The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 92
Sansar spoke softly, extending his hand.
His long hair made him appear feminine, but his distinctly androgynous voice revealed his masculinity.
“We don’t have much time, so shall we get to the point?”
Roxelyn frowned at his words.
“Did you know? While some Abysses are visible, others are not. There are Abysses with specific conditions too. Do you know what your Abyss is?”
“…No.”
Roxelyn shook her head.
“Rose, your Abyss can only be awakened by death.”
“…What?”
Death usually means the end. What kind of Abyss could be awakened in that manner? No one would be able to use that kind of thing.
“It’s a kind of resurrection Abyss. After dying, you can return to the past and live once more in someone else’s body.”
Roxelyn grimaced.
“Returning to the past only applies to your own, so inevitably, you’ll return to your world.”
But then, hadn’t Roxelyn already died once?
She was already living again in another world, another body.
‘I thought this was due to Marquis Gerun’s ability…’
Was that not the case?
Roxelyn frowned.
“Due to external interference, your Abyss hasn’t fully awakened yet. It’s in a semi-awakened state.”
“…”
“The power I shared with you, as I mentioned before, can’t be used right now.”
Sansar flicked his lips.
“It’s a power that can only be used once your Abyss is awakened. So, it’s also something you can use only after you die.”
He smiled beautifully. If not for his gender ambiguity, one might think him a beautiful woman.
“Do you know why Kaluta is so strong, Rose?”
“Guess.”
“Because I am the god of war.”
Sansar.
The god symbolizing strength, war, and battle.
Wherever he passed, all would bow their heads, and with a single punch, he could flatten even the mightiest mountains.
“You really were a god.”
“Thought I was fake?”
“You never told me yourself.”
Roxelyn spoke calmly.
Sansar laughed heartily, as if delighted by her response.
“And I can directly bestow my power onto the Khan of Kaluta.”
Sansar approached Roxelyn slowly and kissed her forehead.
“My Rose.”
A white light seeped into her forehead.
“After you die, you will become stronger than any Kalutan.”
“…What the hell am I supposed to do after dying?”
“I like all worldlines, but I love the one where I met you the most.”
Sansar spoke softly, snapping his fingers. A screen depicting a scene appeared out of nowhere.
Roxelyn’s eyes widened slightly.
It was a grave. The neglected grave of the Bellion ducal family, forgotten and unkempt.
“Do you have any desire to go back?”
“…”
Roxelyn inhaled slowly, not so naive as to miss the implication of his words.
Her trembling gaze met Sansar’s.
“Rose, thank you for bringing my children out.”
Roxelyn remained silent.
“But no matter how much you change the future here, some things remain unchanged. Because this is not your world.”
“Did you meet me just to use me like this?”
“No, I was just hungry amidst the game. Sorry.”
Sansar nonchalantly threw out a reply to Roxelyn’s serious question.
Roxelyn frowned.
“In human terms, meeting you was a stroke of serendipity.”
Sansar looked at her.
“But it might have been inevitable.”
“It doesn’t seem like there’s anything good for me.”
“…I just gave you power, what are you talking about?”
“Giving a gift that can only be used after death is a bit too cruel, don’t you think?”
Roxelyn narrowed her eyes.
“Ah! Or is it that Kaluta means so little to you? If that’s the case, I understand.”
A bitter sneer mixed with her emotionless, monotone voice.
Sansar looked at Roxelyn, who now had a flushed face.
“What do you expect? Though, what I’ve already given you was quite an excessive gift crossing the line…”
“Maybe if you offered something I could use right now, I’d understand the weight of your presence?”
Roxelyn cut him off.
It was then that Sansar remembered their relationship hadn’t always been just pleasant.
‘…Did my memory beautify just because we haven’t seen each other for a while?’
Sansar looked at Roxelyn, who was attempting to rip him off now.
“Then, what do you want?”
Roxelyn laughed wickedly upon finally hearing what she wanted to hear.
