**********

In a spacious hall Kylo was standing on a platform, few meters above the land.

Behind him stood Elena and Selena respectfully while releasing their full cultivation base pressure.

Yes Kylo bought Selena along with him before they left the room.

Below them were the hundred soldiers and the one general ‘chosen’ to be alive.

Kylo already had plans for them. He didn’t keep them alive because of his promise but because of his plans.

Kylo doesn’t believe in the word promise. As long as it wasn’t {Dao Oath}.

Many promises had been made and many had been broken in his entire life.

And above anything else he is a devil. The race itself has the word ‘evil’ in its hands.

How could he be righteous enough to keep promises?

In fact him showing affection to his concubines and just being a neutral evil was a miracle in itself.

The reason Devils are hated because they do whatever they want without caring about the consequences.

For instance, if there is someone who offended a devil, even if he’s a prince of a dynasty, as long as the devil is strong he will kill the prince without caring about his background.

For instance, irrespective of the character of the people, righteous or evil, as long as they are enemy, they’ll kill without caring about the people.

But even they who cause trouble all the time, have a bottom line.

And the bottom line wasn’t because of something being evil but because of their pride and arrogance.

For example they disdain raping. It’s not because it’s considered evil by the masses.

But because they don’t consider anyone untouchable.

All the devils believe that there is no man/woman they can’t get.

After all they were believed to pinnacle existences by many.

Every single devils are handsome and beautiful in their own right.

For example they disdain stealing.

Again because they believe there isn’t anyone undefeatable except themselves.

Even if there’s someone stronger than them, if the devils are given time, they are confident to beat those powerhouses before stealing item from them.

But then again, their arrogance is also their downfall.

Countless such devils, irrespective of their strength or status, have fallen mostly because of their arrogance.

And that is why Kylo could be said to be the rarest exception, as he is someone with talent of a devil even though his behaviour is far different from someone of his own race.

Anyways Kylo now looked at the people kneeling in front of him and the only emotion revealed in their eyes is fear.

Was that fear directed towards him or for the powerhouses behind him was yet to be known.

“You guys, as I have already said, I am giving you the chance to be alive.”

“Keeping my promise to you all, you won’t be killed.”

In fact they were just recently awakened.

The moment Lena came back with them from the battleground on Kylo’s order, Elena pushed them into a formation and they immediately fell unconcious.

And Elena woke them up few minutes back when Kylo decided to meet them.

“T-thank you very much your excellency. T-then can we leave?”

Asked the general kneeling at the very front with slight happiness in his tone.

The general was none other than the muscular general with a scar on his face. (A/N1)

“I said I will let you be alive… But I never said you can go back to your own state…”

Seeing their hopes collapsing and despair rising once again Kylo’s lips curled into a smile.

“B-but…”

“W-we even killed our friends and brothers! What do you want now!?”

“P-please let us leave! We will never come back. We swear!!”

The soldiers got agitated. Despair and anger started bubbling which eventually turned into begging.

Seeing them misbehaving Elena released her pressure and Selena immediately followed her sister.

And this move from the sisters immediately caused the knneling soldiers to cough up blood.

After all they were still injured.

But that doesn’t matter because even if they were fully healed, they could never hope to beat a True King not to mention now there are two in front of them!

“M-mercy, my soldiers didn’t mean that! Please let us know what we need to do…”

The general immediately bowed knowing their lives were in danger.

His spirit was already broken after being ‘forced’ to kill other generals.

Now all he wants is to keep the soldiers behind him alive.

“Actual it’s simple…”

Putting his hands in the back Kylo started floating and stopped near them.

“From what I observed among you guys, you guys are evil who are willing to kill anyone to survive.”

Seeing the expressions on their faces Kylo knew they didn’t want to be labelled as ‘evil’.

“But you guys believe you are in the right side.”

“You all are nothing but hypocrites who can kill your ‘friends and brothers’ to survive.”

“Yet you still call yourself righteous. Hahahaha”

“This just makes you guys pathetic excuse of human beings.”

Kylo’s laughter roared in this spacious hall.

Everyone’s expression crumbled. Because deep inside their heart, they all knew what Kylo said was plain truth.

But nobody said this because they didn’t want to be ridden by guilt.

Yet those things were laid bare. Many of their eyes became bloodshot from anger.

Kylo laughed not because to scare them. But because he truly found them funny.

If they were really ‘good’ why don’t they just sacrifice themselves for the sake of their so called brothers and friends.

In the end everyone is selfish. They all move for their own selves.

Only in the face of danger would be shown the true and ugly face of humanity.

“Hahahahaha. Don’t look at me with those faces. Deep inside your heart you all know you are nothing but evil.”

“If the other people know about it they will instantly abandon you and label you as evil.”

“Heck, forget about other people, what about…. your family and real friends?”

At this point Kylo stopped and noticed everyone’s expression.

Most… nope. All of them had already broken down at this point.

Kylo suppressed his urge to laugh and continued

“You all should also know, forget about abandoning you, they will also start hating you and might even want to kill you.”

“Imagine being hated by those people you wanted to see do bad that you killed your ‘friends and brothers’.”

Many already started crying thinking of what Kylo said. Even the general had a blank expression on his face.

It was because Kylo was right… yet again.

They killed their brothers in order to survive and return to the family.

But the consequences of their action was leading them even further away from their family.

Having your family hate you and live in shame wad even worse than death for them.

Looking at their broken expressions Kylo grinned and said

“But this could all be avoided.”

Hearing this they all looked towards the floating Kylo.

“This will only happen if they know about the truth of the situation.”

Hope started shining in their eyes. That’s right! All they need to do is just hide from their families.

But how? Looking at them gazing towards him, Kylo continued

“You all have only one choice now. Come under me.”

“I will save your integrity and face. I will be there to protect your friends and family.”

They wanted to doubt, but they neither had the power nor were they in their right mind to think straight.

Spreading his hands Kylo spoke further

“Follow me. Obey my orders. Be my slave. You will be able to see what it’s like to stand at the top of the world.”

“Disobey me. Stand against me. Then… that’s it. Everyone will perish.”

“I repeat. Everyone.”

Kylo’s killing slowly spread over them. Fear was evident in their eyes.

They shuddered thinking how their life depended on this being in front of them.

But that wasn’t for long. It didn’t take even a minute as all of their eyes shone with determination in the next second.
