Chapter 178: Your Vengeful Creator
The next time I opened my eyes it was to see Gluttony’s concerned face in front of mine as he crouched down beside the couch.
"Hey, Pudding Pop," he chuckled faintly. "It’s about time you woke up. You’ve been asleep for a while now."
I didn’t bother to reply to his statement. Whether I had been asleep for only and few hours or a few weeks, it didn’t change anything. I was a completely different person than who I was when I first closed my eyes. I could feel the ’creature’ deep down inside of me reaching forward, wanting to claim what was hers...
What was mine?
"Show me your face," I said, staring into Beau’s eyes. The body in front of me belonged to Beau Landry, the official doctor of the Legislature Compound. I wanted to see the demon inside of it—the one who belonged to me.
Who was my creation?
"Oh, Pudding Pop," murmured Gluttony, his eyes flashing with pain for a second. "You don’t want to see my face."
I could tell that he was speaking out of concern for me and no small amount of fear that I would reject him when I saw him... but that was bullshit. Did he not know what Wrath had seen when he looked at Luci that ONE time? Did he not consider just how worried Luci would be when Wrath saw her for the first time?
"Show me," I demanded, the sleep gone from my voice. The more I thought about Luci... about what I had gone through as a result of the Sins, the angrier I got. If Wrath had accepted Lucy 10,000 years ago, I wouldn’t have been reborn on Earth. I wouldn’t have had to suffer the abuse, the pain, and the humiliation that I had endured.
