Chapter 56: Just Like That

"I can't… I can't lose anyone anymore."

"But you will…" No. 2's mask very slowly loosened and fell to the ground. And even with blood dripping from his lips, the smile on his face was even more evident, "...You will lose more people. You signed up for the suicide squad, Rhys. We… are just unlucky to meet a fucking god here. Ha... fuck."

"No… no. Arachnea!" Rhys turned to look at Arachnea, but Arachnea was just staring at him; her hand that held all the threads which were literally holding everyone's lives, slightly moving as if it was teasing all of their existence.

"Please, you want me… right? You want to eat me? Just let them go, please… please!" Rhys pleaded as he read Arachnea's desire, which was really only one thing - She wants to eat him.
