Chapter 581 Memorial Part 1
Blake frowned. He did not like the fact that Anu was giving up everything to seal the gate, but if this is what Anu came up with, then it was most likely the only way. "I will be sure to keep all of this in mind. I will also research a way to seal the gate in a different way, so maybe one day, I can bring you back to life."
Anu could only smile. If there was such a way, he also wished to know. But for now, this was the only option. "I will wait for that day. You go step back. I will now start the formation. Once you see me starting to turn to stone, you can start time again."
"Alright. Anu, I promise that one day I will figure out a way to revive you."? Blake did not like making empty promises. He was setting a goal for himself. He would find a way to allow Anu and his daughter to meet face to face without hiding anything.
"I am starting." Anu began the sealing process.
Blake stood at the side and watched as the ground lit up in a complicated pattern. Each of these lines had to be precise for the entire formation would not work, or it would cause the seal to be weak. Each of these lines converged into a single spot before a single line shot out towards the gate. That single spot was where Anu stood. He looked at Blake with a smile on his lips and his hands behind his back. He looked like a silly old man with how he was acting.
"It's time…" Blake saw that Anu's feet were starting to turn to stone. He waved his hand, causing time to continue. As it did, Anu's entire body turned to stone instantly.? The glowing line under Anu's feet shot towards the gate of the underworld, causing a loud banging sound to be heard. The entire gate shook before the vortex within the door that was spinning away slowly came to a stop. The blackish purple vortex turned gray. A gray light shot up from the gate and spread out around the gate, causing a gray dome to appear.
"It's like time stopped just inside the barrier." Blake placed his hand on the barrier and felt that it was very powerful. Even with his current power, he did not think he could break this seal. Even if there were thousands of him, he probably could not break it. "This is a strange barrier…."
"What did you do!?" A loud roar came from above. Blake looked up to see Kronkle standing there, staring at him with bloodshot eyes. His murderous intent was visible for all to see.
"Kronkle!" Sandrea appeared next to her brother. She had her sword drawn and was stabbing towards his head.
"Sandrea! You bitch!" Kronkle quickly dodged and appeared in front of Blake. He raised his fist and shot it forward. Just as it was about to hit Blake, Blake's body suddenly vanished. Kronkle, who did not expect his target to disappear, almost lost his balance in the air and fell over. What stopped him was someone's hand gripping the back side of his head.
"Who said you can call my wife a bitch?" Blake's cold voice filled the air.
Sandrea, who was about to rush forward, stopped dead in her tracks. She was stunned by the sudden burst of power that was coming from Blake. "This power….."
"Ow! Ow! OW! Ouch! Shit, let go!" Kronkle struggled under Blake's grip but could not remove the hand that was grasping the top of his head. He felt wind rush by his ears as Blake picked him up and suddenly slammed him towards the ground!
*Boom!*
A large crater Formed in the ground. Blake stood high in the sky and looked down at the crater that Kronkle was not currently lying in and snorted coldly. "If you were not Sandrea's brother, I would have just killed you!"
"Husband…." Sandrea slowly floated down and stood next to Blake. He turned and gave Sandrea a small smile and reached out and grabbed her hand. "Everything will be fine. The gate is sealed. The rest of the devils have been wiped out. We just need to decide what you want to do with your brother, and then we can head back."
"Okay…" Sandrea let out a small sigh. She looked down at her brother and knew no matter what, he would rather die than give up anything else. As she took a step forward, she said: "I will kill him myself."
"No." Blake pulled her back. "The blood of family should never be on another family member. I will do it. I just wanted to know how you wished to deal with it."
"I…." Sandrea pursed her lips. "Can…. Can you force a contract on him?"
Blake smiled and pulled Sandrea into his arms. He looked deep into her eyes before gently kissing her lips. Sandrea blushed from ear to ear. But she liked the feeling of her man kissing her. As they parted, Blake poked her cheek and said: "I will make it so he can never harm another person. He will have to live his life as such from this day forward."
"Thank you." Sandrea eyes turned slightly red as she held back her tears. She really did not want to kill another family member. She had learned through Blake what family truly was. She hoped that her brother would one day also come to his senses.
Blake floated down into the crater that was formed from Kronkle's body. And landed in front of the devil, who was sitting up in a bit of a daze. "Kronkle, from this moment on, you are forbidden to cause any harm to the people of this planet. You also can not take your own life. You are forbidden to even try to break the seal that has been placed on the gate. You will only be able to learn a new way of life here on this planet and protect it from now on. This is your punishment."
With these words, before Kronkle could say a word, he felt a sharp pain in the pit of his soul, causing him to start at Blake in disbelief. "You! What did you do!?"
"You are now free to do as you please except for those rules burned into your soul. It will keep you from being able to do anything even if you want to." Blake did not elaborate anymore and flew up into the air. He turned towards the gods who were slowly moving towards him. "From this moment on the war is over. The gate is sealed but at great cost. We will be holding a memorial for Anu in a short while. For now, everyone should rest."
