Chapter 81

"Your attitude really isn't great."

Pennywise shook his head, unsure of what to say next.

Randy leaned back in his chair, a smile on his face, though the smile seemed insincere.

He spoke in a flippant tone: "Child abuser, tsk tsk tsk."

The Harbinger of Destruction turned to look, realizing something was amiss.

This guy seemed just like any other person, yet his confident demeanor and Pennywise's attitude suggested he might be another anomaly.

But what of it?

The Harbinger of Destruction was not afraid. He was the embodiment of malice gathered from villains, achieving immortality upon death. As long as those horrific videos continued to spread on the internet, he would be indestructible.

Each video, each tape, could awaken him.

He was a type of belief demon, the personification of brutality.

Even if he were captured and purified in a church, after accumulating enough belief, he could revive once more.

So, facing Pennywise, who was much stronger, the Harbinger of Destruction remained defiant.

Being addressed with such a dismissive tone by this "junior" was quite upsetting.

"You'd better call me the Harbinger of Destruction, or else…"

"The Harbinger of Destruction?"

Randy interrupted him, his smile widening, pointing at the child abuser and looking at Pennywise, asking, "Does he always talk so arrogantly?"

"He is indeed quite confident."

Pennywise shook his head with a dry smile, admitting that Randy was strong enough to easily kill the Harbinger of Destruction, but fully resolving the issue would still be troublesome.

Videos on the internet can't be fully deleted, and there are people who download and keep them privately.

The conversation between the two further angered the child abuser.

"It seems I've made America too peaceful, leaving you all clueless about proper respect."

His name echoed across Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, places where missing children were common and thus more conducive to his crimes.

It was rare for American child abusers to come, as competition was fierce here, with priests, celebrities, and others making it difficult for him to compete.

"Respect?"

Randy's smile vanished: "Respect is mutual. You come to my territory without any notice, and I've been generous and overlooked it. Yet, after I've generously offered you a child, you not only fail to say thank you but also blame me for your own mess?

Child abuser, you're truly old and senile."

He was forty when he committed suicide, and after over twenty years, he was approaching seventy and certainly at an age where senility was common.

Pennywise also revealed his fangs, clearly preparing to act.

"What's this? Do you want to challenge us?"

The child abuser immediately went on guard, his distorted face becoming even more twisted. His body began to change, with childlike ghostly faces trying to emerge from his skin.

"Want to oppose me? Be prepared for an eternity of unrest!"

"Just you?"

Randy sneered: "A twisted pervert who only dares to prey on children and only operates in the poorest and most backward countries?"

Pennywise felt uncomfortable hearing this, as if he too were being insulted.

Meanwhile, the child abuser's twisted skin had turned red and warm.

"Die!"

He roared, but his body was already retreating.

Although he didn't know Randy's methods, he knew Pennywise was formidable and clearly allied with that human. Staying and fighting would be like seeking death, so he decided to retreat to his own domain and find another opportunity for revenge.

"You will regret offending me!"

Just as he took a few steps, Pennywise quickly turned off the projector and removed the tape.

He knew the child abuser's weakness: without the image, he couldn't return to the video.

Pennywise smirked maliciously: "Wow wow wow, you no longer have an escape route."

"Damn it!"

Randy stood up and walked slowly towards the child abuser.

"Actually, you could have lived a bit longer, but unfortunately, I don't like your attitude, and I also dislike your style."

The child abuser threw a punch, but as soon as he got close, he was scorched by a layer of thunder, causing him to quickly withdraw his hand and become cautious.

"Do you think you can easily kill me? When I abandoned my body, I achieved immortality!"

"Immortal? That's just perfect!"

Randy smiled, and vines rapidly shot up from the ground, coiling around the child abuser like living tendrils. They dragged his head down until it was at a level where Randy had to look down to see his face.

The child abuser continued to taunt: "You don't understand. I have nearly a million followers. Malice will let me revive! You're from China, right? After I revive, I'll launch a series of 'Eastern Great Power' videos that will surely be more popular!"

Randy ignored his threats. Regardless of whether the videos would be deleted, they wouldn't make much difference.

"Now eat this."

Randy formed a seed in his palm and held it up to the child abuser's face.

The child abuser's face was just a manic grin, and his twisted mouth was too tight to easily insert the seed.

"It seems you like thrilling experiences."

Randy tossed the seed away, and it withered as soon as it hit the ground.

Then, the vines wrapped around the child abuser quickly grew thorns, easily piercing his flesh. After soaking in his blood, they began to devour and spread, rooting themselves.

At first, the child abuser could endure, but as his body was increasingly consumed, he eventually couldn't help but scream.

It was a matter of whether the effects came from within or were externally imposed, but the result was the same.

"What will happen to him?"

Pennywise asked curiously, noting that he also had a similar seed, but it was worn as a necklace.

"Your seeds are different, don't worry."

Randy saw through Pennywise's curiosity.

The child abuser was now lying on the ground, encased in a circle of thorns. His body had long merged with the plant, though he occasionally twitched to show he was still alive, looking particularly miserable.

The thorns, like veins, breathed, stripping the belief power from his body, soon blossoming into a flower at the top.

Randy reached out and picked it.

It was full of belief power.

Though not of high quality, it was filled with malice and needed to be refined before it could be grafted into a body.

The belief power inside the child abuser had been drained, but Randy did not take his life. Instead, he kept him barely alive, maintaining his most basic life signs.

So much for immortality and millions of followers. This was a stable, renewable source of belief.

"You came at just the right time."

Unfortunately, the child abuser could no longer respond.
