303) The Chaser (202)
“Irene.”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to watch over the kids? I’ll go somewhere for a while.”
“…”
Irene, who was sucking on the ice cream, stared into my eyes. And she nodded her head with her serious face as she promptly pulled her ice cream out of her mouth.
“Leave this to me and go.”
“Thanks.”
Did you feel the determination in my eyes? Irene erased her usual playful childlike expression and nodded her head seriously instead. After stroking Irene’s hair, I immediately headed to the place where I, as her alter ego, fell, using my Bifrost psychic power.
Due to the battle between level 11 psychics, the godfather’s hideout was in ruins. There were torn and crushed corpses everywhere and a stench lingered.
“…”
In the middle of it, I closed my eyes and used the power of chaos.
Sadly, there were no living creatures in this area. Men and women, young and old, good and bad, all died.
‘Thank you for your hard work.’
I gave a short silent prayer in my heart for all the dead, regardless of good or evil. That was the least I could do for the dead.
After a brief mourning, I used the power of chaos again.
Squeak-
Then, the ruined hideout began to return to its original form as if turning back time. All the dead were resurrected, and my alter ego, which eventually disappeared because it could not handle the damage done to the body, was also resurrected. Also, the godfather of the S-class villain, who became the test subject of the New White Killer, was also revived.
Time continued to flow backwards, and not long after, time began to flow again.
A reality full of madness and carnage.
In the midst of it, a man walking out of the hideout in chaos caught my eye.
The New White Killer’s minions kill living creatures at random. But no one touched the man walking away. Rather, when he got close, he first stepped back from him, then knelt down and bowed his head towards him as if in obeisance.
I stood in front of a man
“Now you’re looking like this. New White Killer.”
I talked to the guy.
Then the boy suddenly smiled and opened his mouth.
“Yes. Now I have a face like this. Steel Armor. No, should I call you Dark Knight?”
“…!”
I widened my eyes at the New White Killer answering my words.
“How are you answering me?”
This is the space of time.
In this, I can only observe, and cannot interfere in any way. Because it’s already past.
The new white killer who exists in the past answered my words. Then, a really absurd assumption came into my mind.
“Did you even expect what I would say?”
“It can’t be. How can you anticipate what the other person will say and respond? Isn’t that impossible for you too?”
“… Then it means that it is you who is talking to me right now.”
“It can be said to be precisely my remnants left in the past. Remnants left only for communication.”
“Did you want to talk to me?”
“Yes. Honestly, isn’t it mortifying? You’re the only one using such a nice and convenient ability.”
“You do it if you can, and if you can’t, you can’t. I did it because I had the ability, and you didn’t because I couldn’t. What’s there to be mean about that?”
I smiled and looked at the New White Killer.
‘I can’t feel the soul…’
I tried to check the New White Killer’s soul with the power of chaos, but for some reason I couldn’t see his soul. It was as if a black abyss blocked my power.
He smiled as if he sensed that I was trying to see the spirit.
“It’s useless. Didn’t I tell you? These are remnants left in the past to talk to you. Remnants have no souls.”
“You… You’re really amazing. I really hate you, but I admit that one ability. I have Cthulhu, but how did he acquire his ability?”
“Because I still have a part of him, no, a part of him. It’s so… I’m so afraid of habit. I still instinctively enslave myself when I think of that idiot Cthulhu.”
“I’ve lived as a slave all my life, but I changed my body and soul. Can that change overnight? Habits are scary. Anyway, what did you want to talk about with me, so you left behind these remnants? Let’s move on to the main topic. The conversation is over. I have to go catch you.”
“I will.”
The New White Killer nodded, erasing the smile from his lips.
“Give up on me, Dark Knight.”
“I refuse.”
He immediately refused with a single word. The reason I came to Red Town itself is a bastard. But give up on him? It couldn’t be.
“Even though I’ve done a lot of bad things, I don’t think I’ve got this much of a grudge against you.”
“No, I bought it. You killed my friend.”
“Your friend? Ah… You mean Mikhail.”
“Okay.”
Mikhail Lignes.
He was one of the S-class heroes of Dark City, and he was my one and only friend who did not hesitate to treat me as a villain without prejudice even though he was a hero.
The New White Killer must pay the price for killing Mikhail.
“He tried to kill me. No, he came to me with the determination to die. I only gave him what he wanted. But is it my fault? Are you merciful enough to spare the one who came to kill you?”
“No. If I were you, I would have killed Mikhail.”
“Right? Then…”
“I’ll kill you anyway.”
“…”
The New White Killer frowned at him.
“You’re the bastard who turned Mikhail into a vengeful demon.”
“…”
The reason Mikhail pursued the New White Killer so much was because he brutally murdered Mikhail’s family in front of his eyes. If it hadn’t been for this guy, Mikhail wouldn’t have lived so alone and he wouldn’t have died.
“After all, no matter what I say now, you’re going after me. And if you catch me, you’re going to kill me.”
“Yes. So now I’ll show you mercy for the last time. Appear right now in front of me. Then I’ll kill you so you don’t get sick. By the way, your former master is still suffering and can’t die.”
“That’s a scary word. But you know what I’m going to say, right?”
The New White Killer’s choice was rejection.
“You made a stupid choice. You’ll soon regret it.”
“You and I have many similarities.”
“Me? With you? That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard in my life. To the point where I want to kill you right now.”
“I hate you too. But I do acknowledge your ability. Ah… Is there anything I should admit? You are like a god.”
Certainly he knew me well. It’s not exactly like a god, but a god who lives a human life, but at least he’s the first among all my women to think of me as a god.
“I mean. I really like myths where gods come out. In those places, humans always go through all kinds of hardships and finally defeat the arrogant gods.”
“Are you going to be the main character of that myth?”
“Yes. But that won’t be now. I’ll have to be stronger than I am to kill you.”
“You know that’s about when you can run away from me, right?”
“You can look forward to it. I’ve prepared a lot of things so far to get away from you.”
“Yes. I’m looking forward to it.”
The New White Killer, who existed in the time of memory, began to disappear from his toes, probably thinking of ending the conversation. I looked at the disappearing guy until the end and told him something that came to my mind belatedly.
“By the way… That myth you love… After all, it’s the story of a god. It’s not a human story.”
“Then I’ll be able to kill you and become a god. I’ll do my best, so you should be arrogant and conceited like a god.”
“Ha… You fucking bastard. Anyway, I won’t lose until the end.”
The New White Killer who spoke confidently until the end and disappeared. I looked at the spot where he was standing and laughed.
I don’t know what kind of ability he used, but it seems that the New White Killer is able to hide himself existing in the past time. If that’s the case, tracking through memories can no longer be used on him.
“Tsk. I need to check his soul quickly.”
Tracking through memory is impossible, but there is still a way to track through the soul. The only condition is that I have to see the bastard’s soul.
“Never miss.”
The New White Killer is definitely in Red Town and he hasn’t gotten out of here yet. Then he’s still in the palm of my hand.
“I will definitely kill you.”
I floated into the sky and released the power of chaos, covering all of Red Town and creating a surveillance net.
*****
“… Under.”
The New White Killer opened his eyes and let out a breath. Then, ashes mingled with his breath. It was a side effect of using an unfamiliar ability.
“Certainly, running away from a divine being is not easy.”
However, contrary to what he said, a smile appeared on the New White Killer’s lips. It is also because he saw a new possibility through the meeting just now.
Abandoning body and soul was a huge gamble for the New White Killer.
The body he was about to throw away belonged to a man who was once called the strongest hero in the Dark City, and the soul is an accumulation of hundreds of years of experience, memory, and knowledge.
When you fail, you lose so much, and even if you succeed, you cannot predict what you will gain. It was a high-risk, low-return gamble.
However, the New White Killer managed to gamble with a low success rate. Not only that, but he also discovered new possibilities to resist the Dark Knight, who was nothing short of a divine being.
“It’s just a mixture of the souls of a few insignificant humans, but this level of ability and potential… If you mix better humans… I’m so excited.”
The New White Killer looked at the shadow that wrapped around his body like a cape and smiled. He has the power to make it impossible to track down even the Dark Knight.
If this is the case, if I further develop and evolve my abilities here, killing the Dark Knight won’t be impossible.
Of course, it will take a lot of hard work to get there, but that’s okay. Because he’s a sucker for things like this.
“… That’s all for impressions. Now, let’s move on as planned. Ride.”
As soon as the horse of the New White Killer dropped, the far away Tal began to move. For the New White Killer, the 11th level psychic wasn’t the only godfather.
“Uhhhhh-“
“Huh? Hey there! Stop! This is the territory of the Dae Lee family!”
And the 11th-level psychic, once called Tal, was aiming for this family, the parents’ house of Yuri and Eun-hye.
