章節 563: Chapter 544 ( Abrupt End )
"You killed that idiot, didn't you?" - Meruem asked as he looked closely at the man in front of him.
"You mean the butterfly guy?" - Cloud asked as he raised an eyebrow - "Yeah, he's dead."
"I see, that's a pity" - said Meruem while squinting his eyes - "I wanted to kill him with my own hands for the stupid things he had done during the last few days."
"Well, you had to get in line because you're not the only one who wanted him dead" - Cloud replied calmly, only to give him a small smile - "Anyway, now what do we do?"
Meruem didn't answer, he slowly stood up and looked at his royal guards.
Cloud raised an eyebrow as he watched this, only to notice how Meruem disappeared - "!"
"We didn't know exactly when you would arrive, or if you were watching us after killing our idiot brother, that's why we prepared" - Neferpitou was showing a serious expression as she commented this - "And I see it served, you didn't even notice that the king wasn't in this place and was only one of my puppets pretending to be him."
Cloud frowned because he really hadn't noticed this, after all, that puppet had the scent and aura of the chimera ant king.
"That doesn't change the fact that you guys are dead now" - Kyoko said with a frown.
"We knew it from the moment we stayed, but our lives don't compare to our king's because as long as he lives, our race will live on with him" - replied Youpi as he made his muscles grow drastically.
Cloud was silent for a few seconds as he looked at the two loyal [Royal Guards].
"It's a shame to see someone as loyal as you two, have to die" - Cloud sighed calmly.
Now that he had evolved, his control over his emotions and his [Sins], were much better, so there was no need to get upset.
The [7 Sins] were restraining each other, maintaining a strange, chaotic harmony.
Cloud slowly walked to the two [Royal Guards], not even asking them about the location of their king because he knew they wouldn't say a word.
"I guess that's it," Cloud declared as he held out his hand.
Neferpitou and Youpi watched this calmly as they felt everything around them distort before falling lifelessly to the ground.
The battle was over before it began, with no epic attacks or high-speed scenes, all because of the huge power difference between Cloud and his two opponents.
"What do we do with the corpses?" - Kyōka asked while raising an eyebrow - "Are you going to eat them?"
"No, it's not necessary" - answered cloud as he put them away in his inventory - "They could be of use for the future."
"If you say so" - Kyōka replied as she shrugged her shoulders and looked around - "Although I'm surprised that they would do something like this, it's obvious that they planned everything in advance and it worked out well for them."
Cloud didn't respond, he looked around calmly before turning around.
"Where are we going now?" - Kyōka asked as she walked behind the blond along with her companion.
"We'll check around for the chimera ant king, and if we don't find him, I guess we'll have to continue our search somewhere else" Cloud answered seriously, before looking around with a frown.
"Do you sense that he's nearby?" - Kyoko asked as she looked around curiously.
"Yes, but at the same time I feel that he is not in the area" - answered Cloud before retreating in together with his two companions.
10 minutes later, and after making sure Cloud had escaped, Meruem came out from under the ground.
He had changed a lot, his body seemed to have been rejuvenated because his size was reduced, and the strangest thing was that he was missing an arm - ". . ."
Meruem had made the ultimate sacrifice apart from his guards, he had sacrificed much of his power in order to create an "exuvia" that maintained much of his vitality in order to deceive the blond, this being controlled by Neferpitou thanks to his Nen ability.
"This is so demeaning" - Meruem muttered as he gritted his teeth, only to sigh with regret that this was the last thing he could do - "I need to start devouring more creatures so I can return to my former power, though without my arm, this will be difficult."
Meruem looked in the direction of his arm and sighed regretfully, only to curse the strange blond man and his oppressive aura that had caused him to accept his position as an inferior creature.
No matter how much he denied it, on a biological level, he couldn't compare to Cloud unless he managed to devour him, but now it was impossible, in fact, he didn't even want to be near him because he knew his fate would be sealed.
"Now, what the fuck do I do?" - Meruem asked himself because first time in his short life, he did not know what to do because the mission that his mother entrusted him with was not possible.
Meruem again shook his head and sighed with regret before deciding that this was a good time to be able to start a new journey in order to find a new goal, not knowing that this journey would make him meet a person who would change his worldview even more.
Fate was mysterious, and unbeknownst to him, Meruem had dodged a bullet and was walking to a destination he never thought he would achieve.
* * * * *
Cloud was about to continue his mission, when he received a notification that surprised him.
[Advent of the Chimera Ants, has ended]
[Due to the user's actions, many of the important characters of this arc have changed their destinies and the plot has been distorted].
[Hidden Achievement: [Uncertain Destiny (1)], has been completed]
[Uncertain Fate: To have helped at least 3 characters relevant to the plot to survive their death. Among the characters there must be at least one villain]].
[Reward: Character Roulette Lvl 2]
Cloud was even more surprised after reading the description of the achievement, though he quickly shook his head because he didn't understand what the fuck was going on.
He quickly looked at the reward which was welcome despite his confusion, and was surprised to see it.
[Character Recruitment Roulette Lvl 2: Allows random recruitment of some character world level 2 or below]
"A simple description, but effective" - Cloud said as he nodded, only to get to thinking about the current situation.
[World presents no more dangers to the user, it is recommended to leave it and start a new adventure].
Cloud refused to follow this suggestion because he still had some things left to complete in this world and see if they could find more rare items, though preferably, not as rare as the [Nidhogg's Blood] because even though everything went well, there was a moment where he thought he would transform into a monster without consciousness or was about to explode from the energy overload.
"What do we do now, Cloud?" - Kyōka asked because she, as well as Kyoko, had read the notification.
"We don't have much left to do" - answered Cloud with a frown - "Honestly, I was hoping things wouldn't end this way, but at least now we have the possibility of being able to save some villains to end the worlds much faster, this important information because it gives us a little more freedom when it comes to choosing sides."
"The villains?" - Kyoko asked with a frown because she wasn't quite comfortable with the idea of being on their side.
"Hmm, I was always curious what it felt like to be the bad guy in the story" - said Kyōka with a huge toothy grin - "This way, everyone would come to me on their own."
"Typical Kyōka-san thinking" - Kyoko replied while shaking her head.
"Well, if it's any consolation, it's quite possible that in the future we'll be forced to work with the villains thanks to me" - Cloud replied with a frown - "I remember that I'm an [Enemy of the World] now."
"Oh, you're right" - said Kyoko with regret because she was ignoring this "little" detail.
"Well, now that we know that there is no apparent danger, we'd better retreat" - Cloud replied as he looked at the two women.
He trusted the judgment of the [system] because it had not failed him so far, or at least he wanted to believe so.
"If that's what you wish, I guess we can go back to the others and inform them about the situation, although I assure you that Menchi-san won't be happy about the situation" - Kyōka replied with a teasing smile.
Cloud didn't respond to this joke of the blue-haired girl, although it was obvious that her words were true.
He knew that Menchi would explode when she saw them return, although it wasn't as if he had to give her explanations when they had only been traveling companions, although this he wouldn't say out loud because he didn't want to hurt the [Gourmet Slayer] because they had become quite a close group after everything they had experienced together.
