805 Chapter 805: Paige vs. Riley...?
"...Maybe you should cancel your dad's illusions."
"Why? It is an effective counter against the Dianas you summoned, Paige."
"...Why?"
Paige's lips started to twitch as Bernard started making moves on Diana; some of it, not something that should be shown to the universe, or to anyone, for that matter.
"I don't think Diana and Bernard would appreciate it too much if… we continue this," Paige could really only scratch her head, "I'll remove mine if you remove yours."
"Agreed," Riley nodded. And as soon as he did so, Paige instantly canceled her illusions — all of it, even the glade and lake that surrounded them. And now, with even the Bernards gone, the battlefield was back to its original, shattered state.
"How are you feeling, Riley?" Paige then asked as the two of them very slowly descended back to the deepest parts of the crater, "How long can you use my abilities without your mind slowly being corrupted by it?"
"I was thinking of just letting it corrupt me, Paige," Riley shrugged as he summoned a small star above his head. Before it could do any damage to Paige, however, some sort of translucent dome covered her completely. And then, with a small sigh, a black hole popped out next to the miniature sun and swallowed it whole,142.93.60.102
"You said it yourself, you have been using it your entire life — and yet you are still a beautiful human, Paige."
"T… thanks?" Paige once again giggled awkwardly as she heard Riley's words. But after a few breaths, she sighed and shook her head, "But my ability affects you quite… aggressively since you already have other mental problems. W–wait, I'm not saying you're crazy…. Well, you are; but in a controlled way, you know?"
"Hm," Riley blinked.
"You will lose against me," Paige once again sighed, "It's just a matter of time until you won't be able to control what comes out of your mind if we continue to fight — even I'm not confident that the Other Paige won't come out."
"..." Riley looked away for a few seconds; not saying a word as he seemed to be thinking of something.
"..."
"..."
Perhaps it may have been more than a few seconds, as Paige started to look at the direction Riley was looking to see if… he was actually watching something. Before she could get near, however, Riley suddenly looked at her.
"What!? What's going on!?" Paige started waving her hands as Riley started running toward her; not at a speed that she couldn't really follow, but fast enough that she slightly panicked. She quickly summoned a booster so that she could avoid Riley. The booster, however, ran out of juice even though she did not really specify it to run needing it.
"!!!" Paige quickly focused on Riley as she realized it was his doing. And so, she just opted to summon a pair of wings—but Riley made it so that it had no air whatsoever to flap on.
"You left quite an impression the last time we met, Other Paige," Riley bowed his head.
"Kinky," Other Paige raised an eyebrow, "Typical of one crazy as you to prefer… me, the Other Paige. Anyway, I canceled the cage thingy that made you unable to use your other supervirus abilities — you can do your worst."
"That would not be fa—"
"Just kidding!" And almost instantly, Paige suddenly appeared right in front of Riley; her chainsaws, already only inches away from sawing Riley in half.
"..." Riley immediately leaped back. But as soon as he did so, Paige's two chainsaws merged into one and turned into a bigger, and longer saw. She quickly swung it again toward Riley, creating an inch-deep gash on Riley's chest.
"Heh… heh…" Other Paige's chainsaw locked and stopped moving as she licked off Riley's blood from her blades, "...This taste is suffocating. No wonder the little one likes you so much — makes me want to snatch you from her, and from the other women that want a taste of you."
"..." Riley blinked a couple of times as he touched the gash on his chest, which was not healing as he expected it to.
"It's a nice feeling, isn't it?" Other Paige cackled as she once again turned on her chainsaw. And with a small bounce of her feet, the saw suddenly turned into the shape of… a scythe, "Let's add more of my touch on that beautiful white body of yours!"
And as Other Paige started swinging her scythe wildly, Riley started taking a few steps back — moving his body as softly as a dust underwater; smoothly avoiding each of Other Paige's strikes.
"You have been told why people are weirdly attracted to you, right?" Other Paige continued to laugh ominously. She did not even seem to mind that she wasn't hitting Riley at all. Instead, she just looked him in the eyes,
"They don't really like you, Riley. They are attracted to you because they can't help it. You are a creature beyond their reach, an abominable god; but a god nonetheless. And gods will always attract those of which they set their eyes upon."
"..."
"They don't love you, not at all. They just feel an eerie sort of admiration toward you," Other Paige smirked as her chainscythe parted in half; once again turning into a pair of chainsaws, before suddenly shifting into what looked like… a pair of miniguns,
"No one really loves you, Riley."
And with a breath, Other Paige let out a barrage of bullets that hit Riley directly in the chest several times.
"There is only one that could actually love you…" And as Riley very slowly fell back down to the ground, Other Paige blew the smoke coming out of her miniguns,
"...and that is me."
"...Hm," Riley blinked a couple of times as the bullets started sliding from his chest; which was actually protected by a bulletproof vest.
"The cute one has already told you that she accepts you for what you are, Riley…" Other Paige stood in front of Riley, before also letting herself fall beside him, "...The reason for that is because deep down, she knows what you are because of me. Me…
…The original one."
