Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Humanity has always valued its life more highly than anyone else's. It was this hubris that created such a strong morality that its people followed. If you killed a cow in India, you would be stoned to death. Whereas everywhere in the world cows were expected to be slaughtered for meat.

If I ever decided to take in this monster. The most important questions would be.

'What is your life worth?'

Depending on whether it was considered equal, lower or higher, people's perceptions would change. Among my girls, only Liv considered the monster equal to a reaper. That was why she could talk to it as if it were a person to negotiate with.

The rest of the girls did not. That was why it was okay for them to use the beast and then throw it away. There was no morality in their decision. Whether to kill it, enslave it, or use it for nefarious purposes, the rest of the Sirens believed it was disposable.

Even our own battle tactics reflected this. For Jo, the lizardkids she brainwashed were of little importance. That was why she had no problem sending them to their deaths.

'Actually, we consider the soulless more important,' I joked inwardly.

This subject was heavy. Because my own decision would affect how my entire domain dealt with them. Should we try to understand them? Or should we simply overpower them and enslave them? My mind grew confused at the possibilities before me.

This very dilemma was common in fiction because there was no right answer. It was all subjective. It was like Pokémon or Digimon. While you had the right to treat your monsters as pets, family, or even lovers. Others, of course, had the right to see things differently.

"Fuck... This King stuff is really annoying..."

{Warm Blood. I follow. I fight. You say?}

"And it doesn't help that this fucking moron talks like a retard. Exa, can you apply [American English] to this dumb fuck?" Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

[I can...Done. All correspondents with the inhabitants of Hellsgate will automatically use [American English]].

'Thank you, Exa, you are the best.'

After thanking my AI, I turned to the Alpha and spoke. "My name is Limitless, you ass hat. What exactly do you want?"

[Limitless? Okay. Limitless, I wish to join forces with you. Help me kill the vampires.}

'Much. Much better. Thank you, Exa!'

[It is my pleasure, my lord].

"And what will you do for me in return?"

{If you help me kill the vampires. I can become king. Once I am, I can force all lizardkin to stop attacking humans.}

"And what makes you think I care if you attack us? Go ahead, we will just kill you all again!"

The Alpha began to growl at my words, and Robyn and Jo promptly smashed its head with a flurry of blows, silencing it.

{I will have my clan protect and defend the humans when we see them.}

'Exa, call the Wyvern Air Wing and have them come here.'

[Yes, my lord.]

In less than a second, the Wyverns scouting the ground all swooped down on my position. Then they all glided down and landed in a neat line in front of me. Isolde was at the head of the line and began chattering excitedly.

"AMI! Can I have some of the corpses? They smell so good! I will pay for them!"

Ignoring the crazy things the German Phantom was saying, I turned to the Alpha on the ground. Its eyes were shocked when it saw the Wyverns.

"As you can see, I do not need the Lizardkin. Nor you. Why should I spare you? What have you to offer?"

{I don't know. I do not know what humans want. Tell me. And I will do it.}

With the addition of [American English], the alpha no longer sounded retarded. But maybe that was just because I had been using English since birth. Maybe I sounded stupid to him in the language of lizards instead.

"What I want is to purge the undead and close Hellsgate."

{That would be difficult. We do not ally with the undead, but we need them to create the black smoke. If we allowed you to kill them all, we would stop evolving.}

Evolve? First, this thing had to eat malice, and now it said it had to evolve. Was it really just a coincidence?

"Why do you want to evolve? Aren't you already powerful?"

{Relatively. I am strong to the weak. And weak to the strong. The vampires enslaved my people because we were weak. If we can become stronger, we can free ourselves from their power.}

"What would you do when you were done?"

{We would enslave others to get the black smoke for us. As they are doing to me now.}

"? Are you saying the vampires want to evolve like you?"

{I would believe so. My elders say the vampires come from a deeper place. They shouldn't be in our homes to begin with.}

Lilly took a step forward and asked.

"From your words, it sounds like you do not want to kill humans."

{That is correct. You humans taste like crap with hardly any meat on you. I would much rather eat bearmen. I brought some with me, but they all went crazy and tried to kill my children.}

It bought bearmen as food? Then it wasn't part of the enemy forces. Was that why there were so many different types of Rank E's? They were not part of the armies, but cattle?

Surprise and anger came from the Sirens. It seems that they also understood the realization I had just had.

"Lizardkin, if we could find a way to give you the black smoke without having to protect the undead. What would you do?" Bella asked. My bombshell pushed up her glasses, deep in thought.

'Mrs. Code, would you mind telling us what you are aiming for?'

'Honey, I'm sure you've noticed that, aside from its appearance, the Alpha basically functions like a Reaper.'

'Yes, I have noticed that. But so what?'

'Think about it, Honey. What happens to the malice absorbed by the soul crystals?'

I thought for a moment, then remembered Phillip's lecture.

'They are sent to the Revenant who controls them.'

'Correct. But we already know that this is actually harmful to the Revenants. But what if instead of sending them to the Revenant, we let the Alpha eat them instead?'

"..."

That would be a fucking miracle. Bella's suggestion was brilliant. The Reapers were driven mad by malice. But if this Alpha was any indication, the monsters weren't.

If the reason the monsters allowed the undead to stay was so they could evolve, then it all made sense. Otherwise, there was no explanation for why the undead and the monsters could coexist.

And to Bella's point, if we could give the monsters malice instead, they would have no need for the undead. Meanwhile, we could give the malice to someone else and not experience its negative effects.

I reached out and grabbed my sweetheart's hand, "Bella. Have I told you how fucking amazing you are?

The Brazilian's link gushed with happiness at my praise. She smiled a bewitching smile as she replied.

'Not lately, no. But I don't mind if you tell me more, you know?'

{I....}

Loud clangs echoed as Jo and Robyn began to smash the Alpha's head with their makeshift bats.

"SHUT UP YOU WANKER! STOP BEING A LITTLE BITCH! I AM PISSED! ANSWER FASTER!"

"DARLING'S FLIRTING WITH EVERYONE BUT ME! FUCKING BULLSHIT! DO YOU WANT TO DIE? TALK!"

{OUCH! STOP! IT HURTS! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!}

Like a pair of thugs, my Kitten and Shooting Star began to pummel the contemplating Alpha. I couldn't help but chuckle along with the rest of the Sirens.

While it was disconcerting that there was still so much we did not know, we knew more today than we did yesterday. And for now, that was enough.
