Chapter 119: Power is everything!
Before he could say anything though, she said in a soft voice, "If the gods are really good.... why can't they make a world where everyone is equal? They're almighty, right? Why can't they insert good morals into the equal world and people's minds? They're almighty, aren't they?!"
The old man stuttered a bit before saying, "Maybe they just wanted to see who were really good from the heart and thus-"
"Don't you get it?! No one is born evil of heart! It's their conditions and the way they perceive them that makes them into evil or good!", the masked figure roared.
Then she sighed and said, "Our expectations for them to be good is in itself wrong! They have the power! They are strong! The gods can do anything, absolutely anything they want!"
The old man disagreed with her notion very strongly as he said, "Then that would make them demons, not gods! The persons in power have to make sure that they don't misuse their power and take care of the weak!"
The masked figure snickered and asked one single question that smacked him into silence, "Then what did you do to the commoners when you were in power? To the commoners, you are like a god, aren't you? Hadn't you reached a stage that was unattainable for them? Then why, just why, did you r*pe the beautiful women amongst the commoners, and charge them 'taxes' as you called them, which were so high that you were just basically stealing from them?!"
The old man was extremely shocked as he stared at the masked figure in front of him blankly. After a few seconds of silence, he managed to stutter out the words, "How- how do you know about all of that?!"
The masked figure grinned mockingly as she said, "You think I will revive a guy I know nothing about? I know more about your past then you yourself do."
"H- How?! I existed thousands of years ago, not days ago!", he was utterly confused at how she knew about his past. He did not know why, but it made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I have my methods.", she said while grinning menacingly.
He felt a headache coming up as he felt the intense urge to massage his temples.
He growled, "How do I trust you? For all I know, you may just be defaming the gods for some reason. Your not the most trustable person."
She responded to his question with a simple yet complex answer. "Power corrupts people. Gods are not almighty as you imagine. They're just people who are more powerful than you can imagine. Sometimes, when you have power, you may be doing things that you feel are good for the masses but in reality, are just messed up."
She continued after a momentary pause, "In my opinion, a person who is truly messed up and knows he is is much better than a hypocrite who thinks that he's good and tries to justify what he does. Power... it's the only thing that matters. People will flock over to you when you do have power and leave you when you don't. And trust me... not one single person will remain when you don't have your previous status and power."
Without giving him a chance to speak, she ran into the tunnel in which Harry was ready to examine his power levels and to decide if trying to kill him was better or to propose peace with him.
She just hoped that he wasn't one of those self-righteous morons who had a hero syndrome, wanting to save everyone and be the hero in every situation, or one of those naïve fools who thought that the world was flowers and happiness.
It would be good for her if he was a naïve fool, but it would be hard for her to kill him as she would see herself in him. A system user who was naïve and foolish… that was exactly who she was before.
She felt her eyes sting and throat burn when she thought about her past. She wanted revenge. Revenge against everyone who caused her condition to become so miserable. She wanted to kill them all, and torture each one of them slowly, so that they die a pitiful death after experiencing unbelievable pain.
She would take the Deriuys insects that she had found in one of the planets she had visited and stuff them into their mouths and make them gulp all of them.
Those insects will eat the internal organs of the victims, and then slowly gnaw away at their muscles and bones, before finally eating the skin of the victim, all while causing the victim indescribable pain.
Just imagining the scene made her grin till her mouth reach ear to ear and happiness bubble up in her heart. Ah... this was real pleasure... She could spend days and days thinking about torturing people, especially the ones she hated.
Author's note :
JUST REREAD FROM THE START! The story follows a different plotline this time and also has a different pace. SO JUST DO IT! [Shouts and growls madly like a beast]
Skip all this if you don't have time.

[Author sighs and says, "Editor - san, gimme some more ideas... what do I do?! I gotta increase the word count.
Editor puts his chin in his hand and enters deep thinking mode and says, "I have an idea, but isn't increasing the word count like this cheating the readers?"
Author sighs and says, "Of course not. I'll be writing the rewritten version too right? So they'll get double the content if they unlock this one chapter. The first one being the old version one and then the new one with cannibalism and all."
Editor smiles and says, "Well that's more fair I guess. So, maybe you can add a long lengthy authors note that you remove when you write the rewritten version?"
Author smiles guilty, "Yes... that's the only way. I'll definitely remove it afterwards and give them quality stuff... I mean I'm forced to do this now because I have boards, [a very important test in India ] , and have to prepare for it while preparing for the monthly exams they keep... so I'm not really free till June 10th."
Editor whistles, "Deym. That's a long time from now."
"I know, but I have these monthly tests to prepare for, and like boards are considered like a divine test in India. There are students who suicide upon failing them and all.", the author says while sighing.]
Please read the story from the start again. I'm rewriting it. I assure you it'll be good (pats chest). Like I'm including stuff like a secret group of assassins for Harry, and all. I'm also thinking of including a function like scope of personality that will give him powers to examine all his citizens and kill those who are not loyal [Grins evilly and scarily.]
Gimme your Power Stones, please! I'm not getting many good features, and it may help if I enter the top 200. The 199th novel has like 380 Power stones, so gimme 400!
Lol, it's not like I'm asking it for free. You'll get 4 chapters on Sunday if you gimme those 400 Power stones. [Pleading expression].
Join my discord server for a lot of cool stuff, okay? Like you get live chapter rewrite status, and I tend to talk about any new ground-breaking things about the story there, and, best of all, you can give me ideas for the story! Well, you can give it down in the comments too.
Anyway, take care all you readers. If you ever just need a shoulder to cry on about life, just dm me in discord. I'll definitely listen to you as soon as I'm online in discord.
I stress this again, please read the story from the start once more. You'll have many surprises. If you just like the old version, then go to google and search, I Will Conquer The World.
The last time I checked, a piracy website was letting people read my first 59 free chapters, which were of the old version.
All in all, to wrap things up nicely for this chapter, thank you to all my readers. I appreciate your support and love you show to my book. Even your hate helps me improve. I admit, this is not the best book. But, I am trying my best to at least make it into a memorable experience for all you readers. I sincerely hope you read the book from the start again, as there are lots of surprises waiting to be discovered. Yeah so just read from the start you know? I don't have any more methods to tempt you to start the book again.
I've also started using a grammar app, and so the overall quality should improve, like small typos and grammar errors. It's been a lovely experience writing, and I want it to be a lovely experience for you readers to read my book.
