GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2360: Plant Cannibalism.

As he spoke, he became angrier and angrier, “Instead of listening and taking notes with an open heart and an open mind, you kidnap my family and threaten me with them.”

“That’s just shameless. I didn’t think you could stoop to something so low and dishonorable. If you are not ashamed, I am ashamed for you. I didn’t think you were capable of such a shameless and cowardly act.”

“How is this city supposed to become better if you continue to act like a tyrant? How are we supposed to care for the city if you treat us like slaves?”

“You know what? I already know the answer to that question. We don’t care about the city at all. Especially after you showed that you were willing to watch us die instead of quickly subduing the two ancestors that had lost control and become mad.”

“Because you cared too much for your lives, you refused to do your best to eliminate the threat that the two ancestors had become. And because you didn’t care about our lives at all, you were willing to watch us die trying to do something you were unwilling to die for.”

“Slake died because of you. I didn’t die, but I was injured. If not for the angel of death teasing you, you would have probably watched everyone of us die before you decided to do what was needed to eliminate the problem.”

“You are tyrants. But much worse than that is that you are stupid tyrants.”

The legendary noble roared at him, “Listen to me, you disrespectful shit. I order you to…”

Sir Kris didn’t let him finish. He roared back, “No, you listen to me. Listen to my problems and promise to solve them, or I will never open this barrier.”

The two sides began to argue and bicker with each other. Everyone watching didn’t know what to do. They didn’t know to be afraid or be confused by this trading of words.

But some people were amused by the sight. Actually, one person in particular was very amused and was laughing contentedly.

The person who was laughing was a young man with red hair and red eyes. He was standing on top of a building eating popcorn and watching the show.

The building he was standing on was in the outer city. But it was tall enough to give him a vantage point, and his eyesight was good enough to see from the outer city, past the inner city, and to the core of Reinfield City.

As the man watched, he grabbed a handful of popcorn and threw it into his mouth. In response, his mouth split open and spread wide for the popcorn to enter his mouth.

His mouth had split up to his ears, so it was very wide. Even so, not every piece of popcorn that he threw entered his mouth. Some popcorn missed his mouth and fell to the ground.

As for the ones that entered his mouth, they were caught by his long twisting tongue. Then they were crushed by the many rows of teeth in his mouth.

His whole mouth was full of teeth. Even the roof of his mouth had teeth in it. The bottom of his mouth, underneath his tongue, wasn’t spared from the presence of teeth either.

His teeth were all sharp canine teeth, and his tongue wasn’t flat. His tongue was thin, long, and forked into three.

The young man looked handsome and normal on the outside, but within him, he was very abnormal. Those who only see his external appearance would surely be fooled into thinking that he is a harmless human.

At most he would be suspected of being a weak godclad of the pathway of killing. His red eyes and red hair will be the main clues to hint at that possibility. But apart from that, he seemed easygoing and fun-loving.

As the man watched the show and ate his popcorn, he said, “This is what I have been missing all along. A fun show and interesting food to eat while watching the show. The forest is so boring.”

He thought to himself briefly, “Does this count as cannibalism?”

He asked himself that question because popcorn is made from a plant, and he is a plant. The question amused him and made him chuckle again.

Instead of stopping, he grabbed more popcorn and popped it into his mouth. As someone who has lived most of his boring life in the forest, he was enjoying himself immensely.

He is the angel of death living in the forest. To be exact, this is just one of his avatars.

The ability to create avatars is one of the benefits of becoming an angel. When demigods win the fight against the projection of their divine form and become angels, they gain the ability to control those projections and turn them into their avatars.

Unlike projections of divine form, which can only be attached to the main body, avatars can move very far away from the main body. They can be used as second bodies.

In this case, the angel of death decided to use his avatar to travel and see the world. His main body can’t move and doesn’t want to move, but he can still enjoy himself through his avatars.

This is one of the reasons why he doesn’t want to destroy Reinfield City. The attack with the beast tide had only been for his amusement.

If the attack with the beast tide had failed completely and he didn’t gain any entertainment from it, then things would have escalated far beyond the death of so many mortals, tens of epic beings, and two legends.

In order to entertain himself and have fun, he would have done more dangerous things that would have put all of Reinfield City at risk.

Fortunately he got his way and was entertained, so Reinfield remained standing. Now another interesting thing was happening in the city. It made him glad that he decided to keep Reinfield City.
