(Arthur POV)
’Child of prophecy huh?’
I thought to myself as I sighed while staring out one of the windows of my dorm room watching the setting suns.
I rembered the ti I finally understood what the prophecy really ant. I was distraught and confused.
So many emotions I couldn’t understand swirled within at the ti, and then I began questioning it.
’Why ?
Why couldn’t I have a normal life?
I am not the first child in all of existence to be born between a god and a devil right?
So why did it have to be ?’
I spent a lot of ti wallowing in a depressed-like state due to this.
Then I believe it was around the ti I was six or seven that I began noticing.
The fact that I had been protected from the shadows ever since I was born. This was sothing that I should not have been able to realize yet I sohow realized it.
Perhaps it was because I started paying more attention after what uncle Creusery told the day he first destroyed a planet right before my very eyes.
Mum and Dad had been protecting from various assassination attempts that the gods and their allies had been plotting, and this only made feel even more depressed.
I felt enraged.
I felt I was useless.
I understood that I was just a weak powerless child and could not possibly do anything but that didn’t make feel any better.
All the training I had been doing since I was three was not enough to protect myself from any real threats. All I could handle were the weakest of assassins that were left after uncle Creusery had dealt with the more powerful ones.
It took a while before I finally made that vow to myself.
To be stronger.
To stand above any and everything in existence.
To be so strong that not a single thing could dare threaten my life anymore.
It was also around that ti I began noticing that my personality was changing bit by bit. I reckon it was due to a strange event that occurred when I was just three.
My other mories of that age are quite vague but for so reason, this particular mory was very clear.
’I have been influenced by the power of ti for far longer than I thought, huh?’
Even so, there are many things I doubt I would have been able to do if I didn’t undergo that personality change.
Like the incident where I ordered Lute and his team to destroy the continents on planet Phirex. Normally, I would not give them such an order, after all, the people of Phirex didn’t really matter to .
There was no point in wasting resources to destroy them all. However, I still gave that order, without hesitation.
I coldly ordered Lute and his team to end millions of innocent lives while claiming I was saving them from possible years of pain and suffering.
’Sophistry...’
Laughing at my own hypocrisy, it rembered one of the reasons that I hesitated less when it ca to dealing with certain things or people. It was thanks to uncle Creusery showing about the dark side of reality at such a young age.
That was also one of the reasons I could give such an order without a second thought. It was also the reason I did not hesitate when dealing with any half-gods I ca across like the Valkyrie that the southern emperor summoned.
Nevertheless, I still did not want to go against the gods. Not because I was scared of them, but for the sake of my father.
Well, I would not deny there was so fear, these are being that have lived for millennia after all, but it was mostly for dad’s sake.
They were of the sa race after all.
However, the actions they have been taking recently are beginning to irritate .
Mum might think she was hiding it but she should know I would still be able to find out. That annoying fucker who controls all the drifters in hell would definitely tell just to get a kick out of my reaction.
Their actions are only making want to find the law crystal of ti from the crystal realm and cast ’The Third Magic’ already.
So that I can beco stronger faster, strong enough to end them before they can even begin to plot against .
That is the only thing about myself that I can stay committed to no matter how much ti passes;
Becoming stronger.
I cannot ever commit to anything for long, even with hiding my energy, I’m doing a very sloppy job at it because I have lost interest already.
"Haaaaa..."
Letting out a long sigh, I walked to the new mirror I got after I broke the other one in a fit of rage.
My left blue eye was slowly turning blue once again.
"Guess it’s in the process of permanently turning blue huh?"
Attention drawing questions would be asked if my eye changed colours suddenly so I decided to hide it with contact lenses instead of carrying shades around like before.
My right eye might also begin to change so I put contacts on both eyes.
Since the small success I achieved in the law of ti, my comprehension speed increased exponentially and I can control the law’s power even more subtly than before.
I also had not had any strange lucid dreams or out-of-body experiences since going to that dark space, nevertheless, I still wonder what that space was and if I would ever be able to go back there.
The influence of the law of ti over my body has been increasing also, even more so after I began comprehending destruction too.
It had reached the stage that my comprehension began increasing ever so slightly even when I was not actively trying to comprehend the law.
It was negligible but it was still there.
’I hope I can find that crystal soon...’
Another thing about myself that I have noticed lately was that I had beco different from normal.
Ever since my eye started changing colour due to the law’s influence, I began noticing a few strange things.
First, I could now see so sort of multicoloured energy coat surrounding both dad and grandpa.
I tried hinting about it to dad and his reaction was as I expected; one of shock.
He was too shocked to even notice that I was using clairvoyance to see his expression at the ti. And that’s normally sothing he would notice even if he was asleep.
As for Grandpa, he seed to have noticed looking at it before and has been suspecting that I could see it but he hadn’t said a thing.
That sa multicoloured energy coat began appearing around too.
It was an extrely thin layer of energy, almost transparent but I could see it whenever I used the power of the law of ti on my left eye.
Just that the quality and quantity of the energy were leagues below dad and Grandpa’s.
This led to believe that there is sothing different about us three, Dad and Grandpa know what it is, but I do not.
In addition, I doubt they are going to tell if I asked.
Nevertheless, I would find out on my own, it is just one new addition to my list of questions.
I also want to find out what makes different from other progenitors.
After all, there had never been a case of a prophecy given out to all universes because of the birth of a progenitor.
Also, it is odd that a god ’slayer’ race is only appearing now even though the gods have been existing for at least trillions of years already.
The dragons and titans that are just as old already have their ’slayer’ races.
Even the drifters have theirs too.
There is obviously sothing about that is different from the other progenitors, and I definitely have to find out.
◇ ◇ ◇
Days rolled around and soon it was Friday again, the day of the student council eting.
It is the first Friday after the events of Nicole’s duel with Kian, and the student council is holding its usual weekly eting.
This ti the main topic of discussion was none other than the school festival I proposed.
I made my way over to the student council building while conversing with one of my subordinates, Phil, over the phone.
As I got closer to the eting room in use, I began concluding my conversation with Phil.
I wore the Knight’s uniform that I had taken a liking to, however, unlike the last ti I was here, I was wearing the black version.
[That interstellar empire refuses to allow us to search that planet that ets the criteria, what should we do?
Lewis is getting impatient.]
As I opened the doors to the eting room, I replied to Phil while wearing a light smile on my face.
"Just kill them all."
I cut the call afterwards and looked around for where Layla was, seeing as she was in the sa place as last ti, I walked over and sat beside her.
Looking around once again, I noticed I was being stared at, quite weirdly.
"Um...Layla, why the stares?"
Even though I asked, I could already guess why, her reply, only served to confirm my assumptions.
"When you have such a light smile on your face while casually uttering words far from light, it’s hard for them not to stare you know?"
Layla replied with a sigh while I saw so other class representatives nodding in affirmation.
Ignoring them all, I looked over to Nicole who was seated beside Layla and waved at her.
She smiled while waving back and I once again noticed a few other class representatives who were staring at her in awe.
’She’s such a pretty girl...’
I glared at them while infusing the power of the law into my left eye, activating the law of destruction’s intimidation effect.
They all looked away instantly while shivering in fear.
’Fools...’
Turning my attention back to Nicole who was tilting her head in curiosity at my actions, I wished she would give up on and find soone else that is better for her.
She should know I would not be returning her feelings anyti soon.
It is not that I am not interested in love or I hate romance or anything. Just that my main goal right now is to get stronger as fast as possible.
So far, I have not seen any way that love or romance can help with that so I have been ignoring it.
I laughed lightly and gestured towards the student council president who was wondering when to begin the eting.
The secretary stood up and recited the minutes from the last eting and what was decided on in order to gain permission and funding for the event.
"The crown prince stated that the event would be approved the mont the prince had at least 70% of the student body’s support."
As soon as the secretary said that, I pulled out my phone and published the results of the poll I had forgotten I even put up.
The results showed that I had 85% of the student body in support of .
I jumped over to the student council executive seats and waved the results in the face of the treasurer who was trying so hard to thwart my plans.
His frowning face made laugh aloud as I tapped his shoulder before abruptly stopping and leaning over to whisper into his ear.
"I have evidence of your activities so don’t think I don’t know what you did."
I then walked back to my seat and stared at his expression of shock.
’I wonder how the students would respond if they know that the treasurer tried to bribe so students to vote against my idea.’
The student council president looked at us strangely but said nothing and continued the eting.
