Chapter 37: Chapter 37

That revelation put everything into a much starker light. This was not just someone who craved power, he wasn’t just an old gangster like Spider or a desperate rebel like the Shade Wolves.

Laricus was a cold, ancient, calculating man who desired more than power, who felt entitled to godhood. And unlike the being Shade who had done it before, Laricus already had a sizable and obviously diverse collection of minions. His followers would be widespread, a true competitor to the Goddess herself. This was something that the supernatural community of this world could not just take without intense resistance.
