The cannon fodder's revenge (BL)
Chapter 153 - 13.9 Trials and tribulations
Kyrios took a seat at the head of the table and pulled A-Xuan onto his lap, filling their plates and feeding him.
Weilong felt disgusted and couldn’t believe the Supreme had fallen for A-Xuan of all people. How could he not see that he was just using him?
A-Xuan looked at Weilong and ordered him to leave.
Weilong narrowed his eyes but left when Kyrios looked at him. A-Xuan grabbed his cell phone when it vibrated and sneered.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Kyrios asked, "What is it?"
A-Xuan put his cell phone down and said, "Look into my mind."
Kyrios did and got up to speed. A-Xuan said, "Zheng saw that the bottle of wine was still in my room, so he asked if I wanted someone to deliver it. I, of course, said yes."
Kyrios nodded and asked, "How do you want to deal with Fyo?"
"I think he should go through what I did as cannon fodder, except that it will be for eternity."
Kyrios smiled. "I like that."
After discussing and eating breakfast, Kyrios, and A-Xuan spent the day in the creation room.
Kyrios taught A-Xuan how to create worlds and how to parameterize them as he wished. After spending the day working on it, A-Xuan understood why Kyrios loved creating worlds so much.
The thought of doing it by Kyrios’s side for eternity made him extremely happy. A-Xuan dressed for dinner as Kyrios told him to and walked down the stairs.
He didn’t understand why Kyrios wanted him to dress so well when this dinner was to destroy Fyo once and for all.
The guards opened the dining room, and A-Xuan entered. An hour before dinner, his Gege disappeared and said he had to deal with something. A-Xuan decided to take a nap and get ready.
Kyrios told him to meet him in the dining room at 7 pm. A-Xuan looked at the decorated dining room, stunned.
It looked breathtaking, with candles and rose petals everywhere. A-Xuan felt his heartbeat quicken when he saw Kyrios on his knee.
He eagerly walked towards Kyrios, his eyes shining with excitement. As A-Xuan stopped before him, Kyrios said, "A-Xuan, I know that our story was filled with trials and tribulations. I hate that my love caused you so much pain, but I swear now that we’re both here, I’ll make sure to spend every day of my life making you happy. The second I laid eyes on you, I knew you were my soulmate."
Kyrios opened a box and asked, "A-Xuan, will you marry me and make me the happiest god?"
A-Xuan felt a lump in his throat, but nodded and answered, "Of course, I’ll marry you."
Kyrios let out a breath and slid the ring onto A-Xuan’s finger. He stood up and kissed A-Xuan passionately.
He and Kyrios had married so many times that he already considered him his husband, but A-Xuan was happy he proposed this time too because this was their happily ever after. He wants everyone to know they belonged to each other.
Kyrios took a seat on the throne and pulled A-Xuan onto his lap. A-Xuan looked at the emerald ring with a grin.
Kyrios’ eyes softened. "Do you like it?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"I do. It’s beautiful," A-Xuan replied.
Kyrios said, "The ring has been in my family for generations. It was my mother’s engagement ring."
A-Xuan circled his neck. "Were you close?"
"I was very close to my parents. When they decided to fade, I felt as though I lost the ability to feel. I don’t think I would feel again if I hadn’t met you. I don’t know what I would do without you," Kyrios admitted.
A-Xuan caressed his cheek. "You’ll never have to figure it out because I’ll never leave your side."
Kyrios pulled him closer and kissed him.
A-Xuan and Kyrios reluctantly broke the kiss when the doors opened. A-Xuan felt annoyed seeing Fyo.
Fyo was holding a box and stopped next to Kyrios with a smile. "Happy birthday, brother. I got you a gift," he said.
Kyrios looked at Weilong, who had come in with Fyo. Weilong grabbed the box, putting it aside. Fyo looked at A-Xuan and then at Kyrios. "It seems like I’m interrupting," he said.
"We were celebrating our engagement," A-Xuan said.
Fyo was furious when A-Xuan showed him the ring. He couldn’t believe that Kyrios had kept their mother’s engagement ring for all those years and had given it to a mortal.
Fyo calmed down, realizing that the two were about to die soon. He then noticed the bottle of wine on the table.
"Congratulations. I’m happy my brother finally found the right person for him," Fyo forced a smile.
"Do you want to join us for dinner?" A-Xuan asked.
"I would love to," Fyo replied, knowing that Kyrios didn’t want him there.
"I want to get to know my future brother-in-law better. Don’t you want that?" A-Xuan asked Kyrios.
Kyrios gave him a peck and reluctantly agreed. "Fine. Do you want to invite your father too?" he asked A-Xuan.
"Sure," A-Xuan said.
Kyrios snapped his fingers, and Zheng appeared, immediately kneeling before him.
"Supreme," Zheng said.
"Rise," Kyrios commanded.
Zheng stood up and saw that Fyo had taken a seat on Kyrios’ right. Kyrios then ordered Zheng to sit down.
Zheng complied and relaxed when he noticed Fyo’s expression. A-Xuan smiled and said, "We invited you to celebrate Gege’s and my engagement."
When A-Xuan showed him the ring, Zheng was stunned. He couldn’t believe that his useless son had managed to seduce Kyrios. Nevertheless, he smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Kyrios turned to Weilong and said, "Tell the chef that there are two more guests." Weilong nodded and left. Kyrios then signaled to a server, who approached with a wine bottle.
The server was about to pour wine when A-Xuan interjected, "Bring another one for the guests. I got this bottle just for Gege and me."
Kyrios looked at A-Xuan, surprised, and asked, "You did?" A-Xuan nodded and said, "To thank you for taking me as your apprentice and as a birthday gift."
Kyrios smiled and tenderly kissed A-Xuan. As the server poured them a glass of wine, someone else went to fetch another bottle.
Soon, a woman came back with a bottle and poured a glass for Zheng and Fyo, who were both extremely pleased.
Fyo proposed a toast to A-Xuan and Gege’s engagement, and they all held their glasses and clinked them together. Fyo and Zheng made sure that A-Xuan and Kyrios finished their glasses.
After they dropped their empty glasses, Fyo felt happier than ever before. In five minutes, he would become the ruler of the throne.
Suddenly, A-Xuan waved his hand, and the doors were locked. He stopped concealing his power as a god, and everyone looked at him stunned, including Weilong, who was furious.
Fyo smiled and said, "It seems like brother has already turned his fiancé into a god." Kyrios replied, "Yes, I have. I wanted us to be the same, so I shared my power with him."
Fyo felt speechless and asked, "You shared your power?" Kyrios answered, "Yes, now he is just as powerful as me."
Upon hearing that, Fyo and Zheng were glad that A-Xuan had also drunk the wine. A-Xuan said with a smile, "If I wanted to destroy you, I could do it easily."
Fyo forced himself not to choke that brat and replied, "Why would you want to destroy your future brother-in-law?"
Fyo could tell that A-Xuan became proud and unruly now that he had become a god, and he couldn’t wait to make him suffer too.
A-Xuan answered, "Because you want to split my Gege’s soul and toss them into the worlds he created, so he can suffer."
Fyo’s heartbeat quickened, but he kept his composure and chuckled, "Why would you think that? Kyrios is my brother; I only wish..."
Before he could finish, A-Xuan made a fist with his hand, and Fyo’s mouth was forcefully shut. "I’m sick of hearing your bullshit," A-Xuan said, waving his hand and causing a holographic screen to appear.
The conversation between Zheng and Fyo was displayed, as they discussed their plan. When it was over, A-Xuan asked, "You were saying?"
Fyo and Zheng swallowed nervously. Fyo looked at his empty glass and then at Kyrios. "What did you give me?" he asked.
Kyrios smiled and replied, "The same thing you were planning on giving me and my baby."
Zheng, who had drunk too much, immediately tried to hold A-Xuan’s hand, saying, "Son, I had no choice. I knew that Fyo would kill me if I refused."
A-Xuan pulled his hand back in disdain, saying, "I don’t care. I don’t love you, and I never have. So the fact that you tried to sacrifice me to gain power has no impact on me."
Zheng swallowed with difficulty and tried to say more, but A-Xuan shut his mouth, sick of hearing his voice.
Fyo looked at Kyrios, knowing that he was finished. He asked, "What are you going to do with me?"
Kyrios smiled and waved his hand, causing Fyo to fall asleep. Zheng felt his heartbeat quicken and begged, "Please..." before he could finish, A-Xuan reached out and pulled out his heart.
A-Xuan stood up and walked to Weilong. Weilong swore, "I had no idea what they had planned, I swear," but A-Xuan smiled gently and pulled out his heart, saying, "Perhaps, but you’ve been spying on Gege for Fyo. So you should die."
Before Weilong could beg, his heart turned into dust. A-Xuan wiped his hand with disdain and took a seat on his Gege.
Kyrios waved his hand, causing Fyo’s body to levitate. A white light emanated from it until Fyo’s body vanished, and thousands of lights replaced it.
A-Xuan asked, "Are those all of his soul pieces?" to which Kyrios replied, "It is. I’ll make sure they all end up as cannon fodder."
Kyrios closed his eyes, and all the white lights disappeared. He opened his eyes and looked at A-Xuan, saying, "We will never see him again."
A-Xuan couldn’t help but feel emotional; they had finally dealt with all the people who had made them suffer. Kyrios pulled him into his embrace and said, "I’m sorry it took so long."
A-Xuan held onto him tight, saying, "It’s okay, let’s not speak of this anymore. All that matters is that we’re both here and okay."
Kyrios pulled back and kissed him. Kyrios said, "I love you, baby." A-Xuan responded, "I love you more, Gege."
Fin.
