Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Rejection

Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Rejection

*Everyone is shown gathered in a room next to the sphere containing Eden*

Zeus: Can you tell what the hell you were thinking when you brought that boy here?

Shun.- You can't deny that it's been interesting

Zeus.- You just broke one of the rules, you are not allowed to have a demon inside you

Shun.- Come on, old man, don't be a hypocrite, you know very well that everyone has broken that rule. It's just that those who break it have influence

Zeus.- That's none of your business

Shun.- Are you sure? *Shun begins to give off a gigantic aura*

Heracles: Shun, you'd better stop, if you don't, we'll have to act

Shun: Do you think that worries me? Do you really think someone so weak worries me?

*Heracles begins to get annoyed by Shun's words*

Aphrodite: Heracles, stop

Heracles: Do you defend it now?

Aphrodite: No idiot, I'm saving you from certain death

Shun: Very well thought out, Aphrodite

Zeus.- The committee of the gods of Olympus will make a decision, in the meantime make sure that this demon does not get out of control

Shun: As you say, sir

Zeus.- Come on

Aphrodite.- I'm staying

Hermes: Why?

Aphrodite: Right now, I'm the only one who can heal her possible wounds

Hermes: We need the 12 gods of Olympus

Aphrodite.- I vote in favor of the boy, today I have seen something that I have not seen in thousands of years, the gods standing admiring someone. I think he can be the one to change the history of GODS

Old man, believe me, he's different

Zeus: Heracles, keep an eye on them

Heracles: Yes

*Perspective shifts to Shu and Yuki*

Yuki.- Can you find out what that was?

Shu.- What do you mean?

Yuki.- In the combat arena, that aura I perceived was not yours

Shu: I don't know what you're talking about, I was the one who fought against Eden

Yuki.- No, you're wrong, the one who fought wasn't you

Shu.- Stop talking nonsense, you saw it with your own eyes

Naz.- She's right, the aura I perceived at that time and the one I perceive now are completely different

Shu.- Naz...

Yuki.- So tell me... What's your secret

Shu.- I...

*Heracles flies away as he passes through the walls*

*The three of them are shocked to see that scene*

What the hell just happened?

*Eden is shown without any clothes and with dark energy gushing out of his body*

*Naz and Yuki blush while Shu is shocked*

*Switches to the perspective where the gods of Olympus are gathered*

Zeus: I'm sorry to have called you at the last minute, but this is an important matter that we must resolve

Apollo: And what about the idiot Poseidon?

Zeus: Poseidon has important matters to attend to, that's why he hasn't come

Athena: So, what's this about, father?

Zeus: We're on a mission to decide what to do with a boy named Eden Yomi

Athena.- I suppose it's something important, so that you have taken the trouble to call us all

Zeus: Yes, Eden is Shun's apprentice and just now he had his fight against another student and what happened was, that boy released a demonic power

Athena: So, Shun...

Apollo.- If that's the reason, I don't know what we're doing here, it's clear that you have to do, isn't it?

Zeus: Yes. However, I still have my doubts

Dionysus: You're interested in its power, aren't you?

Zeus: Yes, that's right

Dionisio.- What was it that caused that?

Unconsciously I stood up to applaud him, and not only I, but all the gods present did so

Dionisio.- I see... Now I'm interested in meeting that mysterious boy

Apollo: It may be strong and very interesting, but we have to do our duty to keep GODS safe

Dionysus: Come on, Apollo, since when have you been so boring?

Apollo: I'm not boring, I'm just doing the task assigned to us

Dionisio.- Boring...

*Apollo and Dionysus confront each other*

Hephaestus.- Come on, come on, guys calm down

*Between shoving and screaming, Apollo hits Hephaestus and Hephaestus gets upset*

*Everyone starts exchanging blows*

Athena.- Monkeys...

*Lightning strikes the center of mine and everyone stops*

Zeus: Enough is enough! Everyone will have a vote to decide what to do with the boy

Zeus: First, Apollo

Apollo.- I refuse to let the boy stay

Zeus: Athena

Athena.- Against

Zeus.- Ares

Ares.- A favor

Zeus.- Artemis

Artemis.- In favor

Zeus.- Demeter

Demeter.—I'm not interested, against

Zeus.- Dionysus

Dionisio.- My vote is clear, in favor, the boy seems promising

Zeus.- Hera

Hera.- Against

Zeus.- Hermes

Hermes.- *Thinks* I don't know what to do, that boy surprised me a lot, but he's a demon

*Hermes remembers the words Shun said to Zeus*

Hermes: *Think* Damn you, Shun, after this you will owe me a very great favor

Hermes.- A favor

Zeus.- Hephaestus

Hephaestus: In favor. I don't care if we're disobeying the king's orders, but that boy deserves a chance

Zeus.- Recently Aphrodite gave me her vote and it was in favor of the boy, so the vote right now is: 5 votes in favor and 5 against

Ares: It seems that all the responsibility falls on you, old man

Zeus: Yes...

Zeus: *Think* What should I do? What is the right thing to do?

Zeus: I...

*One of the walls of the room falls apart and Eden is shown*

Zeus.- Eden Yomi...

Apollo: You insolent bastard, what do you think you do?

Dionisio.- *Smiles* Hey, hey, I didn't expect this. Will you give me permission to fight him?

*Eden bows down to all*

Eden: Please allow me to enter GODS!

Apollo: Brat, you'd better be—"

*Zeus holds in Apolo*

Zeus: Why should we take that risk?

I know I don't understand the world of the gods very well yet, but I can assure you of something, I will do my best to achieve the goals you want, just let me enter please

I don't know if you knew, but just now you became an uncontrollable demon and endangered many people, if it weren't for Shun, hundreds of people would have died

Eden: A demon?

Zeus: That's right... Right now, you are a demon, and in our world, demons are exterminated, so if you endanger people again with that power you could be sentenced to death.

Eden: Yes! I promise to become stronger and control this power, if I don't you can assassinate me, if necessary, but I don't intend to take a step back from my goal

Dionisio.- What a surprise...

*Zeus is shown happy and proud*

Zeus.- *think* looks like you weren't wrong Shun

*A big laugh is heard in the background*

Shun.- *clapping his hands* How touching. You've seen it Zeus, this boy is different

Hermes.- *thinks* At what point did he get there? I wasn't able to perceive it

So, what's the decision?

Zeus.- I still have to think about it, in a few days I will give you the answer, for now I have to continue with the remaining fights of the tests.

Shun.- What? Are you going to leave me wondering?

Zeus.- I like that I took the trouble to gather the gods of Olympus

Shun.- Yes, yes. I'll take the boy, I've got to teach him a few more things

*Shun takes Eden away from the place*

Shun.- Well done boy

Eden: What did I do right?

Shun.- Better forget it

Zeus.- *Think* You look a lot like him...

Apollo: I really can't believe you're so soft, Zeus

Zeus.- Breaking the rules is not always bad Apollo, sometimes you have to break them for the greater good

Apollo: As you say...

*Perspective shifts to one of the city's mountains*

Eden: Why did you bring me here?

Shun.- Have you forgotten that you caused a bad image in the city recently? So, I don't feel like being surrounded by a lot of people. Besides, I have something to tell you

Eden: What's going on?

Shun.- I'll leave town early tomorrow, so from now on you'll be alone

Eden: So fast? And what happens if they don't accept me?

Shun.- Don't worry, they'll do it, that old man seems to be someone very bitter, but inside he's very soft, I'm sure that after the little act you put on there, they'll accept you. Also, I've missed work these last few months and my boss wants to kill me, so I have to go back

Eden: I see, so here we part...

Shun.- Don't worry, I'm sure we'll see you very soon, I'll always be protecting your back

Eden.- Thank you, pink girl

Shun.- You don't have to thank me, in the end, I do it too for my own interests

Eden: You've always said the same thing, but what's your goal?

Seeing the birth of the strongest warrior in the universe and so far, that is being a success

Eden: Why do you trust me so much?

I don't know, but I have a feeling that the future will prove me right

Eden: Can you see the future?

Shun.- No, that would be very boring

Eden: It's true, it's not something I would combine with you

I hope that in the future I can fight with you, when you become stronger

Eden: Without a doubt I will overcome you

*Eden and Shun shake hands*

Eden: I'm going to get stronger and I'm going to beat those guys who took my grandfather

And I'll do my best to catch them

*Shun and Eden smile as their auras are shown*
