Aron was surprised, genuinely surprised, but his face didn't show a hint of it.
Even in an apocalypse, hearing a grown man speak with a woman's voice wasn't exactly normal.
"Why should I spare them?" Aron asked at last, tilting his head toward D-One after processing the bizarre scene.
"Because D-One is the champion of this world, and I..."
The voice suddenly cut off.
D-One..or whatever was speaking through him, felt the sudden, razor-edged killing intent lock onto them.
"Do you think I give a damn about your origin story?" Aron said coldly.
"I asked a simple question. I expect a simple answer. Don't make me repeat myself."
He glanced at the glowing timer in front of him:
[Godmode (Internal Authority): Increase self-strength by 300×; consumes 250 years of lifespan every 20 seconds.
Replication Timer: 3 seconds remaining.]
Aron didn't have time for small talk.
