Limitless The Strongest Revenant
Chapter 287: Heroine Chapter: FUCK THE WORLD! [2/2]

'This is fine, I will take Maria to my grave. Honey doesn't need to know,' I reasoned out of cowardice.

Even in marriages, it was okay to have a few secrets, right? Who would want to reveal even the most shameful parts of their true self to the partner they loved the most?

But then he said something to Robyn that shattered whatever resolve I might have had.

"Shh. That goes for all of you. I don't care what you did before or why. That is what made you all who you are. As your man, I will shoulder all your sins from now on."

Robyn and I, although coming from different backgrounds, were similarly ashamed of our respective paths. It was okay when I was alone, but when I met Honey and his adoptive family, I saw how twisted I already became.

"It was as if we belonged to two different worlds."

It was in that moment that I decided to belong completely to John Smith. I planned to expose all the filth the sirens were desperately trying to hide. Honey would not like it, but it was necessary.

I justified my actions with a promise.

'I don't care how long it takes, I will ask for everyone's forgiveness. I do not mind being hated, but I hope no one will regret anything.'

But he saw through it all. And against all reason, the man I loved the most freed me from all my guilt and shame. By simply accepting all that I was.

"Honey. Everything Aki said is true. I am a horrible person. That is probably why I ended up in hell. John...your words to Robyn. Is it okay if I believe them too?"

And as I waited in fear for his answer. Honey gave me a glimpse of what true love was. Along with a loving kiss, his words melted all my insecurities.

"Of course. From this day on, I will shoulder all your sins. When Judgment Day comes, we will suffer the punishment together. But for now I will plan how to kill the Commando bastards in the future, okay Mrs. Code?"

Ah. So this was love. That feeling of bliss that no matter what the world threw your way, someone would be there beside you. Someone you could show your true self to. Without judgment or malice.

How could someone be like that? It made no sense! You were betrayed! How could you love someone like me? What did I do to deserve someone like you?! After crying my heart out, I asked, as I was drowning in his affection.

"Sniff. How can you hear all this and still treat me so tenderly? I am a no-good woman! Normal people would despise me for killing innocent people."

"Bella. I would kill an entire continent if it meant that you would stay with me. I am done following the rules of others. I live this life for myself. I love you, so I will always be by your side. If I killed a million people, would you stop loving me?"

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"Then I see no problem, right? I am a demon, and the Sirens are all villainesses. I think we make a great match."

Since then, his every word gave me butterflies. My eyes remained glued to him. All my skills, abilities and devotion existed only for him. Nothing else mattered.

So what happened next terrified me.

More terrified than I had ever been in my life.

"I can no longer see him."

After we sent everyone away, only John, the Sirens and I remained in the room. But as we gathered. John suddenly disappeared.

Using {Connect} I hacked every CCTV from Arizona to the North American Battlefront in Hellsgate. Blood trickled down my nose as my mind overloaded from the strain. But I didn't care. Nothing else was more important than John.

But I still couldn't replace the man I loved the most.

I belatedly noticed that the signal from his GRI had suddenly died as well. Unable to think straight, my mind kept running through the worst-case scenarios.

GRI's were coded to a reaper's soul. They never stopped transmitting because of distance, battery problems, or even if the phones were destroyed.

As long as the person still had their soulgem intact, the GRI would continue to transmit. This naturally meant that the only reason the signal would stop was if John's soulgem was no longer in one piece.

The Sirens naturally understood this, all of them used {Connect} to track John's GRI like cyber stalkers. Thus the moment his stopped, everyone knew immediately.

Even the pseudo-kindred link we had with his soul faded. Ever since he decided that we were his kindred, I gained a connection to Honey's soul.

His emotions, and to a lesser extent his thoughts, became known to me.

But it wasn't just me, it was for all the Sirens. We were able to calm him down when he experienced a soul collapse earlier because of this connection.

But suddenly it broke without warning.

The void it left behind was beyond terrifying. Humans would not value love unless they knew hate. As someone who survived on nothing but hate. Like Robyn, I became addicted to Honey's love.

With everyone still in the room, my sisters reacted much like I did.

Lilly unleashed a death resonance powerful enough to shatter the walls as she roared in rage. "WHO DARES!"

Aki jumped at Lilly' and tried to hold her back. "Lilly-sama! Control yourself! Nothing is certain."

Robyn crumpled to the ground as if her batteries had been cut. "Possum?"

Jo grabbed her sister's shoulders and shook her violently. Panic and fear were evident in her body language as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"JAS! I can't feel darling anymore! And his GRI signal is gone! What is going on?!"

Her ebony-skinned sister replied, equally distraught. "I DON'T KNOW! I am as much in the dark as you are!"

Surprisingly, only the Northerner managed to keep her composure. Despite combing the entire continent with satellites, I couldn't replace John Smith.

Liv slammed her fist into the wall.

"Everyone, calm down! It's upsetting, but it doesn't mean anything has happened to our beloved. Bella. Can you replace him with {Connect}, is he on Earth?"

"He's not in North America both here and on earth, I still can't replace him," I replied in frustration.

There were only two things powerful enough to make Honey suddenly disappear like this.

A Revenant or a Specter.

The former had only seven suspects, but none of them used such tactics.

The latter, on the other hand, had too many potential culprits, and it was impossible to be sure if It was one of them.

While my sisters and I were racking our brains, the door opened and the last person I expected came in.

"Hello everyone. Looking for something? He said with a disgusting smile.

"ZACHARY LYNCH! WHERE IS HE?" demanded Lilly with bloodlust.

"Now, now. If you all cannot control your temper, I may forget what I was about to say."

Figures flashed past the Specter, the sounds of guns firing and blades clashing echoed. Aki, Jo and Robyn were suddenly on the floor. Incapacitated.

"My goodness. You are all as bloodthirsty as he is. Barely ten seconds and four of you have already tried to kill me."

But then his smile vanished as the Nightmare suddenly shouldered a golden axe. Death resonance, as powerful as a Revenant, erupted from him like a flood.

"It seems that facing nothing but weaklings has made you all arrogant."

Then he pulled out seven sheets of black A4 paper and threw them at us. Each Siren managed to grab one.

"John Smith is destined to destroy the world. This is a Seeker's vow, leave his side or I will kill you all right now," he said nonchalantly.

"FUCK THE WORLD! GIVE HIM BACK!" I replied immediately.
