Chapter 141 – Investigation – Part 4.

"….""Hm…..." "Well, you made a valid point." – said shadow mask. "True. Unless you were some sort of extremely foolish and innocent kid, then who the hell would fall for the "I have a candy" thing." "But if it's a just our objective…Hm… I guess I can say this." "We want to free our world." "?" "Free?" – asked Phantasia. "Yes." "…." "There exist countless beings out there as well as worlds." "Ever heard of heaven and hell? Or the spirit realm?" "…..." "I know some gist, but never really looked into it or anything like that." – replied Phantasia. "Hm…. Well then, allow me to explain." – said the shadow mask. "There exist multiple worlds out there." "For example." "The realm of the heaven beings – Heaven." "The realm of the demonic beings – Hell." "And the world that stands right in the middle of it all – The Everion – The core world. A world we currently live in." "These are the most well known worlds out there that is no secret or anything and even common folk often know about it." "However, what people often don't realize or are oblivions to the fact that the war is currently happening." "The war where the heaven and hell tries to conquer and enslave us all." "?" "War?" – asked Phantasia. "Yes." – replied Shadow Mask. "Some fallow the hell world teachings, while some other fallow the heaven world teachings." "Some have religions that may have relationship with spirits, demons or angels." "Some call each other heretics, while some others wish to work together or just live without getting in each other business." "However, there is a lot of people that are completely oblivious to the fact about the current war happening all across this world." "Both the heaven and hell plans to conquer this world, the core world at any means necessary." "Honestly, you don't even need to trust me and dismiss any evidence that I have regarding this as false." "But you are an smart person and if you look on your own, you will find out the truth even without me doing anything." "Anyway, you are probably wondering why there are nothing like the mass scales wars happening all across the world and its bit complicated." "You see, long time ago, before any of the current kingdoms or the empire existed, there was an massive war between the realms outside our own." "And their goal, it was to conquer the core world, conquer Everion." "The war took place in this world and it devasted the entire world." "Honestly, this world would have been destroyed if not for the old gods." "The old gods are the gods that were born long time on this core world." "These old gods sacrificed themselves to restore the world and not only that, they implemented rules onto our world, banishing the demons and angles alike from our world and straight up being unable to fully make an bridge between our worlds." "Our old gods, the gods our world had severed were no more." "But thanks to them they were able to restore our world and not only that, they evolved it, making it grow and giving us new chance at life while also banishing the invaders." "However, as you may have guessed, the heaven and hell are present in the current age." "The hell and heaven cannot freely enter our world anymore, but its not like they cannot make new bridges or gates for themselves or use the fallowers on our world to help with the connection." "Not only that, but because our entire world had expanded, grew in size, it had become something brand new even for us." "However, it also made both heaven and hell way more greedy for the conquest of our world." "Current, the blind fallowers and their slaves are planning on surrendering what is our birth right! Our world! They want to sell it to their gods like the fools they are!" "…." "And unfortunately, the reason doesn't work with those bastards. Believe us, we tried over and over with different kingdoms, but each time we failed." "The heaven and hell had already dug its claws into our world and we now need to remove them by any means." "And unfortunately the only way to truly stop them all is to eliminate them. The heaven, the hell and the worshipers." "I mean like all of them." "There won't be any mercy for the traitors who worship the invaders who once destroyed our world in the name of conquest." "To save this world, we need to kill and destroy." "I rather die than become slave to either heaven or hell." "…." "When you said "Kill and destroy", you mean like the mass genocide and destruction? The same thing the Doctor did in Agion kingdom?" – asked Phantasia. "I kind of get your goal, but you do realize that you won't be heroes but pure villains by doing something like that." "You may have an noble goal, but that kind of removal, that kind of method the Doctor had used was an total genocide." "What if you were to kill innocent people catched in between?" "And do you really think we will be allowed to hesitate?" – replied Shadow Mask. "Its not like we have any options." "Many innocent will die, yes, but our goal will be fulfilled." "…..." *Sigh* "You are fucked up in your head and everything, you know that, right?" – said Phantasia. "And let's say you recruit Doctor, the real one, in the mix, what do you think would happened? What kind of reaction would people have for recruiting a total madman and psycho like him?" "Disgust." "People will not trust you and stuff." "Yea." – said the Shadow Mask. "But do you think our actions won't make enemies on the way anyway?" "And do you really believe that the Doctor would be the scariest person among our ranks?" "…." (Oh shit. I know what he is talking about.) – though Phantasia. (He means that they have even far more fucked up and dangerous beings than the Doctor.) (Still…. Thie goal may sound good, but their methods…. They are "Extreme".) (Those bastards straight up want to destroy everything and then restore everything, after making sure both heaven and hell suffered?) (I mean, their goal is consider "Good", but their method sounds like "Pure Evil".) (….) (Still, I cannot dyne the fact that something is up.) (That guy knows the fact that my body is somewhat mechanical as well as have the [Unliving Heart] inside of me, even though I never told anybody and all those who knew about it are dead.) (Honestly, the only thing I can think of is that bastard having some sort of X-ray scan done on me without realizing it that resulted in me being exposed without knowing that.) (But the main question is. Who am I dealing with really?) (Some sort of small organization?) (….) (Or by any chance a main antagonist of the entire game?) (Honestly, my goal is to be evil and chaotic as much as possible…. So, working for the main antagonist would sounds nice.) (But those guys…. Who are they really?) (Not only that, there is also the bonus just from joining. The epic rarity class book.) (Class books are often worth a fortune, depending on the two factors.) (First – Their rarity. The rare rarity class book would be worth around the epic rarity item if not more.) (Second – The availability. Depending on the class rarity in terms of finding it, the prince could easily sky rocket and the rare rarity book could even worth a fortune.) (And I never heard of the [Chaos Blacksmith] ever before…. And that bastard is just offering me it as the gift for just entering.) (Are these bastard rich by any chance?) (But then again, I don't really want to get tied down to anybody when it comes to serving other people, I would like rather to aim and become something like the final antagonist myself….) "…." (2 options.) (Work for somebody and get strong enough to betray them.) (Or be solo and try to gain more power.) (However, I don't have any idea how these bastards even find out about my secrets without me realizing.) (Do they really have some sort of X-ray vision?) (What if the next person that exposes me has some sort of ties with some very high and powerful figure that will be able to confirm the statement regarding me being the Doctor?) (But again, if those guys goal is a total destruction, then it will our goals will match somewhat.) "…." "Fuck..." – said Phantasia as he squadded in place before then after a short pause, he stood up straight again. "Okay. Two more questions. Two more and nothing more…No, wait. Three." – said Phantasia. "I forget to ask that, but what do you think about adventures?" "I mean, we originally didn't came from this world. I mean, are you fine with all that and stuff?" "Just so you know, the adventures are like people of this world. The core world." "There are good and bad people." "There are honest, but also deceitful." "There are mean, but also there are humble." "But the fact remains that they weren't originally part of this world." "So doesn't that makes me and any other adventures you encounter as nothing more that "Invaders that needs to be purged"?" – said Phantasia as he aimed his gun once again at the Shadow Mask. "Doesn't that mean that I cannot trust you if you want to "Purge" me as well?" "…." "Well… You may have came from another world and all, but you aren't real threat to us." – said Shadow Mask. "When you come to this world, you are as strong as little child with level 1." "Tell me, are you able to call some sort of "Army of another world" that consist of either monsters or people that have at least level 100?" "…." "No. We do not." – replied Phantasia. "You are right regarding the level 1 rule." "No matter who they are. Rich, poor, good, evil, powerful or weak. All start from the scratch." "Not only that, the adventures often swears their allegiants to some people or kingdoms." "So honestly, there is no way to physically unite every single player all at once and tell them: "Hey. Fuck up this guy. NOW!". The adventures are free." "However, some of them may attack you because of your actions or they maybe get hired by some sort of kingdom or people to attack you. And considering what you will be planning on doing, you will definitely face adventures." "…." "Well, we are aware of that fact, but honestly speaking, do you think we have an ability to banish you people just how old gods did with the heaven and hell?" – asked Shadow Mask. "Besides, you people aren't like the heaven and hell realms." "Like you said, you don't have anything like the godly powers and you start from the scratch." "So we cannot really banish you, but you are also not threat." "YET." – said Phantasia suddenly. "What if some gets too strong? You people can grow in strength, but so do the adventures." "…." "Its…. Bit complicated to answer the whole thing and explain it from details to even smaller details and I just don't want to waste fuking entire day explaining it." – said Shadow Mask. "So, I will say it straight." "We are fine with you people, but obviously we will kill and destroy even you and your kind if you were to stand in our way." "…." "Fine." "…." "Does that also means you are even willing to hire us? Like the Doctor?" – asked Phantasia. "…Yea. But obviously that depends as you may already realize." – replied Shadow Mask. "Meh. That answer will do." – said Phantasia. "Anyway, for the two question I had originally in mind is regarding the payment and stuff." "I get that you want to give me that as a welcome gift, but would you be able to provide me with the necessary payments and stuff?" "Let's say I fallow you each and every order, obviously I would like something in return." "Its how loyal knights even though he wants to protect its kingdom, it also need money, place to sleep as well as food and water to survive." "Would your organization be able to pay like this? Not only that, would you be able to provide something of the same value if not higher as this class book?" "Well, yes. We would be able to provide you with different form of riches, but that depends on the task as well as if you completed it." – said Shadow Mask. "Hm… Fair." – said Phantasia. "Okay. Last question." "In terms of power, can your organization alone destroy kingdoms? This is the most important question and you will have to answer it no matter if you like it or not." "What if the organization you want me to be part of is nothing more than a scam that is extremely weak and overall useless?" "If you would say that the organization has "Power" but its in reality extremely "Poor and weak", then you can instantly image me straight up leaving you, since you would straight up try and scam me." "So let me ask you this." "If this kingdom was in the perfect state, as if the Doctor didn't existed as well as there wouldn't be 3 factions diving the kingdom and also the king would be in the perfect health where he would be able to lead its kingdom, would you be able to destroy this entire kingdom? On your own with just power alone." "No schemes, just brute force alone." "Lie in my face and I find out the truth, I instantly quit on the spot." "I'm swearing that on my name right now." "…." (So…. What will you do mister Shadow Mask?) (You know that revealing that kind of-) "Yea. We can." "?!" – Phantasia was catched off guard by the Shadow Mask suddenly replying. "You- " "I'm not lying and if you like and honestly, we don't need you or the Doctor to carry out our plans." – said Shadow Mask, not letting Phantasia say anything. "I'm just being honest with you just how you asked." "And let's be honest. If we were the ones deceiving you, wouldn't we be at the bigger lose since you would find out some stuff about us? You could expose us and stuff the moment we betray your trust." "…." "True…. You could spread false stories that I'm the Doctor, but you would also be suspected based on my own info and that would make people question stuff." "People would think I'm really the Doctor and maybe had worked with you, but you and your organization existence would be completely exposed." "In terms of getting "Fucked over", you would get fucked more than me." "…." *Sigh* "Like I said, if you are lying regarding your organization power, then you do realize I will instantly quit it, right?" – asked Phantasia. "Yea. I'm aware of the risk of lying, but I'm not really lying and sooner or later people will know our power." "..." Phantasia began tabbing his shoulder with his finger with tapping ground nonstop with his foot. "…." "And your plan is to destroy everything, regarding if you commit mass genocide on the innocent people or the fallowers of the conquers in order to remove claws of the heaven and hell from this world." "Straight up destroying everything and then restoring it later on, yes?" "There won't be any "GOOD" in it, only just pure "EVIL"." "Yes." – replied Shadow Mask. "I'm completely aware, but that is necessary." "Even if it means killing more than half of the people on this world?" – asked Phantasia. "…." "At any cost." – replied Shadow Mask. "…." *Sigh* "If I agree to this deal where I swear my loyalty and you won't betray my trust, will I get rewarded as promised as well with possibility of having stuff with similar value as that class book or maybe better?" – asked Phantasia. "Yes. But as said before, it will depend completely on the assignment." – replied Shadow Mask. "But I can promise you this. We do have riches you wouldn't be never be able to see in your entire life, if you decide to work for us." "…." Phantasia began tapping his foot and finger once again, this time at much faster pace before then suddenly completely stopping. "Fuck you." "I agree." – said Phantasia. "Oh?" "Are you sure?" – asked Shadow Mask. "Yea. I'm sure." "I though about long enough and I'm honestly not really some good person or anything like that." "I'm a scumbag." seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Oh. Well then, my question now." – said Shadow Mask. "Who "IS" really joining us?" – asked Shadow Mask. "Well, that is obvious, isn't it?" – said Phantasia while taking out a plague doctor mask from his inventory holding it front of the Shadow Mask. "The "Doctor" will be the one joining you."
