Chapter 144 To kill an emperor 6 (1/2)
”I-Info? who's that?”
”oh right it's only me that call her Info, her real name is Information I think?”
Mars shrugged and walked over to the crystal ball and put his hand on it
[SUBJECT NUMBER #5 CONFIRMED, REQUEST DESCEND Y/N?]
Mary shudder from the unfeeling voice that suddenly appeared in her head but before she had a chance to say anything Mars spoke
”yes”
[SENDING REQUEST... REQUEST APPROVED, SCANNING ROOM FOR MORTALS... 1 MORTAL CONFIRMED, SMITE Y/N?]
”....no”
Mars was a little intrigued by the so called smite but decided not to test it on Mary
[SMITING PROTOCOL DISABLED, POWERING UP ISOLATION BARRIER... COMPLETE, SENDING DETAILS TO INFORMATION...]
while they waited Mary suddenly shuddered before she grabbed Mars' arm and asked with a trace of panic in her voice
”isn't Information one of the 13?”
Mars gave a nod
”yeah of course she is, what are you scared?”
”n-no I'm not scared of anything! I'm just a little nervous...”
”don't worry Info is basically my parent she won't hurt you”
”y-your parent!? what are you..?”
Mars gave a grin under the bandages
”a living god”
[DETAILS CONFIRMED BY INFORMATION, STARTING DESCEND...]
”here she comes”
Mars gestured over to the avatar that lay on the altar but then he noticed Mary had trouble breathing as the spreading divine pressure got heavier and heavier soon her knees went weak before she collapsed with Mars just barely managing to catch her at this point the descend was luckily complete and the formless pressure lessened making it so Mary could breathe again, Mars gave a sigh and looked over at the avatar that sat up and opened it's emerald eyes and looked over at Mars with a grin on its face before it asked
”what the fuck is it you have on your face Mars?”
Mars froze, he had not expected Info's first dignified words to contain profanity and hurriedly removed the bandages that covered his face, meanwhile Info had risen from the altar and walked over to them
”my oh my that sure is a cute mortal you found Mars”
”...thanks?”
Info gave a sigh
”so why did you summon me?”
Mars looked up from Mary and looked at Info and noticed she had a frown on her face and asked
”is something wrong?”
Info gave yet another sigh and waved her hand and made a table and some chairs appear before she sat down and leaned her chin on the table, Mars sat Mary in one of the chairs and sat down next to her, then Info finally spoke
”it's just I have been busy cleaning up the cycle of reincarnation the last 15.000 of your years so I'm a little grumpy”
Mars gave a nod, he vaguely remembered something about an older sibling messing around with the cycle of reincarnation last time they spoke
”....is there anything I can do for you Info?”
”....no I'm fine and due for a long holiday soon anyways so what's up?”
Mars looked over at Mary as she was being unnaturally quiet and saw she was pale and hyperventilating
”sorry Info could you tune down the divine pressure? Mary can't take it”
Info closed her eyes for a moment and suddenly her perssense weakened substantially making it so May could finally catch her breath and breathe normally again, then she lowered her head
”thank you lady Information”
Info opened her eyes again and gave a smile as she looked over at Mary
”you're Mars' guest, just call me Info”
”o-okay lady Info”
”...well it's better... so what is it you wanted Mars?”
”well I wanted to catch up a little and receive some help”
Info gave a sweet motherly smile and gave a nod
”then let's hear what you have been up to since we saw each other last”
Mars began telling Info about what he had been doing since they had met last without leaving anything out, Mary sat on the side and listened in with great interest soon about 15 minutes had passed and Mars was finishing his story
”---and that my simple plan”
Mary quickly spoke up before Info had a change to
”wait wait! are you planning on killing the emperor because there's a bounty on your head!?”
Mars gave a small innocent nod
”yeah that was the plan, besides he put that dragon weakening collar on Varvei and that is more than enough for him to die”
”b-but he's the emperor!”
Mars gave a frown and slightly narrowed his eyes
”and I'm the living god of energy, one of 5 living gods currently on Alfan... When I say someone should die, they die”
Mary gave a nod
”I get that but isn't there a simpler way?”
Info gave a sigh and spoke to Mary
”that's how Mars is... he's always been oddly simple in his problem solving, besides I'm no fan of that emperor myself...”
Mary gave a nod
”is it because he's a otherworlder lady Info?”
”no, it's because of the policies he is implementing...”
Mars looked over at Info and asked
