Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 201: Changes

Pinnacle of Egoes.

Cupid told Pablo that when Jamal snapped his fingers, she saw the pinnacle of Egoes.

Her shoulders and hands were trembling. It had been one week since then and yet, she couldn’t stop shaking.

"What exactly did you witness?" Pablo asked. His curiosity peaked.

"I don’t know exactly. Jamal just snapped his fingers and the next moment, no one was there inside the mist. It was empty. The soldiers weren’t there, you weren’t there, the burning Woman wasn’t there and Jamal wasn’t there. The place was empty."

"Isn’t that just teleportation?"

"No. I am sure it wasn’t teleportation. In teleportation, you at least see a flicker, you at least see people vanishing. Jamal did something different. I didn’t even blink and yet I saw nothing. Even Andre saw nothing. You all just disappeared."

"Okay. After we all disappeared, how did you and Andre find us again?"

"We left the mist area and walked from where we came. We arrived at the place where you all entered inside the mist. Where you have left your horse before entering the mist."

"Yes. Yes. I get it. Just keep talking."

"When we arrived at that place, all of you were there. The five thousand soldiers were there, the burning Woman was there and you were there. Also, Jamal was there. In an instant, you all were outside the mist."

"In an instant? We were too many people and all of us were outside the mist in an instant?"

"Yes. Jamal did it. All the soldiers were asking him what happened and Jamal replied to no one. He asked the soldiers to take you back to the castle and he himself carried the burning Woman."

"Is the Woman dead?"

"I don’t know. I was with you the entire time. Andrezj too. Jamal brought the Woman inside the castle and you were sent to this room. And since then, one week has passed."

"Damn. What is Jamal’s Ego then?" Superfast teleportation?"

"Don’t you know? You copied the Ego and you have also seen his memories. You were so shocked after watching that."

"I didn’t use his Ego as the System told me it wasn’t an offensive type. And I didn’t figure out his Ego from his memories. I was shocked for an entirely different reason."

"What was the reason?"

"You will know it soon enough. I am sure Jamal isn’t happy with me. I will be called soon. The King’s court will be held again."

"No one knows that you are awake yet. One soldier will come to check soon. Jamal had ordered him to check daily and tell him as soon as you wake up."

"I see. And you still haven’t told me about the pinnacle of Egoes. What did you see that made you think like that?" Pablo wanted to know.

"I am sure that what Jamal used there wasn’t teleportation. And since even the strongest Angel Andre was not able to see Jamal move then it only means one thing. He used his Ego. And if I have to say what his Ego did, then..."

Cupid gulped once more and finally told Pablo her thoughts about Jamal’s Ego.

"He stopped Time."

Silence.

Pablo spoke nothing.

He clearly heard what Cupid said and he didn’t know what to say.

Pablo wasn’t usually out of words but the Angel made him do that.

"What happened?" She asked.

Pablo sighed. A heavy and tired sigh.

"I am regretting why I listened to the system. I should have checked the Ego myself. It would have helped me kill the Woman faster."

Cupid shrugged her shoulders. "No use crying over that."

"And I don’t think his Ego is outright stopping time. It would be too much power. And I was able to keep it for one hour. If it was such a strong Ego then the time limit of me keeping it should be five or ten minutes. Don’t you think so?"

"You have a point. Maybe Jamal’s Ego has some conditions attached to it which makes it not all that strong?"

"Maybe. I have to copy it again to know the exact details."

"Yes. And what about Sera? Will you save her? Andre isn’t here. You can talk freely about it."

"Don’t worry. She’ll be fine. Her luck won’t let her die. And I will certainly try to find her. But it is very likely the Woman is dead so it will be hard to find Sera. Just don’t expect too much from me. And where is Andre if not here?"

"I don’t know. After healing your face, he disappeared. He is still around the castle though. I can feel it but he isn’t near your room."

"He must be angry at me. I will thank him for healing my face."

"You should and you should also say that you will find Sera. He will kill you for sure if you act all indifferent about Sera. He won’t mind being a fallen Angel."

"I know. I know."

Pablo stretched his hands. He yawned and pressed his own legs.

"Hmm?" Pablo felt something.

He looked at his hands next.

"Woah. What the hell?"

Pablo touched his biceps.

"When did I get such muscles? By sleeping for one week? What kind of regiment is that?"

Pablo raised his hands. He flexed his hands and for sure, he was jacked.

The calves of his legs were strong as well. Whatever took place with Pablo, that thing didn’t skip the leg day.

"Someone is coming." Pablo said.

"You also heard that?" Cupid asked, surprised.

"Was I not supposed to do that?"

"No. The same soldier who comes everyday to check on you must be coming but he is still far away from the room. I am surprised you heard his footsteps from here just like me." Cupid revealed and Pablo was now successfully tense.

"I heard something coming from that far? Just like you, an Angel? What is going on?"

"No comments." Cupid chose silence.

Pablo clicked his tongue and finally left the bed.

His legs weren’t numb anymore and his mind wasn’t in shambles as well.

He went to the bathroom, removed his shirt, and looked at himself in the big mirror.

"Holy shit. I finally got abs."

Pablo’s body was whole different now. His chest was bulkier, his hands were covered in veins. His forearms were thick.

He wasn’t an average weak boy anymore.

"My face is glowing better than before. I slept that hard?"

Pablo was now more charming.

He moved closer to the mirror and saw his face from all sides.

He liked the changes but his eyes fell on something.

"Huh?"

Pablo moved more close to the mirror and his eyes finally saw their own reflection.

And when it happened, those eyes went wide.

"My Eyes are red?"
