Villain Retirement Chapter 278: Heaven and Hell

Chapter 278: Heaven and h.e.l.l

Chaos, once again.

Riley seems to be finding himself in it a lot the past couple of days. It was almost similar to the atmosphere of the studio where Hera brought him. There were people running around, people screaming, and people staring at him.

Everything was almost the same– except for the fact that some of the people running around had their hands drowned with blood. The people that were screaming were panicking, yes; but they were not screaming at each other, but rather screaming for themselves.

And the people that were staring at him… instead of looks of awe and curiosity, they had fear. And the cameras were replaced by guns and rifles that were similar to the ones they had back in the Super Max Prison.

The room, however… didn't really have anything in it. Just tables which the people were seemingly previously idling at. There were also gloves and coats that had blood on them, either resting at the table or hanging somewhere on the walls.

There were also about a dozen people that were standing in front, no doubt supers that worked for the government.

"E… Empress, why are you doing this!?" One of the supers shouted; his skin, emitting some sort of black smoke almost similar to Nightwalker's shadows.

"I guess we're on the right path," Empress, however, completely ignored the man as she looked at Riley,

"Anyway, this place… it doesn't seem to be that large?" She then said as her eyes scanned the room– which was large by itself, but definitely not large enough for all the people that were currently running around the hall. Even the room that monitored Megawoman's health was small.

[It makes sense.]

And the one to answer her question, was Whiteking.

[If they wanted to be subtle and not be discovered by anyone, they couldn't really go fancy on the construction.]

"...But why would they even put it in a place like this?"

[Because Darkday never returns to the scene of the crime.]

"Empress! You can still–"

"Shut it," Empress smashed her fist in the air, causing it to crack and let out a thunder that was enough to cause everyone that was previously panicking and running away to freeze on their spot,

"Where is Megawoman?" Empress scoffed, "Tell us, and I can still give you a painless death…

…If not, then you will be in his mercy," she then said as she pointed at Riley.

All the people then turned their attention towards the ghost-like individual that was quietly standing beside Empress.

"Isn't that… Whiteking's son?" One of the supers reacted.

"I thought Darkday was–"

And immediately, it clicked in everyone's minds. It was reported to them that Darkday and Empress were together– and Riley Ross was previously suspected as Darkday; so with him here now… wouldn't that mean–

"Whiteking's son really was Darkday!?"

"Don't even bother calling for people outside," Empress stepped forward, causing all the guards and the supers to flinch. As for the people behind them that one could only a.s.sume to be doctors, they all started to hide,

"We've blocked all your communications. Now tell me, where is Megawo–"

And before Empress could finish her words, the guards all fired their rifles; letting out the specialized bullets that seemed to disintegrate anything that dared to block its path. But sadly for the said bullets, however, they all stopped before they could even reach their target– frozen in the air almost as if they were lined up.

"..." Empress only stared at these floating red bullets, before turning and glancing at Riley.

"These bullets might kill you, Empress," Riley smiled.

Empress, on the other hand, just stretched her hand towards one of the floating bullets… and immediately crushed it.

"You seem to be underestimating me a lot, Riley."

"No," Riley shook his head, "I just a.s.sume everyone is weaker than me."

And with those words, the bullets that were previously floating in the air all started flying around the room– going through all the guards like a tornado and filling the floor with their ashes. As for the supers, they were met with Empress's fists.

It was a slaughter.

Empress did not back out on her words– they truly were killing each and every person in the facility. Leaving only those who seemed interesting enough to have answers, and one such individual was a male doctor that was currently in front of them.

He seemed to be important enough that he had almost a dozen guards protecting him just earlier; those guards, however, were now nothing but blood and guts.

And so, once again, Empress uttered the words she had been asking since earlier,

"Where is Megawom–"

"There! In that room!"

And before she could even finish her words, the man immediately pointed towards… a mirror.

"..." Empress and Riley then looked at each other, before Empress grabbed the man by the neck, dragging him towards the mirror he pointed to.

"Another secret entrance?" Empress rolled her eyes, "Why does the government always insist on something like this? Open it."

Empress then lightly threw the man in front of the mirror, causing him to lightly yelp. She was about to warn him not to do anything, but the man quickly opened the concealed door for them, sliding in his ID on what Empress a.s.sumed to only be a crack on the wall.

And as soon as he did so, a loud click resounded from the mirror; smoke, immediately fuming out of its sides as it slowly swung open. The smoke was cold; almost like what would feel when opening a freezer.

"You go in," Empress then said.

"Y… yes," and immediately the man entered– with Empress and Riley following a few moments later. And as soon as they entered, their eyes were bombarded by a sort of brightness. This brightness, however, was immediately negated by the sight that welcomed them.

The room was clean– a contrast to the room they were in before. There was not even a spot of dirt on the floor or on the walls; one would think it was heaven.

There were, however, multiple aquariums. But instead of fish, they were filled with organs– some even throbbing on their own.

Heaven and h.e.l.l-- perhaps was the best description that Empress could think of as she saw this scenery– and they were wrong.

The facility was not small at all.

This was the size of a football field– a white and bright football field adorned with a museum of Megawoman's organs.

"..." Empress's eyebrows began to tremble as she started to walk across this forest of appendages. The man that was leading them, could not even utter a word as he took several glances at her and Riley.

"What… is this place?" Empress then asked; half knowing the answer, and the other half, not wanting to know the rest.

"..." The man, however, did not answer but only continued to walk; until finally, they reached another door. Empress did not even need to tell him what to do as he once again opened the door.

There was a certain smell that permeated through their noses; a strong smell that was enough for Empress to cover her nose and mouth.

"This…" And finally, the man answered Empress's question,

"...is humanity's greatest sin."
