chapter 1419 offloading karma
naturally, moon did not respond. she was sleeping, as she fused with her world which was also becoming a realm. it would be a long time before she woke up, which honestly sucked for lex a bit.
they'd eventually reconnect, should nothing unexpected happen, but by then lex would have lived a long life, whereas moon would still have the mere experience of a few decades. the difference between them would be immense.
"someone recently told me that i am carrying an immense amount of karma," lex said. he did not even know if moon could hear him, or if she would remember this conversation. but from time to time, lex came and chatted with both moon and liz.
at least moon was still friendly towards him - at least based on the last time they talked. liz, on the other hand, had been so wary that she wanted to escape as soon as she could. quite frankly, lex was convinced that the moment she finished bonding with nemo, she would bail, which was fine.
she was not a prisoner here, and he was not her warden. even if he wanted to help, he could not force his help onto someone else. nor did he want to impose a brotherly bond or relationship upon her.
it was just that when he met his sisters, more than ever, lex felt a hint of loneliness. he did not feel it most days, since he was busy, not to mention despite the system's remarks, he had many people he called friends.
sure, most of them were from the inn, but the inn wasn't exactly a traditional workplace, and the workers did not have the same dynamic as jobs back on earth. they genuinely cared for one another, treating each other better than many families back on earth.
the words lex spoke were simple, and yet as he spoke the look in his eyes became more and more grave even as the tone in his voice stayed the same.
"so it turns out, positive and negative is too generic a term. even among positives and negatives, there are subgroups. i wonder, if it really was karma that allowed liz to be born with a 100% affinity to bonding with beasts, exactly what kind it must have been. if it really was karma... i wonder what they did to give birth to someone with a physique as unique as yours."
lex's fists clenched tightly as he thought about all the clones of moon he'd found, and all the clones he probably didn't find. ironically, he had spent the least amount of time with moon, but it was what happened to her that affected his emotions the most.
"it makes sense," lex whispered, his voice barely audible at all, as if he was afraid moon might really hear him. "if their purpose was just to offload their karma somehow, it makes sense that they had kids without really worrying about being unable to protect them. if that's the case, they were just more worried about protecting themselves."
lex's fists were clenched so tightly that his hands shivered, but finally he relaxed his grip, and allowed himself to calm down. it was as if he was no longer controlled by emotions anymore, but had entered a state of being clear headed.
"to be honest, i find this theory a little absurd because i can't even imagine the kind of karma they would need to have for this to be the case. regardless, if they really were just using us to dump their own karma, whatever it may be, then i will deliver retribution to them with my own hands."
to be entirely honest, if it was just for himself, lex could have just stopped caring about his parents altogether, and would rather focus on building a better life without them than getting even. but he could not forgive them for what moon had been through. in his eyes, they were just as guilty as damian was.
the only difference was that with a demi-dao lord protecting him, lex had to temporarily give up his revenge plans for damian. that should not be a problem with his parents.
