Chapter 6: The God of Justice
When Paul opened his eyes he was lying on the floor, in a place where everything in sight was white, that's right, absolutely everything was this color, it was like a void of infinite sight.
"this place..."
Paul stood up, he realized that for some strange reason he was naked and had a sense of familiarity with his body, he realized he was an adult once again, he quickly checked one of his feet.
'This is my old body, I have a small birth scar on my right foot, don't tell me this is a dream! Could it be that I was in a coma?' Paul thought over and over again, as he looked every which way.
"As I thought, you're a reincarnate, the ones I wanted to avoid over and over again, and to think I'd run into one like this, of my own free will!" a man's voice was heard.
Paul tried to look for the voice, but couldn't find it.
"Who are you, where are you?" said Paul cautiously.
"my name is Rhys Talfryn, I am the God of Justice and Punishment, a pleasure to meet you Paul" said Rhys Talfryn as a mist dissipated and his figure was revealed sitting on the floor waving to Paul.
Paul was shocked to see such a person or rather he was surprised that this person was a God, he was not a person who believed things without foundation, but he felt deep inside himself that the person in front of him was telling the truth. A God.
"What does a God want from me?" said Paul, still wary of the other person.
"Come on don't be too wary, you better sit down like me, I don't want to see a naked man" Rhys said with a smile.
Paul felt a little embarrassed and quickly sat down on the floor, waiting for the other person to say something, a few minutes passed and Rhys Talfryn just stood there with his eyes closed, until he opened his eyes and said:
"I will be straight with you and I will not be beating around the bush, I want you to be my direct disciple" Rhys said as he watched Paul's expression.
Of course Paul was surprised at her words – to be the disciple of a God? He could hardly accept that the other party was a God and this person was asking him to be his disciple? Wasn't this too convenient?
"Isn't this too convenient for me? Why on earth would a God, want to have me as a disciple and introduce himself?" Paul said slowly also watching Rhys Talfryn's expression in detail.
"If you would accept quickly, Out destroyed your soul and leave here, I know you are cautious but as I said before, I will be straight with you, one of the reason is because you are a reincarnate, that gives you more potential than a native of this world as reincarnates possess a more powerful soul than a normal person, the other reason is because I want you to do something for me, I know you understand more than anyone else that there is no free meal in life, being a person who went through great hunger, as well as founded a gourmet circle for rich people am I wrong?"
'How did you know… ha true, you are a God, but still what should I do' mused Paul leaving a few seconds of silence.
"And what do you want me to do, what is it?"
"My main goal is for you to kill another God" Rhys Talfryn said with a serious expression and continued saying regardless of Paul's surprise again.
"This person is the Chaos God Luthien Bellatrix is the one responsible that this world is falling apart fast, that's why I want you to be my Disciple, I'm sure with your attitude for magic and cultivation it won't take that many years for you to reach her level. But I can also read your soul and I know you wouldn't even consider my proposal."
"If you know I'll reject all that in the first place why are you telling me?" Paul said slowly, he was already being cautious with this God, and he wouldn't agree to something as risky as wanting to kill a God.
"Because this God is responsible for your death and the death of your friends in the first place and I also know that you will die soon if I didn't tell you this! Knowing this, will you accept me as your master? I know I didn't pick the wrong person" Luthien Bellatrix said.
*Buzz*
*At the inn*
*Whistling*
A sword glint lashed against Paul's head. Reacting quickly, he clasped his hands together and was able to stop the sword in time.
"You bastard you woke up, But it doesn't matter since you're going to die anyway" said the black clad person as he tried to pull his sword, but couldn't since it was held by Paul with both hands.
"Looking for death!"
Paul's eyes flashed with cold light – Clank! Before anyone could react, an electric bolt shot through the air and penetrated the black-clad assassin leaving a large burn on his chest.
Glarg!
The man gurgled for a moment before falling to the ground.
Paul sensed that there were more people around, but before going for the other assassins he noticed that the girl was awake frightened by the people in black.
"Don't worry, Everything is fine I won't let any of those people touch you!" said Paul trying to reassure the girl, and she nodded even though fear flooded her heart, she decided to trust this person who was risking his life to protect her, after all there was no one else she could trust.
On his way out Paul detected where the assassins were and determined that there were three in total apart from the one he had already killed.
Just as Paul was going after them, suddenly there came the three sounds of the assassins in the background of the dark night streets, Three identical figures with identical auras had appeared. It was impossible to distinguish them from each other, and all four had auras as vast as the ocean.
" child you really shouldn't have offended us!"
A sinister voice penetrated the darkness, drifting and indistinct. It was impossible to tell which of the three had spoken these words.
"Who are you?" said Paul trying to think where they came from and which person had sent such experts to kill him.
"Ask Yama for us since we have sent him many presents! You will be next!"
Another voice spoke, and then the four attacked in unison.
But although they attacked quickly, Paul reacted even more quickly. Paul's arms a formidable source energy manifested itself in the form of translucent blue rays, when a person arrived in front of him, he was already behind that person hitting a strong electric current.
The assassin rolled on the ground until he stopped and did not move anymore.
The other assassins were stunned for a brief moment until they unleashed their most powerful technique. The energy unleashed by the simultaneous attacks of the other two assassins was completely suffocating.
It manifested Into a ball of energy and shot towards Paul obliterating everything, upon seeing this powerful attack, Paul put his palms together and separated them creating a whip of electrical energy that enveloped the assassins' joint attack and destroyed it.
"The whip looked like a flexible column that destroyed everything, engulfing the two people, incinerating them until only the burns were left on the ground.
When all was clear Paul reflected on the events, if it wasn't for the God of Justice Rhys Talfryn would probably have been killed already, if he didn't even know how he died.
'Looks like my decision was not the wrong one' thought Paul checking his condition.

Paul couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his status, he broke the apprentice swordsman bottleneck and increased two mighty levels, one thing he had absolutely understood, is that each jump increased his stats by 5 times, two big jumps of a particular class like swordsman in this case, that's an incredible chasm.
'no wonder Rhys Talfryn said forget about this status of mine, the numbers get absurdly high with every change'.
As he was about to enter inside the inn, a man was running towards him frantically.
Paul saw this man and recognized him as a friend of Mr. Klick's who often visited the store.
But he didn't look well, he was very sweaty and his breathing was choked.
'He's not well' Paul had a bad feeling.
"Paul, at last I find you, you must get out of this town fast, Mr. and your aunt are in trouble and some assassins are coming for you, you must escape from here fast" Said the man while breathing between choppy breaths.
Boom!
This news left Paul in paralyzed.
