Pablo was chosen by the Gods of Seraphim, he was the worst and biggest criminal back on Earth, the whole world was after him.
All these things made him believe he would get the most overpowered Ego and yet he got the weakest Ego.
If Egoes were supposed to be the same as the will and beliefs one had since their birth, then Pablo was sure he would have gotten an overpowered Ego. But reality was often disappointing.
The Enchanted Mirror shone an upsetting bright white color and Pablo never hated brightness until that moment.
He became a fun stock for all the people present in the room and all he could was to clench his fists.
'I will kill everyo-'
TING!
His mirror made a sound.
"The daughter of the Count is here!" A soldier announced in his full voice.
All the faces, including the soldiers and Cupid, turned towards the door of the plot number 9 but Pablo was focused on the mirror.
'What is it, now?' Pablo didn't know if the mirror was supposed to make a sound after showing the color of the Ego.
He wanted to ask Cupid but he was still sore of her making fun of him.
He couldn't care less about the daughter of the count as he shifted all his focus on the Enchanted Mirror in front of him.
He stared at it intently and after a second, some words appeared on it.
[ An anomaly is detected! ]
[ Two lives are being seen in the applicant. ]
[ The Void Grief is dead but his strong will remains in the body. ]
'That's right.'
[ The body of Void Grief has a different soul than his own. ]
[ Checking the soul… ]
[ Checking completed! ]
[ The Soul belongs to Pablo Castillo from planet Earth. ]
[ You have lived one life before and you are living one now. ]
[ Therefore, you will get one more Ego! ]
[ Now showing the life of Pablo Castillo! ]
Pablo had no clue what was going on.
He was delighted that he would get one more Ego but he also had his suspicions.
'Is this supposed to happen? Is this really normal? I am fine, right?'
He asked such questions to the only person he could ask but that person was busy looking at the Count's daughter.
"All the soldiers are requested to attend Miss Herald. It is the count's order!" A soldier announced another thing and the next second, all the hundreds of soldiers present in the room went towards the daughter of the count, Miss Herald.
The other applicants were also focused on the daddy's girl, and Pablo just shook his head.
'I'll be fine. Bring it on, mirror.'
Pablo ignored everything happening around him and the mirror finally began to show his life. The life of Pablo Castillo.
Two boys were born in a normal house in Poland, the mother and father of the children were happy. They were beaming with joy. They were blessed with twins.
Pablo watched the scene with no expressions. Not even a single strand of his hair flinched.
The first month after the twins were born went smoothly but that was the end of the good times.
The boys' country was then invaded by the merciless Adolf Hitler and his world turned upside down.
Pablo saw Hitler's face and finally a reaction escaped his body. His fingers twitched, watching the invasion inside his homeland.
The mirror showed more memories and when the boys reached six years of age, one of the two boys was shown shooting both his mother, father and his twin brother.
The boy and all his three family members were wearing white clothes with black stripes on it and the faces of the boy's family members were smiling as the boy shot all three of them with no expressions.
The last one to die was the mother of the boy and she was also the one carrying the most tender gaze a person could manage. The tender gaze of a mother looking at her child.
"I will always love you, And-"
BANG!
The boy shot one more bullet on his mother and she finally died without completing her last words. The six year old boy murdered his entire family in cold blood.
Something happened between six years after the invasion that caused the boy to kill his own family. And only Pablo and the Gods knew about that.
The boy, after killing his mother, stared at her face.
"My name is Pablo Castillo."
The boy revealed which was obvious from the start. The boy was none other than Pablo.
After that day, Pablo's crimes knew no bounds. He killed and killed and killed.
He saw the holocaust by Hitler and all he learned from it was to kill.
World War II was ongoing when Pablo was six years old and he found a perfect opportunity to unleash the animal inside him.
He killed anyone he saw on the battlefield. He just wanted to relish in blood. He forgot the real color of his skin. He could only see red.
Killing was living. Killing was breathing. Killing was good. Killing was easy. Killing was walking. Killing was swimming. Killing was great. Killing was the only thing that mattered. Killing was Pablo Castillo.
More time passed in the mirror as Pablo watched them with no reactions. After that twitch of his fingers, no further reactions escaped. He watched everything with an indifferent gaze.
On April 30, 1945, Hitler shot himself in the head in Berlin in an underground chamber.
The man responsible for the murders of countless people died and from that day, a new name began to emerge from the shadows.
Criminal X.
There was no one to stop Pablo and he didn't stop himself as well.
He planned assassinations, bombings, genocides, bank robberies and all the crimes that ever existed.
He learned all the bad things and used them for doing more crimes. He learned good things and also used them for doing more crimes.
Then, however, a time came when the violence became less in Pablo's life.
He started smiling, he started laughing.
In the mirror, a woman appeared with Pablo and for some reason the monster inside Pablo was tamed.
The mirror showed the full face of the woman and by that scene, a rare occurrence occurred.
Pablo, standing in front of the mirror, smiled and that smile was not the smile of a criminal, it was the smile of a normal man with a normal heart.
However, the sins of people always catch up to them.
The scene in the mirror changed as it showed various events.
BOOM!
THAAM!
BANG!
BANG!
Blasts, gun shots, fire everywhere, the mirror showed all such scenes and Pablo's normal smile vanished. He didn't smile after that.
In the mirror, after that day, Pablo wreaked havoc in every part of the world and after some more memories, the International Court of Justice was shown and those were Pablo's last moments.
He saw the judgment, the torcher bestowed upon him by the five soldiers, the crucifixion and his last murder of millions of people in the garbage dumpster.
And like that, the Enchanted Mirror finished showing the life of Pablo.
Pablo stayed silent, he didn't even look here and there. His eyes were only in the mirror.
If the mirror was going to give a Ego by judging Pablo's entire life, then Pablo was sure he would get something vile and heinous. Something worthy of him.
TING!
The mirror made the same sound again and some words appeared on it as well.
[ You, Pablo Castillo, also known as Criminal X, lived a life full of misery, loneliness, sadness, anger, popularity and nasty crimes. ]
[ Your desires know no bounds. You want everything. You want everything others have. You want all the things that you like even if those things don't belong to you. ]
[ This trait, this jealousy of yours, this never ending desire of yours, this quality, my dear, is the worst. ]
[ You embody all the seven sins of humanity and that, Pablo Castillo, as a Human is the worst thing anyone could have. ]
[ Therefore, your Ego will be the one that was never acquired by anyone. That was never given to anyone. But your will, your mindset is begging me to give that Ego to you. ]
[ By seeing your whole life, I have come to the conclusion that you, my dear, are really the Evilest of them all! ]
[ Taking everything into account, your Ego shall be… ]
The Enchanted Mirror gave a lengthy description and Pablo waited with bated breaths.
'The last time I was this excited was when I killed a president.'
Everyone else was still busy watching the daughter of the count, no one was paying attention to Pablo as according to them, he received the weakest Ego possible.
Cupid, for some reason, was also looking at the count's daughter and amidst all that, the mirror finally showed the color Pablo's Ego.
There was no sudden bright light, there was no sound, there was no countdown, the mirror straightaway showed the color of Pablo's second Ego.
And as soon as Pablo saw his Ego's color, his lips curled up.
His life, his desires, his mindset didn't let him down as the color of his Ego was…
