Genocide.
Anthony thought of this word.
Although he had killed a considerable number of people during his days at the Omni Peak Academy, those deaths had always been justified in his mind. He had only taken lives of those who came after him, like during the Academy invasion, or amidst the chaos of the war at Military Base Alpha-6.
He had never wiped out entire groups merely as collateral damage, nor had he ever killed individuals simply for being related to his enemies. Killing millions of people, many of whom probably didn't even know he existed, just to hurt the Second Supreme Monarch, seemed like overkill.
But was Anthony having second thoughts?
Definitely not.
He wasn't the type to take kindly to threats of any kind.
His thoughts shifted to the First Supreme Monarch. When they had first met, the man had appeared calm, exuding a sagely wisdom. But Anthony saw through the facade. He knew better. That air of serenity was just a carefully maintained outward appearance.
