Chapter 49
The three ladies stood at the top of the steps silently, watching Zero as he cried . At first, Zero didn't know that there were guests but as they approached him, the brunet's sobs decreased . For some reason, those three ladies felt very familiar but Zero knew he hadn't met them before .
"Greetings Zero, we have been expecting you," the lady in white greeted .
Zero stopped crying at once . Mii displayed the lady's name and status, deeming her to be a threat but Zero told Mii to calm down . He knew this lady as well as her sisters .
"I'm sorry, I know we haven't met but I think I know you . I just can't remember your name . "
The lady in white smiled . "It's alright, Zero . We've waited for a long time to reunite with you . I'm Murvin, the Divine Entity of Kindness . This is my sister, Law, the Divine Entity of Acceptance in yellow and Isaben, the Divine Entity of Trust, in lilac . We came to pass the word that Nel, the Divine Entity of Hope, is waiting for your return . After you reach Earth, please look for her . She is safekeeping something of importance on behalf of Great One for you . "
The brunet blinked . From the vague memory fragments, he remembered who they were . These three ladies were actually divine entities his past self created . They were the three flower sisters who resided silently on a cliff in heaven while the others disappeared . Nel was the last divine entity he'd created and Mii took initiative to make a note about finding her . It was called a quest according to the system .
The Great Gods cancelled the summoning spell to witness the three divine entities interact with Zero . Even though they lived for a long time, they had never seen a divine entity before . Occasionally, some news about divine entities like Gugu and Venn will surface but they never had the chance to meet a divine entity personally . In fact, nothing was known about them except how they were once part of the Great One . While Great Gods were greatly feared and respected because they were personally created by the Great One, they weren't more powerful than divine entities who were a fraction of the Great One .
When divine entities fought, it was nothing like a war between gods and humans . Universes can collapse, worlds can be eradicated and armies can be created with a blink from any divine entity . However, as all divine entities were created from a part of Great One, there was no entity that was superior . Instead of fighting against each other with strength, some opted to fight using their wits in a complicated game of chess using the most unpredictable species called humans .
In the process, the first Earth was destroyed but the newbie god that humans created triggered Zero's awakening and created a replica of the destroyed planet . Gods, monsters, demons alike tried to prevent the divine entities from corrupting this new world . Magic was introduced along with faith . The fight over faith and territory among the races made the Great Gods forget about divine entities for a long while until the three sisters appeared .
Looking at the three ladies, none of the Gods moved . Although they didn't think that the three sisters would harm Zero, they didn't exactly trust them .
On the other hand, Zero welcomed the sisters as they embraced him and took turns to kiss him on his cheeks before vanishing into thin air .
The moment they did, a tri-coloured petal symbol glowed on where the sisters kissed before fading away . However, nobody noticed this as they were too focused on looking at the portal to Earth that appeared right before their eyes . It would take a considerable amount of strength for even the Great Gods to open that portal but the divine entities were able to do it in an instant . Nobody knew where they disappeared to but Zero had an inkling they were never coming back .
Mii told Zero that he had recovered the artefact of [Kindness], [Accepance] and [Trust] but their abilities were locked until Mii upgrades . Now that the portal was open with no sign of closing, the Great Gods gave in to their feelings and crowded around Zero in their more human-like forms .
Zero allowed them to crush him in a huge group hug .
"Thank you for taking care of me and teaching me many things . I'm so happy to have met all of you . I'll take good care of the things you've given me . "
While the gods were holding back tears, the goddesses let theirs run free . "Remember to call us ok? Also, please keep close to Truen . Visit us whenever you can!"
Zero blinked . "I can visit?"
En chuckled at the priceless expressions . They had a long way to go, both the Great Gods and Zero .
