Chapter 695: Coming Out (2/2)

”This is ridiculous! It didn't do anything at all. It merely turned its body in our direction. How can such a powerful being exist?”

It was then that an idea appeared in Franlia's mind. She looked at Krune and Iem and noticed that they also looked surprised. However, different from the others, she couldn't feel any fear coming from them.

'Was it them who awakened the Demon Beast?'

Franlia was right on point!

Going back in time, Krune and Iem kept helping Zule absorb the Silver Flames. The more he did it, the more of his memories he awakened. Suddenly, Krune felt like Zule was about to cry, so they stopped for a moment.

”What is it, Zule?”

Zule bitterly smiled as he answered.

”No wonder Kun-Peng's hatred goes so deep! Betrayal was the least of the problems... He fell into a trap made by his own kind. It would be one thing if he was the only one caught in it. However, his own family was also used as a sacrifice during that time.”

Luvile and Harold were the most curious ones.

”His kind? His family? Are you saying that there are more Primordial Kun-Pengs?”

Zule nodded as he remembered the past.

”There are. Primordial Demon Beasts... they are not as rare as you think.”

That came as a great shock for everyone hearing. After all, no Primordial Demon Beast had appeared for countless Chaos Cycles. How come they are not rare? Even Luvile and Harold were startled by that news. They heard from Zule before that he was betrayed. However, they thought that it was the action of some other Primordial Demon Beast.

”Why have we never seen one, then? Just where have they gone? Could it be that they never cared about the Four Realms?”

Zule shook his head in response.

”I still lack a lot of my memories. I only remember the part where my family and I were used as a sacrifice because this was a powerful memory.”

”Sacrifice for what?”

”I don't... remember.”

Luvile then urged Krune and Iem.

”Go, go, go! Let's help him recover the rest of the Silver Flames.”

However, Krune didn't move straight away.

”Zule, are you sure you want to continue? Is there not a chance that this revenge feeling will overtake your soul as well? I know that you said that you aren't the same Kun-Peng anymore, but still...”

Zule sighed as he shook his head.

”Don't worry. I'm not Kun-Peng anymore, but I'm him at the same time. It's not wrong to say that I experienced a rebirth after being absorbed by the Space Heavenly Fragment. I have full control over my own soul. Those other Soul Fragments can't force me to do anything. Instead, you should have noticed already. Whenever they are about to be completely absorbed by me, they can link their feelings with my own. Because of that, they know that I will get revenge for us. It's just that I won't destroy the Four Realms as we initially intended. I'm soothing their urges with my own way of doing things.”

Iem then asked.

”So, the ones you want to get revenge against are the members of your own Primordial Kun-Peng Race?”

Zule pondered a bit and then replied.

”I'm not sure. However, I don't think that getting revenge in the entire race is right. After all, chances are that the majority don't even know what happened. Why would I get revenge against clueless Kun-Pengs? Anyway, I need to recover more of my memories to get a feeling of what I should do next.”

Krune nodded.

”Alright, but if you feel that you are losing control over those Soul Fragments, you must tell me straight away. The last thing we need is to have a Kun-Peng attacking us. That would be terrifying for sure.”

Zule nodded.

”Don't worry, I can do it. Let's continue.”
