For the enraged Monk killing had always been the number one crime he could never forgive in life. If it were possible Oden would erase the concept of death itself for everyone to live eternal happiness but that is impossible. There isn't anything he despises more than taking another person's life. No one has the right to do such a thing and he truly embodies that ideal.
Oden glared at the sniper lady with a large amount of killing intent. He charged towards her as if he was a bull on a rampage. Lethal stared directly at the angry monk charging at her. She did not flinch, blink, not a single muscle in her body moved. Terry looked at Lethal's calm demeanor and thought she was okay.
"She probably has a weapon to deal with him," Terry thought to himself.
Oden pushed Lethal on the ground and began punching her without his gift being active. With each swing of Oden's had Lethal's face would move left and right. Terry stood there and watched Oden beating Lethal to a bloody pulp.
"WITCH! YOU ARE A WITCH!" Oden shouted.
"THOSE WHO TAKE OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES SHOULD BE SEVERELY PUNISHED!" he added.
"SO WHY!? WHY ARE YOU NOT PUNISHED YET?" he shouted with tears in his eyes.
While in the middle of his tantrum Terry asked "Who is supposed to punish her? You don't have any right to take her life if we're going to use your logic here. Are you wishing for some Deity to suddenly strike her down with lightning?" Oden got even angrier after hearing what Terry had to say.
After countless punches Lethal finally defended her messed up face. Her right eye was swollen, her nose was bleeding constantly and her cheeks were badly bruised. A brand new yellow tom hat popped up in Lethal's hands.
"Here, take this" Lethal said softly.
Her words stopped Oden in his tracks. He was confused as to why Lethal is giving him a hat. He got off her and accepted the hat gratefully. Why did he accept the hat from Lethal? What happened to his rage?
"I appreciate the gift but why. I don't understand why you would give this to me" said Oden shocked out of his mind. His blind rage has silenced the instant the hat reached his hand. He did not know why it happened.
"I gave myself the right to kill. We all have the right to do anything. I do what I want in my world while you do what you want in yours..... Who am I kidding!? I kill because my family forces me to. I guess it's a habit at this point" Lethal said.
"My mom and dad are way more brutal than me. You should meet them someday" she added.
Oden nodded his head in disagreement. He replied, "Your family should perish. Killing is wrong, rights or no rights. Don't you dare make it sound like what you did was ok". Lethal grinned at Oden's reply then equipped two guns in her hands. "Keep that hat on ok" Lethal smiled at him. Terry picked up two pebbles and asked Oden one question. "Are you still going to stop our advancement?" he asked.
Oden touched the hat on his head and giggled. "It's funny. I don't feel like fighting you two anymore. It's like my will to stop you guys vanish. Why am I even here?" said Oden. He smiled back at Lethal for no particular reason. He suddenly walked out of Lethal and Terry's way with no intention of halting their progression. "See ya" Oden said waving at them. Lethal waved back as she headed further into the forest. When they were out of Oden's range of sight Terry was quick to ask "What the hell Lethal? Explain what you did to Oden".
"Hmm, all I did was equip the best weapon for that situation. I did not want to kill that man. People like him who hate murder are why I still keep on living you know. My gift understood my feelings of not wanting to kill him and gave me with a hat. A hat that erases your will to fight".
...….
The two suddenly became silent. Terry was terrified of Lethal's gift more than ever. The gift to equip a weapon that's best for the situation. A drone flew closer to Lethal staring directly at her. "What? Did I do something wrong?" Lethal asked curiously.
Uranus saw everything. He saw what played out before Oden's eyes. He used his telepathy and asked Oden what happened. "Lethal Sniper killed your teammate. She is arguably the closest one to you here on the island if I recall. So why did you let her go. You should have avenged May" said Uranus. Oden wiped the tears from his eyes and chuckled at Uranus's question. "hehehehe, May is dead. All that's there to do know is give her a proper burial when this is all over" Oden replied. Uranus did not understand Oden's actions and words in the slightest. Instead of charging at the two who kill May, he is relaxing on a tree branch. Instead of killing Lethal, he smiled with her.
"Safe to assume that Oden is out of the question now. Seems like we're going to need back our next fighter sooner than I thought" Uranus said disappointedly. He hesitated to involve Victor in combat fearing how he might destroy the island. "We already received a warning about the wreckage Victor caused. If he harms the island too much again our team will be disqualified" Uranus thought worriedly. He linked his vision with Victor's. Victor was still on the rocky path paralyzed by the supporter Lisa. Xavier was the closest to Victor's location so he asked him to rescue him.
Isaac was closing in on the home base while Lethal and Terry were getting closer as well. Uranus linked his vision with Cj's out of curiosity for what he is doing. Right now Cj is staring at Fei next to the flag while eating random leaves.
