Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 675: The council____2.

Even though Carnelia was participating in the lively conversation with other deities, she was also keeping an eye on Scarlet and Nyx down there. Her eyes widened when she saw them eating comfortably as if they were unaware of where they were or the seriousness of the actual situation and she was not the only one that noticed.

"Are...are they eating?" Lythia asked, a little perplexed.

"That’s what it looks like to me." Carnelia replied. "It smells good too."

Lythia shook her head. "I can see her doing this but not him. He has sure changed under her influence. He has become bolder."

Carnelia was almost tempted to get a few fruits and start munching herself. It seemed right, the mood was not as heavy as she assumed it would be. "It’s understandable that she would be hungry right now, she just gave birth to five children. She must be feeling faint right now."

Love leaned closer to Lythia and she said, "Now I want to eat what they are eating. Can we tell her to share some with us?"

"Enough!!" The god of life roared.

His loud voice caused the skies to rumble as they had done before. This time round, white light filled his eyes as his rage made itself known.

"Enough of the nonsense talk about irrelevant things. We are here to deal with serious matters." He raised his hand and sent a wave of hot energy in the form of a white ball Scarlet and Esong’s way.

The old deity opened a portal and sent it elsewhere before it could reach them.

"Tsk, tsk, let’s not cheat Apo. You cannot kill them just because you cannot beat them. Or maybe I should have just let you do it so that you could be punished by the old gods."

"Even the old gods will stand on my side in this case." The god of life declared self righteously.

"I would not be so sure about that." Carnelia said lightly. She had not shared Scarlet’s secret with the others, and only the god of death was aware of what Scarlet had truly evolved into.

"What do you mean by that?" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Carnelia looked away and her eyes returned to Scarlet. Every time she looked at her, she felt uneasy. Even being this close to her worried Carnelia. What if she suddenly exploded and took them all out?

She shifted in her chair and shrunk her size, in case Scarlet did explode she should be able to avoid being hit by the flames and make a quick get away. All the other gods had made themselves bigger and gigantic. To Carnelia, they were nothing more than gigantic targets with a bullseye painted on their foreheads.

"You will find out soon enough." she muttered.

Tridon, as the head of the council hearing for this session sat upright and turned his gaze to the fearless couple. The amused smile which he had when he saw Scarlet returned once again.

"As much as I hate disturbing your peace we must get down to business. Scarlet, Nyx and...Esong. I was told to mention all three of you because three parties are involved in this matter." He rolled his eyes and if the idea was stupid. "You three stand here because you asked to plead your case before the council of gods. Nyx, you are accused of stealing a seed cord of a baby life angel which you planted in a human and the result is five new natural born reapers. Do you accept your crime?’"

Nyx got to his feet and he nodded. "I do."

The deities started to whisper after hearing Nyx’s reply. Many were curious and wanted to know more about how a grim reaper got his hands on the seed cord of a life angel. Those were closely guarded in the realm of life.

The god of life rose to his feet and turned from side to side, looking at the others with validation in his bones. "He has admitted his crime, you have all heard and witnessed it. That’s why the children must be handed over."

"Settle down Apo, the council exists to dole out the punishment, not you." A new goddess teleported in and she said as she strode over to her chair.

Two more appeared, all with the same face but different hairstyles and outfits. Everyone knew and recognized her as the new goddess of fate.

"A young god, a new god. You should learn to give respect where it is due fate." Apo replied.

"I respect those who deserve it. Right now you are being a bully. How can you demand for the first life that the underworld has seen in thousands of years just because one grim reaper stole from you? You are being greedier than the goddess of greed herself."

From the back, the goddess of greed waved her hand like she was grateful for the acknowledgement.

"You are newly spawned, stay out of this." Apo reiterated.

"Should we give you two time to fight?" Tridon asked them.

Violently, Apo roared out, "No, we should stay on point. The children should be handed over to me right now. First, the child of life should be presented. I cannot trust the words of an underworld deity about the children being reapers. In fact, all the children could be life angels."

Tridon sighed and looked at Scarlet.

"You heard him little reaper, present the children for viewing. We should affirm for ourselves what they are with our very eyes."

Scarlet stretched her hands yawned and then replied in a bored voice, "I refuse."

Her answer was not one that even the gods could have anticipated. Her refusal was nothing short of an insult to them. They were gods, she wasn’t. Was she unaware of how things worked? When the gods said jump the logical and only response was how high.

Once again, the whispers started, gods muttering and discussing her response while sending curious glances at the old deity who looked unbothered as if he expected nothing less from her.

In fact, all of the underworld deities seemed to be at ease, with the exception of Carnelia shrinking herself to the size of a fifteen year old girl. She looked incredibly ridiculous in that chair like a little girl in her mother’s clothes.

"This is fun, so much fun. I have decided that I like her." The god of chaos who was enjoying himself incredibly announced loudly for all to hear.

"Could you repeat that again?" Tridon asked her. "The council needs to hear your response clearly."

Scarlet stood up, opened her mouth and said seriously, "No, spelled n and o, I said no and I can repeat it in a few other languages if I need to but I won’t. But if anybody did not hear what I said, then I will use this megaphone to express myself."

A megaphone appeared in her hands and she said with conviction, "No, I will not let you prick, prod and paw at my children. No, I will not hand them over to you so that you can disappear with them. No, I will not fight your war. No, no, no. I am saying no to everything."
