Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 157: Leading millions

Cities, Towns, and villages in every possible direction were puzzled after knowing that Lerinare was destroyed and turned into nothing but ash. They all believed it as a calamity that may very well fall on their cities. 

Several racial people exempting humans cheered on the mysterious person that had destroyed the tyrannical ruling party. The Zerast's influence was widely spread around the continent and they were known for their malicious deeds.

They've destroyed and the other racial people that dwell on Chaos mainland. They plundered lands and created branches and spread their influence grabbed authority plunged the weak and drowned by richness.

Money, women, power, and fame were literally drowning in it. And such a clan was destroyed by an unknown organization. Zerast had several enemies so, they couldn't point out who it was. 

The most outlandish thing was the whole city was destroyed by a bomb that no one in Empyrean had ever witnessed or invented. Many of them wanted to grab such power. Rumors began to spread like a wildfire about Theemai which was an isolated place and the only neighboring town whose information is not revealed much to the other cities. They just saw it as a useless town but this piqued their interest. 

Major cities had sanctioned missions to Knights, Devils, angels, Outsiders, and Crusaders to investigate the town to truly pioneer whoever destroyed the city. As a result, the town was heavily infected by strangers.

It may be highly secured but that doesn't mean it can be impenetrable.

Some of the members in Transgressors and the town folk had also revealed the fact it was Nix who did it. In fact, Nix knew this was bound to happen. He cared less about it, considering the war of Chaos that will begin soon.

Somewhere deep inside his heart, he knew that he'll have to choose a faction. There was greater evil and lesser evil that was all it is for him to choose and upon choosing a direction his perception and path might change.

"Your saying that but, then how are you even gods? Firstly how can you not send us back? If you use the same summoning spell in reverse it might work, right?"

He questioned angrily disregarding the fact that she was a goddess.

" "

He just gritted his teeth and waited for her to talk.

What the goddess said might be true or might not be true, But at that very moment his hope was shattered and his goals were altered.

He had two goals one was to enact vengeance on Feroz khan and his members. Which he was unable to do because of the mayhem that befell because of the future sights he saw. He wanted to torture each and every one of them but, his future visions showed him getting utterly defeated. 

So, to at least grab onto his life and survive he had no choice but to drive Feroz khan and Nate to a corner.  He also knew he cannot go toe to toe against them who were demigods since he couldn't fight even the knight of Ferandel. His goals were faded away like smoke by time. At this point, he did not know why he even existed.

He had been enduring those pent-up feelings all this time. Just the fact he couldn't enact revenge made him feel frustrates. He tried to endure his rage and was successful if one were to look up his attitude in the recent days.

He was cold and composed the driving force of it was his visions which gave him hint about how his rage might lead him to misery but out of this fact. He couldn't accept the fact his desire to go back was shattered.

'So does this mean. I cannot meet my one of hell of a Drunkard father and my suffering mother?'

He thought inwardly as slowly tears ran down his chin.

He had never revealed his life on earth to Cinzia nor any of the others. 

"If you are not going to send us back why did you summon us? You are gods, who have influence all around this world. Then why us? Human from a world who are different from this world's reality?"

Primeval cosmo is the place called no path. As it has already predefined, it is a place of primordial creation that chooses the fate and destiny of a soul. The gods ascended to Empyrean stirred the power of creation and destroyed the balance which resulted in the restriction called the law of conservation.

A primeval cosmo is a certain place that protects the souls from destruction by nature every soul is born and nurture on its own according to its will. In that sense, one could say Primeval cosmo possesses a will although it is certainly not a livingthing.

Since the gods intertwined with it and manipulated nature. The Primeval cosmo instinctual opened rifts to maintain balance and control the exploitation of souls.

This was nothing but a natural calamity that worked on its own just like how earthquakes or tsunami might work. It was like a reaction to the phenomenon that a big corporate company would do in order to raise humanity's existence by their scientific research on earth.

The main thing is Nix couldn't believe her words. From what he read from the Ways of Empyrean. It was a secret that wouldn't be easily revealed since it could stir a rebellion of Outsiders.

"Isn't there a way for us to go back?"

"How does the Materiality work? Can you not try once again?"

He asked with frustration.

"I see..."

He replied wearing his cold expression once again.

"What should I do now and why am I dragged into this mayhem?"

He couldn't help but ask question after question since she was ready to answer him regardless if he could believe her or not.

The goddess said nonchalantly and tapped the floor.

Swiftly a screen opened up.

A scene began to play as Nix laid his eyes on it. The angels looked at the scene with a bewildered expression.

A white-haired man whose eyes were covered with a red cloth was soaring through the air riding a mythical beast, Dark Pegasus. Which is known as the symbol of destruction and known for its arrogance was ridden by a young man who was leading millions of soldiers with a head of a man in his hand towards a black floating castle. Behind him was the Goddess of wisdom riding her white pegasus,  and a few more unrecognizable people.

It was an extremely short scene and closed on its own.

"I can see that... But why am I doing that?" He questioned her.

She smiled at him and tapped the floor once again.

This time he was in bloodied Warfield panting heavily sitting amidst a few unrecognizable corpses and there was even Heredia's head lying down separately. Opposite him stood Shigon gazing at him with a fierce expression in between them stood Nagendra.

Nix was not able to understand how those happened but, he was bewildered too because Nagendra stood in front of him with a sword struck to his heart. 

Swiftly the screen closed.

'Then why didn't they kill me?'

He thought and waited for her to speak.

She said with a smile.
