Chapter 17: God.
''Dream...'' Jack muttered sadly; he touched his face and felt tears falling.
But this time, the tears were bluish and not red.
[Rage Meter: 1% - Sophia was my everything, and they took it away from me!]
Again Jack's grey eyes turned into black and red.
''KRAAAAA!'' Scream echoed in the cave.
''Star Warrior... Green Dream...'' Jack narrowed his eyes with murderous intent.
He stood up from the hard ground.
He grabbed the refrigerator and put it on his back.
''Grrr...'' He growled and walked out of the cave.
The sky was already bright blue, and the sun was high in the sky.
Jack walked through the forest towards the signal of Star Warrior and Green Dream.
They were still staying in the city called Delight.
It is the second biggest city in Kindland and only 100km away from Kindland's Capital Charity.
That's why Delight is a very secure city, and Delight's Mayor is one of the four remaining 9-Star Heroes.
Jack exited the forest and saw a road in front of him.
He turned his head towards the right and saw a sign [Delight 7 km]
He fixed the position of the refrigerator on his back.
And once he was done with that, he started walking in the road, heading straight towards Delight.
...
In Delight.
''Nice to meet you, Star Warrior.'' A man with medium-length orange hair said. He has an average face, but it didn't matter because the masculinity he holds would make any woman interested. His body was above athletic with bulging muscles. He is Delight's Mayor 9-Star Hero - Noah.
In front of him was a man with short black hair and above average face, but his face was ashen and sickly-looking for some reason. He is 6-Star Hero - Star Warrior.
And next to him standing was a skinny man with a green suit. He had messy brown hair, which looked very dirty. His face was also very weary and tired. He is a 5-Star Hero - Green Dream.
''Nice to meet you, Noah The Hero of Protection.'' Star Warrior bowed politely.
Noah was currently sitting in his office, while Star Warrior and Green Dream were standing not far from him.
He chuckled and waved his hand. ''No need to be so polite.''
Star Warrior nodded with courtesy and kept standing without letting out a word.
Noah rubbed his chin and said. ''I knew about your bad deeds a long time ago, and I couldn't care less because I also got a taste of a few of your products... but this time you fucked up.''
Star Warrior raised an eyebrow. ''What do you mean?''
Noah sighed. ''Ariane, she told the Heroes Association what you did, and with the help of Chris, they found out what happened. You are now 6-Moon Villain.''
''WHAT?! She didn't die?!'' Star Warrior screamed angrily; his already pale face went even paler.
''No, she didn't.'' Noah scratched the back of his head. ''Why did you even go after Ariane?! She is one of the most famous heroes these days; if this goes public and I bet it will, your every evil deed will go into the light.''
Star Warrior hit the table angrily. ''Why didn't The Jack kill her?!''
''Not sure, and there is another rumor going. The Jack is chasing you two; for now, it's only a rumor, but if he appears here... Then you two should get the fuck out of here.'' Some killing intent left his body which pressured Star Warrior.
He is very fearful of Jack, and he thinks that the rumor is bullshit because why would he be chasing these two idiots in front of him?
Star Warrior gulped, he said with a shaky tone. ''The Jack isn't chasing us, I promise.''
''Why did he mention your names?'' Noah asked with a questioning face; he never understood why the Disaster of Charity asked about these two unimportant insects.
The Jack isn't an ordinary thug.
He is one of the strongest Villains alive and currently the STRONGEST person in Kindland.
Disaster-Moon Villains are usually very feared individuals, and ordinary citizen usually doesn't have any hopes of ever seeing them because they are infrequent and high-level individuals.
They are Kings, and the citizens are the homeless who never have any chance of getting a glimpse of their Majestic Ruler.
And if they finally see the King in the flesh... It might be the last thing they see in their lives.
Noah is already in his 40s, and he has no hopes of reaching 10-Star Hero rank.
Disaster-Moon Villains and Super-Star Heroes are legendary beings; he would be blessed even to get a glimpse of them.
That's why he can't accept that The Jack was chasing these two insects in front of him.
Getting chased by Disaster-Moon Villain can be considered an honor.
Because they are usually bustling and vital figures, every Villain Association would love to have Disaster-Moon Villain as their leader.
They would feel very secure and unique if Disaster-Moon Villain was their leader!
But Star Warrior and Green Dream don't feel like this is an honor.
This is a nightmare!
Green Dream used all of his Fat Burn to reach Delight, and he can't even use his superpower anymore without dying.
Star Warrior also used all his reserves of Star Energy.
He gets his Star Energy from the stars, and he has saved his Star Energy for years, and he had to use it all last night.
He received a little bit of Star Energy last night.
But it was very little.
If his Star Energy reserve was 100%
Then he only received 0.5% last night.
And he had to use it instantly.
They can't use their Superpowers anymore, so they are 0-Moon Villains currently, maybe even below that.
''I don't know why he mentioned our names!'' Star Warrior said urgently, but sweat drops started forming on his forehead.
Noah didn't believe him at all. ''Did you do something to his family?''
Star Warrior and Green Dream paled.
Star Warrior quickly shook his head. ''O-Of course not!''
''DON'T LIE TO ME!'' Noah roared.
Star Warrior flinched; even the roar injured him slightly.
''Tell me the truth.'' Noah's killing intent again appeared.
''I-I-I...'' Star Warrior stuttered; he knows that he will die if he lies now.
He nodded shakily. ''I killed his wife...''
Noah widened his eyes. ''What did you say?''
Star Warrior didn't answer; he meekly kept his head down.
''Get out... GET OUT OF DELIGHT NOW!'' Noah roared angrily; now he knows that the rumor isn't false.
''B-But!'' Star Warrior was about to cry; he needed Noah's protection.
''You have doomed us all! Leave before The Jack arrives!'' Noah was panicking, ''Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!''
''B-But...'' Star Warrior stuttered; Delight is the only safe place for him left, and he will die without Noah's protection.
Villains won't accept him, and Citizens won't either after the News about his evildoings are brought to light.
''LEAVE!'' Noah roared with bloodshot eyes; he felt his anger rising each passing second.
Star Warrior flinched; he bit his lip and nodded.
He left the room with Green Dream.
They can't use their Superpowers, and they are ranked as Villains now; they are as good as dead.
Noah was left alone in the office; he scratched his head out of frustration.
''Those fuckers... Damn!'' His anger kept increasing; he felt fear paralyzing him.
He can only hope that The Jack doesn't know that they are here.
But there is a saying.
If Disaster follows you, don't even think about escaping.
Everyone who attracted the Disaster-Moon Villains anger has died.
He took his phone from his pocket and started calling for every hero located in Delight.
He said. 'The Jack might come here, be prepared.'
And then he closed the phone call.
Not even waiting for the heroes to respond.
He doesn't fear that the Heroes might abandon their duties.
Because the Heroes who abandon their duties are classified as villains.
And the Heroes who became Villains aren't accepted in the Villain circle, so they have nowhere to go.
Noah started praying. ''Please don't come here!''
But then... The door of the office was slammed open.
Noah looked towards the door and saw a female secretary with a pale face.
''Susan? What is it?'' Noah asked, his heart beating out of nervousness.
Susan was panting heavily while her face was pure white, her body was trembling, and she could barely open her mouth, but she finally managed to say a piece of despairing news.
''T-T-The Jack is here!'' She screamed with fear.
Noah paled. ''No...''
Susan walked towards the TV screen located in the office and opened it.
It showed the News from Delight, and a single image was shown, which brought chaos everywhere in Delight.
It was a figure of Jack standing at the entrance of the city while holding the heavy-looking refrigerator.
Noah didn't say anything; he only sat silently.
''M-Mayor, what should we do?'' Susan asked with a trembling body.
''Evacuate...'' Noah muttered, but Susan heard him.
She nodded quickly and ran out of the office.
Noah was left alone in the office.
His eyes were fixed on the screen.
If it were any other day, he would feel delighted seeing Disaster-Moon Villain in the flesh, even though they are extremely dangerous.
But he has heard tales of them and Super-Star Heroes as a kid, and he always felt fascinated.
They are like Gods to normal people.
And now...
God appeared in his city.
