Chapter 229: U Before V (2)

"It's fine, let her go"

"But…"

It wasn't hard to find ies of London– or at least what remained of it in the news and social e of the huge ocean of green electricity that decimated London

As soon as Butcher turned on the TV, the aftermath of what happened quickly bombarded everyone's eyes– but even then, the time it took for V to run towards one of her mecha suits that were parked at the corner of her cha why Tempo was adamant that she should not be left alone… and now she knew the reason

And the only thing she could really do was run away

As for why? She had no idea

She just got inside her h the vent that was tailor-ht outside of their base It took exactly 5 seconds before V's vision shi+fted to the scenery of the sky– around her, nothing but the darkness that the night held; theon the horizon of the sea

The soles of theher away as a quiet thunder roared through the skies; she did not even bother to look back at the large tower behind her; continuing to fly for a few more seconds until she reached an empty shore

She quickly landed towards the beach, causing all the sand to ripple away; her h it like veins faded away And if one were to listen closely behind the rain of sands and the roaring of the seas… there was a quiet whisper

ReadNovelFull from the crevices of V's mecha suit– a whimper, a cry

More than 5 million people– dead because of her No uilt that was crawling… No The guilt that was chewing her fro of her to feel anything else

She has saved thousands of people during her stint as a superhero– but 5 million people? Hoould she even hope to actually make amends with that? Even if she happened to rescue ain

She's ashe hated the most in the world– Darkday

All those lives… all those lives… all those lives

Dead… dead… dead…

The words kept repeating inside of V's reen fro Her entire body was in a curl, her fingers al to pull out her hair; which has now turned white see of all her powers in London

"What… what do I do? What do I do?"

V whispered and whispered, wanting someone to answer her– but at the same time, no If she really wanted an answer, then she wouldn't have run away from the rest of her comrades She knew… she knew in herself that she could never atone for what she had done

Even if the others have said that it wasn't her fault almost a hundred ti's family– those people still died by her hands Their blood was on hers

A whirling whistle then huain lit up; its once stagnant legs… leaving trails on the beach as they dragged themselves back to where they came from– the sea

"This… this is better," V then whispered as the mecha suit continued to walk towards the endless darkness, "If… if I disappear… then none… soain"

V's tre inside thesoh the s

"It's cold…" V then whispered; the tone of her voice, completely sedated as she rested her head back, "I am… so sorry"

V could feel the water inside herher to slightly flinch fro she did was tighten her fists and bite her lip

Her head then began to tremble violently as the water reached her neck; her body see wrapped in– but V re parts of theup from the salt water

Slow

Why was it so slow? She thought Just a little ed with the water So as it so slow? She could feel the cold just under her ears, she should have already lost the ability to breathe by now– but still, her lungs see for air

"Just… just letas she did so She then took several deep breaths as she raised her hands– wanting to push herself down to get all of this over with

But before her hands could accuth, the water within the mecha suit started to disperse; the water that was supposed to already cover her head, now suddenly below her waist

"W… what?" V blinked a couple of ti her away from the ocean; she then quickly turned on all the ree view of her surroundings

Her eyes did not have to search for long, however, as she saw a face in front of one of herher to eject herself from the shock as the face was completely white, even the hair that–

"Riley Ross!?"

The mecha suit opened up without even a second later, with V al from the robot as she leaned her head to try and find Riley Ross; but no h the darkness, there was no sign of Riley anywhere
