Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 552: So many problems, so little time.

Two hours had passed since Wisdom and Lythia started talking. When he said that they would be having a long talk, he really meant. it.

Two hours gone and they had not even covered half of the story. She had many questions which needed answers. What did Nyx steal from the Apo? Was the god of life aware of Esong’s existence? Did this mean he knew about Scarlet’s pregnancy?

And what happened to Nyx’s memory when he returned to the underworld. Carnelia had said that he lost at least a year’s worth of memories.

There were so many problems and they had so little time to fix them.

"Hold on, Nyx is Esong Wu, Scarlet’s human husband, right?" She needed that point to be clarified.

"Two entities, one soul." Wisdom told her. "Sometimes, one body because Nyx hijacks the human side to spend time with his wife."

Lythia scoffed and laughed, a dash of ridicule in that laugh. Nyx was calling Scarlet his wife!! Had he received her permission before doing so?

"I told him the same thing." Wisdom said. Lythia did not have to say out loud what she was thinking because he shared the same thought.

"She loves the human excessively, as in a crazy sort of obsessed blind love. Finding out that he is also the host of a reaper who he has been keeping all these secrets from her is not going to go as smoothly as he expects.

I was the one who reaped her soul so I know her true past. She was betrayed by her lover in her first world. These little trips he is making into the human body will...." Lythia raised her hand and lowered them in a dismissive gesture.

"What do I know? Maybe she will be able to accept it all or maybe she won’t. But if she is asked to choose between the human and the reaper she will pick the human. Nyx is a stranger to her."

Wisdom refilled the now empty jar of wine as he sighed. What he was going to reveal next needed a heavy hit of some good wine.

He handed Lythia a glass and nodded. "Drink, you will need it." he told her.

Lythia took a big gulp and lowered the glass. In the midst of lowering it, she changed her mind and emptied the whole glass. After everything she had heard so far, what was coming next was unlikely to be good.

"Nyx is trying to kill his human half." Wisdom blurted out.

Lythia like an idiot replied, "Nyx is a natural born, he doesn’t technically have a human half."

"No, not that." Wisdom raised his voice a bit, injecting urgency into his voice. "He wants to kill the human in possession of his soul and then he can slide in and take his place."

"Is he crazy." Lythia shouted.

In the sky, rumblings accompanied her shout.

She calmed herself down but stood up. Sitting in the midst of this conversation would mean that she was digesting this news better than she appeared and she was not doing so at all.

If Esong killed a human.....it was a crime. She could hardly bring herself to complete the outrageous thought. He would be erased from existence.

"Yeah well, splitting of the soul is actually detrimental and he has sort of been becoming unhinged. Initially he could control it and he planned to sleep as he waited for Esong to die a natural death but Scarlet’s pregnancy threw all those plans out of the window. He has been waking all the sleeping generals and other natural born reapers slowly." Wisdom got a glass, looked at it and shook his head. Then, he drunk directly from the jar.

He put it down and said in a resigned voice, "War might be inevitable because Apo will be coming for his little family. Whatever Esong stole from him, it’s now inside Scarlet. I have a feeling that it’s something related to the tree of life because she is the first female reaper to get pregnant and defy Apo’s curse."

Lythia looked at the jar which had just refilled itself. She grabbed it and gulped down the contents. Gods could not get drunk so it didn’t matter how much she drunk.

The analogy so many problems, so little time took on a whole different meaning.

"That fool, oh that fool." she whispered to herself.

"Why didn’t he come to us?" she asked him.

"Yeah well, how many natural born reapers have come to you three lately? As far as they are concerned, you all abandoned them so they are on their own. Nyx is their leader, the head general of the underworld. It also helps that he is death’s actual son which makes him a prince in this realm. Where the king failed, the prince is leading."

"My brother will not be happy to hear that statement." Lythia stated.

Death was proud and undermining his power in any way was never good. Bad things happened when he flexed his muscles. That’s why life never pushed him too far and they maintained this delicate thin balance.

"Indeed, I am not." a thundering voice came from above.

Lythia and Wisdom looked above for the unexpected guests whose presence gave them both chills. How had he crept up on both of them without their knowledge?

A crow which had actually been disguised as one of Lythia’s shadows changed it’s shape and turned into the old deity.

Wisdom grabbed the wine jar and took three large gulps before setting it down.

The Lord of death had come faster than he anticipated.

"Brother." Lythia said nervously.

The god of death looked at her coldly and said, "You and I are going to have a conversation later on about the way important information should be shared. You should have come to me the minute you found him."

"It was my next destination after having an in depth conversation. He is a god just like us, he can vanish from our realm at any second should he wish to do so. I am tired of running around blindly, aren’t you? I had to squeeze answers out of him before he could escape." Lythia explained.

Wisdom smiled adorably and said, "I have no plans of escaping."

The god of life would never step foot in the underworld. It was the safest place in the entire universe for him. Even if Apo wouldn’t kill him, he would surely find other ways to make his life uncomfortable or cause him pain and he would rather avoid them.

"How long have you been here?" Lythia asked him.

"Long enough to hear about my son’s rebellious plans, despicable ones, and his leadership of my generals because I have become incapable apparently." The old deity answered.

Wisdom put his legs on the table and leaned back comfortably. He looked at the old deity and said, "He cancelled the rebellion. Nyx understands the importance of the stability of this realm and the happiness of the grim reapers. You should be proud that you have a son who is looking to fix the mess you three created."

"I can snap your neck right now." The old deity threatened wisdom.

"Still wouldn’t kill me." Wisdom said nonchalantly.
