328 Judgemen (1/2)
---
Raven hovered in the air, clad with his majestic silver armor and his Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer raised.
Above him was titanic sized hand covered with a sparkling golden hue. The Golden Hand radiated a kind of power that none of the primates had ever felt before.
It was awe-inspiring, strong and impossibly huge.
None of the primates had any doubts that if this hand fell down, it will create so much devastation and will wipe out a good chunk of the land.
To them, Raven looked nothing like a human right now.
In their eyes, he was a god.
A death god who's peace was disturbed and is handing down judgement on behalf of the heavens.
”Stop speaking nonsense!!”
Harry roared out in anger and fear. He was impressed by himself since he was still able to speak even after being exposed to this godly power. But regardless of what he felt, he still needed to try his best to stop Raven, or else his tribe cease to exist.
”We presented ourselves as threat to humans?” Harry spoke in a distressed tone, ”We did no such thing! Everything I did, I did it to unify our race! I never had any thoughts of moving against humans from the very beginning!”
”Even though our founders had been long dead, I still respected their upbringing. I knew that they wouldn't want us to fight with humans since they were raised by one and I have similar thoughts! It was you who came up with all of this. You just wanted to kill for your own entertainment!”
Harry's reasoning and accusations made complete sense to the primates who were listening to him. So much so that even Charles himself, was nearly convinced. Unfortunately, Charles knew Harry's character too well and he couldn't help but to shake his head in pity because his old fried just cemented their fates from the moment he said all that.
”Aww.” Raven mocked. ”Look at you, using the pity card all of a sudden. Oh, whatever shall I do?”
Raven's voice was overflowing with sarcasm as he looked at Harry. He chuckled out of nowhere and said:
”Let me ask you this, Monkey.” Raven went back to his casual way talking, ”Let's say, that everything you said was true…what about it?”
Raven raised his brow and waited for Harry's response. The latter gawked upon hearing his words and became completely stumped. He tried opening his mouth to retort but no words will come out. Raven didn't make this situation any better with his bored look.
Charles who was watching from below shook his head and sighed. He thought to himself 'They're done for.'
”Did you honestly think that I, a human, would conform to the morals of you monkeys?” Raven asked in a mocking tone. ”Don't make me laugh.”
”Do you know what we, humans call the area that you and your people live in?” Raven asked, he paused for a moment and after seeing that Harry was speechless, he decided to continue.
”The Red Zone is oozing with numerous - no, make that countless. Countless of dangerous Demonic Beasts. Our home will be attacked hundreds of thousands of Demonic Beasts at least once a year. Every time that happens, many of my kind will die in your hands. Many humans died because you beasts seek to destroy us, the number is so great that if we pile the corpses together, we will be surrounded with mountains of corpses.”
”Do you see where I'm going here?” Raven asked, but Harry was still speechless. ”If you still can't, then let me enlighten you.”
”Your race and mine. We are enemies.”
Raven said this words casually, yet the revelation still stumped many of them. For some reason, majority of them wanted to retort his words yet similar to Harry, they had no words. What Raven said next, solidified this statement even further.
”While it's true that your founders were raised by a human, they are the only one's that I could consider as allies.” Raven stated, ”Their father must've adopted them from their infancy and taught them not to hurt humans, which is why they didn't and embraced our culture as well. I would even believe you if you told me that your founders once thought that they were humans too. But that's that.”
