The Villain’s Light - Chapter 93

It was not news to Reif that his power is the power to destroy. He is even confident that in the whole world, he has the highest destructive power as long as the difference in strength is not too large

From his big brother’s stories, he even became the strongest person in the world. Only because Nath has a lot of subordinates that caused Reif to lose

If Reif can destroy any physical thing, could his power also destroy something that doesn’t exist in the physical world?

“Our powers don’t discriminate. Whether it be physical, magical, spiritual, or even beyond that, our powers could destroy it forcefully!” The older Reif continued, filling the younger man a ton of questions

“What exactly do you mean? What could we destroy?” Reif questioned curiously and the crimson-colored world around him instantly changes

The numerous Reif around vanishes or more like turned into globes of light, appearing mystical. At first, Reif only thought that those globes were beautiful but when he focused his senses on them, he instantly became shocked

Are those what he thinks they are?

“With our power, even the fabrics of reality could be destroyed! All of the globes you can see around are our former lives before we destroyed time, space, and reality”

“In short, the things that happened in our lives were completely erased! The future was destroyed as if it didn’t happen at all!

Reif gasp at hearing that. Just what kind of power could enable someone to do that?

It didn’t just destroy the world, it destroyed an entire timeline!

To understand it easier, let’s say that Reif grew until he was fifty years old. He was already a bit old at that but then he destroyed the fabric of reality itself

The reality from his 50 years of age down to his 15 years of age was destroyed, vanished, and erased!

It was like the things that happened after Reif’s 15th birthday didn’t happen at all. They were literally erased! The future was erased!

This is simply too incredulous! A new that no one might believe even Reif himself!

“Countless futures have been destroyed by us. Erasing them in the hopes that our lives would change and we would gain a light”

“However, even after countless future has been destroyed, we failed. We all failed, except for you. Only you have gained light and possibly also the last of us since we wouldn’t be able to destroy reality anymore. We couldn’t go back in time again even if we want to”

“Do you know why you succeeded in having someone that we desperately wanted?”

How is the Reif of the current time different from the past version of himself that erases their reality?

How did he gain a light when the countless others before him failed?

Reif sank into deep thought before he realizes something

“Rhash… Big brother… he’s originally not an inhabitant of this world” Reif ended up in that conclusion

His big brother has been completely honest and transparent to him. He even sometimes heard stories about the world Rhash lived in before

Not to mention, the older Reif also said something earlier. It’s like there is a force in this world that is preventing him from receiving loved

The current Reif didn’t do anything special yet he succeeded in gaining what the countless version of himself failed to gain

He could only credit that to Rhash originally not being a person of this world

“Although you are the most disgusting version of us, you are right!” The older man said in contempt

“If we were to guess, this world is similar to a book where everything is already predestined. A book where ‘Reif’ is fated to not receive even just a little bit of love”

“We have tried countless of times to receive love yet with the millions of people in this world, we always failed. We could only credit that to an unknown force that could affect our destiny”

“Since no matter who we pick in this world, they wouldn’t love us then… why don’t we pick someone that is not in this world. Someone that would not be affected by that force we theorize?”

Now, things make more sense to Reif. Turns out that it was actually himself that brought his big brother into this world

To others, destroying the reality itself just to gain love might be a foolish, laughable,  and edgy thing

However, what if they tried to rewrite their future hundreds, thousands, hundred thousand, or even millions of times yet in all those lives, no one would love you. Just how would that person feel? How obsessive they would be even for a single drop of love?

To others, Reif is a maniac but that is only because they didn’t experience the same thing

“We, Reif succeeded in bringing a person from another world into our world. We even gave that person a special body…”

Special body… Rhash’s body is indeed special. His healing capabilities were simply mystical. Not to mention, the talent was also top-not

“…. A special body that would require us to continue living. It was an assurance that the otherworld person would need us”

The older Reif’s obsession starts to leak out. To think that Rhash possessing such a monstrous body along with only being capable of surviving with Reif’s presence is deliberately done… terrifying

One’s obsession that was honed for countless years was really terrifying. That person is simply twisted

However, despite feeling some guilt, a large part of that guilt is because Reif actually was relieved of that arrangement

It forces his big brother to be with him, to need him. If Rhash doesn’t need his blood to survive, would he ignore Reif?

Although Reif is sure that his big brother is not that kind of person, just thinking about a future without his light is enough to make him feel the greatest fear he could ever experience

“After bringing your light, our light, we can instinctively feel that the theorized force wouldn’t let us erase reality to start over again. That means, we only have this chance to have the future and life that we yearned for countless years”

“You, a shit head that tried to give up on life are not allowed to fail us! You will continue living while receiving love, you understand that?!”

Reif nodded his head at that. After learning all the things he had learned today, no matter what happens, no matter how great of pain he receives, he couldn’t even think about giving up again

“This is the first and last time that we could help you directly. Don’t fucking disappoint us!”

After saying that, the globes of the erased futures returned into Reifs before they all dissipated into countless motes of light that entered the current Reif

——

Rhash’s aura was as weak as it could be. Only the slightest bit of life force can be sensed from his body and even that bit of lifeforce is already dissipating

It would only be seconds before he lose his life

‘I’m sorry Reif, I have failed you’ Rhash apologizes in his mind as his body starts falling down the ground

However, instead of sensing the cold and hard ground, Rhash was instead caught by a twig-like arm yet even then, it still feels warm

Rhash used up the last bit of his strength to look at the person that caught him and he saw Reif’s sickly pale face

A face that is even thinner than the first time they had met. Although Rhash is guilty for failing Reif, he was still glad that it was him that he would see before he dies

“Sleep well, big brother” Reif said gently before kissing Rhash on the forehead

As soon as that happens, a bright crimson pillar appeared with Reif as the center

The pillar even easily pierced through the barrier that Nath’s subordinates have created

The world shake in fear. An earthquake with a magnitude that has never been seen before took place

The ground cracked into countless tiny pieces as if the Gods themselves were angered

The skies were painted with a crimson color that looks like a sign of an apocalypse

“H-how could this be?!” Nath shouted in shock yet the intensity of this crimson light was too much even for him to handle

The barriers that the church is proud of cracked into tiny pieces. The weaker paladins and priests died just by being near the crimson light

Even Nath was forced to retreat if he wants to continue living

It was like the wrath of the world has descended as violent winds appeared that raged and destroyed everything in their path

In the middle of that crimson light was a single man. Rhash was nowhere to be seen anymore and only Reif

When Reif woke up, he was still as thin as before since it has been years since he went into a coma

However, in just a matter of seconds, his body returned back to normal. No, it even exceeds that!
