Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 1097: This Is Who You Are

Jason didn’t really know how to approach a situation like this. This little boy was basically just a normal child with the mind of a child! Telling a little boy that he was killing billions every day would likely make him confused, and there was a chance he would lash out in anger. Jason didn’t want that right now, so Jason put that information at the back of his mind, and Jason decided he would bring it up later. Instead, Jason asked the boy about the people who tricked him before.

"You said there were some bad people who tricked you into a trap, right? Do you remember what happened back then?"

Jason had a feeling that the people the boy was talking about were the ones that carried out the Celestial Hunt all those years ago. The boy’s face soured once he heard about the people who tricked him, and he huffed and looked away in annoyance as he spoke.

’I thought they wanted to play with me, but they led me to a cage and locked me in there! Those liars are the worst!! I’ll find them one day and punish them~ I was just minding my own business, and they attacked me for no reason~’

A surge of annoyance travelled through Jason’s body when he saw the innocent expression on the Celestial’s face! The boy really believed that he had been attacked for no reason, and Jason wondered if the boy would still think that those people were wrong if the boy knew how much damage he had done to the Primordial Expanse over the past few years.

After that conversation, Jason continued with his plans to understand more about the Celestial of Death. But even after having multiple conversations with the little boy, the Level of Understanding was still below 50%, and Jason couldn’t activate the skill yet. By the fourth day, the boy was asking Jason more questions about his family and friends, and Jason humored the boy by answering most of the questions. The boy was really curious about Jason’s mother, Mira, and he kept asking Jason if he could meet her, but Jason told him no.

The boy was confused.

’Why not~?’

"Because you’ll kill her."

That one sentence had completely altered the boy’s mood, and he stared at Jason with a shocked expression! What did Jason mean by that!? Of course he wouldn’t kill her?

’I’ve never killed anybody in my life.’

Jason’s face had grown darker when he heard the boy say this, and Jason felt that annoyance from earlier coming back in full force. Agiel had already woken up at this point, and she finally decided to speak up after she saw the annoyed expression on Jason’s face.

"Do you really not know what you are?"

The boy looked from Jason to Agiel with confusion painted on his face, and he asked them what they were talking about. Agiel turned to Jason with a silent question. Could they tell the boy what he really was, or should they hide it till the end? For a moment, Jason thought about hiding this information from the boy, but Jason’s level of understanding had still not increased at all in the past day, and Jason knew that the reason the level of understanding wasn’t increasing was because the boy was also confused. If the person you are trying to understand doesn’t understand himself, then was it even possible to truly understand them!?

Once Jason had this revelation, Jason nodded to Agiel, and they both decided to tell the boy everything!

That day, Jason gave the boy such a complete description of what he was, how his presence affected the world, and how people out in the real world viewed him that the boy had gone into a sudden shock! The boy stared at Jason with his wide eyes for multiple long minutes without moving a muscle!

The look of shock on the boy’s face was almost terrifying in its intensity, and for a moment Jason wondered if the boy would lash out at him. When the boy finally spoke, his tone was filled with complete disbelief.

’You’re lying. That’s a lie~’

Agiel shook her head.

"No, it’s not. You’re the Celestial of Death. Your very presence in a world causes the death of billions of people. In just these few days since you escaped your prison, more than five hundred worlds have been completely eradicated. This cloud forming from your hair is actually your Celestial Mana spreading out all around you. Why do you think no one that enters your cloud can remain alive? Your magic kills anyone that comes close."

The boy grit his teeth and turned from Jason to Agiel to try and see if they were telling the truth, and when the boy saw the serious expression on their faces, he realised that they weren’t lying! A feeling of shock passed through the boy’s body, and Jason watched as the boy simply turned away and began to float into the distance.

For a few long hours, he had floated around without bothering to say anything to Jason or Agiel! The boy was slowly processing everything that he had heard just now. This was the first time since he became a celestial he would be able to speak to someone else, so for him, learning about his true nature was a complete shock!

Jason and Agiel gave the boy all the time he needed to process all of this, and it wasn’t until the next day that the boy finally came and spoke to Jason in a serious voice.

’I still want to find my parents~’

Jason had been in the middle of a conversation with Agiel at this time, and he looked up from where he was sitting with his back against a dark tree. Jason and Agiel hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in close to four days now, and Jason could tell that Agiel was slowly getting weaker with each passing day. They had to get out of here soon.

When Jason looked at the boy, he saw the serious look on the boy’s face, and Jason narrowed his eyes at him as he felt a surge of irritation fill his body.

"Is that the best decision you could come up with after everything we told you?"

The boy frowned and turned away for a moment before he shrugged.

’I don’t know~ I don’t want to kill anybody, but I’m not doing it on purpose. I just want to find my parents~’

What a fool. Jason didn’t know what exactly he had been hoping for when he told this boy about what was really happening, but Jason honestly didn’t think that the boy would simply try to continue what he had been doing. Jason could tell from the boy’s earlier reaction that he now understood how much damage he was doing to the world by travelling across the Primordial Expanse! The fact that the boy was still willing to continue causing damage just to find his parents was foolish!

Jason was about to give the boy a piece of his mind, but Agiel noticed Jason’s anger, and she quickly stepped in and spoke to the boy in a low voice.

"What world are you from?"

The boy tilted his head and told her that his world was named Riara at the edge of the first domain, close to the Zeroth domain. The moment Agiel heard that name, she closed her eyes with a tired sigh. Agiel remembered that world! It was a world that was once filled with multiple PRIMORDIAL-level mortals like Jason, and they were hailed as one of the most powerful worlds after the Avarans, but the entire world had been destroyed by the Celestial of Death a long time ago.
