Reincarnated at Level Two Million - Chapter 79

“You are under arrest!” Camille shouted out as she rushed towards Zell.

“What?!” Zell replied, clearly confused by the situation.

“What’s an arrest?” Obsi asked.

“You are under arrest for the suspected murder of Jennifer Johnson fifteen years ago.” Camille said. “The crime my mother lost her career over!”

“Your mother?” Zell asked.

“Yes, she showed me your picture and told me that you were a god sent to stop the serial killer she was after!” Camille explained. “But God or not, my mother lost her career covering for your actions. She lost all her credibility and was treated like a dirty cop. I worked extra hard to climb to the rank she once had to clear her name!”

“Human, are you alright?” Sid asked.

“I am more than alright!” Camille responded. “I finally caught the bastard that ruined my mother’s life!”

“Look, you are not on Earth anymore.” Zell said. “I refuse to submit to any of those laws. I am sorry about your mother, but I only did what needed to be done. Besides, you could not arrest me if you tried.”

“Yes, new human.” Sunea said. “You are in a new world; you should forget the past and move on. This human is far stronger than you can ever imagine.”

“My mother told me of his incredible powers.” Camille said. “How he created a storm in a clear sunny sky. How he caused cuffs to rust into dust in an instant. Still though, justice demands to be served.”

“Serving justice is all I did!” Zell said. “That woman was about to slaughter a whole family, just like she did mine! The cops were nowhere to be seen! If I had not intervened how many lives would have been lost!”

“My mother would have caught her eventually!” Camille protested. “She was the best detective!”

“Tell me, what did your mother do after she lost her job?” Zell asked.

“She went into private security and protected the rich and powerful.” Camille said. “They paid her well, but she would never tell me anything about it, so I worry what might have gone on.”

“I see.” Zell said. “I still stand by what I did. How did you find yourself in this universe anyway? Is that bastard Steve involved in this?!”

“Steve?” Camille asked with a confused expression. “Steve Hollands? The police chief? No, I don’t think he had anything to do with it.”

“No, just Steve.” Zell said. “He is a god of time and space that I killed, who was later resurrected by his mother.”

“No there were no gods involved I think.” Camille replied. “I found myself in a room made of jade and a creepy little girl was there. Most of what she said was nonsense and made zero sense. She told me she was a queen, and she was looking for her brother. But she was really mad that I appeared instead. Then she started rambling about how she died, and it was her brother’s fault. She grabbed the evidence I had in my hand and then she vanished.”

“Rose summoned you here?” Zell asked. He thought for a moment and realized it all must be connected with this teleportation stone he forgot in his pants on Earth. “This jade room was your prison, Sid?”

“Yes.” Sid answered. “It is known as the chamber of sealing. It was created by the gods to trap any they deemed too powerful to let free but did not deserve a clean death.”

“So, if Rose summoned the stone there…” Zell said.

“She obviously meant to trap you there.” Sid said. “It seems through a twist of fate that did not happen.”

“Excuse me.” Camille said. “Can we get back to the issue at hand! This man or God or whatever here needs to pay for the crimes he committed fifteen years ago. Even if that woman was a serial killer, she deserved a fair trial and a jury of her peers. Justice should never be dealt out by a single person.”

“There is truth and there is childish ignorance in those words.” Sunea said. “To let one continue to destroy the lives of others when you have the power to stop them, that is unforgivable. If one stood by and watched as another died, simply because they waited for the proper authorities would that not be wrong as well? You cannot view the world in such a black and white manner. The vast amount of life is spent in the gray area.”

“Also, it sounds as though your mother’s life continued fine.” Xalador said. “Just because a change was forced on her does not mean it was a terrible thing. To grow and adapt to change is something unique to the mortal races. When gods are asked to change, they fight against it, even if it means countless others will suffer as a result.”

“It sounds like she was a woman of honor as well.” Excalibur said. “Even if it cost her everything she knew, she did not reveal the truths about our human friend here. She knew he did what was needed and knew the lives he had saved. What was done to her was truly an injustice, but what she did was justice in its truest sense.”

“I guess you are right.” Camille said softly. “Mother is happy with her retirement package she got from her last job. She actually told me I was foolish for following her original path. I just wanted to prove to everyone that my mother was a good person, that she did not deserve the treatment she got!”

“As long as you knew I am sure that was enough for her.” Sunea said.

“That’s… That’s what she always used to tell me.” Camille said.

“Because it is true.” Sunea smiled.

“Okay I am sorry for trying to arrest you Mr. God, sir.” Camille bowed in respect to Zell.

“Oh, I am not a god.” Zell said. “I was at that time, but not anymore. You can call me Zell. I am originally from the same world as you. After I died though I was sent here. Now I am caught in a game between the gods.”

“So, what exactly did that little girl mean when she said Zell killed me?” Camille asked, confused.
