15 - Being A Villain Is Better

Zach's POV

It's been 2 hours since he left, He seemed to be having low confidence perhaps it's because of his age as he is a child after all.

It's been 5 days since I came here, I understand that I am no longer a human as I do not feel hunger or any sort of feelings as I simply feel energetic all the time.

I do not feel the need to sleep nor do I need to breath air to stay alive, It's a scary thought but am I even alive as I question myself that.

I can travel anywhere and can manipulate a lot of natural orders it as if I become a God as maybe it's my character from the game.

Zacherius Diavolos was known to be a God of Destruction as hours and hours of grinding led to such development but that character wasn't a god as I was able to create a people or NPCs because I won the conquest to capture the dark forest alone.

With the capture, I was presented a chance to rebuild and re create the forest in my image as well as create citizens or beings who will live in the area.

I created tall trees in the forest as well as a large space at the center for a City, Then I created Ellorans.

They weren't like typical humans, They were designed to be peaceful, to not be able to take up weapons because they didn't needed it since they had much more affinities towards magic instead.

But due to no violent nature in their mind, Ellorans could be a better human or that is what I thought as it did work and I did solo enemies who wanted to capture the City.

But how did it get teleported to here, What's even annoyingly is the fact that instead of accepting this peacefully race. They made them slaves due to how Ellorans won't fight back.

Hopefully this Empire haven't figured out Ellorans speciality with magic or else they will use this guys as catalyst or batteries.

Well, Maybe I should take this seriously. It's not like that I don't want to save them but I want everything to happen naturally as I am too much Power, If i directly intervene it'll bring the attention of folks who may be strong like me or to my level so maybe it's the best choice to have a guy representing me.

It'll be like similar to Jesus or Muhammad as at the end they'll spread my name and I'll naturally can claim the position to be a "God"

Oh well, What could possibly go wrong... I'll check on Rasul maybe later..

Zach's POV ends...

Back at Magar, Rasul was giving out a speech to his people who slowly began to walk towards the city central since they have been freed.

"My people, I have been sent here by him" The people looked to eachother wondering who it was "Our saviour is none other than our God." Many were wondering as who it was since the worship of him was banned "I understand many of you have forgotten his name, His words but he hasn't forgotten us."

Rasul gulped down before continuing "Zacherius Diavolos." The elderly who knew that name began to shake as they cried and looked to the sky in tears calling for forgiveness.

As the whole city began to erupt slowly as they realised their father, their creator, the one who grants them death and the one who they go back to after death has finally decided to help us.

Many scream for forgiveness as for the citizens, they believed their God abandoned them because they stopped praying but their God has send an prophet to preach his word and his love for his children as that alone was a motivation for them to stand up.

Rasul lifted his arm as he needed not to continue his speech as the name of their deity was more than enough for him to get the trust of his people as he won.. he saved them.. he did it..

Or did he...

After some hours later, Inside the City of Xeroth Zach was seen watering some plants since he had nothing else to do.

"Hmmm." He said to himself that "Rasul is late, Is he taking some time before saving." He began to snif the air "Thats a rotten smell.. seems like someone died somewhere." He sneezed before looking at the door Rasul went through.

"Oh well." He walked towards the door "Maybe I'll go and see what's happening there."

He grabbed the door knob and rotated it as pushing it to open it so he can enter the City of Magar where Rasul was.

But for his surprise, He didn't see no one as he entered the streets his foot steps were making splashing sounds as he looked down.

"Hmmm." He realised it was blood.

He made his way towards the city central as he saw corpses after corpses before at the very center, there was a head on a pike.

He walked closer towards the head as he stood face to face with it before saying "Reality is often disappointing." The head belonged to Rasul.

2 hours ago...

As Rasul stood their happily seeing his people pray for the God, He looked at the armed men as they cannot grab any weapons just like anyone else who is inside the city but.

Suddenly three arrows flew in from the sky as it struck his throat, chest and lower abdomen perfectly as killing him then and their.

The people saw his body falling down from the Platform as it silenced them before they all screamed "Save him" "Save the Prophet"

But before they can do anything, the armed men and everyone who weren't Ellorans began to fight back as they struck the gathered Ellorans in rage calling words which are not suited to call a human no matter what kin they are but they too were wrong.

More the arrows began to fly in as some of the armed men took cover while the rest became a fodder to raining arrows.

Two kilometres away from the City a group of men were visible along with a large army who were shooting arrows onto the City.

"It has been done." One of the men spoke who seems to be the commanding officials "The Heretic City and all those were inside is purged... Let's head back to the capital also don't forget to send some small number of men to kill the stragglers."

Inside the City, there was a blood bath as survivors began to kill all the Ellorans who were alive or barely alive brutally as butchering them.

One of them grabbed Rasul's corpse as they take out a kitchen knife as began to rub the sharp edges of the blade onto his neck as the person rubbed and rubbed as blood began to profusely drip out of his neck.

The blood splattered on the person as they rubbed the blade till Rasul's head was seperated from the neck.

But before they can finish their job, an armed man struck the person's hear with a hammer which got stuck in their head.

The armed man had to place his feet onto the person's neck as to pull the hammer out which was tightly stuck but he was able to finally pull it out even though he did broke the person's neck in process.

Seeing Rasul laying down, The armed man lifted his arm as positioning it to strike the skull of Rasul's lifeless body.

But before the armed man could do anything, One of the soldiers send in to kill the straggler launched an arrow which penetrated the armed man's arm which made him lose his grip on the hammer as the hammer fell on his face as killing him in the process.

The soldiers chopped Rasul's head as put it on a pike as an example that all heretics will be purged by the Empire or so.

Present time...

Zach stood their as he knew, he could have prevented it if he wasn't so careless especially thinking how easy it is to control human nature for bloodlust and conflict.

Suddenly he heard calls of someone as it was a soldier who spotted him and they launched 2 arrows at Zach.

Zach turned his head towards the area where the arrow came from as the arrows simply disintegrated into mere dust which shocked the soldier before they felt suffocation.

And suddenly their neck got bend towards the right side as they fell down on the ground as this alerted remaining soldiers who ran towards Zach's position.

Zach's body was being slowly covered in darks as it was spiralling around him before forming a small dark orb on his palm as he looked at them "Maybe being a villain is better.."
