Chapter 49 - Revival of Jim

*Holycrown city*

Brandon came home early from work. He went shopping for some gifts for his anniversary. But when he got home, he was speechless. His wife was with another man. As angry as he was, he just sat on the couch and smoke a cigarette. He soon heard a voice.

"What is it you desire?" a voice asked him.

Brandon felt light as if all of his problems went away.

"To kill that w****." Brandon smiled.

This was a second archangel that Isaac created. And after this, Isaac was ready. Now, he was a devil. He traveled straight to the hospital ward where Jim was comatose. He smiled and used holy magic to return his soul back to the body from the astral realm.

"What…." Jim mumbled.

"You're finally awake." he heard a voice. He couldn't see the voice owner.

"What happened to me?" Jim asked.

Isaac just smiled. He put his hand over his head and used magic to return Jim's memories. All he saw was torture from that damn Brian and his hired hoodlums. That kept beating Jim up, till the moment he lost consciousness and even further.

Jim felt sad, but one thought kept him going. He will see Elisabeth one more time. However, Isaac heard this thought and told him the truth.

Isaac began to tear up and said…

"Elisabeth… Is dead." Isaac felt empty inside.

The moment he told this to Jim, Jim realized… He wants to die.

He was too powerless to get revenge. So at least he can go to hell and meet her there. Isaac knew way too well what Jim was feeling. He went through hell, and every memory of Elisabeth turned into the hell that tormented him. He felt pain. It will never go away. Until he found a purpose. It was to get revenge on those who made Elisabeth end her own life.

"Jim… What if I say… That you can avenge her? Isaac showed a sad smile.

"I'd say you're spouting bullshit. "Jim clenched his fist. "I am powerless. She was the same. That's why we both ended up where we are today."

Jim recalled all his childhood memories, memories of him and Elisabeth, and cried. She was the one who always gave him hope and strength to live. But now she left him… Alone.

"Elisabeth, how can you be so selfish!" Jim mumbled to himself.

Again, Isaac knew this feeling way too well. He blamed her ever since she drank all those pills. He now knew Jim was a perfect candidate to fuse with. Together, their hate will be even stronger!

"Jim, talk to me. Please!" Isaac tried talking to Jim, who was no longer listening.

"Just kill me, please!" Jim started pulling out his own hair.

"LISTEN TO ME!!!" Isaac lost his patience and slapped him. "I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN GET REVENGE!"

"Huh?" Jim regained his composure. His cheek was burning, but that gave him the push he needed. "How?"

"Ever heard of creatures called demons? Gods? Angels?" Isaac smiled once again. He was happy that Jim finally listened.

"Y-yes. But what about them?" Jim was confused. He couldn't understand what's all those mythical creatures have to do with his revenge. First, he did not even believe those existed.

"You don't believe they exist?" Isaac smiled after hearing Jim's thoughts. "I can assure you, they exist. I can prove it to you!"

Isaac spreads his black wings and shows a corrupted red aura to him. He was not speaking, but his words echo inside Jim's head:

"My name is Isaac. I am a former god, and currently, I am the devil" Isaac bowed and gestured his hands nobly.

"D-devil? Are you here for my soul?" Jim has gotten his hopes up. "For revenge, I don't mind!"

"That sounds nice, huh?" Isaac smirked. "Don't worry, you'll keep your soul. I have a unique plan in mind."

"What do you have in mind?" Jim was curious.

"You will become the new god. With my current devil power, I can fuse with a human now. Completely. We will become one." Isaac smirked.

"Sounds nice" Jim gave Isaac a handshake. Their hands glowed in a beautiful red color. Isaac began disappearing.

"..."

"..."

"Now this, its gonna be so much fun!" Isaac/Jim smirked. His body began glowing and he disappeared.

*Few kilometers away*

A golden light showed up, and from it came Jim. Jim had all memories of Isaac and all his powers. The two of them completely fused and decided in the human world, he will call himself Jim, like before.

"Are you having fun, Brandon?" Jim sat down on the couch and asked. "This place is… Sorry, was quite beautiful."

Someone completely painted the beautiful house in blood. That someone was Brandon. The stench of guts and corpses made Jim frown. "Disgusting."

"Who… Are you?" Brandon jumped out of surprise. Before he heard the voice calling his name, he was using his wings to cut people apart. Be people, it means his own family. Everyone that betrayed him. He wanted to jump and attack Jim however, he lost the feeling in his wings.

"It's me you dumb***. Isaac. Well, you can call me Jim now." Jim smiled. But this smile was vicious. Brandon killed innocent as well. His daughter was not at the fault for her mother's deeds, and she well killed as well. This infuriates Jim.

"..."

"..."

Her father… BETRAYED HER!
