Chapter 341 340. The First And Last Quest.



"All I need is five minutes after all this is done, please." I pleaded and sent her back, fearful to hear her rejection. It wasn't that I couldn't understand her feelings, but I still needed a chance to make things right, though I know things wouldn't be the same until a long time even after our conversation, as I need to build back all the trust she lost in me.

But,

I still couldn't just give up, when I know she is also trying her hardest to hold on to even the minutest part of trust and hope which continued to break apart regardless of her will.

Since the time "gap" in my consciousness was near infinity, so not even a split second would have passed in reality.

With a deep sigh, which caused strong winds to blow across planet Antinoüs, I, who was under a state of omnipresent, gazed down at "everything."

A volley ball sized globe of planet Antinoüs materialized in front of me, as I, too, began to manifest. A dense cosmic energy concentrated around the globe and gradually, I began to manifest out of nothingness. This time, instead of black, my hair was white, that glittered due to the sunlight as it fluttered under a strange occurrence.

Soon, I, a celestial being, floated mid-space while holding the globe of planet Antinoüs, as the chains that shackled my neck, and the others that weren't able to chain me, dangled around me and the globe, mid-space.

My bright orange eyes with vertical black slits glimmered under a cold glint as I gazed at the globe that was rotating respectively in its orbit with three of its moons glimmering brightly in my cosmic energy-formed body.

Currently, I had my eyes on everything and felt everything happening in the world, such absurd amount of information brainstorming somebody would make the brain explode before they "understood" or even comprehend everything, but that's where my hard earned title of a God came into play, and if a "God" couldn't even look after a, single, mere planet, then he/she would be quite pathetic, won't he?

But,

Currently, my mind was thinking of two different kinds of scenarios, on a certain corner, I was thinking about what would happen after I took this step and accelerate the inevitable, while on the other corner, I was thinking if things would have been different if I had been myself from the start,

But I dismissed that thought because I knew of the outcome if that really was the case, and no matter what I did, if I was myself with Isha,

She would have gotten hurt, quite badly to be honest.

And that was a fact that I wouldn't ever be able to deny or refute.

My pupils slightly dilated as I cleared up my thoughts and decided to act on the what I planned for now.

And complying with my will, the nine, city towering, pillar-like spikes planted into the ground, abruptly pierced deeper into the ground until the flat end was sheathed into the ground, making it look like a humongous door that covered an building sized underground facility.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it, as ripples, both under and above ground, shot out from the spikes from the speed they were integrated into the ground. Each of the underground ripples uprooted everything in its path and left everything in ruins, killing almost everyone and everything in its way, which was true to all nice of those spikes, of course, I took caution and protected the living beings that were still alive.

And, as I began to dematerialise, the cosmic energy dispersed without disrupting anything that flowed in its respective order.

And then it happened.

DING-!

A extremely familiar chiming sound sounded in my consciousness, and

DING-!

[Few Gods and Goddesses are furious at the actions of the "?"]

[Few Gods and Goddesses are spewing profanities, exasperated!]

I smirked at them because they were exactly the ones that I had killed cold blood, previously, and even drank the blood of few while they were still alive, it wasn't that I had some kind of strange fetish, but a few gods' gazes just infuriated me at times.

'How brutal.' I thought with a small smile, while another series of emotions wrecked havoc in my mind.

'But I couldn't do anything about it now..... So instead of regretting everything, I should stop thinking about it and be truthful while speaking with Isha.' I concluded and soon manifested back in the translucent room, while everything below was in ruins, with ground upturned.

I glanced at Isha only to notice her averting her gaze as she, sneakily, made contact from time to time. With a pitiful smile crept up on my face, I glanced at Heath as my gaze turned cold before my bright orange eyes glimmered ominously. If gazes could kill, Heath would have died at least a thousand times in the bear minimum.

Well, it wasn't that difficult to make it happen, I just needed to put intent into my gaze and nothing of him, not even his ashes would remain.

"Can I kill him?" I asked.

Understanding I was asking for her permission,

"N-no, I'll do it." Isha said and got up from her throne with Eunomia still in her arms.

Eunomia's gaze turned cold, slightly colder than mine, as she gazed at her mother's half-brother.

[Restrain yourself] I said to Eunomia telepathically, and her gaze turned misty in an instant.

"Mama, that uncle's gaze is scary.... Hic." Eunomia hugged Isha and trembled in her arms as she hiccupped in Isha's neck, hugging Isha tightly as if she, an omnipotent being, was scared of an insignificant half-blooded undead.

At Eunomia's words Isha's eyes glimmered coldly and before Heath voiced out his disbelief and unfairness,

SLASH-!

Isha waved her hand and her Ice Blood Katana materialized out of her inventory and floated mid-air before it slit through Heath's neck in an instant, killing him.

Heath's now decapitated head slowly slid off from his body, with a subtle thud, as blood splurted out like a fountain, Isha, in her current state, had completely forgotten about the requirement to destroy the heart of a vampire to kill it, well, she had two strong people always covering her back, so both, me and my daughter readied ourselves to flick our fingers as a miniature translucent needles materialized in front of fingers which we flicked.

I flicked from Heath's right and Eunomia flicked from his front, behind Isha's back as she walked back towards her throne like a tyrant empress. And the needle pierced through his heart without a drop of blood leaking from either side.

After Isha sat back on the throne, she busied herself with Eunomia, uncaring of the things happening around her, as I coldly strode towards Henry, as my omniscience specifically enveloping him.

The more I learned what had happened, the more my gaze turned colder.

"You disgust me." I said with disappointment, and I was also able to learn about how it looked like from Isha's subspace. It had no actual difference except for them being inside a black translucent cover, that hid them away from the outside, and also left them at Isha's mercy, since she was the only one who could use it, and if she didn't want them alive, then they wouldn't have been to breathe until Isha herself allowed them to do so.

Henry's entire body shuddered when he heard the words that came out of my mouth.

"Should I bring "him" here, or should I let him enjoy the few moments of his life?"

"I'll just leave him be, for now."

While Eshwar was continuously mumbling to himself, Core, coldly, glared at Henry, whom she had loved until a few weeks ago.

Everything had begun a few weeks ago, when Henry had suddenly become "active." He began to "show" his love like never before, which was far too strange, because it had always been 'Core seducing and clinging onto Henry, for his attention, love, and care,' but then on the day, they were transported into this world, planet Antinoüs, while they were selecting their desired weapons and pocket systems, Henry head disappeared for a long while, and when he returned, the tables had turned, it was then 'Henry seducing and clinging onto Core, for her attention, love, and care.'

Who would find it strange if one's lover begins to take care and be attentive towards the other?

Core did.

She began to grow suspicious of Henry, and it wasn't long until she dared and asked him if something was going on with him, it was from then on,

Core's bad days began.
