Chapter 327 - No Pity, No Remorse
Chapter 327 – No Pity, No Remorse
I opened my eyes.
I was under Enira's lap.
She was fully healed.
The soldiers were still standing by.
While the girl in white armor was pretty busted up, barely standing. But she was standing regardless. And she had more weapons- guns- now.
"So, which one are you?" Enira asked.
I smiled. "I'm me."
And I was whole again.
I could feel the shadow within me, and I could feel the liquid darkness within me as well. I could feel them and I could feel their wishes, their dreams, their ideals… their sadness: We were one.
And yet, I didn't really feel that different.
This felt nostalgic. It was almost as though we were meant to be together. 'Oh wait, we were one…'
I guess we were more alike than I thought we were.
And I was kind of stupid across the board.
"What's she waiting for?" I said.
"I put her in a daze and she's thinking there are about twelve of you trying to abuse her and stuff," Breya said. "Trust me, it's taking every last bit of my ability even though she's that injured. I don't think I can hold her for longer…"
"And why abuse?" I stood up.
"Well, my mental image of you is kind of…" She stopped, slightly embarrassed.
I just ignored all that and picked up my sword from the ground.
Anyway, I dashed for the girl. She broke from her trance and blocked my sword with her large gun.
I switched to white plasma and the sword started cutting through her weapon, grazing her shoulder.
She jumped back and fired all sorts of beams and balls; I charged forward dodging most but taking a few hits in the process.
I didn't give her a moment to breathe.
Swing.
Swing.
Slash!
Thrust!
She was breathless, but I was just getting started.
"Protect yourselves." I yelled and started releasing a heavy dose of radiation. I guess I was about to make this whole place unlivable for a few centuries.
I hadn't done this before as she was quite protected. But now even her armor was falling apart.
A massive ball of energy came straight for my face, but I sliced it in two and it exploded- burning the crap out of my face to the bone.
But the radiation didn't stop.
And I recovered.
She was about to attack again but- threw up- just plain water?
I kicked her.
The soldiers started moving and they were headed this way.
I had a feeling the girl could just warp back to her place.
So- I just grabbed her. And- "Deal with them, I guess?" I yelled back.
"Are you sure, you aren't just the shadow?" Enira yelled, conjuring up her large five-headed form. Actually- she had nine heads now. She proceeded to blast everything with her multiple fire breath along with purple balls of energy? Her sister also took care of soldiers on the other side.
'Why the hell didn't she transform earlier?'
The girl- covered in snot and puke just grinned. "Well, I guess I lost."
Even now, this was fun to her? "Seriously, the hell is wrong with you?" I cocked my head. "I'm going to destroy your world."
I wanted to gaze at her reaction.
I wanted her to despair.
'No pity… no remorse…'
And I was definitely surprised when she just grinned harder. "Really? I'm sure most'll be glad. Eternal life kind of gets boring after the first few million years you know." She chuckled. "And I'm all alone."
I started crushing. "I believe you."
But that didn't give them the right to play God of destruction and ruin lives.
Crack.
She screamed.
She grabbed my arms… wailed, scratched, tried to kick me, punch me but in the end- CRACK. Tears streamed from her eyes.
I guess at the end of the day, no matter what, everyone wanted to live.
But-
Splash!
I just killed her.
Just like that.
Meanwhile, Enira and the rest finished off the remaining soldiers.
Without their commanders- the soldiers were nothing but cannon fodder.
"Dunno why but felt kind of anticlimactic." Enira dropped near me in her human form.
"Why? You wanted me to be lying in a pool of my blood?" I said, falling flat on the ground, staring at the sky.
"Well, it's not like you haven't done that already." She chuckled
I also kind of chuckled.
But yeah, I didn't expect things to end like this…
'Should I be glad or relived?'
"They'll be on high alert. Even if we go now- they'll just-" Breya came here.
It was over.
A bit too quickly.
The clouds in the sky were going to cover this place in a nuclear winter. And the earth was charred. This place was a barren wasteland now…
"Be expecting us?"
"Yes."
"Well, good for them. But, we're definitely going there to destroy them."
"I don't think we need to," Breya said. "After all, now that you've actually killed one of them- they'll just avoid this place altogether. We can just live in peace-"
I looked back. Not glaring, not quite smiling. "WE'll destroy them. You don't have to come along." She flinched a step back.
Enira sat down on the sand, just near my head- gently pulling my head on her lap. "I know this is sudden but I want a reward. Kiss me!" She bent her head toward me.
Her luscious lips came forth.
Very tempting.
"Once we destroy their world." I held her lips- she still kissed my fingers anyway.
"Actually, if we wait that long, the kiss will compound with interest and you'll have to have sex with me three times." She spoke despite my fingers still stuck to her face.
Oddly cute.
"Not really into incest. You're my grandmother, so act like one." Kind of pained me to say that, actually.
She looked at me with a very dejected glare.
"So, how are you going to get there?" Breya said, crossing her arms.
I still had the girl's- Xeroha's head in my hands. Blood and stuff dripping. So far, she hadn't disappeared.
I looked at Enira who just shrugged.
'Now what?'
I'd just assumed I could use this teleporter or whatever to go there, but this dead girl didn't seem to have anything on her broken body.
She looked like an ordinary girl, now that she was dead.
I didn't feel the least bit bad or sad or pity or anything for her.
"Let's see-" Enira slid her hand into the girl's skull.
Even I felt slightly weirded at the fact.
Eww.
"Got it!" She pulled out a small chip. A transparent chip, the size of a grain. "Now we just need an INterdimentinal Elevator."
I remembered something. Something that these guys talked about in the past. I could access all my memories. But I solely focused on recent things, so I didn't get distracted right now.
"You said something about being able to travel through the ninth dimension using your mother's blood or something? I have that too, right?" I grinned, staring at Breya. "And you could teleport to various places if I'm not wrong."
Breya kind of grimaced. "Why did I ever tell you that?" She sighed. "In theory, we could just bypass the elevator entirely and get there too fast. Too fast for the world, but for us, it'll take years."
I smiled. "But they won't be expecting us for that too fast moment, right?"
Breya half-smiled- half grimaced. "Yeah?" She said, rather carefully. "Let me be clear. This is a big risk. If anything goes wrong, we'll be stuck there for centuries. Our bodies won't age much but our hair- nails and all stuff will go rapidly and it kind of gets hellish… Say goodbye to personal hygiene…"
"Then we know what we're doing." But there was only one answer.
"It'll take years for us! Are you sure, you want to be away from your family till then? You can just ignore the Xenes. Besides, revenge won't get you anything. Years! Years I say!" She definitely didn't want to I guess.
"It's not just about revenge." I stood up and faced her. "Those monsters are going around doing this to every planet they think is worth messing up. Think of how many people suffered like us? Even your world is going through a crisis because of them. And so will million others."
Then again, if their world wasn't attacked, my grandparents would have never come to this place, and wouldn't that have meant, I existed solely because of those guys?
Yeah, I didn't want to think about that.
"So, you're not changing your mind." Enira's sister just stood in front of me, a hair's breadth away.
I didn't say anything but just stared at her red eyes.
"I guess that settles it," Enira said.
Breya sighed, resigning. "Fine…"
