Perfect Avatar-Chapter 290: A Sinner Doesn’t Seek For A Paradise

With everyone around her, Gloria ended her story. They all exchanged doubtful looks, as Freya had predicted, she had a whole world of surprises for them.

"So, that’s why you hate weaklings so much? Because they made your life hell?"

"This is the tip of the iceberg, girl. I don’t just hate the weak, I hate Pride, I hate your friends, I hate everyone. The only people that matter to me are my maids, and the people I love are my family."

Freya bit her lip.

"But if you care about your maids, why didn’t you try to stop Eryl?"

The queen raised her eyebrows.

"I stopped caring when she betrayed me. I gave her my world, she chose to die for the world I hate, that’s her problem."

"What? You...but you just..."

"Girl, your head is flying too far from the ground."

She stood up, patting the dust from her knees.

"Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a victim with a sad story, I’m not what you want me to be. I found out I was the strongest, so I built a world according to my likes. I’m not traumatized, I’m very good in my head, I hate the weak because they tend to forget their place in the food chain to the point of attacking the top predator, I hate Pride because she was hostile to my kindness, I hate people who are too happy, I hate people who complain too much, I hate those who have a subjective judgment, those who think with their desire, intelligent people, idiots, lazy people, hard workers, I hate anyone and my hatred varies throughout the day, and if there was a way to get Solaria out of this mess, the story would be different for you."

The steam completely stopped coming out of her body, signaling that she had finally gained her full power.

She looked at her hands and then turned towards the horizon where the rift was widening.

"I only believe in reality, and the reality is that I can do whatever I want. Even my death would be because I want to save my daughter. Now, let’s get this over with."

She stepped forward, leaving Freya on her knees.

The girl looked at the ground for a few seconds, perplexed. Everything was going as she wanted, but there was always something that bothered her.

"I’m glad it happened to Solaria."

Gloria stopped walking, the others looked at Freya for what seemed like the stupidest thing to say at that moment, yet the young woman kept a straight face.

"If it weren’t for that, I would believe you, but because of that, I know that even the most evil person can love someone enough to die for them."

Gloria stood still for a few seconds, looking at the cloud with disinterest.

"A monster that would kill a billion people, except her family, is still a monster."

"And so are the billion people who created this monster. Everyone is a monster, they just need to take off their masks."

"...You are a real enigma to me, too bad my time is up. Freya, huh? I have a favor to ask you, in case I die."

- Fenrir

Eva was sitting on the balcony, humming a song. The wind rose, bringing a delicate, cold wind, and a scent of finality.

"Hm? Finally there? It’s not like you to be that late."

She looked behind her and greeted Dora. He sighed lightly and looked at the mountains.

"You don’t ask someone to come alone if you’re not planning something, I was just thinking about that."

"Hm... You don’t trust me that much? I’ll never hurt you again, I can promise you that."

She stood up, clasping her hands and rubbing her knees.

"I called you because I want to share some information with just you, I’m so excited!"

"...Is it something like ’you fell into my trap’, then Rhea will jump me with friendship power and all the Players will dance around me after my death?"

"...Pfft...You’re always so funny...that’s not it, don’t worry. I checked the world again, and I realized something: all the players have disappeared from the world, we really did it!"

She jumped happily in front of Dora, the latter unable to share the same joy.

"...So? That mean there is no longer a threat? We can enter Ambrosia?"

Eva stopped her joy, running her finger through a strand of her hair.

"Well, even so, it would be pointless, we can’t defeat the invader."

"...Really? So what was the purpose of this whole operation? I know you’re planning something and I’m tired of playing your game. Tell me your real goal."

They looked into each other’s eyes in the darkness of the evening.

After a while, Eva closed her eyes with a smile.

"I told you everything, you should be able to put 2 and 2 together. Only you can defeat the invader, but only if you reach your maximum potential. Dora, you know your body more than anyone, what does it say about reaching your maximum?"

Dora looked up, his status screen materializing, revealing the information Eva was referring to.

"I have a feeling you know what it is, and that’s what troubles me the most. You’re Rhea’s ally, so why would you encourage her demise?

Eva opened her eyes, her dazzling pink eyes looking into Dora’s white ones.

"I only wish the best for everyone, and my last action would be to harm you both... but I also understand that this world is beyond repair and that we cannot postpone our fate any longer. We need a victory."

She stepped forward and took his hand.

"To understand the meaning of death in this world, you must understand the concept of the real Dora and the Infinity. Dora, we may have different goals, but we have the same ways. You want destruction, I need you to cause total destruction, from all Avatars..." She brought his hand to her throat "To all players."

She greeted the cold wind with a smile, a smile asking for one last heartbreak.

"All the players?"

"...Yes, every single one...of us."

"This is your last bet? You don’t have a better plan?"

"This situation can’t be solved by a plan, we need a miracle. It’s a bet, a bet against the world, a bet against you. We’ve wasted enough time, let’s end this story. "

Dora’s eyes were glowing, in his right hand, red particles were accumulating.

He felt his body temperature slowly drop, unlike his head which burned.

Eva closed her eyes and spread her arms.

"I’m counting on you, Rhea won’t intervene until you enter Ambrosia, at least I hope so, so don’t stay too long, okay?"

"...I don’t know why you do all this, and...I’ve met a lot of people who have given me enough reasons to erase them, but you’re the first to make me regret it. I can’t fulfill your wish, since I have my own goals, but the least I know is that my goal will benefit you, so rest in peace."

The particles converged into a small ball of energy made up of Wrath’s attacks and numerous amplifiers, a small bomb concentrated in Dora’s hands.

"Rest in peace? That would be too good for me, I am the biggest sinner in the world after all."

Eva opened her eyes, lit by the red light.

"I am the first Player and the last remaining, Eva, the sinner who committed the crime that plunged the world into this cataclysm."

The light engulfed Eva and illuminated the military base.
