Game of Divines (GoD)

Chapter IV: Unleashing Wrath

"What's a worthless human like you doing here?! This must be the work of my brother again. Let me have your body! I'll put it to better use."

This voice... It must be one of the Seven Demons. Wrath.

"Fine! Take my body!"

"What?"

"I said, I accept you into my body!"

"That's not how humans usually react."

"I want revenge! On those who hurt me, who killed my parents! How can I get it if I don't accept you into my body?!"

"I like you already. But don't regret this later!"

"Regret? Are you joking? I want the power to both save and destroy! I want revenge!"

"I admire your thirst for vengeance. Very well! Show me how ready you are!"

The darkness consumed me further. The next thing I knew, I was back in the room, standing before Greed. I rose from where I had fallen.

"Wrath?" Greed asked, confusion evident in his voice.

"Oh? Wrath? No, it's me, Jezebel. I've succeeded with my plan." I grinned.

"Plan?!" Greed gasped, bewildered.

"Yes. Plan. Demon Morphing: Wrath Soul!" Darkness enveloped my body, transforming me. My nails grew long and sharp, horns sprouted from my head, and even my clothes changed.

With lightning speed, I killed Greed. His siblings outside heard the commotion, but it was too late. I attacked them one by one, killing them all. I never expected Wrath's power to be this immense. Now, I possess all the power of the Seven Demons.

"How does it feel?" A man opened the kingdom's doors and stepped inside.

"It feels incredible! This is what it's like to finally get revenge on the demons who hurt and killed my parents!" I grinned with satisfaction.

The man who stepped inside the kingdom had an aura of calm yet terrifying authority. He was tall, dressed in a flowing black robe, with a face obscured by shadows. His mere presence made the air in the room feel thick, almost suffocating.

"You've destroyed the Seven Demons. I didn't think anyone could wield Wrath's power so effectively," he said, his voice cold yet curious.

"Who are you?" I asked, standing taller now, my body still humming with the raw power I had gained. The demons' blood dripped from my claws, staining the floor beneath me. I didn't care anymore about the bloodstains. I had become something more, something beyond the weak, terrified child I once was.

"My name is Judas," he answered, stepping closer. His eyes gleamed with an unsettling combination of amusement and calculation. "And you, Jezebel, have done something extraordinary. But you don't even realize the significance yet."

I clenched my fists, feeling the sharpness of my claws dig into my palms. "I don't care about significance. All I care about is my revenge. And now that I've killed Greed and his siblings-"

"You've only taken the first step." Judas's voice cut through my words like a blade. "The Seven Demons were nothing compared to the ones truly responsible for your suffering."

My heart skipped a beat. More demons? Could there really be more? Was my suffering orchestrated by even greater forces?

"You feel it, don't you?" Judas continued, his voice low, almost conspiratorial. "The hunger for more. Revenge wasn't just about Greed, Lust, or Envy. There are others-humans and gods alike-who have conspired against you since the day you were born."

I froze, my mind racing. Could it be true? Could there really be others-beyond demons-who were responsible for my torment?

"I can help you, Jezebel," Judas said, extending his hand toward me. "I can show you the truth behind your pain. I can guide you to those who truly deserve your wrath."

I hesitated, staring at his outstretched hand. There was something off about him, something that made me uneasy. But his words tugged at something deep inside me-something I couldn't deny. If there were more who needed to be punished...

"Why should I trust you?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "What do you gain from this?"

Judas smiled, a cold, calculating smile. "Trust? You don't have to trust me. Trust yourself. Trust your rage. What I gain is irrelevant. What you gain, however, is everything."

I glanced at his hand again. It was tempting-so tempting. The power I held now was intoxicating, but if there were more out there, more who had caused my pain... I couldn't walk away from that. If Judas was right, my revenge was far from complete.

"Fine," I said, stepping forward and taking his hand. "I'll join you. But know this, Judas-if you betray me, if you try to use me like they did-I'll kill you too."

His smile widened, a flicker of something dark crossing his face. "You won't regret this, Jezebel. Together, we'll bring down those who deserve your wrath. And when the time comes, you'll see the full extent of what you've become."

As his hand tightened around mine, I could feel a dark energy pulsing from him. It was nothing like the power I'd felt from the Seven Demons-it was older, more dangerous. Judas wasn't just a man. He was something else, something far more powerful.

But I wasn't afraid. Not anymore.

I had taken Wrath into myself, and now, with Judas by my side, I would unleash my fury upon the world.

Together, we would destroy everything and everyone responsible for my suffering. No one would be spared.
