Chapter 60: Self-Existence Erasure, Killing Death Envoy And Truth Keeper
[Not only do you have the power of your Zenith avatar, but you also possess the abilities of Space Storage and Social Distancing.]
[In other words, you didn't need to gather thirteen avatar crystals to reach Zenith, and your current strength was enough to dominate this world—except when it came to the Death Envoy and the Truth Keeper.]
[Recalling those two old fossils, you knew that if the Truth Keeper uncovered your disguise, the Death Envoy's instant death ability would spell your end.]
[However, this time, you weren't the same as in the previous simulation. You already had a plan to bypass the Death Envoy's deadly ability.]
[In essence, the Death Envoy could only kill you because the Truth Keeper had exhausted all his energy to see through your disguise.]
[Without knowing a target's true name and appearance, the Death Envoy's power is useless. Disguises or aliases hinder his ability to strike instantly.]
["If I'm not mistaken, the Truth Keeper should have already glimpsed his future death at my hands. Changing my identity would be pointless now; he could still see through any disguise I come up with."]
[You sighed. "It seems my only option is to use my existence erasure ability to remove myself from reality. In that state, even the Truth Keeper will forget about me, unable to see through my disguise."]
[With that plan in mind, you activated your existence erasure ability.]
[In an instant, your presence vanished—erased from the world, as if you had never existed.]
[With your existence erased, you stepped outside your home, the world around you unaware of your presence.]
[A sly grin crept onto your face as you raised your hand, summoning five thousand of your purple-colored invisible tentacles. The mass of writhing limbs lifted you smoothly into the air, carrying you into the sky.]
[You were now "flying," but in truth, it was your tentacles propelling you forward, far faster than any aircraft could.]
[The wind rushed past you, but no one could see you or feel your presence.]
['I already know where they live thanks to Evangeline's Goddess Simulation,' you mused. 'Those two old fossils are about to pay for everything they've done. They won't see it coming.']
[With your destination clear—the Death Envoy and Truth Keeper's retirement house—you surged forward, crossing an entire continent within mere minutes.]
[Your tentacles stretched across the sky, faster than anything human technology could manage.]
[Time was of the essence. The existence erasure ability had a limited duration, and you couldn't afford to waste a second.]
[Soon enough, their modest retirement home came into view. It was nestled in a quiet area, completely unassuming, much like any other home for two elderly retirees. Except these "retirees" were among the most dangerous beings in the Avatar World.]
[Inside, the Death Envoy and Truth Keeper went about their lives, completely unaware of the death looming over them. They were sitting on their old leather couch, lazily watching a nature documentary on TV.]
["You know," the Truth Keeper said, stroking his beard, "we've lived long enough to see the world change multiple times. And yet, the animal kingdom remains the same. Simple, primal."]
[The Death Envoy chuckled, reaching for a bowl of peanuts on the coffee table. "If only humans were as straightforward. Instead, they bring their chaos to everything."]
[The window behind them slid open with the gentlest of whispers, unnoticed by either of the old men. You stepped inside, your tentacles already slithering across the floor silently, like death incarnate.]
[In their arrogance, they hadn't bothered to place any security measures around their home. They thought they were untouchable—after all, who would dare come after them?]
[As you crept closer, the TV droned on in the background, showing lions prowling across a savanna. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on you.]
['Prowling predators… about to be taken down by a more powerful force,' you thought as your tentacles slithered up the legs of the couch.]
[You positioned yourself behind them, unnoticed as they continued to watch TV.]
[Without warning, your tentacles struck. One pierced through the Truth Keeper's chest before he could even react. His eyes widened in shock as he gasped, "Wh—" But he couldn't finish the thought.]
[The Death Envoy turned his head slightly, but before he could even comprehend what was happening, a tentacle had already punctured his skull. His body went limp instantly.]
[In the span of mere seconds, both of them were dead—reduced to lifeless husks. Their deaths were as silent as your approach, and for a moment, the only sound in the room was the quiet hum of the television.]
[With a satisfied smirk, you stepped over their bodies and surveyed the room.]
[As expected, the Death Envoy and Truth Keeper dropped their most prized possessions—twenty-six avatar crystals and four celestial crystals. The glow from the crystals lit up the room as you scooped them into your Space Storage.]
["Well, that was easier than I thought," you muttered, stepping out of the open window.]
[You didn't even bother with their corpses. Let them rot. Even if some miracle resurrected them, they wouldn't pose a threat anymore.]
[Lifting yourself back into the sky with your tentacles, you soared back across the continent.]
[In just a few minutes, you arrived home, your mood lightened by the spoils of your assassination.]
["That takes care of them," you said to yourself as you landed, a contented smile spreading across your face. "And I even got a nice haul."]
[The threat of the Death Envoy and Truth Keeper had been erased, just like your presence in the world.]
[You returned inside, feeling invincible, and sat back on the couch.]
[The satisfaction of eliminating two of your biggest threats lingered as you relaxed, content with the thought that the future was finally yours for the taking.]
[The deaths of the Death Envoy and the Truth Keeper not only ensured your survival, but also indirectly secured Evangeline's future.]
[After all, even if Evangeline hadn't been on a path to avenge your death, she would've eventually been forced to confront the Death Envoy and the Truth Keeper after recovering her memories. They possessed the celestial crystals she needed to regain her full power.]
[You pondered for a moment. "Now that those two old fossils are out of the way, what should I do next? Check up on Evangeline, or collect more celestial crystals to become a Celestial Avatar Master myself?"]
