Chapter 276
[This is the past you ran away from]
[Gabriel]
[Why so angry now?]
I stood in the middle of the ruins, my heart and expression as cold as ice. It was the truth I had just witnessed. And it was the truth what she said as well.
I did run away because, in the end, I was a human.
[But you know that's a lie, don't you?]
'It is.'
It was a lie.
I was afraid of the truth. I didn't want to know whether my people had really been corrupted by power. Whether my son was really blinded by his familial love that he ignored what I taught him.
What I was afraid of was turning into Andrew. Just like how my brother was willing to sacrifice thousands of people to revive his dead girlfriend, I was afraid I might turn into him too.
Of course, I still killed billions of people, but I never sacrificed them. The only magic I ever used was using my own power, not the human life.
