Chapter 353 The Real Mystery

Wretched explained, “Many powerful souls were unable to solve the mystery of oblivion and consequently died in that state. That was how all those dead fetuses came about.”

Intrigued by the answer, Jonathan asked, “In that case, how did you do it?”

“I basically did nothing because I know I can't be killed. Even without doing anything in oblivion, my physical body was gradually formed, and that was how I managed to break through the mystery of oblivion.”

All this while, Jonathan had wanted to find out about Wretched's genesis.

Since he didn't manage to get an answer from the king, he figured he could ask Wretched directly now that the latter was standing right in front of him.

Jonathan got straight to the point. “There's something I'm curious about.”

“Is it about my origins?”

Jonathan nodded. “Yes!”

“Do you intend to defeat me by finding out my weakness through it?”

Jonathan replied candidly, “I want to stop you from killing indiscriminately.”

After throwing Jonathan a glance, Wretched said, “I can't deny that you're one of the few truly good people I have ever met.” Pausing briefly, Wretched let out a self-deprecating laugh. “I'm the biggest villain the world has ever faced. It's ironic that I'm friends with someone who's as kind-hearted as you are.”

Jonathan flashed a wry smile. “Do you think I can stop you?”

“No. No one is capable of stopping me,” Wretched responded with certainty.

Since Zedfield was covered with tropical rainforests back then, I decided to hide within them to give my father a scare. Little did I expect to end up lost inside. The forest was filled with beasts and venomous insects. When I ended up being bitten by a snake, I was terrified, thinking that I would die. However, my body began to heat up, and that was the first

I grew used to how cruel the world was and the cycle of life and death. During this time, I lived like an immortal, not growing old or dying before gradually growing weary of the world of men. In the end, I took on the title of Wretched the Great, ruling with the fear and respect of my citizens. I participated in the war against demons and beasts and encountered many Divine Masters who attempted to kill me in the name of the people. Unfortunately, none of them survived my hand.
