《The World isn't as Ugly nor Beautiful as You Think》Born to be Hated
Advertisement
Alfi has fully become a devil as Levi told Kartika.
In the middle of the silence, suddenly…
Belphegor and Asmodeus retreat. They vanish and appear standing close to Alfi and Levi. Kartika doesn't realize that she has turned to herself.
"IWAE!" Jeje who is already standing next to Alfi and Levi exclaimed.
Jeje is seen wearing a loose brown cloak and holding an opened tome on his left hand (?).
"The new prince of Hell has been born! He is the devil representing the eighth sin, Apathy. His name is Alfi." He finishes his speech as he closes the tome.
"The fuck is he doing?" The other guys said in their minds.
"So, you've awakened already." Franz is walking slowly to Alfi. "ALFA!" He dashes real fast to Alfi ready to splitting Alfi in 2 with his katana.
"You, blasphemous human." Levi is pissed by Franz and she is ready to counter Franz's blow.
Alfi then holds Levi's shoulder and walks forward. His sigil glows silver and something like a giant silver hand appears before Franz. It clenches itself and launches a heavy blow on Franz that he gets sent flying. The hand is floating over Alfi and it is very big.
"Is that his demonic power?" Levi is impressed by seeing Alfi's new power.
Franz, in the midair, grows a pair of blue hawk wings and he flies to Alfi.
"Don't get too cocky!" He exclaimed pointing his katana to Alfi.
The giant hand shoots a rain of silverish black Mana needle to Franz. Seeing that, Franz swiftly spreads his wings and flaps them, shooting many blue feathers from them.
Those feathers do hit the needles, yet the needles keep coming in Franz's direction. As Franz is about to counter them, the imposter appears before him with a great shield on his hands letting the needles hit the shield.
Both of them then land smoothly.
"Franz, if you don't mind, may I fight this guy?" The imposter said.
"Oh, this is just not like you to be so worked up to killing someone."
"Well yeah, but he is the Alfa, the one I disguise. I want to make sure that I am stronger than him."
"I see, just do as you want."
"May I kill him?" The imposter said drawing Pelidi and Tipit from his bracelet.
"Why shouldn't you? I said 'do as you want.'."
"FRANZ" Varz suddenly appears before him ready to thrust his Katana to Franz's body.
CLANG
Franz is blocking Varz's katana with ease.
"How impatient." Franz sighed.
"I don't have enough time to be patient!" Varz swings his katana upward dismantling Franz and he is about to thrust his katana.
As Varz is about to pierce Franz's body, Franz's body grows a bed of snakes. Those snakes are keeping Varz busy while Franz is letting himself get shoved by them so he can make a distance from Varz.
WHOOSH
Varz grows snakes from his heel to the ground so he can maneuver to the midair to evade Mammon's burning fist. Franz then lands on the ground where his katana lies. He then picks it as he says, "Both of you do not know how to hold back, do you?"
"I don't need your help! It's my business!" Varz exclaimed.
"Boy, he owes me some body parts here," Mammon said showing her flame arms to Varz. "As we have the same objective. Why don't we just tag along to kill him? I can just resurrect him after he dies if you aren't satisfied, though." Her arm is blazing.

"Interesting," Varz walks forward and stops beside her. "I don't think you will need to resurrect him as I will kill him first before you do." He added.
"Hmph, how cocky for a human," Mammon smirked.
"Done with the bullshit? Come!" Franz exclaimed.
"As you wish!" Varz and Mammon are advancing to Franz.
BOOM
WOOSH
BANG
The trio causes a great explosion as they fight.
Meanwhile, back to the confrontation of the imposter and Alfi.
"Why don't you say a thing, Alfa?" The imposter draws Tipit and Pelidi from his bracelet. "Are you thinking about what good last words would be before your death?" He added.
Alfi remains silent. He is just giving the imposter a cold gaze.
"Well, aren't you speechless? That's just normal for a disgusting starless like you." The imposter said in a disgusted tone.
SPUTTER
The imposter spits out saliva to the ground near where Alfi stands.
"Why you!" What the imposter did got Levi's nerve.
As Levi is about to attack the imposter, Belphegor stops her by holding her shoulder.
"Just let him do it. You do believe in him, right?" Belphegor said.
"But."
"Please."
The upset Levi sees Alfi there. He remains silent while giving the imposter a cold gaze. He doesn't look upset at all. Though he seems okay with that, Levi just can't hold herself after seeing her beloved one treated like trash any longer.
Well, it's not just Levi who feels that way. The others are trying to hold Kartika who was trying to go berserk.
"You are not deaf, are you?" The imposter said.
Alfi doesn't answer.
"Though you don't say anything, I can tell that you can hear me and what you can do now is just letting it slide, right? Coward as ever."
"…"
"Still don't want to talk, eh? Then, you don't mind if they know the dark secret of the Alfa?"
"The dark secret of the Alfa?" Herman wondered.
"What kind of bullshit is that?" Cocong wondered.
"Then, I take it as a yes, yes?" The imposter smirked.
"The Alfa or Starless are just terms for a living creature whose fate is darker than anyone. When they were born, they would wish that they were never be born. You must know what I mean. Your life is tough, right? Your parents always wish that you were never born, the people around you wish you die tragically. And even you have some people who care about you, you would put them in danger that they either die or leave you for bringing bad luck for them. You must have given them hard time several times, right? I bet you have." The imposter sees his surrounding. "Right?!" He exclaimed.
"He did," Kartika said in a low tone.
"What? I can't hear you." The imposter said.
"He did!" Kartika exclaimed.
The others were surprised by what Kartika said.
"That inferior human!" Levi is getting irritated.
The imposter bursts out laughing.
"See? Even one of you so-called 'friend' admitted that you do nothing but bring bad luck to them. You are a failure as a human. That's why you are not a human! No one likes you. Everybody hates you! The angels hate you, the World hates you, the gods hate you, and God Himself hates you very much! You are just nothing but a disgrace, you lunatic piece of shit!" The imposter launches Tipit to Alfi.
STAB
Tipit impales Alfi's abdomen.
"BWAGH!" Alfi coughs blood that he falls on his knee.

"ALFI!" Levi swiftly takes care of the bleeding on his abdomen with her green Mana. "Hang on there."
"Now, the disgrace will vanish. You were born to be hated. No need to thank-"
JAB
The imposter suddenly gets smashed by Kartika that he is flying in the midair and crashes the ground.
"WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL YOU, BITCH?! DIDN'T YOU HATE HIM AS WELL?!" The imposter exclaimed.
"He did put us in danger. He did make us worry. He always drops the ball. But, he never quits his job. He is the Alfa, the protector of the world. On top of his tough destiny, he keeps moving forward. He always prioritizes us, his friends to himself. And, I have no plan in leaving him! I will always be on his side! " Kartika exclaimed.
"Yeah! He is our friend, and friends are supposed to help each other. If he brings bad luck, so what? My life is tough even without his existence!" Herman added.
"He is also our friend! Bad luck won't do to ghosts like us!" Jeje added.
" 'Everyone hates him' you said? You are wrong. We do not hate him. Like I care whether he is human or not. He is still Alfi we know!" Kartika exclaimed.
"That woman." Levi is speechless by what Kartika said.
"Now, you understand why I root for her, right?" Asmodeus asked in an arrogant tone.
"Shut the fuck up. No one asked your opinion." Levi replied.
Tipit which is impaled on Alfi's abdomen has been pulled out successfully and the wound is gone by Levi's Mana.
"Errrggh." Alfi groaned.
"You have to take a rest, Alfi." Levi persuaded him.
"No, I am okay." He strokes Levi's hair gently and gets up. "Thank you very much, Levi. But I can't let my friends get beaten up by that fucking imposter." He smiles at her.
"What? You still remember them?"
"Of course. They are my friends. There's no way I can just forget them." Alfi vanishes and appears close to Kartika.
"Alfi?" Kartika is surprised by Alfi appearing next to her.
He smiles at her and says, "Thank you, Kartika."
She smiles at him with her teary eyes as she is nodding slowly.
"Now, leave the rest to me," Alfi said.
"You?!" The imposter is getting enraged as he grows a pair of eerie black wings from his back.
The wings are big and they look like a set of black sharp iron.
"Harasa?!" Kartika and Herman are surprised by knowing that the imposter can use black Harasa.
"DIE!" He flaps his wings letting many black sharp irons flying in Alfi's direction.
BOOM
The irons hitting Alfi caused a great crash that caused the smoke. As the smoke vanishes, Alfi is still seen standing there without any scratch on his body.
"What?!" The imposter is surprised by seeing Alfi is still standing there.
"You said that everyone hates me, right? Here's a question to you." Alfi said. "DO I FUCKING CARE ABOUT THAT?!" He exclaimed.
"FUCK EVERYONE! IF THEY HATE ME, WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT THEM?! I HAVE ENOUGH FRIENDS HERE AND IT'S JUST ENOUGH!" Suddenly something like a silverish black tome appears before Alfi.
It is floating before his chest.
"ARE YOU NOT AFRAID IF THE WORLD OR GOD HATES YOU?! YOUR LIFE IS NOTHING BUT SORROW."
"SO WHAT? AS LONG AS I AM NOT ALONE. KARTIKA, MEGUMI, PINTO, CAKRA, HERMAN, COLONEL, VARZ, DORADUO, KOJI, RIAN, JEJE, COCONG, BURIKO, AOI, ẞENLONG, AND LEVI. AS LONG AS I HAVE THEM BY MY SIDE, I AM FINE WITH ANY KIND OF ADVERSITY I'LL FACE AGAINST! IT'S PAYBACK TIME!" Alfi exclaimed.
The tome opens and Alfi starts enchanting the runic spell.
"Here it is, the eighth's power!" Belphegor said.
"
$query = $this->db->select("SELECT teknik_jitu FROM teknik_jitu WHERE id_user = 10 AND id_dosa = 8 AND type = 'AOE' LIMIT 1")->row();
echo strtoupper($query);
?>
"
"Take this. Sihir Apatis: Duri Kesengsaraan! (Apathy Style: Thorns of Misery)" Alfi exclaimed.
The ground around the imposter turns silverish black with a radius of 3 meters. Then suddenly silver thorns emerge from it piercing the imposter's body in no time that he is dead tragically. His bloody dead body is slowly turning into the black dust that it's completely swept away by the wind.
"Even if I was born to be hated. I don't mind at all. There's no way to change hatred. Hatred will always stay in one's heart for good. So, if someone hates me, I will also hate them. It's simple, right?" Alfi said.
Alfi then turns to himself again. He faces his friends and smiles so casually.
"How is that possible?" Levi wonders why Alfi can still remember his friends.
"Are you upset as he didn't lose his memory about his mortal life?" Belphegor asked.
Levi just nods slowly.
"That's the power of Love. When someone has love deep within, nothing can wipe it, even our magic." Belphegor explained. "Don't tell me that you want to take him from them by force."
"Then what's wrong with it?! I have been watching him for years! I want him to be by my side! Why something that simple can't be realized?!" Levi cried as she falls to her knee.
"Turn it down, he can hear you," Belphegor said. "If you want him to notice you more. You are free to do so." She added.
"Levi!" Alfi called her. "Will you help me?! We still have one to banish!" He added.
"You hear him? Although I can tell you lost to Kartika, he still loves you. Now, go." Belphegor said.
SOB
Levi gets up and wipes her tears. She smiles and runs approaching Alfi.
"Looks like this rom-com will continue further," Asmodeus said.
"Heh, ain't that interesting?" Belphegor said.
"You bet. Now, let's give Mammon a hand."
"Sure thing."
Belphegor summons two dragons and both of them jump on them. As they land, the dragons fly joining the fray.
"Let's give Varz and Mammon some hand!" Alfi exclaimed
"Henshin!" Alfi, Kartika, Herman, Jeje, and Levi exclaimed.
Alfi turns to his devil form, Kartika turns to her armored form, Herman turns to his Abiofusi form, Levi activates her sigil, and Jeje draws out a blue card with a heart symbol in the middle of it from his right hand and inserts it to his head transforming to Jeje Rider default form (Moe Moe Kyun Kyun).
Alfi and the others are joining the fray to back Varz and Mammon up.
Kartika, who runs next to Alfi averts her gaze to him.
"Why did I worry so much. He is still Alfi I know. He will never change no matter what kind of adversity we face. He will be always Alfi, the weird guy I love very much." Kartika said in her mind.
