My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 581 Unleashed Chaos: The Protos Revelation

Isolde was confused why this man is addressing Azzy as Gary but the latter didn't bother to correct him and just went along with the same identity.

"I guess you are in touch with your son, after all," commented Azzy in response to the old man's greeting while ignoring his statement about the elves.

The old man's frown deepened further, "First of all, that brat isn't my son. He is just my daughter's playmate and guardian. And secondly, our Assad's network is vast and deep. Don't underestimate those elders."

Azzy was slightly surprised by the new piece of information. He didn't expect that they weren't siblings. Or, maybe, he was lying?

He doesn't know but in this current situation, he doesn't have the luxury to care about such minor things. Azzy directly opened the topic, "Anyway, whatever he is to you, because of him and your daughter, your execution was postponed by one week. Now, only two days left. I'm formally assigned to your case. And here's my offer.

I need the details of all the spies who intruded on the ranks of several organizations and members who are in hiding. I also need your confession of Assad's collaboration with the "Arc" company. In return, your execution will be removed and your punishment will be changed to 100-year imprisonment; the souls from your body will also be released along with the destruction of the treasure."

For a couple of seconds, silence filled in the surroundings before the prisoner burst into laughter. He laughed so hard as if he heard the joke of the century, clearly mocking Azzy.

After he was done with his laughing, his expression turned into anger and he shouted at Azzy as he tightly grabbed the bars of the cell, "Hundred million souls were already merged with mine. There's no going back now. Either executing me or extending my prison time will no longer have any use. 

If you want to save your world, then, imprison me in Cryogenic Chamber under near absolute zero temperature (-272 Celsius) for eternity. I know that your WAMO has developed the prototype. Once I receive the confirmation, I will give you all the information you need, boy. Now, go and meet that damn elven boss of yours and convince him, or else, the destruction of the world will be upon your head."

Isolde didn't completely understand the situation but judging by the conversation that happened before her eyes, she could atleast understand it is serious and it is related to the souls.

Luckily, there's something she can do in this situation too. Well, atleast that's what she felt. 

After closing her eyes for a couple of seconds, she opened her eyes. Her pupils disappeared and her eyes turned golden in color and they started glowing dimly.

An invisible barrier appeared around Azzy, blocking her special vision. However, the old man appeared completely different.

She saw a slim figure, purely made of some black-colored energy. Its aura is so powerful that it made Isolde lose her breath for a moment. Letting out a scream of fear, she quickly dismissed her passive ability, attracting the attention of Azzy.

Her whole body started shivering as if she was experiencing extreme coldness at once. Her shaking finger was pointing at the prisoner and her voice quivered as she opened her mouth, "You… evil… being. You, no human. Your Aura… What are you?"

"Hmm?" Azzy and the prisoner, both of them turned serious as they looked at her.

The old man then commented that he knows he had done several crimes in his life and his soul is corrupted with sinful souls too. However, Azzy didn't buy it as he heard of the word "aura".

He activated his Aura Sensing right away to observe the target. He couldn't see what the elf had seen but something has already become clear for him. "The Protos Energy," He spoke in his head.

"You need to talk with the elven princess to learn what she saw earlier," replied the Reaper.

"So, this is the reason you wanted her to tag along with me?" Azzy was almost sure about it now.

As the Reaper casually reminded him that he couldn't use his Eyes of God soul skill in this place, Azzy ignored him and placed his focus on the prisoner. He didn't argue with him and just nodded, "Alright, I will take your words into consideration and pass it to my superior."

He didn't wait there any longer and walked away without turning back again. Once both of them disappeared from his sight, the old man's eyes glowed in scarlet and he tightly shut his eyes as he shouted, "Fu*k off you monster."

"It's no use human…" A whisper was heard in his head. It further said, "Your greed to snatch my power has brought you to this state. Whatever you do, my resurrection cannot be stopped now. Hahahaha" A malevolent wave of evil laughter echoed in his head.

Meanwhile, Azzy exited the prison and have a talk with the elf.

Isolde summoned her Nine-tailed fox and let her Arcana spirit give him the description she saw using her divine vision.

Azzy nodded calmly as he walked forward without saying any more. However, inwardly, he conversed with the Reaper.

"Chronos, is it a demon with protos energy?" He asked.

The Reaper explained, "Not a demon but the being of chaos, the Anti-Divine Being or in simpler terms for you, a being of Protos Race."

"The Protos Being?" Azzy was slightly taken aback. Remembering the past memories, he asked, "But, all the Protos beings are said to have been locked away. One escaped?"

"The universe is vast, Azrael. Not even the Gods could roam everywhere and catch the ones that escaped and merge with living things," answered the Reaper in a grim tone as if he was implying that it is a huge problem.

Azzy then learned that the person who was possessed by a Protos Being is almost a lost cause unless one's soul is very strong. Due to the fact that 100 million souls were already ingested by the Protos Being, the Reaper has opinioned that killing the host body is the only way to rescue his soul.

If Assad's leader was a good man, Azzy would have tried his best to save him. Despite his efforts to save the world, it remains the fact that he has done a lot of crimes.

The best Azzy could do is to give him a quick death for his noble attempt and then take care of the emerged Chaos Lord. But, if he does that, it might unnecessarily trigger Aaron.

It's not that he was afraid of Aaron or anything. Azzy plans to recruit him for WAMO as he felt those mystic eyes will be a lot useful in the missions.

Hence, he had to make a choice and he should do it as quickly as possible.

After deep thinking and discussing with the Reaper, he returned to the dorm and went into closed-door training, not replying to any of Aaron's messages and removing himself from the case.

Aaron felt like he was cheated by Azzy. He might be willingly walked into the trap because of Marie but the reason he released the hostages is due to Azzy's promise.

He swore revenge against Azzy, but before that, he decided to risk his life and break out his adopted father at all costs.

Two days later, at the execution tower behind the WAMO's maximum security prison, Assad's leader was dragged into a chamber with his mouth sealed by a sealing technique, not giving him any opportunity to even plead.

After throwing him in the chamber, they sealed the room, and Vice President Ramiel who was overseeing the execution gave his signal.

By pressing the switch, toxic gases were released into the chamber. Upon inhaling, the vulnerable convict will struggle for more than thirty seconds, experiencing hell for a while and eventually die.

There have been legal issues going on because of ethical concerns, but for the moment, WAMO still holds the right to execute death row criminals using this way.

And just as the subordinates were about to press the two switches, the man inside the chamber suddenly disappear, throwing everyone into confusion.

"What the…" Ramiel Crescent went into a rage. "Where is he?" He roared.

At the same time, in the skies of Silver City, an unconscious Aaron was seen carried by Azzy as the latter flew away.
