Chapter 94: Separation

Perseus POV

After I got a bit more info out of the guy, it got me really thinking of whether I should kill a few of these guys. 3 of the group are the ones who's making me thinking all this, the yellow rose guardian, the lord of the yellow rose, and the cardinal of the eastern church of the spring god, but killing just the lord of the yellow rose will also eliminate the guardian, so we can say 2 instead of 3 if we want.

A cardinal and the yellow rose is involved, now that's difficult, even if I possess the power to kill them, it'll cause me more trouble than good, especially the lord of the yellow rose, it'll take about 5 years at least to locate the yellow rose again, a couple more months till someone prove themselves worthy.

And if it respawn at a demon continent, a balance is broken and the demon lord may wage war earlier. As for the cardinal, I'll definitely end up public enemy at the eastern continent and ranked at least amongst top 10 amongst their hitlist. So I need to take those 2 out of the equation for now.

"Give me the names, all of it."

As he list it down, I noted it all down, their occupation, known base, known place of meeting and many info as I could.

"Is that all?"

"Yes sir." he nodded

"Alright, I'll spare your life, but you have to track down the family of the victims and compensate every single one of them anonymously, as for those who don't find the money equivalent and give them to charity." I used my powers behind these words "And if you even think of reporting this to anyone else and tell anyone of our interaction, kill yourself. As for your so call colleagues, avoid them."

I then stop using my power.

"Leave before the play, find an excuse, if you still stay behind, I will kill you along with everyone else."

"Yes, sir. I will." he nodded profusely and I can hear the relief in his voice

"Before I let you go, give me all the call crystals to your contacts."

3rd Person POV

All of the people responsible for the kraken's rage and the false accusation picked up all their call and Perseus changed his voice to sound similar to the owner and tell all of them to wait for the rest to pick up so he can tell them all at once, once they did, he changed his voice back.

"I want you all to listen to me and listen carefully, I will look for you, I will pursue you, and by the time of summer solstice, I will kill you, but...before I kill you, I will make you all suffer pain so indescribable and unimaginable, you will struggle and beg till you wish for the sweet release of death, eventually, I will give you that gift, but just know that when you wake up in hell, you won't find peace...cuz I'll be there...waiting for you."

He then crushed all the crystals after he left his threat that he modelled after Liam Neeson's.

Perseus POV

Summer solstice? That's a couple months away, it's only almost new years on my end, that should give me time, I don't actually plan to kill all of em by then, after all, the best despair is when you crush it fully after they receive a moment of hope, they will hole up till then, and when they get out, well, they'll regret it.

"I can still sense him being alive." Lilith said "I thought you'd kill him."

"Didn't even need to use my powers for him to start spilling, but since he's cooperative, I plan on using him a bit, after all, I contacted the rest from his crystals, they're now gonna start suspecting spies and sort themselves out.

"Not just that, some will definitely try to come on my side, I don't really intend of turning them in and fear the possibility of corruption causing them to just suffer a fucking house arrest or some privileged imprisonment."

"Infighting? That's your great plan?" she questioned

"No, it'll take out about 6 people at best, but suspicion will cause them to lesser their contact with each other, so it'll cause them to be weak and separate as I go for em one by one. By the way, do you know of the eastern church discrimination?"

"Did you just learn that?" she raised an eyebrow "I hate those stupid folk, they are discriminating against fellow humans as well, it's not well documented in the human kingdoms, but it's very prevalent in the demon world, though it's only a minor few, so you don't have to worry too much...for now."

"Well I just made an enemy of em by threatening their cardinal and possibly the yellow rose."

I said possibly because the yellow rose and its lord are the only ones who can only be contacted through the cardinal, those 2 are the biggest boss with the cardinal coming right after, but...

The lord of the yellow rose is gonna be hard to kill, and if he's in contact with the cardinal, he's definitely one of the people I need to along with the heroes after the killing of the demon lord, that's the best occasion to kill him, but I hate the fact that I have to wait such a long time.

I now need a plan on kill those who are here, they know that I'm here at the southern continent now, they know that and it scares them since I definitely got past security checkpoints without being noticed, and I'm clearly not scared of killing my accusers while having suspicion casted upon me.

Just when I thought Sheela was one of the people though, she wasn't, but she did make contact with the group and asked around a bit, she was curious about the chances of me being punished and once she realized the chances of them only being able to delay it and keep me away, she backed out. She'll get her time.
