Demon God

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry."

The voices resounded out in this place as they all apologized to Desire all at the same time.

Of course, when Desire heard it, he...became confused once more.

After all, they finally stopped, and now they became noisy once more.

However, if there was something different in this situation, that would be that...Desire wasn't getting mad or angry.

Right, he wasn't feeling the rage that he had felt earlier.

Well, the voices were apologizing now. It was only natural that Desire would feel soothed that the voices even tried to apologize to him.

Although the best apology one could give is changed behavior, which in this case the voices would have to stop speaking, it was actually still fine.

Right, it was still fine.

"Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry." The voices resounded out in Desire's ears.

The way they apologized really sounded like they are sincerely apologizing to Desire.

No, it even felt like they did something grave and they were regretting that.

What was even weirder in this situation was that...Desire was the cause why they were apologizing.

After all, the change in their word and behavior changed when Desire told them to shut up literally.

It was only reasonable to connect the two happenings together.

And the fact that this happened made Desire think.

'Can I somehow talk to them...'

Right, Desire thought that maybe he could talk to the voices.

After all, what they did back then was basically communication.

And since he could, Desire decided to give it a try.

After all, he didn't know what to do in this situation, and the only thing that appeared in this place was the voices.

Well, they haven't exactly appeared in this place as they just resounded out in this place.

Anyway, this was what Desire said in an attempt to talk to the voices.

"Who are you?" Desire said with a calm voice, but with sharp eyes.

It seems that he learned to make sure that he wouldn't drop his guard ever again in situations like these.

Anyway, what Desire said was just a simple question about the voices' identity.

As the voices' owners weren't really here, Desire wanted to find out about them first.

Of course, when Desire said those words, the voices immediately stopped saying sorry.

It seems that they really could hear and talk to Desire, and it also seems like they were willing to talk to Desire.

And it was because of the voices immediately stopping that silence ruled over the atmosphere.

However, it didn't take long for the voices...for the first voice to speak out once more.

"Don't know."

That was what the first voice said, and as if they were ducks following the mother, the other voices also spoke.

"Don't know. Don't know. Don't know. Don't know. Don't know."

The voices overlapped with each other so much that it seems like they were just echoes of the first voice.

However, Desire could still identify them correctly due to his sensitive senses right now.

Anyways, when Desire heard what the voices wanted to say, he immediately thought of something to talk to them.

'They don't know...hmmmm...' Desire thought as he tried to think up a question.

Desire wanted to ask the voices as many questions as possible since they were willing to talk.

Although Desire didn't know whether to trust the voices or not, it was still better than nothing.

After all, Desire...was really desperate to get out of this place and just meet up with Gaud.

Better yet, Desire...wanted to wake up from this long-ass dream.

That was why Desire was getting desperate now, as to even go to extreme lengths such as asking strange voices.

Anyways, it didn't take Desire long to think up a question, and it was this that he asked.

"Then, where is this place?" Desire asked the voices as he tried to look beyond the darkness.

He tried to look for the owners of the voices as he whipped his eyes here and there.

And while he was doing that, the voices stopped saying the words 'Don't know.' 

Of course, it didn't take long for the first voice to speak once more, and this is what the voice said.

"Don't know."

And the usual overlapping of voices happened as the other voices spoke once more.

"Don't know. Don't know. Don't know. Don't know. Don't know."

Of course, Desire was able to hear all that and that was why he had his face turned into a frown right now.

Why? It was because what the voices just said was...ridiculous.

'They don't know? Again?'

Right, it was just ridiculous for the voices to be here and not know where this place was.

Well, Desire was also in this place, and yet, he also didn't know where this place.

However, Desire...somehow could tell that the voices were here for a long time now.

After all, they weren't panicking nor were they asking for help.

They were just literally voices saying whatever they wanted as they spoke to Desire.

That was why it was weird for them to not know anything about this place.

Well, it's not like Desire would persistently ask about that part and whine about it.

After all, Desire and the voices were not friends or something like that.

They were strangers, and Desire was just trying to get information out of them.

That was why Desire spoke once more as he formed a question.

And this question was...about the first word that the voices spoke when Desire came here.

And that was...

"Walk...what does it mean?"

Although Desire knows that walk means walking with his legs, it may not mean shit to this place.

Of course, now that they were able to communicate, it means that they talked in the same language.

However, Desire just had to make sure about this one.

After all, this was the first word that the voices spoke, and it means something.

It means that...the voices truly meant to say and wanted Desire to 'walk.'

Well, he still didn't know specifically what it means, and that was why he wanted to find out.

Anyway, when the voices 'heard' what Desire just said, they immediately stopped talking.

However, this time, not the usual silence resounded out in this place, but instead...the first voice immediately spoke as if the voice was waiting for Desire to ask this question.

Right, the first voice spoke fast, and what it said was...

"Walk."

And it was the usual 'walk.'

Of course, now that the first voice spoke, the other voices jumped in like crazy beast as they spoke as well.

"Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk."

And this was weird. After all, the voices didn't say anything that could possibly explain why they were saying this word.

What's more, that was all they were saying.

And this fact left Desire dazed and confused as he began to think.

'Do I just have to walk?'

Desire knew that he couldn't trust anything that just suddenly speaks and walks to him.

Of course, that was just common sense. However, this situation...this was a situation that calls for action.

That was why...Desire just decided to wing it and walk.

Right, since this was what the voices wanted him to do so bad that this was literally all they were saying, Desire just had to do it.

After all, it's not like Desire knows anything about this place at all that he could just ignore them.

And it was because of this fact that Desire realized something.

He realized something about whenever he was in a situation like this, there was always something Desire would do.

And that was...

'I always get pushed around...'

Right, Desire was always getting pushed around in weird situations like these.

There would always be something that would make Desire do something.

There would always be some form of someone pushing him around in these situations.

And this time...it was the same case. The voices were pushing Desire around by telling him to walk.

And there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, it's not like Desire was strong or something like that.

He now knew that he was a Quarter God, yes, but...he didn't know what his powers were or any advantages that could make him escape this situation alive.

Hell, Desire couldn't even break out of the shackles that were tied to his hands.

Even with his mana, there was nothing he could do.

And this fact...Desire didn't like it.

He didn't like how he was always being pushed around ever since his birth.

He didn't like how he was always forced to do something ever since his birth.

Of course, there were times Desire was able to do whatever he wanted, but...that was just because other strong people were with him.

In other words, it was still another form of being pushed around.

After all, he was only able to do that because someone else 'allowed' it.

Desire...absolutely, definitely, one-hundred percent hated that fact.

That was why Desire walked. He walked with heavy feelings, and he didn't let the voices get to his eardrums.

His blue...no, his orange eyes started to glow as the shades of rage once more reigned within his emotions.

However, Desire was keeping it still with the help of the Heavenly Demon Trait.

'Just you wait...I'll fucking make you pay...' Desire thought with rage as he remembered the times when he was being pushed around.

Desire then bit his lips so hard that he immediately started bleeding.

'I won't allow this anymore...'

And it was in this way that Desire walked in this strange place with rage.
