I'm Not A Monster

Haedon opened his eyes and breathed out. The sheer pressure in his breath caused cracks in the asteroid he was sitting on.

Most of his injuries remained. Without his healing potions, his natural regeneration worked very slowly against the injuries he got in the turbulent space.

'I almost died…' Abyss Emperor was a very experienced warrior but he still felt his heart palpitate when he recalled the hazardous journey from the unstable space gate.

It's solely the fault of Varian and Enigma that the space altars were destroyed. If they didn't touch those altars, then Haedon would've come here at his full strength. As a Rank 2 Celestial.

"And I could've brought them here, saved them. They could've been alive." Haedon's eyes blazed with fury even as they turned wet in grief. "You killed them, Varian. You will pay for it. You and everyone you know."

It was less of a statement than it was a promise to his dead family.
