Chapter 360: Split (5)

Perseus POV

"What do you want?"

I woke on my bed with the usual duo of Leilah and Buddy. Lilith and Maple are probably doing other things right now if they aren't reading on the bed. Dawn was on the bed this time, sitting and smiling at me.

Yesterday, I destroyed a couple more facilities of H.A.P.P.Y Solutions on the way back home, and sure enough, once I was home, I saw it being raided by police and unknown soldiers that aren't in any official government uniforms.

Even though their weapons were much more advanced, it was private. I killed some of those guys from the private groups and went to the bunker, which is a separate bunker from the ones where the other 2 are. I thought about meeting Brie, or Brianna. But I'm scared of messing her health up.

I just wanna say thank you for still representing people like us and educating the public.

"What's wrong with me just wanting to look at your cute face?" Dawn replied, "I'm surprised the girls didn't maul you to death."

"You'll be surprised at how easily they shut up when I kissed them...that worked for 5 mins and Maple used her date favor, and I had to take a pill just to handle the other 2 since I was a bit tired because of you. Ruka just slap me on the back...what's the world like?"

"It's not good," Dawn replied sadly, "The world's perception has shifted, and not in a positive way. Many people now believe that your actions have fueled discrimination against mutants and individuals like you."

I've definitely made things worse, but...the world really wants us gone anyway, and heck, they didn't even really about the stories that have come out of the escapees the past few days, like can you believe it?

And here I thought that the world was supposed to be progressive and everyone's equal, but not.

"What about the other victims?"

"They support your avenging mission," she responded with a tone that suggest that it isn't entirely positive, "However, they don't agree with your killing."

"One of the guys I killed used to be a serial murderer who assaulted mothers in front of their families, and some of the soldiers are abusive as hell, shit, some of them spat at me and laughed at my misery."

"Do you think people fully don't think that you're exaggerating?"

"Fine, but this is all-out war, either way, it was eventually gonna be like this and I only sped things up and rushed him."

"Yes, and I support you, if you're ever tired of my daughters, I'll take you on anytime. But they're sending Fiona Urgess after you, their strongest extinction class. She's an 8-star mage like you, but she's nicknamed Project: Sekhmet. That's a very powerful power."

"Egyptian goddess, great. Do we know any of the guys from the resistance? Like any group of guys who wanted to take Cain down?"

"I can get in contact with them, but they are very weak, they should stay low and keep the organization's hired abductors at bay."

"Fine, we already got 2 great help in Amora and Ace...how the hell is a cat so strong? Like what the hell?"

"Questioning about the multiverse will get you nowhere, in his universe, magic is based on the color of cores, and Perseus was offered a marriage with Athena, which he rejected."

"WHAT?!"

"Something to help smooth the chaos out or whatever."

"No offense, I'd take that offer, not for love, but she's a powerful and smart goddess, you'll benefit so much from that."

"You see the benefit, and he sees it as disloyalty, You are not the same...even if you're both technically just different versions of Perseus Silvers, who are all coincidentally fated to either save or destroy the world."

"Are you calling me a cheater?"

"I mean, you just slept with your girlfriend's mom and you also have a harem."

"That Perseus also has one."

"HE has 3, YOU have 5." She pointed out, "Anyway, what are you doing next?"

"You already know the answer to that, I'm gonna go all out. And it'll start with me destroying a lot more things and Lilith taking one of them stupid gods out."

3rd Person POV

Perseus' infamy has caused the world to give him the nickname of 'The Avenger', much to his self-satisfaction, however, the title is seen as a very negative name since over the next couple of days, a wave of turmoil swept across the world in the wake of the so-called avenger's rampage and the exposure of the pharmaceutical giant's darkest secrets.

|The narrator has been paid by Perseus to refer to him as 'The Avenger', I had no involvement.|

News outlets churned out headlines, each more sensational than the last, as they covered the Avenger's relentless pursuit of justice. Reports of his actions were splashed across screens and newspapers, painting a vivid picture of chaos and destruction. The world watched, transfixed, as this once-victim unleashed his wrath upon the corporation that had wronged him.

|Can I pay you extra to not call him that?|

But the avenger's actions were not isolated incidents. In a series of daring raids, the facilities of the pharmaceutical giant came under relentless attack. Explosions rocked their laboratories, and their research data was systematically either wiped out or sent to every news outlet the world has to offer.

Amidst the chaos, more victims emerged from the shadows. People who had suffered in silence for years now found the courage to come forward, sharing stories of illegal experimentation and abuse at the hands of the pharmaceutical giant. 

The doubt started to creep into people's minds and their actions raised a lot of questions.

But amidst the turmoil, little did the world know that a televangelist, shrouded in his web of deceit, was about to face a reckoning far more ominous than he could ever have imagined.

It was his impending doom.
