Against Heaven's Will-Chapter 14 - Surrender Now!

At the same time, few streets away from the scene, a patrol of City Guards was moving on their usual route. They scanned the Capital every day, showing their presence to the Citizens to make sure everyone felt safe.

"Captain, I think something is wrong. Look at the streets. Everyone is rushing in one direction…"

One of the Guards approached the Captain, pointing out his worries. One could quickly tell who was the City Guard Team Captain by their chest plate armor. It had a red eagle painted on it while the rest had carried a white eagle.

There was a reason why they were commonly known as flying eagles, being the only ones who could legally fly in the city.

The Captain gazed down and fair enough, many were moving in the opposite direction of their route. They weren't panicking as if they run from something but instead excited.

"Hey, you! Where are you all running to?!" the Captain called out without hesitation, stopping one of the youngsters rushing through the street.

They didn't receive notification from the Spirit about any fights in their region, so it had to be something entirely different.

He was wrong.

"My friend said someone is fighting not far away! A Heavenly Beauty already killed six scammers!" the youngster called out as he passed by them, not even stopping not to lose his momentum.

With so many people rushing in one direction, everyone else joined them as well, even though they didn't know where they were running. It was the psychology of the crowd. If everyone was running, they probably had a good reason too.

The Capitan wasn't even bothered with him, busy scolding in his mind.

'Almighty! Why didn't we received a notice?!'

Each time something happened that required their attention, the Spirit would notify them immediately. That was the reason why their system provided the best security.

'Six dead bodies detected—cleaners already on their way. No battle recorded,' the Spirit called Almighty replied right away, not giving him much information.

'Someone is killing! What do you mean no battle recorded? What is happening there?' The Capital called out while snapping his fingers at his team, already on his way. 'What are the commands from the headquarters?!'

'No commands. Stay on your route. No killing recorded. Six men died from unknown reasons. No initiator recorded. Stay on your route. Cleaners on the way.'

"Fuck," the Captain cursed, ignoring the Spirit and ordered to his men, "Follow me!"

There was no way six men would die for no reason. Something must have happened.

Wu was chilling on Nuwa's side, playing with her Infinity Blade as if asking the last four men to attack them. Once they do, she will have the full right to retaliate and kill them.

She was already used to Nuwa's overpowered ability, recalling the time all of them searched for their Fate Spirits. There was only a certain number of Fate Spirits, and they weren't born with their own like Xuefeng, for example. Their only option to get one was to kill someone else with the Fate Spirit and convince it to connect with them instead.

Thankfully, with Ming, the ex-Queen of all Fate Spirits, it wasn't a problem.

Eventually, all of them found and connected with the Fate Spirits they liked, but Nuwa was the last one to get theirs. She was searching for something unique that will match her.

Even while fighting the top experts within the Fate Organization of the Earth Realm, she didn't find what she searched for. In the end, her dreamlike Fate Spirit wasn't connected with top Cultivator but instead a weak bottom ranker.

The Fate Spirit's ability was called Soul Amplifier, the power to make your soul stronger.

In anyone else's hands, it wouldn't do much, but for Nuwa, whose main strength came from her soul, it was the perfect Fate Spirit. When she experienced Nuwa's Soul Realm for the first time, Wu knew she would be safe around her.

Unfortunately, it had one fatal flaw. If someone's soul was more powerful than hers, it could heavily damage her soul and even kill her. It wasn't something she could play around too often.

Seeing the men were ready to run away, already giving up fighting her, Nuwa proposed a deal to make them stay. She wouldn't be able to kill them if they run away.

"How about you gift me your ID Cards and all your belongings? Today is my birthday. I thought it would be nice of you to give me a present. What do you think?" Nuwa asked while collecting the Storage Rings of the six masked men.

They flew on their own and landed on top of her palm.

"See how nice they were? They prepared their gifts for me," Nuwa said happily while showing the rings. "Shouldn't you follow their example? I will let you go right after. It seems you are busy men."

Pffft!

How different was it from a robbery? You are just trying to bypass the laws!

Though the crowd found it funny, the four men didn't. They were already sweating buckets, wanting to run. Hearing the proposal, they didn't hesitate, taking off their rings. They only had one life, and they didn't want to share the fate of their partners.

"Please, spare us! Take our belongings as an apology!" the men called out, kneeling on the ground.

"Oh, my! You are so generous. Are those for me? Thank you very much. I don't usually accept gifts, but I will make an exception today," Nuwa called out in surprise, acting guilty to accept their rings.

Milady, you proposed it yourself!

Even Wu chuckled under her hood, but once Nuwa collected the last four rings, silence engulfed the scene once again.

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

The four men face planted to the pavement, their heads cracking open on the shiny rock.

Merciless!

Everyone described Nuwa in that one word.

She didn't hesitate to do what she claimed, performing the worst offense—killing in the Safe Zone. Not only that, but she also did it ten times!

How is she going to avoid punishment?

"City Guards arrived!"

Someone shouted, making the crowd gazed at the sky.

Nuwa and Wu did the same. A team of ten, all having white eagles on their chests while one had a red one. He seemed angry, seeing the situation. Two person surrounded by ten dead bodies. It was apparent who was the killer.

He instantly pulled out his weapon and aimed it at Nuwa, surrounding them with his men.

"In the name of Fire Land Capital, you are under arrest! You have the right to remain silent! Anything you say can be used against you during your trial! Surrender now!"
