Chapter 20 - Answers?

The beast ended as the created space we were in shattered too revealing and turning back everything the houses and all came back as for me, My eyes bled alongside my nose as went on my knees, "Pinaka" was already gone. My vision got blurrier and blurrier as eventually, all I saw was darkness.

______________

Midas Pov,

As I regained consciousness, I felt a sense of weightlessness in my body and my head. I slowly opened my eyes and noticed a small beam of light filtering through. Looking around, I saw that I was hovering over a white, watery ground as if the water was as solid as the ground itself.

???: Healing Water...

A mysterious voice echoed, with an air of mysticism. As I looked ahead, all I could see was the bare back of a muscular man.

Midas: Who....?

???:Look at you losing to an unknown, if you weren't immortal, you would've died.

Midas: I...asked something first...

???: Why should I answer someone weaker than me...

Midas: ....

I was frustrated though something felt weird the aura of this man seemed familiar just like those black beasts.

Midas: Are you the one who gave me power?

A straightforward question and as for his answer...

???: Tshahaha...your body can't even hold one percent of my power...

Kei: 'Kei' that's what they call me

He said as he turned his head but before I could even see it my body collapsed onto the ground blood poured out of my mouth, ears, and eyes, my body felt like it just shattered and every single bone was piercing my heart...but just like a flash...everything just healed.

Kei: Don't Turn...or next time I won't heal you...

He was behind me....

Midas: What are you?....And why...

Kei: you aren't strong enough yet...I will only tell you things, I believe you should know.

Midas: ....

Kei: Your power is that of 'Greed sin', a power to create/control the Greed of others...

Midas: Greed sin ?... I don't get it.

Kei: it doesn't matter... all the beasts you have been fighting are known as 'Unknown'. Beasts that are from... beasts that don't belong in hell or heaven... though for now you can avoid fighting them.

Midas: what if they attack?

Kei: "They" will not harm humans as for you as long as you do not enter their territories. "They" have created voids similar to this one, but those voids will resemble your world. However, please note that Unknowns are capable of shapeshifting, just like the one that caused your demise.

Suddenly it was as if my body got lighter looking at my hands they were disappearing....

Midas: What is this...?

Kei: your body has healed. I guess our meeting seems to be ending.

Midas: F*ck... at least tell me something that iw wanna know...if the 'Unknown' are not enemies then who?

Kei: They don't know about you yet but soon they will....

Midas: Who?

Kei: 'Greater Gods'

My body disappeared as I opened my eyes I was back on the same street. Standing back on my feet clothes were torn apart. Looking around everything looked normal few houses had their lights on and almost all street lights were on...

Midas: Shit...just a few more would have done it...'Greater Gods' who are th...

As I was thinking an old grumpy voice came from looking back. An old man wearing a security guard outfit was coming.

Security Guard: You there What are you doing...here?
