Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 878 : Why didn’t you [1/2]

It was a common mechanic in video games. To introduce you to an enemy that was horribly overpowered. I had guessed that it was somehow to get the competitive spirit of the player burning.

My first encounter with such a thing was in a Final Fantasy 7. It had a big ass snake called the Midgard Zolom. That fucking piece of shit ripped me apart the first time I tried to fight it. Despite the repeated game overs, I tried and died to it over ten times.

Eventually I had to accept that it was not possible at that point in my game and move on. I had to run from it again and again as I passed the area. I felt my honor and self-respect chip every time I did so. As the game progressed though, my moment came.

And when it did, I fucking relished it with a passion. I came to that area and fucking butchered that snake again and again just for the sake of it. It gave me neither items nor good experience. It was just for the joy of overcoming my past.

I had learned from then on that it was extremely good game design. And one that made people feel the progression as they got stronger. Course now that I was a Reaper, I knew that it was not just a game mechanic. It was like everything else a fucking lesson.

The Successor with me in Africa. My so-called brother was just like that big ass snake. I could try dying to him again and again but unlike in the game, I had much to lose. My girls would all die, if I made a mistake. As I was their man, their lives were my responsibility.

And I would play with everyone else's loves except those of my family and my harem. So, if I could run from a snake then. I could do so now. It wasn't because I was afraid of him. It was because my time had yet to arrive. Fighting spirit coursed through my veins.

Much like that snake. When I grew strong enough, I would butcher this fucker again and again for the sheer joy of it. All the shame, I had to swallow now, I would pay back in full. The thought of ripping his arms apart and shooting APFSDS tank rounds at him made me smile.

The girls who felt the blood lust in my veins calmed down, significantly. This was what I learned while dealing with my harem. Going against them made them resist. Joining them on the other hand usually made them more agreeable. The reason for that was…

'Beloved. Please stop. I admit I shamefully panicked over something that had yet to happen. You are scaring me. Come back. I will try to be more careful.'

'My goodness, would there be anything left of him afterwards, Dearest? I apologize for getting ahead of myself, you made your point. Stop. Although, I do find it quite sexy…'

'Fuck me dead, Possum. You link is too much! How can you want to kill someone that badly! I'm sorry okay! I know I fucked up. Calm down now. Please?'

'Wow! That's a lot of damage! Even bear would die if they felt that! I never thought you were scared Darling. I just wanted to fuck him up for you. It's okay, now!'

'Ugh, Mr. Code. Just how many bastards did you kill in the lower flowers? Your Death Resonance is practically solid now! It's even more tangible than Jo's! I get it already, stop!'

'Husband, your majesty fills me with joy. Forgive me for my assuming you would act on impulse. You are not stupid and would never put us at risk. Thank you for the reminder.'

'Anata, I will see to it that when we meet him in combat he will suffer. This stain in your honor, I will wash it with his blood. Someday, I hope to be the one to cleave his head off.'

There were those who grew afraid of me. Others answered my emotion with trust and support. While they each had their own way of understanding me, I loved them all regardless.

'It's okay everyone. There is nothing to forgive. I know you all just love me a lot. But please rescind your orders to Hellsend. Apart from those reaching out to Specters, have everyone else resume their work,' I answered.

They all agreed. I asked Exa to disseminate the instructions as answering emails was a fucking pain. Plus, I answered enough for seven lifetimes when I was human.

'Dearest, I will have the Hammer team stay in Hell's Eden for now. We have begun preparing the plans to reclaim Antarctica. I believe his would be a better use of time that to walk around Africa. However, should you require assistance, summon us.'

'Okay, thank you Lilly. I will try not to miss you three, no matter how impossible that may be. In fact, I think I failed already. I miss you all right now.'

'Hmph, Husband your glib tongue will earn you many admirers there. All while I slave away for your wishes. Remember the wives you left at home! Do not take in more lovers, or I will kill them all when we meet!'

'Jas, I think that will start a war with Africa will it not? Beloved, I know you would not do something so foolish as seduce women over there. But I agree with Jas. For our benefit, please do not speak to any woman.'

Hearing such an adorable request I chuckled while sending my entire harem positive emotions. Normally such requests were red flags, but as it came from my girls, I found it extremely cute. They were just as scared of losing me as I was of losing them.

'Okay, I will have Amari speak for me if women are involved. Does that work? I won't cheat. You only cheat when you are unhappy with your partner. That doesn't apply to me as my harem is perfect. After we finish our matters here, we will head straight home. I promise.'

'But Possum, I thought butchering the demons in Kismayo was all you wanted to do. We didn't even get to do much, since the Nutjob sucked them dry like a vampire. What else are we even here for? You plan to help the gorilla win the crown?'

'Speaking of which, Jo, are you okay? The malice from so many must have taken a toll, we couldn't join due for some reason, but I saw Exa's footage. I am overjoyed you successfully completed an Astral possession safely. But malice wise, how is everyone?'

'I am fine Sis! Vela took all the malice away. She said she needed to sleep on it a bit to digest it or something. She sounds like Alpy in a way. But anyway, I am good! Darling took care of me really well. Everyone else had their rings cast {Rejuvenate} so we are good!'

'Apart from Jo and Honey having Soul Collapse episodes, the rest of us are fine. The entire city was butchered so the malice in the air is extremely suffocating. But our benevols are making it work, somehow. {Rejuvenate} is incredibly useful. I hardly hear voices at all.'

'Eh, you think? Well, look, I don't quite see it that way. First of all, apart from me earlier, Bella, Aki and the nutjob were all too high strung. Possum was the worse. Just fighting in this place is hard. The malice is too thick, messes with our heads, we need better gear.'

'I see. Then I will relay that to the production teams, something similar might happen in Antarctica. On that note Dearest. Please share what your grand plan is? We are looking for the Successor with satellites but it's hard since we don't know what he looks like.'

Suddenly being called out caused me to flinch. Better than having a video call, my harem and I were discussing with minimal lag while being separated by hell and earth. I took a deep breath before I began to explain.

'I intend to have the Awakened cleanse the Immortal of his malice. It's a win-win as the Awakened would grow and we could have Hannibal owe us.'

'…' x7

'What?'

'Honey, let me get this straight, you fucking plan to waltz into where the Revenant is and tell him we can clean his malice? And expose the Awakened to them, here in Africa?'

Somehow the tone of Bella's voice felt a bit off. Did I perhaps miss something, I was about to ask before Robyn confirmed what I suspected.
