48 CHAPTER 48: My Alternate punishmen (2/2)
”A world governed by three divine forces...instead of two...”.
Zeran was quite dumbstruck, as he heard the words beyond his human understanding, since the coined term was very fresh to his ears, even though he was a veteran of divine information such as these. Soon, the agent from the heavens shifted his head to look at the confused Zeran and said,
”Then what about you dark hero Zeran?”.
”Since you have defeated the outrageous hero Nassus...”
”What kind of punishment do you want for him?”.
He was quite alarmed, as he heard the statement of the divine agent upon adding Nassus into the mix. Zeran closed his eyes and he was in his thoughts, deciding on what he shall request from the angelic agent. Sadly, he's still undecided even though, a few moments had already passed, turning the whole atmosphere to become tense, as the vibes of his decision were in critical peril. He opened his eyes and noticed that Otorine, Shunya and the three other Goddesses were now seen sitting at the distant benches. Their crystal-like eyes looked very scarred and lifeless amplified by masks of deep sorrow, since they looked-like they were still feeling the shackles of Nassus's chains. Though, Otorine didn't look the same as the other four, instead she was shunning her face away from Zeran's sight. Thereupon, he nodded with conviction in his eyes, as he said,
”His punishment would be...”
”To release all of the Goddess wives he has...”
”Not only that, he won't be able to take them anymore...”.
After Zeran released his judgement for Nassus, the Goddesses at the benchwarmers felt that their restricting shackles were all suddenly released from their bodies. They were now wearing hopeful faces blended in sweet glee. Shunya was jumping in joy, while she was holding hands with another Goddess such as she was a happy little girl. Ru also wore a smile of deep gratitude, as her beloved Zeran released her Goddess colleagues from their plight, turning her to praise him in her thoughts,
(”Now they are free...thank you Zera...”).
Sadly, for Otorine's sake she just left out a weak smile, while she was looking down in deep sorrow. Then, she stood up and walked out to the nearest exit, while she was leaving out frozen crystal tears like a saddened maiden for some reason. Zeran was quite puzzled over Otorine's reaction since her reaction was quite different from the rest of her band of Goddesses, making him to be in his deep thoughts for a second,
(”Huh? Why isn't Otorine happy?”).
Sooner or later the positive energetic vibes had calmed down. The agent from the heavens asked another question to Zeran,
”Second, what kind of reward are you hoping for since you saved...not only the world...not one but, three Goddesses this time?”.

He sighed and shut his eyes once again. Strange thing is, he was now masking himself in a grinning smile of deep interest, since he's about to receive his personal reward, turning him to delve in his thoughts,
(”So I get a reward too huh...”)
(”Then It's time to do this...”).
He let out his words in a calm manner at first,
”The reward I want is...”.
Then, he paused for a few seconds, to give intrigue to the rising mystery in the air. Suddenly, he opened his gleaming eyes of seething determination and exclaimed with all of his pent-up energy, while he was pointing at Ru,
”THE HAND IN MARRIAGE OF THE DARK GODDESS RU!”.
Ru was widely surprised and twitched her foxy ears once, as she heard his powerful demand. Shunya, Mai, Arseia and the rest of the other Goddesses were all astunned over Zeran's bravery and straightforwardness upon his request for Ru's hand in marriage. There after, Shunya and the distant Goddesses were wooing and whistling for Zeran's daring request, it's as if they were excited in this turn of events, leaving their graceful selves behind for the meantime. Arseia nodded with a smile, as she was kinda proud over her son's conviction in his words. Though, the angelic agent just made a positive grin and asked Ru,
”How about you dark Goddess Ruhime...would you like to take on this offer?”.
The strange thing is, Ru didn't respond to Zeran's offer, but she was wearing a sarcastic smile on her face, since she couldn't believe her foxy ears had heard, turning the air to become silent and made the other Goddesses to stop their energetic actions, instead they had doubtful murmurs that Ru doesn't like his offer. Suddenly, Ru cracked out a sinister smile of a demonic woman that would strike fear to any gullible man. Then, she had a hilarious laugh, reaching out from her lungs, while her palm was feeling her forehead,
”Ahahahahahaha!”
”Geez Zera are you trying to kill me or what?”
”My hand in marriage?”
”Tell me you're joking right?”.
Zeran replies,
”Err...you don't like it?”.
Afterwards, Ru went near him and held his chin with her flawless hand such as she was visage in the mysterious darkness. Then, she looked at him direct in the eye and said with her tone of a temptress,
”Ohhhhh no Zera...”
”I love it...”.
She leapt away and floated above the high ground such as she was a superior being to him. Then, she brought out her stainless kitchen knife and magical butterfly sniper that coated the whole form into a truly powerful dark Goddess. Afterwards, she exclaimed her words to her dear Zeran,
”But it won't be that EASY...”
”To win me, you'll have to prove it to me...”
”MY DARK HERO...”.
She swung her sniper to add intensity in her words. Her negative aura leaked throughout the very place although, her vibe wasn't filled with cold death but instead, her look was filled with eager intent for her beloved Zeran. The other Goddesses looked interested since, they were about to see a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of seeing a hero fighting against a Goddess to prove his love. As for Zeran, he held his chin to calm his nerves, while he was in his deep thoughts,
(”So this is how...Ru responds...”)
(”Interesting...”).
He was looking at Ru with amazing confidence in his smile and Ru nodded with her prideful face of a high ranked Goddess, as she wanted to test his deep love for her. He stanced himself for their divine battle and brought out all of his full arsenal available. Thereon, he revealed his golden claw and casted out,
”BLADE MEMORIA...”
”DA REAZ!”.
The next moment, his vacant hand was already wielding his ever famous signature serpent-like blade. It was seeped in the favorite colors of his beloved Goddess, as the gemstones and theme was a mix of amethysts and black. Moreover, he said to her in response,
”THEN I'LL JUST PROVE IT TO YOU!
”MY DARK GODDESS!”.
Ru blushed with a daring smile, as she saw her own brand of Blade memoria that he had manifested for her. Later, Zeran rushed towards to the high and mighty dark Goddess Ru and commenced their raging battle of a hero and a dark Goddess, although their faces weren't filled with furious intent and bloodshed. Instead, their emotions were fleeting into the waltzing flaming hearts synchronized in the passionate duel. As Mai was seeing the two of them were fighting to their hearts content, she just sighed and said with a relieved look,
”Sigh...these two...”.
”They're unusually perfect for each other...”.
