Chapter 126: Choices (2/2)
”Fooling someone is easy when they are already fooling themselves. Don't think this to be so easy. My game isn't over yet. It's only just begun.”
Alton snapped ready to kill EOR only for Zinnia to stop him, pointing. ”Alton… Look.”
Turning around Alton flinched seeing the streamer with no followers standing on a pile of snow holding the crown up admiring it. ”What the hell is this?”
Killer Queen tilted his head staring down at the streamers with a foreboding smug look. ”Foolish weaklings. Look at how you fall apart with doubt and conflict. I have grown stronger, and now my time for revenge has come.”
Scarlett stepped forward, pulling her hand back, trying to steal the crown back. The illusion broke as dozens of Killer Queens appeared all staring at the crown. ”Shit…”
EOR stood up, faking his loss as a last gamble as he bowed to them. ”This little game will only end with our victory. His story is coming to the ultimate climax as his revenge against you all is to play out.”
Refusing to give in and lose out on his wish Alton snapped freezing every target as his eyes starting glowing yellow. ”Whoever the hell you are I won't falter!” Striking the final Killer, Queen Alton was stopped unable to move. His eyes widened, finding a snake wrapped around his legs slivering up his body. The snake was the same as the streamer's tattoo plastered on his arm. ”It can't be…”
Emil rushed in panting, getting Zinnia's attention. ”Shit… I'm too late!”
”Emil? What's going on!”
”Don't… Don't let him make his wish!”
Killer Queen leaned in towards Alton, mocking him holding his cheeks tightly. ”To think I used to have problems against you in the past. Pathetic. But that is the thing of the past. For now, my revenge is at the boiling point.” Taking off his mask, Alton gritted his teeth, trying to break free. ”So, Alton how does it feel to have met your match?”
”Monty, you bastard! You never know when to quit, do you?!”
Monty smacked Alton as the snake tightened its grip, making him wince in pain. ”A Montague never knows when to quit! You've humiliated me and ruined everything! During the raid, when you became that monster, I realised first-hand how far our power was. I refused to be looked down on or to be seen as weak any longer! Now look at me you are powerless to stop what is to come.”
”Monty, don't do this… I need that wish. I don't wish to exist. It will benefit you too!”
”Oh, Alton. I understand.” Monty chuckled, tapping his cheek. ”Don't worry, I'll make your wish come true when I pry my hands from your corpse.”
Alton began freezing the snake over losing control. ”If you want to see power, I'll show you true power!”
The snake crawled up, biting Alton in the neck, stopping him in his tracks as the poison paralysed him. Zinnia gritted her teeth, wanting to help. ”Why is Monty doing this?! The trials were destroyed; he should have changed!”
”He did change. But only for the worse. His hatred for Alton has only increased his carnage.”
Zinnia punched the air like a set of lightning struck the area. Monty jumped out of the way as Alton took the carnage head-on. Turning his eyes on her Monty smirked. ”So, you've grown stronger too. How amusing. It doesn't change anything, though.” His tattoos began glowing. Nothing seemly happened until a small paper origami began floating forward.
Zinnia was left confused as Emil flinched knowing the impossible. ”Zinnia get out of there!”
Before she could react, the origami expanded similarly to Emil's powers as a hail of bullets rained down gunning down Zinnia. She hit the floor bleeding everywhere as Alton watched in horror unable to do anything. His squirms and cries are silent to the poison's effect. Monty began cackling holding the crown up, letting the glow blind him. ”Know this Alton I am more powerful than Team Rhapsody, and this crown will ascend me to that level. That is my wish. I wish to become more powerful than any of you, scum. I will defeat Team Rhapsody and have my revenge!”
