Chapter 1028 Cruel World

Chapter 1028 Cruel World

"Noooooo!"

A young Giant screamed on top of his lungs as he rushed into a pile of ruins.

"No! No! No!"

The young Giant pushed apart the shattered rocks and and debris, searching for something.

"Noooooooo!"

Tears streamed down his eyes while his heart seemed to be clutched tightly by vines of thorns.

Rummaging through the debris with tearful eyes, the young Giant soon found a hand.

"Lula! Lula! Lula!"

As if cast with a booster spell, the young Giant's strength increase many folds as he saw the scarred hand, bloody hand.

All the debris around it was cleared in just a few seconds and the sight he saw made his heart stop.

A woman lay with her eyes open, and mouth agape, staring at the sky. Her eyes were lifeless, face scarred as much as her hands, and she did not seem to be breathing.

The young Giant could not process what he was looking at.

Only after a solid few minutes, did the reality sink in.

"Lu..la..."

The young Giant felt a big lump form in his throat and was unable to speak. Even if no words came out, his body, which was now trembling, and eyes which were flooded by salty tears expressed his grief.

"Lula... Lula. Lula! Lula! LulaLulaLulaLula!"

The young Giant slammed the ground beside the dead lady and went into a state of madness.

"Why? Why? Why?"

"Why did this happen? What wrong did we ever do!?"

"Why you and not me?!"

"Whyyyyyy... Whyyyyyy..."

The young Giant descended into madness as he smashed all the debris around him. Even in his crazed state, his arms never hit the lifeless body of the girl called Lula.

The young Giant stood up after a while and distanced himself from Lula, trying not to hurt her.

"WhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhyWhy!?!?!"

The young Giant kicked, smashed, and threw whatever he could around him.

"Aaaaaahhhhh! Why??? What wrong did Lula ever do? What wrong did I ever do to deserve this?"

The young Giant continued to scream as memories of past flashed in front of his eyes.

-Hey Yudor, I-I-I...

-You...?

-I..I want to say something, Yudor.

-Hm, it sounds serious. Haven't seen you this serious in a while.

-S, shut up... let me speak...

-Heh... are you going to propose to me, Lula, with that blushing face of yours?

-...

-haha... it's a jok..e... huh? Why are you crying?

-...

-...wait, what...

-Y-you idiot! You bastard! You ruined it!

-Ah... I'm so sorry...

-Hmph! Don't talk to me anymore!

Yudor was bawling as he remembered the day where he started dating his dead wife Lula.

"God's above... sob... God's above..."

"...please... just once... God's... above..."

Yudor's voice turned faint as time passed.

His hazy eyes dimmed and turned lifeless as he slowly lay beside his dead wife.

"Go..d... a..bo..v... e..."

He didn't stop mumbling even after his mind collapsed.

Soon, after who knows how long, light shone in front of Yudor's eyes.

His weakened state of mind recovered to full health and as the light dispersed, in his vision were a pair of deep crimson eyes, staring right at his very soul.

"That's a good resentment."

The unknown being said softly.

"Yudor, was it?"

The God spoke.

"From today, you shall be my apostle of the [— — —] world."

"Hm? Apostle of...?"

Yudor did not know what was happening, and unconsciously asked what the beeped out words meant.

The crimson-eyed God tilted her head in confusion.

"You don't know what [— — —] is?"

"No. I am only hearing 'beep beep beep' when you say that name."

The crimson-eyed God fell silent.

"It seems language now is too advanced for you. Let me speak in ancient Giant language."

"I want you to be the apostle of the [Origin] world."

"Origin?"

"Yes," said God softly. "Your world is infamous. There's not a single soul that does not know about it. However, half a million years ago, it vanished from everyone's eyes. But now, to luck would have it, you believers worshiping us has led to us taking notice of the [Origin]."

"What happened in your world to disappear and reappear like that?"

"I don't know." Yudor said flatly.

The God nodded and didn't dwell on it. Yudor seemed nothing but a small fry.

"From today, you shall be my, Mother Seia's, apostle. If you worship me, believe in me, listen to me, I will fulfill all your wishes."

"All my wishes? Can you bring my wife back?"

"Yes. And I can get your unborn child's soul back as well."

"Please tell me what I need to do!"

.....

The immersion broke and Lith rubbed his forehead as he stared at the Giant called Yudor cocooned on the ground.

'Why did it have to be a sad story?' Lith couldn't help but wonder.

'Why can't villains just be villains due to poor malice?'

'If these fuckers have backstories like this, killing them only just messes with my own morality. Fuck.'

Lith was not happy with this outcome. He felt pity and sympathy for the guy. What he had done was nothing wrong.

There were some things not in one's control.

This was a world of magic where the strongest fist ruled. Cannon fodders getting swept was inevitable in a place like this.

The war Lith had caused was one big example of it. Many had died due to him. There could be some like Yudor in the mix, and had he not been prepared beforehand, the cruel karma he would need to bear might take his own loved ones' life.

'It's risky. Very risky.'

One shouldn't kill unnecessarily unless one was strong enough to handle the karma. It is exactly due to this that not even the unaffiliated Supreme Ranks never caused any trouble.

Lith once again learnt about the harshness of this world in which he had found comfort due to the ones around him.

Sighing, Lith squatted down and touched the cocoon again.

'There's still a major chunk of memories remaining to be seen. Let's see what more is left. This time, I hope there isn't something as traumatic. Please... I can't bear to watch these tragedies...'
