Perseus POV
So God did his magic, and sure enough, that soul thing came right out of me and God used his magic to create a physical vessel for him and also bind him to the vessel against his consent, the vessel was made with super low-quality sand and dirt, meaning that he'll be super weak.
Using earth magic to control him is also advantageous, so we can always determine who he is if we use magic to detect magical sand. He looks like a lighter-skinned me, the same height, and has similar features except that he has a beard and black curly hair.
"Alright, I'm going home now. You can go anywhere on your own."
"Sure, I need my own money anyway." Curly replied, "Ey, old man, can I borrow some clothes."
And we named him Curly by the way.
"By the way, nice knowing ya, Leilah's gonna break your fingers," he said
"Are we sure that we shouldn't put him in prison?"
"No," God shook his head, "Going against fate is always the best way to manifest it."
Didn't you not help me because...fucking hypocrite.
*****
I got home and I could see that only Dawn and Buddy were home and typing a document about the 7 sins, I asked her where the others were, but she said that the girls had a meeting or girls' night out.
Ace and Amora are doing their own investigations after they were shown the evidence. They are trying to find a good battleground for our future fight or are setting it up. Buddy is to guard the apartment and he's at the door with a bowl of cube steaks.
"Something happened between you and Ruka, didn't it?" she asked
"No, why?"
"Something happened."
"Fine."
"You're not gonna deny it?"
"You figured it out anyway. How?"
"Whenever you lie, your ears quiver a bit." she answered as I sat down before finally coming next to me, "The others are about a day away since Ruka is planning to tell them what happened...wanna have some fun?"
"Your family seriously needs to get your lustful feelings in check."
"I was only suggesting a romantic pizza-making class for 2." she pouted
"I detected a half lie there. Were you perhaps trying to do that, make the atmosphere into a romantic mood and ignite the residual powers of lust inside me?...I'll take your silence as a yes."
"Wow, you're pretty smart."
"Yeah, we're moving faster than me and Lilith, I'm not ready to be a father."
"Just because my fertility is too good? There's other ways...you can try my mouth and from beh-"
"Stop, you're leaning into the close...and just for the record, I have felt and experienced every single part of their bodies, and the rest is private information."
"Then why are you looking away with a nervous expression? I'm the least scary person in the room, even Buddy over there is scarier than me, who's a goddess."
This woman is trying to kill me. She's beautiful and she knows that any guy would find it hard to resist, but I did my best as she's being very suggestive right now, not something that fits her image as the goddess of purity or whatever.
Besides, I'm busy thinking about Curly, he may not be a hard opponent to fight against, but what if he used his smarts to become a force to be reckoned with?
The only reason why I didn't kill him was because God did say that the fragment of Cain's soul would just be transferred to someone else. It had to die a natural death, and Curly would live another 20-25 years at best.
Does this mean that I'm a reincarnation of Cain? That's a bit hard to think about, but it could also just mean that the actual reincarnation died and it transferred to me, though I'm surprised that no major accidents happened since I left him in the cave.
He's supposed to be the leftover terrible qualities of Cain, right? So he might just be good enough to like destroy a city or something, I mean my soul is also imbued a bit. It is possible to eliminate his soul entirely and make sure he doesn't reincarnate or transfer anywhere, but I need Maple specifically.
We'll deal with it when the time comes. The TV was on and sure enough, there was a lot of news about the escapees who came forward and talked about the atrocities they've suffered by being in the project and how it's still going.
However, for some reason, the news was really short and quick.
"He paid them." Dawn said, "And the things mentioned are all underplayed, some of the so-called escapees are also just paid actors who created fake and hypocritical reports, not the real victims are having a hard time being believed."
What got my interest was H.A.P.P.Y Solutions having a representative coming up and talking about unveiling a project that they've been working on for so long, Project: Lucifer.
A lot of religious people were against that name as a project that's supposed to be life-changing shouldn't have a name that glorifies the name of a devil. A couple were defending it as they brought up the title of the light-bringer and all that. But why call it Project: Lucifer?
Vince died...unless they found the reincarnate who got the power already. This is bad...they wouldn't call something life-changing that easily considering their past creations.
"Yeah, I'm getting pissed at the guy, I'm just gonna go to sleep."
"With me or Buddy?" Dawn asked
"Depends on the mood after I freshen up, I'm gonna go see that unveiling live on that afternoon, and I will be killing a lot of people if it's something I don't like."
"Our guests already agreed to help, we can afford it."
