"Even if we were tortured and killed within each Life Cycle, we were allowed no rest. The Supreme Deity would always say that the lower races are always suffering, and that we must provide judgment to relieve them of their own evil hearts.
"But what was the judgment? We had to evaluate each planet and avoid mass destruction. We had to go through hell to ensure that we only killed the bad people.
"And then guess what; we have to go through another Life Cycle to make sure there are no evil people left!!
"Can you imagine the torture we had to go through? We were only allowed to destroy a planet if it was deemed evil after a hundred trials, a hundred!! And you think you know about-"
"Oh boy, you have some serious issues up there, huh?" Tu interrupted and pointed towards his head mockingly. "Dear, dear, although I may be handsome, I am not a psychologist. With that being said, I may be able to help you with a referral if you need one. We got some good psychologists on Earth, they'll treat you for half the price if-"
"Shut up!" Gabriel yelled hysterically. His eyes almost turned white from the blood flooding them. "You dare mock me, you weak b*stard! You know what, you want to talk about betrayal? Yes, I sold my Supreme Deity for more power!
"Out of all people, you must be the one seeking power the most, so you should understand me, right? You, 'pathetic Monarch'!
"Hahahaha! Yes, after all, you were the pitiful person who watched his lover die between his arms. Did you think that no one would know if you tried to keep it a secret?
"Wasn't that girl forced to protect you until her own death? If you weren't so weak, how can she, a Monarch, die like that?
"She had to give up her role as a Monarch for you, did she not? Otherwise, how could you become a Monarch?
"What a pathetic waste of life! She not only died for a weakling like you, but even gave you literally the thing she cherished the most. But the funniest thing ever is that you actually managed to lose it, ahahaha!
"See, you powerless b*tch, even after all of her sacrifices, you don't even understand what power truly is! You disgust me-"
"Enough," Tu said in a calm voice. He looked down at his own hands before clenching them into fists tightly. A look of inexplicable emotion surged through his crimson eyes. "Uhm, this at least confirms my doubts. 'They' were the ones helping you, huh…
"Uhm, there should be no one left alive who knows the story and is willing to share it but 'them'.
"And what you said is true, of course. The girl 'they' told you about was called Kiana, and yes, she was my one and only sweet lover and the true Monarch of Contracts.
"Kiana indeed died because of my weakness... If I wasn't so weak back then, she would have been able to at least defend herself against 'them' without having to worry about me.
"It is also true that she gave me her most cherished thing, but it was not what the 'b*stards' that are helping you in the dark mentioned; Kiana gave me her heart.
"That's something you and 'them' would never understand!
"Unfortunately though, I was extremely incompetent and did indeed lose everything she gave me, including the two objects 'they' are looking for. To be fair, I believe that 'they' already have them…
"Anyhow, it doesn't really matter even if they do have them. Because, thanks to Kiana, no one other than me has the ability to use them.
"So, it's only a matter of time before I avenge her and kill those who don't deserve to live.
"With that being said," Tu suddenly looked down, allowing his crimson hair to cover his matching eyes as they glared at Gabriel, making him look like a terrifying ghost of blood. "Thanks to you mentioning that incident, I am actually very angry now.
"Because of your disgusting behaviour, I, the current Monarch of contracts, have determined that you have breached the contract agreement we made.
"The contract states mutual peace, yet you dared to psychologically harm me, now I need a psychologist to treat me, are you willing to compensate me?"
"Huh? Did you go insane?" Gabriel asked mockingly. "Me, compensate you? You can go f*ck yourself!"
"Hm, vulgar and very impolite for a distinguished Seraph, I must say. But that's okay..." Tu smiled like a devil all of a sudden as he stared at Gabriel, almost reaching his soul, causing him to shudder. "Then you shall now bear the consequences of breaching my contract!"
With a wave of his hand, crimson energy escaped Tu's ordinary looking body and crashed against the thousands of angels that were forming the killing formation around him.
The crimson energy quickly, swiftly, and silently, collided into the formation and shook the angels forming it violently.
Strangely, there were no screams at all, not even gasps. However,inside their seemingly ordinary bodies, their souls were cracking and breaking like fragile glass.
"What *cough* what- what did you do to us?" Gabriel managed to squeeze after a lot of struggle. His face and clothing were full of milky white blood after he finished. Alas, he couldn't even stay alive for a few seconds to hear Tu's answer.
On that spot of the empty space, everyone but Tu was inexplicably dead, even though their bodies were still strangely intact.
"The price of breaching my contracts is never easy to pay," Tu forced a smile as his face contorted in pain. His figure seemed to be slowly dissolving into the surrounding void. "Your souls are cheap, but they will do, for now…"
"Tch," Looking down at himself, he saw the state of his body and could not help but click his tongue in annoyance. "It seems that I have to pay the price too, huh…
"Little Raven, I'm sorry, but it seems that although I meant to stay with you and help you for a little longer, you will have to be on your own for the time being…"
***
Across the void, far away from Earth, one Angel and one Soul Weaver were leaning against one another.
The Angel was holding the Soul Weaver's head in a tender embrace, fondling with her silky crimson-purple locks.
The scene would have looked rather cute and sweet if… if it wasn't for the countless dead bodies floating in the space all around them, like strange space wreckage.
Those bodies didn't have any wounds and weren't leaking any blood, but they looked wrong… they looked as though they had lost their essence...
Just in accordance with Kayla's plan, many angels were called upon and almost each one of them was left as an empty corpse.
Raven needed healing after all, and Kayla wasn't taking any chances. She brought these angels and applied the same concept she applied to the Cyber Cores; she used both of her own skill: Absorption, and Raven's skill: Siphon Life, and the results were not unsatisfactory.
Now, Raven's power level has reached the rank of Star Seventy after absorbing the life forces of so many angels. And needless to say, her injuries have mostly healed.
Of course, no matter how good her skills were, she still can't fully regenerate organs or body parts; meaning that she was still missing her left eye. And although Kayla may be able to create her a new one from Cyber Matter, it is not something that can be done casually.
With that being said, Raven didn't seem to mind at all. As she mentioned earlier, one eye was enough for her to see Maya, and that seemed to be what she cared about the most at the moment.
In front of the two of Maya and Raven, there were a number of angels who were kneeling down in the void, strangely and silently. Those angels did not dare look at the two girls directly, as if it was the biggest sin they could commit.
They were the last of Maya's forces that she didn't sacrifice, according to Kayla's orders of course. Sar, the angel that was responsible for escorting Raven previously, was amongst this crowd. It seemed that Kayla had some rather special plans for them...
"How are you feeling?" A soft voice escaped Maya's lips as she adjusted her plushy silver-white hair. Her eyes didn't dare leave Raven's for even a second.
"I feel way better than before; there is no pain now. Don't worry, hehe," Raven said with a soft giggle as she tightened her grip around Maya. A part of her was still having trouble believing what had happened.
Not only did she find Maya easily, but she also found out that she was one of the four Seraphim of the End; she had a terrifying power level that she could not hope of reaching! Not any time soon, at least.
