15. Grand Coliseum.

The entire world shifted. A magnificent beautiful coliseum was created, millions of people confused in the stands, however hundreds of people were locked away down below in various cages.

The floor was entirely covered in bloody dirt.

Up in a golden box was myself, Ning'er, Nie Li, Ye Mu, Ye Zong, And Ye Ziyun. Everyone was dressed in old school Toga and I had a golden crown on my head.

My voice booms out over the confused crowd. "Welcome to the grand Coliseum. This is a trial ground for those I dub my enemies." i wave my hand towards all the prisoners who are quietly glaring up at me. Most of them seem to be strangers or sacred family members.

"Your soul has been judged and you have been placed into my world. There are two options for those in my world. The audience!" I wave my hand towards the people in the stands. "And the enemies!" The people in the cages.

"For the enemies you will fight for your lives against my chosen gladiator." I point towards a large rusty looking gate and out walks a man in a leather skirt, leather brassard, and metal gladiator helmet. Pulling off the helmet ita revealed to be.....myself.

Everyone looks confused.

"This is my world, I am the emperor and i can also be the fighter. I am Judge, Jury, And Executioner. For my enemies you have a few simple options, option number one is you fight to the death with my gladiator, you will either die or be imprisoned here to fight my enemies for my amusement for all time. Or you may surrender and be judged by myself, you'll either be killed, enslaved to fight for my amusement, or my slave. However if you beat my gladiator you get a chance to walk free." I smile at the group in the cages. "All cultivation is suppressed in this world, so it depends solely on skill. For those of you who do not wish to see a fight to the death raise your hand, you will be returned to your homes. However time here is at a complete stand still so you need not worry about your children or if you were cooking." I explain.

A couple leave but the majority stays.

"Good, now I'll bring up charges against those currently in the cages." i pull out a list. "Murder of glory city citizens, colluding with the Dark Guild, Rape, Fraud, Theft, the poisoning of the city Lords wife, Looking fucking ugly, pissing me off. All crimes punishable by death." I smile and fold up the paper. "Bring out the first fighter!"

A cage moves and out drops a teen about 16 years old. The soon to be ex fiance of Ning'er.

"Shen Fei, Murderer, Rapist, Heir to the sacred family. Choose your path, surrender or fight." I call out.

"Fight!" He shouts looking at me with a sneer.

"Perfect, your weapons are, your hands." I yell out as he is bare chested and in shorts with nothing else.

My gladiator is wearing simple leather sandals, the leather skirt and nothing else at this point.

My mind shifts to my gladiator body.

I quickly rush forward and dodge a sloppy punch from the playboy rapist. My fist lands dead center of his face there is a nasty crunch as his nose breaks sending him flying into the dust and dirt.

He sputters and quickly tries to pick himself up off the ground only to get a sandal clad foot to the rib cage. There is a resounding crack as some of the rubs shatter.

"AHHHHHHH!" He screams face covered in blood and tears. "Stop please! Do you know who I am? I can pay...." *Crack!" a foot stomps down on his hand breaking his fingers.

He let's out another scream of pain.

Some of the crowd members roar in satisfaction! Other flinch, and look away as the teen is beat into the sandy dirt.

After 2 minutes of a sound beating the teen is barely conscious without the ability to move. A dusty had grabs him by the hair and pulls him to his knees into a kneeling position.

I look up to my emperor body which gives a large thumbs down.

Grabbing the chin and the back of the head I give a sharp yank up and around snapping his neck.

The light leaves his eyes and he flops down into the dirt.

"Your punishments will be eternal torment in my Coliseum as a fighter." I call out on my throne.

A gray soul is sucked out of the body before a black chain snaps around its neck pulling the screaming soul downwards.

"On to the next prisoner." A man in a dark looking cloak is dragged up.

"Gu Yan, a member of the dark guild. Rape, Murder, Kidnapping. Fight or surrender?" I ask.

"Surrender!" He shouts quickly hoping for more leniency.

"Great, your punishment is eternal torment fighting for my pleasure in the fight pits." I smile as a black chain rips into his body ripping his soul out and killing him instantly.

"Just because you surrender does not mean you escape the punishment, it just means I may be lenient and allow you to be my slave." I smile at the prisoners who shudder. "Next prisoner!"

Another man in a black cloak a bit more burly then the last appears from the cage.

"You arent going to let us go are you?" He asks looking at me.

"No, I have no need for murderers, and rapists. The only one who might get away with being my slave is Shen Xiu simply because I need a maid." I grin at the man.

He nods. "Fight then."

"Perfect, your weapon is a sword." I shout and a gladius style sword appears in both contestants hands.

The man rushes forward with a roar and swings the blade with all his might.

Only to get side stepped and have his head removed from his shoulders.

A couple people in the crowd get sick as the blood covered the ground. Luckily its automatically cleaned.

"Eternal torment as my fighter." I call out as the soul is ripped from the body and pulled underground.
