The true meaning of Forgiveness : Third verset : Forgiveness has died in the heart of stone

    I look at myself and notice that I am skewered by a bunch of spears as well as nailed to the wall by the hands. Well, at least they didn''t do a half-assed job, not that it will be able to stop me but I can''t blame them for trying so hard. Nevertheless, this cell sure is dirty, it smells piss and shit so bad that I want to vomit, one of the downsides of having sharp senses I guess. It is also very dark but the little light allows me to see what''s around pretty well, one of the advantages of having sharp senses.


    Looking at my side I can see Julia sleeping on my lap while being chained, I guess they didn''t want to take any risks, she is strong enough to blow up walls with her punch and she''s very aggressive by default so I can understand them. Though I will slaughter them for having done that to her, seeing her wearing the same collar her mothers once wore makes my blood boil.


    |Hey big guy, look over here.|(???)


    I looked at the corner of the room and saw a woman, she must have been in the middle of her twenties, she was covered in filth and covered in wounds. Her long light-purple hair went down to her elbows and curled like an Englishman''s hair, she was looking at me with a haughty gaze and her fierce amber-colored eyes. Even though she''s skinny I guess she was a warrior because her arms are shaped by her muscles. She too was wearing a slave collar. But to be honest it isn''t what is surprising me.


    |An ....angel ?|(Apocalypse)


    |A what ?|(Woman)


    Yes, this woman had two large white wings in her back. This is strange, she doesn''t smell anything else than the scent of Simiry so it doesn''t seem she comes from another world like I do but creatures or even Demi-Humans like that weren''t recorded to exist in all the books I''ve read, also angels are supposed to be asexual so they can''t be male nor female.


    |Tsk, I can''t believe that I, Demierli of Featherblade proud warrior of the winged-people only have an idiotic land-dweller and a stinky slave as my only cellmates.|(Demierli)


    I looked at her again, I can ignore her insulting me but calling MY daughter a slave piss me off.


    |Kneel.|(Apocalypse)


    Since she isn''t chained or anything she can kneel down and ask for forgiveness, I won''t kill her for what she has said but I certainly won''t let it pass. I won''t let some inferior being insult my family, insects must learn their places and that''s all there is to it, they must learn that if they are still alive to that day is because the Vermillion and the Dragons allowed it. She glared back at me and spat at my face, I just breathed out and the saliva flew back to her. This time I put a little bit of my power in my voice.


    |I said kneel, you worm. How dare a bird like you look down on the god of Wrath ?|(Apocalypse)


    The ground shook and she fell to her knees, she had to use her arms not to fall completely. She struggled to lift her head and looked at me with eyes filled with surprise and horror, it was as if she was meeting with the grim reaper face to face.


    |How .... How can you .... still ... use magic with that ... the thing around your neck ?|(Demierli)


    |I said kneel !!|(Apocalypse)


    She fell to the ground because of the pressure. I used this opportunity to check what she was talking about and noticed that I too had a collar around my neck. I just made it explode by pouring too much mana into it, not that it can restrict me it is just very humiliating. Okay now, what do I do ? I had a power up but that doesn''t mean my body is strong enough to withstand me unleashing it so I''ll have to strengthen my body. In theory, it isn''t that hard but I can''t just do it every day, I can''t strengthen something if I haven''t the materials for it. To do it you need to ingest something harder than your muscles in its solid form, or at least something that can make your muscles denser and thus harder. And right now is the perfect time to do it since I have several spears made out of either mithril or orichalcum that fused with my body when my wounds healed without the spears having being taken out.


    |I never thought you''d be able to figure that out by yourself.|(Evan)


    |Shut up Evan, you are the one who told me my body was too weak to withstand my full power so of course, I''d make my body stronger.|(Apocalypse)


    I started meditating and focus on the spears that were stabbed into me, I slowly started to pour my Ki inside them and make all of them enter completely my body. Once it was done I started to use the orichalcum cells to make my muscles, bones and every other part of my body absorb them completely and gain their hardness while conserving their flexibility. It is something that needs sometimes to be done but it is always worth it. Nonetheless, this kingdom is fairly advanced compared to the other countries, even Garmille only has one weapon made of orichalcum but this one seems to have an entire corp of soldiers armed with them.


    After half an hour I had finished and unstabbed my hands from the walls. I clenched my fist to feel my power but just closing my hand sent a shockwave to my face and it isn''t like I used a lot of my power, I''d say it was only 1/100,000,000 of my true power. I wonder how Eali and the other will react to that, it wouldn''t be strange if they feared me, I sure hope they won''t. Iooked at Julia, even at such a young age she looks like her mother. My little Julia, I hope you do realize that your father is no good man.


    I looked back at the woman, she was still flattened on the ground and having trouble breathing, it seems my pressure had increased without me knowing about it. I retracted my aura and she immediately jumped in a corner, looking at me with horrified eyes. Sigh, this is why a sparrow mustn''t anger a hawk, they always regret it afterward. Suddenly a light shone in front of me and another woman appeared of it, of course, I knew her.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    |Oh so you finally show yourself out, Emily, or should I say Drakina ?|(Apocalypse)

    Imperion POV


    I came back to the Stardust mansion with the adventurers who had attacked me and the two women I had found after I had punished those rogues Vermillion. I discovered a power similar to Apocalypse''s roar, or was it called Satan''s roar ? Anyway, I call mine Lucifer''s cage, I create a sub-space where the one trapped inside will suffer for all eternity. There is no use in killing a Vermillion since we aren''t afraid of death so making them live an eternity of suffering is the worst punishment we can offer them.


    Anyway, I was very surprised to see that Apocalypse was missing and the same went for Julia. Lara explained the situation to me and I was pissed off at myself for having been away for such a long time, I know I can''t do anything now, Apocalypse must have exterminated them all by now. I''m more worried about Eali and Jane, worrying isn''t good for the babies health. Today Yualina even asked me about Apocalypse and his sudden attitudes changes.


    |So you want to know more about God-like Apocalypse ?|(Imperion)


    |Yes, I once heard you say it was the scariest one of them all.|(Yualina)


    I sat down and lit a cigarette.


    |Apocalypse has always been an angry man and like the saying goes the two most terrifying things in the world are the anger of a calm man and the calm of an angry man. Well, God-like Apocalypse is the latter. When Apocalypse get the angriest he''ll appear very calm, cold and ruthless. That is when he comes up with things even worse than death, his martial arts forms get so precise it is as if he was a master, his mind and reaction speed get faster


    This "quirk" of his only appeared in games so I don''t know how it will manifest in reality but if it''s the same one as I know, then the one who made him mad would be better off dead.|(Imperion)


    She looked out the window with sad eyes and said in a cold voice.


    |Then I hope this is who he is at the moment.|(Yualina)


    I laughed and a carnivorous smile crept on my face. Ah, this is fun, I think it is good we went to Earth after all Dragons back there are like the Tytans from here, Apostles of sins.

    Apocalypse POV


    |I should have doubted you were her the first time I saw you.|(Apocalypse)


    Drakina smiled lightly and shook her head in a comical way, her blond hair swaying and leaving golden dust in their trails. This is so funny, my own classmates really turned out to be the Dragon goddess, it almost sounds like the beginning of a bad joke.


    |Now now now, Apocalypse, why does every time I follow you you end up getting captured by bad guys ? This is one of you many bad habits young man.|(Drakina)


    |I should be the one who should be asking. Why is the great Dragon goddess chasing a lower divine like me ? I doubt you need a Guardian so badly that you''re ready to babysit poor lil'' me.|(Apocalypse)


    I approached my face to hers and smiled, showing my sharp teeth to her. She giggled and locked her golden eyes with mine, such bright and pure eyes coming from such an old deity, I can understand why the lesser races think of her as the goddess of light and life but I know that this isn''t so simple. A god no matter how good is said to be always has to allow true evil like me to exist and may sometimes ...


    |Fall in love with that evil, is that what you were going to say ?|(Drakina)


    |AHAHAHAHAH, You just keep listening to my inner voices, AHAHAHAH. So tell me, Blondy, what is the answer to that, be quick, I have a business to finish with the owner of this place.|(Apocalypse)


    She leaned near me and bumped her forehead against mine and smiled like a young girl. She took my head between her hands and kissed my forehead before letting go of me. She hovered to Julia and took her in her arms. As she started to fade in a bright light she said.


    |You may murder every living being in this castle but if I were you I''d spare that princess, Julia is quite fond of her. Also, this Emperor and his family smells quite foreign to me, so go and do your job as a Guardian, get rid of what does not belong in this world.|(Drakina)


    I stood up and broke the door of the cells, the two guards that were standing in front of it died with one of my gaze. I kept walking through the corridors, slaughtering everyone I came across, be them, simple servants or guards, divine retribution makes no difference on who you are, you''ll get the same punishment as everyone else no matter who you are and may your next life be luckier. I finally arrived at a big door and burst it opened. I was not surprised to see the Emperor and his family surrounded by guards, what surprised me was that the guards weren''t protecting the Emperor but pointing their weapons at him. Have they rebelled because they fear death way too much ? That isn''t very surprising for Humans.


    When one of the guards finally noticed me he started running away while shouting.


    |The god of death has come !!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE !!|(Guard)


    However, I did not give him the opportunity to run as I threw a fireball the size of a Human head and killed him. I slowly walked to my audience who were frozen in fear, shaking and crying. I killed the remaining soldiers by crushing their heads between my fingers and looked at the Emperor, the one I assume is his wife and his daughter. Both he and his daughter smelled really, really bad I wonder if I was too hot-blooded to notice it last time I saw them.


    My eyes fell on the princess and I grabbed her arm and pulled her to me.


    |NO !!! GIVE ME BACK MY DAUGHTER YOU MONSTER !!!|(Empress)


    I looked at her and put my palm on her face, I could feel her tears dripping down my hand. As a Vermillion, I felt no pity as I said the last words she ever heard in her life as a pitiful Human. Like the god I am, I made divine punishment rain upon her as I extinguished her life.


    |Before calling me a monster think about who of the two of us stands in the heaven and who crawl like a worm in the dirt.|(Apocalypse)


    And I closed my hand, crushing her head. A mixture of blood and brain juice dripping from my fist as I approached the Emperor with the sobbing of the princess in the background. At each step I took forwards he took three backward until he finally met a wall, like the inferior creature that he is afraid of death, trying to escape the end of all thing. I just slowly kept walking towards him as he tried to dig the wall with his nails, painting it red.


    I grabbed his head between my two hands and brought his eyes to mine.


    |YOU DEFIED A GOD AND DARED SULLY HIS FAMILY''S HONOR FOR THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OF A BILLION LIVES !! I, APOCALYPSE SATAN SERAPH AMAEL VERMILLION, THE GOD OF WRATH, CURSE YOU TO LIVE UNTIL THE END OF THIS WORLD WHILE CARRYING THE BURDEN OF ALL THOSE LOST SOULS ON YOUR SHOULDER !!!! YOU SHALL FOREVER BE HUNGRY AS THE FOOD ROT IN YOUR HAND, YOU SHALL FOREVER BE THIRSTY AS EVERY LIQUID THAT TOUCH YOUR LIPS WILL BE POISON !!! YOU SHALL KNOW SICKNESS FOREVER BUT ALWAYS LIVE TO SEE THE SUN RISES !!! YOUR BODY SHALL ROT BUT SHAN''T DIE !! I HEREBY BANISH YOU FROM THE KINGDOM OF THE DEAD !!!|(Apocalypse)


    And I let go of him, leaving him twitching on the ground, waiting for the curse to take place. As for me, I did not wait, I grabbed the princess and walked away, going back to where I belong. Apocalypse Satan Seraph Amael has finished his divine duty of getting rid of the sinners.
