Chapter 554 : The Arrogance of the Gods.
Walking through the streets of the city he was born in, Victor felt strange.
The reason? The clear lack of people. Even though it was still morning, there should have been more people on the street, but the street was practically deserted.
"Everyone is scared, huh." He looked at the few humans who were still outside, but despite this country being at ’peace’, the news worried everyone.
The government tried its best to cover the news, but it was impossible to hide it completely when two or more countries disappeared from the world.
"The supernatural has become visible to everyone, and the barrier that has never been crossed before has been crossed." Aphrodite, who was in the form of her alter ego named Renata, spoke.
"Will the gods do something about it?"
"They will probably use some divine art to make mortals forget about the supernatural."
"… But the lives lost won’t come back."
"Yes, that’s too big an incident to resolve with just a memory change." Aphrodite nodded.
Half of the globe has been destroyed by demons, and some countries are already considered hell on Earth.
"Economic crisis going on, people afraid of death and the unknown, anarchy has set in around the world, governments not knowing what to do, and humanity’s only ally is locked in a defensive war." Victor spoke.
The power fluctuations were so pronounced that Victor and Aphrodite could feel them even from afar.
The Vatican was in a siege war, which was obvious to anyone with any energy awareness.
"Most of the world’s governments know about the supernatural, but the common people have been kept in the dark about it."
"And when they saw hordes of demonic beings walking through the city, everyone was afraid, and feelings were running high." Aphrodite spoke.
Even Victor’s area wasn’t left out. Some demons appeared and caused a little chaos that was soon resolved. After all, this was still Violet’s territory, and Victor still had his forces stationed here.
"..." Victor nodded, looked up, and saw the crack of an opening in a window. With his vision, he could see someone’s eye watching cautiously.
Fear and caution could be seen in that gaze.
[So much negativity...] Roxanne took a deep breath in Kaguya’s shadow world.
[I love it~...]
"....." Victor raised his eyebrow and saw a red energy with dark shades of black coming towards him and entering his body.
