Chapter 946 946: A Very Slow Death
"Please resurrect this man...
...or I will lobotomize you and do it myself. I am only asking you because the latter would take more time, Mister Randall."
Randall could not help but gulp at Riley's words; his horns glowing even more fervently than before. His eyes, moving back and forth between Riley and Miss Pepondosovich, before ultimately settling on the god of luck. Miss Pepondosovich only nodded at Randall as he looked at her, her hand still clasping Randall's as firmly as possible, almost as if she was quietly warning him not to do anything that would get him killed.
"Very well, Riley Ross." And after a few seconds of hesitation, Randall let out a long but very short sigh, "But only because you asked so politely."
The light dancing around his horns flashed dangerously at Riley's threat, but he knew better than to act on his instincts while facing the god in front of him. He knew Riley was dangerous the first time they met, he knew it in the very depths of his core, but now that that danger was pointed right at him, Randall could not help but feel so...
...small.
Back in his universe, he was considered the evilest and most heinous being - a demon god, so to speak. He had waged war and enslaved the other planets just for his own greed, they were nothing but food to him. It was really only in the end and in the Domain of the Gods that he found himself changing - that he found what he was doing futile in the grand scheme of things.
He was shown his own weakness in the Domain of the Gods as everyone here was as strong as him, some even stronger. But fear? Fear was something he thought was no longer in his vocabulary...
...or so he thought.
Although Riley's words were clearly a threat, he was not really showing even a single sign of killing intent, not even one. But that is what made Randall almost quiver where he stood, he knew Riley was going to kill him, but he could not even feel even the slightest bit of animosity in him. Even humans think or feel something when they kill an insect, but Riley?
It was almost as if taking another one's life was just something natural to him... like he was born to do so. Like everyone and everything around him was just...
...nothing.
Randall stared at Riley's empty eyes a few more seconds before he let out another sigh. And with a shake of his head, he brushed his hands along his horns, grabbing the lights that were nervously dancing on the top of his head.
"I have already told you my condition of resurrecting a corpse, Riley Ross," Randall turned to look at the corpse floating between him and Riley, "I can only resurrect them if they only died just recently, and if their body is still intact. This corpse... only fulfills one of those condition."
The upper part of the ugly man's corpse was completely intact, albeit completely pale as it probably already lost all of its blood since all of its lower part was missing; mangled, flesh and guts just hanging loosely everywhere.
"Even if I do manage to resurrect this human, he will just ultimately succumb to his own mortality. He would die faster than we could even breathe," Randall continued to explain as he stretched his hands toward the corpse; the light dancing around his arms, now veiling the mangled corpse violently, "Even if you heal him to extend his life, he will really only truly be lucid for but a moment. Anything longer than a moment, you will be speaking with a husk."
"It is fine, Mister Randall," Riley nodded, "I only need a moment."
"Riri..." Miss Pepondosovich approached the corpse as she slightly also got in between him and Randall, "...I don't really get why you're doing this. We were already at the top of the tower, it would have only taken a few more battles before we're fighting for the title of Champion and receiving the Cosmic Piece either way."
"Because I trust you more, Miss Pepondosovich."
A minute.
"I... I really don't know anything, please... I couldn't even read the contents of the book! I—Grah!"
Several more minutes.
"He... should be dead by now," Randall said as he watched as Riley continued to torture the man even after several minutes had passed, "At least his mind should be, he should no longer be reacting to anything, and yet..."
"He's still pretty much alive," Miss Pepondosovich once again sighed, "Riri must be doing something to extend his life and consciousness for as long as he could."
"This is against the law of everything, Pepondosovich," Randall whispered, "A mortal such as that one should not be alive anymore."
"We are in the Domain of the Gods, anything is poss—"
"No," Randall shook his head as he focused on Riley, "You don't understand. It is against the law of Creation... and breaking the law will have consequences."
"I will let you speak again, okay?" Riley's hand was now outside the man... along with the man's beating heart, "I want you to provide something use—"
And before Riley could finish his words, the man just suddenly disappeared. He did not fade away, he did not disintegrate or wither, he just disappeared into thin air... replaced by another silhouette, a stranger...
...but extremely familiar at the same time, a woman.
"That is enough, Riley Ross."
"!!!"
And as soon as the woman's feet landed on the mountain of corpses, Randall quickly kneeled without a word. The woman's skin was dark; her hair, silver. Her face, well, it was average... extremely so.
"You are interrupting my purpose again — even in this place. Just what am I going to do with you?"
"I told you, Miss Pepondosovich," Riley ignored the woman as he looked at Miss Pepondosovich, whose mouth was wide open as she stared at the woman,
"I was right to trust you."
"Is that..." Miss Pepondosovich gulped as it was the only thing she could really do,
"...Death?"
