King of succubus

Chapter 471: The mediator's dark plans. 3

Seeing everyone silent, Alvine continues to travel on the unknown terrain. "Even if you were not in control of these decisions, as the person responsible for the takers of these decisions, it is, therefore, up to you. I was also accused of wrong and through because of the actions of my subordinates, even if sometimes, I completely did not know what they were doing behind my back."

"It is not worth justifying yourself, whether you are ignorant or not, you will always remain the evil embodied." The mediator retorts without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh well? Who decided that? Is it because I have the role of the villain in this story?"

"No, because that is your nature; we have the proof at the very moment we are talking." This time, it was Isolet who took the reins.

"..." Having nothing to add, Alvine was silent, without giving free rein to his true thoughts.

'No chance; it's less tiring to let them imagine what they want. In this universe, the notion of good and evil is interpreted according to the point of view and mores of each person or civilization, so I have no interest in justifying my choices and decisions to them.' He then said to himself before looking at Reha who always gave him a dark look since he had refused her proposal.

"Finally, it doesn't matter. What I mean in short, is that no matter what your efforts, there will be innocent victims; but do not let yourself be fooled by these things, there are not really saints in this world, everything is only a matter of point of view. If you thought like me, this story will not be as disturbing for you."

"Are you insinuating that...-

"Yes, for me, the inconveniences deserve to be deracinated!"

Hearing him make this most unpleasant and unholy announcement, even the mediator had a peak of shock in his mind. 'And to say that I thought it had changed over time.' He mumbled himself while looking at Isolet who threw hostile eyes at Alvine.

'...All these promises to be interesting. Now, you, who have been in love with this feeling of illusory fraternity, what are you going to do?

-Let this demon live and watch him sow chaos, or take a deduction from exterminating him in order to help the universe get rid of this tumor that has been gnawing at it long before time and space?

-Only you can do it; it is only after making your decision that I will know how to act accordingly.' The mediator's eyes shone with malice as his smile gradually turned into an insane smile as he saw the long-awaited results occur before his eyes.

As the mediator predicted the scenario in advance, Isolet is beginning to lose her coolness and seems to have difficulty containing her hostility towards Alvine for the very first time.

"Do you know why I decided to absorb some of your powers?" She asks in a somewhat dark tone.

"How is it important to me?"

"It was to see if you were influenced by darkness." She continues while ignoring Alvine's sarcasm.

This time, even Alvine had suspicions about her. 'This glow in her eyes is not a comedy. It seems that the time has passed for the pretenses.' He concludes while contemplating Isolet's deformed face with a small sneaky smile.

The latter continued without giving him time to answer her. "And even after absorbing a sufficient amount of your powers, I did not have any changes. But in this case, if my powers could not change you, and yours did not have any influence on me, where had it gone wrong for you? That was the question I had asked myself.

-But I was naive; even earlier when I said that it is your nature to be the ungodly guy. In reality, I sincerely hoped that you would refute my words. But instead of being angry, you smiled; who must smile under the effects of such accusations?" She currently looks like a person who emptied her bag of the things she had kept for her.

For a long time silent, Alvine does not say a single sentence.

Just like him, the others were also silent.

Finally, He sighs while slowly raising his hand in front of him while saying a single sentence...

"I didn't have the memories of passing myself off as a saint, dear little sister." He said this while snapping his fingers.

_—!!

The next moment, all those who were with them in the living room faint on the floor and dying instantly; except for the four escorts and the other two people who were on the same table as him.

Isolet's eyes and that of all others lit up with wrath, not understanding the reasons that led him to commit such things.

With a demonic smile going from one ear to the other to the point that his face deforms into that of a demon of the abyss, he channels all the blood of his victims above his left index finger and compresses it into a scarlet red dagger.

"This dagger is weak, but it should be used by Luna to cut a few heads in the future." He enunciates before putting the dagger in his shadow.

This time, when he looked up at Isolet, he saw another woman in front of him.

Certainly, the latter had always the same appearance, but her nature seemed to be quite different after she attended such a scene.

"KHeh, why look at me as you don'know me? However, I am the same as the one you have always called Big Brother. I want to tell you things so that they are clear, and it's true for you too, Chronos." He then looks at Chronos with two black abyssal pupils.

"You can call me as you see fit; but know one thing, it's not my powers that have changed me, but it's the other way around. I love killing, I've always loved this feeling since I saw the light of day.

I am a miser who takes everything he wants without worrying about the means he uses. To achieve my goals, manipulating the feelings of others to make me look like a saint is normal for me.

-Do the same with me, it will only be more fun. And--

"So, you don't intend to change?" Isolates interrupts him with this question.

"Stop with that, please. To change, you have to want it. Frankly, what will push me to change? Do you think I welcomed you out of compassion or pure goodness of heart?"

"..." Isolet's face wrinkles more when she hears Alvine address the issue that seems to be tormenting her.

The latter also notes that he has just touched the sensitive point. "Wait, do you think that's really the case? I understand that you think that before you find your memories, but why do you still think about this bunch of bullshit??"

"...What prompted you to do it? I want to hear you say it." His static voice resonates in the corpse-covered room.

Aside from them, the mediator seems to have decided to let him (Alvine) embrace this flame of hatred to have what he wants more than anything.

"Very well, if you want to know, it's out of greed. At that time, you had something I didn't have, the power of light. This power that I could not obtain regardless of my efforts. I said to myself, oh well, there's a tree branch in front of me. By teaching her well, she could be very useful to me in the future, and who knows, maybe I could make her docile enough to steal her powers.

-And as I predicted, I got what I wanted, now you have nothing useful anymore. A tool that no longer has anything useful must be thrown away; so don't hope for anything from me, especially bullshit like compassion.

-Ah, and one last thing, I'm tired of playing this fraternity game with you; I didn't have family or friends, only tools; tools at my service. If you want to be part of my tools, you are always welcome, otherwise, you will be my prey, a prey that I would tame before transforming it into very obedient tools."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Two minutes, but no one knew how to say anything.

Apart from Isolet and her men, another person seems to be just as touched (negatively) by Alvine's revelations as they are; Shiro.

He had a hard time believing what he had just heard. But the most surprising thing for him was to see his queen act as if she was not disturbed by Alvine's revelations.

Unlike him, Reha knew who Alvine was, so she was indifferent when she saw Alvine take off his mask.

Finally feeling ready to speak, Isolet looks up at the mediator. "Tell us about the course of the war. Where and when will this war have taken place?"

"... Are you sure to proceed this way?" The mediator asks in a hesitant tone.

But Isolat ignores him and looks at Alvine who mixed his whisky in his glass with a smile that exposed his two long fangs.

"You're right; this word is the only one that can define me, naive. After all, to hope to save people, they will have to want it. You can't save a person who doesn't want to be saved."

Alvine stops, feeling targeted by Isolat's words. "Don't delude yourself, you do this not out of duty, but out of the desire for revenge; it is proof that no one is innocent in this world. Kill or be killed; break people if you don't want to be broken by them, that's my golden rule."

"I know, but you're wrong on one point, Alvine; I'm not doing this only out of a desire for revenge, but to end your sadistic reign. The world does not need people like you, I would come out to erase you for good and everything that represents you; I swear it on my existence!"

"...Do as it pleases you; but I also bite, and above all, very, very badly; keep it well in mind."

"..." She decides to ignore Alvine's warnings and waits for the mediator's response.

The latter taps the dining table and makes a holographic screen appear on it.

"Here it is, your hunting ground."

On the hologram, there was a vast universe with multitudes of planets and stars as far as the eye could see.

'Our hunting ground? What's the bullshit this guy still tells?' Alvine and Isolet seem to have the same thoughts when they see this place.

But as if the mediator could read their thoughts through their eyes, he smiled slightly but cruelly before zooming in on one of the planets.

At this moment, Alvine frowns when he sees shadows similar to his shadow soldiers. But he knew that they were not his henchmen, even less from there.

In addition to being slightly greyish, the silhouettes all had skeletal shapes and looked more like beasts than anything else.

Following this brief scene, the mediator begins the main subject. "On each of the planets, there are creatures that you have never seen or faced before. But I'm not going to spoil the suspense for you. All you need to know and that will also be your main mission is to survive."

"To survive? Not to compete?" Isolate asks.

"Huhuh, you're free to confront each other, but I don't think you'll have time to confront each other once on the scene. Isn't this place a holy land? But a prison created by our creators."

-!!

"What? Do you think you're falling from the heavens? All existence has its origins." He laughs when he sees their shock.
