Chapter 1757: The Good Rewarded, Evil Punished
If he has to describe the experience of trying to see the fate and destiny of people in his world, it is like trying to force your way in a congested highway.
But looking at the fate and destiny of the people of this world is like speeding through an empty highway.
There is no obstruction and obstacle whatsoever.
So, he look at the future of these group of kids and he was surprised at what he sees. Since Azief interfere in this matter, the cause and effect between them has now formed.
And it is a very strong cause and effect.
Azief chuckles because he sees how the future of these people changes because of his interference.
And that future he saw could still be changed.
He look at the kid and then look at Marissa and then he grabbed her wrist.
This sudden movements shocked Jason but as he tries to touch the strange man he found out there was like an invincible barrier.
He was pushed away by this barrier and nearly fall back on the ground.
Marissa was shocked and tries to pull her hand but she found out that she could not move. It is like she is petrified.
"Your fate and destiny has been changed and there is now cause and effect between you and me. So, you will bear my Mark in this world. It is a curse. And a blessing. It is the price for your life."
Ssszz!
Suddenly there is a sizzling sound and everyone could see that the strange man arm is glowing red and one could hear the sound of Marissa skin being burned.
Marrisa winced but the pain is not as severe as she thought.
She does feel there is something being carved on her skin but she did not feel that much pain. Then Azief release his hand and everyone could see that there is mark on her hand.
There is something like a rune on her wrist.
It is like a tattoo being carved on her wrist.
But then only after a few second, the tattoo seems to sink deep into her skin and the mark disappears and no one could see it.
But Marrissa knows the mark is still there.
She just felt it instinctively.
Azief remember there is something else that he needs to do. Then he looks at the kid and said
"I trust that you would not tell what happen today to anyone else." One of them ask,
"what would happen if we tell it to anyone else?" Azief chuckles and simply said
"Would they believe the words of a few kids? I warn you. If you do it, you would be ridiculed" Then he look at Marrisa, Jason and Ethan and he shakes his head with a smile
He crouch down for a second, look at Marissa and said to her
"Remember what I will say" Azief make sure she understood her. For a moment, there is only silence between them and Marissa could see that this strange man is waiting for an answer
So, she nodded
"The use of magic always have a price. Never do magic that would cross the line of that price. If you do...then death would be preferable"
Marissa seems dumbfounded for a moment. And it is understandable.
After all, he spoke about magic.
What happens to her right now might seem like a fever dream. And he himself did not give her time to calm down.
Azief knows Marrissa might not yet understand this.
It would take time.
And now, it is a time that she now have.
Azief himself is not immune to the price of magic.
For the lowly magic, equivalent exchange is the rule.
But when you could leverage more divine power, other kind of exchange is required.
For this world, he wonder what kind of laws would it follow and what kind of laws would it endorse?
At least not at first.
Right now, she must feel guilty.
Yet, she also tries to rationalize it.
People would be soft hearted at this time
Because some people might believe that this woman could turn around. And Azief believe
anything is possible.
However, Azief has certain perspective other people did not. He could see the past, present
and future of people.
He could see her mental state. He could see the kind of choices that this woman would make.
And this woman is a mortal woman.
She would not change. Azief knows this best. Chances after chances. She must be punished.
But how to punish her? Kill her? Torture her?
Azief did not think much about this woman.
He wanted to erase this woman completely.
After all, Azief could see how this woman would grow up and how she would end up.
She would life a guilt free life.
She would not change. Nor would she turns around. An evil person like this have a good life.
She would become a drug dealer. She did not get caught. And in the cases where she did get caught, she is lucky that some people still believe that she could reform
Azief did not deny that there is people that would reform from drug. As long as the system is there, people with addiction could return back to normalcy.
But this nation he is in, clearly did not have the intention to reform prisoners. Azief did not
care much about this world politics nor did he came here to change how this world is run
And her sin is not only about drug.
Azief had look at her life before. With her drug dealing activity, she would save some money
and get out of this bad neighbourhood
But Azief seems more than just this success troy of a killer, drug dealer, shameless person. He sees all the connected cause and effect
When she sold all of those drugs, how many families she broke up. One could argue she is only
part of the chain.
Yet, it is these chains that also does harm
She....is the tyranny of evil men.
She chose to do it. In this world, or in any other world, it might seem like there is no choice at
all.
But there is always a choice. People just sometimes turns away from the choice. Because the
other choice is hard to do
Right thing are always hard to practice.
When there is many evil people, right things would be vilified.
When there is rightness, there would be darkness that come to pervert it.
Azief judges her by the harm that she had already done and the harm that she would do. The
killing tonight is the last line.
Now, that she has killed, this final line has been broken.
"This time you would not live a full life"
