Chapter 3
I'm back! Welcome everybody to chapter 3 of 'Path of the New God'. In this one, we will see the first Angel of Pain. First? Let me explain 2 things.
There were way too many votes. PMs and Reviews. This is important for the next point.
Thanks to Creus for a great idea that I will use. To have two angels. Not lovers or pairings, Angels. Let me explain, I will choose the pairing, but the two main followers of Pain are chosed.
And now, we can begin.
Legend:
"Talking."
'Thinking...'
Chapter 3: A True Angel
'After all, a God needs disciples...'
The words of All for One rounded Pain's head. He is a god. He is powerful and have a goal to save the world. But he has no one that believes in him.
He became a villain in the eyes of the public. They at least used his name, thanks to Eraserhead knowing it.
This will only make it harder. People will follow like sheep to the heroes. People that they look up...
"HELP!"
Pain looked down the rooftop he was sat, and he saw the presence of 4 people. From the scream, he can guess one is in trouble.
The Petra Path opened a portal where he got in and got into the scene. "What is going on."
The three assaulters stopped and turned to see his purple-ringed eyes shining in the dark. The same eyes that one of the guys attacking USJ had...
They stood up and tried to leave only for the Animal Path throw some dogs at them and killed them.
Pain walked to the victim. A woman with blue hair, orange eyes with tears on them and her clothes half broken. She seemed older than him, but not for much.
She looked at him and flinched under his stern look and gulped "Are you fine? Did they managed to do anything?" She shook her head and Pain nodded "Good."
Pain walked towards the end of the alley before she stopped him "Wait!" Pain looked at her over his shoulder "I thought you were a villain." She said and Pain turned around and walked to her.
This was it. She messed up and now this guy will kill her. She closed her eyes, just to feel something wrap around her shoulders. She opened her eyes and saw that what she had on now, was Pain's black cloak, leaving him shirtless.
He offered his hand to her that she took, watching those eyes that irradiated power. "Come with me, and I will show you who I am." he said and she found herself nodding. "Do you have a name that I can call you?"
"Konan. My name is Konan." Konan said and Pain nodded as they walked together into the portal created by the Petra Path.
The paths offered her a seat and a cup of tea that she nodded and thanked them as they ignored her.
Pain, with another cloak sat in front of her a cup of tea for himself "Why you helped me?" Konan asked as Pain took a sip of tea.
"Why not?" Pain asked back.
"Because you are a villain?" She said unsure and Pain gave her a stern look.
"No, I am not. But neither I am a hero."
"Then... what are you?"
"I am... a god." Konan blinked at his answer. She... wasn't expecting that answer. She can tell he has a powerful quirk. But to believe he is a god. It is kind of ridiculous.
"I can tell you don't believe me." Pain said "But it is okay. You will have time to know me." He said stepping up. "One of my paths will show you your room."
"My room?" Konan asked "Are you saying I will stay here?"
Pain nodded and said nothing. "But what about my home!?"
"What home? The one that they kicked you out?" Pain asked saying that the conversation was over.
In what did she just got into?
*Line Break*
Maybe she developed Stockholm Syndrome. She was kidnapped by a guy with a god complex that doesn't allow her to leave his lair or temple or whatever he considers where they are.
But he pays attention to her. He honestly seems to care for her, be interested in her conversations or origami and even tried to make some with her help.
She found it funny. A god asking help to mere mortal to make a figure out of paper.
A god...
A god that listens.
A god that takes care of you.
A god that helps.
And that doesn't ask for anything back...
She shook her head. This guy is a villain doesn't matter how you look at it. She just has to wait and the heroes will save her.
*Line Break*
"How are you today, Konan?" Pain asked her as they had breakfast, being served by the paths.
Konan nodded as she ate her bread "Quite well. Thank you." The bed that Pain gave her was probably, the best bed she ever slept. Pain is really taking his way to make her feel comfortable.
And this brings her to the next question.
"Pain, what is your objective? What is your reason to be like this?" Konan asked. Pain answered most of her questions. About him, his power, and even about anything that she wondered.
Pain closed his eyes as a small smile formed on his face "I want to save this world from itself. Erase the plagues known as heroes and villains. To create a new world from the ashes of the old one and me as it's god."
"And I wish for your help, Konan."
Konan eyes widened "My help? But I-"
"Konan; when I first saved you, I did out of good will. But then I wanted to show you who I am. To see if I am worth of being followed. Now I am for sure I am worth of being a god. And I want for you to be at my side. As my angel. A symbol of peace and prosperity. My right hand when I need you and when I don't."
"Konan, save the world with me."
Tears came to Konan's eyes as she nodded. She was accepted. She was going to make a change. She was going to be an angel for a new and better world.
"Yes, Pain-Sama."
And done! That was chapter 3 of 'Path of the New God'. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks again for all the review you guys send me, it helps a lot more than you think, and see how many of you got invested in this story just like me, it keeps me motivated to write. So yeah, Momo will join as an angel (Unless you guys really don't want two angels), but her reasons will be different from Konan's. Konan will join out of admiration and kind of obsession, while Momo will go other path. And that's all! Remember to leave a Review, like said before it helps my motivation, PM me for any doubts or suggestions, Follow and Favorite me and the story.
Till Next Time.
