The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 296: Spiders and Fire

I arrive on the terrace where my dragons are standing still, surrounding several people. It’s very ironic to see them here.

"Hello everyone, I believe you all know me?" I look at the colors of their emotions, a jumble of fear, anger, and desperation.

"Look, spectators people who are truly important, not just for Japan, but for various places around the world. Isn’t that fun?" I approach them, speaking to the live stream using the shadows to hold the phone.

"Hmm?" A message catches my attention, making me stop. The message asks what they did, and because of my speed, the entire chat is slow, so I saw 100% of the messages. This is the first time they’re asking not why I’m killing, but why these people are dying.

"Great question what did these people do to be judged as bad? Know that I can easily answer that." I say, while pulling various papers out of the shadows.

I had gotten them more to know what these bastards do with their lives rather than to show the world, but I liked the question.

"Here we have some papers I ’borrowed’ from the office, safe, drawer, and room of everyone here."

"These papers talk about many things corruption, money laundering, cover-ups of crimes and accidents, some even trafficking, drug dealing, and other illegal businesses."

"Of course, the crimes of some of those here are minor, but that doesn’t change the fact that they exist...but to me, those crimes are nothing." I throw the papers on the floor with the shadows there are many of them.

While spreading copies through the city with the shadows for anyone interested, although I doubt many will have the chance to read them.

"To me, their greatest sin was covering up the crimes of their children." I say, approaching the parents of the heroes. They try to speak to me, but I just ignore them.

"These vermin covered up all the bad things their children did, and it wasn’t a small thing, no. The children of these people did many bad things, but justice never caught up to them."

"All because their parents protected them. I’m not saying it’s wrong for parents to protect their children if I had a child, I would care for them like a mother owl."

"However, there is a big difference between covering up the stupidities of your children and protecting them." If I had a child, I would teach them to kill, torture, rule, and be a king like me. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

But in this case, it’s because it’s natural for our species to be that way. However, they are humans they should have taught their children the right path instead of covering up their crimes.

"Honestly, if my child did something I considered wrong in any way, I would beat them until they learned what they did wrong." If I had a child and they severely hurt their mother or tried to betray me, I wouldn’t kill them, but I would beat them until they regretted that mistake.

Although I doubt a child of mine could betray me or their second mother, since my mother made our race have a strong, united family bond.

"So these parents who covered up the various crimes of their children and still treated them as heroes or incredible people deserve punishment." The live stream sends another question.

’...They’re smart with these questions.’

"Someone asked why I care so much about this, and the answer is simple it’s because the children of the people who are here decided to try to kill me." The chat momentarily stops responding.

"Isn’t it funny? As if humans could have the audacity to think of killing a deity." The parents of the heroes reach the conclusion that I made their children disappear, so they start yelling at me.

’It wasn’t me, but whatever.’ I decide what kind of torture I’ll give these people. There are many of them, and anyway, within my universe they will be physically tortured every day, so I’ll use psychological torture.

"I’ll give you a chance to get out alive. I’ll let you run, and those of you who manage to get out of the school area will continue living...however, those who are caught will be brutally killed, and their souls will be taken by me." I say with a diabolical smile that causes shivers.

"Okay, you can go." I say as the dragons make space. Most of them run to the door, but some more frightened ones are still frozen in place.

"You stay." I say, grabbing a tall woman with black hair and brown eyes. This one, I really won’t have the patience to just let run.

"B-But..."

"Hana Watanabe is your daughter, right?" I question, being absolutely certain. They’re identical the daughter really took after the mother.

"Y-Yes..."

"Did you know your daughter killed someone? I bet you knew, didn’t you? After all, you were the ones who covered up the case." She tries to say something, but I shove my hand in her mouth, forcing her to swallow a huge shadow spider.

She tries to spit it out as I push her to the ground, looking at this bitch. Hana killed my mother, and I’ll never forget that. The 6 of them are guilty and were together, but Hana is the one with the greatest guilt in this case.

Of course, I’ll make them all pay, but I think Hana’s mother deserves something more special since she decided to cover up something like a murder, all to defend the image of her precious daughter.

"W-Wait, p-please, I..."

"Shhh, don’t talk much or it might get agitated and start biting your body." I say with a "gentle" smile.

"You know, I like animals. They’re simple beings that we can easily train. Insects are also cool they have varied forms and do many things."

"And thanks to them, I have great shadow ideas...this spider will make its nest in your body. It will look for a warm, moist place and start creating a good environment for itself."

"After that, it will die in that place, and from your body, many smaller spiders will emerge. They’re quite small, so at least 200 will come out of your body."

"But with a single mission to eat." I say, stepping away from her as she becomes terrified, putting her hand on her stomach.

"Of course, don’t expect a slow process. The ’mother’ spider will soon die. I’d say you have 5 minutes before you’re killed." I watch the scene, knowing the parents of the heroes won’t escape the building.

Because at every exit, window, air duct, or crack, there is a shadow guarding the place. This school has become an impossible prison to escape without magic. I also reinforced the glass and walls of each place with mana, so they couldn’t even break a way out.

I just watch Hana’s mother desperate as the live stream records everything. The first sign of the death of the larger spider happens Hana’s mother’s belly swells a bit, as it seems the spider decided the liver was the best place to lay its "children" before dying.

"..." I just observe as she starts screaming in pain. The small spiders have only one duty to eat everything in their path until they completely consume the body.

"You know, if you eat this here, the spiders will stop for a moment." I say, throwing several small red stones on the ground. Hana’s mother crawls desperately and puts one in her mouth, swallowing it, and starts screaming even more desperately.

"I just didn’t warn that as soon as it’s swallowed, it gets quite hot. You see, insects don’t like fire." I say as Hana’s mother has only two options to be devoured alive or to keep swallowing these fire mana stones.

She screams as I smell the scent of burnt flesh, but the spiders have stopped their movements for a brief moment. But soon they start moving again because the stone loses heat quickly, and she is forced to swallow another one.

The heat burns her throat, esophagus, and reaches her stomach, where it burns the flesh and emanates heat for a brief moment, but soon the heat stops, and she is forced to eat another stone.

"..." The live stream is horrified as I just watch her continue to eat these stones to avoid being devoured alive.

"It’s bad to be burned, isn’t it? I bet it’s really painful to get a burn...yes, dying from fire is hell." I say with a huge smile on my face.

"GHYAAAAAAAA" She lets out a huge scream as her whole body instantly combusts. I knew it would be like this she had swallowed many fire mana stones.

The stones may not have been emitting heat, but they hadn’t lost their power, they were just inactive. However, as she kept swallowing them, the mana and the element obviously accumulated.

I watch as she crawls, on fire and begging for help, while spiders come out of her mouth trying to save themselves.

"..." Her hand approaches me, but falls to the ground, indicating her death, while the simple dimension where my father’s soul is gains a new soul.

"Yes, dying by fire seems painful." I’ve had molten lava poured into my body before fire is nothing compared to the white flames of Mikael’s attacks.

I get up, leaving the charred corpse there, while deciding to start the hunt. There are 48 left, and I have time, so I’ll enjoy chasing them down.

"1...2...3...I’ll find them all at once...4...5...6..." I start humming to increase the psychological terror even more. It’s similar to what I did with Zephyra in the village, where she hid and I purposely didn’t find her, just to increase her fear and hope.

Of course, I know exactly where each of them is. Some are running, trying to find the exit, others have hidden, and others are trying to set up ambushes to try to kill me, as if that would work.

I just hum a melody that becomes chilling with my voice, while the phone records everything for the live stream to watch.
