Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil-Chapter 557: The Ball That Holds an Apocalypse

Malvador had found a Vampire.

This Vampire had the Ego to turn anything into an explosive.

So Malvador asked the vampire to turn all the sand of a desert into an explosive.

The Vampire asked for a lot of money in return.

So Malvador became the King of the Vampires and then paid the Vampire for his work.

Also, the people of Jasper kingdom were also watching the war and when they heard Malvador's confession that he killed their previous king, they stopped thinking about anything. They were sad for Malvador a few moments ago but after Malvador revealed that he was the one who killed everyone related to the King and the king himself, they stopped caring about him.

Heck, they started cheering for Pablo.

But Malvador couldn't care less about it. He was going to die anyway.

The vampire whom Malvador had met took the money and turned the whole sand of the desert into an explosive. All of that sand became RDX.

After that, the vampire went away and Malvador stayed in that desert of RDX.

The next question that came after that was how would Malvador store all that RDX with him. It was literally not possible to store all that RDX.

But just like Pablo had two Egoes because he had lived two lives. Malvador had two Egoes as well.

One white ranked Ego and one black ranked Ego.

The black ranked Ego of Malvador was Blood Monarch that he had used to kill Harlia. And the white ranked Ego, he used that for…

Converting all that RDX to a single small black ball.

When Pablo had used Mimesis Malefica on Malvador, his system had automatically copied the strongest Ego it could find. So Pablo didn't get to know what Malvador's white ranked Ego could do.

But now he knew.

It could store a large thing into a small object.

"So after I got that ball," Malvador carried on. "I came back to my castle, placed the ball inside the clock and then placed the clock in front of my heart. I won't go into the specifics but I made sure to design a system. A system that will act after I die. I created this in case I am unable to kill you, Pablo. I didn't know that I would have to use it."

Malvador finished the story and Pablo found sweat on his forehead.

The soldiers didn't understand and Draxus spoke:

"Czar, what could it even do to you? Nothing will happen to you no matter how strong the explosive is, right? You are a God right now."

Pablo heard the man and shook his head.

"I might stay alive. I might. But that much RDX, it can blast the whole kingdom off, if not the whole world. You all should run away."

The soldiers went silent.

No one spoke anything and some soldiers looked at the exit of the Crucible.

But giving one look at the exit, they shook their heads.

Draxus saw them and all of them exchanged nods.

"We won't go away. If we die, we die. And even if they all go away, I will stay with you." Draxus said.

Pablo sighed. He opened his mouth but he wasn't able to speak. Because Sera cut him off.

"Yes. I won't go away as well. I love you. Death couldn't be any better if I am dying alongside you."

This girl.

Sera managed to make Pablo smile.

"Fine. Then I shall make su—"

"Coming through!!"

THUMP!

THUMP!

Two jumps happened in the Crucible.

Pablo was about to say something but he wasn't able to as someone barged in the Crucible while shouting.

And the worse part?

Everyone recognised that voice.

The ashes cleared up and two silhouettes became two real people.

"I am back, Boss!"

Flashy arrived in the Crucible.

Gerald was with him and the man simply bowed a little to Pablo.

Pablo nodded and looked at Flashy.

Flashy had a wide smile on his face as he looked around the battlefield.

"Where is everyone else?" He asked.

"They died." Pablo answered.

Flashy showed a thumbs up. "Alright."

The soldiers' brows twitched. What was the need for the thumbs up?

Flashy looked around some more and this time, his smile vanished.

"Where is my baby?" He asked.

Now Pablo's brows twitched. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Flashy sighed. As if it was Pablo's fault for not understanding.

"Look, boss. You are looking different right now. I get it. I am seeing some white men and women behind you and I don't know who they are. I am sure you must have become some kind of God right now. I respect that. But that doesn't mean you can just forget about your strongest subordinate!"

"I can never forget about Draxus."

"Fuck Draxus!"

Pablo raised one brow.

Flashy raised his hands. "Don't get angry. I mean, forget Draxus. I was talking about me."

"You are my strongest subordinate?" Pablo asked.

Flashy dropped his hands. "Yes. But I know you won't believe me, heck I didn't believe it myself. I only said it in the flow. But forget it. By baby, I meant Admiral Harlia is. Where is she? I want to ask her about marriage again."

"She is dead."

…

Flashy turned to stone.

Some soldiers laughed but when they remembered Harlia, their laughter died.

Flashy remained staring at the ground, his head hung low.

Pablo dropped the death bomb right away and the smile of Flashy went away.

Pablo would have taken it seriously if not for Flashy missing one of his eyebrows.

But Pablo made sure to not speak and let Flashy stay in his feelings.

He had really fallen in love with Harlia, and he had hopes that Harlia would accept him as well. But now she is dead. Over. Nothing would happen now.

Flashy trembled and he slowly looked up.

"How?" He asked, his face devoid of emotions.

Pablo wasted no time and pointed his finger.

"He killed her."

Flashy followed Pablo's finger and finally… 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Flashy met Malvador.
