Chapter 113: Final

In his spare time, Uesugi Kiyoshi sometimes has divergent thoughts.

From a human perspective, Hellstar is without a doubt the embodiment of fear, the ultimate disaster, but in the eyes of the universe, Earth might be the virus, and Hellstar could be the devouring cell of justice.

That’s why it values the Earth so much.

Devouring the Earth, like eating bacteria, is just a normal body immune response.

Of course, this simplest association has no meaning.

Even if it’s a bacteria, it won’t just sit and wait to die! Even a bacteria might be able to destroy devouring cells!

…………

On the seventh day of the battle, a bright light suddenly appeared in the sky, it was the destruction of Hellstar.

The fully formed Ode, combining the power of all demons, finally lived up to expectations and successfully defended the Earth.

The Order Demon at this moment, already full of wounds and exhaustion, immediately turned and flew towards the Earth without any rest.

His eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, and deep-seated hatred boiled in his heart.

When Ode saw his people turning into dust beside him, a name surged in his heart.

Uesugi Kiyoshi!

It was him, definitely him!

Although not sure what methods were used, there was no doubt, he was causing mischief!

Ode had no doubt about this in his heart.

In the midst of battle, he had already vowed that even if he broke his own rules, even if it led to his destruction, he would drag the person who destroyed his people into the depths of hell, where they would suffer in torment day and night.

Before entering the atmosphere, Ode discovered Uesugi Kiyoshi’s whereabouts. Uesugi Kiyoshi wasn’t hiding in another dimension as he had imagined, but instead was casually standing in the research institute square, sipping coffee unashamedly.

"Uesugi Kiyoshi!!"

With a roar, Ode landed on the ground, surrounded by crackling lightning, encircled by flames. Step by step, he walked towards the man who held the grudge of his people’s destruction.

As he took each step, his expression softened a bit. When they were less than two meters apart, he was all smiles, filled with the joy of reuniting after a long time.

"Ah, my lord, long time no see!"

"Ode!" Uesugi Kiyoshi opened his arms and gave the victorious hero a big hug as he arrived triumphantly. "Congratulations, you are the savior of the world, the pride of hell!"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I just made a small contribution, nothing significant."

"You’re too kind!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi gestured back and a sweet hostess approached, holding a flower crown and placing it on Ode’s head.

"This… this is too grand, how can I live up to this!"

"Don’t refuse, this is the honor you deserve!"

He sat Ode down and they chatted, until Ode couldn’t help but ask, "My lord, what just happened earlier? How come when I was walking, I just…?"

"You suddenly ran out of energy? That’s because of the Headless Sculpture!" explained Uesugi Kiyoshi.

The Headless Sculpture is a strange creation made by Ode, using his soul energy.

Ode became anxious, his face turning red, "How could you disobey the treaty like this?!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi asked in surprise, "Treaty? What treaty?"

"I mean the one about not spreading… never mind. I only went out for less than three hours and yet you managed to create so many sculptures. How did you do it?"

Ode couldn’t understand, as only Teacher Wangbu could create Headless Sculptures. How could he produce so many by himself?

Uesugi Kiyoshi snapped his fingers, and the screen hanging on the palace wall lit up, showing the image of the Headless Sculpture artist, Teacher Wangbu.

He was sitting on a speeding train, hands lightly resting on the handles of two blades in front of him. The blade with a support frame extended outside the window, with no end in sight.

The image switched to outside the train, where there were endless rows of sculptures on both sides of the tracks. Heads of the sculptures fell to the ground as the blade passed by, creating a long sighing sound, the awakening sound of the Headless Sculptures.

"This sculpture is made of gel, very easy to make, and has a metal shell outside the gel, so they can’t move after coming to life."

Ode looked surprised with her mouth wide open, while Uesugi Kiyoshi took out pen and paper to do calculations.

"The train moves at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, the Headless Sculpture area is 600 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide, and the density is 2 per square meter. By calculating this way, the number of sculptures made in three hours is 12 billion, each with a soul energy of 0.9 human portions, totaling 108 billion, which is more than your current stock by over ten billion."

"I see!" Ode suddenly realized, then came back to her senses, perspiring heavily, "If we had cut a bit more… Phew! That was close, so close!"

"It’s not that dangerous," Uesugi Kiyoshi consoled, "I set up a fixed-term deposit for you, depositing one human portion of soul energy, to be collected in two billion years. So even if there was an accidental decapitation, it wouldn’t be a problem. Please rest assured!"

The two looked at each other, silent for a long time. The smile on Ode’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by resentment, helplessness, and sadness.

"All the other tribe members have been harmed by you. Why do you still want to keep me?"

"Because you are more sensible. If we consider those Headless Sculptures as battery packs, then you are the converter. Without you, all the other oddities with the Headless Sculptures would disappear. How could I bear that?!"

"But I can choose death, you can’t stop me!"

"Maybe, but are you willing? As long as you’re alive, there’s hope. One day, you’ll break free, destroy this world, avenge your people, and if you die, there will be nothing left!"

Tears fell, Ode’s voice choked, "It seems like I have no choice but to accept?"

"It must be this way!" Uesugi Kiyoshi’s smile faded, he pressed a button, a transparent container rose from the ground, prepared as a residence for Ode, "So, please come in!"

Everything has ended.

Amid cheers from leaders of various countries, Ode entered the container, sinking into the ground. He thought he still had a chance, but in reality, he didn’t.

Enduring hardships doesn’t necessarily mean a sweet reward in the end.

After concluding the meeting, Uesugi Kiyoshi returned to his original place, the villa, watching as the girls returned from another dimension one by one, giving each of them a hug, including Hoshimi Rie.

She, usually calm and decisive, couldn’t help but blush, her body softening as she struggled to push Uesugi Kiyoshi away, "Where are we going now?"

"Let’s go home, don’t worry, the bed at home is big enough!"

Even in the toughest times, Uesugi Kiyoshi never forgets his original intention.

Is a luxurious and decadent lifestyle not the goal that a capitalist should pursue?
