But she didn't wait for him to respond, to keep talking.
"It is a curious fate of mine. Humanity made me hate it so much that all I want is to exterminate it, but at the same time, it made me an indispensable existence for the race. Perhaps it wants to test me? Perhaps it was simply a test, the suffering?" She sighed.
She had asked herself this question many times but had never been able to discuss it with anyone because no one could understand her.
But Matt was different, so she looked at him.
"I am the most important existence for the current human race. In me, they all see a hope of ridding themselves of the power of the vampires. But, the more I know and the more I see of the human race, the more despicable I find it. Despite that, it does not detract from the fact that I belong to humanity.
With all that and knowing that I could become your enemy in the future, do you still want to fight the human race?" she asked.
Perhaps she was trying to put Matt in a dilemma, for she needed to know his conviction and determination.
Even if she was standing there in front of him, could he cut her head off to end his revenge? Could he do that, for walking the path he had chosen?
Matt stared at her and didn't reveal too much on his face. He just sighed.
"I lost you once, to my own fault and to a treacherous humanity that doesn't deserve to exist, yet somehow I got you back, and now I'm convinced that I'm not a normal person. I have amazing powers, just like you. If I have to fight you to wipe out the human race, don't worry; then I will defeat you with ease and not let you suffer.
I don't care who you are and how long it takes; I will use my power and bring you to my side. Even if I have to exterminate several races in the process.
Even if I have to travel again and again through the different worlds, my power will bring you to my side, and I will make you into that Queen who rules by my side." He disappeared from where he stood and approached Charlotte once more, lifting her chin to look at him.
"The path I have chosen to walk is a difficult one; my identity is strange. But it is a path that will allow me to exterminate the human race from all existence. So what if you are just as special as I am? I just have to break your destiny and twist it. Even if it's harder than I can imagine, I'm sure I'll succeed. Because you are my wife and always will be."
"The pain caused by the loss I saw in that place full of rocks will not be erased unless I see the whole of humanity pay for its sins. Betrayal, deceit, envy, and hatred are feelings that abound in the human race. They are so abundant that I sometimes wonder if these guys could ever create powers out of them.
They are not a race worth the effort to save, but they are worth the effort to exterminate." Although his words might be confusing, Charlotte understood what he meant.
And the fact that he didn't ask anything at the end was because he wanted to know where Charlotte stood. He had already heard a first statement from her about wanting to exterminate the human race.
But was her determination as great as Matt's? She died before she could see Matt's death, so perhaps Matt was more affected by that situation as he came to see her death.
Charlotte knew he wanted an answer, and Matt's determination had exceeded her expectations, answering every question she had. This was the determination of someone who, despite being called the 'Ice Assassin', had decided to take the baton and lead humanity, as a hero, to a victory against the most powerful being to touch the earth at that time.
At that time, he was not against being called the hero of mankind; he even fantasized about it at times.
But now, there was only a giant determination to exterminate the same humanity he had saved. Moreover, she could see an absolute confidence in his abilities, which made him seem like a totally different Matthew than the one she knew on Earth.
That Matt was introverted and didn't like to talk too much, he tended to overthink and doubt many things, because he sometimes focused too much on pessimism. That was one of the reasons why he became dependent on Charlotte at that time.
Charlotte's impeccable strategies placated his pessimism, giving him no room to be pessimistic. At that time, she strived to get better at controlling her ability solely because she thought it would make him grow. She never imagined that, in reality, everything she did would have the opposite repercussions to what she wanted. Still, right now, there was no time to regret that.
He had changed, and Charlotte could witness that right now. She originally came here with numerous plans to convince him to sever that connection, but he cut her off in a moment. And he didn't hesitate to say that he was going to complete his revenge, even if she wanted to object.
That made Charlotte smile a little.
"You don't need to ask something like that, Matt. Humanity owes me a debt that will not be repaid as long as they are living. Even if it means burying myself and destroying myself to dust, my determination and thirst for revenge is strong enough to do it." She did not hesitate to say this.
She had her own plans and her own way of doing things, but she always wanted to tell Matt. She came here, it was partly for that purpose.
So Matt nodded, but she wouldn't let him speak.
"That is why you must return to your place. This territory is too dangerous for you at present. Besides, I will be taking over the leadership of the human race shortly, so there will be much movement within the empire and a great change is coming to this place. Go back to vampire territory, grow well, and eventually, we will meet again.
If we have to fight, then fate will decide." She smiled and jumped to the other side of where he was standing, turning on his back in a moment.
She didn't want to let him talk because she didn't know how to say goodbye when they had only just met.
That was why she drew her sword once more.
"The Sorcerers come running, so the time for small talk is over. Matt, I have a request before you leave."
"Request? What is it?"
"Attack me hard using Frozen Time. I want to experience what it means to be frozen in time."
