My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 735

He scratched his head, thoughtful. "It's kind of like the mutated snakes—just like they evolved, we humans are evolving too, and these powers are part of that. We call it awakening. I can't explain all the details—only my sister might be able to explain it properly. I just know the basics."

"Oh! That's amazing!" Abby clapped her hands together excitedly, her eyes lighting up as she eagerly chatted with Keith about the awakened ability he mentioned.

Meanwhile, at the front of the truck, Duke cast a thoughtful glance at Kisha. After a moment of silence, he turned to her and asked,

"Wifey, you were ready to let that vicious woman off the hook, right? What changed your mind?"

His tone was gentle but curious, as if he already had a sense of what was going through her mind—yet still couldn't fully grasp her reasoning. He was baffled. If it were up to him, he wouldn't have hesitated to deal with Lisa himself, just to make sure she never got the chance to climb back up and cause more trouble in the future.

Hearing Duke's words, Kisha's smile froze. A tight knot formed in her throat, her heart skipping a beat with nervousness. She didn't know how Duke figured it out, but the truth was—he was right.

It was her intention to let Lisa taste the despair of abandonment, to let her struggle alone in the dark and feel what it was like to crawl out of hell.

The truck Lisa was given was barely functional, and all she had was a dagger. By any measure, it was a hopeless situation. If Lisa was unlucky, she'd likely die before making it far. But if she used her brain—and if luck was on her side—she might just survive.

Either way, Kisha didn't care. Unlike her, who had died and started over more than once, Lisa only had one life. That fragile, singular life would be tormented by despair—and to Kisha, that was enough. That despair was her revenge for the pain her past self endured.

But then, something changed. The angry red emoji floating above Lisa's head, marked "Bad," suddenly darkened. It turned black. The symbol became a devil, and the text shifted to "Evil." Kisha's breath hitched. Lisa's hatred had reached its peak. If she survived… she would come back. And this time, she'd return for blood.

That alone wasn't enough to faze Kisha or scare her. She had been through too much in life to be easily shaken. Even when she left, she remained confident she could handle Lisa if it came to it.

In fact, she'd even left Melody behind—because unlike Lisa, Melody hadn't crossed the line beyond redemption.

Risky? Yes.

Foolish? Maybe.

But Kisha wasn't heartless.

So why hadn't she left Lisa a way out?

Why had she gone so far as to use a 'Beast-Attracting Talisman,' effectively sealing Lisa's fate?

The answer was simple.

Her 'Eye of Truth' had just reached Level 2, and in that very moment, like a jolt to the brain, a vision flashed before her eyes—a glimpse of the future.

In it, Lisa returned… but not alone. She came back with a powerful new faction, a group of deadly individuals who attacked without mercy. Kisha saw her people fall. She saw her family bleed. She didn't know how Lisa had survived—only that she did, and that she returned more dangerous than ever.

The vision was only a flicker, barely a second long, but it was enough to stop Kisha in her tracks. Just for a heartbeat, she turned around and looked back at the helpless, broken woman she was leaving behind.

She didn't know what means Lisa would use to survive that place, or what kind of power she might gain to reach her family and tear down all the protections Kisha had painstakingly put in place. But one thing was certain—Kisha wasn't willing to gamble on it.

It was no longer far-fetched to think that Lisa wasn't the only one receiving aid from a Constellation. If there were others involved, they could unite, becoming a powerful force that could easily challenge Kisha and her people. _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}
