Chapter 357 - 356: Lives That Were Lost

'Do you believe in God?'

Perhaps that was a question that Van had been asked only once in his life It was back when the Circle tried to visit his ho about it, they were probably recruiting people to test and turn into enhanced humans

In truth, Van did not believe in any of those things, one ht even say he abhors it-- for what kind of God leaves a child like hi what he kno; that his father was just influenced to do the things he did; and that it was the doing of his own ht even say that it truly and literally was the doing of a God

How can he deny their existence, when two are right in front of hi one

"What… are you trying to say, Athena?"

And now, faced with Athena's question, Van could not help but ponder, "But weren't you the one that said that my universe, this universe didn't have a God? That's why Seraph Azrael chose it in the first place"

"A calculated guess," Athena breathed out as she stabbed the ground with her spear even deeper, coht turn out to be wrong after all There is also a chance that one of the other Seraph survived, but seeing as I saw all of them die besides Azrael, then it is unlikely-- and I am sure your mother would have known if one of her kind is alive"

"So… you're saying there's another party involved out there?"

"Mayb--"

"Get on with it! Punish hi bored!"

Athena's voice was then quickly overwhel from the mezzanine Just earlier, the room was filled with drama and action; they were excited to see blood shed, especially fro in the Palace

They didn't hate theevery day For theht," Athena then shook her head in distraught She was so engrossed with the thought that thereall of their actions, and she had no idea of their existence If there really is, then Athena was sure that they would be revealing themselves soon-- especially since it was about time for the World Eaters to come to this universe

But for now, that wasn't their proble, and punish Evans," Athena then re Dionysus's sto so, "What is your verdict, what sort of punishment shall be laid down upon this traitor?"

"" Van would lie if he said that he wasn't as curious as Athena If there really was another God here… then would Evangeline knoho or what it is? However, after pondering it for a bit, Van shook his head Athena was right, this wasn't the right ti like this

Once again, the Aesir that atching on theas Van's long and deep sigh reached their ears Finally, they were about to see some action

However, to their disappoint to each other

"Rather than a punishment, shouldn't we just kill him?" Van muttered, "The two of you are the only one left of your kind, I think ittormented for almost an eternity"

"2000 years is a short ti that I a to sacrifice all of le purpose? Whatever is left of the Olyet that But if you wish to kill hi, in the end, is up to you, King Evans"

"H to see if there was any hesitation in her eyes; but not even once did she show signs of faltering He then turned his head towards Dionysus, whose eyes were endlessly looking at hi

"It… truly is sad to see you this way, Dionysus," Van then muttered as he approached Dionysus, "First you were trapped inside a Frage to regain a semblance of freedom… you were sent here to live for another eternity I suppose it's easy for someone to lose hi Evans!?" Dionysus struggled to get up from the floor, but as soon as he was able to, he quickly kneeled in front of Van, "My… my very core is to have fun and to share joy to the world, that is my essence as a God With the Aesir, I could do just that!"

"Maybe," Van shrugged his shoulder as he grabbed Athena's spear frohtly raise an eyebrow, "But then again, you weren't the only one who experienced the saer tiht have lost her mind in the end… but she remained loyal to the people she loved; and she's not even a God"

"I… I was alone!"

"So was she," Van quickly replied, "You… are just weak, Dionysus Even when you were trapped in the Frag insane e found you-- bla everyone else for your de in on Van's words, could not help but take in a short but deep breath However, Van's next words coo," Van said as he leaped over Dionysus, before heading towards the door of the tavern, "You have no use to us dead, I already absorbed your God Soul; and in truth, you're too weak to be of any threat to us You can run to your newOdin already knows of our existence I suppose what I a to say here is…
