Scarblade Goddess 62 Chapter 61

At the villa of the hero G.o.d Senku at h.e.l.lion realm to be exact, Senku and Mara were having dinner at the enigmatic yet, seeped in romance dining hall. The place was only reserved for the two of them somehow. Fragmented crimson petals were everywhere as the two were having dinner with candle light. Looking at the brilliant solar-colored hair Mara closely, her effeminate essence oozed even more. As she was wearing a one-shoulder velvet midnight dress. More so, she was eating steak and ceasar salad, complemented with red wine. While for her partner, Senku was wearing a tuxedo in which he looked even more sophisticated. Although, Senku wasn't eating his meal, rather he was just fiddling his phone. It's as if he wasn't interested to have a date with Mara to begin with. In turn, she had a fiery stare, since she wasn't satisfied with Senku's company. Soon enough, she had stopped eating her cla.s.sy meal and started a conversation,

"Tell me master, why did you help Otorine and Yumine from their dire situation they were in?".

Senku looked uninterested and swiped his phone,

"It's none of your business Mara. But here's the only thing I could say, it's to give them a glimpse of hope before, the CALL OF OMEGA begins...".

Then, he said more,

"To accept the whole truth going on at Celestia Heavens...".

Though, in his twisted yet, straightforward thoughts, he was delving deeper,

"This is also for your sake, my G.o.ddess Lilieth and Ori...".

Mara made a convinced smile,

"I see...For a mere second, I thought that you had a change of mind upon ruling over Celestia Heavens, utilizing the powers of Distortion bestowed upon you...".

There after, Mara took a short sip of her wine seeped in the color of blood. Senku took a glance of his medium-rare steak. He was engrossed in his thoughts, regarding what Mara had said previously,

"To be honest, I don't want to rule Celestia Heavens. Rather, I want them to see beyond the chaos that this Distortion had been causing, to open their divine minds...".

He sighed and put down his smartphone to relieve his tensions. Mara told through her eyes that his food was getting cold. Thereupon, he took a slice of his steak and ate it. Afterwards, he started another conversation with Mara once again, regarding a different matter,

"I must remind you Mara, Distortion isn't here to be used for pure destruction. Instead, it's to let them realize something.".

He sighed and told more,

"Also, did I not tell you before, not to step into Otorine's and Yumine's world before and cause a ruckus there...even INDIRECTLY?".

As she heard Senku was forceful and angry upon slicing his steak, Mara just nodded and replied with her sincere and composed words,

"Yes, that is true master...and I dearly apologize for stepping out of line...".

Then, she ate another forkful of salad. The air was subtle as neither of them uttered a word for a while. Though, Mara was still having doubts with her master Senku. Her eyes took notice of Senku's smartphone's screen on top of the table. The screen was showing a picture of G.o.ddess Lilieth, Otorine, Yumine, and Amora for some reason. As Senku was done eating his desired meal, he took his phone again but, she witnessed that he was having a smile of relief somehow. In turn, Mara had her doubts once again, in her thoughts,

"Did master had a change of heart?".

Mara put her utensils down and held her hands, while she was looking at her date straight in the eye seriously,

"Tell me master, are you unwilling to forego with your ideals?".

Senku just closed his eyes and made a tricky smile,

"It's your call Mara...".

Mara just responded with a cold expression,

"I see...thank you for the meal, master...".

She stood up and left through the door. Although, she slammed the wooden door with a bang that made Senku to be very startled. Senku scratched his head as his woman left suddenly,

"Is she mad?".

"What do you think?",

an effeminate cla.s.sy yet, calm voice came from nowhere. Senku held his forehead and he s.h.i.+fted his eyes to the corner near the door,

"Sigh...is peeking into other people's private life on of your hobbies? Our Celestia G.o.ddess Queen Weissia?".

That sudden moment, the atmosphere was frozen in silence and time turned stagnant. A swirling ball of light was appearing at the corner. As soon as it reached its highly condensed state. It burst out and the regal platinum-haired Weissia had emerged from the white starburst. She didn't went near Senku but, she just leaned on the wall and crossed her arms. It appeared Senku was right on the money. He took a sip of his blood wine and asked her,

"Also, what's your reason upon coming here? I'm guessing it's not ice cream...".

Weissia just replied complacently with a calm tone,

"I'm just here to tell you that...the CALL OF OMEGA draws near...".

Senku held his hands above each other,

"Yes, I understand...As I'm one of OMEGA'S CHOSEN DESTROYER this time around.".

Weissia told her regards,

"Best of luck, great hero...and I'm sorry as well...".

Sooner or later, Weissia vanished and left without a single trace. In turn, Senku was left all alone. The air mellowed down as Weissia's highly presence was gone. Senku was filled with frustrations and gritted his teeth,

"F*CK THIS DISTORTION!".

He slammed the table with great intensity and the table had shattered into million fragments. Not only that, everything was scattered up to the corners. His hands gripped his head tight as if he was almost going mad. He stood up with immense confusion and leaned on the wall. Then, he cried with all his got, as he was mixed with guilt, hatred, and madness,

"WHY MUST I BE THE CHOSEN ONE! WHY DOES IT HAD TO BE ME! I HATE THIS FATE OF MINE!".

He smacked the wall with his left hand and left out a huge crack. Soon, he had stopped las.h.i.+ng out his burning wrath and confessed with a mournful and regretful look,

"I'm sorry Liliath, Yumine, Ori, Na.s.sus, and Amora, my G.o.ddess mom...".

He expressed more and more,

"I don't want to hurt all of you to be really honest...It's just I'm the wretched chosen one...".

As soon as he left out another sorrowful crystal tear, he raised his head above and asked for a miracle,

"Please save me...my beloved G.o.ddess, Lilieth...".

It seemed the mastermind himself doesn't really want to hurt anyone in truth. Rather, he had no other choice for some reason. Thereon, the only thing he could do was to cry for hope and despair deep inside.

Meanwhile, in Otorine's situation, she was with Yumine and Lilieth at Ru's mysterious bar designated at Celestia Heavenly mall. Although, it wasn't very mysterious now. Since, Yumine was expressing her boredom,

"SOOOOO BOOOOOORING...".

Otorine asked her,

"What's wrong Yumi?".

Yumine took a gla.s.s of water. Then, she explained while she was looking-like she had nothing else to do for some reason,

"First, they said that there will be no more fantastic world jumping. Second, my only online game is on 24 HOUR MAINTENANCE. Third, we were told to go on standby for the time being. Not only that, we were given a 1 week suspension in order for our people's lives to stabilize without us directly interfering their ways. Though, we can still monitor of what's going on in our world from time to time.".

While for Lilieth, she just listened or kinda ignored Yumine's ramblings. As she was finished swallowing a scoop of her cookies and cream ice cream milk float. She suggested something to Yumine non-chalantly,

"Well, why don't you do your other hobbies then?".

Yumine made a forced smile,

"about that...".

Lilieth just a.s.sumed, rolling her eyes down,

"Let me guess, you don't have any other hobbies than catching the attention of guys and playing games right?".

There after, Yumine felt guilty of herself and just replied like an obedient and depressed little girl,

"Ye-yea, that's true...".

Lilieth just made a depressing sigh. Though, soon enough, her index finger was touching her luscious lips, as she was guessing something in her thoughts. Otorine decided to suggest something as well,

"How about eating new and unique food?".

Yumine just made a crept-out smile and gesture,

"Sorry Ori, but I'm gonna pa.s.s on that...maybe someday?".

Otorine responded back complacently,

"Okay?".

Then, she ate another piece of a high-quality quail's egg coated in chocolate brown breading that looked-like a squishy boiled egg of mystery. Suddenly, Lilieth hatched an idea. She spilled the beans with an energetic look, while her finger was pointing up,

"Hey I know! Why don't we play...G.o.dDESSES FRAGMENT WHEEL!",

Both Yumine and Otorine were very much dumbfounded by Lilieth's idea. Thereon, Yumine asked,

"Uhhh, what's that?".
