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.

I was born into an ordinary family, but my mother spent three whole days giving birth to me. In the end, she died from the excruciating pain, and that was the reason why my father resented me and felt that I was a jinx. 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 my father a scare. Little did I

I was done for again, my body heated up as I grew scared, causing my cells to mutate in an ever more gruesome manner. Black scales began to grow on my skin. Despite the wolves trying to bite my head off, they failed to do so. The places where I had suffered injuries recovered rapidly. 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 realized I wasn't an ordinary person, as I could see souls floating all
