Chapter 24: God Discussion
The mountain was completely silent. The only sound was Ank's heavy breathing as he dragged his sword across the forest. Blood was dripping from his sword.
Ank wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands were trembling. His body was in pain, but he was smiling.
Finally,he had defeated it.
But somewhere, far beyond the planets, far Ank could see ,beyond the stars mortals would never reach, in a place where entire galaxies were nothing but toys and someone was watching Ank.
A figure cloaked in shadows lounged lazily across a throne that floated in the endless void. His laughter rolled through eternity, echoing across dead suns and collapsing stars.
"Ha ha ha ha! Look at him struggling, crawling, bleeding for every breath. What a delicious sight!"
This being was Destruction. And right now, his favorite pastime was not ruling, not destroying anything, not devouring worlds but watching Ank.
"Yes this is the entertainment I want. The emperor of the universe was struggling. The miserable life of Ank , Every day, every quest crushes his spirit that I was waiting for eternity"
Destruction leaned forward, replaying a particular memory like one would rewind a video. His smile stretched wider.
"Ah, this one. The tenth day of training. When the Ank was ordered to lift those ten wooden logs, each weighing only ten kilograms. So simple, so pathetic. Yet every time he tried, the ground itself trembled beneath him. His arms shook, his legs gave out. ha ha ha ha! I can still hear the sound of his bones cracking and his pathetic face ."
He slapped the armrest of his throne, shaking with the galaxies with his laughing. "This scene deserves to be shared!"
With a flick of his hand, a glowing object in square shape appeared ,an artifact that had power to make a normal mortal to a being like God . Yet to the gods, it was something as simple as a mortal's phone.
Destruction unlocked the screen, scrolling casually through a list of messages. At last, he opened a chat group. The name flashed brightly across the void in space :
[Group Chat: Ank Death]
The members were countless divine beings ,gods who for one reason or another, despised Ank.
Destruction typed with an everlasting smile,he was happy from the bottom of heart seeing Ank's condition .
"Brothers, behold the worm struggling beneath logs of wood. The first Emperor of the Universe that even we cannot defeat as now struggling more like a crushed ant .
Ha ha ha ha!
He attached the vision of Ank's training, then pressed send.In an instant, the chat exploded with comments and hatred towards Ank.
[Death]: Useless mortal ,How dare he breathe while we watch.
[Decay]: Pathetic yet strangely satisfying. Show more, Destruction .
[Storm]: If only Creation didn't guard him , I would have killed him and turned him into dust long ago.
[Plague]: Disgusting boy. He should have died already.
[Happiness]: I am enjoying this show, send more in the group.we will be happy to see more like these clips.
[Health]: Yes.
[Death]:Yes
[Strength]: Pathetic, he deserves this.
[Intelligence]: This is the best show I have ever watched.
[Destruction]: I will definitely kill him one day.
[Light]: He deserves only death.
[Sea]: I will do anything, so I can watch his death.
Countless comments in which everyone wants Ank dead rushed towards the group, showing how they regret not being able to kill him and want him dead at any cost.
Destruction's grin widened with every reply. Their hatred towards Ank, how everyone hates him.
I knew how you all felt, I also felt the same, Destruction replied in chat.
But we could not do anything about these.
We only watch him like this, but this was also interesting, I regularly send all of you Ank moments and struggles clips.
[Decay]: Yes, you can send more of these like videos.
[Death]: Pathetic , how we felt satisfied with video while doing nothing, but I enjoyed watching his struggles
[Plague]: If I had power, I would definitely end his chapter
[Sun]: Disgusting boy.
[Happiness]: Can you send all the videos of Ank's struggles?
[Plague]: Come on guys, let's move to another video.
By saying this, he also uploaded a video in which Ank was struggling with the stone plant monster.
[Plague]: I like these fights.
[Light]: I know why you like these fights because in the fight, Ank was nearly dead.
[Sea]: I also like these fights.
[Death]: I like these fights much
And Death uploaded a video in which Maya punched him.
[Storm]: Struggle, Ank, and make us happy.
[Destruction]: Everyone upload your favorite moments of Ank's struggles.
Slowly everybody started uploading their favorite scene of Ank struggling, and Destruction's laughter increased and enjoyed every video.
He was not bored of any video, no matter how much he watched.
This hate Ank that much,
And yet, none of them could touch Ank.
"Because of her," Destruction muttered, his eyes narrowing.
Yes. Creation. The one who gave birth to this existence itself. She had become a very, very overprotective mother. Her wrath had become infamous among the gods. Those foolish enough to approach Ank found themselves erased, their divinity turned into dust .It did not matter how powerful and important god were you, if you tried to kill Ank, Creation would surely punish you or even kill you.
Destruction chuckled again. "A mother is far more dangerous than any monster or mortal who seeks power for dominance ,yet she cannot interfere with humans. She can't shield him from quests ,She can't stop his suffering. She can't help him from trouble ,she can't protect him all the time.
And I will laugh on both conditions to my heart's content.
He leaned back, tossing his head. "Ha ha ha ha! Oh, Ank life was the greatest comedy I have ever seen. His pain, his struggles, his pathetic attempts at survival ,they are our joy!"
His laughter released a massive energy shockwave that scattered planets ,stars and even some galaxies.
The void trembled, as if the universe itself disapproved of his amusement.And yet Destruction did not care.
Unaware, Ank continued moving back toward the village. But above him, the gods plotted against him, mocked him, and laughed at his very existence, a spectacle for those who ruled the Universe and a way of releasing frustration that they held for AnK for billions of years.
In all of them , Destruction laughed the loudest.
While the destruction was enjoying watching Ank clips and chatting in group ,suddenly someone punched him in the face.
From the force ,the throne in which Destruction was sitting was completely destroyed and its debris spread across the Universe.
