The Explosion

Yun Che forced his way into the governor's building and began to search for the one known as Gandhi. He kept Lingxi and Xiao Lie close, slaughtering any of the cult members who drew too close. Eventually, he broke into a library… to find Gandhi calmly reading through a new profound art.

"... Is barging into rooms something you people do often? It is common courtesy to knock and wait for approval." Gandhi remarked, putting down the manual. His eyes widened slightly as he recognised the youth. "Ah… it's you."

"Are you the so-called Lord Gandhi?" Yun Che raised an eyebrow. There's no way a man so frail could have taken the New Moon City by storm. Or so, he thought.

"We met before, child. As I recall… it was a massacre."

"What have you done to this city?" Yun Che questioned, unleashing a wave of killing intent onto Gandhi. Taking note of Gandhi's comment, he remembered killing the man. So why was he here?

Gandhi was unfazed.

"I brought peace." Gandhi answered simply, standing up from his seat. "Peace and prosperity for all its people."

"Mindless puppets are what you turned the people into…"

"I enlightened them." Gandhi countered, shaking his head. "Now they will never have a reason to fight each other. They are all under one banner… the banner of peace. With all their hearts, souls and bodies put together, creating a better world is inevitable. I doubt that a man like you, who indulges in mindless violence, will understand the concept of true peace at this very moment."

"What of the Floating Cloud City?" Xiao Lie questioned. "Do you know what happened to it?"

"I brought peace to that city." Gandhi replied without hesitation. There was not a single shred of regret in his eyes. "I lacked the power to achieve my goals without violence at that point in time… but, because of their sacrifice, I was able to spare the people of the New Moon City. Now, its people have departed to a better place. The afterlife; a world free from worries for those who were holy."

"You were the one who killed all those people?" Yun Che's eyes widened, turning red due to his Evil God veins. They exuded a terrifying killing intent which would have frightened many. Again, Gandhi remained unfazed.

"Yes. Was the city important to you?"

BANG.

In a split second, Yun Che blasted Gandhi into the wall… crashing through it. Gandhi's glasses had cracked under the sheer force. Without giving him time to breathe, Yun Che grabbed him by the neck and raised him up, looking straight into his eyes.

"Free the people of the New Moon City before I have the chance of ending your pathetic life."

"... Free them?" Gandhi questioned, struggling for air. "They are… already free."

BANG.

He smashed his bald head into the ground so hard fragments of the floor stuck into it.

"Free them!"

Yun Che roared but Gandhi was not intimidated in the slightest. To him, this pain was a minor hurdle in the path of attaining peace. Seeing Gandhi so composed, Yun Che's fury only grew. The old man was certainly one of the strangest anomalies he had ever met. Even in the face of death and pain, he did not fear.

"Free them… you damn bastard!"

BANG.

He punched his face into the ground… again and again and again… only stopping once he noticed that Gandhi was on the edge of life and death.

"Yun Che… what are you doing?" An elder ran into the library, taking the side of Gandhi. He was followed by several others, all pillars of the New Moon City. The one who had spoken out was Qin Wuyou, the Palace Chief of the New Moon Profound Palace.

"Palace Chief… you as well?" Yun Che raised himself from Gandhi's body, frowning deeply. "Don't tell me you've been brainwashed by him as well…"

"Brainwashed?" Qin Wuyou definitely shook his head. "Gandhi is the one true prophet who will deliver peace to the entire world."

"Damn you…" Yun Che spat onto Gandhi's face.

"Peace… is inevitable."

Gandhi laughed, tilting his head slightly as he opened the Gate of Peace and channeled all his profound energy and peaceful energy into it… creating a massive bomb. Yun Che acted quickly, grabbing hold of Lingxi and Xiao Lie.

BOOOOOM.

The entire New Moon City was no more.

…

In the end, no one but Yun Che and his company remained. Yun Che made sure to look for Gandhi's remains, confirming his death.

"Perhaps this individual just so happened to look identical to the one you had slain earlier… after all, the difference in profound strength is simply too great." Jasmine remarked, frowning slightly. "It's unfortunate what happened to those two cities but you shouldn't put too much thought into it. No one of importance had died."

"No one of importance… maybe to you."

Yun Che sighed, shaking his head.

Despite winning the day and completing his promise, Yun Che still felt as if he had lost.

Little did he know… Gandhi was inevitable. So was the peace that he would bring.

Gandhi returned to the peaceful field of green, his respawn point, with even greater determination than before. This Yun Che fellow… he had defiantly stood against him not once but twice. Although killing him was certainly an option, Gandhi considered conversion. If he could turn the young man to his side, the side of peace, wouldn't it only strengthen the concept of peace? If someone so savage could turn to such a life… it would serve as an example for everyone else.

That… and his power could prove beyond helpful in achieving peace.

Gandhi had already made up his mind, marching on to new towns and cities to once again spread the belief of true peace.

If anything, he was the most driven and stubborn motherfucker alive.
