Chereads / Tales of Eden (Remake) / Chapter 23 - Test Start

Chapter 23 - Test Start

Rick says "Demon, huh. Yet your in someone else's body"

Immense pressure floods the area. The pressure makes it hard for anyone to breathe.

Dev says "This is my body. Don't piss me off." He stops giving off the pressure thus making it easier for everyone to breathe again.

Eclipse asks Dev "What is your goal?" He replies "I have yet to have a goal. I am now truly alive. Anyway, so with the pointless questioning. Do you people want to capture me and understand what I am?"

Rick asks "Why would we do that?" Dev says "Because that is what you people do. Humans experiment on things they don't understand. Aren't I correct?"

Rick says "Your correct. I, no we have come to capture you but we won't experiment on you without your consent because that isn't who we are."

Dev says "How touching. Yet so boring. Since you won't attack me then I will attack first then."

Dev's broken arm fixes itself and is working better than ever. He flexes and stretches, then pulls his finger back and flicks. The flick sends an electric discharge from his hand to Rick but in a massive shockwave of black lightning.

This wave of power breaks Hikari's grasp on Moon. Her power being broken broke her concentration. She begins to notice the pain. Hikari let out a blood-curdling scream.

Dev says "Moon barely hurt you. And unlike him, I am not a novice with my own power.

Rick says "What a sick bastard to use his own power on his sister?" Hikari shouts "Shut up or I will slash your neck!"

Rick says "Eclipse, why are you trying to protect this weird family?" He responded, "Focus on your fight."

Dev waves his hand and it summons flying lightning spears. They move towards Rick with immense speed. One of Dev's eyes glows. The spears disappears.

Eclipse says who is watching the fight "He can teleport."

Rick gets punched from behind by Dev and launched into the lightning spear.

He gets impaled. Eclipse says "Maria. I am sorry that I involved your brother."

Maria says "No need. Class five demon. Switch to protocol call nine."

Rick says "Ok I will. Now I am allowed to battle him."

Eclipse says "What is going on? He had to be dead!" Maria says "My ability or G1 is what we like to call, it is Mother's love. My body can heal anyone. When I mean my body I mean my blood, organs, guts, hell even my brain. Rick and I are siblings so we share the same blood. I can save him from dying."

Rick says "Force repulse." The lightning spears fly out of him. Rick says "Force Attract." The spears fly to Dev.

He says "What a nice little party trick." Dev snaps and they disappear.

Maria says "Your done." Eclipse is fully healed and recuperated. Eclipse grabs his sword and charges Dev.

Maria walks over to Hikari and heals her. She says "Your burns are severe. I am surprised you're even awake." Hikari says "The power of love." Maria stays quiet. She says "I wish it was something like that. I am alive probably because of him." Hikari points to Dev.

Maria says "You mean that demon." Hikari immediately gets furious and says "No! Moon! He would always try to protect me or never let me get involved. I vowed to be the one to protect him yet I only put him down."

Dev flicks and sends a shockwave to Eclipse. He is sent flying. Dev says to Hikari "You only put him down. Every single day you would continue to outshine him leaving him no choice. I mean, you are the reason for his suicide. Living with everyone despising him while both his other siblings are out playing Golden Child."

Hikari cries and says "I should have done more."

Eclipse gets up and says "What is done is done. So stop crying and just rest up."

Eclipse says "Rick are you going to help or not?" Rick nods.

Eclipse summons more swords from the sky and they begin to fall.

Rick punches forward and the swords begin to move to Dev. Then both of them rush Dev.

Dev says "Humans are far too weak for any sort of playing." He yawns then flicks his finger and an electrical shockwave hits everyone. This sends everyone back and paralyzes them from the neck down.

He says "I could have burned all your skin off but that would be just plain wrong."

"How long are you going to watch and just sit here? You took the words of a demon at face value and were tricked. You aren't the first from Mankind for this to happen too." A voice said

Moon looks up at Astro and says "So what? I am not like some almighty god."

Astro grabs Moon by the collar and says "Listen! You think gods have it easy and are all-knowing. Piss off! Life is all about ups and downs." She lets go of Moon and says "Stop being a kid and grow up! You wanted to change right? I will give you the chance right now! That demon in your body will destroy the world."

Moon says "How do I do that? You know me. You have seen my life. I am just a weak person who doesn't have any powers." Astro says "We will make a vow." He says "Aren't vows something you do when you are married?"

Astro says "Yes for humans and a little bit for gods. Vows are promises. One that should not be broken. It would lead to a strong backlash maybe even death. It will combine our existences somewhat."

Moon says "Then vow to never cheat, lie, or betray me." Astro grabs Moon's hand, cuts him, and drinks his blood. She says "I vow to not cheat, lie, or betray Moon. Now it's your turn."

He asks "What should I vow to you?" She says "Vow that you will never give up and will save the world."

Astro cuts her hand, Moon drinks her blood then says "I vow that I will never give up and I will save the world. Also, I will change!"

Astro says "Now it's too late. Why did you have to include a self vow too?" Moon asks "What is a self vow?" She says "There is no time. I will battle Dev in your place."

Dev falls to the ground and feels unbearable pain. A holy light radiates out of him.

Astro in a white dress appears out of him.
