Villain's Journey Towards Destruction

Chapter 50: I Can Hear Everything...



Chapter 50: I Can Hear Everything...

''J-Jack?'' Ariane muttered with disbelief; teardrops started trickling down her soft-looking cheeks.

Jack turned his gaze towards Ariane and smiled, ''Ariane...''

Tears fell off from her eyes like a waterfall.

*Sob*

*Sniff*

''Y-You *Sob* H-How?'' Ariane asked with a sobbing tone.

Jack looked upwards towards the darkness.

''... I wanted to die... But my rage didn't allow me to...'' Jack said, ''When I was about to fall down and die... My Rage Energy covered my body and saved me... After that, I tried to starve myself... But I don't need food to survive after all... I feel hungry, but I can't starve.''

Ariane wiped her tears, ''W-Why didn't you leave this place then?''

''There is no place for me outside... This is where I belong.'' Jack looked around him, ''In the darkness.''

Ariane walked towards him without fear and sat down in front of him, ''That's not true... There are people who care about you.'' She touched his hand tenderly.

Ariane barely felt any flesh in Jack's hand, it was almost all bones.

She also saw his face, which didn't have his previous handsome features anymore; instead, he looked old, very old.

But she didn't feel disgusted, her love was stronger than ever.

Jack felt the soft hand touching him tenderly.

''... I know how you feel about me,'' Jack said and looked at Ariane's bright blue eyes.

Ariane blushed, ''I-is that so.'' She avoided his eyes.

''I... I have heard everything you said in front of my grave.'' Jack said.

Ariane looked shocked, ''H-How?''

Jack sighed, ''I can... Hear everything.''

He pointed towards the veins, ''These veins... Are part of me... They let me hear everything... I can hear everything in Kindness...''

Jack saw Ariane looking conflicted.

''You are worried about your parents, right?'' Jack asked.

Ariane looked at him and nodded.

''They are safe. Chris bluffed, he never sent anyone to your parents.''

''T-That, bastard!'' Ariane gritted her teeth hatefully.

Jack's face was downcast, ''His... Love is messed up. Since he doesn't have Kenturion anymore, he had to target that love to someone; unfortunately, you were the target of his newly found obsession.''

''I-It wasn't your fault,'' Ariane said while tenderly holding his cheek.

Jack nodded, ''A lot of things have happened in the last 4 years... Sophia... Is gone.''

He pointed towards the refrigerator in the distance.

Ariane turned her face and saw the refrigerator broken into thousand pieces.

''I... I had to let her go...'' Jack clenched his fist, which caused another earthquake to happen in Kindland.

Ariane felt the earth shake.

''H-How strong are you now?''

Jack shrugged; he grabbed Ariane's hand and felt her soft skin, ''That is a question... I don't know the answer to.''

Ariane blushed after feeling his hand grabbing hers, ''Y-You meant it... That you heard everything... Everything past 4 years?'' She blushed heavily.

Jack smiled and nodded, ''I admit... Your topics were fascinating.''

Ariane's face exploded out of embarrassment.

''W-What are you planning to do now?'' Ariane asked; she hoped that he had let go of his hate.

''Remember when I said that I can hear everything in Kindness...''

Ariane nodded.

Jack grimaced, ''Not all things I heard were pleasurable... Heroes... Villains... Both need to be exterminated.''

''What did you hear?''

''Screams... The Power Core... Was screaming...''

''Power Core?!''

Jack nodded, ''Power Core is in pain. Not sure why... But the Power Core wants to disappear... The main reason is the Villains and Heroes.''

''You are planning to destroy the Power Core?! Please don't, you need to face the whole force of Main Government!'' Ariane grabbed his hand tightly.

Jack looked at her, he touched his soft cheek, ''I thought my life was over after Sophia... I was wrong.'' He moved his head and locked his lips with Ariane.

Ariane widened her eyes out of surprise but started kissing passionately.

Their kissing made the saliva fly out of their mouths, and the kiss became very heated in seconds.

Jack separated his lips from Ariane's soft lips.

Ariane's face was a blushing mess.

Jack's cheeks had a slight hue of pink.

He stood up to stand first time in 4 years.

His bones made cracking noises, and his limbs seemed very stiff.

Jack was now standing straight.

His skinny legs almost couldn't keep his body standing.

Ariane looked at him with hazy vision, ''Jack... That kiss...''

Jack touched his face, which was dirty, ''I am sorry if it was bad... I haven't showered in a quite long time.''

Ariane shook her head quickly, ''No! It was great... but what did the kiss mean?''

Jack looked at her, ''Ariane... Are you planning to follow me... Or stay as Hero?''

''I will follow you!'' Ariane instantly responded.

''You should think more...'' Jack sighed, ''My Journey... Will be filled with Crimson.''

Ariane stood up and hugged his skinny figure, ''I made my decision a long time ago... Being villain, or hero... Doesn't seem to really matter in this world, does it? Both are as bad.''

Jack looked at her and saw her firm look; she wasn't planning to change her mind.

''If I lose you as well... I will be truly lost...'' Jack murmured.

Ariane smiled and kissed his cheek, ''That means I have to be strong enough to survive beside you!''

Jack then went serious, ''Do you... Want to become stronger?''

''What do you mean?'' Ariane tilted her head.

''The Power Core didn't only scream... He also talked with me.'' Jack revealed.

''What?!''

Jack nodded, ''He said... This information will be beneficial for me in the future; I didn't believe him first... But now I understand.''

''W-What is it?''

Jack grabbed her cheeks, ''Way to have Ultimate Awakening... Everyone said that the easiest way is to push your power to the limit... But that is a harder version. There is the second version; it's easier but more dangerous.'' Jack gritted his teeth, ''I don't want you to try it if I am being honest.''

''What is it?'' Ariane looked with a hopeful gaze.

''Extreme pain.'' Jack grimaced.

Ariane looked scared at first, but then she remembered the scene of Chris forcefully trying to take her only because he was stronger.

''I-I will do it.'' Ariane looked at his eyes and said.

Jack gritted his teeth, ''If it looks like you can't survive it... I will stop.''

Ariane nodded.

''Lie on the ground,'' Jack said gently.

Ariane lied on the ground, she felt the hard ground below her.

Jack grabbed her cheek and kissed her once more.

Ariane smiled and closed her eyes, ''D-Do it.''

Jack's face was getting paler; he covered his finger with crimson color and touched her forehead.

[Crimson Pain]

''AHHHHHHHHH!'' Ariane opened her eyes with a slam; she grabbed her head in agony.

Jack grabbed her hand, ''Listen to my voice.''

Ariane's eyes went bloodshot, her nose and mouth started bleeding, but Jack's voice slowly started piercing her defenses, and her pain started gradually lessening.

''Ariane... You can do it.'' Jack put two crimson-colored fingers on her forehead.

[Crimson Extreme Pain!]

''AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!'' Ariane started squirming around, her voice was starting to get hoarse, and her consciousness started fading away.

''ARIANE! OPEN YOUR EYES!'' Jack shouted; he debated whether he should stop it, but then Ariane's pain would be for nothing.

Ariane hazily opened her eyes, her body was trembling like never before.

But then... A violet color started surrounding her beautiful figure.

First, it was her toes, then her feet, then her legs.

Soon her torso was covered in violet color, then her head.

Soon the violet color started clashing with the Crimson color and started winning!

The crimson color started fading away, and Ariane's pain disappeared.

Ariane's beautiful black hair started turning towards violet, and get blue eyes disappeared.

She opened her eyes, and Jack saw a beautiful pair of violet eyes, like peerless gems.

''Ariane... How are you feeling?''

Ariane's ears were still ringing because her ears were bleeding as well.

Jack waited with a rapid heartbeat.

Soon her ears stopped ringing, she turned her beautiful violet eyes towards Jack's red eyes.

''I-Is it done?'' Ariane asked with a weak voice.

He grabbed her trembling hand and nodded, ''You did it...''

Ariane had a weak smile, ''Proud of me?''

''Very proud...'' Jack smiled and kissed her forehead.

Jack helped Ariane to sit.

''Check the interface,'' Jack said.

Ariane nodded weakly.

[Name: Ariane Violetheart]

[Age: 29]

[Superpower: Saintess Incarnation]

[Rank: S]

[Description: You can command everything under heavens!]

''How is it?'' Jack asked curiously.

Ariane widened her eyes; she smiled and said, ''It worked... Thank you.'' She smiled sweetly and kissed his lips.

Jack smiled and stood up, he looked towards the darkness.

''Where are we going?'' Ariane asked weakly and stood up with shaky legs.

''You should rest first,'' Jack asked with a caring look.

Ariane shook her head, ''I am fine...''

The violet color kept surrounding her figure, and her pain and exhaustion were disappearing.

Jack nodded, ''It is time to leave this place... It is time to show people why I was called a Disaster of Charity....''
