Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Noah and Kumar couldn't even look at the dead body while Sam is already back at eating as if he didn't do anything.

They couldn't help but shiver a bit. With all the bloodshed they caused throughout the years, they couldn't be half as bold and cold as Sam.

While specter is collecting the information from the soul of the Inner disciple, he let his shadow undead out to dig out the bodies of the guards. Even though the trees sucked all the flesh and blood and what was left was a skeleton covered with barely any skin.

The shadow undead cut the heads of these people and brought them to Sam who threw them into a separate storage device along with the head of the inner disciple.

He took the undead back and finished the rest of the meat that he roasted carefully.

After he was done with the cleanup, he left the bones of the beast along with the headless body of the inner disciple at the gate of the town, tying them up to the arch. At the same time, he threw the copies of the recording crystal to different people in the town.

He left the copy of the recording crystal that has the video of him killing the inner disciple with his body and left the place.

Later, the three of them once again got on the back of Sky as they made their way back to the base of the operations so that they can take the contribution points.

On their way back the atmosphere is a bit awkward. Sam is calmly enjoying the view while talking with Sky as if they are on a picnic.

He looked at their awkward expressions and felt a bit troubled.

"What is wrong with you guys? You are awfully calm for a while. It is completely unlike you."

They don't know what to say. After some hesitation, Kumar spoke.

"Sam, have you ever thought that what we might be doing is wrong? Destroying one organization after another, killing thousands of people, and then being responsible for the turmoil caused by the elimination of these organizations.

Do you know how many people die because of the aftereffects of the disappearance of these organizations?

I have seen them, we have seen them. Throughout the years, we have triggered countless wars, the number of innocents that were killed in the process is unimaginably high.

We are carrying the sin that could make an army of men die of guilt.

But we are doing it anyway.

Even the young man and the guards we just killed, we don't have any form of relationship with nor do we have any rivalry, but we still killed him in cold blood.

Every time we killed like that, we cannot keep our minds calm, but we had to move on and force ourselves to do this again and again.

But you seem…"

Kumar paused there a bit and observed Sam's expression and Sam just smiled and said.

"I am very okay with it? Is that what you want to say?" He asked.

"Not exactly, but along the lines," Kumar replied awkwardly. Then Noah spoke.

"We know that you are cruel to your enemies, but you are not exactly cruel to the people you don't know. You might disregard them, ignore them, but most of the time, you were polite to them and acted perfectly normal.

But how can you just get on with your life after ripping a man's head off like that as if you did nothing? That man did no harm to you. How can you be so cold about it?"

Sam chuckled and asked.

"Let me get this straight before I say anything. Are you asking me this because you want to know exactly why I was cold and don't seem to feel anything after doing all this? Or do you want to know how I do this so that you could feel okay with all this? What do you want to know?"

Both of them became silent for a moment and Sam gave them their time to mull over it and said.

"Whatever the reason your question is for, here is my answer. I don't know how to make you guys feel okay for what you did and what you are about to do and I wouldn't say I am completely okay with whatever I have done and whatever I am about to do.

It is just I don't let the guilt bear down on me.

After all, in this particular situation think about it. The gods that were being worshipped by our organization for decades, centuries, and in some places thousands of years. But they are willing to let them die in the hands of us, the players which they picked just for their own entertainment.

Those same gods brought me here forcing me to kill their worshipers to provide their entertainment and I don't know what the consequences of that would be.

I don't say that it is their mistake for worshipping such gods. I don't know if it is, and I don't say that I don't carry the sin of killing this many people and being the cause of death of many more. It is just that I value myself more and my pursuit of truth than all the lives I would take in the process.

I just feel that if it comes to it, the guilt of killing these people is lighter than the burden of not knowing why I am here and why I am doing what I am doing."

"Are you saying that all these thousands of lives are worth less than your curiosity?"

"I don't know what they are worth and I cannot possibly fathom. Maybe they are and maybe they are not.

Anyway, we don't know what the gods do to us if we don't do what they asked of us. If this is the start of our journey, I might have just killed myself and would have been done with it, but I have traveled too much and come too far, I cannot stop this in the middle anymore. So, I have to see the end of it."

The rest of the journey was silent.

Sam doesn't know if they are convinced or understood. And his reason is not some noble and profound this. All of it is but the selfishness of a human being.

They arrived at the Water crystal city and showed their tokens before entering the secret room once again,

Inside the room, the deputy commander is sitting at the table as he is talking with a team.

They waited for ten minutes before the talk was over.

They went to the table to meet the deputy commander.

"Hello, the three-person group and independent, all humans. How are you guys doing?"

"We are doing good, how are you?"

Sam said as he took out recording crystals and placed them on the table and then proceed to place one head after the other beside them.

"The Farm town of the Myriad beast sect. Destroyed the farm, made the relationship between the farmers and the sect sour, killed the person in charge and all of his personal guards. Need evaluation and the points and we will be on our way to the next target."

The deputy commander Myrion looked surprised, but he looked at Sam and said with a smile.

"You guys are good, but we need to do some confirmations and it would take a few hours. Why don't you guys come after four hours? We will arrange your stay in the inn."

Sam shrugged and looked at the other two, they nodded and three of them went outside guided by an attendant and were led to the inn.

"Go and check at the information desk."

Myrion said and went through with the recording crystals.

He looked through the destruction of the fields and the guards stealing the produce.

As for the killings, Sam didn't submit the video of it and only gave the heads. Their faces could be identified through the videos and it is pretty obvious.

After a few hours, the person who went to the information desk came back with the confirmation that the town was indeed under chaos and he also got the information about how Sam left the headless corpse near the gate.

"Call them."

Myrion sent someone to call the trio back.

"Give me your tokens."

The trio placed the tokens on the desk and the deputy took his token and tapped on all three of them. A number appeared on them with all three showing one hundred on each.

"You did a great job. You are the first person to destroy the system of a town. The news must have traveled to the sect by now and they might even be sending someone down there. So, be careful. We might not be able to avenge if you die in their hands."

"Thanks for your concern."

Sam said as he took the three tokens and gave the two back to Noah and Kumar before they walked away.
