The doorbell rings and Karma goes to open it to see several crates " Yo Cain help me out with these " Cain pockets his phone away as Karma calls Lebo " Here are the ores " " Thank you and here are the weapons consider it my investments " " Thank you , but is it okay to include ores that you can't process ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlSX8fs57S
" Of course it is I do want to make weapons out of them " " Then would you like if I provide material for you ? " " Is it okay ? " " Yep mass-produced books don't have any sins so it should be fine " " Yeah I guess if there is some sinful books I could use them for practice "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMwnow1EGb
Lebo misunderstood thinking Karma meant R18 works " I meant the sins not whatever you are thinking " " Ahh ! I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f4CgnE467
Lebo takes the ores away as Karma decides to wait " Aren't you going to prepare to sleep early ? " " No need to think that far Cain I had quite a good rest a while ago about four hours of having my brain inputted with new knowledge is quite great honestly if I couldn't access the dream world like it is a lucid dream I would have a hard time "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqKc33xYdC
" Don't you need at least eight hours of sleep " " The quality of sleep also matters you know I even renovated a part of their new research location with a room that has the highest sleep quality the walls are like glass to acid so whatever noise is outside it will be completely quiet inside "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt4KScO3KP
" I cannot believe the extent you go to extend your luxuries " " If my body can perfectly rest I can increase productivity by twenty percent and I can simply rest an extra four hours soon so I'll wait till it's midnight or close to go to sleep the rest of my required sleeping time "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy0iZK5G2h
The doorbell rings again " Hence why we should party like crazy !!! " Karma grabbed the wine and food he had delivered " YO CAIN time to have fun till 10 !!! " Karma popped out the cap of a wine glass and drank it straight from the battle .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hQ0DpzCs
" HELL YEAH " Cain watched Karma in disbelief " Why are partying now ? " " Huh Why are you weak to alcohol for someone who lived for a long time ? " " No but don't you think you should at least care for what could go wrong in hell "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ccue9r4ai
Karma smiled " Shut up Cain As long as it doesn't reach a certain threshold it won't be a problem " " So as long as we don't take you close to hell you won't attract it the same way the founder attracted his friend ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN6oZYuZJK
Karma nodded " It's like the law of relavity , someone with greater mass can have a gravitational pull hence allowing the guardian to find the founder the same may apply to me hence why the guardian who has traveled to different worlds was able to stay in ours due to the coincidence of a certain bloodline being able to bend space where the guardian dwells enough to let the guardian slide closer "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gBQN63Pon
Cain grabs some food feeling a bit hungry " Go ahead and eat some I can guarantee quality but not quantity which is good for an evening dinner isn't it ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp7kAZfsGF
Cain wonders if Karma is drunk, but the smell clearly states he was enjoying himself with so much wine but his mind is not to the point where he spouts nonsense .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SSxOt3Fgn
" Hey , Cain do you know when the son of god told to fill six waterpots with water he turned them to wine ? " " Yes they did " " Well take a look at this " Karma revealed a pot , Cain couldn't believe what it could be but had entertained the thought that this was the pot among the six waterpots that turned water to wine .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKV4FesWmh
" Exactly Cain this damn pot can make water to wine !!! " Karma poured water but it remained " Or so I thought but look " Karma imbued it with merit as delicately as possible as the pot turn to wine "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGuR7QOpMT
" Would you look at this I am a son of god now hahah " Karma joked as Cain wondered how long he has to deal with Karma's shenanigans " Man I probably shouldn't take the lord's name in vain but who cares I am donating my precious merit reviving the artifacts "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNV1oV0sk1
" Didn't you say you plan to give the original bible to get some compensation ? " " Ahhh yes I did , didn't I ? Oh well that can wait I don't intend to go to heaven yet whether through death or my guardian angel "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGQtWxHYE
Karma poured out the six waterpots tasting all the wine " Hmm It's good and all but if they all taste the same what's the use " " Aren't you suspicious why they can be used after you embed them with merit ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh94taAQvQz
Karma looks at Cain " Are you just suspicious because you want to be convinced that god is a liar ? " " Wouldn't you be the same when god barely did anything for you and you did everything yourself ? Plus you read the founder's journal about a powerful monster skeptical about God but then you did have the original bible "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGrP8yNo44
" Exactly , Plus these waterpots , you , Lilith and the ring and several other are evidence that god is real . I also had that kind of belief back then when I was busy looking through all the Founder's precious artifacts we have a penchant to see through lies or at least the Founder had when they were curious about Magic which might have helped getting him only authentic works "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf997nphr18
Cain tasted the wine and said " They all taste the same " " I know maybe I should look at changing its merit circuit " " You can do a lot with merit , don't you ? " " That's true but you need to understand the context of what you are trying to do "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49kK5lMTTn
" So you still have to go to heaven ? " " Or I could go to hell there is a surplus of sins circulating through hell and since I just learned merit embedding I might have to learn to use sins too " Karma said as he took another bite of food .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDSF75F8J
" But then again it seems like from what you said about sin ink and what Lebo showed me the ink must be used for more original works rather than mass-produced ones "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNegTcsq9W
" Yeah , I don't know much about the policy of sin ink other than the fact that it was used to mark most of the works so that it can be found when it gets leaked but why is your collection the only one that isn't detected ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUsSsPQH6q
A portal suddenly appeared as a bruised Lilith fell through " Oh did the monster get you ? " Karma said as Lilith looked at him before passing out " Maybe she got robbed by her own family "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA9kqmtCrL
Cain took her to her room returning " What happened ? " Karma showed him the news in hell " What ? " " Looks like the giant piece Founder's friend lost is spawning a different kind of monster in hell , also are these natural demons called natural because they were born to be savages ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRxUz6zJx
" Maybe " " What about angels then ? Is it because these natural angels serve for good instead of god ? Is there no merit in worshipping a god like that ? " Cain slowly felt like his knowledge of the belief in god is changing .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhYGCPaPjm
" Oh well it doesn't matter , does it ? I don't believe in god but rather in myself plus this is a great place to make my weapons shine I even sent an order to continue manufacturing weapons " Cain was amazed at how nonchalant Karma is about several demons being mauled .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAfSZMKlIr
" I mean I know they are technically not dead aren't you a little too relax with this ? " " So what if they are not dead humans tend to care for themselves in the face of death yet you are more worried about demons who aren't dead ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN4DWYJVTH
Cain felt conflicted as the TV screen opened revealing a civil war ending " Boss I ended a civil war but I still can't find the sword of war " " I mean fixing a wound doesn't essentially reveal the knife . We might have to find the sword in the tower after all "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjtvioCdHk
" Shall I prepare a ride ? " " We can at least get it stationed but maybe after I get the ring " " So the ring is still first then I'll keep spreading medical equipment through the globe " " Sure Isir war might take a while but the same will be so with Conquest and Pestilience " Isir leaves as the TV shuts down .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsWUJD8Vv
" but Lucfier has the ring ? " " Yeah but it seems that even Lucifer doesn't know what the giant piece is and more importantly he wouldn't want to test the ring at a time of need hell will be restless now that that monster is unleashed from the piece "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1yFdZTj8X
" So Lucifer wouldn't use the ring ? " " Only the best case scenario he would've been careful if Lilith was the one who sold it to him under the pretense of keeping it off the hands of a human who wouldn't use it at all . Lucifer wouldn't want to test it out immediately as soon as it got to his hands and might even try to keep it with him less it actually works when he lets other demons use it and lose his position as king "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OQhMDJKRR
" But what about the monsters that came out ? " " Well first off you can't exactly stop them now that they aren't natural demons with sins so the best choice to neutralize them is to use actual force or treat them like animals , take a look at this clip "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTWKoDg1kI
Cain watched as a monster took the sin ink from Lilith's bag and turned it into a ball just like Lilith destroying the town with it " It can do that now ? " " From what I can tell it can learn but why now ? Maybe because it was having trouble understanding or maybe " Karma made a smile to hint on something .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJyAaGjSa
With much confusion , Cain patted his body to see what wasn't supposed to be there " Why not check the cold food bag that your paranoia was convinced would be useful should you get left in hell by Lilith ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnLKFLbpet
Cain recalled it and had repeatedly told Lilith it was nothing during their trip to the lake " How do you know ? " " You did hate being poor and always wanted to eat so I figured you would take it " " And the note was just something to keep me from not taking it ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL169tTXTvZ
" Yep I'm sure Lilith figured you were paranoid about being left in hell and sent you away first that woman must have some motherly love can't say she failed though if several demons are free to journey and make their own path " Cain felt responsible for the chaos .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMRtTMLsPE
" Now now Cain it's good the chaos started this way we have to solve it anyways this was bound to happen anyways and the monsters would've had a different goal like kill all demons or prey on them like food and turn hell a hell for demons , humans and angels alike but now it is drawn to the blood packet you took it will keep searching aimlessly for it . "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGEiFCU0I
" But the town where would it go next ? " " Well There are some things you don't know about the founder's friend " ' This must be some missing pages he tore out '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pCULcEOms
" You see there was already one instance where there was another person that attracted their attention as for the specifics it's not mentioned in the original journal "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3ZOyNO4Mo
" So what I had was a copy ? " " Yeah I wouldn't let you have the original plus it was written in a much older language so I did save time for you anyways , But back to the fact even after the person similar to the Founder was gone they still stayed behind . "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeIEqkH3s5
" So the monster would just stay in the town ? " " Yes and would likely stay there take a look " Cain watched as the clips showed the monster looking at the town noticing that it was venturing frequently through the route he and Lilith took .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv6WiekhMN
" It then returned down to the cave , safe to say the demons are safe for now " " So what do you want me to do ? " " Come on you think I plan to do anything ? Just sleep " " There is a dangerous monster loose in hell and you want me to sleep " Cain said but with no anger or great stir in his emotion .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFcllyf9ro
" Relax we got time plus we can't expect Lilith to take us to hell unconscious and I don't want to be sued for any lawsuits of invading hell without the permission of one of its higher-ranking demons "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfNav2kkOw
" That's what you are worried about ? " " Yeah , It would be like dealing with those self-entitled customers who call the manager for not getting a discount on a coupon that expired at the beginning of the universe " Cain wondered if Karma liked to exaggerate some statements for the fun of it .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV0iOroWF4
" But you are free to stay around and wait for Lilith to wake up only to be lethargic because you are tired from no sleep but don't worry the bedrooms can sustain optimal resting conditions improving sleep quality by at least 5% which is a lot if you consider you need between 8-10 hours of sleep "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PGSUMt9Mo
Cain tries to count how much time he will be saving as Karma goes to bed after finishing his dinner while Cain is left to decide " Oh whatever I'll just go to sleep " He goes to bed thinking about his farmer curse ' Lilith said that it was the power of famine for the scales to control '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSawbBVMG7
Rolling over he didn't know whether he should be worried if his other curse might be another thing that could be used against him ' Would God use this sevenfold payback for something else ' Disturbed and all his worries were pointless at the comfort of the bed .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsmScJABhd
' I get why Karma preferred this kind of room I have to say it is very comfortable ' Cain goes to sleep grateful for the comfortable room as Karma walks into his dream ' How nice to let me see how the Babylon tower was being built . '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p2F9hDBDL
Cain was dreaming of being a laborer in a big progressing tower of Babel " What a weird place they tried to build the tower was it destroyed by taking the bricks out and was some scammer using a fake building to invite tourist ? But then there was the god who initiated it all "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2nohKHPps
He looked up at the sky recalling the tale of the tower vaguely ' God scatters the people by giving them different languages creating a language barrier to prevent people from understanding each other but the early works of the bible seem to have terrible ideas for division '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQZ82YNLJF
He suddenly saw his shadow as he turned and watched the sky as a bright light flashed down on the tower of Babel " That confirms that God did use something " he turned to see Cain rush to the light like a hungry orphan in war seeking out a loaf of bread to survive .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW6dIpWadq
Karma followed Cain as there was not much he could do considering Cain was the center of the dream and anything beyond his perception was not very detailed " GOOOOOD I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I DID " Karma watched Cain yell at the top of his lungs as Karma watched the bright sword .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4h6CzqTHa
' Hmm ? ' Karma looks at the crater where the sword ' It looks pretty scorched it's burning the ground like crazy ' he was generally interrupted by Cain who kept apologizing as he looked at the distance of Lilith's dream .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNKWyla4uO
" Is that the flaming sword meant to protect paradise ? " Karma could see the sword ' It looks just like the one in Cain's dream , But Eden does look beautiful and familiar not like space or anything ' he watched Lilith reject Adam as Karma looked at Adam's face and eventually he witnessed Eve's creation .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P0JuajgpM
' At least I confirmed that the sword from babel is the flaming sword but this sword wasn't wielded by an angel but rather god himself so does that mean the four horsemen were just god all along ? Although it all makes sense though , Solomon's ring was too powerful and could be the symbol of god who granted it to Solomon , Famine was split with a huge part given to Cain who was the first to be punished and was even given a little protection '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3CLkkznY0
He returned to Cain's dream watching him being punished by god who was enveloped with light ' Looks like the four horsemen may be god in disguise maybe the reason for this is similar to when the son of god was sent to the mortal world but that would mean he has to claim them , taking these tools may be dangerous so I'll have to make sure I know where they are which means '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DdwEBgIlT
He saw leaves and fire dive down as the promise keepers decided to gather food in the dreams ' It sure is nice to watch them enjoy themselves , so I'll make sure you kids enjoy yourself '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EbLRx7ucd
He wakes up knowing about the nature of his ability as the portal and goes done to check on the collection ' Crown of thorns might be part of conquest '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzdI3nCPv5
He carefully held it as he authenticated its origin ' I did remember that the founder had plenty of annoying churches wanting to claim ownership without cost '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsbvzdWtbc
He wanted to punch the pope and even wished the current church would leave him behind ' But seeing as these churches have a history of pestering '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjEaSSROaj
He opens the blocked emails looking at the ones about returning several treasures for the church to safely keep recalling the reason why the church hasn't claimed .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBotOE3Ms6
' The Count Family never had a terrible misfortune and thus used that reason that they are not in danger hence why there was no need of safekeeping '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWO4SWefbO
He thinks about the past days realising what he can already do " That's right if the church is informed by the angels that I became involved then " he smiled as he called the church taking a seat and holding the original bible " Hello John I hope I didn't call you at a bad time but I'm sure you will make time with me " Karma held the original bible .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWosvIpl8hs
" Sir Count , what are you calling me for ? " " Don't think you are higher than me Pope I know that some angels told you that I was involved with them " John calmly nodded as he continued .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyATGWiqcZ
" Then are you here to give us the original bible at a cost ? " " You know me well or is that just common knowledge of me ? "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Fpjn5tBV
" I will hear your terms and relay your words to god " " So you are acting as god's representative ? " John shook his head lightly " No I am merely speaking so you do not be blinded by his glory "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPuYYJA6aw
Karma smiled as John started glowing closing his gold-lighted eyes " Then I shall get my terms in then I want to know what god can offer for safekeeping the original bible from any deterioration I'm sure it would be quite a lot "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkd59uUYEM
" Yes it would be I will give you plenty of things for safekeeping a valuable artifact , but you may have to allow my angels to thank you to ? " " It is fine A Count won't deny any heartfelt gifts " " Then I will have Mihr the angel closest to you to bring the Bible thank you my child for protecting one of the symbols of the Angels reverence "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dfY7eYbOI
Karma smiled as he closed the call ' I got something I didn't expect I was just going to get what god gave ' Karma sat outside on a bench made to watch Mihr appear with as little light as possible " Karma we meet again " " Yeah hello Mihr I was hoping to return this " Mihr watched Karma holding the precious book with a hand .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzbvYELeSV
" AAAA " Mihr held the book with two hands making sure it had little contact to him " Oh this is so beautiful " " It ate quite a lot of my merit you know " " It did are you saying that the merit somehow disappeared ? " Karma nodded " That's strange I'll be sure to tell everyone about this " " Please do "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrnw5n6kEy
" and Karma " Karma turned to Mihr wondering what he wanted to add " Thank you for asking me for help it's been fun being able to do my duty as your guardian angel " " I thought I was asking too much " " Not at all I was told by some angels to drop their gifts for you "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2YUzGC2FF
" Thanks " Mihr smiled as he flew back to heaven holding the bible Karma wondered what god's personal gift would be like ' I do have to go back to sleep but ' Looking at the several relics he sighed " At least I have all the black curtains . "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ554mqYEcli
He uses his merit to bring them all in or he might spend the extra 4 hours he earned taking everything in . Karma went back to bed and very early in the next morning likely during the devil's hour , the promise keepers left the other side through him .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZiTOeGdiI
" I'll go back telling stories " Gale said " Can I explore ? " Dream asked " Sure but don't go to anyone's dreams I won't be asleep anytime now " Gale wondered if Karma was also having troubles naming Dream as Karma had a call .
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9nQZegNW
" Boss , What kind of secret project are you doing ? " " What already bored of the Akasha project " " I am more terrified than bored I don't know what kind of sci-fi technology you got your hands into but I think I have at least 40 different books stuffed into my head "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOfRli58i4
" That's a lot , You beat my record although that record was only the result because I stopped there " " Boss are you trying to use this to brainwash people ? " " From Heavens to Hell no I was investing in that subject because there were some things I preferred not to read through at all "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN0gnP62yj
James popped a vein as he rubbed his head which came from his headache and takes a book to read . Karma on the other hand was feeling bored and did some exercise as Truth asked " Karma I wanna ask "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsXVmg1wP
" You can talk that's great but I guess you still want a proper body ? " " No you always take me but do you remember the promise that the guardian made with the Founder ? " " Yes it was to always take care of him "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEJvULagR
" Wouldn't he have broken the promise then ? " Karma smiled remembering how the promise was made " That would be the case but you see since his friend made a promise the Count who had forgotten all about his friend wouldn't view that as a promise broken but he also had said "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHmfo711w
"Even though they made a promise to always take care of me they were conflicted that my life would eventually end by breaking it so I told them to simply extend that promise to my family as they are my blood and would allow them to keep their promise"
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTFNqAzaEL
" Of course , I don't intend to leave him alone " Karma said " So let's make sure the Count will always be taken care of without any troubles " Karma searched up the Count "Reed Count Currently researching the living energy"
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S1ubdiaSx
" Why is he so short ? " " Probably because he lost memories and is trying to fill them up but what is this living energy he is researching " ' Is it a lost piece but then again I couldn't specify how many of such pieces were lost '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42wjTVixX9
He tries to understand the living energy that the Count was researching and finds more information ' This might be one of the lost pieces , Is Reed feeling a close attraction to the piece because of his past exposures ? '
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqKwfb3Xsg
" How are you going to help him ? " " I intend to make sure nothing bad happens to him not much of a problem if the angels discovered that it was him who got the bible out of a black market "
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKzZLruqmp
" Would they even know ? " " Of course , they would the Count generally had a deep interest in magical things it was quite famous to say that "There are no witches and wizards because the Count's Founder took all of the mythical literary works and relics" "
