Cult of Chaos & Order {2}

Ellie's P.O.V.

[Evil or good? Does it matter? Foolish child, I do things as I wish.]-It replied back to her question.

"Then you are the same as the guild master, who destroyed my family. Doing what you wish, ignoring the weak and innocents." I sneered at the self-proclaimed god.

[Then isn't all other gods the same including the god of justice you prayed to? These gods embraced justice because they want to impose their ideas on others isn't it? Isn't this for their self-satisfaction? If they really believed in justice would he have ignored your plead? Would they have let you go through that? Are you going to tell me that this is a trial? HAHAHA. At least I would keep words if you make a deal with me in exchange for your faith. How about it? WIlling to take a gamble?]-The voice mocked all other gods again.

"This..." I couldn't find the right words to retort.

[Oh, don't try to deny it. If they really cared about you mortals you wouldn't be suffering like how your sister did. Don't bother praying to another god... If they see the thing in you, you would have been burnt on a stake. I am the only one out there that would accept you. You felt it haven't you? The nefarious nature of the thing in you...]-The voice warned me.

I knew it was telling me the truth but I am reluctant to accept it. My little sister...

[Do you really think that your little sister would hug you if you were to reunite? Have you not noticed her eyes filled with hatred when you didn't help her? Even sending her down to a hellish life? Then let me show you...] With this, the area surrounding me changed.

I was back at the time when I had sold my little sister, the past me walk out of the slave trader's store expressionlessly. Left behind me was Elly, her eyes were focused on me, they were filled with the flames of hatred. Looking at this scene, my legs weakened and I knelt onto the floor. I was horrified by such a scene.

[Justice without power is no justice. Come, serve me and I will assist you on your journey. Together we can create order in this borderless world. With my support, you can show the world true justice. Together we can wipe out all who opposed us.] The scenery changed again, showing a magnificent future. With me wearing a pure white robe, standing at the top of the world. With me holding a staff standing tall among a crowd hailing me as a hero. Seeing my enemies struggle meaninglessly against my power...

Ah... how wonderful. Torturing the hateful guild master with my own two hands, this is magnificent indeed...

"And... what price do I have to pay to achieve this?" I asked in a trance from these wonderful visions.

[Everything...]-It replied

"I am already left with nothing if I can give you my everything in exchange for something, I accept your offer." Strangely, I did not feel disgusted or agitated. I felt a calm darkness as if all my burdens were gone.

[Very well, I hope that you would not regret your decision.]-It said joyfully.

"What is there to regret? If I give you everything, you will give me even more. I am already left with truly nothing. What is there to lose from this deal?" I said calmly, slightly mocking myself for contracting this mysterious god.

[HAHAHA I am starting to like you, you do not have to worry anymore for I have EVERYTHING under control.]-A loud laughter sounded loudly in my head.

It was now gone, the thing is me vanished. It was like a dream, just from this contract that god took the thing out of me. Is this hope? Or would I fall even further down? With this final thought, my vision slowly faded. A new beginning huh... sister I wish for your safety.

A pretty thin figure girl fell onto the ground with a slight smile on her face.

Dan stood in front of this girl. "Poor thing, you have suffered... I will give you the greatest care for you are my first follower. Sweet dreams..." Dan pitied this young girl. Experiencing such a tragic fate... this is probably the will of the world, do not worry anymore for I am here. My existence alone in this world is a defiance of the will of the world. Looks like the will of Alcanti will make it difficult for me to advance.

[Oh? My dear host is capable of such emotions?]-System commented.

[While I pity many people in both worlds, I only take actions when I feel like it... I am not a good person. The world has so many pitiful people if I help everyone then will I be happy? Ridiculous, my moral values are not aligned with the society. I am selfish if power is given to me I will abuse it, that is the kind of person I am.]-Dan mocked himself.

[It is exactly this reason you are summoned besides your capabilities. It is not entertaining for us to watch a person who follows the society's values to the point of refusing to kill.]-System explained without any emotions.

[I know. I figured that out quite some time ago.]-Dan replied while smiling.

[The supreme one was not wrong for picking you. Instead of being angry, you are grateful, would you have regretted your decision if we had listened to you and not summoned you into this world?]-System asked.

[Indeed I would have regretted it, hahaha, this is wonderful.]-Dan replied.

It's time for the next target, the orphanage near the Entropy. Dan thought after sending Ellie into his dungeon master room, she slept soundly on the comfortable bed.

[Funny, this is morally wrong on so many levels. Brainwashing small children to join my cult. Great!!]-Dan laughed at this idea.

[This exists on Earth too doesn't it. Earth has many religions, some of them even refused to believe in science just because of their belief. Humans are foolish beings.]-System said insulting humanity.

[You are right. Humanity cannot exist without faith in gods. No matter how advanced we get there will always be religious beliefs no matter how little.]-Dan agreed.

[Strange, you are not mad?]-System asked.

[Why would I be mad, what does you insulting humanity have to do with me? If we don't accept the dirtiest part of ourselves how would we improve? The reason why I do not struggle much with moral values is that I already accepted who I am a long time ago.]-Dan said.

[I see, we are about to reach our destination]-System said.

In front...
