Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 671: The fall of one god.

Esong was new to the underworld. He had knowledge which Nyx shared or filled him on but he was making his own judgements as he went along. One thing he had learned so far was that the gods were selfish.

Even when Scarlet was in pain, they were discussing how to use her, talking about the side which would win because of what she was. Did they not care that she was bleeding or that her stomach was tearing?

"So much for your gods being helpful Nyx. They are looking out for themselves, as always." He said, in his mind.

A voice replied, "That is why we have been going around convincing the council for the last one week to give us chance to plead our case. The gods cannot be counted on often, they tend to show up at the last minute and play savior.

If they won’t help, then we have to do this ourselves. Get on top of the bed and help her or let me take control and do it."

Now that they had merged, they could take turns controlling the body. They could also communicate, and Nyx had chosen to let Esong do the driving most of the time. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Have you ever helped a female reaper give birth before?" Esong asked him.

"No, but I have watched hounds give birth." Nyx replied.

"She is not a hound. Are you stupid?" Esong responded.

"Don’t call me stupid you stupid human." Nyx answered.

"Well you and I are one so guess who is the stupid human if I am a stupid human?" Esong replied.

The two were still working out their differences and this meant a lot of arguing. It also meant that Esong’s eyes were constantly going back and forth from black to red.

Scarlet suddenly roared and the house trembled. It wasn’t just the house, but the underworld as well. Everything moved as if an earthquake was passing through and on the demon bone mountain, a bone shifted, creating a gap for one sharp eyed demon to escape before the gap could be closed.

On the bed Scarlet was sitting up and she was taking matters into her own hands by pulling the children out of her stomach physically.

Arcissa was afraid of the flames but she couldn’t help feeling sorry for Scarlet. The kind of pain she was enduring was not one that could be numbed. So, she careful lowered a bowl filled with a black liquid in front of Scarlet.

"Drink, it will help with the pain and settle the children down."

As long as they kept moving around in there, she would be in pain. If they relaxed however, they could pulled out with her power even from a distance.

"No." Scarlet slapped the bowl away and the black liquid was splashed on the faces of the goddesses. Breathing heavily, she said, through gritted teeth. "I will not be drugged so that she can steal my child while I am unconscious."

"That is not what I am doing." Arcissa told her.

"You are not her." Scarlet replied. Her sharp eyes burned into the goddess of fate. "I can smell her dirty intentions. I will warn you right now, I am not hesitant about killing a god. If you come close to me or my child, I will burn down every string in your realm and make sure that you cease to exist. The fall of one god doesn’t end humanity. Many like you have gone missing, and yet the universe continues on."

Then, she roared and got on to her knees, bending slowly and circulating her powers. She started soothing the children with her powers as she moaned like a beast in pain.

When Esong saw what she was doing, he used his powers to help, running his hand over her back in a soothing movement.

"We should help her." Lythia said.

"We can’t touch her, flames, hello!!" An exasperated Carnelia raised her hands and pointed to the obviously green flames that encircled Scarlet.

"We don’t need to go close, let’s help from where we are." Lythia told her.

A candle appeared in her hand and she lit it. Carnelia’s eyes widened and she lit one as well. The strong smell of cinnamon wafted around the room, permeating in every corner.

"What’s that?" Croaked out.

"Reaper children cannot resist the smell of cinnamon. This will entince them to come out." Lythia said.

Then, Lythia and Carnelia joined hands and started chanting. They created a bubble of sorts around Scarlet.

Carnelia looked at Scarlet and she said, "With your flame, we can only hold the sacred circle of peace for a few minutes so we must be quick. The children will come out willingly if they feel safe. They have been reacting to your anxiety and fear. Try to relax so that they can relax as well."

Scarlet clenched her teeth and nodded. Although, how they expected her to relax when that fate of a bitch was watching her like a hawk was beyond her.

She couldn’t tell the hounds to get rid of her because they couldn’t defeat her. Lythia and Carnelia wanted her on their side in the war and Nyx had made a deal with her. None of them would ne helpful in getting rid of her right now.

"I must bide my time as well, if she moves, I move." Scarlet thought to herself.

So, she did as requested and tried to relax. First, she took a deep breath, and then another and another. Gentle music being played from a flute rushed into her ears. She turned her head and saw Esong_, well, with red eyes it was Nyx playing the flute.

"The first one is coming out." Arcissa announced.

Scarlet could feel something moving out of her body, being pulled outwards with a gentle force. The force also came from inside of her, as something was pushing.

Something slipped out from her body and that’s when Scarlet’s eyes fell on her first baby. Arcissa was moving it gently with her powers, lowering it on the bed. But then, she stopped and the look on her face changed.

"They are sharing one cord." Arcissa announced. "They must all come out at the same time. I know that this is going to hurt but you must grit your teeth and endure since you made a choice to stay alert."

"Shit!" Carnelia cursed. "That’s what you stole from Apo isn’t it Nyx? You stole the seed cord of a newly born life angel."

The flute stopped playing and many eyes turned to Nyx.

"I did." Nyx admitted. "And you must bury it in the tree of death before anyone is the wiser otherwise all I suffered will be for nothing."

"What were you thinking?" Lythia bellowed out sharply.

Arcissa said in a light sharp voice, "Anxiety...,everyone let’s not ruin the good thing we have going on here. Mama Scarlet needs to push."

In a soft voice that was meant to be soothing, Nyx warned the two underworld goddesses, "You better stand with us this time and bury the cord with your own hands otherwise you will lose us all. Every last natural born reaper will pay a visit to the temple of the old gods and ask to be erased."
