Perfect Avatar

Dora’s aura exploded. Elizabeth reactivated her shield and protected everyone from the chaos around them.Dora’s aura was spinning like a colossal tornado.

Strong yellow winds ravaged the top of the building and covered it completely.

The Holy Knights on the ground watched in fear as the energy cyclone destroyed the building and jumped toward the adjacent buildings.

They stood at the top of three of them and watched in amazement.

The scene they witnessed was unlike anything they’d been told about the awakening of a Sin.

It was a shared knowledge for the initiates that the awakening of an Avatar varied depending on the Sin.

Greed’s particularity was that he could split his souls into several beings, but this definition wasn’t accurate.

"Aah... What is... This?" A Holy knight whispered.

Ahead of them, as they got closer, the whirlwind took on a different shape than the energy winds.

Howls of pain and distress faces expressing eternal suffering made up the whirlwind.

Every soul stone, every skill took the form of a distressed soul and swirled around him.

"What is going on?!" Peters shouted to be heard.

"Personas..." Midgard frowned. "Millions of Personas... Created in seconds and assimilated... He transforms his skills into individuals and absorbs them."

"What?!... What is he doing?!" Elizabeth held her sword tightly.

Midgard frowned.

"He... merges everything he acquired... into a single being."

She turned around and grabbed Elizabeth and Candace’s arms.

"We have to run! None of you can face him now!"

They started and turned away.

"Voracity"

A red explosion sent the group flying. Peters and Midgard landed on their feet, while Candace crashed further away.

She got up with difficulty and looked behind her.

Peters and Midgard were in shock, and the Holy Knights were trembling further away.

"It’s... The Queen..."

Elizabeth dropped to one knee on the ground, she blinked a few times and looked at her hands as the red particles disappeared from her body.

In the whirlwind, Dora clenched his fists and the whirlwind began to resemble more of a volcanic eruption.

A jet of yellow energy rose about fifty meters and the building began to collapse.

"They’re going to be taken in, move, quickly!" Angel shot.

They jumped into this hell, but just as they entered the energy jet, the air cracked.

The space distorted and shattered like glass, and the next scene left them in shock.

The building was in normal condition, the air was completely normal.

White particles fell like snow, and right in the middle of the building, Dora stood in front of Elizabeth.

His body was completely cleansed of any drop of blood, his irises were yellow but did not glow.

He was barefoot and his facial expression was not the sinister smile from earlier, but a sad expression.

He raised his hand to Elizabeth’s forehead.

Everyone flinched, Candace rushed towards her but stopped when Midgard got in her way. freewebnoveℓ.com

A green and yellow light enveloped Elizabeth, who slowly got up, surprised to get her energy back.

"... Dora?"

The boy looked at her indifferently and then gave her a sad smile.

"I ate your power earlier, and you fought a lot today. This should fill you up."

"... Ah... You... Dora... is that you?"

She asked hesitantly, shaking slowly. She wanted to touch his face to confirm his identity but feared a terrible outcome.

Dora smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it’s me. I’m Dora, I’ve always been Dora, but not Anesi... But I’m still not completed."

He walked past the stunned Elizabeth and headed towards Midgard.

"You’re not going anywhere!"

All the Holy Knights jumped in front of him, protecting Midgard, Elizabeth from behind drew her sword.

Dora lowered his head, a smile on his lips.

"Aren’t you too mean? I just want to have a private conversation with the person closest to me."

"The closest thing you will come to is your grave which we will put you in if you take one more step." Peters placed the tip of his spear right under Dora’s nose.

The young boy smiled, put his finger on it, and pushed it away.

"Like you did with Glutonny? Please! Let’s stop playing like children. Speaking of playing..."

He snapped his finger and a System window appeared next to Midgard.

|Synchronization

|Player: -

|Avatar: 1

Midgard looked out the window and frowned.

Dora held out his hand with an impassive look.

"We’ve wasted enough time, now let’s stick to our contracts."

The Holy Knights took up a fighting position, everyone was ready to turn the place upside down.

Candace stood before Midgard, protecting her.

The snake woman opened her eyes slightly.

Despite the horror of this tragic scene, she couldn’t help but notice the gentle irony.

A thousand years ago, she experienced the same situation, but in the opposite direction.

She was surrounded to be killed. She was helpless and owed her salvation to a monstrous Avatar.

Today was a replica of that day, but this time the hunters were protecting her from the holy monster.

She bent down and looked, observing Candace’s back.

She was small, smaller than everyone there, and terribly weak. However, at that moment, she didn’t think twice before facing a monster.

Unconsciously, she stroked Candace’s head.

"Hey...? Stop, now’s not the time!"

"Hm? Ah, sorry... it’s nothing... nothing... yes, after all... without me, he’s still nothing."

She gently pushed Candace away and walked forward, passing through the Holy Knights and stopping right in front of Dora.

"You want to kill me? So please do it, I won’t even fight back."

"Midgard!" Elizabeth, stunned, screamed.

Dora frowned, Midgard was right in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes.

"What’s wrong? Isn’t this what you want? I’m here, this is your chance. Do it! Kill me."

"Hmm... It’s bold of you to assume that I need a chance to kill you... But... I have a bad feeling about what you’re doing..."

"Oh? Do you understand? You’re not as stupid as I thought, parasite."

She turned her back on him and faced everyone.

"Don’t worry, everyone, this will be easier than you expected. This thing won’t do anything. It may be stronger than you but it’s still weaker than a pure awakened Avatar. Your appetite, your greed, your desire, they overwhelm you, because you still need something."

She turned around and took his hand.

"You can’t kill me if I don’t synchronize our souls. If I die, you will lose your Player, and you know that what is above our heads is stronger than you. Gluttony is a monster, but she despises Sins, when she understands that Dora has lost, she will come and take your head."

She smiled sinisterly and brought Dora’s hand to her throat.

"Oh, by the way, Pride is the same, the human won, which means the two strongest Sins will be after you. Congratulations, I will be waiting for you, in that ocean you were talking about."

They looked at each other momentarily, Dora frowning and Midgard smiling.

The others were confused, wondering how they could handle the situation.

Was this the only way? Killing Midgard and letting Dora roam free until Gloria or Rhea hunt him down?

Dora grabbed Midgard’s throat gently and caressed it.

"Don’t underestimate the unpredictability of a reflex. I feel really tempted... but I have three emotions inside me right now."

"How ironic."

"The first is the desire to have all your soul stones, all of you... the second... tell me, what if I told you that you may have exaggerated when you said that Dora doesn’t exist more?"

Midgard froze for a moment and gritted her teeth, making Dora smile.

He noticed the change in everyone else’s faces and then caressed Midgard’s cheek.

"I am not lying, I know this body more than anyone, and I know I’m still feeling a void somewhere in me... but as a good Avatar, I can also feel that in you. Midgard, you really want to see Dora, don’t you? But which one? Sigma who treated you like his best friend? Beta who did everything to serve and please you? Gamma who despite his nature had respect for you? Alpha who wanted to stay with you forever? What if I told you that if the other me took over, you wouldn’t have to choose?"

"... Why don’t you just kill me? I’m not playing your game anymore."

"Effectively, because you’ve already lost. Midgard, I gained more wisdom after awakening... you don’t want to see us kill each other, do you? That speech at the inn, this will stay together... you want a future with Anesidora, don’t you? A future where you can be normal, where you can live together, not as a player and an Avatar, but as..."

"Quiet!"

She pushed him and backed away. Her breath became heavy and her face was filled with anger.

"Don’t speak as if you understood anything, you damned parasite! You are but an invader, a thief! You would have never been the one in control if they hadn’t forced... There is nothing of him in you, do not use this face to provoke me."

Dora tilted his head with a smile.

"See? This is the third feeling in my chest... the one that fills me the most in pleasure... This despair in your eyes, this sadness, anger, jealousy, frustration... this is so delectable to see you in this daylight.... before taking your soul... Hm... too bad, thinking about it, Hope would have been a good kill that day."

Elizabeth flinched and took an offensive stance.

Everyone got ready to attack, despite the power they knew he possessed.

It wasn’t that he was stronger than them, but they knew that as an Avatar, he possessed too many trump cards. The use of Voracity earlier was great proof.

He rubbed his nose and walked backward.

"Now, now that’s the tough situation... You won’t synchronize our souls? So I would lose everything by killing you?... what a tough situation, what should I do, Agharita?"

The Holy Knight frowned, her anguish growing profusely.

"Tell them, Agharita, tell them that she should definitely let me get what I want, for everyone’s interest."

They looked at her, a little confused.

"What does he mean?" Peters asked his comrade.

But the young woman, sweating profusely, was unable to talk.

Her gaze anyway did the speech for her.

"This is what I meant."

Dora pointed two fingers toward Midgard and light converged on them.

The Holy Knights pushed Midgard behind them, Elizabeth rushed to Dora, everything seemed to go in slow motion.

And then...

"You’re right, I won’t do anything... To You."

He turned back and shot a bullet of light covered in blue and purple magic particles.

The bullet passed through the city at high speed and the blue and red particles collided, exploding non-stop and growing in size.

Soon, they were the size of half a building, destroying anything in their path and continuing on their way.

A play of shadow and light decorated the city, like a sinister sunset, and soon, the light became normal again, as the explosive ball moved away from the city.

The group watched in fear and confusion at first, there was no time to think of the boy’s goal, but quickly, another aspect of the geography made them pale.

A blinding light covered the horizon, followed by a gigantic explosion and an earthquake,

The group watched in horror, finally understanding the action of Dora, as the reassuring beam of the Genesis disappeared.

The boy landed on the ground and looked at them with a terrifying smile.

"Now let’s see if you don’t want me to awaken."
