Resident Evil Multiverse Of Madness

"Yeah, but I wonder why it would reveal itself to you guys?" Zeel asked extremely confused about the entire matter.

"What do you mean?" asked Hank feeling as if something was also amiss.

Elizabeth thought deeply before answering in Zeel's place since he was a bit too talkative at the moment.

"Your grandfather," Elizabeth said pointing at Alexander then continued "Discovered this island after a grueling journey… which is as it should be – apparently lucky …. But he was also able to send out a transmission. That's where the discrepancy laid,"

Alice then continued since Elizabeth was taking a bit too long to get her thoughts together "She is saying - him calling for help should have been impossible in a sub-dimension… you guys making it here is also considered highly improbable….

Now this Sigel being in old English is not just impossible, it was as if this sub-dimension was built taking your needs into account with all the challenges so far. Making sure that you were able to make it here even though you should have died thousand times over,"

Zeel nodded before turning to Alice and giving a command that would also act as an experiment "Check their souls but this time use your intentions to focus on shackles instead,"

Alice nodded after which her eyes flared up with blue flames as she gazed at Hank… then Kailani… then Gabato... then Sean, at which point her eyes lingered slightly longer than usual… but when she turned her eyes onto Alexander, her pupils lit up like Christmas lights.

Alice pointed at Alexander and then Sean before saying "Both were obscure before but when I specifically looked for chains I found it, they have chains on their souls,"

This revelation made Sean and Alexander's face pale immediately. They were not sure about the exact severity of their situation, but they guessed chains on your soul was not a good thing in any way, shape, or form.

Zeel nodded in confirmation at her discovery "Their ancestors made a deal with a powerful demon or Abyss Monster for something,"

Zeel once again sunk in silence as he approached Alexander placing his hand on Alexander's shoulders "It was for adventure… His ancestors traded their souls, and those of their descendants for great adventures,"

Zeel looked at the duo of grandfather and grandson a bit weirdly and amused at the same time.

Who the f.u.c.k sells their souls, and their linage's soul for enjoyment?

Elizabeth grew confused "How can you tell?"

Zeel shrugged and began to explain "I am the God of Dimensional Travels so I can feel where the destination of everything not hidden is – for example, the soul.

I just simply touched him and willed myself to find where his soul would go when he dies. And his soul was pulled towards a Demon Dimension and not The Hell plane or The Celestial plane,"

Elizabeth nodded in understanding "Yeah... and his soul wouldn't go to a Demon Dimension unless they have some sort of relation? The Dimension is too specific right?"

Zeel nodded at her question "Well, I can't be absolutely certain about the matter, but that seems to be the case from the limited information we have, alongside Lorien's memories,"

Hank, Sean, Alexander, and Elizabeth continued their discussion as Zeel offered them explanations on the specifics of trading their souls.

Kailani and Gabato were a bit concerned since Gabato suspected that Kailni also unknowingly traded her soul, but was quickly put at ease when Alice retorted "Why would we need the soul of an innocent girl? Trying to get these restrictions to kill us or something?"

While everyone else was either explaining something or listening to an explanation, Alice had been studying the runes on the ground.

She managed to decipher quite a bit of the mysteries within using her knowledge of Hybrid Runes but still required a sort of key to open the tomb of the fallen God.

Attempting both tech and runes proved useless for this type of seal, but she was extremely hesitant to tell Zeel about it, knowing fully well that the key was a specific type of sacrifice.

In the end, Alice compromised with her inner demons and decided to ask for Zeel's assistance.

"This place is a door to get what we want but it is sealed," Alice said watching both Elizabeth and Zeel intently knowing they had already accessed her memories and had the necessary information to make a decision.

Zeel looked at the Runes on the ground for a couple of minutes, never blinking even once.

He then turned towards the eager group of people and said "This requires a specific human sacrifice. This requires the sacrifice of a cursed mortal to open… The island called for you guys because you had shackles on your souls,"

Elizabeth then turned towards Alice, knowing she had to decide what they would do next.

Elizabeth and Zeel always left the morally ambiguous decisions on Alice's shoulders, since they ran the risk of causing her divinity to be triggered if they made the decisions themselves.

Alice stayed silent for a couple of minutes, then her eye sockets became slightly dim with red flames inside.

She looked at each person gathered there, but this time she also accompanied each stare with a finger point.

"You… innocent," she said pointing to Hank, then Sean, Kailani, Gabato, but when it came to Alexander, she paused and her face grimaced as she was trying to pry into the sins that stained his soul.

"He came on a boat called 'Blue Rose' that wasn't his own. He was desperate for money and spent all his time exploring to find the Mysterious Island.

He knew this was the location of shipwrecks but still tricked the owner of the ship to come with him. The man's name was Charles… he had a family… two daughters, one son, and a dog," Alice said staring deeply at Alexander, even with her nose bleeding continuously.

Her eyes returned to normal as she looked at Zeel and said "He is the guiltiest person here, but his intention was never to harm anyone,"

Truly, Alice would have preferred not to take this course of action but also agreed to not hinder Zeel's ambition ever again.

As Zeel's wife, Alice had learned to reach a compromise with his ways.

Alexander couldn't truly be considered guilty for what he had done by her standards, but in the end, everyone was guilty of something.

Alice, as the God of Punishment, could strike someone dead for stealing a quarter when they were 5 years old – of course, she had to have the corresponding control of her divinities first.

At most with her current abilities, she could only punish those who had taken a large number of lives directly, but she could still see the sins of anyone if she looked deeply enough.

Elizabeth caught Alice's swaying body with Zeel nodding in approval. He confirmed his suspicions after witnessing that Alice could indeed use her divinity passively, even if she was still in the Ascending Stage of Godhood.

Why passively even though she could perform such feats? Because she did not actively move her divinity into her eyes, instead she had been restraining her divinity to her c.h.e.s.t area all this time.

She just had to release the nanites restrictions that blocked her divinity from accessing her optic nerves.

Even so, passively using their divinities should be impossible, Zeel deduced that this was probably caused due to the Cosmic Force of Lorien that integrated with their own energy a couple of years back.

Maybe this affected their energies more potently than they had previously realized.

Zeel looked at Alexander for a split second before coming to a decision. Taking the opportunity when Hank and the others were still shocked at Alexander's sin revelation.

Zeel disappeared from his spot and appeared next to a gaping Alexander who held his neck that was squirting blood.

Zeel was feeling a bit out of breath and bleeding from his nose, but was okay otherwise.

'Is this all the punishment for murdering someone guilty?' Zeel thought naively since it was not a huge price to pay.

It didn't take long for thunder to boom in the skies above, a storm had materialized in the blink of an eye.

This was no regular storm, instead, it consisted of the golden lightning that slammed into Zeel's body a couple of times before ultimately disappearing as quickly as it came.

There was no scorched earth or anyone injured which left the group briefly confused.

Earlier he was genuinely wondering what the penalty would be for killing someone as a god, but now that he felt the drain of his energy, he began to regret ever wanting to test his absurd idea.

He could also feel some permanent damage being dealt, had his body not contained Draconic energy that was equally as violent as the lightning strikes, Zeel had no doubt that a couple of years of recovery would be needed to fully heal.
