Against The Heavens - 151 Gluttonera.
The gray mist seeping out from the cracks rose higher and higher, entire islands completely vanishing as the mist swept over them. The mist luckily stopped just before it reached Li Yang and the others, all of the mist suddenly getting sucked right back into the cracks. The cracks suddenly expanded and connected once all the mist receded into them, all the cracks gathering together to form a single massive chasm that seemed to compete with the crack in the sky that Xiang Hong had created.
A soft whooshing sound drifted out from the crack as a human figure slowly became more and more apparent. A rather tall and burly man with rather ashen skin and a bald head rose from the chasm, his hands clasped behind his back as a gust of wind brought him higher and higher. The man had peach-colored eyes that were looking at the solemn Xiang Hong with a rather victorious expression. When the man fully rose up from the chasm and set foot on the edge, both Xiang Hong and Mang Tengzou spoke up at the same time, one grimly while the other was ecstatic.
“Your Lordship!”
“Lin Qiu, I see that you want to get sealed up once more.”
Mao Tengzou completely ignored Xiang Hong and kneeled down in the air, reverently lowering his head towards the man who was called Lin Qiu. Xiang Hong also completely ignored Mao Tengzou, but he raised his arm and pointed at Lin Qiu, a small orb of water immediately forming before vanishing. It was the same attack he launched against Mao Tengzou when he first arrived, but this time it moved far faster than the first time,the line of shattered laws and Qi left in its wake was also much larger, almost as thick as a watermelon.
Lin Qiu raised his right arm and gave a light wave of his hand, unleashing a nearly invisible energy that not only created a screen in front of him, it even appeared in front of Li Yang and the others. The hearts of Li Yang and the others clenched when they sensed this energy appear in front of them. The remaining humanoid figures unleashed by Mao Tengzou had stopped moving when the gray mist rose, but it seemed like their temporary reprieve from the attacks was ending right away.
But contrary to what they expected to happen, the screen of energy rippled slightly as something hit it, a few drops of water sliding down the screen before dropping to the ground. Li Yang and the others didn’t need to be geniuses to understand that Xiang Hong’s attack had included them, and that Lin Qiu had protected them. Lin Qiu, who was completely unharmed after blocking Xiang Hong’s attack, waved his finger in front of his face, clicking his tongue at Xiang Hong.
“Tsk tsk, come on now, no need to be so pissy with the children, how were they supposed to know that the law of destruction could break the seal? As for sealing me, come on now Little Hong, we both know that you specialize in defense and surviving. I’m not capable of killing you, but neither are you capable of killing me or sealing me. When I want to leave, you won’t be able to stop me.”
Li Yang could feel his heart thumping when he heard Lin Qiu’s casual and even somewhat lazy remark. This Xiang Hong had already displayed strength far above anything Li Yang had ever imagined, but he supposedly specialized in defense and survivability? While Li Yang and the others were fully focused on the stand-off between Xiang Hong and Lin Qiu, while also trying to figure out the best time for escaping, a somewhat cold voice rang out from behind them, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
“The law of destruction is not a toy, it is one of the greatest weapons in the multiverse. Due to its special ability to destroy everything, you should only use it when you are completely certain that there is nothing in the area that you don’t want to destroy. It’s for the best that you keep that in mind for the future.”

Li Yang and the others quickly turned their heads, their hearts lurching from the unexpected voice and what it meant, someone had managed to sneak up on them completely unnoticed. There was a small human-sized rift in space not far behind them, an uncharacteristic black emptiness visible within the rift. And stepping out of this rift was a slim youth clad in a blue robe, his snow-white hair was tied into a neat ponytail, only a few strands of hair hanging over his pitch-black eyes.
Li Yang felt two things from this youth, a slight resonance from his law of destruction and a soul-shaking fear that felt like it came from a primal level, he was completely certain that this youth was on the same level as Xiang Hong and Lin Qiu. Luckily, the youth walked past Li Yang and the others after giving his advice, his slightly flickering gaze locked on Lin Qiu, whose expression turned solemn when he saw the youth.
“Gluttonera, of course my luck is so shit that you ended up being nearby just as the seal finally broke.”
Contrary to the attitude he had when faced with Xiang Hong, Lin Qiu wore a solemn, nearly grim expression as he looked at the youth, who he called Gluttonera. Seeing that Gluttonera was completely ignoring his words, Lin Qiu sent him a slight sneer, grumbling and taunting him in a low voice.
“Not even willing to talk to me, are you? You and that Hades are just as bad, if not worse, than us. How much havoc have you wrought on this multiverse, how many more universes have the two of you destroyed? Tell me, that minor universe of yours, how did it taste? It was your first, wasn’t it? Was it nice and filling for the Gluttonous God?”
Gluttonera’s expression remained calm and casual despite Lin Qiu’s taunts, his steps not slowing once. He stretched out his right arm and gathered some black light in his palm, the outline of a spear starting to form in his grasp as he spoke up.
“I don’t much mind you calling me those things, but if Brother Hao finds out you called him Hades again, I think he might just be liable to smash you down once more. Let’s try to avoid causing such a chaotic scene, so how about you just die right here and now?”
Lin Qiu clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw that Gluttonera didn’t bother much with him. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the spear that was quickly forming in Gluttonera’s grasp, space already starting to creak and crack before it had even formed. His eyes moved to the side and landed on Li Yang and the others, his tongue clicking once more.
“This isn’t a place for kiddos like you, consider this another repayment for unsealing me.”
Lin Qiu raised his arm and snapped his fingers, space around Li Yang and the others starting to twist and distort around them, it was like tentacles wrapping around them and pulling them away. The last they managed to see before they were all pulled through space were the massive spatial cracks that spread all throughout the air as Gluttonera’s spear fully manifested.
