A young man named Rex Gray looked at the people arguing in the distance and couldn't help but have a slightly mocking expression on his face.
He has had some bad hobbies since he was a child.
From playing tricks on ants, spiders, cats and dogs... to prank others.
Now, he is directly framing the blame and stimulating conflicts among others.
He likes the feeling of watching others being played by him.
Sometimes, he would also guess that the so-called born villain should be almost like himself, right?
Finally, I stood there and watched for a while.
It wasn't until those people started to make more and more noise and began to take action.
Rex turned around with satisfaction and walked happily towards his home.
But this good mood did not last long.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard the words of his parents.
The general idea was that the two of them were very angry about their bad behavior.
The words he spoke were all scolding, quite self-explanatory, and very insulting to the lintel.
Although it is true...
He stood in the corner dissatisfied and listened to them talk about all their shortcomings.
He endured his dissatisfaction, and just as he was about to step through the door, he heard his parents start praising a name that made him extremely disgusted.
【Erebus】.
This is a good boy who is well known in the neighborhood. He is filial, kind and willing to learn.
Moreover, he is also an extremely devout believer in the local church!
It can be said that the future is promising!
In all the homes around him, his existence can be said to be a template for 'other people's children'.
In the past, Kress's parents often compared him with each other.
And every time, without exception, it was scolding.
"It would be great if Kress could be like Erebus..."
Stand outside the door.
After hearing such words from his parents again, Kress's face immediately showed great anger and displeasure!
The legs that had already stepped into the door frame were retracted accordingly.
'Since you dislike me so much, then never see me again...'
In anger and with such thoughts, he turned around and left his home and walked out of the city.
However, I don’t know if it was an arrangement given by fate.
On the quiet path he needed to pass by, he saw a very familiar figure sitting on a certain step, reading a book seriously.
And the other party is none other than Erebus!
At first, Kress didn't think much when he saw the other party.
After frowning, I wanted to go around.
After all, out of sight, out of mind.
But after taking a few steps, he suddenly had a strange idea in his mind when he saw the scripture tattoos on the other person's face that symbolized piety!
‘Since you expect me to be like Erebus so much, then I will simply do as you wish...’
As a result, his steps slowed down.
Pretending to be passing by, he deliberately walked past the person who was reading a book.
When the opponent's eyes turned completely away from him, Rex quietly took out the bone dagger he used for self-defense.
Without hesitation, he stabbed the opponent in the neck from behind!
That moment.
Seeing the bright red blood, the sight of flying out of the wound, and the astonished expression on Erebus's face until he died, Rex couldn't help but feel an unprecedented sense of pleasure.
After standing there for a long time.
Looking at the blood slowly flowing on the steps, he muttered to himself maliciously.
"From now on, I will be Erebus. In this case, I should be extremely similar, right?"
Having said this, Rex or Erebus peeled off the opponent's facial skin with his own hands, with excitement and smile on his face.
He was going to find a place to copy out the tattoo of the scripture above, and then get an identical tattoo for himself.
As for the other party's body, he randomly discarded it into a crevice in a certain valley afterwards.
The surrounding snakes, insects, rats, and ants will be dealt with more thoroughly...
More than ten years passed like this.
By impersonating the identity of the original Erebus, he has become a priest in a city called Vanredes.
Currently serving for [Colchis Covenant Church].
And this church is also one of the main ruling forces on this planet.
From thousands of years ago, they have believed in five great gods!
According to the records in various classics, the five gods are even older than this world, and each of them symbolizes different special concepts...
Erebus still dislikes these things even though he has been studying them for many years.
He thinks they are too false!
In essence, it is just something imagined by some people for certain purposes.
In such disdain, after closing a certain hand-written classic, he thought about lying down and resting for a while.
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a blurry red figure in the long mirror not far away, looking at him calmly.
At this moment, he couldn't explain what he was feeling.
I just felt a huge shadow covering me instantly!
And the entire surrounding time and space seemed to be shattered in an instant!
As time goes by, the senses of the body and the consciousness of the soul have all fallen into a state of empty and senseless nothingness.
Huge emotions of fear and awe directly filled his heart.
Before Erebus himself could react.
His instinct had already given in first.
When he reacted, he realized that he had already fallen to his knees on the cold ground.
A large amount of cold sweat immediately fell from his forehead uncontrollably...
The moment you see each other.
Although the form was a bit unclear, Erebus had already recognized the other party's identity through the faintly visible special marks on his body.
‘[The Bloody King]…’
'The source of all suffering and torture, the existence at the end of time and space...'
'Anyone who looks directly at His form will fall into never-ending madness and mutation...'
The title that he originally thought was a false imagination and the information recorded in various covenant books automatically appeared in his brain...
When you really see each other with your own eyes.
Only then did Erebus realize that those gorgeous adjectives in various covenant books that seemed extremely false in the past were actually very simple.
Even after exhausting all the knowledge and vocabulary he had learned, he could not find words that could truly describe what was in front of him.
He seems to be the true God who came from the illusion with all the concepts of "greatness"!
Without any words or actions, it was just a shadow, which fundamentally and directly defeated my own psychological defense line...
