[ WP ] After several battles with the gods , and the loss of many of his comrades , a farmer-turned-warrior finally manages to complete the ritual to free the soul of his dead wife from the abyss . She does n't like what he has become .

Exhaustion and grief was all Beto had known for the past two years or so, but now everything seemed to come together for him at last. The last of the Gods had been defeated, and the Blue Demon appeared before Beto. 
 
 `` Alright, looks like you're finished. Never thought you would actually do it, but hey, I'm not complaining. Now, I'll grant you anything you want, but remember, I ca n't undo that wish once I give it to you. So, what do you desire?'' 
 
 `` You already know what I'm going to ask for,'' replied Beto with a tired look on his face. 
 
 The Blue Demon laughed mockingly and said, `` You know, I have no clue what you want, what do you wish for, all-mighty God Slayer?'' 
 
 Beto roared at him, `` Look, I already did what you asked of me, and it's your fucking turn to keep your part of the deal!'' 
 
 `` Alright, there's no need to yell, you do n't want to rip your throat out before talking to her again,'' replied the Blue Demon with a sneer. `` However, it will take sometime to bring her back. You know, it's been a while since she arrived at my place, and I have many souls to keep track of.'' 
 
 The Demon disappeared over a blue fire, and left Beto alone on those empty plains that were far away from home. The God of Wind was still laying on the blood-stained soil. He appeared to be asleep, and the only thing that said otherwise was that gash that ran across his stomach. It was eerily similar to the one his brother Pepe had gotten from the God of Winter, and just like the God of Wind, he died from it, as his intestines and blood gushed out of him like a river breaking through a dam. He remembered those who had joined him that day; his brother Pepe, his brother-in-law Miguel, and his best friend since childhood, Lalo. All of them had died gruesome deaths, and all were at the hands of the Gods. Beto went berserk and avenged their deaths ten-fold, and killed every God he needed to, which was all of them. His battles against the Gods of Fire, Water, Winter, Lightning, Wind and Earth were not without repercussions for his body, however. A missing eye, ear, and part of his ring finger on his left hand, a burnt back, a limp in his right leg, and a multitude of scars spread all over his body had become a part, or lack thereof, of him. 
 
 As he remembered his journey throughout these years, a voice called from behind him, and he turned. 
 
 
 `` Beto?'' asked the voice 
 
 `` Raquel, is that you?'' replied Beto with a lump in his throat and tears welling in his eyes. 
 
 Raquel ran to him and hugged him. Both had tears streaming from their faces, with `` I missed you,'' repeated over and over. They ended the embrace, which seemed to last forever, and she asked, `` How did you get me back to life?'' 
 
 Beto replied, `` It's a long story. Right now, all that matters is that you're here.'' 
 
 Raquel smiled, and looked past him. She saw the dead God and was puzzled before realizing what had happened. 
 
 `` Did you kill him,'' Raquel asked, all the warmth gone from her voice and replaced with a fretful tone. 
 
 `` I had to, that was only way to bring you back,'' said Beto, and continued with, `` and after the others killed my brothers, I had to take revenge on all of them.'' 
 
 Raquel began crying again, but this time they were tears of sorrow. She screamed between sobs, `` Miguel is dead? How did you let my little brother get into this mess! You should've let him stay at the farm while you had your fit of madness! You should've left me in the Abyss and learned to how to do without me!'' Every sentence, she yelled louder, until it was only shrieks that were coming out of her mouth. 
 
 Beto was puzzled at this outburst from the one he sacrificed so much for. How could she hate him for bringing her back from the dead, how could she berate for doing what no other man had done in **history**. He had suffered so much for this moment, waited so long, and now it felt like he had gotten slapped in face. It was the worst pain he had ever felt. 
 
 `` He wanted to come on his own, and I told him to stay, that he was too young to go. He just followed us without us noticing, and by the time we did find him we were too far gone to go back home,'' said Beto with a flash of anger on his eyes. `` Also, do you think I did n't care when he died? I protected him everywhere we went, but he knew the risks of coming along, they all did. They died a hero's death, and you should be grateful that you had people that loved you enough to fight the Gods themselves!'' 
 
 By now, Beto's face was completely red with anger. He looked at his wife, expecting her to ask for forgiveness, but instead he was met with another outburst. 
 
 `` You think just because you killed the Gods that makes you a hero? Well, you are n't! You are just a fucking onion farmer with delusions of greatness! The Gods provided for us, gave us life, and everything else we needed. Now we are going to rely on those fucking demons, and you know as well as I do that we'll be lucky if we survive on their miserly *gifts*.'' 
 
 Beto roared at her. `` You should be fucking praising me for all I've done! I brought you back from the Abyss, and all you are doing is barking at me like a bitch! Miguel did n't die for this, and I sure as fuck know neither did Pepe and Lalo. I should just kill you know, so that you meet with your *loving* brother down at the Abyss and stay there with him, since that's all you care about! And while you are there, you should say good morning to that blue asshole, since all he gave me was shit every step of the way!'' 
 
 `` You're right, you should kill me. While I'm there, I'll also say hello to my husband, because it's pretty obvious he died the day he set out to find the first God,'' said Raquel with a somber voice. 
 
 Beto began crying tears of anger, and turned his back to his wife. `` I'll let you go whatever you want to, just do n't come back to me when you change your mind about me. I fought for you, and now that you're back in this world. you're free to do whatever you fucking please, just like before we burned you.'' And with those scornful words, Beto began the long walk home, crying every step of the way.
