Infinite wealth In A New World-Chapter 411: Commandments
[The Fortress — The Throne Room]
BAM!!
"My Lord!! We are under attack!!"
The reinforced doors burst open, splintering under the force. Five men rushed inside, breathing heavily, their weapons drawn but useless against the fear gripping them.
They froze on track, staring not at their masters, but at the young boy with black hair and a bored expression sitting casually on the throne. They subconsciously turned their heads to the side, seeing their Boss—Zama—on his knees, sweat running down his face in torrents.
"I actually thought I can finally show my strength, only to discover your Boss is a clone." Destiny said, his tone dark and cold, sending a shiver through the room that had nothing to do with the temperature.
"Clone?"
The five bandits were confused. They knew their Master was in here with the ten figures who called themselves the Commandments. But now, they rush in only to discover their leader is nothing but a energy construct.
"Now everything makes sense." Destiny turned his head to the villagers, who were busy releasing themselves from the ropes binding them.
"The energy signatures we felt, they were the leaders here." He looked at the five men before them, all in battered leather armor.
"They might have detected us and escaped, scared of facing Eldoria. Or their mission isn’t here."
He stood up slowly, the movement fluid and menacing. He opened his palm, stretching his hand towards the five.
"I will give one of you an opportunity to live. The first who tells me everything will leave here alive."
Hearing his words, and seeing their Leader left them behind to die, the five people exchanged glances. But instead of fear, a fanatical light entered their eyes. They turned to Destiny with sneers.
"You are free to kill us! We won’t say a word!"
"Huh?" This surprised Destiny. Even the freed villagers paused in their escape.
"Your Leader left you for death. Why are you still loyal?" Destiny asked in genuine confusion. Loyalty usually had limits, especially amongst bandits.
The first man, a muscular brute with long black hair, stepped forward and placed his hand on his chest in a salute.
"We swore a vow to the Commandments! Even in our death, we will never betray them!" He yelled.
"Commandment?" This information got Destiny curious. The name carried weight.
BOOOOM!!
"AHHHHH!!"
"HELP ME!!"
"NO!!!"
BOOOOM
The five bandits gasped, hearing the screams and explosions coming from outside. The fortress shook. They felt a shiver down their spines hearing the cries of their own men being obliterated by Treasure’s "fireworks."
"Your time is running out." Destiny muttered.
’Commandments... Who are these guys?’ He thought, observing the five fanatics.
’The Black Eye Bandits aren’t originally from this realm. Did the Commandments bring them here? But why cause trouble?’ He held his jaw, lost in thought, his mind working faster than a supercomputer.
’It’s not possible... Dad doesn’t know about these guys, meaning they’re using some kind of concealing skill or artifact to hide their scents, even from a Realm Ruler. So causing trouble isn’t the main reason.’
His golden eyes narrowed.
’Right! The Black Eye Bandits are brought here for distractions. They will attack a spot, make some noise, while these Commandments will be focused on something else, which I guess is their main target.’
He chuckled lightly, a sound devoid of humor, drawing the five’s attention.
"Smart... Now I know why you Black Eye Bandits can’t reach the Supreme World. Because the moment you step there, my Dad will discover you and end it... So you attacked the lower worlds continuously." He started walking towards them, his footsteps echoing on the stone floor.
"My Dad won’t personally interfere if Bandits were the ones attacking, because he knows his Subordinates placed in those worlds can handle these issues. Which is why they sent you fools." He stretched forth his hand towards them, wisps of dark energy curling around his fingers.
"If the Commandments personally acted and caused commotion, my father will be here in seconds to end it. So they find the best opportunity and create distance... Truly impressive."
His golden eyes instantly turned pitch black, the iris vanishing into the void.
"Thanks for the information. Now I just need to search your memories, and look for any timeline you have heard or mentioned the name: Commandments."
Instantly, an invisible force smashed into the five like a hammer. They dropped to their knees, clutching their heads as if trying to keep their skulls from splitting open.
"Ahhh!! It hurts!!!"
"Please!!! It hurts!!"
"Help! Someone help me!!"
The five screamed in utter agony. Their faces paled, veins bulging, sweat running down from their faces and bodies in rivulets.
"The pain you are feeling right now is the same pain someone would feel when a bee stings! But yours is different... the bees aren’t stinging your body, but your brain."
"AHHHHHH!!"
Three screamed one last time and collapsed, convulsing on the ground for some seconds before dying instantly, their minds turned to mush.
"Ah! I love the pain, keep feeling it!" He increased his Primordial energy. The remaining two men screamed at the top of their lungs.
SPLAT. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
One head shattered into blood, staining the muscular man red.
"So bad, he is too weak." Destiny, who stood some distance away, said, staring at the headless body with a flat expression. He turned his head to the last man.
"You?! You are a monster!" The man spat out, trembling uncontrollably.
"A monster? Have you seen my siblings lose it before? Compared to Lucian, my sister and I are still kids in this aspect." He said, not minding that they were literally only ten years old.
"Ok! Ok, I will tell you everything!!!" The man finally yelled, his resolve crumbling under the psychic torture.
"Too late."
Destiny clenched his fist.
SPLAT.
Instantly, the man shattered into a mist of blood. Destiny slowly lowered his hand and turned to the clone of Zama still kneeling on the throne.
"I know you’re watching this." His eyes narrowed, staring through the clone to the user on the other side.
"Just make sure to keep running, or else, we will catch up with you."
With that said, the clone shattered into smoke, the connection severed.
"The Prince is great!" A little girl’s voice piped up.
"Huh?" Destiny blinked, the darkness fading from his eyes. He turned to see a small child among the villagers, smiling at him. "Aren’t you scared about the blood and mess?" He asked in surprise.
"A lot of attacks happen in the upper World, I am used to it."
’A kid, not less than ten, used to this?!’ He looked at his hand, a frown on his face.
’I understand mine and my siblings’ situation, we were born for war. But them?’ He looked over his shoulder at the kid, his heart growing heavy.
"They should be living their lives without any worries in the world." He exhaled, and clenched his fist.
"First, those evil gods who want to resurrect their master, and anytime from now, they will succeed. And now, these Ten Commandments. How many enemies are hiding in the universe?" He muttered to himself.
"I see you’re done here."
Destiny looked up, seeing Treasure walking towards him through the ruined doorway. Not a single drop of dirt or blood could be seen on her.
"As the holder of the Law of Creation, you destroy like Lucian." Destiny said dryly.
"Huh?" Treasure was confused.
He turned to the villagers, ignoring her. "Come on, time to leave this place. Lucian will take care of the rest." He said to the villagers, his voice gentle now.
"Yes!! Finally, we are done!" Treasure yelled with a smile.

[Outside the Burning Fortress]
Lucian sat on a high tree branch, legs dangling, staring at the burning fortress before him. The flames painted his white clothes in dancing orange light. He raised his head to the night sky, staring at an eagle flying away into the dark clouds.
"What a drag." He groaned lazily. He didn’t turn around.
"How long have you been following us?"
Light particles moved from all directions, condensing and merging together, forming Natasha.
"From the start." She answered, her gaze fixed on the fortress. She stood on a tree branch some distance behind Lucian, her arms crossed.
"Seems I am not the only one watching you." She added, staring at the eagle, which flew away with incredible speed, far faster than a normal bird.
"Well... We can’t do anything about that. Besides, I would rather see the loving side than the opposite."
Natasha stared at his back, then at the fortress below, and nodded her head.
"I understand." She said, watching Treasure, Destiny, and the villagers walking out of the smoke.
"Lady Natasha, can you help me finish this?" Lucian asked, looking over his shoulder at Natasha with a sheepish grin.
"You are always lazy... You also don’t train more." Natasha sighed, shaking her head.
"I wonder how your body is built... You should have gotten Prince Destiny’s body." She said, eyeing his muscular physique which was wasted on his lethargic personality.
"Yeah I know, it’s a drag." Lucian stood up, stretching his massive frame. "I am the laziest between the three of us, but I am the strongest." He chuckled lightly.
"Help me with it."
With that, he leaped down from the tree to join his siblings.
"This boy! Can you at least take something seriously for once?!" Natasha exhaled helplessly.
She opened her palm. A ball of pure, concentrated light appeared, humming with destructive power. She flicked her wrist, and the orb shot towards the burning fortress.
The moment it touched the flames, the reaction was instantaneous.
BOOOOM!!!
It exploded like a tactical nuke, vaporizing the wood, stone, and secrets of the fortress in a blinding flash of white light. By the time the dust settled, nothing remained but a crater.
