Chapter 587

The walk back felt long compared to his mad rush there, all the more so for the new wounds he carried with him as he forced his body on while he slowly made his way back to the group looking after Thera, finding them to be in the same place he left them.

Is it done? The leader of the lot asked Ben as he arrived. Is it over?

As over as its going to be, He shrugged, trying to ignore the pain the small act caused in him. Were going to be having a ghost problem for a while but not much we can do about that.

And it will only get worse with time.

Even without anything controlling them, as hints of sanity and understanding came back to the disembodied souls they would once more gain control over some of the powers they held in life. Sure, there would be those who would simply pass on once free from the hells and there were going to be plenty who didnt have a skill set that would translate well to their new astral forms, but there were sure to be great mages among them who would be able to cause unheard-of levels of devastation.

But thats officially not my problem. The world is saved and the gods can ask the light and death spirits to help handle everything that escaped. For the time being, I have other things to worry about.

Myriad said in his head, sounding so very tired. New novel chapters are published on no/vel(b)in(.)co/m

This entire day has been quite the adventure but hold that thought for one second.

You. First, He told her firmly. I accidentally exposed way too much of my mind to you before, if I managed to accidentally damage your brain then it needs to be fixed. I will live until youre done.

Fine, then catch me up on what happened while I was out. Did we do it?

The outsiders dead and I closed the gate to hell, He confirmed while avoiding giving any more detail when people he didnt know surrounded them still. No matter how justified he was in killing one of the world's few demigods, that wasnt exactly an accomplishment he wanted to spread and she seemed to pick up on that, not pressing for more at the time, even as she wondered where so many of his new wounds had come from.

You dont even have a head, but fine, go on, I have stuff to do too anyway.

What he didnt say was just what that stuff was as he laid back and closed his eyes, sending up a small prayer to Myriad as he didnt try to go to his gods realm, but instead followed the path it made as it went to the cube, finding himself standing among a meeting of the gods that none there would have wanted him in as the divine around him began to take notice as comments and cries went up among them.

He didnt particularly care though. Seeing if he could pull off a move like that had been a test of the limits of his sacrilege but since he had succeeded, he had something to get off his chest as he yelled out at all of them.

IF I EVER FIND OUT THAT MY WEAPONS ARE ENDING UP IN THE HANDS OF THE CHURCH OF ENETH, OLENSIA, OR ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS FUCKING TRIED TO KILL ME AGAIN, I AM DONE, DO YOU ALL FUCKING UNDERSTAND? BECAUSE OF THIS BULLSHIT, IF YOU WANT ME TO KEEP MAKING SHIT FOR THE WAR EFFORTS MY PRICES HAVE OFFICIALLY TRIPLED.

He didnt wait to see what any of them would say, he didnt care. Having got that out of his system he went back down to fume and plan on how to survive in a world where so many seemed like theyd be more than happy to see him dead.
