MY 10,000× DIMENSIONAL SYSTEM

Deranged

Godfrey groaned as he tried to move again to no avail. He was completely and utterly bound, to the point where he couldn't even mobilise his Mana.

He stared at the masked girl hatefully.

"You… you're one of his people!" He spat and the girl placed a door on his chest and leaned against her knee.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That's right. I serve Master wholeheartedly." The girl said calmly and Godfrey gritted his teeth.

"You bastards! You ruined EVERYTHING!" He shouted.

"So many plans! So many resources! So much TIME! We put So much effort and you ruined it all! It's all your fault! Why can't you just accept your fates and die!? You will all die eventually, so what right do you have to interfere? You're merely delaying the inevitable. So why do you ruin everything?!" Godfrey completely lost it and started to rant, sounding like a deranged maniac as his voice was actually filled with righteous indignation. He genuinely seemed to believe he was in the right in the situation.

Kim stared down at the man that had gotten her family killed and sighed.

"Several years ago, a pair of Catfolk were murdered mysteriously while their only child and daughter vanished." When she said that, Godfrey stiffened and his eyes widened.

"That daughter had to go through all sorts of terrible things just to survive. Things a girl her age should have never experienced for any reason. And even if she were older, that fact shouldn't have changed." She smiled behind the mask.

"That girl was on the verge of giving up, but she got saved. And now, not only was this girl much, much more powerful than she was in the past, she now had the chance to get revenge on the bastard that killed her parents." Her tone was filled with savage satisfaction as she pressed down on Godfrey's chest causing him to groan.

"So, your highness. Surprised to see the little Cat girl you didn't kill coke back to avenge her parents?" Godfrey spattered and coughed.

"That's… impossible…" He croaked out and Kim chuckled.

"Generic denial. In that case..." Her hand moved to her face and she slowly removed her mask, revealing her face.

There was a cold smirk on her adorable face, and her eyes, her eyes were filled with such hatred and bloodlust that it could cause a groan man to shudder.

"Does this ring a bell? Your highness?" She asked mockingly and Godfrey started to pant, though whether fron shock or from the foot that was slowly crushing his chest, he couldn't tell. His eyes were wide with disbelief as he stared at Kim.

When the Voidwalkers had given him his first mission, they had made sure to send him the pictures of the faces of his targets. A man, a woman and a child. He made sure to commit all of them to memory so that when he eventually destroyed them, he would feel every ounce of whatever guilt would come. That way, he could kill his emotions properly.

As such, he recognised Mim almost immediately. She was obviously older than before, her features more defined. But there was no mistaking that face.

His past had come back to haunt him.

Godfrey gritted his teeth. Then he began to laugh. A wild, deranged sound that rang throughout the now silent battlefield filled with disbelief, denial, indignation, and anger.

"Wow! The world really likes to play tricks huh?!" He stared at Kim and bared his teeth.

"What?! You expect me to feel remorseful? To beg for mercy? To cry out?! PLEASE! I've long since killed such things! There is no amount of pain you can cause me that will make me weep like a stupid child!" He smiled cruelly.

"I'm sure it hurt right?! Returning and seeing the mangled corpses of the people who had taken care of you your whole life must scarred you right?! A stain permanently branded on your soul! Killing me won't bring them back! Nothing will! I can die and you will gain nothing! You'll still be as broken and pathetic as you were from the beginning!" He shrieked and everyone was silent. Then Kim said calmly.

"Are you done?" She said simply and Godfrey just glared at her.

Seeing this, Kim nodded to herself and proceeded to sit down cross-legged on his abdomen. Then, she pulled out a small red needle.

"Honestly, I've seen and heard of so many things where a person proclaims that revenge never fixes the issue and only leaves you empty. And I can agree with the former. But seeing you like this, screaming and shouting like a deranged fool beneath my feet." Kim grinned menacingly.

"Is so unbelievably refreshing." The she began yo move the needle towards his neck.

"Stop!" Everyone turned to see the wife of the Emperor staring forth with wide eyes. Her crimson pupils filled with anger and reluctance.

"Don't… don't harm him. We'll be the ones to deal with him." She said trying to sound calm. But her voice trembled at the end.

Kim stared at her emotionlessly and Christopher who had been watching everything quietly spoke calmly.

"Sadly your highness, your son is dying today." Hearing this, the Empress' eyes widened with rage.

"How Dare You?!" She spat. Now that all the cube bearers besides the Prince had been killed, the restriction on the surrounding Mana had dropped enough for everyone to regain access to their magic. However, that didn't mean any of the were in good condition as not only had their magic been removed, but the Runes making up their bodies were also dulled.

Because of this, their bodies and magic were incredible weak

As such, a horrid Aura erupted from the Empress and she took a step forward. However, it was very subdued and her face paled immediately. However, she still moved forwardv. The Emperor made no move to stop her, but his brows were knitted together. The princess seemed to be on the verge of tears and the second Prince was looking down with clenched fists.

Sylvaris was about to step forward, but Christopher beat her to it. He stepped between the Empress and Kim and snapped his fingers, the earth rising to become a throne which he calmly sat on and crossed his legs slowly and purposefully. Scarlet rested in his lap as he leaned his head against his hand.

"Alright Empress. You can proceed if you want," He said calmly. "However. Know that if you do, the royal family will be losing two members instead of one." His statement caused the air to turn frigid as the eyes of the Empress widened with rage.

However…

"Stand down Emilia." The Empress froze and turned her head back like an unoiled robot towards her husband who was staring at her with a solemn expression.

"What did you just say?" She said with disbelief and the Emperor sighed before looking at Christopher.

"... Continue your business, you will not be disturbed." He said firmly and the eyes of his family members widened in shock.

"Father!"

"No!"

"You can't possibly be serious!" The three people exclaimed, but the Emperor made no attempt to change his words.

Christopher stared at him before waving his hand, signalling to Kim to carry on.

The girl snorted, then a dome appeardaroujd her as she took herself and the Prince into an isolated space.

The Queen looked about ready to erupt. But the moment she saw the stern expression on her husband's face, her rage faltered and slowly, her Aura receded.

Christopher nodded at this before staring at the rest of the people on that consisted of the high profile individuals invited to the Auction.

Then he snapped his hands and the clone that embodied darkness and sound appeared in front of him noiselessly, slung over his shoulder was the battered figure of the Voidwalker that seemed to be the head of the whole operation.

He was dropped to the groaned unceremoniously and groaned as many wounds reopened.

Then he managed to turn to look at Christopher with a cold gaze.

"Whatever your plan is… it won't work…" Hearing this, Christopher stared at him before simply asking.

"What exactly was the plan of you and your group?" Hearing this, everyone stared at him strangely as they were sure the Voidwalker wouldn't answer just because he was asked.

But to their surprise.

"Our plan was divided among multiple groups. Our was set to crash the Auction and obtain whatever Legend Sword Shards we could get our hands on from those rulers and individuals that carried them on their bodies. The other groups were meant to invade the territories of those who kept the Shards hidden and out of sight and steal them. After That we'd rendezvous and begin the mutual to restore the weapon." When he finished, everyone stared at him with an incredulous gaze.

The Voidwalker also seemed to come out of sine sort of daze as when he finished talking, his face paled and he stared at Christopher with shock.

"Wh-What did you do?!" He demanded, but Christopher didn't reply and looked at the groups of people.

"Who are those who possessed the Legend Sword Shards and kept them hidden away instead of on their bodies?"
