章 3: 3:Choice[2]

"I don't understand this. You are an almighty God but you don't even have this much power in your hands so isn't your status useless."

'Is he really a god or a con artist?'

Vesturon's lips twitched seeing the expression of this foolish human.

"Just think like this. If you are a citizen in one country and I am the president of another. Even if I hold great authority, I can't control everything in your country, and if I visited there, my freedom would be restricted, unlike citizens of that country free to do as they wish."

"That makes sense except for the fact that you are Deity," Leon asked as the previous explanation created more doubts for him and made him more suspicious of this guy.

"So, what do you want me to do?"

"Just do what you are good at."Vesturon patted Leon's shoulder and drawing closer whispered into his ears.

"All you need to do is kill."

Leon stepped aside and looked at Vesturon from head to toe wondering what kind of God asked others to kill instead of guiding people to the right path.

Are you really the preserver deity or an Evil deity?

"Don't give me that look. It's exactly the reason why you have been chosen out of countless individuals. You will belong to the neutral side that is unaffected by the protagonist's luck and the villain's halo."

Leon rubbed his chin with a questioning look.

"Are you sure this is the correct way? Arent you repeating the same mistake? There is already a hero and villain faction, and now you are creating a side-character faction who suddenly stopped being a side-character."

Vesturon shook his head and explained patiently, "I am not. Because you will be the only one. The protagonists aren't moulds of justice but rather the people with the protection of luck so unless necessary they hate one another while the Villain devours their luck to get stronger along with committing all kinds of vile acts. And the ratio between the both is almost 10:1, while you will be the only one in between them."

"Let me ask you think. If protagonists hate each other why don't they fight one another?"Leon asked, catching the point.

"That's what they did and the fight went on until nothing remained. To curb them, we introduced Villain so they would minimize the large number of protagonists but due to their vile nature, they ravaged everything and this ended up as a war between many villains."Vesturon spoke helplessly.

"All of this is a gamble on my side. That's why I wouldn't throw too many cards to destroy the already existing delicate temporary balance. All I want you is to reign free to do better and take as many protagonists and antagonists before you die. And, as per as I know though you are a mad hound, you won't harm innocent unless others act first."

"So, I will give you 10 seconds to choose. Do you want to reincarnate or slumber into the abyss of death? And let me warn you, if you decline my offer you won't have any more rebirth cause if I let you go like this there might be a weird aftermath as you stop being normal the moment you come in contact with my holy aura."

'Wow!So arrogant.'Leon clapped inwardly, pretending to be amazed.

"The choice is yours. So choose mortal."

Leon exhaled heavily and closed his eyes.

Second chance?

Regrets, I don't have many,

Except for the fact that I hadn't lived a life of my own. Maybe I should give it a try but can I really trust this so-called God?

What awaits me in the new life?

Happiness, bliss, or never-ending pain, suffering, and loneliness.

Despite the danger, the prospects and anticipation of the new world with its surprises and power structure are quite enthralling.

But more than that, what I want is something that can be called life and family. As for the word called friends, those legendary creatures are narrated in verses of epic and poems of fantasy. You won't find them in real life cause if I had a single friend who tried to understand me or get closer to me, maybe I wouldn't have someone who would at least shed a few drops of tears on my grave if I had one.

"Okay, I accept but what about the benefits like reincarnation, starter pack powers, gifts..."

"Great!"Vesturon shouted, cutting Leon's speech, and snapped his finger that covered Leon's vision with an illuminating light.

As the light dissipated, Leon stood confused like a statue with something in his hand, and as he turned his gaze, towards the object.

"What the fuck?"

"A metallic road...Wait, isn't this referring to that type of power in smut R-18 novels...."

Leon's eyes almost bulged out of his socket and he gawked at Vesturon angrily.

"In the epoch of times, I have heard about Dragon Slayer, God Slayer, Giant Slayer, Vampire Slayer but out of all those fucking powers you gave me the power of a pussy slayer. Do you want me to rape heroines, create a harem so that both Hero and Villains can't get the luck to rise? Let me tell you, I hate rapists to the core and have killed many of them.."

"Shut up!"Vesturon roared in frustration.

"This isn't that kind of thing. We already had a brief talk about this and you had selected the power of your own. The memories of these talks are sealed and will be unlocked after you reincarnate and encounter specific circumstances. I did this to make sure the universal laws can't sense my presence."

"Aren't you an Almighty god, so why do you fear the world law so much?''

"Just stop eating my head and get out now."

Vesturon waved his hand creating a turbulent storm.

Leon felt his whole body becoming light suddenly and he was pulled by a mysterious force.

Soon a huge vortex appeared and engulfed Leon who lost his vision, the moment he entered the vortex.

At the same time, Vesturon's angry expression changed along with his figure which becomes enlarged and imposing.

The huge endless hall disappeared leaving a vast space with a huge throne over which Vesturon's behemoth figure appeared.

Cracks appeared in a void from which a figure shot out and he bowed his head before the Preserver Deity with a look of respect and reverence.

"My Lord, was it the right choice to choose such an imbecile? I fear he will bring more harm than benefits."

"Moreover, didn't you see how that lowly filth talked back at you without a shred of decency? If not for being merciful and lowering yourself to act similar to those puny mortals, he would have been devastated just by glancing at your true self."

Vesturon stared at his follower with a gratifying smile. He along with the other two is the top deity but below them, there are many other Gods who act as their hands and feet.

Kairos is the God of Opportunity who creates miracles and the path that leads one to what he desires.

"Kairos, do you think that I made a foolish choice?"

"I am nothing but a mere servant incapable of fathoming the thoughts of Liege," Kairos spoke with reverence.

"If it's someone who is too brilliant then just like them, he would get out of control, and if it's someone foolish, he would die before he can set the stage. He is perfect for this cause as he didn't have any outstanding features except for being a weird reasoner."

"Though I wasn't able to see some part of his memories due to universal laws, I am sure he won't pose any threat to me."

"Vrahmos and Vrathor tried to create too many puppets in thirst for power who are now biting at their backs. If things went on uncontrolled like this it wouldn't take long enough for our demise."

"So, I hope this pawn of mine can disrupt things and sow seeds of chaos weakening them before the final run."

"Liege, I may be presumptuous but in case he fails. As you know that you can't control or take back the powers once he enters the world."Kairos spoke worriedly.

Vesturon frowned and stared at the sky solemnly.

A mighty pressure erupted from his whole body shaking the entire void that started cracking.

"If he fails then so be it. I will utilize plan b and send another. And once the fruit is ripe, I will pluck it. There is nothing that can stop my path of domination. In this play, I will be the only one who will have the final say."

Unaware of the huge conspiracy brewing behind him, Leon's soul transversed through space and time to arrive at his final destination.

And even if he knew about this, he would only sigh and speak two words showing his middle finger.

"Fuck You!"
