Scarblade Goddess 21 Chapter 20

"Uwaaaahhh uwwwwaaaahh!".

Their whining cries were coming from a huge s.p.a.cious room. Amora was panicking like an annoyed mother, as the two babies were still crying in their cribs scandalously,

"OH C'MON! Could the both of you pipe down?!".

She was deep in her thoughts, regretting of what she had done before,

"This is why I don't want to become a mother, 'CUZ OF THIS!".

She looked-like she doesn't even know what to do, as she's begging the two babies to stop crying, even though talking to the babies won't work. As she was almost at wits end, she hatched an idea,

"Oh wait, maybe this'll work!".

She snapped her fingers. The next moment, she had brought out plastic bottles that were filled with warm milk. She gave the milk bottles to the two babies and the two had stopped crying. Amora felt relieved afterwards,

"Finally.".

The atmosphere was calm once again, as the babies were busy upon drinking the said milk from who knows where it came from. Conveniently enough, the G.o.ddesses could just snap their fingers and poof out things that they need in an instant. Though, the items just came from the Celestia Heavenly mall, so they need to pay up front at the said service center for the fee later on. After a while, Amora held her hips and looked at the babies confidently,

"Now to check on if any of these two has the hero's soul. Since, someone said that another hero would be transferred to my world.".

She sighed and continued to be engrossed in her thoughts,

"This is very important because, he could be the next hero G.o.d due to his potential and the feats he had done before, during his past life.".

She lifted up her right hand and cast out,

"ULTIMA SCAN!".

Her extraordinary vision saw so many information regarding the two babies. The words were all moving so fast, as it was flowing in the speed of light, so no normal human could understand them. Sooner or later, she shut her eyes as she had seen something strange. Her eyebrows were twitching. She tried to remain calm. Though, as she opened her eyes, she looked very disturbed and crept out instead. Then, she exclaimed that spelled the end of the world for her,

"You've got to be kidding me! TWO HEROES?!".

She sighed with a stressful look. Soon, she was absorbed in her disturbing thoughts,

"Not only one but, two babies that I need to raise to become a fully fledged hero?".

As she can't hold her pent up anger, she expressed like it's the doomsday,

"GAAAAHHHH! WHY DID I SAVE BOTH OF THEM FROM THAT BURNING TOWN?!".

"BRK!",

she slammed her head on the small wooden table later on.

"Why am I so unlucky.",

as she mumbled desperately. She looked at the two babies. Instead of becoming even more depressed, she had a tiny bit of blissful feeling, as their eyes were sparkling like limestones. Though, she didn't express her full feelings,

"Please don't make goo-goo eyes with me. It won't make me feel any better...err—".

She looked at the roster of names. Those were the names they were called during the times when they were alive in different worlds. As she saw the names that sounded pleasant to her ears, she wore a smile and had decided. Then, she said with her soft voice,

"Aron and Senku...".

The two babies smiled their happiest afterwards, as they heard her say their names. It's as if they had already accepted Amora as their guardian or non-blood related mother.

As Amora was finished upon telling the vivid flashback, Aron kept on laughing and laughing, while he was slamming his gla.s.s filled with whiskey,

"GAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH! I still can't stop laughing, as I heard that over and over again! Who knew G.o.ddesses had to babysit children so they could turn into heroes BWAHAHAHAHA!".

The other divine people were being crept out by the scandalous and noisy Aron. Their looks of disgust were directed upon him. Though, Amora just ignored their dubious stares for them and just added more info to Aron's statement, while she was flicking her finger,

"Err...that's not the only way. The other heroes are trained, others are innate, and some of them are chosen etc.".

Senku took a quick drink of his whiskey. Then, he said,

"I guess ours are already innate. Due to the fact that we've done so many feats of saving kingdoms, towns, cities, people, and G.o.ddesses in our cycle of life.".

Aron seemed to have done making a scene. He said more regarding Senku's statement,

"And we only knew those things again when we became hero G.o.ds now, whereas we were heroes before who had favored the appeal of several G.o.ds and G.o.ddesses.".

Amora nodded,

"Yes, heroes who had died from their former worlds would SOMETIMES forget their memories when they are born anew in another world. In order for them to not be overloaded with lots of memories, experiences, knowledge etc.".

Senku agreed with Amora had said,

"Though, their said DIVINE POWER they had gained as a reward from their previous G.o.ddess or G.o.d would still be carried on to their next life. Thus, you can collect more DIVINE POWERS if you kept on making amazing feats in the worlds you come by in your cycle of life.".

Aron nodded,

"Yeah and that's how the other heroes become so powerful with so many various DIVINE POWERS...as well as villains.".

Amora then pointed out,

"Though, that wasn't always the case, since some of the heroes chose to get the divine power of PERMANENT MEMORY.".

Aron looked at Zeran,

"Just like Zeran here.".

Zeran nodded and gave Amora her ordered drink of cold tomato juice. Aron was almost about to laugh again, as he saw her weird drink that doesn't have any sting and excitement at all. Amora didn't like his reaction to her drink, so she gave off a seedy icy stare at him. He felt that her glare was truly serious so he just took a sip of his whiskey in silence. Senku took another hard drink and asked Amora about something,

"And Amora, you were also the one who had bestowed that specific power to Zeran right. The divine power of PERMANENT MEMORY, if I recall.".

Amora nodded and smiled at Zeran,

"Yes, when he saved me from the raging mobs before as well...".

Zeran was embarra.s.sed for a second, although he just looked away and stayed true to his loyalty of only loving his G.o.ddess wife Ru. Thereon, he just made more hard drinks and c.o.c.ktails. Aron tried to add humor to the uncomfortable conversation,

"I guess there's a G.o.dDESS who doesn't know how to manage her PE—!".

Amora smashed Aron's foot, making him to wear a silly expression and stop insulting someone directly. Senku facepalmed with a hilarious look, as he saw of what Amora did to Aron. He took a long drink of his whiskey on-the-racks. Then, he said,

"On another note Zeran had chosen to live alongside dark G.o.ddess Ru, the owner of this bar, for the rest of eternity. I guess Amora wasn't that APPEA—!".

Once again, Amora smashed Senku's foot with force. In turn, the two silly Hero G.o.ds were forcefully silenced by the angered G.o.ddess Amora. As she kept on stomping and squeezing their foot on the floor, their life force was being drained somehow. Zeran didn't even try to help them, since they were the ones who had started the fire. After a while, Amora had stopped smas.h.i.+ng their foot and took a sip of her tomato juice with poise. Aron and Senku were panting hard, as they had just recovered from the strange life draining stomp of Amora. They looked-like they had just finished a fiendish relay run. Soon, Senku asked Amora,

"Oh and can you continue with your story now Amora?".

Amora just sighed hard,

"I'll just make this quick and skip a lot of parts. Since, I have other things to attend to.".

For some reason, Aron still had the nerve to tell something about her,

"Uh huh...and she still had the time to frolick HE—!".

Once again, Amora stomped his foot again, ending his insult midway. He never learns to be honest. While Amora was almost crus.h.i.+ng the foot of Aron, she just continued to tell a piece of her memory in amazing imagery once again.

In her story, everything was burning around her. The terror in the air was present. Her hands were impaled, making her to leak out crimson liquid along her arms. More than that, she was shackled and bound to a b.l.o.o.d.y stake. The angry ma.s.ses were shouting at her, as they see her burn at the heart of the middle-aged town,

"YOU ARE NO G.o.dDESS! DIE WITCH! YOU ARE AN IMPOSTER!".

The wrathful cries of the ma.s.ses were heard by her, making her to leave out a tear of sheer hopelessness. Thereupon, she was engrossed in her saddened thoughts,

"I guess I just proved to them that I can heal them from an incurable sickness, that I've been branded a witch.".

Afterwards, she said full of resentment,

"Senku...Aron...I guess I shouldn't have told them...I'm sorry...".

She looked up to the skies, waiting for a bright miracle to happen. Suddenly, from a distance, using her heightened senses, she heard that two people were jumping and running along the rooftops. A little while later, two strange cloaked men descended near her. She was a bit surprised. They removed their cloaks in a flashy manner. Thereon, Senku and Aron were revealed, while they were wearing dusty bandit-like armors and clothes. Next, Senku cast out,

"AERO VEIL!".

There was a surge of powerful wind around them afterwards. In turn, the flames were all gone in an instant. Next, Senku pointed out his scimitar to the people around them. The people were terrified and they moved a few paces away, as Senku was scaring them with his weapon. Aron was removing the shackles of the battered-looking Amora, while Senku was buying enough time. In turn, Amora was shocked,

"Aron? Senku? Why are both of you here?".

Aron wore a confident smile,

"Hah! No G.o.ddess would be burned alive, while we're here!".

Then, Senku joined-in to the conversation by adding dark humor,

"Yeah...G.o.ddess meat doesn't taste good when burnt.".

Aron had finally removed the sharp objects that impaled her hands to the stake, making Amora to be free from her demise. There after, Aron told Senku,

"We're done here bro...".

Senku replied,

"Yeah I heard ya...".

Aron grabbed Amora's hand. The two of them went near Senku. Amora looked-like she was a princess who was just saved by her two knight-in-s.h.i.+ning-armors, even though they looked-like a pair of bandits. Senku revealed the smoke b.a.l.l.s from his pockets. Sooner or later, he threw the smoke b.a.l.l.s around them. In turn, a clear white smoke was created, concealing their whole presence. Soon, the cloud of smoke cleared up, although the three had already gone elsewhere. The townsfolk looked confused and they tried to look around in every nook and cranny of their underdeveloped town. Though, it appeared Amora, Senku, and Aron had already left the town. Amora was looking at the town from a high cliff, while she was wearing a sorrowful look,

"I guess I've failed to save that town...".

Aron patted her shoulder.

"Don't be so down, G.o.ddess!",

Aron interjected.

"Yes, since there are still tons of villages, towns, kingdoms that you could still save from this uncurable sickness.",

Senku said.

As Amora heard their motivational words, she was happy and her sh.e.l.l filled with deep regrets was no more,

"I guess so.".

She turned around and saw both of their cool smiles. The next moment, she embraced both of them, while she was expressing tears of immense joy, such as she was ever grateful for having them,

"Also, thanks so much for saving me back there...Aron...Senku...".

Afterwards, she had stopped telling her flashback. Her foot had already released its hold on Aron's foot. The air was back to normal. Then, she said with great praise to Aron and Senku who were drinking whiskey,

"That's how you two became hero G.o.ds after that, just by saving me from the angry people.".

Aron whistled, as he was very stunned of hearing that said incident,

"Until this day, I still can't believe I became a Hero G.o.d through that.".

Senku responded and added some more info,

"Not just because of that, since we were also heroes in other worlds before.".

Aron replied,

"Heh! I guess our amazing feats had stacked up then!".

For some reason, Amora was smiling, as she felt their compa.s.sion and gratefulness. Aron ordered another whiskey, since his gla.s.s was already empty. Later on, Zeran gave him another gla.s.s of whiskey. As Amora witnessed that Aron ordered another hard drink, her eyes were filled with terror. She reprimanded Aron later on,

"On another note!".

She pointed her trusty finger at him,

"Stop burning too much of my G.o.dDESS POINTS by drinking lots of whiskey and dating too much girls Aron!".

Aron was a shock for words, since he doesn't know how to respond back. Senku was laughing hard, as he saw that Aron was being scolded by Amora. Though, Amora didn't let Senku off-the-hook as well, so he got the same treatment too,

"You too Senku, stop craving and gourging too much pizzas.".

Then, she banged her head on the wooden table, while she was feeling lots of regrets,

"Ugh! I shouldn't have linked my account with the two of you just because you were both newbies, as being hero G.o.ds before...".

The two hero G.o.ds fell silent, as Amora shot out bullets from her mouth, such as she was a mother who had reprimanded her children. Zeran just didn't mind their business. Suddenly, Amora's smartphone vibrated. Thereon, she had stopped being hopeless and returned her composure,

"Ahem, If you'll excuse me.".

She stood up and left the place afterwards, slamming the door shut. As Amora's presence gone, Aron and Senku were able to breathe again, such as they were children who were suddenly free from their mother's grasp. Aron wore a smile while, he was looking at his whiskey,

"I guess mom's angry again".

Senku seemed unsure,

"You mean G.o.ddess Amora?".

Aron laughed,

"Who else BWHHHHHA!".

Senku kinda agreed with Aron,

"I guess she's like a mother to us up until now.".

He was deep in his thoughts,

"I'm glad that she's our mother who had never forgotten about us...".

Zeran overheard their conversation about Amora being their so called mother. In turn, he masked a smile of deep grat.i.tude, while he was absorbed in his own thoughts, regarding his own mother,

"Mom huh...it's been a while, since I haven't talk to her. Maybe I'll pay a visit at her smartphone manufacturers company that she owns now.".

For sometime, Aron and Senku were able to relax and drink in their own accord. Even though, Amora had already told Aron about his excessive liquor drinking, he was still stubborn as h.e.l.l. Since, his table was filled with lots of empty gla.s.ses. While for Senku, he was still not finished with his one gla.s.s of whiskey on-the-racks. Soon, Aron started the conversation again,

"By the way, it's been weeks or months already, since we haven't heard of s.h.i.+ro.".

Senku took a sip of his whiskey, although there was nothing left, so he just ate the ice. Then, he responded to Aron's statement,

"Yes, I wonder what happened to him, that CHAOS G.o.d OF MENACING SHADOWS.".

Then, Aron said,

"I guess he's still depressed that mom turned him down gahahaha!".

Soon, Zeran gave him another gla.s.s, although it wasn't filled with whiskey like he had ordered before. Instead, the small gla.s.s was filled with water up to the brim. Aron didn't look furious. Instead he just grinned as he was given a chaser that could lower his chances drunk. A little while later, he let out his words filled with truth,

"By the way, of all the beautiful G.o.ddesses, there's no way I'm gonna desecrate or violate mom.".

Senku agreed with him,

"Same here bro, same here...".

He was deep in his thoughts afterwards,

"I wonder where you are now, s.h.i.+ro?".
