Criminal X : Epitome Of Evil

Pablo was in the bed.

Cupid was staring at him.

Pablo's eyes were closed, the room was filled with silence until he broke it himself:

"What were you telling the Gods about me?"

"Oh. They were just wondering about your intenti—wait what? How did you know I was talking about you with the Gods?"

"I sensed your gaze on me a few times and people, no, stupid people like you, usually look at the person whom they are talking about. And the Gods are the only ones you could be talking to."

Cupid sighed. "Your mind will explode one day if you think that much."

She didn't say anything about the stupid people part as she kind of agreed with that.

"Just tell me if they are going to answer or not. I don't have all day."

"They are. In five minutes. Rest till then. Let your mind be silent for a while."

"Sure."

Silence stayed in the room again and after five minutes, Pablo heard a paper rustling sound and sat up straight.

His eyes went to the diary and indeed, a new page was there.

And on the top of the page, with bold letters, it was written:

[THE CONTENTS WILL BE ERASED AFTER TEN MINUTES]

'That's good enough for me.'

Pablo began reading the whole page and as he had asked for, the Gods had sent everything.

The name of all the Ten Gods and their titles in a neat and clean order.

— Altor is the first God. He is the head of the Gods. He has black hair. He is the strongest. He is the God of Gods, the God of Death and the God of Darkness.

— Rameses is the second God. He is in number two of the leadership. Just below Altor. He has red hair. He always stays angry and he is called the fiery God and the God of Fire. He is not very fond of you.

— Demeter is the third God. He is the God of Nature. He has green hair. He is the one who supports you and was very happy when you used the Special Skill that he gave you–The Freak Of Nature.

— Chrysus is the fourth God. He is the God of Thunder. He has yellow hair. He is strong. He neither likes you nor hates you.

— Alfida. Which is me. I am the one who is telling you about all the Gods. I am the fifth God and the only Goddess among the ten Gods. I have white long hair. I command all the Angels as it was me who created them. I like you because you are teaching my Child, Cupid, to speak her mind.

— Anemoi. He was the sixth God. He was the God of Wind or Air. He was bald. He vanished fifty years ago when people stopped praying to him. The only reason the air in Seraphim is breathable is because of Demeter. His nature's power is helping the creatures to live otherwise, everything would have been over.

— Mazu. He was the seventh God. The God of Water. He had blue hair. And again, if not for Demeter's power, no one would be able to drink water. Everyone will die of thirst. People stopped worshipping Mazu so he disappeared a hundred years ago.

— Himeros. He was the eighth God. The God of Lust. He had pink hair. And he vanished one hundred and fifty years ago. He was responsible for controlling the lust of Humans but after he disappeared, you already know what is happening. Rapes, rapes and rapes.

— Euphor. The ninth God. He was the God of Joy. He had bright orange hair. He vanished two hundred years ago. After that, the joy vanished from Seraphim as even after getting everything, people weren't happy. They became greedy.

— Themisfit. The Tenth and final God. He was the God of Righteousness. He had black and white hair equally. He was responsible for handing punishments to the wrong doers. He was the first one to disappear as when people go twisted, the first thing they let go of is their righteousness. He vanished five hundred years ago and after that, Seraphim was never the same.

Pablo read the details of all the ten Gods and moved below to read some more information.

— You asked why the people stopped praying to us Gods. The answer is simple. Their wishes weren't fulfilled. They requested us Gods to fulfill their wishes but we couldn't do it because those wishes would have harmed the other innocent people. The criminals were asking for jailbreak. The poor were asking for money without any hard work, and the rich were asking for more money by exploiting poor people and nature. If we accepted their requests, the whole world would have suffered. Nevertheless, the people didn't understand this and one by one, they stopped believing in us altogether and we got forgotten.

— Now, you asked if no one believes in Gods anymore, then why us five–Altor, Rameses, Demeter, Chrysus and me–are still alive. It's because there still are some people who pray to us. But they are near death's door and if they die, we will all vanish in a few years too. Only God Altor will remain as he is the God of Death and as you know, death never ends.

[You got all the Answers you wanted. Feel free to ask more and if you asked these questions to help us, then we are glad. But if you have something sinister in mind… don't forget you are still a Human. Also, try not to die out there on your mission.]

Pablo reached near the end of the page and as the heading said, just after ten minutes, the page burned out of existence.

But Pablo had already memorized everything written on the paper so its disappearance wouldn't be a problem.

Therefore, after that, he finally stood up from the bed and held his receiver.

He dialed a number and brought the Receiver to his ear.

"Yes, Pablo. What do you want?" The other side spoke.

Pablo smiled. He had called the King and he won't waste time anymore to come to the main thing.

"I want your help in creating some Gods. You in?"
