Chapter 128: The frightening realization
Zara stood a couple of meters behind Noah, keeping a safe distance to ensure she wouldn't be harmed unnecessarily.
Meanwhile, Noah faced Belzebuth, who lay motionless on the ground, waiting for his fate.
He didn't resist. He didn't even have the will to.
All he wanted… was for it to end.
He hadn't refused Zara's mother the right to copy his talent out of arrogance. No.
It was because his talent was incomplete.
Broken.
He couldn't let that creature discover his deepest insecurity—his greatest liability.
So when he found out she had tricked him to extract his talent, he snapped.
And the only reason he had let Zara live—rather than kill her outright—was because she didn't carry his talent.
Otherwise, she would've died too. He wouldn't let another being go through the same pain as him.
Belzebuth sighed heavily inwardly.
'All these struggles, all these fights… for nothing.'
'My rebellion against my father… for nothing.'
