Chereads / GODS Part 1: Black Lights Arc / Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: Brothers

Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: Brothers

*Eden is shown to be very frustrated by the situation and decides to go to a remote place*

Eden: *Think* Damn, I can barely move my body, I'm shattered

*Eden returns to its normal form*

Eden: *I think* But, it's the first time I can use this power consciously, although I'm still too weak to use it correctly. However, it seems that I will leave here without achieving my goal...

*Zero arrives at the place*

Zero: Wow, that was a complete surprise. I expected you to be strong, but you've surprised me

Eden: You... Who are you really?

Zero: Wow, it's true. I had forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Zero, and I'm a member of the Revolutionaries

Eden: The revolutionaries?

Eden: *Think* Wait a minute, did Zero say?

Eden: Are you Zero Yomi?

*Zero's gaze changes to a serious gaze*

Zero: Who told you that?

*Eden embraces Zero*

Zero: Huh?

Eden: What happiness... You're still alive, brother

Zero: Eden...

Zero: *Think* Wait, how do you know that? I remember that Grandpa placed a mental block on him at my request, so how is it possible?

Zero: Can I ask something?

Eden: Yes

Zero: How do you know I'm your brother?

Eden: If I'm honest, I'm not sure

Zero: What? What do you mean?

Eden: I recently had a battle on Nork, against Iss

Zero: Impossible...

Eden: During that battle, she broke a kind of block that existed in my head, since then everything has been confusing, I have been remembering things little by little, but one of the things I remembered was that I had a brother, and his name was Zero

Zero: I see...

Eden: I'm sorry for confusing me

Zero: No, you haven't. My real name is Zero Yomi, and I'm your brother

*Both embrace*

Zero: *Think* It seems that it was not what I thought, thank goodness...

*Both are shown talking about everything that Eden has been through in these years*

*Both are smiling, but Eden's gaze changes*

Eden: But, everything changed from that day on.

Zero: What day?

Eden: On my birthday, some guys who claimed to belong to Black Lights attacked me

Zero: Black Lights?!

Eden: *Very frustrated* And-I was very weak, I couldn't even react, but... Grandpa came and tried to save me. Because of me, those damned ones have Grandpa

Zero: *Think* What the hell were they trying to do all this?

Eden: That's why I promised myself to become strong, so that I could rescue Grandpa, and make them pay for all the damage they have caused. I'm not going to rest until that happens, I'll do it at all costs

Zero: Are you sure that's what Grandpa would want?

Eden: What are you talking about?

Zero: I know what I'm going to tell you won't change your mind, but I think Grandpa wouldn't want you to get into this mess, he's always wanted us to live in peace, away from all this. However, it seems that neither of us likes to follow those rules

*The face of rage is shown to Eden*

Eden: What should I do? What should I protect?

Zero: I don't know

Eden: Huh?

Zero: There's never really a right answer. In reality, neither the good guys are so good, nor the bad guys so bad. There are only people who seek to defend what they believe is right

Eden: Why did you choose to join the revolutionaries?

Zero: Who knows. I would like to give you cool or pure motives, such as protecting others. But I would be lying to you, the same thing was just a whim, I wanted to know the truth of the world, which is what really happens, the why of the races, the why of several worlds, and I knew that this was the fastest way to get to that truth. So, I don't plan to stop until I get it

Eden: The truth? What do you mean?

Zero: I'm sorry, but it's not time for you to know yet. When the time comes, you'll have to choose what and who to defend. However, it is not yet the time

Eden: *sighs* Okay, I guess I'll wait

Zero: Can I ask you something?

Eden: Yes

Zero: How did you end up in Grek?

*Eden is shown with a nervous smile as he recalls Shun's workouts*

Eden: That's a long story... But let's just say an idiot with pink hair extorted me

Zero: Huh?

Eden: Huh? What's going on?

Zero: *annoyed* E-That idiot

Eden: Do you know the idiot?

Zero: *A little nervous* P-You could say yes

*Zero remembers when he trained with Shun*

Zero: It looks like we both had a hard time with that guy

Eden: Yes... kind of

*Two hooded men appear behind Zero*

Unknown 49: Boss, we have to go. We have another mission

Zero: Don't you see that I'm reuniting with my brother?

Unknown 49: I'm so sorry boss... Huh? Brother? Do you have a brother?!

Stranger 50: Does the boss have a brother?

Eden: Hello

Zero: Eden, I present them to you. They are Landis and Ëliel, they are both in my charge

Eden: Nice to meet you

Zero: I'm sorry I can't stay longer

Eden: Don't worry, I'm glad I saw you, brother

Zero: *Smile* I say the same, little brother. Something tells me we'll see each other soon again

Eden: I'll look forward to it

*Zero vanishes with his pupils*

Eden: What Should I Protect?

*Zero and his pupils are shown running at high speed*

Stranger 49 (Landis): I'm sorry for my interruption sir, but why didn't you invite your brother to join?

Zero: Right now it's better for him to stay with them, he's not ready to know the truth of the world yet

Landis: Do you think it will ever be?

Zero: I'm sure. However, it is not yet the time

Landis: I see...

Zero: *Think* However, I still don't understand what both Shun and Black Lights are looking for in him. What are his true intentions?

Unknown 40 (Ëliel): Sir. We have already received information about the mission

Zero: Where is it?

Ëliel: In the Eldoria region, the city of science

Zero: *smiles* Oh, that'll be interesting. Let's go

Ëliel and Landis: Yes!
