Chapter 103: CHAPTER 102 - You better stop.
Chapter 103: CHAPTER 102 - You better stop.
Just like the last time when this certain god arrived, this time again, she 'respectfully' asked a demon to leave, but unlike last time, this demon just grounded its teeth and left the game.
Now many would think that what was so bad about leaving the game—well, once you leave the game, you can't enter it ever again, at least not until the game restarts in another world.
For the gods—beings who sit at the pinnacle—these games were the only source of entertainment, especially for the demons.
So, if such beings were to be kicked out of the game and sent back to live the same boring life, then it would be the most cruel torture for them.
They would prefer dying rather than getting bored; there were actually some cases of gods committing suicide after being kicked out of the game, after all.
But the demon of nine nights still decided to leave, as it would rather go back to its boring life than get on the bad side of this certain god.
Now one would say: Didn't this certain god get kicked out before?
Well, yes, she did get kicked out, but let's just say that she's... special.
But the moment she became active, she noticed something.
[A Certain God is surprised by the number of gods on unmute.]
[A Certain God is asking for you to block the other gods.]
[A Certain God wants to know why there are so many gods active and unmuted.]
The certain god kept grumbling about the fact that she would not have to share the notification space with other gods.
Alex, however, kept ignoring her just like he did the other gods—that was until she sent this one message in particular.
[A Certain God is grumpy about the fact that you are not talking to her even after all she did.]
The moment Alex saw that notification, a sigh—one that was filled with a sense of defeat—left his lips as he spoke.
"What do you want?"
Alex, for the first time, replied to one of the gods.
[The Eternal Devotee of Rama is stunned in shock.]
[The Remover of Obstacles is looking at you with eyes wide open.]
[The Dragon Warrior has slipped down his throne.]
[The Divine Healer of Mankind is blinking his eyes in wonder.]
[The Divine Arbiter of Justice and Order has dropped her bow in stupefaction.]
[The Enchantress of Love is whistling in surprise.]
[The Metal Detector is staring at you with his mouth wide open.]
One after another, new notifications arrived, but the one Alex waited for didn't—that was until...
[A Certain God—!]
The illusionary blue notification of the system cracked the moment it reached this point, and it started cracking.
*Crack**Shatter*
As soon as it shattered, the color of the notification changed to silver before Alex saw the message continue on the silver panel.
[[—"Did you just reply to me?! Hehe~ I didn't know that I would have to die once to get you to talk to me—ERROR! ERROR! ERROR!—]]
Alex's ears were hit by a sweet, melodious, enchanting, seductive, and captivating voice, which, unlike the last time, was way clearer than the time he had heard before, but the message was cut off by an error warning.
The next second, however, the beeping of error paused, and the voice continued in an annoyed voice.
[[—I am NOT talking about something that is NOT supposed to be said, so you better stop, System."]]
Alex could hear a hint of threat in the certain god's words, but he was not alone, as even the system that tried to interrupt the certain god's voice could hear it.
[...]
The system went silent for a while before a new notification flashed.
[Permission granted.]
That was all the system said, in the same monotonous voice as it always gave out quests and other things before it went off.
[["Ahem-Ahem—so as I was saying, it sure took a lot of efforts to get you talking~"]]
The certain god, on the other hand, continued her words as if the incident hadn't even happened.
It was as if she didn't just threaten the all-powerful system, and the system didn't just take a step back.
For Alex, however, this wasn't something he could just wave off.
He was left wide-eyed as he kept staring at the illusionary blue screen speechlessly.
Only he, the system, and the certain god even knew about this incident, as the certain god was using her means to send him a message that only he could read, just like she did when she saw him the first time.
So, no one other than him really knew about it, but still...
"Did you just..."
Alex muttered out loud as he looked at the silver-colored screen floating right in front of his eyes, and his words only caused the certain god to reply in a dismissive voice.
[["You don't have to worry about it, the system knows its limits; it can't go beyond it. I am more interested in you~"]]
Her voice, however, turned a bit flirty by the time she reached the end of her words, causing Alex's eyes to return to the usual cold look.
[The Eternal Devotee of Rama is...]
[The Remover of Obstacles is...]
[The Divine...]
[The...]
[...]
..
.
The other gods kept getting more and more bewildered as Alex kept talking.
They did realize that something was happening—something they couldn't see—especially when they saw Alex's expressions changing, but they kept it to themselves.
They could tell that whatever it was, it was related to the Certain God, even more so when they clearly saw her public message being cut short, and she was not someone they wanted to get involved with.
So, they minded their own business, trying to show Alex how shocked and heartbroken they were that Alex didn't talk to them.
"What do you want?"
Alex, who had recovered from the shock and was way more alert around this certain god, questioned her as he started moving forward.
[["Nothing really; I just wanted to make you do some things, and the first one on that list was to get you talking, so I'm going to cut that out.
As for what the other things are, well, you'll have to wait if you want to know that, hehe~!]]
The Certain God, however, just giggled as she explained her actions, causing Alex's expression to turn blank as he stared at the silver screen floating in front of him with a dead look in his eyes.
*Inhale**Exhale*
Not for long, though; he soon took a deep breath before he nodded to himself, changing the image of this certain god, from all-powerful, to a very powerful goddess with a screw loose in her brain.
*Step**Step*...
Then he continued on his path, ignoring her messages like he used to.
As he continued on his path, closing in toward another level 10 zone to clear, he thought of opening the world chat at the state level, but just as he did, his eyes turned cold.
