My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 2 ]

Chapter 171-175: Play (1-5)

"—So what I'm saying is that he got entangled with the White Devil and is now trapped inside her."

[What about the movements of the other Vessels around him?]

"Do I even need to say it? Everyone is rushing in with a fire in their eyes, trying to suck that amnesiac bastard dry."

Talker, a.k.a Spinning Fire Wheel, spat out such words to the Prophet, who was on the other side of the video call.

His next words were accompanied by a burst of laughter.

"The extent of the fierceness of their competition is absurd as well. It made me wonder what it would feel like if women of such caliber are fighting over me to monopolize me?"

[...What do you mean by that, Talker?]

At the slightly thorny voice that responded, Talker giggled inwardly before opening his mouth.

"Ah, of course, I understand that you are disappointed for not being able to join in this revelry, Boss. But, considering how he has a fake personality at the moment because of the artificial soul inside him, I'm sure such emotions are a bit—"

[Cut the nonsense. Did you call me just to say that?]

"I'm kidding, kidding. Don't get mad at me."

Strictly speaking, considering that he failed to fulfill the mission that the Prophet entrusted him, Talker's attitude was utterly shameless. However, neither the Prophet nor him seemed to be concerned about that.

In the first place, he was the strongest Cursed Speech User in history, a legend whose name was carved in both the Eastern and Western Continents' history. Neither party seemed to care much about going head-to-head to some extent.

In that regard...

"...Anyway Boss, that guy is a more dangerous variable than I thought."

The fact that someone like him uttered these words in such a serious manner meant the situation must be more severe than expected.

Although his frivolous smile was still hanging on his face, the glint of his eyes clearly conveyed the gloomy feelings that he had.

"I know that he acts as the 'Key' for all the Devils. But the speed at which the Devils are gathering around him is much faster than anticipated."

[...]

"Originally, the White Devil was supposed to imprison him around this time in 'a different worldline' as well, but this is the first time that he had formed such close relationships with other Vessels."

[...]

Talker continued to speak towards the silent Prophet.

"If this continues..."

At least, when uttering this sentence...

"The 'End' will come before we can do anything, you know?"

His usual smile vanished.

"There's not much time left, Boss. We need to take some measures before more Devils are unleashed."

[...I know.]

The Prophet responded in a low voice.

[I also know this is our last chance. That's why...]

Though low, the voice still carried an undeniable 'resolve'.

[...We should start considering a method to use it. The Key.]

A key generally had two functions.

Unlocking a lock and locking a lock.
