Apologies for unnotified the late chapter. Except to see a bonus chapter later as an apology.

Notice: Skippable? I'm not sure, I slipped a hint in this chapter for the ending of Ultra Space Arc but I doubt you noticed it.

"I, selfish?" Raven murmurs astounded. "If I'm selfish, what the f*ck are you!?"
"My motives were far from selfish," I spat.
"Even your mother would've to think humanity's extinction was going too far," Raven mocks.
"Don't make it sound like it's entirely my fault. You're just too cowardly to do it yourself, just like the day we experience our first kill," I can remember that day like it was yesterday. "It was also the same day we met,"
"I spotted a kid that my Instinct flared at to kill, but sadly he was a noble so it would have gotten me beaten by mother if I killed him here. So I invited him into my car along with 2 random strangers, they would've been witnesses that claim I didn't do nothing to the kid," I recalled.
"Meanwhile, I who got adopted nearly pissed myself. What does the mafia psychopath, Mike, want from me?" Raven added.
"Yet, neither of us knew we picked up criminals. Maybe it was because their threat level was so low my Instincts didn't notice,"
"Wrong, you were mumbling how you would have beaten them into submission which pissed them off. Luckily, it was about the same time the driver stopped in one of the Marshall family playgrounds,"
"Then your cowardly personality pissed me off and I beat you up along with them," I said. "Seriously, for a reincarnater, how couldn't you beat up 2 adults as a 5-year-old,"
"There isn't an anime with such a situation!" Raven shouts. "Plus, those guys intended on raping us so of course, I was afraid,"
"You were letting your horniness get to you. Hypothetically had they won, that driver is also my butler and bodyguard. That old man could blaze those kids with one hand behind his back," I joked.
"I didn't know you had a butler," Raven said in shock.
"He died later that day while helping get rid of some assassins," I shrugged. "So after beating the 3 of you up, my envy got the best of me. 'Won't dying from kids be their greatest shame? Furthermore, this should help the wimpy kid grow up or... break him,' I would also get an opportunity for my first kill so there's that as well,"
"Where was the envy?" Raven asked hesitantly.
"I'm someone who would envy a vagrant's freedom. The current me is even worst with Corruption," I stated. And the past me had Pure Envy and that's just plain evil.
"So you envied my..."
"Didn't I already say it?" I clearly spoke of him a second ago how could he not notice?
"F*ck you!" Raven rages quickly figuring it out.
If you hadn't guessed right, I called him a vagrant.
"Despite the two pleads to live they died and I of that time was seriously disappointed, my thoughts were something along the lines of 'that's it?',"
"Son of a!... while you thought of killing someone as the weather I was going through an existential crisis,"
"Yeah, it's practically the main reason we became friends. I was thinking, 'bullying this kid should be enough to entertain me during my stay at school'," I said nostalgically. "Started from a slave and somehow managed to become my best friend,"
"Yes, started from a what?"
"A slave. What, don't tell me you didn't know?"
"And this is why you didn't have friends,"
"No, unlike you I had,"
"Huh?"
"But I tend to kill them because they cross my bottom line. Like for f*ck sake, you're my friend not my best friend, how dare you talk about my loved ones rudely!"
"Wow," Raven seems to have underestimated the past me. I as a human was just as good if not better than humans at destroying themselves.
"Anyways, I think we have gone way off the topic,"
"True, it was about me being selfish," Raven said.
"Alright, let's start," I grinned sadistically.
"You desired power, so you accepted Necrozma's proposition. After entering the world, you quickly learned you wouldn't be able to accomplish this on your, not because you can't, but because you wouldn't and so I was designated as your pawn. You wanted a harem and so you use your knowledge to get it, you wanted to be famous you stole others' hard work and claimed it as your own. Finally, after decades past you got what you desired in this world and now you needed to take control of your own life," I explained.
"As a reincarnater, you find it disgusting to be used as someone else chess board. You never considered you owed Necrozma nor did you consider you owed me. All your actions have been for your benefit alone, just like how you never once mentioned your harem since coming here. Your cowardly nature with this made you just a disappointing piece of sh*t,"
"Damn, I sound like a total jack*ss,"
"You think?"
"I do owe you a lot, as for Necrozma, I had long since paid off my debt," Raven said. "By the way, should I say sorry or do I buy you something as my apology..."
*sigh*
"You really are one big loser huh," I murmured.
"Hey, I can hear you!" Raven shouts.
"No problem, I know," I said. "Let's get my evolution started. I believe by now you thought of a plan,"
"Of course, I did," Raven smirks.
Of course he did, who wouldn't want me as a friend. Only a fool or a coward would run away from the possibility of having me as a friend.
After all, unlike Raven, my motives have never been selfish.
