Chapter 667: Punishement
Persephone was neither a good person nor was she gentle by any means. Far from it. She had mellowed out greatly over the years but one only needed to remember that she had managed to tear down the confidence of someone like the Elf Queen to understand just how vicious she could be.
“Poison Princess, huh? A title I have not heard in years. Yet this is not the topic. Lady Echidna, I would like to ask you one question. Do you regret your action?” Persephone’s voice was soft as she forced herself to calm down.
“I do not.”
“Even though your action caused the death of so many innocents?” Persephone asked again.
“In front of the evolution of our species as a whole, all lives are inconsequential. Even my own.”
Persephone closed her mouth. She realized that she was speaking to an unhinged lunatic right now. Trying to reason with such people was nothing but a waste of time.
“If you had a chance to change the past would you do so?”
“Never.” Echidna gave a dismissive snort, filled with utter disdain of the notion itself, “The sealing helped me realize a new understanding of the Soul. Trying to overtake Nuwa’s body made me witness a new world I had never thought was possible. Two souls cohabiting in one body. How marvelous! But more than anything, my sealing led me to him.”
She gave one look at Sol, her eyes glowing with ardent fervor, “I regret nothing. Because all my actions and decisions led me towards the current situation. The result of so many coincidences. Most likely, there will never be any other being like him. Can you even understand how marvelous this is? Soon a new age will be ushered by this man and all of you will be able to partake in that. All of this is thanks to me.”
