45 A Deformed Cheshire (2/2)

”Kill me. Like, right now?”

”YES!! You want it that bad!? ”

”Try then.”

”You better be ready, you! G--GAHHHHH! TSK, What is this! Why can't I move!”

Failing to break the self-made chains, he felt anguish. He tried to defy my binding ability with all of his fragile strength, but little did he know that the more he struggles, the more pressure build-up will be and the more aggressive the chains become. If the case with Zen was like having been under strong gravitational force, this one would feel like, your entire body would be dismembered as you try to struggle for freedom.

”Cheshire...HELP ME, YOU USELESS DEITY!” The youngster shouted in desperation. Cheshire? That's a magical cat, right? That's supposed to be a deity? Such a putrid taste.

”You know 'pitiful older brother', My deity is somewhat overpowered as we are still on this island. Why? You probably don't know this but, the deities have their own ranks, and yours probably belong to the lowest of the low. It was a very wrong move for you to assume that you're the most powerful right now...But, you killed someone. So I should have the right to also give you 'advanced judgment right? After all, there's no way you're surviving out there with that mischievous and nonchalant character. ” I frivolously stated. With the self-sharpened ink scythe, I started to move closer as the chains continue to hold him up.

”What are you trying to do?”

”Oh, don't worry...Do you see how you cut the legs of the man? It's an obviously interesting clean cut. Tell me, how did you do it”

”Tsss...And why should I answer you?!”

”Hmmm. I believe that you already know the answer right? Just play along now.”

”I- I used a ce-ceramic knife.” with pounding heartbeats, the boy answered.

”Oh, a ceramic knife eh? Aren't you curious how it should have felt if you were on his shoes? I think I should probably give you a brief overview...And, I'm curious too... How a self-centered brat like you would look like after having his legs removed from its main terminal. 'Older brother' would you be my guinea pig?” I said in a very callous manner on the helpless enchained minor.

Well, it is his fault anyway. I have had enough of dealing with newly-met exotic personalities that turned out to be Herrschers. Deities really have a weird criterion on choosing their vessel.

I then got my black scythe ready to unmedically amputate his right leg. But, before that, it would be a problem if he screams now. I should probably do something about that.

”Huh, wait WHA-WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?”

”Silence”

Unable to defy my own commands, his mouth shutter as he fretted for his dear foot's survival. But then...

”Wait!”A voice which seemed capricious then sounded on the background...

And there appeared the unexpected...A cat?

A cat showing only half of its body drifting mid-air...A very scary-looking one. His mouth extended to both of its cheeks with sharp teeth all being sharp fangs, and its big eyes blue as the deep ocean. Fur stripped with ash-gray and black. It is almost like Cheshire Cat from Alice in the Wonderland, except its facade, is even more devious and could scare any Alice that should have already met him vis-a-vis. And its face is something straight out from a horror movie. An undoubtedly more deformed version of the Cheshire Cat that almost everyone knows.
