Death Also Bleeds
(One image representing the chapter is going to be posted in the comments by the Autor)
Allan looked at the woman with a look of doubt that did not go unnoticed by her …
"What else do you know about me besides me being the Black Death?" said the man as he stared the personification of death itself in the eyes…
Death snapped her fingers and, in her hand, appeared a book with some strange letters that the assassin cannot read.
"I know a lot boy … I know how you caused 9/11, I also know about the death of several dictators … and about your brother I know qu-"
"Enough, I believe in what you say... and what is this book?" Allan pointed to the book and tried to decipher what was written on the cover of it, but the man was unsuccessful as his head seemed to burn whenever he faced the object…
The white haired woman showed a slight smile on her lips and continued to speak.
"This book contains everything you've done in your miserable little life, Mr Addams … hmm and if you're wondering why you can't read the cover of the book it's pretty simple" the woman walked around the assassin as she spoke ….
"It's ?" the man maintained a firm, unyielding posture created by his long years of combat...
"Yes … this is your real name"
Allan looked at the woman strangely, but she approached his ear and whispered something…
"And if you read this … your head would explode *bommm* …. Hahaha" the woman laughed as she walked away from the man "And we don't want that… right Mr Addams? "
"How so and why would this happen "Addams tried to get any information that was offered to him … after all it wasn't every day that you have the chance to talk to death itself …
The woman now appeared on her throne and looked at the man with a face of superiority…
"Only I can read these books... and the original names carry unlimited power... if someone used the original name of for example... God... you could control him... that's the power of the original names" death spoke as it analyzed the amusing reactions of the old man…
"Hmmm…so god exists?" Allan asked out of curiosity but the face of death changed to anger…
"Haaaff … with you mortals it's all up to that crazy old man … god is a fool … and even he has the time of his death set like anyone else … Hehehe" the woman lightly rubbed her face while licking her lips at the thought of death of the divine being…
As for Allan as an analyst and assassin he can feel something strange in this "Is God going to die?", Addams threw the bait waiting for death to bite it, but the woman disappeared and reappeared in front of the old man again…
"Hmmm…don't you think you're being too greedy with your thirst for information… Mr. Addams?" the irony could be heard clearly in the woman's voice which didn't shake the assassin, as he just kept silent…
"…"
"haff…tsk … this is the last answer for you mortal … and then we're back to business"
The woman spoke and seemed to threaten Addams with just her voice, while the old man could feel his bones shake momentarily...
"HMPH … this is the story … I have always existed … and God is a being created from the sacrifice of an entire civilization … everything is destined to die until the universe … but in the face of entropy this civilization created a being that ate the universe whole and created the current universe … this is god … "
*CLAP*
The woman put her two hands together which made the sound echo in the empty place , this noise brought Addams back to reality as the man was very confused ...
"Now it's business time Mr Addams"
"Hmm… I'm good at that"
"Ah… I know that… after all it's thanks to your Quirk" Death spoke slowly while showing that she really was omniscient at least up to a certain point…
"Ahhh" the old man heaved a sigh as he placed a hand on his head "No one knew that nor … my brother"
The white-haired woman walked in front of the man and gave the old man a silly smile…
But I know.. e-very-thi-ng-" the woman spelled out the last part as she spoke in a comical voice "I know your Quirk allows you to make contracts with anything…. Even with inanimate objects … "
"hmmm" the old man turned his gaze to the floor of the place as the woman just smiled with the old man's reactions...
"Uncomfortable about something Mr Addams?"
"Yes … with everything … knowing that there is someone who knows everything about me is a bit … disconcerting …" the man this time stared at the woman with a frown and emotionless face … "But thanks …" said the man stretching his hand towards death …
The woman stared at Allan with a crooked smile and didn't bother to respond to the man's move "I'm not going to touch your hand … I know what you want … a contract I couldn't deny … it's very interesting this ability of yours … you even made a contract with your clothes for them to be indestructible "Death ended her speech with a little hate in her voice and in her eyes…
" … you know what … Death … Eyes "
"Eyes?"
With surprising speed and agility Allan Addams stuck his two thumbs in the eyes of death who fell to her knees on the ground while her hands were over her face … rivers of blood ran down the woman's face …
"Haaaa" Death screamed momentarily, but those screams turned into something different "Haaa … ha ha … hahahahahahaah" the woman laughed as she rose from the ground showing a face missing two eyes …
"Hmmm… after all, death also bleeds…" said the Black Death as he grabbed the woman by the hair and squeezed her neck with another hand…
The woman continued to laugh and with the last of her strength she pointed to the throne and there she was with a look of amusement, as the woman who was in Addams' hands evaporated into the air…
"As expected from the greatest killer in the human world... hahaha" gradually half of the beautiful woman's face was coming apart showing a skull, half of the beautiful woman's body was now a skeleton, with her skeletal finger, death pointed at the Old assassin "No more deadly pranks … the contract is this … I want you to kill something …"
Allan stared at the woman's half-skeletal face with a blank stare…
"What do I get from that?"
"I will spare your soul... and perhaps not erase your entire world... what do you think?" death flashed a chilling smile at the old man who looked away from that abomination...
"You… are very benevolent hó grand death" Allan spoke with venom and sarcasm in his voice…
"hahaha … you're interesting human … to specify I want you to kill the four heroes of the world I'm going to send you"
"As if I had a choice"
"I'm glad you understood your position my dear Black Death" stretching her skeletal hand in front of her a scythe appeared out of nowhere in the hand of death…
"Very stereotypical … a scythe" the old man spoke in a monotone tone as he faced the half woman …
"Whatever !" with this last sentence the woman swung her scythe and with that old Addams evaporated from the place…
Death lightly scratched her skull until she quickly rose from the throne of crystals…
"Oh hell… I forgot to strip him of his Quirk… that old thug made me rush to my judgment on purpose" said death in a worried tone but seconds later she sighed and looked at nothing "Haa… what can go wrong? "

? in ??? ????, Location: ????, ?????
Inside a chapel a ritual was taking place... one that would change the fate of the world, inside this chapel are three hundred magicians who evaporated together with a powerful light that illuminated the place.
When the power of light slowed down the mages disappeared, leaving behind only 5 figures carrying a weapon with them…
Addams opened his eyes and in front of him he could see a man dressed in white the clothing was similar to a monk, looking around the old man could see four young men and each one had a weapon in his hand… looking at his own hands the old man saw a hammer ornamented in gold … and also noticed that he still had his assassin clothes on
Addams rose from the ground and looked the monk in the eye…
"Where am I ?"
"Hamm…. You are in the great country of Melromarc" the monk spoke with respect in his voice as he showed a look of strangeness and when he noticed the weapon in the old man's hand…'Who knew we would have to sacrifice so many mages to bring the legendary hammer hero to our world ' thought the man as he analyzed the greatest Assassin that walked the earth…
The other heroes who had woken up just tried to process what was happening…
"What do you mean we are in Melromarc…?" a boy with blond hair asked the monk who replied…
"You were summoned to this world to save it from destruction…" the monk spoke as he looked at one of the young men who carried a shield with him, you could see a mixture of hatred and disgust in the monk's eyes…
Allan noticed this, but decided not to foreshadow... removing his mask Allan revealed his face....
"Ahmm … you are older than I thought … sir" the monk spoke with concern as the ritual should only summon young people and not … old …
"Hmmm…follow me please"
Looking at each other, they all followed the monk…
Allan walked through the halls of the place and could see that he was in a castle, and could also see that where he was was much less advanced than his previous world as he didn't see any evidence of electricity or anything that involves this...
After a few minutes walking through the halls of the place, the heroes arrived at the throne room where on the throne of the place was the king who looked at the heroes with a smile but when his gaze passed over the shield his lips moved very slightly…
Allan noticed this and can already notice something wrong with the shield…
"Welcome brave heroes … I thank you for agreeing to come to this world at this time of dire need" the king spoke as he highlighted his thick voice …
"Do we accept? …you must be kidding me" one of the heroes pointed to the king, the boy has blond hair and carries a spear with him…
"You have to understand that we don't have a choice... but before that could you tell me your name?"
"My name is Motoyasu Kitamura"
'He is Japanese? … what a headache it's going to give me', Allan thought as he looked at the king who kept a serene face
"Mine is Itsuki Kawasumi" the other young man standing next to the spear hero replied, this one had a bow in his hand…
"And I am Ren Amaki" said the other young man who carried a sword with him…
The king shifted his gaze to Addams and noticed his strange clothes compared to the other three heroes.
"And what would your name be?"
"My name is Allan Addams" said the old man as he stared at the king's happy face...
The shield hero lightly scratched his head when he heard the name 'Hmmm … that name is familiar to me … but I can't remember from where ' the boy thought for a few seconds but decided that it was not important … probably
"It is an honor to have the legendary hero of the hammer here" said the king full of pride "And with this we conclude the present-"
"And I?" a young man with a shield interrupted the king…
"Did you dare to interrupt the king?" one of the guards on the spot intervened … the king raised his hand for the guard to stay in his place … now with an annoyed face the king asked the question … "And what would be your name … hero of the shield?"
The boy filled his chest with pride and pointed to himself… "I am Naofumi Iwatani" said the boy with innocence in his eyes…
'Poor boy… you just got here and you already have enemies', Allan thought as he saw the kings disgusted reaction…
