Chapter 675: Reunion 2
Chapter 675: Reunion 2
"What do you mean Athan doesn't want to kill all candidates?" Sirius asked as he narrowed his eyes, "Humph, it doesn't matter whether he continues killing or not! WE have to put an end to him. If not now, then I will do that personally when he arrives at the Orchos Firmament."
"Calm your tits, puppy!!" Dreevindo shouted at Sirius as a vein popped off on his head, "now listen to idiots if you don't want to die."
Everyone became silent and frowned at the outburst of Dreevindo.
"Eh, now it's good," Dreevindo nodded as he suddenly smiled and started speaking, "so the thing is…Athan wanted to devour candidates because they have more power soul origin. From what I know, he only wants to devour two more candidates.
"However, despite knowing this, I still took your sides and helped you prepare this trap," Dreevindo continued with a somber expression, "but we failed! And what's more… the Divine Aurora Lady turned out to be his ally. So…there is no way in Choasverse that we can do anything to Athan now."
Lingardium nodded, "Divine Aurora Lady is invisible…simply because you can't catch her. Even we Orchos Celestials can't sense her once she disappears."
"So…," Dreevindo picked after Lingardium and spoke, "so you all should find a way to satisfy Athan. Otherwise, if he snapped due to this trap, then he might kill more than his initial target."
Dreevindo swept his glance at everyone and continued putting more pressure, "think about it. This was our last chance. Now that Athan is with Divine Aurora Lady, he is practically invisible. We can't trap him again."
All candidates looked at each other as they sweated while the Orchos Celestials were speechless in this situation.
Never have they encountered such a situation during the past cycles.
"I…I have an idea," said the Pixie fairy-looking Orchos Celestial, "I have a way to satisfy that Athan's hunger."
…
On the other hand, Athan had a complicated expression as he looked at Mimi, who was sobbing, and his pets, who were also crying.
"Master, we finally remember your face and some of our memories with you," Lucky spoke as the cute white cat rubbed its head against Athan while sitting on his shoulder.
"Until now, we could only feel your existence, the existence that was our master, and his faint image with foggy memories. But now, those foggy memories are cleared, awuuuu," Lucent spoke as the white tiger rubbed its head at Athan's leg.
Athan looked at the tiny dragon and the silver-white ape floating around him with tears and excitement in their eyes.
"Skylord, Silvestra," Athan muttered before he looked at the centaur-like creature wearing deathly black armor as the black and purple flame burned in the creature's eye sockets, "DeathKnight."
"Master," DeathKnight spoke softly as his flamy eyes burned even brightly.
Lily and Huarin stood a bit far as they looked at their reunion.
Huarin looked at Lily, who had a mix of eager, excited, and nervous expressions on her face. She knew that Lily also wanted to meet Athan and…apologize to him and talk about a lot of things with him if…Athan forgave her on his own accord.
"Sniff…brother Athan," Mimi unburied her head from Athan's chest and looked at him with a sad smile, "brother Athan, you won't leave me again, right? Also, where is sister Tiana and sister Avelia? What about brother Mike and sister Qerin?"
Mimi revealed a sad smile as she spoke, "after father and mother died, only you all, Lucky and others, sister Lily, and sister huarin are my families."
Mimi never knew about the revenge of her parents and kept her in the dark about it till the end because they didn't want their daughter to walk the same path as them.
Athan had mixed feelings as he looked at Mini and sighed.
He had long put together the pieces about Mimi's parent's plans when he heard their voice last time as he drifted into the Genome Realm for the trial.
However, fortune didn't favor him, and he met the only anomaly in the entire genome realm and met his second end there.
"Wait…Lily?" Athan muttered as he looked at two people some distance away from him.
Lily's face turned red as she hurriedly walked towards Athan.
Fiddling with her fingers with a red face filled with nervousness and excitement, she spoke, "A-athan…it's me, Lily. My appearance hasn't changed much…you…you remember me, right?"
On the other hand, Huarin's eyes were gleaming with a white glow as she was ready to make a move in case of the worst-case scenario.
Huarin knew about Lily's past and everything about her first life. She had practically seen Lily's memories as Mimi had shown them to her.
That's why she feared that Athan might have held resentment against Lily. After all, he was tortured and killed because of her.
'However, he must also know that Lily was far more tortured mentally and for many years after that. He should know how Lily spent her life in despair, feeling depressed and guilty about him every day after that. Otherwise, it's not fair,' Huarin thought as she observed Athan's reaction.
"Lily…," Athan muttered as his expression slowly turned to that of a shock, "you…how come you are here?"
"Athan…I, I am sorry," Lily uttered with a lump in her throat as she sat on her knees and started sobbing, "I'm very sorry, Athan. You had to suffer so much because of me and died. I am really sorry, Athan."
Lily cried as she continuously apologized, not even asking for forgiveness as she just kept saying sorry.
She expressed all those years of feeling guilty about his death in this form as she continued to sob and say sorry.
Huarin and Mini turned moist as they both knew about Lily and Athan's first life. Lucky and others also knew, but they hadn't heard about it everything since Lily only told them her good times with Athan and that she was the cause of Athan's death. They didn't know Lily also suffered so much after that.
"Brother Athan, watch this," Mimi said as she stretched her finger and touched Athan's forehead.
Athan watched the life of Lily after his death from the memories that Mimi sent him and looked at Lily with mixed feelings. He didn't know he had taken up the entirety of Lily's life after his death.
As for that torture? Athan felt that it was a child's play compared to what he had gone through after that.
