New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

Chapter 794 Saved By An Angel

Alex wasn't just reluctant to let the divine spawn control his body. He was in fear of the result.

They were already in this mess because the demon part of him took control. What would happen if Geminae did?

Would he start messing with humans because they were, as he said, unworthy of living?

Geminae could hear his thought process and understood it.

After all, he had, not so long ago, threatened to consume the man and end life for humans, as they were not worthy of this gift Psyche had given them.

'Listen, Alexander. I know how you feel. But I will only control the body. I won't cut you off from your senses; you can take control whenever you wish. But I need to do this if you want me to save him. Can you trust me?'

"Hell nah!" Alex exclaimed in response.

"You guys have been the worst thing to happen to me in all my life. And that is saying a lot, considering the shit life I had!"

Geminae felt irritation rise in him.

'This is not the time to blame us for your misfortune. A life is at stake. Do you want to save him or not? Because he doesn't have much longer. I can feel him slip already.'

Alex looked at the man and saw that the skin was getting paler.

Touching his neck again, he no longer felt a pulse.

"Shit, he went into cardiac arrest!" he cursed.

'If you don't let me in control, he will be gone forever. Let me help. Trust me this just this once.'

Alex gritted his teeth.

He was reluctant to trust anything from either of those entities' mouths. But he couldn't let the man die.

Not if he could have helped.

"Fine, grab the wheel! But I'm watching! Do anything other than helping him, and I'm yanking you out of control. And then, you'll never be allowed a remote place near my mind again. Understood?"

Geminae didn't even deign to respond as he forced his presence to grow inside Alexander's body.

Immediately, Alex's irises turned a bright golden colour, and heat radiated off of him.

Losing no time, Geminae put both his hands over the man's heart, and with a few pulses of divine energy, he got the heart beating again.

Next, he looked at the blood pooling on the man's legs and waved his hand at it.

Slowly, the blood pulled out of the clothing and seat and rose back toward the man's stomach wound.

It slid into the wound, which was barely cauterized properly, and went back inside his body. With all the control he could muster, Geminae redirected the blood into the veins, before closing them off magically.

This would buy the man a few hours, but no more.

The blood would resume leaking out of his body as soon as the magic broke.

But Geminae used his massive range of divine detection and felt that another aircraft was already flying toward them.

"Good. He'll get the help he needs."

Turning around, Geminae decided it was better to leave before someone saw him and misconstrued the situation. He knew enough of the human culture, through Alex's memories, to know they would think he was an angel.

That was the last thing Alex needed right now, to become the center of attention. He would tear him a new asshole if that happened.

What he didn't notice was the wounded pilot's eyes flutter open as he turned around. The man first saw a human back with two golden white wings and a heavenly glow on the skin before the angel-like being flew away so fast he immediately lost sight of it.

'An angel saved me…' the man thought, tears falling from his eyes again.

'Thank you, God…' the man prayed.

As soon as they were airborne, Geminae pulled back his mind from the body, letting Alex resume control.

Alex flew in silence for a moment, looking conflicted.

"Thank you," he murmured, the wind taking his words away.

But Geminae had heard them.Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

'How could I get you to trust me if I let someone die before you after you asked for my help? I am not your enemy. I realize our feelings about humanity differ. But we can still be on the same side…' Geminae said in his mind.

Alex didn't know about that. But he was willing to give him at least a chance.

Meanwhile, the imp made gagging sounds in the corner, still tied up. Since Alex had used up a considerable portion of its power the day before and then forced himself into control during the night, he was too weak to break free.

But that didn't deter him from being an annoyance.

'Urgh! You guys make me hurl! Urgh! So sappy! Urgh!'

Alexander clenched his teeth, trying to ignore the impulse of murdering the damned thing, as he flew toward Montreal.

Geminae, for his part, was happy enough punching him in the head again before sealing his mouth shut with another line of runes.

It would only last as long as the demon was weakened, but hey, if it bought them a few hours of peace, that was fine by him.

Alex knew this way of transportation was a lot more risky since he needed to fly high to avoid being seen. But he also had no way of knowing what else he would cross paths with in the sky.

He wasn't equipped with navigation instruments, being a person and not a plane.

But at least, it was much quicker.

At this speed, he would be home in a few hours, maybe even before lunch.

However, a thought struck him.

'Should I even go home like this? What if I lose control again? Will I attack anyone near me? Will I put Kary in danger? How could I do that to her?'

He realized he needed to know more about his current state before sleeping beside the woman he loved.

Too many unknown factors were at play here. And he couldn't risk losing control again.

Not near his loved ones.
