Chapter 1576: Return

While Sam is proceeding with the process, a few hundred meters away from the city.

There is a large crater that is almost the size of a large mansion.

In the middle of it Sin stood with his injured body. His arm is broken and he could feel blood seeping out of many of his injuries.

He is in complete pain all over. In front of him stood Gail who looked at Sin with a depressed expression.

Both of them are in bad mood.

Sin wanted to walk, talk or do anything, but he couldn't find any energy within his body.

For the past few minutes, he just stood there like this and that is all he could do.

But he really wanted to speak up. As for taking the medicine, he is so drained that he couldn't even take his own medicine out of the spatial ring. After trying to speak a few times, he dropped to the ground.

Gail lunged toward him and caught him before he hit the ground completely. He took out some medicine and fed him.

It stopped the excessive bleeding and eased some of Sin's pain which made it a bit bearable for him.

"It seems like the Mari clan lost completely." That is the first thing he said as soon as he found the voice in his throat.

"Yes, unfortunately for you."

"So, that means, is Sam already here? To take back his body."

"Yes."

"To take my son's life back?"

"Yes."

Gail said in a calm tone. He looked at Sin's conflicting expression. He cannot find words to ease Sin's pain. Because he was never put in such a situation before. It would be a complete lie if he ever said that he can understand the pain and torment that Sin is going through at the moment.

So, he kept his mouth shut and just patted his back.

"What happened to the soldiers, elders, grand elders? The ones that came to attack your clan."

"Dead."

"What? Dead? All of them? There are thousands of soldiers. You didn't even take any prisoners? How can all of them be dead?"

"Not just them, everyone is dead. The Divine league members, your grand elders, elders. Except for Sivan no one that came to the expedition survived.

Everyone died on the battlefield."

"How could that even happen? Did you make a move on soldiers?"

Sin asked almost in an angry and disappointed tone.

"What the hell are you saying? Why would I make a move on soldiers? It was all Sam's doing. In fact, your son is not any less either. He was about to kill us all as well. The only reason we survived is that Sam already expected something like this and made preparations.

Currently, the whole Gaja city disappeared from the terrain."

"The whole city?"

"Yes, the structure, buildings, the clan estate, everything turned to dust, and your son caused it. Luckily most of us are safe and survived.

We didn't want to use those last attacks though. It was truly a last resort since your son decided to use it. We don't really have much choice left."

"Why are you explaining yourself? Since the clan started a war, we should have already expected this result.

But to lose all of the soldiers at the same time. That is something.

I thought we are at the peak of the power in the current realms, but it seems like I am mistaken. A kid is climbing up the ranks with his brain. Today I almost died. Can you imagine that? The people that could have killed me are three brats that are younger than my son.

Even the age of all three of them combined, wouldn't even be one-third of my age and all it took was them to give one command.

What has this world become?"

Sin sighed as he laid down on the earth.

"About your son…"

"Leave it, Gail. I am trying not to think about it.

I tried my best to be a good father to him. Even though I was not allowed to be a part of his life growing up, when I got the chance, I really tried my best to be a better father and tried to set him on the right path.

But he was already rotten by then. He is way beyond repair. I exhausted every means I can think of. Care, love, anger, punishment, no matter what I used he didn't change.

He committed one evil act after another and I had to clean up his mess as I couldn't help but blame it on myself for not being a better father.

I can't do that anymore.

Let him face the consequences of his actions.

When more than ninety percent of the clan is dead because of him, there is no need for him to stay alive.

I cannot clean up after him this time. I will not do that.

But, I do have one favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"The clan members. Mortals, non-cultivators. What about them? Can you spare them for me?"

Gail stayed silent for a moment and said.

"Generally, I would have said it is the decision of the Clan's leader. Since it is the clan war. But I think Sam will also have a say in it. I will recommend sparing them to both of them. Apart from that, there is really not much that I could do."

"That is enough. I am sure they will heed your words."

"Let's hope so."

"Let's go back."

Gail supported Sin as both of them walked to the Mari clan grounds.

Back in the clan grounds.

Sam is finishing the procedures as the Spectres supported it.

The trio stood guard and commanded the subordinates to loot the things from the Mari clan. Since Sam decided to spare the mortal plane cultivators and weaklings, they left them alone.

But he didn't say anything about the resources, knowledge, treasures, and the rest of the loot from deadbodies.

They decided to round it all up along with the information on the secret assets of the elders and grand elders left behind so that they could loot them all later as well.

Since their goal of finding Sam and taking revenge on the Mari clan is finished, they are now on the way to making as much profit as possible.

Even though the business functions went well within the past year or so, they still spent a lot of effort on all of these machines and equipment.

They need to make the most out of it. Of course, they already made many times from all of the loot they gained from the Mari clan until now. The allies that interfered in the middle also gave a lot, but it never hurts to have more.

As they are doing this, they also kept an eye on Sam.

Meanwhile, Sam is currently floating in a soul space.

There he could see his soul floating around in the vast void and Sivan's soul right in front of him. He could feel his soul splitting into two.

And the main one left Sivan's crippled body towards Sam's original body. And within the space, it is the area where Sivan's soul is huddled into a ball is currently at.

The procedure split his soul into two and Sam's soul dragged one of those towards him.

But while this exchange is in process, all of a sudden, three ghost chimeras that are roaming around the formations entered Sam's consciousness upon his command.

The ghost chimeras are forcefully merged into the soul replica that Sam left behind in Sivan's crippled body.

The exchange of souls is completed.

Sam finally felt like he reached home. His soul and body are the perfect matches.

The procedure is finished.

Sam opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

He felt a slight headache and there is obviously some discomfort within his body, but he can feel it.

He is back in his body.

The first thing he did ism jump up to his feet and do a somersault on the spot.

"I am finally back."

He said with a sigh of relief. But also quickly made his soul start observing Sivan's dormant soul within his consciousness. He didn't want to waste any time on that.

There are too many questions that he needs answers to and this dormant soul holds a lot of those answers.

Sivan also opened his eyes. But he is obviously not excited like Sam. He touched the stumps on his arm and leg and sighed. His eyes started tearing up as he choked on his sobs.

He felt so useless and hopeless at the moment. That he didn't even want to do anything. Not even stand up. Not even put the effort to sit up.

His body collapsed to the ground as he wept continuously.

Sam walked towards him slowly and took out the executioner's sword.

"Feels right."

He swung the sword the other arm of Sivan was cut. The arm with the divine dimension fragment. He took that and threw it to Watt who is standing beside him.

"Time to say goodbye, Sivan.

You failed in your attempt to get what's mine. But I will give you props. You are a worthy enemy. I will remember you forever."
