Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — The Day the Unicorn Left
The chest collapsed, the ribs completely disappeared. The scariest thing is the big hole in the heart, empty, even the heart is gone.
“No… no…”
Loi Liet knelt down in the mud, his hands wanted to touch that body, but he didn't dare.
“Why is it like that… I only took the kneecap…”
“I don't want you to die…”
He went crazy and hugged the broken body in his arms. Cold. Bone-chilling cold. There was no longer any warm feedback of divine power like before.
"Thu Y! Wake up! Don't scare me!"
"I'm Loi Liet! Don't you like stroking my mane the most? Wake up and hit me!"
He tried to inject beast power into her body, but her body was like an empty funnel. Even the inner pill is gone, how can I maintain my vitality?
“Noi Dan... that's right, Nei Dan!”
Loi Liet suddenly remembered the pearl Thuong Phong brought back. That is Thu Y's network! Just take the Nei Dan back and put it back into her body, who knows if it can still be saved! He firmly believes so. Holding that devastated body, Loi Lie frantically rushed back to the tribe. At this time, the tribe had turned into hell. Tieu Uyen and Thuong Phong are leading the remaining beastmen to defend themselves at the altar. Seeing Loi Liet return holding the body, everyone was stunned.
“Is that… a goddess?”
An old beastman asked tremblingly. 9 Loi Liet rushed up to the altar and placed the body in front of Tieu Uyen.
"Quick! Take out the inner pill! Give it back to her!"
Tieu Uyen looked at the deformed body, the bone knife in her hand fell to the ground. The calmness he was always proud of completely collapsed.
“This is… Letter of Intent?”
The person always following him, smiling and calling him "A Uyen" - Is that Thu Y? The person who used to block the sword for him on the battlefield did not complain of pain when he bled - Is that Thu Y? Now it's like a torn puppet, torn into pieces.
"Where is the internal pill? Thuong Phong! Quickly take out the internal pill!"
Loi Liet rushed to To To and squeezed her neck.
"Spit it out! Give Thu Y's life back!"
To To was squeezed until her eyes widened and she desperately slapped his hand. Thuong Phong rushed to stop him.
"You are crazy! To To will die!"
“Thu Y is dead!”
Loi Liet punched Thuong Phong straight in the face.
"You ripped out her heart! You killed her!"
Thuong Phong was beaten until the corner of his mouth bled, but did not object. He looked at the body, his eyes empty. He is the most rational person. So he understood best, after losing his heart and inner pill, even if Dai Luo Kim Tien came, he couldn't save him.
“It's useless…”
Thuong Phong muttered.
“She's dead.”
“I'm really dead.”
At that moment, To To suddenly vomited violently.
“Err—”
The golden internal pill was vomited out by her. Roll to the ground. Full of stomach fluids and dirt. But as soon as it hit the ground, the inner pill that was originally radiating golden light suddenly turned into a gray stone. Then there's a "crack" sound. Crumble into powder. A wind blew and disappeared. The moment the internal pill broke. A sigh sounded between heaven and earth. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light descended from the sky, covering the entire altar. That light was sacred and majestic, causing all the ferocious beasts that were still killing to kneel to the ground and tremble. Tieu Uyen, Loi Liet, Mac Ly, Thuong Phong and the entire clan also instinctively knelt down. In the stream of light, an illusory figure slowly appeared. That's me. But it's not like I have a body full of injuries and struggles. But I wear gold armor, feet stepping on good clouds, restoring the unicorn's true body.
“Italian Letter!”
Tieu Uyen screamed, wanting to reach out and grab the hem of my shirt.
"You're not dead! I know you're a divine beast, you don't die that easily!"
"Quick! Quickly save the tribe! Chase away these ferocious beasts!"
His hand passed through my illusion. I looked down at them from above, my eyes cold.
“Co Thu Y... is dead.”
10 My voice echoes between heaven and earth, carrying supreme divine pressure.
“I died that rainy night, when you skinned me, cut me open, and chopped my bones.”
“What you see before you—is the last divine mind of the Unicorn clan.”
The smile on Tieu Uyen's face stiffened.
“No… don't joke like that.”
“You're just mad at us, right?”
"We know we were wrong, we will definitely make it up to you well in the future..."
“Compensate?”
I smiled softly, my finger pointing up into the air. A curtain of light appeared in mid-air. In it, all the events that happened in the past few days were replayed. The coldness when Tieu Uyen tore my forensic medicine. The calmness when Loi Liet crushed his kneecap. The look of disgust in my eyes when Mac Ly pulled out all my ribs. The absolute heartlessness when Thuong Phong ripped out my heart. Each image was like a hammer blow straight into the hearts of all the beastmen present. The clansmen who once blamed the goddess for not saving them were now silent, their faces pale with fear and shame. It turns out, the goddess was not the one who abandoned them. But they were personally killed by the kings they revered the most.
“Is this your compensation?”
I looked at four men kneeling on the ground.
“What have I done for you in the past ten years?”
“I block the thunder, fight the beast tide, and calm the pandemic.”
“What is the return?”
“Just because a trans woman lied, you guys ripped out my heart, cut my flesh and swallowed it.”
My eyes fell on To To who was cowering at the corner of the altar. She was so scared that she trembled and crawled into the crowd of people looking for a place to hide.
“You love her so much, you feel she is more precious than me.”
“So from now on, let her protect you.”
I raised my hand, palm facing down, coldly declaring:
"I - in the name of Ky Lan - revoke all the divine blessings bestowed on the four clans of White Tiger, Lion, Teng Xa, and Dai Bang."
“From today, abandoned by god.”
As soon as my words ended.
