CHAPTER 44

"Void Resurrect," Andrew uttered coldly.

'You will feel pain and despair for eternity, Jacob…'

The Void started to surround Jacob. It covered his entire body, and a small greyish light appeared at the center of Jacob's head.

"AHHHHH!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from Jacob's dead body.

Sounds of bones breaking could be heard. The mist surrounding Jacob started to move like a man getting up from the ground.

The screams started to die down as the mist stood like a person.

Messages came onto his screen.

[Void Resurrect Successful.]

[Jacob Everson has successfully resurrected as a Void Berserker.]

[Jacob Everson will have his consciousness and will obey all your orders.]

[Void Berserker: A being who grows in power as he comes closer to destruction.]

'I did not expect this… To think my wish for him to feel pain for eternity will create a different being altogether…'

Jacob, who was now standing in front of Andrew, did not understand what was going on. But there was a single notion on his mind: to show his undying loyalty and follow everything Andrew… no, his King tells him to. He kneeled in front of his king. His mind also had hate, but it was washed out quickly.

"Your Command, My Lord…" uttered Jacob.

Looking at the screen, Andrew turned to see that the mist had disappeared, and Jacob was kneeling in front of him.

Andrew's emotions were in turmoil as he saw Jacob again.

His body was covered in a mist of Void even now, but it did not hinder him from looking at him.

The mist was emitting from his sides and was waving continuously.

"Get up…"

Jacob quickly got up but did not see Andrew's face as he bowed his head in respect for his King.

"What do you feel?" asked Andrew.

"I feel… I feel you have given me another life, and I will always be loyal to you... I will forever follow you and show you my undying loyalty by getting rid of your enemies and doing whatever you ask me to…"

Andrew's brows furrowed, and he asked, "You don't want revenge? You don't want to kill me?"

Jacob paled as he kneeled again and said, "My Lord, Please do not ever think this loyal soldier will want revenge. You have liberated me from my shackles and taken me as your soldier; for that, I will die again and again for eternity to serve you…"

'Die again and again? What does that mean?'

He looked into the Abilities Screen.

The Void Resurrect Ability appeared.

[Void Resurrect: Resurrect a being killed to do your bidding. If a Resurrected being is destroyed, it can be brought back by expending 25% of Mana. You can store the resurrected Being in your Void World. Command: Return. Call: Come Forth. Mana Cost: 75%.]

'So, this was what he meant about dying again and again.'

"Return…"

The mist surrounding Jacob intensified, and he disappeared, and the mist lodged itself into his shadow.

"Should I bring Revon back? No… let him stay dead…"

Andrew left the room. He returned to the living room ground floor and placed a file. The file contained information about Jacob's involvement in shady missions and detail of conspiracy in Andrew's case. He also included a few findings that he had found before being put in prison.

'First step is done…'

Before leaving the mansion, Andrew started the fire alarm and disappeared using Greater Blink.

He soon reached the Quinjet and got in. He changed the coordinates to Barton's home, and the Quinjet took off.

He removed his mask and his gadgets and placed them in his inventory.

'Only 35 minutes have passed…' He saw the time and realized the mission was over quicker than he thought. He also now knew about Void Resurrect.

He let Natasha and Laura know he has finished and was returning.

Natasha texted him that she would meet him tomorrow to discuss the mission. She added in the message that she would text the location of their meeting.

The news tomorrow will talk about him, and the notion that he might be innocent will begin to spread.

"Come Forth…"

A mist came out of his shadow and kneeled in front of him.

"My Lord…" Jacob appeared as the mist dissipated into him.

"Tell me… tell me everything that happened that day…"

SHIELD Headquarters

"Two more down then," Barton said, relaxing.

"Yes, I have to find a location where we can have our meeting…" Natasha replied, who was opposite him.

She had a tablet in her hand and searched for a safe house close to Barton's house. Barton's home is safe, but they decide against going there. They did not want the family to be in jeopardy. They are not sure whom to trust, and every Quinjet here can be tracked independently.

Before leaving home, they removed the GPS Software of the Quinjet that Andrew was using. There will not be a problem as no one can locate it now.

Barton and Natasha turned to the door as it opened, revealing Maria Hill.

She entered the room and closed it.

"I have a safe house that you can use for meeting with Andrew tomorrow…" Maria said and showed the location.

"Yeah, this should be fine…"

Natasha replied as she saw the location.

"Did the fire department reach Jacob's house?" Barton asked.

Maria did not reply and showed live footage of what was going on.

"Half hour back, the fire alarm of Mr. Jacob Everson's house alerted the Fire Department. They quickly acted and sent Fire Trucks as this area is an influential area with many Hollywood Actors and CEOs of different companies live. When they arrived, they did not find any case of fire, but a few bodies were lying outside near a broken wall. The Fire Department quickly notified the Police, who were already on the way. They found 28 bodies, with four dead and the rest unconscious. One of the bodies they found was identified as Revon Trump, a military officer who was said to be under the team of Andrew, the Murderer and traitor to the Country and even Jacob Everson, who is missing from his house, is also a part of Andrew's team. Is Andrew the one who is the cause of this? Stay tuned for more information…"

The live telecast quickly changed to another reporter, "Sir, what happened? Is Mr. Jacob Everson safe?"

"Investigation has started, and we can't say anything for now. Mr. Jacob Everson is missing, and we have put out an APB to find him… If anyone sees this man, please notify the police quickly," The Police officer said as he showed the image of Jacob.

Barton asked, "Didn't Andrew say he did it?"

Natasha was also skeptical about this, "He did… I am not sure what is going on. I will ask him tomorrow…"

Maria interrupted, "See…"

The camera zoomed in on a document two police officers were talking about. They were looking through the document, and the camera captured this… Maria began recording the images.

There were images of the General and a doctor taking drugs from dead bodies.

Natasha realized what these images were. She saw the photos that Andrew showed. But one person was missing from this; she knew Andrew had done this deliberately.

'He cut out Damon…'

The officer turned the page, and now words could be seen with another image attached. It was there for a few seconds, but it was enough as many in the world would have seen this. The pages turned, showing details and images.

[General and Doctor, collecting the Drug Samples from the deceased body. Date: July 4th, 2009.]

[Organization Code Name: BlackHeart Creation and starting the Drug Operation.]

[Trich joining the organization BlackHeart. Date: August 7th, 2009.]

Then came a page with Andrew's image of him collecting information in a facility.

[Andrew has found out about Drug Trafficking. Date: February 27th, 2010.]

[Planning The Captain's End. Date: March 3th, 2010.]

When the page turned, there was nothing but a blank sheet.

"Did you know about this?" Maria turned to Barton and Natasha.

She did not need to know as their faces told her they did not expect this.

"I know Andrew was going to leave a file. The file contains Dates, Information, and Images that he got from Zavez, but I did not expect it to be broadcasted to the world… I believe even Andrew would not have expected this…"

Barton chuckled, "The Cameraman who took this… he is going to have a field day."
