594 The Many-Eyed Havoc, The Trouble Mark Caused This Time (1/2)
Mark stared at Fourth with his eyes half-closed from fatigue. Not only was he too tired to respond to her, but he also did not know what expression he should show in this situation. It was entirely unexpected that she would appear here right now. Comparing the previous circumstances, he completely fused with Freed's Psychic ability, or when Chiyo, the Night Everred Spirit Tree, was born, he believed that the events this time was more discreet.
”HEY! I'm talking to you!”
Fourth approached Mark in an agitated manner since he was not replying to her.
”Can you pipe it down? I'm tired.”
Mark complained, making the girl speechless.
”I know I should feel amused that you can actually talk to someone like me that way. But right now, I can't!”
Fourth was raising her small voice.
”Did you know that you caused the flow of energy to become unstable for several hundred-miles!!! Do you know where I came from before I got here?! I'm in Indonesia, and I finally found another eligible candidate! But I had to stop meeting her immediately because I saw that lightning strike, soaring in the sky all the way from this place!”
Mark was quite surprised after hearing that. He remembered that there were some streaks of lightning shooting off from his body earlier, but he never expected that those were able to reach other countries.
”But that's only lightning.”
Mark reasoned.
”Only lightning, you said? ONLY LIGHTNING?! YOU SAY THAT HUNDREDS OF LIGHTNING BOLTS AT A TRIBULATION STRENGTH SOARING THE SKY ONLY LIGHTNING!”
Fourth was definitely agitated. As she shouted her concerns, even the temperature in the surroundings was getting colder.
”So, are you going to kill me?”
Mark suddenly asked with his half-closed stare.
That question, however, made Fourth freeze.
”I-I-I...”
Fourth was at a loss for words. She was agitated, but she did not have that intention. Instead, she was worried.
”What are you worried about then?”
Mark asked another question, which made Fourth even more silent. She did not expect that he could tell what she was feeling.
And then, with deep breaths and her vertical eyes blinking, she asked Mark.
”What kind of God are you aiming for?”
That question suddenly came out of nowhere, making Mark unable to reply.
”I'm sure you already know the potential you and your partner have, right? The potential to step into the realm of Deities or even become Gods. Then tell me. What kind of God are you aiming for.”
With those words, Fourth stepped even closer.
Mark's half-closed eyes fully opened. That was unexpected information from this girl in front of him.
Still...
”God of Chaos? That doesn't sound bad at all.”
Fourth's eyes opened wide.
”Y-YOU! Do you know what you are saying?”
”What? That's the issue here. I don't know what you are talking about at all. If you are talking about a Primeval God, I don't think there would be any issues. But I guess you are talking about a literal Chaotic God. Either way, I'm fine with any of the two.”
Fourth stared at Mark, stumped. She was feeling amused at Mark but troubled at the same time.
With a sigh, she started to explain.
”I'm talking about the literal one, The Deities, and Gods of Chaos. There's very few in Earth's history and literature, but they do exist in other universal dimensions. And they were among the most hated kinds of Gods.”
Hearing up to that, Mark smiled.
”I guess I can see your point there. Chaos... unpredictable and unstable. Am I right?”
Mark's words made Fourth nod.
”Deities and Gods of Chaos wield powerful abilities over different elements in existence. You can say that they were strong enough to sit just below Deities and Gods of Creation. But still, because of their chaotic nature, no one could predict their course of action. In a tick, they could be good Deities and Gods, but in another step, they might turn evil.”
”Well, that's just perfect for me, don't you think?”
Mark asked.
”Y-YOU! ARGH! I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!”
Mark's question made Fourth start to throw a tantrum.
But then...
”Fourth, you are being unsightly again.”
A strict-sounding female voice sounded as someone's existence slowly solidified in Mark's detection.
Mark raised his head while Fourth turned behind her in a startle.
”Third! What are you doing here?!”
Fourth exclaimed.
Several meters above the mountain, a woman wearing a black Kimono floated like a ghost. She had white hair and blue eyes that shined even under the sun. Like Fourth, she had three eyes on her face, but it was unexpectedly arranged in a way that one would expect of someone having a third eye. She had a cold expression on her face as if she was an embodiment of strictness.
And to Fourth's question, the woman replied.
”And why won't I be? Remember whose area of jurisdiction is above yours?”
Fourth could not retort at all. The Eye in charge of East Asia was Third, after all. And considering the situation, there was no actual need to ask why she was here.
It was obviously because of Mark.
”I came to check where the disturbance is coming from, and I found the lead going to your area of jurisdiction. There is no rule for us no not enter other's territory so I kept on going. It is quite unexpected for me to see you here, though.”
”Rrrrr...”
Fourth stared at Third with subtle groaning from her mouth.
That was when Third's eyes fell on Mark.
”Care to tell me what THAT is?”
Sure enough, Mark's existence also intrigued her.
”It's none of your concern! GO HOME!”
Fourth shouted. It seemed that the little girl did not have close connections with this woman.
Hearing that, Third frowned.
”As usual. You don't have any ounce of beauty at all.”
”That's none of your business!!!”
