Even with all my means and abilities, there was only so much firepower that I could take on myself. With one of the bars flashing in my peripheral vision making sure that I would know that I could repeat this kind of feat only a few times more, I realised I had to avoid a direct clash by all means possible.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to protect the people around me. Even though I didn't know most of them, even though a bit of blood would only legitimise my cult… I just couldn't bring myself to sacrificing them for my own personal gains. Even if they coincidentally also meant turning this world a better place for them all.
