Chapter 797 Guilt
Venganza walked forward and put a hand over Jormundgander's head. Then, the Samsara of Sin and Man began to glow with imnse power.
"Quintessence of Sin and Redemption!" The Depravita of Wrath and the Depravita of Revenge utter those words simultaneously. The man at the wheel's nucleus that seed to carry the weight of all corruption opened his eyes.
Normal powerhouses would see nothing special in this entity, but those powerful enough could feel a force that could sunder the entire universe.
The entity stood up, walked out of the Samsara of Sin and Man, and fused with Jormundgander.
Imdiately, the Leviathan Primarch began to tremble and opened his eyes. All sorts of images appeared in them, moving faster than light.
Jormundgander saw how the world around him vanished, only to be replaced by a small castle in an isolated zone of the Leviathan World. He found himself sitting in a library, reading a book.
'What is happening? Why am I here?' The Leviathan Primarch did not understand anything, but his thoughts were interrupted by a childish voice.
"Brother, why do you spend so much ti reading?" A little girl no more than five years old barged into the library and ran toward him.
To Jormundgander's surprise, his body moved on its own and grabbed the little girl before raising her into the air.
"Little rascal, I told you not to interrupt during my study." Not only did his body move without a command, but it also spoke.
However, Jormundgander could not even process that as unconditional love overflowed his soul once he held the girl. Right now, there was no doubt in his mind that he would die to protect her.
"But brother, those books are so boring. Don't you prefer to play with ?" The little girl showed an innocent and tender smile that only strengthened the feeling of love in Jormundgander's soul.
"I know they are boring, but I need to do this. Our Horyn Family is small, and if we want to thrive and beco Greater Nobles in the future, I have to keep working hard."
The mont Jormundgander heard the na Horyn Family, dread filled his soul. He rembered it and knew what would happen next.
As the brother and sister spoke, the entire castle trembled, and a force blasted its ceiling to pieces.
Jormundgander imdiately protected the little girl before looking to the sky, where he saw a man full of bloodlust.
"Lour Horyn, you thought you could take care of using your background. I am sorry to say that you have failed. Now, die along with your entire fucking family!" The man in the sky roared while an imnse amount of energy gathered in his hands, ready to unleash a powerful energy beam.
"Brother!"
When Jormundgander heard the little girl screaming with terror, he felt fear like no other. It was even greater than when the Incarnation of Death and Destruction hunted him down!
He turned to the sky, knowing there was nothing he could do to resist that attack.
"Jormundgander. I beg you, kill , but don't harm my family!" The man uttered those words in a desperate attempt to save his sister.
Jormundgander saw all that through the eyes of the man holding the little girl. He possessed a young noble nad Lour Horyn, one of the first enemies he faced in his life, and the one in the sky was a younger version of himself.
'Do not do it! Just kill him. There is no reason to harm anyone else!' Jormundgander scread with all his power, but there was nothing he could do. The younger version of himself remained in the sky with a cold smile.
"Hmph, I will kill all of you. You and your entire family will be a lesson for all those that dare to defy in the future!" The young Jormundgander sneered before unleashing the energy beam.
"Brother!" The little girl scread one last ti before the beam descended.
'NOOOOO!' The last thing Jormundgander saw was the energy beam disintegrating the little girl. A crippling sense of grief assaulted his soul before a burning rage ignited his heart as he stared at the younger version of himself in the sky.
Nothing was tricking him. Jormundgander knew this was an illusion, but he also knew this had happened and that he had killed that little girl.
Back then, Jormundgander did not think sothing was wrong with his actions. The universe was rciless, so why should he be any different?
But after experiencing that brotherly love, sothing erged, sothing he believed he could never feel.
Remorse and sha.
It was not long before Jormundgander found himself in yet another place, this ti as an older man in a garden, staring at his grandchildren who were playing and laughing.
Once again, Jormundgander felt love, but he also knew what would happen next.
'No, no, no, no.' The Leviathan Primarch attempted to fight back and prevent what would happen, but he could do nothing but watch.
A dark and evil aura burst from Jormundgander's soul as if all the evilness and corruption had entered a state of overdrive.
All those that experienced the events above the Styx River when Zatiel Daybreak transford into Venganza would find Jormundgander's state familiar.
Yet, things were much more complex, as the Samsara of Sin and Man was not only transforming Jormundgander into a Depravita but forcing him to overco the shackle of his new nature imdiately, taking control of a Concept.
Only Venganza could trigger that transformation, and he needed a Rank 9 life form that had already fallen into corruption yet had the will to overco it.
Ira stared at Jormundgander with a profound light in his eyes. He could feel the state of the Leviathan Primarch's soul and felt compassion.
"Boss, I felt imnse pain and sorrow in his soul."
Venganza knew better than anyone what Jormundgander was feeling, but he could only sigh.
"Ahh, I know, but it is necessary. Only by feeling the pain he caused to others will his guilt flourish. After that, if he can overco all those negative emotions and forgive himself, he will reincarnate as soone new, soone better."
"And if not?" Ira knew that Jormundgander would beco a Depravita whether he succeeded or not in the trial. The only difference was if the Leviathan Primarch was a monster bound to his nature or a transcendent life form like him and Venganza.
"I already told him. If he fails, he will die." A cold flash crossed Venganza's eyes as he uttered those words.
