625 Necessary Evil (1/2)

”You and your schemes, but why did you leave my documents there. if you were there to collect yours and Pavel's, you should have also collected mine.”

The person who spoke was a woman in the same room as Lesta.

”Who cares about those documents, they don't have any value, and without some bait, that bastard wouldn't remain there long enough. be grateful that your trash found a use.”

Lesta never measured his words when speaking with that woman. She was assigned to work under his orders, but Lesta disliked her since the moment she was introduced to him.

Moreover, she tried nonstop to seduce Lesta, but Lesta didn't even blink at her attempts.

She was only a Goddess, so she was longing for the benefits she could obtain from being with a True God, and the chance to work for Lesta was what she had been waiting, but no matter what she tried, Lesta ignored her or threatened to kill her if she disturbed him for another second.

”Even I have created some interesting things in the past...”

The woman was already depressed after being always looked down by Lesta, but she needed to admit that she was far inferior to him, so she could only endure it.

”Are you speaking about that Eraser Bomb that had its existence banned in virtually all universes? That is the only reason you are allowed by the rebels to work with me, although I find you more an annoyance than something else. Everything you make is useless.”

That woman was the same that had been supporting the Sacred Empire back then.

”I can be useful. Let me meet the little Devy. I am sure that she also needs the presence of a woman, maybe I can make her believe that I am her mother.”

That wasn't the first time that she insisted on meeting Devy, but Lesta always refused.

”As I told you countless times in the past. Meeting someone like you would corrupt her.”

When she heard the same answer as always, the woman couldn't help but mutter.

”It isn't like if you are a saint.”

It was just a mutter, but Lesta could hear it perfectly.

”I know that I am not a saint; I am evil. I am perfectly conscious of that, but in my case, I am a necessary evil, so don't put me in the same group as you.”

Among the rebels, most don't consider them to be evil since they believed that they battled for being free from the oppression of the Council of Gods.

Others were just doing it for their personal reasons and didn't care about good and evil.

Although most people felt that Lesta belonged to that group, he was one of the few that didn't care about admitting openly that he was evil.

”Same reasons as always. I have yet to hear why you are a necessary evil while I am not.”

Lesta smiled, but his next words weren't an answer.

”Now that I think about it, I have something in which you can help me, and it is related to Devy, but it will be harsh. Do you want to help or not?”

Seeing how Lesta changes the topic, the woman felt that Lesta was without arguments, so he was forced to concede a bit.

”I want.”

She could have dragged the matter more, but she didn't dare to test her luck, so she agreed quickly.

”Perfect! You will be the first who Devy resurrects.”

An instant later, the woman had been killed by Lesta.

”Oh, what a mistake. People who die in this universe can't be resurrected.”

Lesta had a wide smile that didn't fit with his words. There was no way he could make such a mistake. He planned to kill that woman from before.
