Chapter 423 Cycle Of Life And Death

"What's that shi+eld?" Clint said, nudging his chin towards the energy construct strapped to Thanatos's forearift," said Thanatos, somber "And a reminder of what I have to do"

Thanatos raised his ar in its verdant splendor He looked al stalith a syh above to protect all life But the way Thanatos was ar, stitched souls made it clear that he much more than a protector of life

He was a dealer of death

Both guardian and destroyer

And this boundary, too, represented that dichotomy

Thanatos crushed his hand into a fist The shi+eld separated froh above his head Its diadeated on one side, looked almost like the hand of a clock Here, the shi+eld pointed upwards, towards where twelve would be if it was a tiht exploded outwards in a blinding flash

Within the eye-crushi+ng light, tily bereft of anything, Aldrich saw atowards hi him in his human form in his suit

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be" The Hero shook his head "You probably think you destroyed everything No, you know it You felt it because up until a little while ago, it was a life you were living

But it was a life and a world that existed only because you dreamed it up And a dream, no matter how nice it is, is always destined to end when the dreamer wakes up"

"That doesn't an Aldrich, but the Hero cut hiloved hand

"Yeah, I know, but you felt everything I lost just as h No need to add onto the pile"

Aldrich nodded, and together, the Hero and the Necroether in silence for a few moments Moether

"What are you, anyway?" said Aldrich, breaking the silence

"I didn't think you would be the one to break the silence, brooding look and all" The Hero smirked "But to answer your question, I don't know exactly, but whatever I aed with that world, specifically with me
