Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

”Why look so confused? Did you really think I let you live? ” Damien said in a mocking tone as he patted Luke ’s cheeks.

He continued, ”I would have let you go only if you had admitted your wrongs and not repeat it again. Because you were all kids with hormonal imbalance issues, it was quite normal to have a fascination for girls. But to think that you wanted to thrash and harass someone just because of that. Who knows, if it even went any further, you wouldn ’t even hesitate to kill that person just to hug Roy ’s thighs. ”

Luke croaked out with wide eyes, ”Y-You are— ”

Damien tightened his grip around his face, ”Shh, don ’t talk and strain yourself. With all these bandages, aren ’t you feeling a little too hot? Keep your mouth shut and get comfortable for the last few minutes of your life.

”This world is truly strange. When I first came here, I was surprised that people kill each other for the most trivial reasons. But then I understood that it was because the more powerful ones need not be afraid of any consequences to crush someone inferior to them. Who would question someone for stepping over an ant? ”

He went on, ”Most of all, forgiveness is a luxury in this world. If you feel being merciful and let someone go, they would only return to bite you back. People like you will repay mercy with sinister deeds instead of gratitude, just like how if I had planned to let you live, one day you might plan some villainous scheme with Roy Clive to hurt Valentina. I can ’t allow that. If there ’s even a 1% chance that you are a threat to her, then I wouldn ’t hesitate to end your measly life. ”

Luke gulped as he tried to move his body frantically, but because of his heavy injuries, he couldn ’t even properly circulate his ethereal energy at all. There wasn ’t even an ounce of strength in his limbs as all his ethereal energy was spent on keeping his body, including his bones, from breaking down.

One could say he was lucky to be still alive.

Damien had inspected his condition the moment he entered the room and knew Luke wouldn ’t be able to fight back even without his cultivation sealed.

”H-Helppp…somebody… ” Luke retched out in despair and fear for his life. He could barely move his limbs to escape from Damien ’s clutches. He only had enough energy to move his mouth and eyes.

Even though he couldn ’t understand why Alchemist Azrael was even talking to him about these things in such a fashion, he knew that he was here because of Valentina.

Damien waved his finger, ”Shhh, don ’t be scared. Didn ’t you hear your mother telling me to end your suffering? Why don ’t you let me do that for you? But however, I just have to spend at least a few minutes in this bedroom. Otherwise, they would find it strange if I came out within just a minute. Don ’t worry. Your parents won ’t think you are dead. In fact, they will shower me with their gratitude though you won ’t be ’alive ’ to see it. ”
