"Whoever takes a human life shall surely be put to death." - Leviticus 24:17
If he were a killer, then he would do it quickly, without hesitation or remorse. He would spare his faltering humanity the pain of reconciliation, casting aside any lingering doubt or compassion that might slow his resolve. He would be what was needed. He would be more than a bullet; he would be more than a simple blade. He would be a cleaver, the kind that leaves no room for mercy. Blunt and rusted from years of neglect, he would grind them to dust between his embittered jaws, savoring the visceral reality of their demise, flaying them between his fingers with an intimate brutality. He would do it quickly, decisively, every second mattered in the execution of his grim task. But it wouldn't be clean; there would be no elegance in his actions, only raw, primal fury. He would do to them what was earned, delivering a reckoning that they could not escape. He would make them pay for every transgression, every slight, every moment of suffering they inflicted upon others...
And when it was over, when the blood was all but let, staining the earth with their transgressions, he would survey the scene with a sense of grim satisfaction. When heads lay free from twitching bodies, lifeless and devoid of the spirit that once animated them, and none could raise a finger against him in defiance, he would revel in the silence that followed. He would devour their pieces, consuming the very essence of their existence, leaving barely a scrap for the wild dogs and crows to pick at, denying even the scavengers a taste of the remnants.
He would be their judgment, the final arbiter in a world that had long since abandoned justice.
He would be the hand of God. A force of nature unbound by the constraints of morality or mercy.
No longer Human.
