In the main bedroom of the Penthouse.
A figure lay on the plush king-size bed, its sleek white sheets carefully tucked beneath their lower body, leaving their well-toned upper torso and arms bare. The room was spacious and modern, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stunning views of the city skyline. The walls were painted a soft shade of grey, with abstract art pieces hanging at strategic intervals. The bed was the centerpiece of the room, with its white leather headboard and matching pillows adding a touch of luxury to the space.
As the figure rested on the bed, the only sound in the room was the gentle hum of the air conditioning unit, keeping the room at a comfortable temperature. The figure's skin was smooth and free of blemishes, with defined muscles visible beneath the skin. The room was tastefully decorated, with a sleek white dresser and matching nightstands flanking the bed, each adorned with minimalist lampshades that cast a soft warm glow over the space.
As the figure lay there, their chest rose and fell with each steady breath, their eyes closed in relaxation. There is a strange scent that is pervading the air in the room, which suggests that something profane happened here.
This figure is Will.
Will just looked at the ceiling with a slightly dazed expression before shifting his head to the side, looking at the beautiful woman sleeping naked beside him while covering herself with the sheets on the bed.
She has an exhausted expression on her face but with a satisfied smile on her lips, which shows that whatever she has just finished before sleeping was exhausting and at the same time satisfying.
He couldn't help but show a soft gentle smile on his face when seeing her peaceful but satisfied smile.
He couldn't help but move his hands slowly near her face to caress her cheeks softly without waking her up.
But as she sensed the movement near her in her sleep, she immediately hugged the hand that was outstretched to her and moved them between her exposed breasts to hug them as a pillow.
Seeing this Will just kept his smile and didn't move again but just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The other figure is obviously Ava.
And if you are wondering how we reached such a thing?
We will just have to go back in time to a few hours ago just after Will threw away the Red Orb through the Space crack.
…..
….
…
..
.
After throwing the Red Orb, Will immediately fell into his thoughts again.
Seeing this, Ava this time didn't disturb him and just sat quietly on the side and kept looking at his profile quietly without any movement since she can see that he is thinking seriously about something.
As for Will?
His head is currently empty.
He wasn't thinking about anything.
He was just putting a serious expression on his face without any reason.
But after a few minutes of staying like this, he begins to think seriously about his current relationship with Ava, and his reasons for not advancing their relationship.
After thinking, and thinking more, his head still remained empty.
He couldn't find a reason.
Hmm….
He immediately thought of reason, but it slipped away from him.
And then for a while, Will's expression turned from a serious one to a confused one.
He never had any relationship with anyone.
Only three people have relationship with him since his birth in this Universe.
Ava, an irritating old man, and Max, Max can be considered his half-disciple for now since he doesn't know Will yet.
As for the other people in this Universe?
They were either food to eat or people that he saw beneath him.
Maybe, I should change my ways now?
I think the times of hate have long passed.
And if I want to ascend, it is better to be free of worries.
And having a clear heart is also an important point.
What does it matter if I have all of this power and still can't be free from my past?
Hmm….
That doesn't seem bad.
It is better to break this shell that I created around myself and go out a lot to know more people.
It is good to know more people.
Should I start by visiting that irritating old man?
Hmm…
No, better not, he is going to nag me for a long time.
Then let's just start with Ava and leave the rest for later.
After Will decided to take his first step in this direction of being free of worries, the connection between him and something outside the Universe grew stronger, but Will now wasn't focusing on that so he will notice later that his connection grew stronger.
Although it won't change anything for now, as he doesn't intend to Ascend anytime soon.
While Will was lost in his thoughts all of this time.
His expression kept changing between disgust, annoyance, arrogance, sadness, and thoughtful and in the end, he smiled gently.
Ava was staring at Will confused at what was occurring in her master's mind for him to change his expression like this all the time.
When she saw him smile, she wanted to motion to him and ask a question, but what she didn't expect is that in the next moment, Will turned his head to her and with a small smile that brought Ava a slight shiver in her bones.
He immediately arrived in front of her and carried her in a princess carry.
"Woaah"
Ava immediately exclaimed from surprise, as it is the first time her Master would do something like this.
When he usually carried her in the past, he usually carried her on his shoulder or placed her under his arm, without any care, he would just throw her on his shoulder when he was in a hurry to go somewhere.
Remembering this made her slightly bitter, but she immediately put away any distracting thoughts and looked at her Master quizzically waiting for him to say what is he doing right now after the emotional upheaval he showed with the constant changes of expressions on his face.
Seeing the look that Ava was giving me, I just looked at her and smiled gently.
"What?" Ava is again surprised by the gentle smile that is directed at her.
Yes, it isn't her first time to see her Master smile gently like this at her.
But this is the first time his smile appeared free of worries and a little excited as if what he is going to do next is something important to him.
So that naturally surprised Ava, she just looked at her Master with more curiosity overflowing from her eyes, as she can't seem to wait for what is it that her Master is going to do next.
But what he said next made her stare at him blankly for a while.
Will seeing Ava looking at him with all of this curiosity decided to speak with a smile.
"Ava, how long has it been since you started following me?"
Ava seemed to think seriously about the amount of time, but Will just stopped her by continuing to speak again.
"Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Even if I don't remember correctly, I only remember the eyes of the little girl that I decided to save at the time because the look in your eyes at the time was different."
At the time Will was rampaging in the Universe, so while passing by one of the galaxies in the Universe, he witnessed something unforgivable.
Not because it was immoral or something like that.
Will have seen tons of immoral things and have seen all kinds of dark things in this Universe.
But what he saw at the time made him angry to the extreme and was one of the reasons that made him choose to take care of Di… No Ava at the time.
But well that is for later, for now, Will continued with his words.
"And since then, you have been following me, while I rampaged around and didn't even complain or judge me once at any of the things I have done at the time."
Yes, in the past I have done terrible things, but it is not always about devouring, there were sometimes when I have done worse things before even devouring those people.
But Ava at the time didn't feel disgusted in the slightest and continued following me, and as time passed, I noticed that her feeling for me have increased from just the love for being a savior or her Master to something more.
Even now, I have no idea about the reason but that is something that Will will know its answer in the future not now.
"At the time, I noticed your feelings, but I couldn't really reciprocate them as a relation between Master and Disciple was enough for me at the time, and my heart wasn't ready for such a thing."
"But now, I guess we can try, and the first thing to do is by taking your body," finished Will his words with a smile.
Hearing all of this Ava just kept staring blankly at Will.
She just was very surprised hearing his words and his half-confession, that she didn't notice that the side of her eyes started gathering large drops of crystalline clear tears.
Those tears just kept flowing silently from her eyes as she just stared blankly at Will.
Will just let her be, and cleaned her tears using his hands, while he was doing this Ava woke up from her daze feeling embarrassed, because she cried like this in front of her Master when she hasn't cried since forever.
But she didn't dwell too much on the feeling of embarrassment, because she is very happy that her Master, finally started to leave the shadows of the past.
Then she noticed something, that she have overlooked when she heard her master's words.
It is that he said that he is going to take her body and the fact that they are heading in the direction of the main bedroom in the Penthouse.
This made Ava's face turn completely red like a tomato.
Even though Ava was acting seductive with her Master from time to time, she is still pure and hasn't done anything like kissing or the such.
So jumping right to action was a bit overwhelming for her, but she still didn't object and stayed obedient in her place with a heart filled with anticipation and expectations for what is about to happen.
