Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 232

"Not everyone deserves to be saved."

"I want to save all my friends."

Black tears streaked down Jack's cheeks.

He gripped Neo's hand with force.

Through his hands, Neo could feel the tremors Jack was trying to hide.

"You have the bloodline of Death's Monarch. The God of the Underworld is known for his impartiality. Your bloodline won't let you go unpunished if you do this."

"Well, what can they do? Kill me? That won't work."

Neo grinned.

As if to mock his small smile, his mastery of Death hit rock bottom. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

He lost Death.

"This isn't the time to joke!"

Jack glared at him. Stay tuned with freewebnovel.com

"Do you think I can't feel your weakening Death? Even now, you are being punished!"

"Jack."

Neo's calm voice cut through Jack's despair.

"This time, I won't make a choice I would regret in the future."

When Neo had seen Elizabeth in the hospital bed, his heart had been squeezed by fear.

He regretted sending her to fight the Temple of Void.

"What…?" Jack muttered.

Seeing Elizabeth in danger made him realize what was more important to him.

Jack had done irreversible evil.

But…

"We are in this together," Neo said.

For Neo, his friends and family were more important than right and wrong.

Even if that choice would cost him dearly.

"If you are going to die, I will make sure you don't have to carry any sin—"

"Fine! I won't kill myself! Happy!?"

Jack stood up and glared at Neo.

"What do you even get out of blackmailing me out of suicide?! It won't solve anything! My…"

"Your body and soul are still corrupted. I know."

Neo maintained a small smile.

"But your Will has recovered, no? It's baby steps at least."

Jack snorted.

"Fine. How are you going to solve this mess?"

"By doing this."

A starry glow covered Neo's arm.

Even if the blessing detested him, it would still purify the souls.

"Come."

Neo stared at the vengeful souls.

"Scream, shout. Pour your grudges into me."

The souls rushed towards him.

"And I will give you the salvation you thirst for."

Neo used [Judgment].

The souls melted into his body.

Tens of thousands of memories appeared inside his head.

Their emotions, their anger, and their pain threatened to drown Neo.

But.

Their regrets were too shallow compared to the Darkness Neo had seen before.

Snap.

The souls were sucked into Neo.

He delivered their Judgment and opened his eyes.

[??? grunts.]

[??? tells you to stop being stubborn.]

[The Lady of Spring frowns.]

[The Lady of Spring tells ??? to stop forcing his ideals on you.]

[??? crosses his arms and tells her she is spoiling you.]

Neo smiled bitterly.

The messages were enough for him to know the identity of '???' and 'The Lady of Spring.'

'Can you two not do this inside my head?'

[??? clicks his tongue.]

[The Lady of Spring smiles bitterly as ??? leaves.]

The screens disappeared for a few seconds before appearing again.

The two of them fell into the void—

Jack's eyes opened with a snap.

He groaned from pain.

He could feel his exposed organs and bones.

His face felt like it had been skinned.

Neo looked at him with a small smile.

"Yup, you definitely look better than me."

"Seriously?"

Jack sighed.

He had not known what was happening outside while his body was being controlled by the vengeful spirits.

His appearance was beyond horrible.

Worse, Neo hadn't passed the chance to take the jab.

Before Jack could say something, Neo bit off the pinky finger of his hand and threw it toward Jack.

"What are you doing!?"

"Devour it."

"…What?"

"My flesh can stop the progress of Darkness corruption.

"Since I purified the souls and stopped the corruption already, the flesh should now—theoretically—reverse the remaining corruption."

There was a high chance Neo was wrong.

However, this was the only method he could think of.

"The blood in the finger should increase the chances of reversing the corruption."

"…"

"Go on. Devour it."

"…"

"Why the fuck are you staring at me and not devouring it?"

"Thank you."

"Yeah? That's right, be thankful—"

Neo was about to say 'bitch' until he realized he was talking like his brother.

He closed his mouth.

Jack chuckled, knowing why Neo stopped.
