"I am sorry my master... My ignorant brain does not have any answers" Geneva bowed almost crying.
"Geneva! You have shamed all of us! The master has searched for eons! But you have still failed him... Master, as a fellow servant of Geneva, it gives me great shame to present this "thing" to your esteemed eyes!" Tynon the robot lambasted Geneva as he pointed at the Janitor's Manual.
[E-eons?! I searched for it for eons??? When?! I'm only 199 this year!] Zaldros was confused at his servant's words as he hasn't even been alive for 200 years, let alone eons.
Since Zaldros is a star boy his current biology would be that of a pubescent teenager.
[Ah!] Then Zaldros remembered his earlier overreaction.
["Ha-ha-ha-ha! For eons, I have searched for this. Finally, The Thesarius, Book of Truths has finally fallen into my hands"]
Zaldros wanted to look cool... and so he pretended to have searched for it for a very long time...
[But I was obviously Exaggerating!] Zaldros sighed in his head.
"Bah! It does not matter... Life is a series of disappointments" Zaldros repeated a cool line he heard from an anime he was watching as he looked to the sky.
"Kuk..." [Such magnanimity!] Geneva suddenly started to cry as she mistook his eyes that were trying to avoid theirs so that he wouldn't be found out, for the forlorn eyes of some wise and ancient being who had lost something precious.
"Ma-ma-ma-master..." Tynon's programming suddenly began to malfunction as the robot felt extreme sadness and shame.
"I-I-I-I Go Now!" Tynon dramatically ran off as he couldn't take his master's sadness anymore.
That day Tynon swore to himself [I must find this Therasius! Even if it kills me!]
Seeing Tynon's determination, a fire also lit up within Geneva's heart as she ran off saying:
"Pardon me, master!"
"Uhhhh... sure?" Zaldros was visibly confused but he just thought [Meh, oh well]
Zaldros didn't think they would cause THAT much trouble.
Two solar systems were destroyed on the Zitan Milky Way that evening.
Zaldros went back to his throne as a thought suddenly flashed in his head.
[The Anime!]... He didn't want to miss anime he was watching.
"On the next episode of Tynon's Balls Z"
Sadly for him, it already ended.
"Gah! Noooo... Stupid Geneva..." Zaldros complained in his natural voice as he missed an episode of the anime adaptation of Tynon's epic war saga.
Oh, and the Z in the name stands for Zaldros. The people of the Octagrad add a Z in everything they love. And since the highest-rated anime was Tynon's Balls they added a Z there for the second season.
Sadly, Zaldros was unaware of what the Z stood for as his name was being put next to Tynon's Balls.
"Should I change the entering ceremony?" Zaldros thought as he remembered Geneva doing a 2-hour long dance as part of the ceremony before anyone could enter Zaldros' domain.
[This was the reason I missed Tynon's Balls!] Zaldros complained.
Only Tynon was given the right to enter without the ceremony as he was the Octagrad's Legendary War Hero.
And so only the God of War Tynon was allowed to enter without performing the ceremony.
[Or maybe I should remove the dance altogether...] Zaldros shuddered as he remembered Tynon performing the dance.
Sadly for Zaldros, Tynon still performed the dance out of great respect for his beloved master. Today was an exception though.
It was ok for Zaldros to see a beautiful woman like Geneva dancing. But seeing The God of War perform the dance just gave Zaldros nightmares instead.
Unable to watch his favorite anime, Zaldros decided to do his job instead.
"Stthhh H-hello? Issth the confessssion on Sttthhhhgrr?" A Scythid Alien asked with a sithing voice on the microphone inside a private cubical.
During Zaldros' first years of rule, he had the ingenious idea of putting up private confession rooms where people could confess to their sins without being judged.
Unbeknownst to them, Zaldros was actually sometimes the one listening in on them, instead of a Zaldrosian Priest!
[Kukuku, I'm a genius] Zaldros thought.
"Speak, O sinful one!" The speaker in the cubicle let out a majestic voice which was normal for the priests representing the "great" Zaldros.
"O-oh! Thankgod, whew" The Scythid suddenly spoke normally in fluent English as he sighed in relief.
"If you could speak normally in the first place. Then speak normally!" Zaldros angrily said as the Scythid's heavy accent gave him the creeps... Although some of them CAN speak normally.
"S-sorry... You a priest of Zaldros?" The Scythid asked.
"No..." Zaldros sarcastically replied.
"I-I mean, Stthhh Aygh Ahm Nhormel SyThid (I am normal Scythid)" The Scythid tried to change to his unnatural accent again.
"Of course I am you, Idiot!" Zaldros shouted.
"O-oh God! Don't scare me like that! You know it's embarrassing for a Scythid to have no accent... They'll call me Clear Voiced Barry again" The Scythid cursed its fate as a fluent speaker of the universal language.
"Is that your confession?" Zaldros went back to his faked majestic voice.
"N-no... It's actually... I actually..."
*Sigh* The Scythid sighed in great guilt.
"Used the mighty one's name... I mean I didn't mean to do it ya know! I promise!
It's just that I was so excited, coz I won a limited edition Tynon figurine! which made me just so excited that I shouted PRAISE ZALDROS! O-oh shit I did it again! I'm sorry, father! I'm an unworthy sinner! May the Scythid perish and I burn in a thousand hells for my transgressions!" The Scythid spoke in an American-like accent.
"Woah Woah Woah, relax... A limited Tynon Figurine... you say?" Zaldros' eyes shined.
"Yeah, it's my most prized possession. I plan to make it my family heirloom!" The Scythid proudly proclaimed.
"I even already sold my family's Scythia Diamond. I mean who cares about some crystalized carbon said to be inhabited by my family's ancestors. Sounds like a load of bull to me, if you catch my drift"
"Yes, yes I don't care. Let's talk more about that "figurine" you were talking about"
"Ah yes..." The Scythid continued its story.
"I see... In order for the mighty one to forgive your sins, you must give up what is Most Dear to you!" Zaldros spoke majestically.
"O-oh I see, my life?" The Scythid asked.
"No... You're figurine!" Zaldros evilly proclaimed.
"NO... NO... Not my Zaldros figurine..." The Scythid was devastated.
"It was even a figurine of the Mighty One!" The Scythid cried.
"W-what?! It's not a figurine of Tynon... OR... Gehehe Geneva-chan?" Zaldros' otaku persona came out.
"What?! Why would I give up my life on some toy... No, if the Great One truly wishes for it. Then I have no choice..." The Scythid sighed.
"Well, if it's not the limited bikini figurine model of Geneva-chan, then I-... I mean The Great One is not interested. Your life will do"
"YES! O THANK GOD! Praise the Mighty One! Thank you, father!"
"Yes yes, now go! For you are free of your sins!" Zaldros proclaimed.
"Oh yeah, How many of my lives should I sacrifice?" The Scythid asked.
"One will do" Zaldros answered. The Scythid were an insectoid race who lived on the second planet of the Octagrad. They are known for their great speed and stealthy abilities and for their race's 9 lives.
"Thank you father, I'll go now! Just you wait, my Geneva limited edition body pillow! Daddy's coming" The Scythid merrily exited the cubicle.
"What?! Hey Barry? Barry? Come back here! The Great Zaldros ORDERS IT!" Zaldros tried to get Barry to come back to the cubicle. Sadly, he had already left.
Sometimes Zaldros thinks:
[Am I really the Overlord of this place?] as he felt powerless as he thought of the things Barry must've been doing to that body pillow right now.
