Chapter 237: Love and hate (2)

"Will you be able to win?" Anthony asked

"I don't know, he serves someone who I have no clue about"

-Your future self did, I'm sure that we could do it too- Diana reassured

-One of a possible future- Siege pointed out -We can still fail-

-Albert, Aenon, Cecily and Eleanor are listening from the other side of that door, aren't they?-

-Yeah, they just arrived- Damon answered -But it's good that they're listening, we need the help-

"To think that our enemy would be someone as trivial as a love god" Anthony sighs "I do not know that whether it is a blessing that I wouldn't live to see it happen or a curse that I can't do more to help. Maybe I should've trusted Sir Jake when he said that you are a god reincarnate"

"I'm not, but I can contact a few. I currently have very few gods on my side, and even then I don't even know whether they'll join the fight, the gods are divided, some fear Eros' side and wish to join for safety. And my life is particularly in danger, in every timeline, I stopped them the most.

"Eros might let me live for entertainment, but I doubt his foot soldiers will think the same, to put every world in chaos, the need to destroy their opposition first and they aren't afraid of showing themselves to the world"

-Yeah, basically, you're saying that we're fucked- Ace concluded

-Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying-

-Well in a year, when I win the competition and become a dragon lord...I think that I'll just fool around with female dragons and wait for my death- Damon chimed in -I wouldn't actually do it FYI-

-I wouldn't blame you, but I know that you won't. Let's hope the vampire king can retire soon, I need to become king and get 'that'. But before all that, we need to help find Diana's background-

-Well I'm trying to find out more about the demon lord's kin, the true demons for a while now, but that section of the library is big- Dabria commented -It shouldn't take long though-

-Well like I said, I already made my peace on not finding out about my background a long time ago, it's fine if we don't. Imagine if I'm some sort of goddess reincarnation- Diana said -Though that might be a bit optimistic-

*****

"Perseus, was what you saying in there true?" Aenon asked

"Right, Rex has said that you and Albert were knocked out when Eros appeared, but yeah. We'll be facing gods and even possibly titans from now on, so train hard, even both my girlfriends are doing something about it"

"Since when did you started dating 2 people?" Eleanor asked

"Well good luck everyone, I suggest that you all become pure corrupteds at least if you want to stand a chance. You're going to take some lives if you want to protect the ones you love"

*****

"That's your demon form?" Lia asked as me and my bonds sit in a circle in our demon forms.

"Yeah, only pure corrupteds can turn into one." Damon replied "Even the pills that is made from sacrificing people's lives have the same effect, just way inferior"

We are expelling our corrupted energy and condensing it into a pill. Most of the other executives done this a lot, so they can do it all by themselves.

"Alright you 2, the pill is done, and here is my vials of blood. Last chance to back out, I hate and do not have a care for fate, even if you don't have that bloodline, I would have used some protagonist bullshit that I pull out of my ass and give this novel a happy ending"

"And he also got a literal plot armor" Damon added "Plus that ring that can absorb most magic attacks and grows stronger alongside him"

"His eyes also have powers given to him by a god and he can eat magic spells, has a goddess by his side, and is the son of a powerful minor god" Ace added "You should put that on your resume"

"Maybe make your life a movie, while you're at it" Damon suggested

"Don't worry, I can the anime already being confirmed. My voice actor will be 'insert-name-here' "

| Now hold on, just a minute there |

"Yeah, I mean I also have the same voice actor" Siege joined in

| Stop it right there! |

"Ok that's the blood done, disgusting" Eliza gagged "So I just pop the pill, right? Nothing else?"

"I'm so tempted to make a joke, but yes. You 2, please be warned again. It's very very painful, the worst pain that you're going to experience in your life...I know what joke that you're going to make, Lia, don't"

"So I know that we're repeating a lot, but once you can control the power, for a brief moment, you will turn into your demon form and destroy the surrounding a bit" Damon explained "But it's fine, Zach's personal training grounds can handle the stress and we're also going to be fine, we'll be sitting safely in Dabria's barrier and watch over you"

"Yeah, just think of good and happy thoughts...and don't pass out"

They both then took the pill, and as you can imagine, it looked pretty painful. Yeah...I can sympathize, but if I was asked feel the pain again to save a random person, just know that the answer is no.

| You are one terrible guy |

I know. Mostly I was joking, but at the same time, yeah, if it's a random person, they can can just suffer like I did. Me and my bonds survived, surely they can too.

-Sorry to interrupt your narration, but that's only because you're a reincarnate- Dabria pointed out

*****

"Sorry, we could do more to help" Diana apologized as she used healing magic to ease their pain

"You went...through this?" Lia groaned as the process is done

"Yeah, similar thing when I turned into a dhampir. Painful, isn't it?" I said as I crouch next to her

"I hate you"

"I know, I love you too"

"I'm really confuse at your interaction sometimes" Damon sighs

-I still don't understand why she likes you- Dabria responded

"Is becoming a celestial going to be painful too?" Eliza asked

"Well, you're going to need a bit of rest after this, but as for if it hurts. It'll hurt me more than the rest of you, since if it's my luck, being the protagonist, the test will probably have something to do with my past"

"What he means is that it's because all of us here knows that he is a reincarnate, the chances of the test being his past is high" Siege corrected

"And us bonds also knows his memories, so that make the chances going even higher" Diana added

"Yeah, Diana cried. Ace found it interesting, and I cried a couple of times when Phobetor made me relive the death of my siblings, so prepare yourselves
