Soul Of Negary Chapter 114 - Vol2 Ch12: [Loneliness] And [Stray Arrow]

Chapter 114: Vol2 Ch12: [Loneliness] and [Stray Arrow]

Translator: La0o9

Wan Heng Yang’s Disaster Authority stems from his own experiences, losing his wife and children, being alone near the end of his life, this was a kind of disaster for a lot of people.

Authority: [Loneliness], its power was to make everyone around a certain person accidentally or unintentionally leave them at a certain period of time, in worst-case scenarios, this could even become a permanent separation.

It was not that Wan Heng Yang didn’t want to directly use this Authority on Zhao s.h.i.+ Chang, but rather because that b.a.s.t.a.r.d wouldn’t care. He took Wan Heng Yang’s wife not because he truly loved her, but rather because he enjoyed the feeling of conquering women who were originally far out of his reach.

But once he was tired of her, he filed for a divorce without hesitation. For people like him, the only thing he valued was authority and money. As long as he had these, women and friends would flock to him instead of the other way around, so loneliness didn’t matter.

Use my power on the Disaster King Fang Ze while he still hasn’t fully awakened and kill him.

A sickly smile appeared on Wan Heng Yang’s face, combined with the haggard expression from his long years of effort made him appear very eerie.

He could already imagine, after the death of the Disaster King, the planetoids in the sky would start falling towards Earth. The celestial body would rub against the atmosphere, burn fiery red and strike the 6th domain head-on. Even if the meteorite wasn’t big, it would still be enough to destroy the entire 6th domain.

Those who took no actions, the people indifferent to his suffering, criminals who got to live freely without persecution of the Law, all of them would be equally powerless against the falling star.

With the thing those guys gave me, they won’t notice me. When my Authority takes effect, that young man will have been by himself.

Wan Heng Yang stroked the device on his arm and began to use his Authority without hesitation: [Loneliness], the target was the newly born Disaster King Apophis: Fang Ze.

He imagined the picture of Fang Ze that those people provided, then exercised the power of this Authority.

Even if Disaster Authorities had different functions and different levels of accompanying Disasforce, as long as an Authority was exercised, it would definitely take effect. Although, it was hard to say to what degree.

For example, the Disaster King who held the [Solar Storm] Authority, after he was a.s.sa.s.sinated, a solar storm did erupt with the target being Earth. The disaster happened, but after the interference of another Disaster King’s ability, the solar storm missed and did almost nothing.

In other words, after an Authority was exercised, a disaster would definitely occur, but it was impossible to tell what kind of results the disaster would actually produce.

This was where his group of collaborators came in. After he used his Authority, the people who stayed around Fang Ze to protect him would definitely encounter various accidents that lead them to separate from him, but the amount of time that they did so for was uncertain.

What his collaborators had to do was hold those people back and extend the period of Fang Ze’s isolated and helpless state as long as possible.

As for who his collaborators actually were, Wan Heng Yang didn’t know, only that their representative, w.a.n.g Zhao, suddenly approached him to provide funds for his court appeal and the instrument on his arm that could suppress Disasforce fluctuation, at the same time used his [Crime Disaster] Authority on him.

It was also thanks to this that Wan Heng Yang attempted to use his Authority and Disasforce to kill some of the VIPs who prevented his appeal from going through, hoping to intimidate them so that they would repent. But if people repented so easily, there wouldn’t be an idiom that said ‘no regret even in death’.

…

Fang Ze was walking on the street with a helpless expression on his face. It’s been so long since he had a day off, yet he still had to go shopping together with this little missy. As he watched the excited Liu s.h.i.+ walking in front of him, Fang Ze face-palmed and complained: “Is this person really here to protect me? Why do I feel like I’m taking care of her instead?”

Despite saying so, for an only-child like Fang Ze, the feeling of being accompanied by someone actually felt nice.

His parents had been working overseas for a very long time, hardly ever showing themselves at home. Throughout his childhood, they had been relying on Qiao Jie’s family next door for a lot of things, but regardless of how good the two families’ relations.h.i.+p was, they still had their own lives, so he couldn’t bother them too much.

“Make way, make way” some people in colourful clown costumes were carrying props not too far from where they were. Fang Ze naturally dodged them and noticed that a new shop had set up the stage for its opening ceremony, inviting these circus troupe people to perform.

Quite a few people were crowding around them to watch the show, being pushed by that crowd, Fang Ze suddenly felt his pocket becoming lighter. When he turned around, he found that his wallet had fallen out due to his pants being caught on a protruding tree branch and ripped.

Liu s.h.i.+ who was walking in front of him had already been pushed out of sight by the crowd of people. While both of them were Authority Holders, they weren’t crazy enough to use Disasforce within such a crowd. Disasforce wasn’t omnipotent, in fact, most of the time the only thing Disasforce could actually do was destroy.

Although there had been some research on the application of Disasforce and produced some results, such research was under strict control by the government. Authority Holders were already strong enough, so unless absolutely necessary, they weren’t willing to let them grow even stronger.

The performance on the stage had already begun, the people crowded around the stage, Fang Ze bent down to pick up his wallet and the performer on the stage was doing a fire-eating trick.

Under the influence of some power, the performer who had put the flaming torch in front of his mouth and was about to spit the kerosene out to breath fire suddenly felt his throat itchy, choked and vomited the kerosene in his mouth instead of blowing it forward.

The inflamed kerosene fell on the stage, igniting it on fire while a staff backstage was preparing some fireworks to shoot into the sky. There was a strict ban on unauthorized fireworks in the city, but as long as you only prepared 1-2 of them, no one would actually care to enforce anything.

Seeing the performer running into a problem, the stagehand quickly ran on stage to help and tripped a few fireworks at his feet. Some sparks just happened to scatter and landed exactly on the fuse of the fireworks. As everyone was in a panic, the sound of the firecracker fuse burning did not get noticed right away.

The fireworks prepared here was called the Heaven Shaking Thunder, known for making a huge noise as it is shot to the air. But if this struck someone on their head or neck, it could actually be fatal, so as the popping of fireworks started to come out, the entire area was plunged into chaos.

Panic and fearful shouts filled the entire street. There had been people trampled to death during busy commuting hours in underground subways, let alone such a scene of chaos. Now that everyone was in a panic, most of the people here were acting on their pure instincts to escape.

Within the chaos, Fang Ze noticed that several people around him were protecting him, either intentionally or unintentionally, completely unlike the panicking crowd running for their lives.

“Disperse” in the chaos, Fang Ze seemed to hear Liu s.h.i.+’s voice.

Liu s.h.i.+’s name was ominous, as her name was also the Disaster Authority that she held.1

Authority: [Stray Arrow], referring to an arrow that randomly flies towards someone or something that wasn’t its target. Of course, in today’s society, this usually meant stray bullets more than arrows, but the meaning was essentially referring to items that were flying randomly or flying without aim.

Fang Ze sighed in relief, since Liu s.h.i.+ was here, the stray fireworks would find it hard to actually hurt someone. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a [Trampling] disaster Authority Holder among them, otherwise, they could stabilize the trampling being caused by this chaos.
