Chapter 913: Waiting Game
A huge disturbance was caused by the escaped convicts.
Paradise – the home of the Gods, are currently on alert due to the significance of this threat.
Had this been any other prison break, they wouldn’t have been this alerted but it just so happened that those who escaped were prisoners of the Abyss. One must know that the abyss is one special prison created to torture and drive the criminals completely insane as punishment for their crimes.
Now, these deranged criminals managed to break free out of their prison and is now roaming among their people. Who knows what they can and will do?
Amongst these criminals is of course Finneas who is now hiding from the authorities. He just made a vow that he will not go down without dragging Skroll down with him.
Finneas had it really rough.
Initially, he thought that his new life will bring him nothing but joy and contentment. He whole-hearted accepted it and even looked forward into it. Alas, the complete opposite is what happened.
Fate has been especially cruel to him.
Just as he thought that he found a place where he belongs, a place where he’s accepted and welcomed with open arms despite his peculiarities, he found out that it was all nothing but lies.
For the most part, Skroll’s plan had worked. Finneas fell into the honey-trap and he unknowingly gave them so much information that doomed humanity.
He was never meant to know this but in the end, he did. It is through a slight carelessness from the other gods who were let-in on the operation. They discussed the idea excitedly, saying that they found a fat piece of land to claim.
This God mistook Finneas as one of his friends, unknowingly letting him know everything from start to finish.
That’s when it all came back to Finneas. He nearly forgotten his roots but that mistake allowed him to remember everything.
Realizing that he was used, fooled and lead astray, Finneas was filled with boundless fury that caused him to go on a murder spree. He nearly lost himself into madness when he saw Skroll and attacked him but was soon overpowered by God Officers and then thrown at the Abyss Prison.
He spent decades in there, marinating in his own rage and despair. Tormented by his mistakes and haunted by nightmares. Each passing day, his was pushed to the brink on insanity because of the place.
At this point, he wouldn’t even deny the fact that he’s already mad. All that he has left is this burning desire to murder Skroll and have him pay for what he did.
Finneas knows that this wouldn’t be enough to pay for his sin of dooming mankind. He knows that it will never be enough so he didn’t even think about it, all he knows is that this is a tribute at least.
If Skroll dies, then the Abyssals will take a considerable hit on their operations which might possibly give Humanity a higher chance of survival.
Skroll isn’t famous for nothing. His face comes along with achievements secured under his belt. He’s the head researcher and the pioneer of the Gods. He invented most of the things they use to locate and plunder providence from other places.
He also largely contributed to the warping function of the Paradise Realm and whenever the God Emperor decided to warp, Skroll is the one that usually took charge of the operation to make sure everything remains stable.
Skroll is pretty much the right hand of the God Emperor, which means that taking him down would hurt the God Race badly.
And it just so happens that Finneas, back when he’s still deeply enamored with Skroll, knows his schedule and his habits. He paid close attention to everything he does because he once thought that it was admirable. Not anymore though. Still, this turned out to be more useful since he now knows where to find him.
He could device a plan on killing him by following this.
Still, he needs time to implement his plan.
Finneas isn’t a fool. The news about the prison break should’ve already reached Skroll’s ears and if he just sent someone to inspect the place, Skroll would know that Finneas also escaped.
He will be careful and will lay out traps for him. That’s how Skroll is. Even though Finneas begrudgingly doesn’t want to, he had to admit that Skroll’s wits are sharp and he’s extremely intelligent too.
Killing him won’t be easy.
That’s why for now, he had to say low. He had to find a base somewhere, a place where he can hide and plan out his moves. He can play the waiting game, it’s fine. After all, he still hasn’t reached his full potential as a God yet.
Although Finneas now hates this body more than ever, he can’t deny that he needs it to complete his mission. The body of the Gods are very powerful and filled with so much potential, human bodies can’t compare at all.
It is precisely because he knows this that it made him even more guilty.
He truly had doomed humanity. This kind of sin can never be forgiven.
Finneas hopes that they can fight against the Gods but Finneas also knows how strong they are. He had seen what the army of Gods can do. It wouldn’t be a lie to say that they’re almost invincible.
The Divine Realm will suffer terribly from this, and there’s nothing he can do to rectify that.
Contacting humanity to warn them about the incoming threat? That won’t work. In fact, he shouldn’t even consider doing that.
Let’s say that he indeed managed to warn humanity about the threat of the Gods, who’s to say that they’re going to believe him? And even if they did, it’s too late isn’t it? There’s not much time for them to prepare.
But the true reason why he shouldn’t do this is the fact that if he contacted humanity, the Gods will use the connection to track the coordinates of Divine Realm.
If that happens, Divine Realm’s just one order away from the God Emperor from destruction.
Right now, he knows that the Gods are proceeding very carefully. They don’t have the exact coordinates of the Divine Realm so they are slowly driving their home towards the general area they discovered from his memories.
If they knew the coordinates, the God Emperor would’ve long since ordered to start warping towards there to launch a decisive strike and ambush.
Since they haven’t done so, Humanity still has time and Finneas also has some time.
His goal is to eliminate Skroll before they reached Divine Realm. If he can do that, then he could rest easy.
Right now, Finneas is hiding.
His hiding spot is at the abandoned village near the Abyss Prison. You know what they say, the safest place is the most obvious one. Finneas knows that everybody is searching for their tracks. He already erased his and he didn’t run far to begin with so they’d just end up in wild goose-chase.
In addition to this, his godly talent; Vanish and Deadly Venom helped him a lot. Vanish allows him to be completely invisible to everyone. It erases all traces of his existence and he doesn’t leave any tracks behind while Deadly Venom helps him kill a lot faster since it is especially effective and fatal against Gods.
These two talents are things that not even Skroll himself knew about since Finneas awoken them inside his prison. Both skills came natural to him and they don’t drain a lot of energy to use.
Vanish can be used almost infinitely. In fact, just to be careful, Finneas is always in his Vanished state. So long as he doesn’t attack or move too fast, no one would be able to sense him even if he’s literally breathing down on their necks.
Securing food also isn’t hard since he could just steal from the nearby city. By stealing a little bit on each house he come across with, he could hoard a lot of food which will last him for a very long time.
Now, he’s just patiently waiting for things to cool down. It would be best if he moves when everything settles down and the patrols calmed down a bit. Once everyone lets down their guard, it wouldn’t be too late for him to move by then.
To him, this is just the waiting game. He had to be patient. Bid his time until things turned lax and it will be easy to reap Skroll’s life.
Judging from personal experience, Gods are incredibly arrogant. They definitely think too highly of themselves and they are impulsive too, why else would their Emperor mobilize everything at the first news of Divine Realm’s discovery?
They think they are infallible just because they conquered small preys all this time. These are things that Finneas discovered in the books Skroll gave to him.
He knew their hubris is too great and he planned on taking advantage of that. Just like he said, this is just the waiting game.
Soon, he will sink his fangs on Skroll’s neck. By then, he will teach them a painful lesson that they won’t be able to forget.
