Chapter 600 The True Goal of The Primordial Beast
As Lenny gazed upon the image of the little girl offering her heartfelt prayer, tears welled up in his eyes. This poignant scene struck a chord deep within him, for it touched upon a tender part of Lenny's heart.
The Primordial Beast, cunning in its orchestration, had unveiled a sore spot for Lenny.
Lenny's purpose, etched into the core of his being, was to liberate humanity from the oppressive clutches of demons.
Yet, the images before him painted a harsh reality—hearts tormented, lives in peril, and his mission seemingly thwarted. The weight of his goal bore heavy on his shoulders, especially knowing that his pursuit of power had jeopardized his ability to fulfill this noble quest.
Amidst the aquatic currents, where emotions swirled like eddies, Lenny's tears merged with the surrounding waters. The Primordial Beast, with its tendrils suspended in the liquid medium, watched with a knowing gaze. It had struck at Lenny's vulnerability, revealing the conflict within him—the desire to protect and free humanity clashing with the pursuit of personal power, a struggle that threatened to engulf his noble aspirations.
Now that it knew it had gotten Lenny, it was time to strike with its true intensions.
"I understand your pain, Lenny, as one that had lived since the formation of this world, I truly understand your pain. I too do not want Humans to be burdened with the hurt that demons present. You see, like the City of Milk and honey, I see them too like my children.
You see, our goals are aligned. Why don't you join me, let's drive these vermin from the surface of the earth. Let us free our world from their clutches. together, we can usher in a better world."
As the Primordial beast said this, a opening appeared on its forehead and some blue blood flowed out. This was the beast's blood.
Lenny with his head still bowed asked lowly, "What... what do I have to do?"
"its really simple! you see, this burden on your shoulders is just too much. Even I know that it is too much to handle. And the pain far ahead is just too much. You have been given a second chance at life, and you have much to live for, much of the unknown world to explore. Why don't you take the time and explore... I heard you are quite good at being a surgeon. You could explore such a career if you wish or even take up painting.
You know, its the simple things in life that actually make living worth while."
"Really?" lenny asked still sobbing.
"Yes, yes my child. it is. and I understand this more than anyone else. So I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you let me take a part of that burden for you?" noVe(Lb.In
"And how are you going to do that?"
"its simple really! All you have to do is take some of my very specially prepared heart blood. As long as you take this, you will have incredible power. Enough power to turn the tide of suffering in this world."
"Really?"
"of course!"
"And what about my master's desire. Will I be able to avenge him?"
"Of course you will. However, the trouble will no longer be on your head. You see, I will take the burden of this very precarious task from your hands, so that you can concentrate on other things."
Crimson seraph's voice had suddenly become one of affection, like a mother truly trying to help her child. One of its tentacles even patted Lenny on the back ever so softly and gently.
"And... and how will you do that?" Lenny asked.
"You see, the System you have been given is the reason for all your troubles. I will take that from you so that you can have a more easy paced life. You will have power to stand and save the humans of the world, but at the same time relieved of the burden. So what do you think? All you have to do is drink this special heart blood of mine."
"Okay..." Lenny nodded as he strecthed his hand towards the blue glowing blood.
As he did, the excitement of the Primordial beast could be seen from the way some of its tentacles swayed in the air.
However, before Lenny touched it, he paused a bit, "I... before I do this, I just have one question."
The primordial beast was angry at this, but an ancient being like it had incredible amounts of patience. Besides, it was about to get what it wanted.
"Sure... go on! I am very old. I know every thing there is to know in this world."
lenny nodded as he swarm closer to the Primordial beast. he stopped just before Victor. Gently, Lenny raised his hand as he stroked the boy's cheeks.
"What is going to be of him?" Lenny asked.
"Don't worry about it Lenny. As you know, In this life, there must be some sacrifices in order for us to achieve our goals. You yourself killed a lot of people for the better good so I'm sure you understand." The Primordial beast answered.
"This is just one of those sacrifices. I had blessed his parent's body with a bit of my essence so that they could birth him. The perfect candidate to take on my being.
I had tried with other species before but it was all unsuccessful. but as you can see, the transfer with this one is as smooth as breathing. Truly, humans were created to be the perfect beings. Even after the taint of sin and its curse, they are still perfect."
Lenny could hear a taint of pride in the voice of the Primordial beast. It was happy about its achievement. From its intonation, Lenny could tell that it had really tried again and again until the solution of all that pain was birth in Victor.
It was for this reason that Victor's blood was the purest in the history of the City of milk and honey.
"Was it your experiments that made these humans werewolves?" Lenny suddenly asked.
