Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 254 It Wasn’t Me?
"(What about things on your side? Since you regressed as well, can you tell me how things fared on your side?)" Theia asked as she observed me with a curious look in her eyes and I smiled before speaking.
"(Still have that stamina in me. I am eating good as-)"
-Bam!
She hit me hard on my head, throwing me to the ground before she spoke with an irritated sound,"(can you be serious for a moment? That carefree attitude is going to make someone kill you someday and me being probably the first one)"
She spoke as she glared at me before I spoke,"(would love to be killed by such a beautiful Goddess, but sorry dear, I already have a lot of things on my plate here.)" And out of habit, I gave her a wink at which she glared at me before…
"Pfft… hahahahaha… hahaha.. (You bastard! You never change, huh? Hahahaha!!! Man, how long has it been that I had bickered like this… damn it Reaper… I missed you)" she spoke as she caught her breath and I saw her sitting on the ground with a cheerful smile as she wiped her tears and I looked at her with a smile similar to hers.
"(Well, the Parasites are coming earlier than before so I thought I should grab my weapon from here,)" I told her my intentions as I sat beside her and saw the rest of the people looking at us with a curious gaze.
"(Yeah. Sorry about that. I shouldn't have done that,)" spoke Theia as she looked at me with a slight apologetic expression and I turned at her with my eyes widening a bit as I observed her with a questioning expression.
"(What do you mean by that?)" I asked with a deep voice and she immediately shut her mouth for a bit before she looked at my face and then turned her head to the side,"(Nice weather, isn't it?)"
"(Theia, answer me! Just what did you do?)" I asked again with my eyes turning more serious every moment and she gulped a little before she spoke,"(Reaper… you are scaring me.)" I just kept observing her with the same look as before and soon enough, she spoke,
"(Well… when a decade passed by, of me waiting and doing nothing but increasing my power… I actually went to the outside world once… and I kind of killed a bunch of Parasites… more like an entire battalion. I thought they would be weaker now, so striking would be a viable option. At least I could take a bunch of their power out… you know, for the sake of a better future and stuff… and then when I came back. I found a Parasite worm on my back.
Since I had the Energy of Life with me, it didn't affect me, but this gave up my location… though I had a gut feeling that they would be moving towards me and might arrive anytime.)"
I looked at her for a few moments as I pondered over her words and then asked,
"(When did you kill that parasite worm attached on your back?)" 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
"(About a month back… it wasn't even visible before that. I guess it took almost a decade to grow on its own… as soon as I saw it, I freaked out so much that I killed it without any second thought. Only to realise that it can trace itself back and find my current location… I am really sorry Reaper… I… I shouldn't have done that)" She spoke with a scared yet apologetic expression and I could only sigh at this.
-Thud
I fell on the ground as my body relaxed a little
"So it wasn't me, huh?" I spoke out with a wave of relief washing over me as I actually started doubting my own methods. Though, it doesn't change the fact that I still have to fight those Parasites earlier than before… however… pan(da-n0vel.c)om
"But… If you are with me… haha… hahahahaha….. Man, this couldn't get better than this!!! Pfft hahahahahahaha," I laughed sinisterly making everyone look at me with a really strange gaze but I couldn't contain my laugh anymore.
"If they are coming to Netherrealm… they are in for a damn f*cking surprise…. Oh, my god… I could only imagine what expression would that person be making, who will be leading those Parasites," I spoke loudly as I just grinned evilly before turning at Theia as I spoke,
"(Darling, I think I am going to fall in love with you for the door of choices you have opened for me.)"
Hearing my words, Theia took a dozen steps back before she took out her spear and then pointed at me with a scared expression as she spoke.
"(J-just what are you p-planning to do with m-me?)"
I chuckled at her words before speaking,"Can you understand this language?"
She looked at me and nodded,"Y-yeah… learned it when I was in Planet Vermillion," before she lowered her weapon a bit and I turned to the group of people who arrived with me.
"Well, I guess you guys must be wondering what is going on here… though before that I think you should receive her blessing or else the Death Energy might kill you sooner or later," I spoke as I turned to Theia and continued,"Darling, can you see to it?" She looked at me for a few moments before nodding and then speaking. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂
"[Blessing of Light: Protect the fledglings from the Dark Corners]"
And a bright light began shining down on my friends who arrived here with me and I nodded in thanks at Theia, at which she smiled with slight pride at her work.
"This is Theia, an old enemy turned friend of mine. I know she looks really good with all that looks and stuff, but please watch out cause she bites really deep, and may cut you in-"
-Bam!
Theia attacks me with a furious look on her face as she then turns to my friends and spoke,
"You can call me Theia. I am the Goddess of Life and Light. This might not be the exact place for a vacation spot, but please do enjoy your stay here. If you need anything, you can call me."
I heard Theia as my face was buried under the ground with her feet still above my head and I spoke,"you have changed, Theia. Previously, you would just kill them without any warning or anything."
"You should be the last one saying that… tell me Reaper just what prompted you to attempt that suicide? I didn't think the Reaper I knew was as weak as that," she spoke with her voice turning heavier every moment.
I stood up to look at the people watching with a slight blank expression as they heard Theia's words before turning at me and I sighed before speaking,"well… that huh… "
