Honest

With them paying the price, I was ready to head over to free this empire from its suffering. but since it was night, I waited until tomorrow. At the same time, Esdeath gathered her army and was heading back here. the note I left her told her I was going to join Night Raid to free the empire from its suffering. Although she could care less for the people suffering, she cared that I cared... 

So, the next morning quickly came and I met up with Esdeath. Esdeath upon seeing me blushed slightly, last night's hour-long battle was something she remembered. She tried her best to fight, pushing past her limits... which showed her willpower. That was her first time, and she was having sex with the sex god. yet she lasted a few hours. sure, I was going easy on her, but still, a normal human wouldn't even last a few thrusts.

"Are you going to kill him?" Esdeath asked lightly, trying to start small talk. This stunned the army that stood behind her. at the same time, Akame and the others who were watching this from afar were stunned, not expecting Esdeath to truly act in such a way before me.

"Naw... let's talk while we head over there," I said while holding out my hand, to which Esdeath shily took my hand, while we headed towards the castle.

"I was wondering, other than battle, and killing... do you have anything else you love?" I asked softly, making Esdeath think for a moment.

"well... I like torture." She said cutely. I nodded lightly in understanding. others might think this was a red flag, but they just didn't understand her. Esdeath likes to understand people and get to read them inside and out. that showed just how much she cared for people.

"I also like drawing." She said lightly, to which I nodded lightly.

"Well, how about we travel the universe and find other hobbies you might like... in fact, how about I turn that power of yours into your power? allowing it to evolve alongside you. Who knows, maybe one day you might be able to kill even me." I said with a laugh, to which Esdeath's eyes widened, not expecting that she could ever reach such a level of height.

"B-but what if I can't find other hobbies?" She asked softly, to which I rubbed her head.

"that wouldn't make me love you any less. I just want you to live, but just killing, torture, and so on... well, I find that means you have no idea what it means to be strong." I said softly, making Esdeath lower her head.

"There are those out there in the omniverse that think that with great power comes great responsibility. Some think having strength means protecting the weak... some think being the strongest is lonely as they have no equals. some are so powerful they ignore everyone, having no interest in playing with lower lifeforms." I said calmly.

"what do you think strength is?" She asked softly,

"The power to do what you want, whenever you want, and however you want. Strength is freedom. Strength is the power to know no one has control over your fate. Strength comes with the highest level of self-control, and a powerful willpower. Strength is knowing what you want. Strength is wisdom. Strength is peace. Strength is having an open mind" I said calmly

"Just having the power to do whatever you want isn't enough. but it's a list of everything, coming together... something you sadly lack. even after knowing you were outmatched by me, you came seeking a battle. why? deep down you refuse to be weak, that scares you. you let that fear control you, so you have no self-control. you don't know what you want, you lack wisdom, and you're not at peace... lastly, your mind isn't open." I said while Esdeath lowered her head,

"But thats okay. you're still growing. maybe you can find you're own meaning of strength seeing the endless numbers of worlds out there." I said to which Esdeath nodded lightly, her mind racing on what it meant to be strong...

We soon arrived at the castle, where we met with Honest. Honest was the Prime Minister of the Empire and its de-facto ruler, manipulating the young and naïve Emperor to do everything his way. He was the primary antagonist of the Akame ga Kill! series.

"Esdeath... I find it hard to believe that even you could have destroyed the tribe in such a short amount of time." Honest said while looking at me with a slight frown. Esdeath didn't say anything, as she stopped she watched me as I kept walking. Honest growing unease stepped backwards.

"What do you think about gaining immortality? I could give it to you, giving you the power to live forever." I said with a smile while holding out my palm, within it, the power of immortality gathered, causing Honest eyes to freeze as he glowed, looking at my palm. He completely ignored me, walking over towards me and taking my hand, causing that power to flow through him, making him immortal.

"What does it feel like to know you are undying?" I asked with a smile, while Honest laughed madly feeling just how he felt like he truly couldn't die.

"Well, let's put it to the test. how about you go to the beginning of time!" I said while grabbing Honest neck. Honest eyes widened in horror, but before he could say anything he was thrown back in time. instantly, all the guards moved to aim their attacks towards me, causing Esdeath to glare at them, scaring them. but I ignored them while looking towards the doors, where an old man who was skinny to the bone entered with shaking footsteps. 

"p-please, allow me to die." the old man shakingly neared me before falling to his knees, tears running down his eyes, while everyone's eyes widened, horrified at this sight.

"What? you seem to have not enjoyed that immortality. how about I send you back again?" I asked, Honest who had just lived billions of years was horrified. His mind didn't adapt to being immortal, and for some reason his memory was near perfect, allowing him to feel every second that pass. he wanted to stop me, he wanted to die, but all of a sudden he disappeared, appearing back in time once more. but the next moment, a skinny old man shakingly entered the room.

"Still not happy? how about this." I said seeing how slow the guy was walking towards me. with a flash, Honest appeared before me. Honest skin was hugging his bone. he had no muscles or flesh. he was just bones and skins.

"Your sins shall transform into an eternity. that means for every person you made suffer, it would equal an infinite amount of years you would suffer through every possible suffering in existence. This is a punishment for actually enraging me and pissing me off." I said with a smirk,

Honest world suddenly changed, he found himself in a desert. He was but naked, and the sun in the sky was burning hot. so hot that it was burning his very soul. His feet were burning, he wanted to run, but he was too weak. his feet were cooked. but no matter how much they were cooked, he couldn't die. his mind, soul, and body were immortal. what made things worse was that no matter how many years he tried to adapt to the sense of pain and suffering, it only made things worse.

He screamed in pain and was cooked for days, weeks, months, years, 10 years, 100 years, 1 million years, 1 billion years, 1 trillion years, until infinity was somehow reached. Honest mind wasn't broken, with his immortality, no matter how much suffering he went through, he wouldn't die. being broken mentally meant a part of him died.

the suffering didn't stop there, Honest found himself in a world of ice where he suffered for an infinite number of years. then he found himself within the void of space where he floated for an infinite amount of time. he struggled for air, feeling like at any moment the lack of air would kill him. but that was just an illusion that tortured him. 

then he found himself on a table where people tortured him, and the list of suffering he went through went on infinitely... but that was just the beginning after all infinite amount of suffering was gone through. that was just 1 of the thousands or even millions of sins he had committed. 

So, he suffered, and suffered, and suffered. death never looked so beautiful to him. that immortality was only a curse, making him live, increasing his suffering infinitely worse...

"I'm sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm sorry!" after finding himself back in reality, he fell to the ground, rolled up into a ball, and began to cry. everyone saw this scene, scared and horrified seeing the condition the host was in.

"God that felt nice," I said while scratching my body. when I was watching this anime, I wanted nothing more than to jump into this anime and beat this guy up. there were a few others in this anime I wanted to beat up.

but this wasn't the only anime that had someone I wanted to beat up. there was that one girl from the Tower of Gods, that other girl from The Shield Hero... that one dad from Fullmetal Alchemist, there were many people from One Piece I wanted to kill. I also hated Asta, that annoying bastard always annoyed me.

Wow, now that I think of it, I had a lot of people I wanted to step on. I will deal with it if we ever come across it.

"See... thats all you needed to say. I forgive you." I said while snapping my finger, causing Honest to return to how he was before I sent him back in time.

"go ahead and make everything right or else you can return to that hell till the end of time... this time infinitely worse," I said calmly, scaring Honest shitless. he quickly tried to stand up and ran to see the young emperor, 

"... what did he go through?" Esdeath asked in confusion

"he went through all possible suffering... he pissed off a god," I said calmly while walking off, leaving everyone standing there in fear. 

while leaving, I couldn't help but sigh softly knowing what I had to sacrifice for the sake of this world, to think I had sacrificed my body to those perverted girls who were eyeing me. I hated this, this feeling of having to go date someone... but a deal is a deal. what is done is done, and there was nothing else I could do about it.
