Chapter 3650  Madness

A surprise was the last thing I had seen on his face when I felt my mind fading, till there is nothing oblivion.

I don't know, how long I had been in the oblivion when I felt my thoughts coming back. I opened my eyes after some struggle, only to find myself in a familiar place.

I am in the lanis plaza, the biggest plaza in the city right in front of the governor's palace. Sitting in the formation, made of those strange symbols I had seen in that bloody temple. When I looked around, a sheer horror couldn't help but appear in my eyes. I saw the whole city being covered under these symbols.

The lamps connected to each other through these strange, purplish symbols. Covering the whole city with it. The people everywhere, many unconscious. Some are becoming conscious, and with the same horror as me appearing on their faces. They might not understand what it is, but they understand is not good.

A very soul shudders when one sees these symbols.

It seemed like; I was sitting in the center of the formation along with twenty-four people. All Earth Sovereigns, except for the two Sky Sovereigns.

The vice-governors.

The governor is also present, behind him six Sky Sovereigns. Two of which are vice-governors, including vice-governor Shan, whom I had seen just morning; it is clear by the looks, that she is in cahoots with Governor Mozan.

The four others are unfamiliar, but like the governor and two vice-governors; their bodies too are painted in strange symbols.

Hun!

I was looking at them when the governor seemed to sense my gaze and turned to me.

"I am quite angry with you, Smith. You forced me to take my plans forward," he said, looking at me with clear anger.

"Why? Why are you doing this?" I asked and to my surprise, instead of getting angry, he smiled. The smile made me shudder, raising all the hair on my body; I recognized this smile. It is the smile of the devil, a person who had lost his morality, in the mad pursuit. I had come across many people like this.

"Why, you ask me? The answer is simple, power," he replied, with the smile on his face widening.

The other behind him smiled as well, while all those listening shuddered visibly in despair. Knowing there is no getting out of this.

Tor is strict about these procedures. Unlike other organizations, we hunt cultists and other menaces of society, and sometimes, those menaces want to take revenge.

To minimize the risks, there is a strict procedure to deal with dangers. It is a little rigid but saves the lives of powerhouses.

"You will not be able to get away with it, Moraz. They will hunt you down like a dog and kill you," she said and spat.

"Hahaha…" "You are too optimistic, Brezi. I know, tor works and already made the preparations. Once I do with it, I will disappear without leaving a single trace behind," he said confidently.

"Many cultists have said, those words before you, and now, their names on hallow cemetery," she replied and spat again.

"You have really made me angry, Brezi, and I wish I could kill you, but you are the sacrifice of the shining one and I will pray to him, to make your death, especially painful,"

"And you too Smith. You especially deserve the most horrifying death for interfering in the plans of shining one," he said, turning to me.

"I will see, what a rat, hiding in the little hole could do to me," I said with a grin.

Slap!

A moment later, I felt a powerful slap on my face, which was powerful enough to break my jaw. "Moraz, a shining one, didn't like it when their sacrifice arent in perfect conditions," said Swam Beastwoman and flashed beside me and gripped my jaw hard, bringing me more pain, but a moment later, she released the energies in me.

The healing energies. They are powerful.

I wanted to resist them, but I didn't; I let them flow into me and heal the minor injury.

If he wanted, he could have killed me with a physical attack alone, but he controlled the power at the last moment and only broke my jaw. Still, it shook my soul, seeing how easily, he could kill me.

"How long before we start?" he asked the huge man with the red skin. "Soon, it is nearly finished," replied the man.

The beastwomen let go of my jaw a couple of seconds later and joined the others, speaking under the privacy cover.

Time passed and twenty-one minutes and seven seconds later, the red-skinned man, opened his mouth and spoke words, that made everyone shudder in fear.
