Chapter 1289
When it felt the sensation of all of its strength leaving its body, the primordial demon instinctively knew this meant death was near.
In this incomplete world, it had no future. All its kin had vanished, leaving it as the sole survivor.
Even among them, it had been infamous for its unshakable will, for stubbornly longing for the Goddess even in solitude.
While it was the only one among them capable of wielding the power of time, thus immune to the flow of time, it had nonetheless fallen into despair after such an inconceivably long stretch of time.
Still, it yearned for the Goddess. Her existence was the sole purpose of it and its kin. She was their one and only light.
Yet, when faced with the reality, even it couldn’t hold onto its sanity. It didn’t know how the souls of its already-dead kin had hidden within it. What mattered was that they had revived through its body. With a final declaration of vengeance, they left it, and its life ended.
It never imagined death to be this peaceful. It was so warm and gentle. The sensation confused it. Floundering in that unfamiliar feeling, the primordial demon realized that it wasn’t experiencing death as it had known it.
Gradually, it became aware of its surroundings. Yet, it still didn’t know why it could feel this special feeling after death.
Even as confusion clouded its mind, a light entered its vision.
‘Light?’
It was dead. It shouldn’t have a vision anymore.
In this incomprehensible state, it felt a touch. Instinctively, it lifted its head to see a woman holding it in her arms with deep affection.
