299 Chapter 299 (2/2)
”I knew while I'm away, you all will definitely do something stupid” Demos figure appeared beside the dummy version meant to lead Derik and the rest for the mystical land.
From the look on his face, they could tell Demos was infuriated by their actions and they really didn't know how to face him or explain their actions. It couldn't be helped, the people who believed in were in trouble so they chose to lend them a hand. At that moment, keeping their sect members alive was not something they regretted doing.
”It was necessary…” Cyrus spoke up first.
”We had to do it… We had to keep them safe” Derik added.
”Hehehe… you are standing above the endless seas, filled with gold realm monsters and above… with zero checkpoints where you can rest and replenish your concentration and you chose to all your energy on opening a new gate to your domain just to help a bunch of silver realm warriors and mages in their little struggle?” Demos cold voice made them feel insecure.
”Those silver realm mages and warriors are our people…. We brought them under our wings and trained them… we have led them to the right path, our path for a while now and we have a place in their hearts… we can't abandon them at the time of their need! We just can't” Cyrus roared in defiance.
”He is right… we are their god, saviors, and the ones they look up to… what kind of people will we become if we can't keep them safe at a time like this…. They are only suffering this much because we made so many enemies… the empire wants to bring them down because of us… we can't have that… I won't have that… even if I can turn back the hands of time… I definitely will do the same thing again” Derik took a step forward as he spoke.
Clap!
Clap!!
Clap!!!
”Good… very good… You all want to play god? then I will have you understand why the role of a god is more of a burden than a gift…. Have you ever asked yourselves why gods let calamity happen and watch their creations get slaughtered, yet they don't lift a finger… Do you think its because they don't care? They are just saving their strength for greater calamities to come…. Don't be delusional boys! There are some things that must be ignored… for every action, there must be a reaction… You may have saved your people but what about yourselves… do you have the strength to continue this journey…. You claim to have done this to save your people but all I can see are the saviors of this world choosing to save a few and abandoning the rest! Sometimes you have to let the few die to save the many” Demos rebuked.
