Villain Retirement

1110 Chapter 1110: Lost

"The Order Of Nothing surfaced a hundred years after the start of the Immortality event. When the people have finally started to adjust to their newfound agelessness — they came out of nowhere, announcing to the people that everything was wrong…

…and that they came to fix it, to bring order to the broken clock."

"Hm…"

Riley and Miss Pepondosovich were currently in the tower of the Nothing Nothing squad, and it turns out there — it wasn't just a simple HQ for the so-called elite squad. It was also a museum to remind everyone of the things that have happened during the time that Death was not present, which the people of the Unknown have learned to call the Immortality Event.

And right now, the Nothing Nothing tower was filled to the brim with people as the Overseer herself was acting as some sort of tour guide for Riley and Miss Pepondosovich. After all, if they were going to fight their fight, they must fully understand what they were truly fighting for.

"The Order of Nothing did not always start as a violent bunch of crusaders, no…" The Overseer closed her eyes as she continued to walk through the museum, which featured several holograms that showed the evolution of the Order of Nothing, "...They were helping people at first — well, at least you could call it that…

…they were helping people pass."

"Helping people pass?" Miss Pepondosovich's ears perked up as soon as she heard that, "You mean mercy killing?"

"Yes," the Overseer let out a long and very deep sigh as she continued to walk through the mirage of holograms and screens, "Mercy killings."

"A lot of people wanted to end it after a hundred years," Aurora, who was following behind Riley and Miss Pepondosovich whispered while pointing at the holograms that showed the Order of Nothing actually helping people and even giving refuge to them.

"Most people are not meant to live more than a hundred years," Riley let out a small hum as he nodded, "I do not even deserve to have even lived at all."

"That's…" Aurora almost stopped walking as soon as she heard Riley's words.

"Don't mind him," Miss Pepondosovich scoffed while waving her hands, "He gets like that sometimes… actually, he gets like that most of the time."

"Right…" Aurora nodded as she just stared at Riley's back.

"That one looks similar to the Overseer," Riley then pointed at one of the holograms standing taller than the rest, "But with more hair and a lot more presentable and not ugly."

"That's because it's me," the Overseer could really only let out a sigh as she heard that. In truth, she was waiting for them to notice — but she didn't really think that she would get insulted just like that out of nowhere, "I just aged after the time moved again."

"You were part of the Order of Nothing, Overseer?" Riley tilted his head to the side as he stood in front of the hologram and looked at the label beneath it, "No — you are one of the people who started it."

"Yes, and no," the Overseer stood beside Riley and looked at her own image that had already come to pass, "The Order of Nothing was already an organization when I joined — a small one, that is. And they weren't called the Order of Nothing back then, it's been so long that I've actually already forgotten."

"And they grew when you joined?" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes.

"Yes," the Overseer seemed completely regretful as she could not even look at herself anymore and just turned around, "I was a celebrity back then — famous in at least 20 Star Systems, a Galactic Diva… what a joke."

"You became their mascot, Overseer," Riley also just turned around as he followed the Overseer as she once again moved across the museum.

"I became their voice," the Overseer closed her eyes and just once again let out a very long and deep sigh, "Like a siren, I serenaded people to their deaths. But of course, it was peaceful then — and the people truly wanted it. They wanted it, I know…

…because I wanted it too. I want to finally rest."

"But you couldn't," Miss Pepondosovich looked at the holograms they hadn't explored yet.

"No," the Overseer shook her head, "I took it as an obligation because I've seen the relief on people's faces when they finally pass. It was so peaceful, they didn't have to suffer anymore — and believe me, believe me when I say that I only sang to those who were suffering…

…but then everything changed when he joined."

The Overseer then pointed at the hologram which projected a man — dark skin, long pointy ears, and hair as silver as they get,

"The man that is now known as Darkday."

"...Not you," Miss Pepondosovich started nudging Riley by his leg, "Riri, it's not any of your clones."

"So it would seem, Miss Pepondosovich," Riley blinked a couple of times as he looked at the so-called Darkday of the Unknown universe, "Do you recognize him from anywhere, Miss Pepondosovich?"

"Hm…" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes again as she carefully looked at the man's face, "...No, nope. Handsome guy, but no. No, wait… he does look familiar but… eh."

"He came out of nowhere," the Overseer continued to recount the history of the Order of Nothing, "Joined as a fledgling and just easily climbed his way to the top of the food chain. He was very charismatic, you know…

…he was even able to use me. He just stepped on everyone until one day, everyone just decided that he would lead the Order of Nothing."

"...And the members were alright with all of his decisions?"

"His decisions were right, at first," the Overseer continued to walk, "In fact, he even made a program to first help those who want to end their lives, to make it better so that they could have another option, another chance. But if they truly can't live with their immortality, that is when he would end it — he was very hands-on, always there…

…that was when I realized something was about to go wrong. He became more and more obsessed with people dying, and then all of a sudden he just changed…

…he said that the people who wanted to die were the real ones, and that those who just wish to continue on living are… fake. He was going on and on and on about it, and somehow, he managed to convince the entire Order of Nothing — he convinced all of them that no one should exist anymore."

"Huh, so he just turned crazy," Miss Pepondosovich shrugged.

"And I left and never looked back," the Overseer sighed, "The Grand Messiah found me, and then put me in charge here — Everywhere. It—"

"Ah!" And all of a sudden, Miss Pepondosovich just raised her voice. Everyone turned to look at her, but she just quickly leaped into the air and grabbed onto Riley's arm before whispering to him and him alone,

"Riri, I recognize him now."

"Hm?" Riley slightly leaned his head closer to Miss Pepondosovich.

"This Darkday guy was in the Domain of the Gods…" Miss Pepondosovich breathed out, "...He has a statue near the Land of the Mortals…

…He's one of the Higher Gods. The very first one."

What's he doing all the way to the Unknown part of Riley's universe and not in his own universe
