Chapter 128: The frightening realization

Zara stood a couple of meters behind Noah, keeping a safe distance to ensure she wouldn’t be harmed unnecessarily.

Meanwhile, Noah faced Belzebuth, who lay motionless on the ground, waiting for his fate.

He didn’t resist. He didn’t even have the will to.

All he wanted… was for it to end.

He hadn’t refused Zara’s mother the right to copy his talent out of arrogance. No.

It was because his talent was incomplete.

Broken.

He couldn’t let that creature discover his deepest insecurity—his greatest liability.

So when he found out she had tricked him to extract his talent, he snapped.

And the only reason he had let Zara live—rather than kill her outright—was because she didn’t carry his talent.

Otherwise, she would’ve died too. He wouldn’t let another being go through the same pain as him.

Belzebuth sighed heavily inwardly.

’All these struggles, all these fights… for nothing.’

’My rebellion against my father… for nothing.’

’My arrival in this world, all to accumulate power, to find a way to perfect my talent or even change the cursed bloodline inside me… all for nothing.’

All of it—for nothing?

His heart ached. All he had ever wanted was to escape his father’s shadow.

To have something of his own. To not be known as the broken child.

And now it had all come to an end because of—

Belzebuth turned his head slightly, his body still aching from the damage of his transformation. He looked at Noah, who sat calmly nearby—watching him, but clearly distracted. His mind was elsewhere.

But even in this moment of distraction, Belzebuth could sense it—if he so much leaked a thought of killing intent, he wouldn’t even realize how he died.

’How can a being like him exist?’

How was he able to use so many concepts with ease… as if he was them, at his age?

How?

This child is… an abomination.

Pause.

Abomination?

Belzebuth’s eyes widened.

“Abomination…?” he muttered aloud.

His voice trembled, his gaze sharpened in fear and realization.

“ABOMINATION?!”

He shouted—staggered by something terrifying, something earth-shattering.

Because that term wasn’t thrown around lightly.

Not even his father, as powerful and monstrous as he was, was called that.

And that’s when it clicked.

“That chime of the Akashic Records… it was you.”

“FUCK—fuck, it was you?!”

Noah blinked, puzzled. “What nonsense are you spouting now? Don’t worry, father-in-law, I won’t kill you. Rest easy.”

But Belzebuth wasn’t listening anymore. His mind raced.

He had just discovered something incredible.

Something the entire universe would kill to know.

He looked into Noah’s eyes—deeply, desperately.

“You… you’re the third Abomination.”

Yes.

Belzebuth had uncovered Noah’s true identity.

The identity the entire cosmos feared.

The identity Noah himself… had no idea about.

…

Meanwhile, at the Academy—

Alice entered her room after a long, exhausting day. Her room mirrored her personality—lush, serene, and entirely green.

Even the ground and ceiling shimmered with hues of emerald.

But it was crafted with such elegance, such finesse, that one couldn’t help but feel at peace inside.

It was oddly comforting.

The moment Alice stepped in, she collapsed face-first onto her bed.

Since Zara’s disappearance, her vice president duties had fallen upon her. On top of classes, training, and council work—her days were packed.

She hadn’t even had time to review her own studies.

“Ahh… tired…”

Her voice was soft—so sweet it nearly rivaled Lilith’s. Yet it carried weight, too. A kind of power.

Even her simple sigh made the air tremble.

And if not for the reinforced barriers Elira had built into her room, that trembling wouldn’t have been the only consequence.

“When… will this situation end?”

She mumbled into her pillow.

Elira had promised to help her stabilize her power. But since then… nothing.

She waited.

And waiting was agony.

No one knew how difficult it was—to want to speak, but be forced into silence. Because her voice alone could destroy.

No one knew how difficult it was to always stay silent.

Not because she wanted to stay silent—but because she had to.

Sigh.

Alice exhaled again, gazing at her ever-green ceiling.

Sometimes, she wondered how Zara was doing.

Before leaving, Zara had simply said she was going on an adventure with Neko.

But…

’Are you doing okay, Zara?’

Alice worried. Even if Zara never saw her as more than a superior, Alice truly cared.

She didn’t know Zara’s past—but it must’ve been dark, twisted. Something that made her afraid of love itself.

That’s why Alice had been relieved when Neko came into her life.

And hopeful, too, when Noah appeared.

“I just hope… he doesn’t hurt her.”

She didn’t doubt Noah’s appeal—he was powerful, charismatic, and charming.

If he pursued her, Zara might eventually give in.

“And if he ever dares to hurt her…”

Alice smiled—fiercely.

She wasn’t violent by nature. If anything, she was gentle and kind.

But when it came to protecting her loved ones—

She would become a monster.

“Better sleep.”

Tomorrow would be another long day.

She sighed once more, closed her eyes—

And drifted off.

Unaware that three beings—one with white eyes, one with glowing purple irises, and one made of shadows—were watching her.

…

In the White Realm—

Elira, Selene, and Shadeva had just finished observing Alice.

“What do you two think of her?” Elira asked, casually.

Selene frowned. “Why do you ask?”

“Because she’ll be part of Noah’s harem,” Elira replied.

Pause.

Selene turned toward her sharply.

Her eyes cold. “How many are there already?”

“Around eleven,” Elira said with a teasing smile.

Selene exhaled sharply. Rage bubbled beneath her calm exterior.

“I see.”

She turned to Shadeva.

“Are you one of them?”

“No,” Shadeva replied instantly.

“Good. Because there will be no more women.”

Selene’s voice was final.

“This is it. I won’t accept another girl becoming close to him.”

Her tone dropped.

“And I swear to the most unholy… if any woman starts growing close to him romantically, I will kill her before it happens.”

Her eyes were like blades.

“And if she’s stronger than you?” Elira asked, amused.

Selene didn’t flinch.

“She won’t.”

“And if she truly is then we’ll kill her together.”

She looked at both of them with grim resolve.

“Whether it’s soul death, assassination, or eternal freezing—we will destroy any woman who tempts my son.”

Because Noah was becoming greedy.

And Selene wouldn’t let him fall to temptation. She didn’t want her son to be like those horny guys.

She would discipline him—truly—for the first time in her life.

’How dare he love other women… besides me?’ Selene thought resentfully.

Yes that was the main reason actually.

Luminara muttered inside her head with a deadpan voice ’Crazy bitch.’
