Chapter 352: Why angels envied humans. [1/2]



{Snapshot} allowed her to see random snippets of a person\'s life. It was pretty obvious who she wanted to use this skill on. And yet, against her will, the target of her affection refused to acknowledge her.

The one friend who was supposed to be her comfort left the world. Even worse, she was erased by the Reapers because she was a danger to Zach. How cruel. I remember his words the day he challenged me to go to war with the Saviors.

"Look, it\'s not that I don\'t understand, but I made the same sacrifice. I am already a Specter. Why do you think I did it? Because I wanted to lose my memories? No! It was because there was no other choice!

If everyone followed them, how would we replenish the assault teams?"

" I fight so that someone would keep David company."

The realization sent a shiver down my spine. According to Constance, Zach loved Emily dearly, but similar to Xander, he no longer remembers her. It was only because his main purpose was not tied to Emily but to David that he could move on.

Would I be the same? My main regret was to make sure I lived this life for me. If the Sirens were to die, would I not be able to remember them, despite what I feel now?

A feeling of helplessness washed over me. You would think that for all their supposed power, the Reapers would be denied such a simple right. For the first time since my death, I regretted becoming a Reaper.

"Was this why angels envied humans?" I muttered to myself.

I was born and raised in America, so of course I knew about the God of the Bible. To me, a guy who preached peace and forgiveness was better than the alternative. After all, if your most revered religious prophet was a fucking pedophile, it hardly bodes well for those who follow him.

Man was supposedly God\'s greatest creation, but what about the angels? Why did they, despite living in heaven, come down to mingle with humans? Even risking being corrupted and falling to become demons.

Not that it mattered. Right now I was at a crossroads. I had no idea what Zach would do if I took his supposed wife under my wing. For one thing, I couldn\'t face him. Not yet. On top of that, I was mercilessly humiliated every time I fought a specter.

Maybe I could use her as a hostage? No, hostages only work if they have value. If Zach made no effort to save Constance, it might mean he literally did not care. Still, the ability to see a target\'s past regardless of their will is something I can use.

"Constance Faye, I accept your request. From this moment on, you belong to Hellsend."

"!!!"

The reporter gasped at my words. What the girls were all saying was true. Virtually all of my girls were scolding her for her belief that we were equals. She had nothing to bargain with. All she had were her connections and maybe a few souls.

And yet. I wanted to help her. Just because I wanted to give a fuck you to the shitty rules of the Hellsgate. Erasing people for the sake of the many? Fuck you all, as an American I will never bow to tyranny.

Constance threw herself at my feet, crying. "Thank you Limitless, thank you. I will forever be loyal to you. Please help me. Please save me from this hell."

I kneeled down and pushed her away. "I never said I would save you. You should save yourself. But Hellsend does not care what you have done or who you are. If you are willing to pick up a gun and fight the undead, then you are one of us."

Sobbing, the reporter grabbed my hand and kissed it. "I am willing, my lord. I will prove myself to you. Thank you for giving me a chance."

Thinking about it now, if she was practically begging to join us, it meant that everyone else had turned her away. And I could understand why.

Zachary Lynch had that much power. Who would risk telling the Nightmare that his kindred died because of you?

I helped her to her feet and noticed my girls, all with unhappy faces.

"I apologize for deciding on my own, all of you."

"Honey, I don\'t think anyone cares one bit."

"Husband, the problem is that this vixen is married and still clings to you like a damsel in distress."

"Ah!" I belatedly realized that the reporter was still crying on my shoulder.

Aki approached us and violently pulled the reporter away from me. She then made the woman stare into her eyes while smiling and threatening her.

"Faye-san, let go of my man. I will put a bullet in you if you touch him again."

Constance fearlessly moved her face inches away from Aki.

"What makes you think I want to be with Limitless? Are you stupid? I practically just said I was ready to give up everything for Zach. Why should I even care about your husband?"

While the two were still bickering, Lilly, Jo, Liv and Robyn returned. As they argued, I could feel signals moving through the air. This probably meant that Bella, Jas or Aki were keeping the other girls informed of the situation.

The Sirens moved more or less as one. I noticed how they wordlessly assigned tasks to each other. What happened before was a good example. Originally all seven Sirens were still talking to Constance.

But the moment Bella moved. Lilly went to talk to Hellsend, while Jo, Liv and Robyn blocked Patrick and his group. Bella, Aki and Jas stood like a shield between Constance and me.

Add to that their creation of the {Program} [Beacon], I was certain that the Sirens were beginning to make plans of their own. It was a common pitfall for couples to want to know everything together.

Separate lives were still necessary, even if you had a significant other. So I wasn\'t going to pry, I trusted them after all. But it might be a good idea to have some plans of my own.

Liv came in and forcibly separated Aki and Constance. Her large frame towered over the two bickering women. It was even funny how Aki was acting like a hooligan. Usually she was the one who spoke the least.

"That\'s enough, you two. Play nice. Constance, stay away from my Beloved. Do that and the Sirens will never be your enemy."

"Constance Faye, I know you have manipulated Dearest with your sob stories. I expect your magic in the video later. If we do not increase our pot by at least 20%, I will kick you out."

Unlike Liv and Lilly, Robyn and Jo ran right up to me and gave me a big hug. Their momentum was not enough to knock me down, but I fell anyway. Rather than risk them hitting their faces on my torso, I just broke their fall.
