747 Something“s off about this chapter 1 of 2

Rows and rows of heads ambled aimlessly behind Alex, with each one wearing horrific expressions that haunted even the thick-skinned Professor Frances.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

Fear, pain, agony, and weariness were the majority of these expressions, and combined together, they created a cacophony of suffering that made Alex look extremely wicked.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

This was even made worse by the fact that the heads all looked freshly decapitated, with the blood flowing from their stumps complementing 'well' with their horrified faces.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

Every now and often, these heads will also let out these low-toned hums from their gaping mouths, turning their 'entourage' into a terrifying musical, which for some reason, can't be unheard by the professor.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

There are 36 of these heads in total, and they did not fail to make the professor feel fear, as their milky white-eyes and agonized wails were already grating to her ears.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

Add the slashes that decorated the majority of their skins and the occasional pus that drifted out of their orifices, and the end result was a nightmarish sight that nobody can just ignore.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

Professor Frances especially could not ignore this sight, as what she was seeing was a direct violation of her moral ethics!

"Alex… you know for a fact that even if I am a crazy biological manipulator, I only use my abilities against people that deserve it."

"Criminals, rapists, swindlers, and those who tries to kill me were the only people that I turn into monstrous entities. Oh, and I also monsterize those who willingly chose to become monsters, since it was their choice to become one."

"That latter part was the majority of the monsters under my command now, and they don't seem mad with what happened to them."

"But aside from these people Alex, I never chose anyone else to turn into monsters!"

Professor Frances might have conquered a world before using her biological skills, but she did not turn everyone in that place into her own monstrous minions.

Just like what she said, she only turned the 'evil' and the 'volunteers' into her monster minions, while those who were innocent were allowed to continue living in their normal forms.

It was only these monsters that she used to conquer her past world, and those who were not monsters became her 'normal residents' that she protected with her abilities….

This moral rule of hers might seem confusing given her crazy outlook, but the professor never intended to have it broken, even with everything that had happened to her.

After all, even the crazy professor knew the value of free will and freedom, two things that she will never steal from those who deserve them!

"So Alex…. even if I look crazy to you, you should remember that I would never lay my hand on the innocents!"

"So don't think that we are alike!"

"Especially when you used your power to affect those who are not deserving of it!"

**************

Even with all of her knowledge in biological manipulation and soul magic, Professor Frances could not figure out how Alex was able to keep the decapitated heads alive up to this point.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

But whatever he did must have been so horrific, as none of the decapitated heads looked happy in their situation.

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

In fact, most of these heads were giving the professor pleading looks, as if they were asking her to kill them!

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

Which is a task that the professor badly wanted to do now, but because of Alex's presence, she could not muster the courage to approach them…

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

"Alex… if this is what you had been doing after your semi-corruption, then I doubt Alina or your other companions will ever accept you." Professor Frances muttered as she tried her best to not look at the pleading heads. "In fact, not even I can accept you, even with the skills that you showed on preserving decapitated heads…"

Her attempt to not look at the heads turned out to be hard, and she only felt more disdain for the man as the heads continued to express their pain…

"You just did not commit a sin here, Alex. You willingly tortured and horrified innocent people, and you included children in that mix!"

"These actions clearly display that you are not in your right mind at all!"

Now that Alex had clearly used his power on some innocent people, Professor Frances quickly lost any semblance of goodwill towards him.

Especially when she saw some children amongst these decapitated heads, as their presence meant that Alex had the gall to attack children here!

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

This was the lowest blow that Professor Frances could ever receive, and if it were not for the disparity of their abilities, then she could have attacked Alex at this point!

D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇ S̴̘̟͓̀̃̕ T̷̺̝͛͐͗ O̵͓̣̒͗ Ŕ̴̖̀ T̷̞͚̂͜ I̶̩̕ Ő̸̢̡̬̊̓ N̸̝̯͐̈̏ D̷̙̦̳̈ Ì̸͖̰̟̇

"You damned Alex… I don't know how you managed to keep those decapitated heads alive, but you should know that I am not happy with what you are doing now."

"Even if you have been semi-corrupted already, I thought you will still have the urge to not hurt the innocent."

"But look at what you did now! You violated these principles that I talked with you before, and you are even flaunting it proudly in front of me!"

Since she can't attack him physically, the livid Professor Frances can only hope to attack Alex through her words, which she wished will somehow make him flustered.

"Is this your new power that you are happy about?"

"Ptooey! What you are just showing me is pure trash, and I could hardly believe that I am actually scared of you!"

"Argh! Do you know what I am feeling now? I am feeling more disgusted of you, so don't think that you are scaring me!"

\u003c\u003c…\u003e\u003e

"You hear that? You are not scaring me at all!"

\u003c\u003c…\u003e\u003e

"I said, you don't scare me anymore! You just make me feel disgusted!"

\u003c\u003c!!!\u003e\u003e

To the professor's delight, she realized that her actions were able to get a reaction from Alex.

More specifically, her words seemed to have riled Alex up, as if there was something in what she said that irritated a sinner like him.

It eventually led to Alex having an angered look, one that he smoothed out before anyone could notice it.

Professor Frances however quickly noticed this angered reaction, and she could only stop herself from sneering as she attempted to discredit what Alex was about to say to her.
