The Author's POV

Chapter 807

Rumble―! Rumble―!

As Ren rose from his seat, the world began to exhibit signs of collapse. His eyes alternated between crimson and dull gray as his black hair gradually turned white.

"You… what?"

Jezebeth, also stunned by the abrupt change, rose from his seat and stared at Ren with an expression of bewilderment.

"Why are you here? How is this…"

He fumbled over his words as he stared directly at Ren. None of it made sense to him at the moment.

He was certain from the moment he sat down with him that he wasn't conversing with the Ren he knew but rather with the other version of him. The inferior version of him.

He wasn't supposed to be here.

With Kevin gone, nothing prevented him from vanishing without a trace.

So…

So why was he still here?

"What have you done? Where is…"

It was unusual for Jezebeth to be this flustered, but the sudden situation made it difficult for him to articulate himself appropriately. His mind was flooded with various questions, making it difficult for him to complete a sentence.

"Aha…"

But he wasn't the demon race's leader for nothing. After a brief moment of fluster, he regained his composure, and his gaze grew extremely icy.

"Answer me this…"

He looked around him.

"…If you're the one that's here, does that mean that you've absorbed the other version of you? Does he still even exist?"

Jezebeth made sure to look directly at Ren when asking the question. He wanted to know the answer. No, he needed to know the answer.

There was something unsettling about the situation, and he didn't like the feeling.

"Does he still exist?"

Ren's mouth eventually opened, with a trace of a rare smile appearing on it.

"…You'll see soon enough."

That wasn't the answer Jezebeth wanted.
