DESTINY GAMES-Chapter 244: Dangerous Knowledge.

Each robot is at the D-rank; this way, command can produce a lot of them with as little resources as possible. But he doesn’t think that D-rank is weak. After all, he was D-rank when the invasion started.

He expected that they would be used for more important things than chopping down trees. So he was astounded that Command would also ask the soldiers to join in chopping down trees. Not only that, there is a reward for each tree they chop down.

He said to Wrath, "Don’t you think this absurd?"

Wrath didn’t share his outlook on the matter. She shook her head and said, "This is war. Nothing is absurd. There has to be a reason why Command had prioritized eliminating the trees. Maybe they have found a hidden strategic use for them, or they want to eliminate them to prevent the elves from using them."

He said, "It had better not be the last one, or it would be useless because the trees are constantly growing. The one thing elves would always have at their disposal in this world is trees."

Wrath was quiet for a while. Then she said, "I have a theory."

Kelvin became curious. He said, "What is it?"

She shook her head. "I don’t think you should know. The more you know, the less safe it will be for you."

Kelvin’s curiosity only increased. He said, "Now I want to know."

She refused. "Trust me. There are some things that are too dangerous to know."

Kelvin didn’t know what to say about that. Actually, he knows what to say. He wants to say that he doesn’t trust Wrath and would like to know what she is hiding from him.

But he also knows that his distrust of her might lead him into danger if she tells him her theory and it turns out that she was right about the danger.

So he thought about it and said to himself, "Maybe I should start trying to trust her more. I should probably start from here."

But before he could tell her that she was right and that she should keep her theory to herself, someone else piped up beside him.

The person said, "Please, go ahead with your theory. I am curious to know what it is."

Kelvin’s eyes widened as he turned to face the person. He couldn’t see the person’s figure clearly. The only thing he could tell was that they were short and that they were as bright as a star.

There was only one person who fit that description that he knew about. What’s more, this person had been standing beside him for quite a while now. He had just been ignoring their existence all along.

Apparently, he could see the person all along. His mind just failed to register their presence. But now that the entity had given his mind the permission to see them, he suddenly remembered that they had been beside him all along.

Extraordinary Perception hadn’t failed him. The fault was his entirely. Or to be exact, the fault was partially his and mostly that of the true god.

Cold sweat broke out from his skin when he realized this.

It didn’t help when Aganju stared at him and asked, "What are you scared of?"

He could feel those bright eyes pierce through his body. Nothing could hide from them. So he decided to be honest.

He replied, "I’m scared that you would eat me."

Aganju continued to stare him down. There was no pressure, but he felt like kneeling and begging for mercy.

Wrath came to his rescue. She said, "Stop scaring him."

Aganju looked away. He shrugged and said, "I’m just having fun. There is nothing to do around here."

Wrath didn’t like his answer. She said, "That doesn’t mean you should have fun with him."

He turned to her, and his eyes became bright. He said in a cold voice, "It means anything. It means whatever I want it to mean."

Wrath snorted and looked away. But not before she expressed a piece of her mind. "I don’t like you."

Aganju chuckled. He said, "Me neither."

Then he said, "Be that as it may. The boy is not wrong. I could eat him. His fears are warranted."

He proved it by snapping up a soldier from the first division.

The soldier was passing by with a squad of other soldiers. Then a large mouth materialized around it and engulfed it. All that was left were broken pieces of flesh and the crunching sound of bones being crushed.

Aganju looked at him as he chewed that soldier. He looked small, but he was easily chewing a soldier that was far bigger than him. Kelvin’s knees became weak at the sight.

Aganju said to him after he was done, "Every true god is a predator. Every single one of them is a wild beast. They can be rational and cultured. Or they can be violent and volcanic. They can also be both. But they all take and take until there is nothing left to take. Do well to remember that."

Kelvin nodded earnestly. Not that he needed the reminder to avoid true gods. But he wasn’t going to say that he was already aware of the danger of true gods. He had already alluded to that fact when he said why he was scared of Aganju.

Aganju smacked his lips and said, "It is true that I could eat you. But you’re too small. If I am hungry and want to eat something, I won’t come after you. It is like a mortal searching for a grain of rice to eat when there is a fat cattle nearby."

That didn’t make him feel better. But Kelvin just nodded.

Wrath rolled her eyes and said, "Don’t let him scare you. He can’t do anything to you, or he would be punished severely. He is probably here to curry favor with you since you will be his boss in the future."

Aganju snarled at her. The sound he made pierced through Wrath’s shadowy figure and tore it to pieces.
