Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Zenka

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Zenka

*Eden is shown exercising while Shun and Tenzak talk*

Tenzak.- Are you sure it will be ready for the scheduled date?

Shun.- I have no doubt about it

Tenzak.- What makes you think that?

Shun.- Don't you notice? The energy around your body is getting bigger and bigger, so if you do this while in control, I can't imagine where you'll be able to get

Tenzak: Now that you say it, I feel a great aggressiveness coming from his energy

That's because right now he only has one goal in mind, to finish off those who took his grandfather

Tenzak: Are you really sure he's still alive?

I don't know why they want him, but if their goal is to take him, it's likely that his grandfather is still alive.

Tenzak: I see, so they want their grandfather to be some kind of bait

Shun.- That's right, but there's something I don't understand

Tenzak.- What?

Shun: If you want it so badly, why haven't you sent one of your big shots?

Tenzak.- What do you mean?

Shun.- Black Lights is a gigantic organization that in recent years has spread its cult all over the world, having millions of members, so the most logical thing is that among them there is someone capable of defeating a god

However, those I met when I went to see him, they didn't have a great level, if I had arrived earlier, I would have beaten them without problems

Tenzak.- Maybe they don't have members of the level you think

Shun.- It could be...

*Eden is shown doing push-ups*

Eden.- nine hundred and ninety-eight... nine hundred and ninety-nine... and... thousand

Eden.- Shun, I'm done with the push-ups

Shun.- Okay, now start with the thousand blows in the air

Eden: Yes! One... two... three

Shun: *Thinks* Did they already know their hidden power, and that's why they want it? Damn, I'm tired of thinking about it

Tenzak.- You'd better stop overthinking things, you've never been like that

Shun.- Yes, you're right

*6 months pass*

Tenzak.- It's surprising, his energy is very different

What did he tell you? The results are even better than expected

Tenzak: Yes, it's time to do that

Shun.- Yes, get it ready

Shun: Eden, the time has come

Eden: Yes!

*Large room with hundreds of candles shown*

Eden: What is this?

Shun.- This is the Zenka ritual, it's the only way to release your Zenka energy

Eden.- How does it work?

Shun.- Don't you think it will be more interesting to find out for yourself?

Eden: Yes, I suppose

*Shun releases a flame that ignites each of the candles*

Eden.- *Thinks* Awesome, he didn't even make an effort to do it

Shun.- Go inside the circle

Eden.- Yes

Shun.- Are you ready Tenzak?

Tenzak.- Yes, we'd better not fail

Eden: What happens if they fail?

Shun.- Nothing, maybe you'll just die

Eden.--Huh? "Damn pink skin didn't tell me anything about this!

Shun: Now!

*Shun and Tenzak focus all their forces on the circle*

*The flames increase in size into a giant flame that surrounds Eden*

Eden: What the hell is this?! I can't breathe!

*Eden falls to the ground and starts to get dizzy*

Eden.- *Think* Damn I'm running out of oxygen

*The vision of Eden is clouded to darkness*

*Eden opens her eyes and finds herself in a large corridor with blue flames*

Eden: What the hell is this place? and more importantly, how did I get here?

*Eden begins to walk down the long hallway*

Eden.- *Think* Will this help me activate my Zenka energy? But how? The idiot with the pink hair didn't explain anything to me that day, and he didn't explain it to me before sending me here

Eden: What is this?

Eden: Who is this guy? Looks very strong

Eden.- *Keeps walking while thinking* I really have no idea what to do here, I've been in this hallway for a long time, however, it doesn't seem to end

Eden: What's that?

*Eden enters the room and finds a round table with 6 energy spheres*

Eden.- Fire... Air... Earth... Water... Darkness... What does this mean?

Unknown Voice.- These are known as the Zenka energy types

Eden: Who speaks? Where are you?

Unknown voice.- I don't know how to say it, I'm here, but at the same time I'm not, I'm someone and at the same time I'm not, I exist and at the same time I don't

Eden: Are you one of those strange philosophers?

Unknown voice.- No, no, I am much more than that, however, I do not have a name as such, on the contrary, each person calls me differently

Some call me god, others call me the creator of the world, others the Big Bang, others call me the beginning of everything

Eden: So, you are the creator of everything?

Unknown voice.- Well, something like that

Unknown voice: So, tell me, what are you doing here?

Eden: If I'm honest, I don't know, all I know is that I want to get stronger, and Shun told me that this is one of the ways to

Unknown voice: Shun?

Eden.- Yes, a pink-haired guy, conceited, not handsome at all, very weak

I'm sorry, but I don't remember seeing anyone like that

Eden: Well, you don't look like a creator god

Unknown voice.- Yes, you're right

Unknown voice: Well, let's start this, but first I have to ask you something: What do you want this power for?

Eden: I want to take revenge and get my grandfather back

Unknown voice: Is that your answer?

Eden: Yes, I'm not going to lie

Unknown voice.- *Starts laughing* I like you kid; it's been a while since I've met anyone as stupid as you

Eden: Should I take that as a compliment?

The last time I saw someone like that, it was that guy with the white hair

Eden: Isn't a god supposed to eliminate evil?

Unknown voice: Yes, that's right. However, I know that you will use this power for good, after all, I am your creator

*The whole place begins to shake and the energy spheres swirl around Eden*

Eden: What the hell is going on?

*Tatrus is shifted from perspective and shown to be trembling there as well*

Shun.- *smiles* It's amazing how much energy he gives off

Tenzak.- *Thinks* It's overwhelming, it's nothing like anything you've seen before

*Shun's hand is shown to be cut off and fall to the ground*

Tenzak.- What?!

Hey, hey, are you serious? Do you know what it will cost me to join my hand again

Unknown 5.- My idea is that this doesn't happen

Shun: As serious as ever, Gabriel

Gabriel.- And you're as unbearable as ever

What brings an archangel of your caliber to the underworld?

Gabriel.- Don't be silly, you know very well why I'm coming

I'm not going to let you take him, Gabriel

Gabriel.- I'm just following orders.

Shun.- As always, Gabriel, complying with the whims of those old men

*Miguel points a sword at Shun*

Gabriel.- Shut your mouth, I don't care how strong you are, I'm stronger

Shun.- Really? *Smile*

Gabriel.- Shut up! *Generates cracks in the ground with his force*

If you're going to waste my time, you'd better leave

Gabriel.- I can't, I have to fulfill my mission

I hate guys like you, always doing what's supposed to be right, even though those rules of what's right and what's wrong were written by 12 idiots who only look out for their own interests

Gabriel.- *sighs* I'll talk to them; I'll say there's no threat. But, if you want to protect the guy, you better not screw it up

Shun.- Yes, yes

Gabriel.- Seriously, I hate you

Shun.- Me too, but thank you. Believe me, the guy will make big changes

*Shifts perspective back into the room*

*The spheres of Darkness and Fire begin to blink very frequently, while the others light up to the minimum*

Unknown voice.- *Starts laughing* I definitely haven't failed, it will be very interesting to see you grow, Eden Yomi

Eden: What do you mean by that?! Explain!

Unknown voice.- I hope to see you again, Eden Yomi

*The whole place is compressed and Eden returns to the center of the ritual*

*Large cracks begin to form in the place*

*Candles fall again*

Tenzak.- Eden, are you okay?

Eden.- Yes... I just feel a little weird

*Eden looks at his hand and sees a lot of energy flowing*

Eden: *Think* What's all this?

Shun.- It looks like you've completed the ritual

Eden: Yes, what happened to your hand?!

Shun.- It's nothing, I started playing with a katana and cut it off

Eden: Really? You're stupider than I thought

Tenzak.- *Think* Actually, I think the idiot is someone else

Shun: So, tell me, what did you see there?

Eden: First, I saw a large corridor that seemed to have no end... later...

*Eden tells the story detail by detail*

Shun: Was the darkness blinking?!

Shun.- This is bad, really bad

Eden: What's going on?

Shun: The energy of darkness is the most hated energy in the world of the gods

Eden: Why?

Shun: Because of what happened in a war thousands of years ago

Eden: A war?

Shun.- I'll explain all this to you someday, for the moment you'd better not use it. We'll focus on your fire energy

Eden.- Yes...

Shun.- Try using it now

Eden: Huh? Now? I don't even know what to do

Shun: Aim at me, as if you want to kill me

Tenzak: Shun, that's crazy

Just let the energy flow through your body and expel it through the palm of your hand

*All the energy of the place begins to flow towards Eden*

Shun.- *Think* Hey, hey, are you serious? I didn't have to give him so many instructions and his energy is already flowing like this

Eden: Dark flame!

Shun.- *Think* Without pronouncing it?!

*The technique impacts Eden and causes him to hit a wall, breaking it*

Tenzak!- Shun!

*Eden falls to the ground excessively exhausted*

Tenzak: *Think* If he can do this in a day, what will he do in a year?

*Shun is shown with his clothes torn apart*

Shun.- It's not bad, but even so this year the candidates are not weak at all, most of them are stronger than him

Tenzak.- Are you serious?
