The alleyway the place the person and Arsene stood was darkish and gloomy.

“It’s superb the way you managed to discover a place like this.”

The person in entrance of Arsene was all the time current in such alleyways.

He ate up the concern of these getting ready to loss of life in locations like this, thereby rising stronger. That’s how he bought the title of God.

To reinforce his personal energy, he threatened and preyed on the deaths of others. He mocked and trampled upon the prayers begging for mercy earlier than him.

He even defied conflict for amusement. His energy had turn into grotesquely immense, however maybe nobody may have guessed that it might ultimately flip in opposition to him.

No, everybody is aware of besides him.

“A god who thrives on concern gained’t final lengthy.”

After putting deathly concern into the hearts of many for a time, he step by step fell. As a result of nobody worshipped him anymore.

A god who shouldn’t be wanted is ineffective. All the opposite gods and their worshippers checked out him and stated it was inevitable.

Arsene additionally thought the identical method. It was as a result of he occurred to witness it. A woman, not more than ten years previous, was affected by a extreme fever.

No doctor may diagnose her sickness, and the villagers noticed her as ominous and chased the mother and father and little one away.

With desperation, the mother and father sought out the god of loss of life because the straw. The god of loss of life smiled compassionately and stated that to be able to save the woman, she should devour a sure herb.

Arsene puzzled what the god’s intention was for offering assist. A small mercy, maybe.

He may need been sympathetic to the little woman, gasping for air and barely holding on to life along with her tiny, slender physique.

The couple, who appeared too younger to be the kid’s mother and father, had searched the mountains for 2 days to seek out some herbs, however the little one had already died.

‘Ah, I forgot to say it. The kid solely has someday left.’

The god of loss of life disgustingly stated to the despairing couple.

If solely they’d come slightly earlier.

Watching that scene, Arsene understood why his as soon as compassionate and affectionate god grew to become chilly and detached when it got here to that story.

Recalling how small Mary was, he contemplated how merciless and despicable the person was at the moment.

He grew to become a god primarily based on the fears of people.

By seizing management over their life and loss of life, trampling upon their desperation, he had already misplaced the fitting to be known as a god.

What human being would hunt down a god of loss of life once they have been drained and weary, once they have been comfortable and joyful?

Oh, there was one individual.

“Are you loopy?”

Arsene roughly grabbed the arm of the woman who was praying in entrance of the god of loss of life’s statue. Her black eyes have been stuffed with confusion.

Arsene needed to suppress the urge to kick the stone she was praying to, whereas taking a look at her harmless and innocent eyes.

“I informed you by no means to return right here!”

“However…….”

“However what?”

With a powerful grip, he pulled her arm forcefully, inflicting her to let loose a pant.

She flailed as if she have been going to fall, however it didn’t matter to Arsene, who was already livid.

“Arsene, are you indignant?”

“Wouldn’t you be if you happen to have been me?”

“I’m sorry. I do know I shouldn’t be right here, however I really feel sorry for him.”

“Sorry?”

Arsene stood nonetheless, his expression frozen.

“What number of occasions do I’ve to let you know how nasty and dreary that god is?”

“Oh, that’s actually……. I’m going to get a scab in my ear.”

Her black pupils shimmered as they caught the daylight, like a sophisticated stone. Her mild smile disarmed her opponent.

“You’re going to maintain praying even after I’m not right here, proper?”

Arsene, who had a barely loosened face once more, persistently requested. She averted her gaze from his query..

Though she didn’t reply, her face betrayed all her feelings, permitting Arsene to listen to the reply loud and clear.

“I imply, I can’t come and watch you on a regular basis…”

“If I don’t hear, will you come typically?”

When Arsene spoke with a touch of coercion, her eyes lit up. Arsene bit his tongue, watching her reflection.

She lived in a temple removed from the village. Generally, when Arsene came over, she can be so comfortable to see him that tears would properly up in her eyes.

The gods watched over her from afar, answering her prayers, however that was all. She had no mother and father, no siblings.

Each on occasion, she would entertain a worshiper, however because the temple was in the midst of nowhere, they have been few and much between.

“I’m sorry. Did I bother you once more?”

Seeing Arsene silently taking a look at her, she rapidly apologized. Arsene gently stroked her head.

Arsene has been watching over her since she was very younger.

He wished to be there for her, to ensure she wasn’t lonely, however he couldn’t depart now that he had a lot to study from the gods.

“I’m much more sorry.”

“I’ll hearken to you, Arsene. The truth is, I prefer it higher while you come to go to generally. Being near you makes me admire your presence much more.”

“I’ll come extra typically.”

She regained her smile at Arsene’s promise to return extra typically, calming him down.

Arsene didn’t overlook to remind her once more.

“By no means, by no means, by no means pray. No, don’t even have a look at it.”

“Sure, sure, however…….”

“What’s the matter once more?”

As she nodded her head assertively, Arsene’s expression hardened, anticipating one other argument.

She narrowed her shoulders when she noticed Arsene’s chilly expression. Then she stated, wriggling her fingers.

“It’s simply so unhappy that nobody prays for him…”

“Nobody is praying for him, so I’m telling you to not both.”

“Shouldn’t I pray for him?”

Arsene was speechless.

“I can’t even enter the temple… I really feel like I can’t enter the village for some cause. I seem like a loner. With no household.”

“Why are you a loner?”

At her lamenting phrases about her state of affairs, Arsene grabbed her shoulders.

Her eyes widened on the grip, however then she laughed once more and stroked his hair.

“That’s proper, I’ve Arsene.”

Why did she say she favored it when he often came over?

Why did she come operating in the direction of him each time like an keen pet, though he didn’t converse kindly and informed her to not do issues?

Arsene felt so sorry for her, who’s a lot smaller than him and a lot youthful than him.

“…Let’s restrict it to as soon as per week.”

“What?”

“Praying to that factor.”

Arsene grumbled, and he or she hugged him as if discovering his grumpiness lovely. Being embraced by her in her arms felt valuable to him.

There are lots of forms of love and affection on the earth. Arsene felt certainly one of them for her.

Due to that, he wished to present her every thing she wished.

However he couldn’t.

“So the place did you cover Mary?”

The person’s voice was determined. It was a voice that was nearly heartbreaking to listen to. Arsene scratched his head with an irritated contact.

A part of him wished to kill the person in entrance of him proper now, however he clenched his fists and persevered.

“Why did you name Tia Bluea right here?”

“Tia Bluea?”

The person laughed as he walked again to Arsene. Arsene leaned in opposition to the wall and appeared up on the man.

If he ever noticed her once more, he would shield her from this man, it doesn’t matter what. He had nearly misplaced her to this man greater than as soon as.

“The place is Sofia?”

“I don’t know. She’s most likely asleep someplace.”

“Mary is searching for her.”

“I actually don’t perceive her selflessness.”

The person stated so, however he appeared happy that Mary had requested about it.

Discovering traces of kindness and tenderness in Mary was a really pleasing sight to him.

“Arsene, I’m not in a rush in any respect.”

“What would you like me to do?”

“I would like Mary Conler again.. That is simply… an act of rebel. that, proper? Summoning Tia Bluea to this dimension.”

“Via Sofia Bruno……….”

“It’s solely a matter of time earlier than we flip the time dimension.”

“That’s fascinating.”

Arsene tried to be as relaxed as attainable.

“We’re nearly there, however there are nonetheless quite a lot of variables.”

“…….”

“Properly, there should be many.”

“Communicate your thoughts freely. Carry Mary Conler again as quickly as attainable.”

The person turned away from Arsene. He appeared like he wished to get out of Arsene’s presence rapidly.

“I’ve some enterprise to take care of earlier than discovering Mary. Was it Demimore Arstans?”

The person’s violet eyes lit up on the disagreeable sound of the title.
