Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 270: Are They Fine?
A God In the Flesh.
Pablo addressed himself with that phrase.
His appearance was different, his attitude was different, his face was different, he, altogether, was different.
[[A/n : Art for Pablo]]
The residents didn’t understand it deeply enough but they were hopeful.
Pablo was holding the Demon by his neck after all. That too, with one hand inside his pocket.
But how? What gave Pablo such power?
Only a few individuals knew the answer to that.
And one such individual was Cupid.
She knew Pablo had used a Special Skill given by a God and that God was none other than Altor.
The Skill he used was…
[ Special Skill : A God In The Flesh. Activated! ]
Pablo also received a notification but he ignored it. He already knew what it would say.
He was a full fledged God for fifteen minutes.
And he could only use this Skill once every two years.
This was the strongest Special Skill on his arsenal.
He could have used any other Special Skill but he didn’t take that risk. He would kill the Demon soon enough.
"Kill him!"
"Kill the Demon, Pablo!"
"You can do it!"
The people cheered for Pablo from their homes and Pablo heard them full well.
"I will."
"Is this your Ego, Human?" The Demon asked. He was still in the grip of Pablo.
"It’s my Pride." Pablo replied.
"It doesn’t matter. I will not die."
The Demon smiled and swung his Tether.
SWIRL!
The Demon was free from Pablo’s hold. His neck wasn’t held by Pablo anymore.
The reason for that was…
Pablo’s hand was no more.
The Demon cut Pablo’s hand.
"Now what will you do? It’s just your Ego. You didn’t really become a God."
The Demon was unfazed by Pablo’s transformation. Pablo holding his neck was just a one time fluke for him.
"I won’t waste my words on you."
Pablo’s right hand was severed but no blood came out.
All eyes were on him and they were worried about his hand.
However, the next second, their worries washed away.
Pablo regenerated his right hand.
It was as good as new.
Everyone raised their brows and they just watched silently. Pablo might really pull this off, they all thought.
"Hmm. Not impressed. You have a Vampire’s characteristics inside you. Regeneration is a basic thing."

Pablo took out his own sword.
"Then how about…"
He vanished.
SHRILL!
"This?"
Pablo appeared again and he was just in front of the Demon.
The people only saw Pablo disappearing and appearing.
They didn’t see what took place between that time.
Though, they did hear some noises.
Nevertheless, they didn’t have to wait for too long as they all saw what Pablo did.
THUD!
The Demon was divided in two.
His lower and upper part fell down.
Pablo cut the Demon in half and in less than a second.
Everyone gasped at the scene.
It took so many people to destroy the Demon before but Pablo alone made it possible in a single strike.
Jamal and Hustler looked at each other and Boulder just watched Pablo breaking his expectations.
Tank, the Abyssal Butcher was astonished as well.
The King was the same and all of them wished only one thing, the Death of the Demon.
"I will acknowledge you, Pablo. You are worth a try."
The Demon repaired his body and he was back in full.
"You took more time than me to get back up. You are not even worth trying."
"Don’t take me for an idiot, detective. This form of yours, I am sure you can’t stay like this for a long time. You will die one way or another."
"Cut the chatter. You already took a lot of space in the story."
"What story?"
"Nothing. Let’s just end this."
"Fine by me."
The Demon took a stance. He finally looked like he was taking it seriously.
His sword, Tether, vibrated on his right hand.
Pablo on the other hand was serious from the start. He only had fifteen minutes after all.
So, without wasting any damn time, they both bolted towards each other.
They were both in the air and everyone only saw flashes of them.
Their swords clashed and Pablo’s Demonite sword gave a tough competition to the Demon’s sword.
Clashes of metal resounded in the air and all of them only hoped for Pablo’s victory.
"How did you acquire the power of a God, though?" The Demon asked.
They were both in the sky and Pablo decided to answer the Being.
"They gave me this themselves."
"They? How many Gods did you meet? And how did you even meet them?"
’Should I tell him?’ Pablo had second thoughts.
’No. Don’t tell him. You are not supposed to know more than you need.’ Cupid refused Pablo.
’Heh. Then I definitely need to know about this.’
Pablo made up his mind. He would have let it go but after hearing Cupid’s words, he wanted to know.
Cupid tried to stop Pablo a few more times but she was ignored.
Pablo looked in the Demon’s eyes.
"Actually I am just like you." He said.
"Hmm?" The Demon didn’t get it.
"I am also not from this World. The Gods chose me to restore this shit of a world."
"Oh. I see. Yes. I heard about that. Though, I didn’t know the Gods were still alive."
"Do you know anything that I don’t or shouldn’t know?" Pablo asked the main thing. He just wanted to know that.
"I don’t think so."
"Then there is no need to chat anymore. You are dead."
Pablo stopped flying.
He remained in the air and the Demon also hovered in front of him.
"I can’t die, Human. You don’t even know how to kill me." The Demon was confident.
"Like I said. No need to chat."
Pablo jerked his sword, holding its hilt with both of his hands as he pointed its tip at the Demon.
"I see. But tell me one last thing, were all the Gods fine and well?" The Demon asked.
’Why is he so adamant about Gods?’
Pablo didn’t understand the Demon’s obsession with the Gods but he might as well answer it.
"Yes. They were all fine. All five of them."
"Ahaa. That’s what I was talking about. Hahhah!!" The Demon burst into laughter.
Pablo frowned. "What?"
"Human.." The Demon grinned, showing his sharp fangs to Pablo.
"There are Ten Gods in reality."
