Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 886: Strong enough to choose [1/2]

Although Bella just mentioned that we were about to found by two fighter jets strangely Jo erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha, relax Bella. Sometimes you go stupid when you panic. We are only at 200 meters off the ground. And Aki’s [Translucent] hides us in plain sight. Su-27s are air superiority fighters, it’s just a routine fly-by."

"I would have to agree with Jo, Bella. Su-27s do have some multi-role capability but attacking us at this height is next to impossible. it would be like trying to swat a fly while hopping on one foot in a cluttered kitchen. They should have sent a Su-30 instead," Aki added.

While I had some idea, I opted to keep my mouth shut. If what Aki’ said was true, then there was no danger from the fighters themselves. A more pressing matter would be what would the humans do if they did see us.

’Come to think of it. Aren’t we a UFO?’

Unidentified Flying Object. This was the acronym the government used to call things they could not explain. While Hollywood normally depicted them as circular saucers, I began to wonder if the supposed aliens were just in fact Reapers.

Considering that to normal people perhaps even Reapers, our actions made no sense. We driving on an invisible bridge made with soul. It was practically a mini Bifrost, the Rainbow bridge from Norse mythology.

My point being that even if the pilots did see us, would anyone even believe them? How many times did humans think they saw something, only for it to be something different? The most famous being the mermaids. Which were just manatees topped with seaweed.

"Strewth, is this even a problem? Their humans. Just kill them and get over with it. We can just blame it in the demonic cunts. I’ll do it if you are all scared," Robyn interjected.

Right, that option was also present. Humans were literally beneath us. Like dogs were to people. Hardly anything the humans could do would affect us. And as the entire continent was undergoing an upheaval it was easy to fabricate an excuse.

"No! These people have families! Stop being a psychopath, Robyn! Trinity will hunt you if you do. Picking fight with humans is the fastest way to force the Reapers to kill you. Why do you think Reapers going berserk is not the norm?"

"Do I look like I give a crap about any of that? They are diggers. They are paid to take on cunts who make a fuss. It’s natural for them to die to stronger cunts as well."

"Thats not the only problem! Trinity and the demons are embedded among the humans. The more you show yourself to humanity the easier it is they demons will find you! And this fucking shit hole is worse as the Successor is here!"

"Haha! We can kill them all though! With Darling and us, even the entire human army of Ethiopia and Somalia would not be enough! And we still have Alphy and Juno!"

"Jo, please stop. Robyn, calm down. You need to manage your stamina. You will overdraft at this rate. Bella, while I see your point. But, trying to cater to humans would only slow us down. Our top priority is Shujin’s mission and to leave as soon as possible."

"I know that, but still…" Bella murmured in low spirits.

Unknowingly the girls brought up quite an interested topic. Power had a way of corrupting people. For Reapers who had a shit ton of problems, the urge to relieve your worries by using the humans was a real temptation.

While Phantoms might have been weak with regards to the truly powerful, to humans they were already similar to gods. I then remembered the rogue Carlos mentioned that created two folk stories in Columbia.

Funnily enough, even humans do that to each other. It was why gang wars were quite common in poverty-stricken areas. Bella who grew up in such environments naturally felt more compassionate towards them. Unlike Robyn who only grew up in war.

"Everyone please calm down," I mitigated as everyone started to get heated.

As I did, I sent positive emotions such as trust, affection and support to the girls with me. Trying to mitigate issues such as this was part of the responsibility of the head of a family. Humans were complex. Thus, it was necessary to have common ground.

Trying to force them to do something they didn’t want to do was possible. But while it worked in the short term. It was not a good long-term strategy. It was bound to breed resentment and eventually division.

"Bella, the pilots will not die, I give you my word."

"Okay. Thank you, Honey."

"But Possum!"

"Robyn, I will not cater to them either. We will be going after Antarctica next month. I do not wish to go to war with Trinity. At least not at the moment. Also, if we kill a Reaper’s humans it would also not end well," I explained.

"Shujin, such naiveté is ill advised. Our enemies will notice if we are merciful to humans and will use them to cause us harm. I agree with Robyn, sparing them has no benefit to us."

"I know that Kamisan, really, I do. But the reason we want to get stronger is exactly this. By being stronger, we are not forced to run or fight. By having power, we also gain freedom. The freedom to choose and decide."

"HEHE! Wow Darling! That’s really smart! So rather than follow the norm, you aim for power to live free huh? I never really thought about it that way."

"Yes. We kill the humans ultimately because we fear having to be found by the demons and the Successor. We spare them because do not wish to fight Trinity and the Africans. Everything comes down to not being strong enough."

As my harem and I discussed, the ones in the back also began to chat among themselves.

"These people are bloody insane Choco, is being devoid of morals a requirement to be in Hellsend? What’s worse, I know they are not joking in the least!"

"Just ignore them Juno. My brain is already spent trying to understand how they think. Want some chocolate?"

Pierre who seemed to have awakened at some point was listening to us silently. I didn’t mind so I just acted as if he wasn’t there.

"We are strong enough. Strong enough to choose. We do not have to kill the humans, nor do we have to coddle them. We do not have to take such hard stances as neither is the universally better option. Will you all trust me on this?" I asked while keeping my eyes on the road.

"I understand, Honey." "I feel this is a mistake, but sure Possum." "I follow you, Anata."

Not hearing my Italian, I faced towards her. She had a mischievous smile on her face.

"What about you, Jo?"

"Hehe, I was just thinking Darling. And I completely agree with you. Maybe this was why none of us even thought about carving our own path. The power the rest of us desired was just to survive. You are the only one who wants to go further."

"Well, I am quite greedy," I replied.

"Nu-uh. It’s not about being greedy, Darling. It’s more of the mentality to lead or to follow. The mentality of a king. We, the Sirens and I may be smart. But we do not have it in us to shoulder all that responsibility."
