Throne Of Time

Chapter 4 - 4 - Shape of Lies

That single sentence terrified the three men.

Their brains can no longer function properly because of the shock they received, they never imagined that a simple prey would turn into a hunter, not to mention the "Quirk" that this girl owns, they don't want to believe that such a terrifying quirk belongs to a beautiful girl.

The shock they took made them forget that they too have a "Quirk" and that with this power, they could try to free themselves, not that it would be of much use.

Seeing the emotional and psychological state of the three men, Kurumi did nothing but inflict further damage. "You know, Pride and Lust are undoubtedly my favorite sins. They are so easy to control." Kurumi whispered in the ear of the man called Erik, after approaching him "You only need to understand a little of their "tiny" mind and the game is already done, you can play with them how much you want".

Kurumi looked at them with a smile but after a while, she became bored by the silence they gave her "It's too monotonous, don't you think?"

Suddenly Kurumi's dress changed, from the previous black Gothic dress it has now become a crimson and black frills dress, her hair has changed too, now she has uneven twin tails on the sides of her head. In addition, she wears a large crimson net on her head that holds her hair and also wears a red and black collar on her neck.

In both hands, Kurumi now has two firearms respectively a Flintlock Pistol in her left hand and a Musket in her right hand. These two weapons are the means by which Kurumi uses her main power, namely Zafkiel, the Time Emperor, or with the classic name, the angel of the time.

"Very well, since I don't like this silence, how about singing?" Kurumi said with a smile, facing the three men and then raising her left arm, pointing the flintlock pistol at the shoulder of Hibiki, the "Electric Battery" man.

Subsequently, a deafening roar of thunder filled the avenue, followed by a heartbreaking scream.

"Did you have a good sleep?" Kurumi asked innocently, that look terrified even more the man who, with constant groans of pain, tried to formulate a sentence "Why ... Why did ... you do this"

Kurumi looked at the man in surprise as he asked her that question, then pretending to be the helpless girl from before and starting to sob, Kurumi asked him a question too "Why did you try to do that" first with a calm but painful tone and then later with a scream "Why!"

This terrified even more the man, who ignoring the shoulder pain, continually apologized to Kurumi. Looking at the man's appearance, Kurumi confirmed her idea even more.

"Pathetic" Kurumi could not find another adjective to describe the man.

Afterward, Kurumi bent her knees lowering herself with her body until she was close to the man's face. The man who until then has continued to apologize, hearing a rustle of clothes nearby, raised his head, still gritting his teeth from the shoulder pain, the first thing he noticed are two heterochromatic eyes, one red and the another one golden but looking carefully he noticed that the golden eye has a clock inside.

After the man raised his head, Kurumi brought her lips close to his ear and whispered to him "The wrong way is easier to go than the right way. That's the truth. And you cannot deny it." after which, turning her face away and standing up, Kurumi looked at him from the top "For this reason those who lower themselves to your levels are pathetic, your person seems to be that of a puppet, controlled by a puppet player".

Hearing these words, the man felt broken.

Every man can lower himself down and become like a dog, but even a dog has pride and if injured he can bite. This happened to Hibiki, hearing those words that like needles ended up in his heart, piercing him, no longer feeling pain thanks to the rage that went into his mind, he got up suddenly and charged towards Kurumi who looked at him with an astonished look on her face.

Charging himself with electricity around he continued to pick up speed, meanwhile, Kurumi looked at him with a smile, as he arrived in front of her with a distance of only two meters, and just as he was about to put his foot on the ground again to give himself a further push, a deafening roar of thunder filled the avenue again, Hibiki did nothing but stumble falling on the ground and at the same time losing the electric current acquired thanks to his Quirk, right after he started to experience excruciating pain in the stomach, now realizing that there was nothing else to do but wait for the end.

Kurumi looked at him with the flintlock pistol in her hand as he fell and then relaxed her arm, then, with fed-up tone she said "The games are over"

Subsequently, several fragile hands that emerged from the shadow of Kurumi, who in the meantime approached the man, grabbed Hibiki and started dragging him down, this is Shadow Manipulation, a skill composed of two spaces where Kurumi keeps clones of herself in the first one and where it devours people to get time.

Then putting a hand on her stomach, Kurumi looked at where Hibiki disappeared and with a smile said "Thanks for the meal"

In the meantime, the other two criminals have woken up from their "sleep" after the first shot of flintlock pistol. Except that they don't have the courage to make a single movement, for the fear they are currently experiencing, and all of this for a little girl in front of them.

Kurumi then looked at them and jokingly said "You know that now a fridge will fall from the sky upon you?" Both with a mechanical rotation of the neck looked at each other, then Erik whispered "... Don't ... Don't fuċk with us ... a fridge cannot fall from the sky".

Kurumi looked at them in amazement and then said "Don't you know that today the weather has forecast refrigerators from the sky? Oh, worse for you" and with a shrug she turned and then headed off the avenue, changing back to her usual black gothic dress.

Right after, with one snap of fingers, Kurumi said "A lie for a lie".

Just at that moment two refrigerators appeared in the sky and started to fall down, just above the two unfortunate ones, in fact after a few seconds there was a huge metallic thud.

This is "Infinite Deception of Words", the ability to turn a lie into reality if denied.

Kurumi looking behind with the corner of her eye, with a grin murmured "Lies hurt both ways" but immediately afterward she felt paralyzed because she discovered two things, the first one is that this ability uses her time to activate itself, the second one .... she did not ask for information about the black market.
