Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 668: Scarlet’s plans begin.
Chapter 668: Scarlet’s plans begin.
In the underworld, four deities surrounded an unchained Esong who was laying on a bed, sleeping. If Scarlet could see him now, she would hardly recognize him. His hair had grown out so long that it almost fell to his feet now. He had grown a thick beard which covered most of his face. His body had grown bigger and he was taller. There were more tattoos on his body than before. He was the same man, but also not the same man.
A spirit monkey was trimming his nails while another washed his body with a liquid that was too white to be water.
The old deity waved a hand over Esong’s body and then he turned to Wisdom and asked. "When is he going to open his eyes? You said that it worked but he has been sleeping like this for two weeks."
"The soul needs to stabilize." Wisdom told the old deity.
The old deity then said to Wisdom, "The council sits tonight and we decide on which dead world we will be fighting this war on. I need the head of my generals awake because we have run out of time. I don’t care what you do, bring him out of his sleep."
"No." Carnelia disagreed loudly.
Lythia grabbed her arm and nodded, asking her to calm down.
"Is there a reason why you both want him in a suspended state of sleep?" the old deity asked them.
"We just don’t want him to have any residual issues from the merger." Lythia answered.
Carnelia then added, "You, haven’t you watched human dramas? What if he is forced to wake up and he suffers from amnesia. What will you do if he cannot remember Scarlet and the children?"
The old deity closed his eyes and controlled his anger which made him want to throttle Carnelia. What kind of stupid answer was she giving him? Was she treating the current events like some kind of human soap opera? Did she not see how urgent the situation was? Did he need to spell the word war out for her?
Even if what she said happened, both Scarlet and Esong were now immortal. They had the rest of eternity to figure out the dynamics of their relationship. The war on the other hand was upon them. He did not have eternity to wait for Nyx now Esong to wake up.
"Wake him up." He ordered Wisdom and he left.
Carnelia and Lythia planted themselves in front of Wisdom.
"We wait until the last possible second." Carnelia insisted.
Wisdom sighed, frustration sweeping over him. These two could try as hard as they wanted but death would have his way eventually. The most he could buy them was a few days and then death would force Esong to wake up. If the council was meeting, then time was up.
"I thought Apo would wait until after Scarlet had given birth but it seems he had grown impatient." he said.
Lythia looked up and said in a frustrated voice. "It’s the angel weed which she keeps planting. It’s as if she is goading him into a fight."
"Can you blame her? He planted a bug next to her husband." Carnelia answered.
The bug was Folsom.
Lythia also knew that Scarlet had done something which made the dead world disappear. If she wasn’t mistaken, Scarlet had erased it. However, the power to erase and entire world, even a dead one could only be found in gods and Scarlet was no god.
She suspected that it was related to her flame, either that or Scarlet was working with another god. That is why she had visited the god of luck who asked her to reap Scarlet’s soul.
It had always been her assumption that he was the one looking out for her. When she met him however, he confessed that he had only been doing a favor for another god and he wouldn’t reveal who it was.
She was very confused right now. Just as it was in the beginning, Scarlet’s affairs were perplexing. Lythia was beginning to believe that it involved the old gods, the ones from whom all of their powers came. She didn’t share this with the others of course. Half baked theories without evidence were useless to everyone.
Back on earth, on the Blue star, the members of the Su family had gathered in the hospital and they were waiting outside a birthing room. All of Mega’s children and her one grandchild Justin were present.
Extraction of a child before natural contractions set in was not difficult, it was a thirty minute procedure in fact and they didn’t need to be here but Mega’s last birthing experience had been a tricky one.
Elroy was pacing even more than Dorian. One would think that he was the expectant father in this picture. "It’s taking too long."
Fey sent him a harsh glare and she said, "It’s been ten minutes you idiot, sit down."
Everyone was nervous but he was making it worse by pacing back and forth.
"Maybe we should talk about something to distract ourselves." Carolyn suggested.
"Great idea." Adler concurred. He looked at Justin who was dosing off in Scarlet’s arms.
His intention had been to ask him about school but those questions would have to be left for later it seemed.
"Gregor, how is school? I heard that there will be an art and science exhibition at your school in four weeks time. Are you participating?"
"Everyone must participate." he replied briefly. "It’s a team project. My friend Jakar and I are doing a series of paintings on the ancestral journey from the Lunar federation. We are painting the spaceships." He turned to Carolyn and said, "Sister princess, can you get us access to the royal museum? It could help if we can see the old ships in person."
"Oh but of course." Carolyn replied. "If your paintings are any good then sell them to the royals."
"Even now you are talking about money." Scarlet sighed and stood up.
She handed Justin off to Fey and stepped away, going to the bathroom. Severus was in there, waiting for her with the other hands.
"Have you cleared the hospital?" she asked them.
Grimm nodded. "No life angels in the building. You can begin with your plan."
"The baby has been born, it’s a boy." Severus told her.
Scarlet snapped her finger and everything froze. She and the hounds teleported into the birthing room. The baby, her new baby brother was in the arms of professor Sham who had personally participated in Mega’s operation.
She retrieved the baby from his hands and smiled down at him. She kissed his cheek and then got a life pod out of her storage.
Into it, she placed the baby and activated it. The baby would be safe in there for as long as one hundred years if need be.
She waved her hand and a phantom of a newly born baby appeared. That baby, she placed in the hands of the doctor.
"It won’t be long now, the council is meeting to decide on a venue and then it begins." Severus said.
Scarlet nodded. She waved her hand and the storage pod went into her space. She teleported out with the hounds and unfroze time.
