Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Slowly, the news was spreading to the entire City. Everyone quickly found out that they had lost their immortality.

But stupidly enough, the humans didn't try to preserve the life they had left. No. Instead of hiding themselves from any harm, they went outside and started to riot.

They burned buildings, sieged government offices, and stole from businesses wherever they wanted.

Their current mentality was to let loose all their hidden desires. If they were going to die anyway, then they decided that they were going to die with a flare. They were going to do whatever they wanted. They were going to get that necklace they've always wanted, they're going to kill that pesky neighbor they've had all their life, or they're going to satisfy their desires to get their hands bloodied.

Everyone went into a chaos.

Seeing this sight, Ninth and the others couldn't help but fall to their knees. They couldn't believe how in just a matter of a few days, everything had collapsed in their society. Everything turned even more lawless than the Unclaimed Lands.

"We have to get to the HeadQuarters. They'll know what to do," said Ninth.

Atlan nodded.

Just then, Ninth and the others spotted a few Saviors in their battle suit uniform trying to assuage the citizens from creating more chaos than they've already caused.

"Please, stand down. Everything will be fine," said one of the Student-level Vanguard Saviors.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN?!?!?! Everything has gone to shit! And now, you ask us to calm down?!" said the angry citizen with a pitchfork.

"Please. I don't know what's going on, but I know that HeadQuarters will soon fix this mess. Trust me," said the newbie Savior.

"Haa….I'm getting tired of you, boy! You don't know anything. Get out now, or we will force our way inside and burn everything down!" rallied the angry citizens, which was cheered by the mob behind him.

"I….I can't do that," said the Savior, his voice faltering.

Seeing this, the angry citizen thought he saw an opportunity to slip by. He quickly pushed himself towards the newbie Savior and tried to storm through the building.

But just as he was about to slip by the Savior, the ordinary citizen suddenly felt something in his chest.

And when he looked down, he a blade pierced right through his heart. He couldn't even utter anything as he vomited blood. He soon fell to the floor, dead on the spot. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

The rest of the angry mob couldn't believe what just happened. A Savior, the supposed protector of the City, had just killed a citizen in cold blood. They were named Saviors because they were supposed to save the citizens of a territory. But now, one of them had just killed a citizen.

This should have scared the other citizens, thought the newbie Saviors. He thought that if he killed the angry man, then the rest of the angry mob would soon follow his words.

Then, after everything had been calm, he would bring the angry man into the HeadQuarters so that they could revive him.

This Savior, naively, still thought that they were all still immortal and that everything could be fixed by the HeadQuarters.

However, it seemed that the angry mob was a little bit smarter than him. They knew that death was permanent. And now, a Savior had committed murder right in front of their very eyes.

This only seemed to consolidate in their minds that the HeadQuarters was a corrupt governmental body that needed to be destroyed. After all, if they were any good, they would have prevented this from happening in the first place.

"You bastard!"

"You'll pay for this, you scum!"

"Kill him!"

The angry mob began to surround the newbie Savior, overwhelming him with their numbers. Then, they soon used their pitchforks and their kitchen knives to fill him with cuts and pierces, leaving him to die right next to the man he murdered.

"RAHHH!! Let's burn this place down!" said the angry mob.

Ninth and the others could only watch as they witnessed similar events all around the City. Even if they tried to stop the chaos, they would only end up making it worse. After all, these citizens were no longer with a sound mind. They were angry, and they needed to vent out that anger. No amount of talking would solve this problem.

Meanwhile, Atlan looked at the dead bodies lying around in the City as an aftermath of all the chaos and destruction happening.

He watched as blobs of light left their bodies and slowly floated towards him.

Atlan opened his hands and let the blobs of light land on his palm. Once they made contact with his skin, Atlan began to absorb the souls of all the dead in his vicinity.

He felt power coursing through his veins, slowly filling the infinite hunger he had for souls.

If he needed to fully transcend into godhood and fight the other gods, he needed more souls. A lot of them.

"Is this what humanity has fallen to?" the Enchanted Queen muttered to herself as she floated next to Atlan. "It's even worse than in our world."

"It's horrible. Both humans and Canzers are so obsessed with killing. Why can't we all coexist?" Tulip commented.

Now that they became Atlan's tamed dragons, they could freely visit the human world as plushies. They thought it would be a nice little vacation, but this horrible sight was not relaxing at all.

They continued to run through the streets of Genesis City, slowly making their way to the center where the HeadQuarters was located.

And as they continued going deeper and deeper, the more chaos filled the streets.

People were throwing down furniture, TVs, and even themselves off the buildings, making it a hazard just for anyone that wanted to cross the street.

Finally, they saw the HeadQuarters just a mile ahead of them. And on the steps leading up to the very building, they saw piles and piles of angry citizens shouting at their doors. They were all trying to get inside, even if it meant they had to tear down the very walls of the building.
