40 Meeting

A conflicted expression was on the face of Jax neither Cupid nor Eien could tell what he was thinking right now. Internally Jax was having a hard time. He knew he was considered the Sin of Love since he was reborn. But to become the god of love once he becomes stronger?

That was something on a whole different level. But first, the first thing he thought about was that he himself was a Demon. It was as if Cupid read his thoughts since he spoke up, "if you worry about you being a demon that doesn't matter. Once demons reach this realm, they become a Demon God, and it was never stated that a demon god cant become a god of love." Cupid answered quite calmly.

Still, Jax didn't know what he wanted did he want to live his life calmly in the world of Nanatsu no Taizai? Did he want to find that one thing he always sought? Deep down he knew the answer. He wanted strength it was as if something inside his body craved for it.

Every time he thought back to being weak his body would scream out 'no more.' His whole being wanted to reach the strength. That the man before him possessed. No, he wanted to reach past that. The one that they call the creature that is what he desired. The strength where one doesn't have to listen to anyone.

"Cupid I accept being your successor" Cupid wanted to become happy and talk but the voice of Jax interrupted him once more, "but i don't want to be your successor forever.

One day I will reach the strength of the one they call the creator" Jax said while steeling his resolve. He had set a goal and would do anything to achieve that. A smirk formed onto the face of Cupid while he thought 'how long has it been since I felt this.

The feeling of excitement I have been indifferent for the past millions of years.' Cupid felt as if he was looking at his past self before getting injured. Back then he craved fort he same strength. 'He has something unfinished' Cupid thought before he talked to Jax. "You want to meet her once more don't you," Cupid asked.

The only thing Jax did to respond was a slight nod that indicated yes. The next instant a bright light that was tainted with a whole lot of black spots was in the hand of Cupid. "This is her soul she has long since passed on" he tossed the soul towards Jax who caught it. "Finish your unfinished business."

Cupid said while he rested his hand on his chin. Jax quietly looked at the soul in his hand before allowing it to come out. The next instant a middle-aged woman appeared in front of him. A pained voice entered into everyone present, "Hello Rose." The strong voice that normally came out of Jax's mouth seemed a lot weaker than usual. The woman that was called Rose looked around she had lived a life of regret.

And then she died eventually without having found love betrayed by all her lovers. But one man didn't betray her, Jax the only man she ever betrayed. And right now she heard his voice she looked around until her eyes landed onto the most handsome man she had ever seen. But she could feel it this was Jax, the same man that loved her. An evil smirk landed on her smile her plan to finally get a loyal man spinning in her head. All Cupid could think, 'i hope you survive this Jax.' But to Cupid's surprise, Jax seemed indifferent towards the woman in front of him.

"Rose I want to thank you for breaking my heart." This was something that no one would have expected to hear from the young man that was so hurt by this woman. They expected so much that he would scream at her, cry at her sight or even try to get her back. But instead, she got a thank you?

Even Rose herself couldn't understand why he would say this.

"Why," Rose asked.

"Its very simple Rose I will now tell you why" Jax began talking...

Far away in a realm that not even Cupid knew of existing an old man was looking down. "It was the right decision."

Note: Well well well Jax finally meets the woman who broke his heart into pieces. How will this turn out? Well that is for the next chapter. for now enjoy this chapter!
