Asmond heard chattering and it made him wake up from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Arum, Glen, and Roxanne talking on the other side of the room with some of the employees. He realized he was inside the Fraternity building, and then he saw Enma leaning against the wall surrounded by Rufus and the others. They were treating her wounds, but it looked like she wasn't going to make it.
"Asmond? Asmond!" Roxanne looked at him with relief. "You finally wake up! Enma is..." Roxanne continued, but then Asmond got up and raised his hand.
They looked at him walk toward them as he looked around the building through the glass walls. He looked at all the dead bodies that were scattered on the floor, and they were all mutilated into pieces. He saw Rufus and Silas covering the dead bodies with clothes and towels.
He looked at Enma's severed body and could see she was trying to protect everyone in the room. She was smiling at him, but before he could say anything to her, her smile disappeared and her eyes became empty.
Everyone was crying when they saw Enma dead. Rufus and Silas came into the room since they heard everyone crying. They saw Enma's lifeless body and immediately lowered their heads and hands clenched.
Asmond looked at his newly attained skills, the skills that had been gifted to him by Mara when he begged after the feeling of betrayal. [Semi Deus], [Deus Obscisor], and lastly [Void Sanctuary]. He had ascended and became a Demi-God, and the [Void Sanctuary] was similar to [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill where he could do anything inside it, but only a small area of it.
It was more powerful than the [Nigh-Omnipotence] skill since he could manipulate life and death. The skill itself could only be used once a week because it was too powerful for him. He didn't have the chance to remove the mark on his forehead, so he had to hide with a headband.
After he ascended, Mara started to speak with him and told him who Mykel really was. He was still shocked that Mykel was a God, and a powerful being as well compared to the other Constellation. He asked what the reason was for Mykel to go to that extent, but Mara didn't answer his questions.
"Asmond, should we bury her?" Roxanne asked Asmond, who had been staring blankly at Enma's dead body.
"No, I'm going to bring her back to life. I don't want to lose her, and everyone that died. I'll bring everyone back to life," Asmond answered with a serious expression. "But I'm going to need a week before I can do that, so please bring all of them into the building. I'll preserve their bodies from decaying," Asmond continued and looked at them.
Roxanne and the others looked at each other. They nodded their heads and left to gather all the dead bodies in all Districts. Everyone left and tried to collect as many dead bodies as possible while Asmond took care of the dead bodies in the building and brought them to the training ground.
Asmond was carrying the dead bodies to the ground floor when he saw a helicopter flying toward the Abaddon Tower. It had the Guild Association emblem on it and he already knew why they were there. He had no more power to stop them from breaching the agreement, and he had no right to stop them either since he lost everything.
"I don't think the Fraternity Association is needed anymore," Asmond talked to himself as he carried a body in his arms. "I should disband this before he decided to kill them again for working with me," Asmond looked down and was irritated by the situation he was in.
It took Asmond and the others to collect all the dead bodies or at least the ones that could be collected since if the bodies were not complete, they would lose the limbs that were missing during the resurrection. He turned the whole training ground into a giant freezer and preserved the bodies.
"Thank you for gathering them all. I'll bring them back to life in four days," Asmond said as he looked at the piles of dead bodies in front of him. There were at least a thousand of them, and he was glad that they could bring that many.
"It's the least we can do, and it's our fault that we couldn't protect them," Roxanne replied as she shook her head.
Everyone went into silence after that and didn't know what else to say except to see the failure that was right in front of them.
"Asmond, I'm sorry, for everything," Rufus said and he felt a massive guilt in his chest.
"It's alright, we're all being manipulated and fell to Mykel's scheme. To think all the powerful figures in this world are all the Demon Princesses, and they're all working for Mykel. Even if we want to fight them, it's already too late and we are powerless against him," Asmond pointed out as he looked at Enma's body right before him.
"What are we going to do now? After you resurrect them?" Roxanne asked.
"We are going to disband the Fraternity Association. That's the only way to protect everyone from getting involved with me. I don't want innocent lives to die because of me, and I also want you guys to stop getting involved with me," Asmond answered and looked at them with a pitiful expression.
"What are you talking about? Are we going to let him get what he wants?" Roxanne asked.
"The worst-case scenario, what's he going to do with us if he cleared all the towers? Let him do it since it's something that he wants in the first place. Even if you want revenge, he's a God, and it's impossible even for you to harm him," Asmond pointed out. "He's only interested in me for some unknown reasons, and it's better for all of you not to be with me for your own safety," Asmond continued.
All of them didn't know what to say even though they all had a grudge against Mykel. Knowing they were facing a God, it was already over for them unless they got the same set of skills as Asmond. Although they were useless, they still wanted to help him.
"We will be by your side when you need us, Asmond. We are going to grow stronger not for fighting Mykel, but to fight those Demon Princesses," Roxanne said and she meant what she said. Rufus and the others agreed with her. "Please remember this, Asmond. We will come when you need us," Roxanne looked Asmond in the eye.
"Thank you. It's time to say goodbye then, for now," Asmond nodded his head and smiled at them.
They all nodded in agreement and then left after giving a tight hug to Asmond.
On the seventh day, Asmond resurrected thousands of lives without any cameras or people to witness. He couldn't believe how easy it was for him, but he lost all his strength after using the [Void Sanctuary] skill. He managed to remove the mark on his forehead as well.
Everyone was looking at their bodies and couldn't believe they came back to life. They all looked at Asmond and thanked him for bringing them back since they had families that were waiting for them. He then told them about his plan for disbanding the Fraternity Association and told them it was for their own safety. They understood and thanked him one last time before they left and went home.
"Are you sure about this?" Enma asked as she sat down next to Asmond, who couldn't move a single muscle in his body.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "It's for the best, for everyone. I'm tired of the responsibility that I didn't ask for," Asmond answered as he leaned his head against the wall. "It's better for you to leave and live a normal life, Enma. You have Gunnar, right? You have someone that's precious to you," Asmond smiled with his eyes closed.
"What are you going to do now?" Enma looked at Asmond with pity.
"I still have to hold a press conference and announce the end of the Fraternity Association. After that, maybe I will go into the Lucifer Tower and gain levels there," Asmond answered. "I might meet Rufus and the others there," Asmond continued.
"Then I'll accompany you. I don't think Mykel would kill me since Gunnar would be so angry. Although Mykel is like that, he respects everyone's private affairs. So let me take advantage of it," Enma replied.
"That would be very nice," Asmond smiled and nodded his head happily.
"Let me carry you back home and rest," Enma said as she slowly picked him up.
