Chapter 729 Life Has Value
Thousands of years ago, Mr. Grey guided the Eye Holder's siblings to Zatiel, prompting this one to use them against the Sage.
One could say it was thanks to that interference that Zatiel managed to turn the tables against the Sage during the events that took place in the Beta Heavenly War.
However, you could also say that Mr. Grey used Zatiel, prompting an enmity against the Sage that ended with Sophia's death.
Venganza frowned as he stared at Mr. Grey. He was a Depravita, so he could see inside a life form's mind and soul, detecting any form of evil. Still, he saw nothing of it inside that old man.
"How can he be so... normal." The Depravita's eyes narrowed as he focused on Mr. Grey and saw the karmic threads coming out of him.
What he saw on these threads only bothered him even more. The old man was full of loved ones and was not the target of any unjust hatred. present tells me nothing, so let's see your past."
Venganza focused on Mr. Grey and used the power of Cause Origin Essence and Effect Origin Essence to see his entire life from the beginning.
Gradually, the frown on Venganza became stronger, as did the coldness in his eyes.
It was not that the old man was evil. On the contrary, Mr. Grey's life was one of virtue and peace. You would not be wrong to call him a saint.
However, that peace shattered after the arrival of the Sage. The entire world fell under its hands, as did Mr. Grey.
Only after every life form in the world had become a potential incarnation did Mr. Grey figure out Sage's true intentions.
Unfortunately, Mr. Grey was too weak, so even if he knew the truth, he could do nothing else but resign to his destiny.
Actually, that weakness saved Mr. Grey since the Sage cared so little about the old man that he did not even pay attention to his actions.
That allowed Mr. Grey to look for a way out with the Law of Fate. He searched non-stop, and no matter how many challenges or dangers he faced, he continued fighting until he finally reached the Magi World.
There, Mr. Grey learned about a genius that also had enmity against the Sage and decided to try his luck, which turned out amazingly well.
After Zatiel sent the avatar into the First Layer of the Final Purgatory, the Incarnation of Death and Destruction's body reacted instinctively and attacked with the power of Truth.
That erased the Sage from spacetime in the Prima Universe, destroying the seeds inside the people of Mr. Grey's world and saving them from becoming future incarnations. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
The current Mr. Grey had no recollection of that, as Zatiel's actions erased his memories of the Sage. Losing all those harmful experiences was why the old man's smile was so pure and honest.
Venganza clenched his fist as a flash of rage crossed his eyes. He came here to kill the master schemer that used him against the Sage, but the only thing he found was an old man that fought to the end to protect his world and the people he loved.
But, that was not the only thing that annoyed him, as the life of Mr. Grey proved a point that he found extremely unsettling and affected his vision of the universe as a Depravita.
"Hmph, who cares!" Venganza almost yelled those words as he raised his right arm and was about to erase Mr. Grey.
"You will not do it." A voice appeared as the Primordial Body Incarnation emerged from the Depravita's body.
Venganza's coldness only increased as he saw the Primordial Body Incarnation. He only needed to close his palm to erase Mr. Grey from the universe.
"Oh, and you are going to stop me?" The Depravita's words not only were cold, but they also carried a threat. Anyone that got in the path of his vengeance would suffer the consequences, even if that individual were himself.
The Primordial Body Incarnation knew that Venganza was much stronger but showed no fear at the Depravita's words.
"You will not do it because it goes against your Concept."
"How could someone like you understand more about Concepts than me!? Even if his past involvement was small, it is enough for me to make him a target of my revenge!"
Venganza's words made sense, but the Primordial Body Incarnation only shook his head.
"I am not talking about that Concept. You might be the Depravita of Vengeance, but you are also the Godking of Justice."
Those words surprised the Depravita. He did not pay too much attention to his True Will, partly because his Depravita's heritage already granted him incredible spiritual defenses, making the golden humanoid not so useful anymore.
"Justice and vengeance can work together, but that would not be the case if you kill that old man. Besides, you want to end him because he is proof that the way your kind sees the world is not absolute."
Venganza's eyes grew even colder as he heard that last part. The Primordial Body Incarnation noticed that but carried on.
"Depravitas only cared about power, and only those with strength have the right to strive. That old man is so weak that the King in Yellow did not even bother with him, yet look at what his perseverance achieved." The Primordial Body Incarnation paused as he turned toward Mr. Grey with a smile.
"Life has value, no matter how weak it might be. There are bad ones that only spread darkness and do not deserve to live. However, more good ones only strive for happiness, which we must protect."
Venganza remained silent for a moment as enlightenment appeared on his face.
"I know what you are doing."
The Primordial Body Incarnation remained silent as he heard that, but the fact he did not refute it told Veganza a lot.
"Hmph." Venganza only sneered, but in the end, he lowered his hand.
"I need to kill. Let's go to Baator!"
