Apocalypse Regression's

Making Cruel Decisions

Three hours later.

After hearing the story from Brian, everyone stared at Ark and inhaled a cold breath. Although the young man did not hurt Evans, he had previously left Ark's sister to achieve his own goals.

“Can-can you leave the Boss' sister!” shouted Leon furiously.

The scream instantly frightened Brian. He felt that telling everything honestly seemed wrong. But the young man also realized something important, Ark would definitely know that he was lying.

“Enough, Leon. You know it has nothing to do with it. However, there is something that makes me very interested ..”

“Crux of Shadow? Alrighty! REALLY VERY GOOD!”

The powerful killing intent instantly made everyone break out in a cold sweat. They all lowered their heads, not daring to stare at the Ark at all. In fact, some of them feel tight and difficult to breathe.

Compared to a level 4 mutated beast that only carried terror due to its power, the man in front of them was more terrifying because of the number of creatures that had been killed by it!

After a while, Ark calmed down. He then sat back down lazily and said.

“Omong-by the way, although you are not responsible for what happened to Evans, it even helped him a lot .. This still adds one more reason why the Sword of Sufferings cannot accept you.”

“Why? Is it because I'm Evans' best friend? Isn't that unfair?” brian asked with a look of disbelief on his face.

“Since the beginning of the world it has never been fair, Brian. So you have to get used to it. Don't you just want revenge? You don't need to join an organization to do it.”

“A-What do you mean, Mr Hades?” asked Brian with wide eyes.

Ark propped up his chin with a faint smile on his face. The young man then said in a very relaxed tone.

“You know? I like to make trades. You have brought me some very useful information, so I can repay you. However, to fight Crux of Shadow just for simple information .. isn't that not equivalent?”

“You mean?” asked Brian with a surprised expression.

“Do something for me. Instead, the people you hate .. I will bring her back so you can finish her off with her own two hands. Hows it? Isn't that interesting?”

For some reason, Brian's heart was racing. Everything around him became darker. At the moment he thought of revenge, the young man only saw a pair of red eyes staring at him and a hand outstretched towards him.

‘Is .... I can really get revenge with my own hands?’

The question once again came to his mind.

A few hours later.

While the others rest, Ark gathers Draco, Leon, and Saito. There was a reason why he only called the three of them. The young man would give a different special task to the three of them.

“Do you want to pick up your sister soon, Chairman?” ask Draco.

“Do we need to pick her up in the most magnificent way, Boss?” added Leon.

Ark did not immediately reply, but just stared at the two of them in silence. Seeing how excited the two of them were compared to him, the young man shook his head lightly. He then turned his gaze towards Saito.

According to Brian's explanation, there was clearly no one who could break through the boundary or make an evolution in the Spirit of Fire. So ... are you sure Evans can actually do it?”

“I'm very sure, Chief. Do you not believe? Or maybe, you think that Evans has something to do with Crux of Shadow?” ask Saito.

“I believe you, but also believe that Evans is not crazy enough to join the people who arrested and tortured him. Besides, there's something strange. For example, why would he be able to escape from the Crux of Shadow? How did he get that power?”

“I don't know, but there should be people who might purposely release it.” Saito looked puzzled, but he had high suspicions about this.

“I also suspect like that. Tell me, Saito. Other than his strength breaking through level two, did you find something else strange? Is he able to change his body like we are in the mode of activating miracle root?”

Hearing Ark's question, Saito's eyes immediately widened. He then recalled the power of Crux of Shadow which was indeed also strong, but did not have ‘mode fight’ like Sword of Sufferings.

“You mean, the power of Evans and Crux of Shadow have the same source, Chairman?”

“Not the same, but it should be similar.”

“Is it impossible to use other means to level up, Chairman? For example destroying the heart, waiting for miracle root to die and eat it? Although not getting special abilities, but we can get nutrients to strengthen the body, right?”

Hearing Saito's question, Ark nodded.

“Theoretically it is true. But this cannot be done because there are two basic things that are missed. First, a powerful poison that could kill an ordinary human while swallowing it. Lastly, ordinary physiques that could not adjust to the impact of direct absorption were too great. The body would not be able to adjust itself if it was shocked, so eventually the person would explode.

If it wants to eat the heart of a mutated creature, there are two special conditions that must be met. It has the ability to withstand powerful poisons, as well as a body that is able to adjust and absorb the flow of power and turn it into its own. Too bad, all my life, I've never seen such a miraculous human being.”

At that moment, Ark thought of a creature. But immediately shook his head. If what Evans had was similar to what the Crux of Shadow chief had obtained, it was too strange since it should be impossible for the creatures to appear in the same place.

Finding just one was like looking for a piece of hay in a pile of needles, so the appearance of more than one in one place was obviously too much. Except ...

‘Could this place be the scene of the first generation of the creature? If that's true, then the city's start line is too high.

Simon of Crux of Shadow clearly had this ability. If Evans also has the same ability, it means there is still one more person who has that ability. Because basically, according to research conducted many years later .. there are three beings from the first generation!

If that's true, who gets the last creature?’

Thinking that, Ark's palms were sweating. Although it was no more terrifying than the people who grew up with evolution and absorbed the root miracle, it did not mean that they had no advantage. There are some advantages to it, such as easier growth. There are other benefits too.

At that moment, Ark instantly recalled the appearance of his sister. After thinking things through carefully, he finally made a decision.

‘I have to make sure whether it is right or wrong. If it's true, then I should do it.’

‘Evans, maybe this is cruel and you can blame me, but ..’

‘I have to make sure that you can grow and survive in this cruel world.’

Taking a deep breath, Ark then looked towards Saito.

“I have an important task for you, Saito.”
