you like?"

"The one whose heart you ripped out..." She was referring to Ishikawa Yuya, but the Fallen One thought it was Hime Hideyu. He was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, alright, I'll grant your wish..."

He teleported to her side, pinched her chin, and dropped a pill into her mouth. He whispered, "This is the most vicious death-slaying poison in the world. There is no cure. It will last for three days. The pain of gradually losing your life will make you feel the most real fear."

"That would be perfect..." She swallowed the life-severing pill without any hesitation.

Then she stared intently at the Fallen One, and when he reached out and grabbed her arm, her heart felt inexplicably complicated.

Just when she thought she would be thrown to Ishikawa Yuya's side, he threw her under the tree, next to Hime Hideyuki.

"Cough cough..." The Fallen One showed no mercy, throwing her over and slamming her to the ground, causing the poisoned girl to spit out a mouthful of slightly purple blood.

"Lina, why did you come here?" Bu Qingqing and Li Zi were quietly enjoying their last moments together. After all, even if the Fallen Ones didn't kill them now, they would surely die when monsters roamed at night.

But they didn't expect that Lina, who was supposed to be Ishikawa Yuya's girlfriend, would end up here instead of accompanying him.

“He misunderstood… But even if it’s just to stay with Xiuyu, it’s alright…” She got up and slowly walked to Ji Xiuyu’s side. She rested her head on her shoulder, smelling her lingering scent, closed her eyes, and endured the intense pain coming from her body.

Now, no one could leave. What was supposed to be a farce had ended up like this, something no one had expected.

After the Fallen Ones dealt with all their enemies, they did not leave. Instead, they stood there looking at the distant sky, where Alicia and the other two Fallen Ones were fighting. It seemed that they could not hold on any longer.

The moon spirit stone that fell from the sky silently merged into Ji Xiuyu's head without anyone noticing.

At that moment, the purple crystal in the Fallen One's pocket suddenly burst forth with dazzling light...

P.S.: There were no recommendations this week, which dampened my motivation to update more, so I'll just update once a day.

After all, I've tried using tips, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes to add extra chapters before, but it's all useless if you don't have enough ╮(╯_╰)╭~~

I don't seem to enjoy the main storyline much? Do you guys really think I'm going to abandon this story prematurely? Sigh...

Chapter 49: Goddess

"What's going on?" The purple crystal was emitting not only light, but also heat capable of scorching everything.

The Fallen One's pocket suddenly burst into flames, and the crystal fell from beside him, but instead of hitting the ground, it hovered in mid-air.

This surprised and delighted him. If it was so magical, it must be a real crystal, and he hadn't taken the wrong one.

But what's going on here? Sensing its energy, the Fallen One bent down nonchalantly, trying to scoop it up in his hands.

Unfortunately, the crystal's brilliance and heat were not so simple. The moment his hand touched it, it was like an ordinary piece of meat touching a red-hot iron plate; a large chunk of meat was charred.

The pain made him pull his hand away, but he couldn't resist his greed and reached out again.

"Sizzle~" Crystal didn't hold back this time, and purple flames ignited, scorching half of his hand.

"Ah!" Even though he had experienced all the foreseeable pain in the world, the flames of the burning crystal were the kind of divine fire that directly damaged the soul, and he simply could not bear it.

"Damn it, what's going on?" Something unexpected must have happened to cause this change, so the source can only be that person from the Chu family!

Turning his head, he looked at Ji Xiuyu lying under the tree and found that she hadn't changed. The only thing that had changed was the amethyst. So what exactly happened?

As he was pondering, a white light, even more dazzling than the sun, suddenly emanated from Ji Xiuyu's body, instantly enveloping the entire mountaintop.

A beam of light shot towards the sky from her center, breaking through a barrier and burning any living thing that approached it to ashes.

This light seemed to be the descent of God, or perhaps the beginning of a great catastrophe, with God destroying the world.

In short, regardless of the circumstances, it is a fact that Ji Xiuyu experienced an unexpected event that the Fallen Ones were unaware of.

"Playing tricks!" The Fallen are inherently hostile to all beings of order, let alone the gods who maintain order. It is fair to say that they represent beings that are hated, despised, and abandoned by the gods.

Therefore, how could he possibly be afraid of God? Not to mention that this change occurred to an ordinary person who previously had no power whatsoever.
