Chapter 651: Karma Severing
The hunt ended, the night receded, and a new day graced the world as the sun rose over the horizon.
In a memorial park that was being built and engraved with the names of all the people who died during the war against Wratharis, Sol was sitting with his true body and throwing seeds for the doves and pigeons to feast on.
The events of the prior night hardly disturbed any citizens, only a few were even aware of the happenings. Thus Sol watched as the people of Lustburg continued their regular lives. Some families came to the monument with flowers and broke down in tears. Some people came with bitterness and resentment in their hearts. A few widows came holding their children or with their growing bellies, filled with a new life.
It was a bitter reminder, a sight that no amount of statistics could perfectly convey— the depth of emotions.
War was sad. War tore families apart. Forever separating them. The only profit it brought was to the ruler class of a country, but not regularly. Meanwhile, the commoners were left with facing the harsh consequences and subsequent pain and suffering that was left in a war’s wake.
I am sorry.
Sol apologized inwardly. His eyes left the wailing people and focused on the eager pigeons, they seemed to have gotten a bit too fat for their own good. This was the first true war that Lustburg went in after eighteen years. Unfortunately, it would not be the last.
Sol needed to conquer the world and even the entire universe to accomplish his selfish ambitions. For these ambitions, for his selfishness, many people would have to die. Even more innocents would have to suffer.
All he could do, to alleviate their suffering by even a minuscule margin, was become stronger so fast that very few people would even dare to face him and question him. That way, fewer people would have to suffer a sorry fate.
