Villain's POV: A Monster's Odyssey-Chapter 34: IWillMakeYouBelieveInGod

With all her power, she thrashed one last time.

And surprisingly, she heard a scream. Dumbfoundedly, she looked at the victim of the sound, only to find he was the man that had pinned her back earlier. He was now suffering from a burn that was so severe his hands were... melting?

What?

Ignoring everything around her, she sprinted towards the glass.

If she had looked around, she would have realized that the room was ablaze by a green fire. The fire melted everything upon touch, not even leaving the floor.

Amidst this sea of fire was Quana, who was set ablaze, but instead of feeling pain, she even felt the arm that was broken earlier healing.

This confused her but she decided to think later about her weird power and the sound in her voice after saving Yuuta.

However...

The moment she was about to touch the glass, she heard a heart-wretching, heaven piercing scream and stood frozen, with her blood running cold.

Never had she heard something so painful.

It was as if...

He was burning in hell.

Looking down the glass with a blank gaze, she saw something that made her eyes widen and instead of normal tears, tears of black blood ran down.

"Y... uuta?"

Because standing down, Yuuta had broken free from the clutches of the chair somehow.

But...

He didn't have eyes.

Only empty sockets looking up to her. More accurately, his eyes were in his hands.

Red blood slipped down the hollow caves of his eyes.

He had plucked them out.

He slowly smiled and suddenly stuck two fingers in his ears, deafening them forever.

But instead of pain, he only smiled.

"Thats better"

He slowly raised his hand towards his neck....

"No!"

Melting the glass, the mystical and beautiful art canva of a woman set ablaze with green flames reaching out to a young man without eyes was printed the image in the mind of billions of peoples worldwide.

But it was too late.

---------------------------------------

The moment he was about to be executed.

The world stopped.

The air froze.

Time stopped. Everything was suspended.

A falling tear from Quana hung midair like a glass bead.

The red light on the wall paused mid-flicker.

Yuuta blinked.

'What happened?'

He looked around. Everyone was still. Not unconscious. Not dead.

Frozen.

Yuuta blinked over and over in disbelief.

But there was no color shift. No magical particles. No sci-fi humming.

It was still the same sterile white room.

Still him.

Except—

Alfred's eyes moved, which made shivers run Yuuta's spine.

Something is off. Could this be a prank? No, no, this is too realistic to be a prank.

At this moment, Yuuta started to shiver uncouniously. Something was really wrong. What the fuck is happening?

"H... ello?" For the first time, Yuuta felt timid when he spoke. His mind was calculating and trying to find what could've happened without any result.

Did... time really stop? In the novels he read, he remembered that when time stopped, everything turned grey.

So why... was everything the same color? Why did the man's eyes up there look at me?

No, how?

The man's eyes, lifeless, snapped toward Yuuta.

"You are not ready."

Then he froze again.

One of the guard's eyes twitched. Her lips opened.

What came out was a feminine sound--- her sound. But what came out wasn't hers.

"You did it wrong."

Another voice, this time from the woman who had earlier pleaded for his death:

She spoke on a different frequency with her lips twitching violently.

However, what horrified Yuuta wasn't the sound.

It was that she spoke backwards

".eveileb uoy ekam lliw I .doG ni eveileb t'noD uoY"

The woman repeated it.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

Quadrice.

Another voice came.

It wasn't the man's, it was the woman's.

But... there was only one of the same woman. So how?

With his heart rate increasing, Yuuta looked around at the source of the voice.

Yuuta's breath caught.

This wasn't guilt.

This wasn't justice.

This was something he didn't deserve.

Another same voice came form somewehere else, not in sync.

Another of the same.

And another.

Another.

Another.

Another.

Overlapping.

His vision changed.

He saw it. The place. It was scary. Really scary.

His head flew from his body.

No, he got crushed.

No, he melted.

No, he--

No?

What am I thinking?

Badump.

What is this feeling?

What is this cold feeling on my heart?

Why is my heart frozen?

No, what is the concept, frozen?

No, what is this thing called concept?

No, who am I?

No, what is the meaning of who?

But what is the meaning of meaning?

WhatistheparadoxicalmeaningofmeaningthatIdontunderstand?

A grip.

A cold, Invisible grip.

Cold fingers curled around his heart.

He gasped. Eyes wide.

Badump.

Its tightening.

It hurts.

Its hurts so much.

Am I going to die?

Is this death?

Cold sweat mixed with tears ran down his face.

Was this what he thought was fun?

Was this... called fear?

For the first time in his life, Yuuta felt fear.

0.01 seconds.

But it was enough.

Hallways that stretched forever. Voiceless things crawling backwards through time.

His own rotting corpse, eyes stitched open, whispering something he couldn't hear. A sky made out of hundreds of colors with a ship flying. When he tries to look at the sky, he is forced to look down.

A mirror with no reflection. And behind it—

Was his face.

However it was different?

"You are the eighth-th-th-th-th-th"

The voice glitched and the voice of Nelson came out, speaking.

"Chose-se-se-se-sen-n"

Nelson's face glitched all kinds of colors, twisted and turned as if a bug in a broken program.

Woah.

How colorful.

Colorful like butterflies.

Like grass.

Like blue.

Red.

Green.

Black.

Yellow.

And mostly--

White.

The grass, trees, and hills. Infinity is funny. Why is the sand grey? Why is the ocean grey. What are those houses. Why are there alot?

Whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy?

yhwyhwyhwyhwyhwyhwywh?

Why is it so funny?

Haha.

I feel it.

It is close.

Oh, what pretty eyes I have. Maybe I should just take them off to look at them better.

Yuuta slowly raised his fingers that were freed somehow and time resumed.

The entity disappeared.

Unbeknownst to him, a upside down black broken heart tattoo appeared at his nape.

SPLURT!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!"

Oops, I forgot I can't see without eyes.

Why is my sound so ugly? Maybe I should take my ears too?

Sure.

SPOOF!

My hand is so warm. Ah, how wonderful?

I feel something. It feels familiar.

Wait, what was familiar again?

I forgot.

Bah, who cares.

Let us say bye-bye.

"Bye-bye, I am not sorry"

Hm? What is sorry?

Why did I say that?

Well, then bye-bye. Lets see the colors together next time.

CRACK

Yuuta broke his own neck

-------------------------------------------

She held his corpse that was smiling to the end.

Quana's empty gaze slowly caressed the young man on the ground, with the tears of blood flowing down her eyes.

[The host has met the requirements]

[World Evolution will start]

[The New World will initiate!]

[....]

[Mana injection into GH-16 from higher authorities will commence..]

[Congratulations host! You have successfully unlocked the title: First Mana Inheritor. You will be rewarded accordingly. Calculating reward...]

The world trembled, but she paid it not heed.

She leaned down and kissed the young man's forehead.

She vowed

"I swear"

"I will take revenge for you."

"I will bring you back, no matter what it costs, so please rest."

With her cold eyes that held nothing inside them, she slowly raised her body and looked emotionlessly at the cause of the trouble at the upper section of the glass.

She wasn't the only one who thought this.

Eliza who had watched the livestream was crying in her room, and had awakened a 'system' as well.

[Reward has been decided! You have been awarded with the weapon 'Bloodletter' based on hosts current mood! Race has been changed --> Vampire Countess. Would you like to commence evolution? [Y] / [N] ]

Using her mind, she quickly figured out how to click on the thing she assumed was a 'system' she once had heard from her younger sister Ekidna once in novels.

[Host now has 8 empty slots. Would you like to summon Bloodletter?]

Nodding her head in response, an ominous looking rapier with a blood-red blade appeared in her hands.

Paying no heed to the fear of the gazes on her, she launched herself to the broken glass and walked inside.

"Please don't kill me! I have children-"

"Aaaaaah, I don't want to die!"

"No, no, no, no, mercy, I have to liv..."

Showing no mercy, she slaughtered everyone in the room. Alfred and Nelson were no exception. Slaughtered like pigs.

[~Host, good job! You have now met the hidden conditions to awaken your bloodline! [Y] / [N]]

Quana sighed out, and clenched her bloody hands that held the rapier.

Destroying the ceiling she gazed at the full moon in the sky.

".... What a lonely moon..."

Later on, Quana would get the title "The Velvet Guillotine", being known for her evil, violent, and short temper.

But that is a story for another day.

CRACK

Reality fragmented where the boy was once for a moment before going back to normal.
