Chapter 126: 126: Cold
"That\'s right! Aren\'t you afraid we will report you?"
Caleb looked at the three fools in front of him with a neutral expression. "So it isn\'t allowed to use abilities in public? Well, it\'s okay as long as no one sees it, right?
And am I the monster now? You want to kill me, but you don\'t want me to kill you? That\'s the first I encountered such an idiocy. I will correct you. I\'m not Destiny yet..."
The long-haired one and the one with a muscular physique tried their best to struggle and force themselves. However, the substance just stretched like gum which made it difficult for them to exert force. Not to mention, the substance was stuck to them like a gum.
"Y-you... You\'re not a Destiny!? Then why can you use abilities? Don\'t tell me you\'re a half-human, half-Apokalips!?" The one on the left side of their leader had a horrified look as he stared at Caleb. "A homunculus!!??"
\'What half-human, half-Apokalips exist? What in the world? Humonculus? Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?\'
Such information made Caleb dumbfounded this time. He thought he already knew the power system quite well. Who knew there were secrets hiding deeper?
\'There\'s no use talking with fools any longer.\' Still, he was rather glad that the three took the initiative to follow him. At least, he now knew new information. \'What they called again? Homunculus? Interesting.\'
After his thoughts ended. He looked at the three with a pensive expression.
Seeing such a look made the three sweat out as if they realized that the kid they thought had the look of a cold-blooded killer. If they could describe it. The kid was looking at them with apathetic eyes.
"Stop what you are planning to do. I want to live. Please be merciful." The long-haired man had a pleading look on his face.
The man on the right side also realized they were how serious the situation was. "How about this? You leave us alone as if nothing happened? We won\'t report you and we will walk out with happy smiles on our f-fac..."
Before he could even finish his words. He felt the world turn upside down. \'Hmmm, whose body is that? Why am I seeing my body in the third perspective?\' this is his last thought before the darkness swallows his consciousness.
The long-haired man looked at his companion\'s spurting blood like a fountain and the Odachi on Caleb\'s hand.
Caleb stepped on the head that fell on the ground coldly. "You talk too much."
"Please spare us!"
"Have mercy! Damn it!"
Caleb shook his head and brought down on the Odachi. The blade met the necks of the two and effortlessly went through it. There\'s not even an ounce of resistance. The feeling? It was like he just used a scissor to cut paper.
He couldn\'t help but look at the three heads for a moment. The three eyes were wide before they died. Caleb shook his head. \'Fools...\'
Next, he cleaned up the corpse and the bloodstains around it, making sure that there were no traces left. Then he searched for a deserted place and burned the corpse.
The fact is, it\'s easier to kill than to clean up and erase traces, which was always troublesome. Fortunately, he was a killer in his past life and it was already second nature to him.
Then he walk away as if nothing happened. As for not worrying that someone would know what he\'s done and trace it back to him. Well, as long as they don\'t have the power to replay time or a specific time frame, they won\'t find him.
...
Three days went by. Just as planned, Caleb celebrated the passing of the test with team seven; Shu, Kidd, Kazuto, Rozho, and Zetsu. Although they are still teenagers, they manage to drink alcohol. Normally, it would be illegal as only 18+ can drink. However, they got a pass since they were with Zetsu, a Destiny. Zetsu was quite well known in the 1st to 4th District for some reason.
He also spent time strolling around the city and interacting with the Aboriginals. Mainly, to know the culture of the city and the way of life of its inhabitants. The more he spent time observing, the more he got to know how the people lived.
Of course, knowledge is power. Aside from training, such as swinging his sword mindlessly 2000 times and trying to replicate the other four powers. He went to various libraries to read stuff related to the history of the world. Unfortunately, the only available information from the books is mainly about the 3rd invasion. As for 2nd and 1st invasions also known as first coming and second coming, there\'s no information about them. Then he had known from others that it was a blank history.
All clues, hints, or things related to the 1st coming and 2nd coming don\'t exist. Any materials that record them cannot be found. It was like the higher-ups or people in the ruling class deliberately made them disappear and they didn\'t even show an effort to hide that they did it. They overbearingly punished anyone who wanted to explore or uncover the history...
\'Damn, it\'s just like One Piece. Blank history? Fuck!\'
Caleb couldn\'t help but curse. Blank history just means that something shady was happening in this world and the ruling class wants to hide it with iron hands.
He looks at the ground blankly as he begins to brainwash himself.
\'I\'m not curious. I\'m not curious. It doesn\'t have anything to do with me. Explore the history. No shit! I\'m not interested. I\'m not interested. I\'m not curious.\' x5
Want to learn history? He smells nothing but trouble. If he does that. He would surely become the enemy of the governing body of the city. The ruling class of this world. Why would they try to hide what happened on the 1st invasion and 2nd invasion from the public?
Caleb doesn\'t even want to guess. There\'s a big conspiracy. A big secret hidden undercurrent that might cause chaos if known!
