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.

Filled with the bravado of youth, I ran away from home when I was ten after being disparaged and beaten badly by him. Since Zedfield was covered with tropical rainforests back then, I decided to hide within them to give

I finally gathered my courage and fought against them. As the battle increased in intensity, my strength continued to grow. In the end, I managed to tear them apart even though I was just ten years old. After that encounter, I grew to one point eight meters tall, and my entire body was covered in black scales. I possessed Herculean strength. From then on,

I could maintain the form of an ordinary human. I began participating in wars after that, defeating a ten-thousand-strong army that surrounded me once all on my own. On top of that, my ability to communicate with those of the netherworld continued to improve. Back then, I was already the country's most powerful general, General Wretched! When I returned to the village with soldiers and riches, I gave money to everyone there and remained filial to my father until his old age. My father forgave me and told me that he regretted his actions after I ran away from home. I, too, never held what
