500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 540 Puppet On Strings



Again I was screaming back in my body as the girls were all holding me down. Every fiber of my being was on fire, filled with anger for one person above all. That was because there was something that was deep inside of me that was being brought to the surface.

Rage.

This pain was from the rage I had kept buried away when my first life was ripped away from me. The person who used this Ancient Magic to create this pendant that was now powder in my hand was the one.

Kadeon.

I looked at the girls, and they all had fear in their eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, but it came out as a roar that shook every fiber of my being.

I then looked down at the charm and saw it was nothing more than dust. The person who created this pendant was alive, and I knew who it was.

"Cancer..." I said softly, remorse running through me as much as rage did. Clearly, he was using her, but what was Kadeon\'s angle?

I knew there was something off about that son of a bitch, but I could have never guessed that he wasn\'t actually my father. Even more mind-blowing, the woman I have been calling my mother was actually one of my First Wives. Tallia was expected, but Nemoria was actually her mother?

It was hard, even now, to piece everything together because it all just slammed into my head, but there was something else. The knowledge and memories of the one that was now three.

Matthias, The Dark Emperor.

I had defeated and sealed him away in three parts, but Kadeon sacrificed the few that followed him when I sent him into exile to break the seal and form a pact. I had stopped him once from destroying the world to remake it in his own image, but now he was back and I was stuck in a fight with him again.

While Kadeon was a prick going to die, Matthias\'s twisted forms were in control now, and I had been playing his game since time started. This entire time I had been led around like I had a ring in my nose by the Guides, who I now knew were just three parts of Mathias, The Dark Emperor.

Titania walked over and put a hand on my shoulder, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Galio, we need to go find her. If you are right about this, then there is no telling what else she might be up to. We can\'t let her cause any more harm."

I nodded and grabbed Titania\'s hand, taking us both through the portal back to my home island. As we stepped out, the others followed close behind.

We started down the beach, going towards Cancer\'s hut when suddenly Karine stopped us.

"Wait," She said, holding a hand for us to pause. "Do you smell that?" She asked, and Eliza sniffed the air.

"Smoke!" She exclaimed, and then we heard an explosion coming from the direction of Cancer\'s hut. I dashed, with the rest following, and when I got there, I saw flames coming from inside.

I rushed forward, and as I entered, I felt heat searing my skin. When I finally got to the center of the hut, I saw Cancer lying on the ground, surrounded by smoke.

I knelt beside her and felt a pulse, but she wasn\'t responding to my voice.

"What happened here?" I asked the others that had followed me in, but they had no answers.

I created water to put the fires out, and everyone remained silent until Titania came over and touched my arm.

"What does this all mean?" She asked, and I stood up with Cancer in my arms.

"This means everything we have ever known in this world has been a lie."

[Kadeon]

The moment that Galio had touched the amulet, Kadeon knew it was finally time. Nemoria would soon be free, but it didn\'t matter anymore.

This might have been a failure with Cancer, but it was the only way he could rid himself of the Guide\'s shackles. After countless years of waiting for this moment, Kadeon could almost taste his victory at hand.

"While you may control the Zodiacs for now, do not forget who they really are," Apocolios said as he appeared, hidden by his red robe.

"You all had your fun, but I did not have you make me into the strongest being for fun. You act like you are in control of me, but your small hold restricting my actions is about to be lifted. That is the real reason that you gave me this finger, isn\'t it?" Kadeon said in a carefree manner, but the single Guide remained silent.

Kadeon smiled maliciously and laughed before continuing on. "The moment Galio finds out that it was I controlling Cancer and finds her burnt corpse, he will fly into a fit of rage! He will come for me, and then I will kill him, once and for all!"

Kadeon started to laugh maniacally, but the hood of the red-robed figure shook back and forth.

"What are you… why did he get there so quickly?!" Kadeon snapped as he felt Galio\'s presence appear on Cancer\'s Astral Island, then he could no longer sense Cancer\'s island.

"The true God of Light will never be goaded so easily. You are neither Light nor Dark and only a god in the image that we shaped you. We did make you the strongest in this reality, but you are nothing like my rival and never will be. Play your games, False God, but know this. You will eat that finger, or everything you worked for will be for nothing," one-third of The Dark Emperor, Matthias, warned and vanished.

"They talk in riddles because each part knows that I will be the one to control them all!" Kadeon growled and then stamped down on the ground.

The golden palace around him became stone and metal, removing all the gaudy things he had been forced to look at. All the things that he was forced to do because of the Guide\'s meddling were undone.

"No longer shall I be a puppet on strings, and even if Cancer is still alive, Galio will not rest. The moment that he frees Nemoria, I will lock him in Yaggisdral!" Kadeon growled and then walked over to the throne of skulls, running his hands over each one as he walked around it.
