Reed finishes his diary as he copes with understanding the kind of history he had started " So I wasn't just good I had connections with a someone like the parent of the fae ? ... Very well then I'll have to help one way or another "
" Really ? " " Yes I'd rather not sit around when my friend is in trouble " Reed looks at the book " May I keep this ? " " Sure you are technically the founder so I'm sure you have a lot of rights to the Count family's property "
" I'm sure I can't exactly claim rights to the marked cities if I had asked " " Well I didn't lie " shrugging their shoulders as they checked on Moirai while Reed left walking to the living energy he was researching .
' No wonder this feels so familiar ' " Is this one of your missing parts Friend ? " Reed couldn't tell if they were nearby as he sighed " Oh well I'll leave it here for you " Reed prepared to secure them as his descendants and family looked at their founder feeling so distant from him .
This might be because he had a secret that no one would be able to understand even though he was the first to depart from the living and meet his engaged partner who was just someone who benefited from his influence in heaven .
They would naturally feel distant not because they knew death doesn't put them apart but because of Reed's secret , however , because he had no memory of it he grew more distant from his descendants as time passed due to his loss of memory .
Everyone never suspected a thing thinking it might be because Reed welcomed death without fear or never had any real feelings with his family other than wishing prosperity for it .
And now Reed understands completely why no matter how much greater each Count was compared to him , he would not look at them in the eye with true genuine pride for their works .
' I wonder if Karma would be the only family I'll actually be proud because he had my diary and understood me '
...
Isir looks at Moirai as he writes with a laptop to talk " Yes I know Reed seems lonely but your dad was the same you know ? " Moirai gave a confused look as he remembered Karma always having fun together with Isir .
" Karma lived alone , he was born knowing everyone he would love would die so he didn't love anyone , that's why he didn't fall for any seduction from both sides of the team " " ? " " I mean a girl and a guy ? "
Moirai nodded at the answer he was given about both sides of the team " Learning about heaven and hell is probably a blessing for him " Isir looks at Moirai as he writes .
" After all of this ? ... we probably could take a vacation but we both have an unhealthy obsession with productivity , This is probably thanks to how we like doing what we do , I really like making things but not finishing some games even Karma doesn't think playing a game isn't fun unless you get something maybe like character development , joy in interacting with a story "
They think of why Karma never invested in boring games that are very straightforward and don't allow player interaction " But if the stories are really good he would play through the game "
Moirai wonders what kind of games he could play as he searches for some and sees a game before Isir guides him to somewhere else .
" No even if you know more than an adult you are still young in very many aspects let's just get you a game with a really good story , I guarantee that this has good graphics so you can relate to it more "
Isir looks at the game remembering how Karma had enjoyed talking about it .
" You have no control over the story but it's really fun , millions of people play the same game they know the story face to face and it's free to download " " Except for the pay-to-win part " Karma didn't care about that part since he was just playing the game .
" It's a lot like reading a story but you only get to witness it , if you play the game yourself " Isir realizes it's like how Karma took control of the player to progress the game as he is now taking the role of the antichrist pushing forward Revelation's progress .
' It is the real world you get more than a few choices , it's more like the Dark Souls game rather than that ' Isir wonders when they will see Karma again as they watch the fae training everyday .
...
Karma smiles as he hears the trumpet quickly dispatching all his troops again " Okay guys I know you all got obliterated during the last attack but I am seriously counting on you guys to defend the city from the locust "
Karma said casually trying to lighten the serious mood they were all having ' It's not bad that they are getting ready to fight after losing miserably to the angels but these are insects they may be uglier than angels but are not any stronger '
He sees how strong they are as they fight off the locust remembering the time Metatron dealt a fatal attack he miraculously survived ' I'm surprised I survived that but is it because of my blood again it does keep my soul heavily attached to it , although I won't test it myself I have a kid who has the same thing as me so I'll try '
Karma goes to a proper location as he raises his hands and stabs his heart coughing up blood " ow " he feels nothing much from it other than the blade he made that was absorbing itself into his soul ' that was unsuccessful ' he heals the damage .
' I thought something strange would happen ' he tries to see what he can do with it as he checks the number of giant locusts ' I wonder how the fools are doing maybe I should just take the country and leave a power vacuum '
He looks at the sevenfold payback he got from Cain and decides one more precaution ' Let's do it then ' Suddenly a number six appears on the forehead of every marked person as they all realize they no longer have hope in changing sides .
Karma appears to see the fools being tortured by the locust as their guards had abandoned them upon receiving the seal of god " I did predict that you guys would be like this it's the perfect role you get "
Nobody could talk from the excruciating pain as Karma teleports them all to a laboratory for experimentation " I'll leave these to you Jane " ' What is the point of getting to know more about these ? '
Jane has no complaints about why Karma puts her to work on angel blood , locust and wormwood as he leaves the lab and checks on heaven using the little virtue he created .
' Hmm, the seven angels are still recovering and putting in as much effort to time their recovery to the fifth month . '
He guessed who the four horsemen would be as he saw Cain with wings figuring his role as he was handed the weapon famine and spots Solomon being handed the ring " Ohhh so that should mean that Uriel will carry war and Azrael will be death . "
He looks forward to the sixth trumpet as he prepares the weapons he'll use to fight he holds an arrow and turns his ring into a bow " Well how about that ? " he faces Solomon who has his ring " King solomon , receiver of wisdom by god and hate from the demons and pagans "
" Please return the arrows of plague to me that is not something of yours " " Then you should've kept it somewhere safer and written your name on it " the wise king couldn't see through what Karma was thinking or what ulterior motive he has .
" Just give me the arrows Count " Karma sighs " I bought the entire South Pole and made sure that global warming doesn't cause these arrows to be released so where is my compensation ? The angels gifted me a lot of things , I even safely kept the ring for you but I only got gifts for the return of the ark of covenant "
Solomon sighs as he says " I will give you my wisdom to thank you for the ring and the return of the arrows of pestilence that I made " Karma smiles as Solomon gives Karma his wisdom no longer needed because god was going to rule soon .
" Thank you Solomon " Solomon left as he couldn't tell the value of his deal anymore as Karma smiled taking in the god-given wisdom . Solomon didn't understand why Karma would want more knowledge as he looked at the arrow thinking back to his thought process when he came to Karma .
' I have been given the ring by Metatron , now I have to think of what I can do to get back the arrows of plague it will be disastrous if they harm the angels , The count's research on wormwood might be used to find a way to improve everyone's body to develop resistance against pestilience '
He looks at his ring recalling how he had used his wisdom and wing to gather all the illness of the world to somewhere to be sealed ' He will most likely ask for compensation , he might ask for the wisdom he did the same thing to the three beast '
Solomon couldn't find a reason for Karma to seek more wisdom than he already has ' Even if he gets my wisdom it won't amount to much compared to the great wisdom of the three beasts the cost and value of Pestilence is great but if I can give him the wisdom god has given me in exchange I can lower his forces '
Solomon leaves as Karma watches his wings fly him up to heaven as he guesses that Solomon didn't know everything " He did receive wisdom from a time when I wasn't alive so he will never know the secret the Count has to success "
He goes to the mansion working , waiting for the five months to end preparing a lot for his army to fight the army of the sixth trumpet " Young master you have a visitor " Karma was curious who would visit him now as he greets his guest .
" Oh , it's you " " I need to tell you what's happening in heaven right now " They move to a room they both take a seat and Cain says " I became the horseman of famine Metatron wants me to take the role " " So are you here to apologize ? Get it over with our deal ended when I sent you to heaven "
" That's not what I am here for , you are being set as a target while the armies will fight the cities the four heralds will fight you " " I expected that much I'm not that stupid , after the several stunts I pulled like giving the angels hell , taking the virtues and destroying the virtue of faith , putting the angels in a sick leave and then making a copy of Abaddon "
Cain looks up with shock " That angel was a fake " Karma smiles " Yeah I made some improvements to him by making his wings black , looks like nobody knows who that angel masquerade is " Cain wonders if Isir is still around .
" But is that all you are talking about ? " " No there are other things I found out , First off famine was incomplete " Cain takes out the scales of each plate with a symbol to signify value " The coins and some corns "
" This is the other version " Karma sees a cow on the other plate guessing what this is about " I found that it was supposed to be for Abel " " Nice information , Not so gentle reminder I'm not your therapist so don't complain how you were the one who was punished "
Cain turns to him a little irritated " I'm not that soft " " Yeah who cares now tell me more if you got others to talk about " " I'm just here to tell you about whatever piece you might be missing " " Thanks then "
' Although I already completed it myself it's nice to have it confirmed by Cain ' " But I need to tell you something too there is no son of god in heaven " " Yes because the holy trinity is just one person getting to heaven now "
" There is a lamb up there " " Oh you mean that lamb I did hear that the goat and lamb were like angels and demons because of some story " " Alright then I'll be leaving now "
Cain turns his back as Karma looks at the table where he made the two scales appear and creates the copy ' Looks like I'll have to take care of the possibilities in fighting all four at once '
He thinks of his situation ' It's like I usually do I'm doing all this alone ' " Young master you have some mail for you " Karma collects the letters laying them on the coffee table as he grabs one that catches his eyes .
" Maybe I'm not alone right now " He opens the letter to see the contents " A hard drive disk ... so should I plug it somewhere ? " he looks through the notes finding where it has to go as he appears in a server room .
' This place is more amazing than I thought it connects to the heaven and hell server but why this place ? ' he uploads the data in the hard drive as he smiles looking at the information " These are valuable information "
He brings in Risana's final product to get the data Isir sent him .
...
" Did it arrive ? " Asmodeus asked Isir " Yeah it did thanks for helping " " It was only natural you got more access to information so you are free to use it but to think you use it that way " " I'm just helping him in the way I always do , provide information for him to use "
" You gave him a copy of the entire libraries we have , that isn't "provide information" anymore that is surrendering a country's top secret files " " Oh you know we are family so it doesn't matter "
" Power shouldn't be given to people we aren't familiar with " " Power should stay with people who can use it responsibly " Isir argued back " Oh dear " " Don't worry dear family I can guarantee you that you will not regret it "
Asmodeus thinks of the files that Isir keeps giving them every meeting continuing valuable information " I know it's not yet until the next meeting but I'm surprised that Solomon went to hell "
" Is it because of the part where he was told by god to give in to his wives ? " " Yep he even cooperated with helping us great the lesser key " " That's no surprise Abaddon was faithful to god or that's what god made him to be "
Asmodeus looks at Abaddon who is babysitting Moirai " But that's " " It's okay Karma made a deal with him to create a copy for god's plans to be used on him " Asmodeus wonders about the copy Karma made .
" And what are his other ulterior motives with the copy ? " Isir smiles guessing it " I don't know but it does have something to do with creating a traitor in heaven " " Got any guesses on what he wants to gain ? "
" I'm not sure but I do know he needs a few things in heaven that he can't get like materials , he did get some angel blood and sinner blood researched " Isir said " I don't know why he would want that researched he even did the same to the locust don't know why ? "
" Oh no he just needed a place to contain it , he made a deal with those tops for not dying , he was probably going to take those tops to hell so that the sinners can torture them however they like "
" That sounds so illogical couldn't Karma have taken over the country instead of leaving a power vacuum ? " " That is possible but he doesn't need that much , he's not that greedy plus taking care of a damaged country is completely useless "
Asmodeus thinks of the other possible benefits of the country " What about gratitude ? " " Leaving the power vacuum is good enough the people will know who was the one who got rid of their corrupted government "
" So he's just benefitting from getting rid of them ? " " Yeah but you know people will learn that the seal of god on their heads was related to the god from a foreign religion that doesn't put their leader on the pedestal "
Asmodeus thinks of the sin that Bael used to have " Do you think Karma intentionally destroyed faith for a reason ? " " Yeah he might've he does need the mark of the beast , it was said to be used to purchase things so he had initially planned other alternatives but maybe the six in both eyes are meant to represent the sin of humanity in the left and virtues on the right "
" It sounds a lot like the sheep and goat story " " Of course , it does after all Karma plans to use the scapegoat to represent the sins of humanity " " But how would he get the sins ? " Asmodeus asked .
Isir thinks of how Karma does it " Blame , Karma was the one who made all those luxurious things , just like how gratitude is used to give one's merit to another without change , Blame is kinda the same way "
" So the people blame him for the luxury they have ? " Asmodeus was very confused about how one can be blamed " Not entirely blame more like a credit to his work , everyone associates Karma with luxuries so it just makes sense for them to blame him for making it easier to sin , even if it's proof to his hard work and charity "
" Sounds complicated , he gets both blame and gratitude its weird how some opposites can be active at the same time " " You mean like love and hate ? " Asmodeus looks at Isir thinking of their relationship with Karma .
" Do you also hate and love him ? " " Obviously I don't like how he is focused on revelation instead of family but I can't blame him for that because it just makes sense in a logical position and because of our previous employee-employer relationship I have been at the computer being productive as a hobby , I enjoy entertaining myself without anyone's company the same goes for Karma "
" I have no idea how people can love with hate " Asmodeus said " Isn't that why all your sin is about is lust ? " " I'm embarrassed that was all I can amount to " Isir pats Asmodeus on the back " Don't worry you can always do better "
...
The sixth trumpet is blown as Karma sits on a place where he hears the wings of an angel descending down " Solomon , Cain , Uriel and Azrael how nice " He didn't turn to them as he stood up .
" Let me ask you is there a problem that I am bringing up the mark of the beast a little early or did I misinterpret the bible because it was vaguely written by god and constantly translated " " Count please surrender the anti christ role to Lucifer as god has intended "
Azrael says " So that's your other reason to fight me ? I did create the dragon but that dragon should be the devil and then the beast of the sea and then the beast of the land , you know all of that is quite complicated "
He looks at the weapons they are holding , Solomon holds a bow and a quiver , Cain holds the scales , Uriel holds a familiar sword and Azrael's scythe " But a fight is much better isn't it ? " Karma reveals a controller and activated remote bombs .
Explosions occurred instantly all over the island as they wondered what kind of trick Karma was trying to pull . Karma holds out a bow identical to Solomon's but with an arrow different from his .
" I'm counting on you now Isir " Karma smiles as he pulls the strings appendages sprout out of his body to help him pull the strings and point directly at Solomon ' I'm not that stupid to fight outnumbered but I can increase my odds '
He releases the string as the arrow stabs Solomon causing him to slowly forget plenty " Isir made such a perfect weapon , now to claim my spoils " inside the perfect astral realm Karma devours Solomon's memories .
Cain quickly understood what kind of weapon Karma used as he heard Solomon ask " What happened " ' Should I tell them ? ' Cain's hesitation continued as a hand appeared to grab Solomon's bow turning it into a ring before the hand crushed it into a dense pebble .
Cain tries to look for the arrow and spots Karma pointing an arrow at him ' He took it ? ' An arrow flew down as Azrael swung his scythe to destroy it " He took Solomon's arrows ? " Azrael looks at Solomon and recognizes the state he is in .
" Solomon can't fight now " Azrael faced up to where he thought Karma was to see nothing " Looking for someone ? " Uriel parries Karma's spear " Dang , I just learned how to use it " Azrael reveals his wings to blow out the dust and spots a hand holding the arrows as they are crushed to turn into mist .
" It's gonna be foggy for a bit " Karma removes the scapegoat as he wears the skull sprouting bigger wings as they fold around Karma who uses Ziz's power to envelop Pestilence inside the battlefield as Cain starts suffering from several plagues .
" I got the two humans but the angels will be a bit harder " Karma unfolds his wings to blow out Pestilence away while releasing the stained feathers from him . He watched Cain suffer from the plagues as Uriel went to land a blow at him .
Karma felt the pain on his shoulder still going on with the test of his body's fate upon death ' I know Abaddon was fine when he was in my body he even developed a soul connection , But I was never truly dead that time '
Uriel backs away seeing how Karma hasn't flinched a bit " Kinda hurt " " Uriel he won't be stop unless I kill him , I need to separate his soul from his body " Azrael said calmly informing how they can beat Karma .
" To be honest I thought you would be much harder but taking the first two down is quite easy " Karma said with much disappointment in his tone but failed to provoke both of the angels as Karma continued to watch Cain suffering and Solomon in confusion .
" Eyes on the enemy " Azrael swings his scythe to Karma " I do " Karma sweeps Azrael's scythe with wind sending him back as Uriel swings his sword up high to strike while Karma swats it away using the dark feathers that sprouted from his wrist .
" You should've done a practice run " Karma said as he created an Illusion of Samael " Is this the face you wanted the anti christ to have " Uriel was taunted as he ignited the flaming sword charging at Karma with only the desire to win .
" DO NOT USE THAT FACE COUNT " " Uriel stop " Karma was impressed by Azrael's patience and Uriel's anger " Did we have such a close relationship brother ? " Karma taunted Uriel more acting like Samael .
" ENOUGH WITH THIS FARCE YOU ARE NOT SAMAEL " Karma notices the increased brightness of the flaming sword as Azrael tries to join in " I WILL DO IT MYSELF AZRAEL " " Hey remember when we used to call each other brother ? "
" Stop it " " In the garden of eden ? I made so many things that Father has taught me , I made so many beautiful plants , so many animals with Leviathan , painted the Behemoth with on Ziz's back "
" STOP !!! " Uriel fails to land a blow after Karma's constant dodges as he continues to recount beautiful memories of the first angels as Karma continues to pretend to be Lucifer recounting the past's memories to taunt Uriel .
" Father let me help decorate the garden of Eden , I commanded the music to make the garden a more beautiful place , I was given the virtue of concord because of my work "
Karma produced the illusion of the garden of eden " Everything was so beautiful it was such a fun and lovely life when we all played in the garden making sculptures of animals , trees with delicious and sweet fruit , the cool and refreshing river waters , the warm and bright sun "
" But I'll never understand why Father let me fall and gave what I worked so hard on to the humans " Karma released the illusion as Uriel prepared his blade to make a large and heavy slash but missed as Karma grabbed Uriel " Hostages don't work on me "
Azrael said , the blade of his scythe closing distance to Karma " I never needed one " the scythe passed through Karma's body as Azrael felt his scythe cut the bonds of his soul to his body so easily realizing Karma had no resistance to dying .
" What ? " Azrael was confused as he quickly thought of why Karma let the attack land " Why did you do that ? " Azrael asked in much greater confusion than Solomon who had no memories Uriel moved back feeling the blood spilled from Karma's shoulder hurt him in some way he couldn't understand .
" Huh ? " The two angels couldn't tell what was happening as they watched Karma's lifeless body start spitting out the scapegoat he previously wore and a fake one before releasing more objects that weren't physical or material .
' It spits out objects that aren't physical , that part makes sense but is it this way because I'm no longer in control ? '41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpRf7jNlrB
