Chapter 970 Freed
[What do you think you're doing?!] The Cosmos Queen Beast thundered.
She opened her massive eyes and stared at Michael, who regarded her calmly.
[I am trying to help you, so calm down. I know what they have done to you and can solve it. They didn't alter your mind, did they?]
[You can help? Yes…they didn't change anything about my brain. My mind is as clear as ever.]
Michael nodded slowly. He perceived the changes within the Cosmos Queen Beast, but he wasn't 100% certain if the Queen Beast's mind had been affected. Given the Cosmos Queen Beast's age, he would have to use Mind Watcher to study her mind for over a month, maybe years. That wasn't feasible. They needed a faster solution.
Fortunately, the Cosmos Queen Beast didn't seem fond of the Supreme Human Alliance. That was a big enough indicator to say that the SHA didn't alter the Comps Queen Beast's mind. Of course, he could be mistaken, but with the beast's help, Michael had a rather easy time solving most of their problems. [The Supreme Human Alliance used a method and resource called Blood Incursion. However, since you are a beast, they had to use a different version. At least, that's what I think. It makes everything much easier for me, to be honest. I can solve your problems.]
The Cosmos Queen Beast's eyes lingered on Michael for a while.
[What do you want from me?]
Michael frowned.
[Didn't I already say what I want? I hope you can attack the Supreme Human Alliance and ignore the Altors Union. Since you must be in control of the Cosmos Beasts, you should have no problem commanding them. And you dislike the Supreme Human Alliance for enslaving you. Don't you want revenge?]
The Cosmos Queen Beast didn't say anything for a while. She considered whether she should exchange one devil for another by accepting Michael's help. He could understand that point of view. However, if he was in the Cosmos Queen Beast's situation, he would instantly accept the offer to take revenge on the SHA. The SHA enslaved her since birth. No matter how bad the devil replacing the SHA would be, it couldn't be as bad as being enslaved for hundreds of years. The Supreme Human Alliance was worse than any other devil. The Cosmos Queen Beast came to the same conclusion.
[If you can help me regain freedom, I will also help you. That is only fair. I do wish for vengeance, too.]
That was the best possible solution. He wouldn't have to become a bad guy for attacking the Cosmos Queen Beast and might as well be able to turn her into a trusted ally. With that in mind, Michael started to work. [Don't reject my powers. No matter what happens, you have to endure it.] Michael announced before using Extraction and Insert simultaneously. Since they didn't have much time and the souls of monsters couldn't be filled with powerful Soultrait Symbols, Michael had to flood the Cosmos Queen Beast with SoulStar Fragments while simultaneously cutting out the spots of Blood Incursion. Michael's moves had to be deadly precise, allowing him to cut out the spots while filling the gaps. It was difficult, close to impossible, without inflicting horrifying pain on the patient, but Michael didn't have to pay much heed to the Cosmos Queen Beast's pain. The Cosmos Queen Beast was a Demi. She could endure some pain.
Time passed eerily slowly for the Cosmos Queen Beast. The Cosmos Beasts, connected to their Almighty Mother, sensed and shared her pain, putting them through tremendous pain, but Michael paid little attention. The children tried attacking Michael once, but Jormungandr's hues were strong enough – with enough substance – to repel the Cosmos Beasts and hit them barely strong enough to keep them at bay. They tried attacking again, but the slaps on their wrists intensified the second time. Some were knocked out right away, while others started bleeding from several spots.
Still, it wasn't until the Cosmos Queen Beast ordered them to stop before they stopped.
The Cosmos Queen Beast was still in pain, but she could sense the changes in her soul as Michael worked on her. He put effort, time, and resources into fixing the Cosmos Queen Beast's condition and didn't hurt her even though he had the means to do so. If he'd wanted to, he could force himself into her mind and soul and suppress her. He couldn't go against Blood Incursion's influence while it was still within the Cosmos Queen Beast, but it was possible to work against it now that most of its influence was no longer there.
But Michael didn't do that. He didn't even think about doing something like that. Instead, Michael was more focused on helping the Cosmos Queen Beast quickly. He was unsure how much time had passed, but Michael was satisfied with the result once he was done.
[How do you feel?]
[Probably like someone tore and twisted my soul, cutting out a few pieces and forcing raw bits and pieces of souls into me. I feel different, yet like nothing has changed. Does that satisfy your curiosity?]
Michael shrugged.
[So, you are fine. That's good to know.]
[Yes, I am fine. Finally, I'm free! Vengeance is on the way.]
That was good to know. It would have been a little problematic if the Cosmos Queen Beast had changed her mind after gaining freedom. Well, Michael would have had to resort to violence then. It was good that he didn't have to.
[When will you start attacking the Supreme Human Alliance?] Michael asked, but the Cosmos Queen Beast laughed.
[I already did. The instant I regained full control of my soul, I commanded the Cosmos Beasts. The first has already attacked the Hyuman settlements.]
Michael smiled from one ear to the other. That was even better than expected.
[Have fun with your new luxurious snack. I hope Hyumans taste better to the Cosmos Beasts than the Altors Union's members.]
