Her once flawless pale skin was marred by bruises and scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around her, the world was on fire, slowly being erased from existence by the black flames of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All her allies lay dead. Her commander was dead, too. The people she loved, her childhood friends, her found family…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this battlefield that was forsaken even by the gods, only she was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in an instant, someone appeared before her. Too fast for her to notice and too powerful for her to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, her teeth grinding in helpless rage. She wanted to scream a curse, but the strength had fled her body long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before her stood a tall man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Only he wasn't a man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin was unnaturally white, and two dark crystalline horns jutted from his temples, curving around his skull like some sort of a divine crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He donned an armor so dark that it absorbed the very light around him, casting a shadow over all those who dared to step too close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive bat-like wings unfurled from his back, their leathery expanse as ghostly white as his skin. Long flaxen hair fell down to his waist, flowing like molten gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, burning like twin incandescent suns with black slit pupils at their center, bore down upon the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like a wrathful god gazing down upon sinners from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the man… the creature… who had done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Done the impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had defeated humanity. He had crushed the Monarchs. And, most importantly, he had killed all those who were Destined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Tenth Demon Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest of all the Defiled Ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bastard Son of the False God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Herald of Oldest Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's over. End your pitiful struggle,\" the creature declared as if issuing like a divine decree. His voice held a powerful authority that compelled anyone listening to him to bow in reverence. \"You have lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists, and for a moment, he managed to look almost… sorrowful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only you had been a little stronger,\" he then murmured, his whisper heavy with solemnity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a tone similar to a man who was forced to crush a pestering bug daring to block the path he was walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing a creature so insignificant should barely warrant his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn't feel sad for stepping on a colony of ants, would you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he felt a twinge of regret for taking so many lives, no matter how trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pity. That was the emotion. Not sadness, not irritation – he just felt pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman in front of him finally found the strength to let out a trembling voice. \"Tr-Traitor… You damn traitor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Demon Prince had already lost any interest in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers, and the white-haired warrioress burst into black flames, erased from existence in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a long stretch of forlorn silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Y-You couldn't live with your own failure, could you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of a sudden, the Tenth Prince heard another voice, weak and frail, as if it belonged to a woman on the brink of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned sharply and narrowed his eyes in surprise. There was another woman laying a few feet away from him on the ravaged battlefield, half-buried beneath the corpses of her people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone else survived?\" The Demon Prince raised an eyebrow, a mix of shock and curiosity clearly written on his profanely beautiful face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That woman had long ash-blonde hair that must've looked graceful once. Now it was singed and disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buried beneath a mountain of corpses, it was hard to discern her full frame, but she must've been tall and lithe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now her body was broken and battered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, a haunting shade of violet, had lost their gleam. Yet, they fixed on the Demon Prince with a strange intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was something else… something on her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…A third eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A translucent third eye made of pure spectral energy. It was an ethereal construct capable of gazing beyond the fickle veil of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the bearer of the Goddess' Eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, now it made sense how she survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was one of the Destined. The last one, in fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Your past must haunt you,\" she rasped, her voice strained and exhausted. \"And your future is even bleaker. I pity you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pity? Me?\" The Demon Prince almost laughed, incredulous. \"Have you lost your mind, mortal? I have no idea what you're talking about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she ignored him and continued speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your quest to become a god… is it not just an empty promise of destiny? You've been deceived and betrayed before. Why then, against better judgment, would you try to trespass into the realm of the Gods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Prince was genuinely perplexed now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was she talking about? Had she truly lost her sanity before she could lose her life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, raising his hand to erase her existence with a single snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see then,\" she sighed, not even caring about her impending death. \"So be it. I will tell you your fate…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman drew a final breath, gathering every ounce of willpower left in her battered body… to divine her last prophecy in a hoarse, grating voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In shadowed womb, a cursed one born, His heart, by vengeance, forever torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bound by a deal, twisted and grim, He walked the paths where stars grew dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From realms of sorrow, he sought to flee, Memory lost to Eternity's Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fate shall draw him back once more, To tread the steps he's walked before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In nameless guise, he'll play the role, Unknowing of his fractured soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the threads of fate convene, A choice shall shape the end of dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Villain's path or a Hero's grace? One soul to conquer time and space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a dark heart, now the world's last breath, To bring eternal rebirth… or endless death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Prince was bewildered. Utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was this woman prophesying now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what did it mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said she'd tell him his fate, but he hadn't asked for it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the holder of the Goddess' Eye was a sibyl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fabled soothsayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But was this really the right time to be spouting prophecies? On the edge of death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why do all the great seers utter prophecies in a convoluted, nonsensical poetic way?! Why could they just not speak normally?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the Demon Prince snapped his fingers, and she ceased to exist as well, the black flames leaving not even ashes behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weird woman,\" he muttered before flapping his majestic wings and flying away in a blur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Monarchs were dead, the heroes vanquished, and even the Gods had abandoned this world to hide behind Heaven's Gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The One Who Was had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now… it was time to conquer the Kingdom of Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-05-30T12:03:22.485Z","2026-06-01T04:31:10.979Z","novelbin.me","4f8e771d42231a298db8e737fcba42bfc5b24a06c60023aaab14d8712921ffbd","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-2","young-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-chapter-200",407,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyoung-master-s-pov-woke-up-as-a-villain-in-a-gam-cover.jpg"]
