Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Supreme Kai? and Newcomers Joining the Group

What's going on?

King Yama is dead? And he was killed in the Underworld.

"Who killed King Yama?" Beryl furrowed her brows tightly.

Only a God whose dimension is higher than his could kill King Yama in the Underworld.

If it were an ordinary person, even a powerful dead person, they would absolutely not be able to do it, and would even be suppressed.

Unless one can break the boundary between soul and body by oneself, which is the God-level.

And not the kind of God-level like Vegeta and Son Goku in the original work, who are fundamentally only pseudo-gods.

"It's... it's Lord Kai. He wanted King Yama to do something, but King Yama didn't agree, and then..."

"Kai! There's no Kai!"

Hearing what the Ox-Head on the other side said, Beryl's voice revealed anger.

"Didn't I say to send me a message directly when you see him? Why didn't King Yama send me a message?"

"Where is that guy now?"

"I... I don't know. Lord Kai seems to have gone to Hell." The Ox-Head's voice trembled slightly.

"There is no Kai. That guy doesn't deserve to be a Kai." Beryl suppressed her anger.

"Go call Horse-Face and the others to maintain order in the Underworld and Heaven, especially to maintain the entrance and exit of Hell, so that the souls inside don't escape."

"I will personally deal with the matters inside Hell later."

"Yes, yes, yes... Your subordinate understands."

"Oh, right." Beryl pondered for a moment, then instructed the Ox-Head: "If there's really not enough manpower, let those guys in Heaven who only eat and don't work, who are focused on self-preservation, come out and move a bit. Afterwards, I'll give each of them a Spirit Tree Fruit."

"I...I understand."

The communicator's screen disappeared, and Beryl took a deep breath.

What was bound to come has finally arrived.

But, King Yama didn't even have time to send me a message?

Suddenly, Beryl thought of something and turned her gaze to the Chat Group.

[World's No. 1 Princess: "Sorry, I've run into some problems on my end, so the live broadcast will end here."]

[Kumoko: "Um... Group Leader, you can go handle your business first. You can... you can broadcast live again whenever you're free."]

Kumoko's words were a bit disjointed.

Especially the scene from the live broadcast just now, the Group Leader's angry appearance really scared her. It was her first time seeing the Group Leader angry.

Not long after Kumoko finished speaking, Beryl's avatar showed as offline.

[Kumoko: "Phew—she's finally gone."]

[Kumoko: "Did you guys feel how scary the Group Leader was just now?"]

[Kikyo: "Indeed, the Group Leader's expression was one of extreme anger."]

[Haibara Ai: "It might be related to that so-called Kai. After the Group Leader heard the word 'Kai', her tone, compared to before, was clearly very different, it was like..."]

[Lumine: "That's hatred. The Group Leader and that Kai must have some kind of interaction, and something happened during it that made the Group Leader extremely angry."]

As the Princess of the Abyss who ruled the Abyss, having experienced the destruction of Khaenri'ah five hundred years ago, Princess of the Abyss had a certain resonance with that deeply ingrained feeling, even through the screen.

[Kumoko: "So... what do you think it could be?"]

[Lumine: "We don't know much about the Group Leader's affairs. The only thing I can think of is one thing, but I'm not sure."]

[Lumine: "The Group Leader mentioned before that her divine position was inherited. Her tone at the time made me feel that the previous God of Destruction..."]

[Uchiha Madara: "@Lumine, don't discuss these things anymore, and don't speculate. If the Group Leader wants us to know, she will naturally tell us."]

When it comes to grudges and grievances, it's best for outsiders not to get involved.

Having once orchestrated Uchiha Obito's blackening, Uchiha Madara had a certain grasp of human nature.

The Group Leader is a God, so it might be even more dangerous.

[Kumoko: "Then let's not discuss it anymore."]

[Kumoko: "..."]

[Kumoko: "..."]

[Kumoko: "..."]

[Kumoko: "..."]

[Kumoko: "..."]

[Uchiha Madara: "?"]

[Uchiha Madara: "@Kumoko, what are you doing?"]

Why are you inexplicably spamming ellipses?

[Kumoko: "I want to turn the chat log page. That way, as long as the Group Leader doesn't scroll through the previous messages, she won't know what we were just talking about."]

[Haibara Ai: "It's more like an attempt to cover up a mistake."]

[Lumine: "@Kumoko, little spider, you're not that timid, are you?"]

[Kumoko: "This is my strong will to survive, not timidity."]

[Ding! The Wandering Witch has joined the Chat Group.]

[Ding! The Cursed Archmage has joined the Chat Group.]

The sudden insertion of two system notifications caused the discussion in the Chat Group to immediately cease.

[Kikyo: "There are new group members."]

[Haibara Ai: "From their nicknames, they don't seem to be from a mundane world."]

[Kumoko: "Welcome new members, I am your lovely Kumoko."]

[Uchiha Madara: "Welcome new members to the group. New members, please carefully check the Group Member Guidelines. Detailed information has been transmitted to you when you joined the group."]

[Uchiha Madara: "Oh, right, I'm the group administrator. The Group Leader has left due to an emergency. If you have any questions, you can ask me."]

Having had one welcoming experience before, Uchiha Madara was now quite familiar with the process.

A moment of silence fell in the Chat Group.

[The Wandering Witch: "What an interesting thing, I thought it was magic, but it's not!"]

[The Cursed Archmage: "Are there any extremely powerful beings? That's great, may I ask, can you kill me?"]

[Uchiha Madara: "?"]

[Lumine: "?"]

[Kumoko: "?"]

[Everyone else: "?"]

The first sentence from this new group member stumped all the other group members.

[Kumoko: "Um... may I ask carefully, no offense, @The Cursed Archmage, are you a bit crazy?"]

Kumoko was speechless. She kept leveling up and improving herself, still thinking about how to survive when Evil God D destroyed the planet, and now a heavyweight newcomer arrived.

The first thing this newcomer asked was who could kill him.

[The Cursed Archmage: "I've lived too long, and I only bring misfortune to others. I hope someone can kill me."]

[Uchiha Madara: "This is the first time I've seen someone make such a request."]

Uchiha Madara was at a loss for how to answer the other party for a moment.

He himself was a dead man, still thinking about how to come back to life, and now there was someone who felt he had lived too long and was tired of living.

It was like a rich man not understanding the hunger of a poor man.

[Kumoko: "@The Cursed Archmage, may I ask one more question? Senior, how old are you now?"]

Could it be an old immortal who has lived for thousands of years, now bored with life and planning to end himself?

[The Cursed Archmage: "I don't remember the exact time, but it's probably around 400 years."]

[Kumoko: "What? Only 400 years old and you're already thinking of giving up? I thought at least a few thousand!"]

It's just 400, not counting other worlds, even in her own current world, what with Dragon God Güliedistodiez, what with Evil God D, which one hasn't lived longer than him?

Especially that Evil God D, counting in thousands of years is considered little.

[Kumoko: "@The Cursed Archmage, actually, you're still very young, don't give up. Among our group members, there's one who's at least 500 years old, and perhaps when there are more people in the group later, 400 years might not even rank."]

[Lumine: "..."]

Damn, this spider is getting carried away. Don't think I don't know you're talking about me just because you didn't say my name.

[Uchiha Madara: "@The Cursed Archmage, Kumoko is right, 400 years old is still very young."]

If it were before, Uchiha Madara might have been surprised, but now… 400 years old? He, Uchiha Madara, might also live that long.

[The Cursed Archmage: "My existence only brings misfortune to others, because I touched taboo and was cursed by a God..."]

He told the group members about his situation. To be honest, he had nothing to be wary of with the group members, after all, he wanted them to kill him.

[Lumine: "Touching the taboo of life and death, leading to an undying and unaging curse from a God, and the more one cherishes life, the more easily surrounding lives wither."]

[Zeref: "That's right, that's exactly it. In these past few hundred years, I've unintentionally killed many people."]

Zeref changed his nickname in the group to his own name.

[Elaina: "Um... @Zeref, your magic must be very powerful, could you teach me?"]

Seeing Zeref change his nickname, Elaina also changed her nickname from 'The Wandering Witch' to her own name.
