Silence, utter silence. It felt as if a pin could fall, the sound will be heard from miles away from the utter silence.
Kyle's response made the G.O.S and Anubis tongue tied. It struck them like an axe to the head and both of them lose the ability to talk and think at the same time.
A full second passed away, G.O.S starred at Kyle with the same calm gaze he have, the face was like a blank canvass, just empty. Suddenly an extreme killing intent came from the surrounding of the god, the aura was so extreme, that you will fill as if you are drowning.
Bang!.
The aura just keep coming like the sound from a loud speaker that just keep getting louder, soon the space colour turn extreme red that from a dozen of miles away you could only see red.
Even titanium would be reduce to nothing under millisecond. Kyle, the one the aura was directed at felt like a fish that was given the joy of water, and then taken from it again and again. Kyle soul which was bright just kept getting dinner and dimmer as if is form is fading. The pressure he was facing have destroyed his soul nine hundred and ninety nine million times, and this is under seconds.
After some minute of such heart wretching experience, G.O.S raised his hand telling them to stop releasing their thick aura killing intent, Kyle who have been receiving this high killing intent and have felt his soul getting destroyed over an high amount of times he could not recall, he had scream and scream plenty of times to the extent that he could not hear his scream no more. When the aura stop, he felt as if he had gone to hell and back. When his mind drive him to the scene of the last minute, his body shuddered uncontrollably, it was like a natural reflex.
When Kyle look up, he saw the gaze of the G.O.S with a look of disappointment on his face he then spoke.
"Why 'hell no', I gave you an offer that no one in their right mind who think of refusing, I don't understand, because all the people that I have given the chance immediately accepted to be my warrior, so why no? Tell me human what make you reject my great offer and if the answer soothe me I may reconsider not wiping you out of existence?" G.O.S questioned Kyle.
Kyle who have recovered from the treatment look back at God and said.
"Then why don't you do it, you think I want to live again after losing the only person that love me, I won't even take the offer if my memory was erased, am already tired of looking at those ugly animal heads of your guards especially that jackal head, so just do me the pleasure of erasing me out of existence!
"Your mother, your grandmother and her ancestors heads are ugly, you piece of shit".
Kyle's answer left the god guard gobsmacked and angry, but it only make the god faceless face to rise a little. Had their little torture over Kyle soul damage him, turning him into an idiot, maybe if they have reduce killing his soul to a thousand side, maybe he will still be sane, and not a death seeker, maybe?
Anubis the outspoken out of the guard who have also be left speechless and annoyed at Kyle look at an empty space and said in a murmur "world I am sorry, my liege have broken your fabled warrior, I am saying sorry again, it's my liege fault, so blame him and leave me out of it, may your souls rest in peace".
"Anubis, did you say something" G.O.S said.
"No my liege, it must have been the wind".
G.O.S just choose to ignore Anubis, he was already use to his shenanigans, so he just choose to focus on Kyle.
Kyle saw Anubis mouth moving, so he knew it was never the wind, and he could see that Anubis respect and worship the G.O.S, so he could not understand why Anubis will blame it on the wind, he could only wonder what Anubis said. As he was thinking he heard the god asking him a question.
"Why do you dislike the idea of living again so much? Is it because of your pathetic past life?"
"Yes, who want a second chance at life just to end up getting hate from their love one? And why should I believe anything you say, I believe in the law of equal exchange, so I don't trust that it is only because of what you said, I believe there is more? Let's me save you the trouble of trying to convince me, send me back to being dead and find some one who actually have to live, I am very sure you will find plenty of them from my world." Kyle said in a convincing manner.
G.O.S and the guards were surprised and his reply again.
"So what you are saying is that you don't want to live again? Can't you understand that the opportunity my liege is giving you is a once in a lifetime opportunity? Not everyone gets this opportunity. "Anubis said.
"Are you two deaf? Can't you hear what I said? Don't worry I will repeat it again, I d-o-n't w-a-n-t t-o l-i-v-e a-g-a-i-n so let's me just die you bastards!.
"No can't do". G.O.S said. He shook his head and put on that faceless face of his.
"My powers allow me to control sand, and as the lord of vessel, I create the shell for the souls. I am a being born out of the infinite void of reality in my universe. At most I can summon the dead souls from another world like yours inside this world boundary and only keep just one of such souls in my possession thanks to my connection with the god of souls. Even with the god of soul help it as still taken a huge burden on me just to steal a soul from another universe entirely". G.O.S explained the process to him.
Kyle look at the G.O.S with a face that said 'do I look stupid'. Not satisfied with his answer at all. But then he looked at anubis who was standing with the rest of the guard beside the god throne.
And he too looked like he saw him, Anubis then nod telling him that it is the truth.
"And what if I refuse to do what you want me to do? Are you going to kill me? Because if am correct then yes I refuse". Kyle asked with an expectant face.
"No I won't". G.O.S said.
"Why won't you? I am pleading, am I not disrespectful enough?
"Because you are the only chance I can rely upon for now. At least maybe for another million years, but I don't have that amount of time to wait, soooo". The god said.
"And how does that concern me uh, from the look of it the mission sounds hard, and you could have chosen people from your world to be your warrior, I am very sure they will gladly accept and even die for your cause after all you are their god"
Anubis and the guards sucked in their nose like the topic was a 'no go area'.
"Don't you think, I have tried, I have summon 5 warriors from my world so far, and each time, they always die fast for some stupid reason, at first I thought maybe I summon a dumb person for the first two, so I looked for someone that is smart, and then summon that person, but guess what it was still the same, that one still died, same for the fourth and the fifth, do you know how it feels to be at the losing side in a game and not even knowing how you are losing, that's how I feel, so you are my only chance for now". The G.O.S said.
"Why would they just keep dieing, is it that your power is weak because why would they just keep dieing, if your power is weak then why do you summon me it will still be the same results". Kyle said.
Anubis wanted to defend his liege, he knows that his liege is not weak, but Kyle's word look convincing.
"To hell with weak, I am not weak, you know I am one of the first god, I am the lord of vessel, I am the most powerful in my domain, no one can compare to me because I am powerful, it is the stupid people that I am choosing that don't know how to use the powers I gave them" . The G.O.S said in a defensive manner.
Kyle looked at the god and the powerful being that always have a faceless face defend himself, the god situation looks like the situation where a thief is caught with someone's property, but the thief keep on saying that the property is his. The god situation looks funny.
The god then said.
"Forget what I just said, the reason why you are the one is because we need someone with a shrewd and calculative mind of an accountant, and someone that is aware and not too trusting, you know like you". The god said.
"Woah, what a god you are, you are using my own misfortune for your own aim, nice one, so tell me again who is the first one with the shrewd mind". Kyle said.
"Are you annoying me on purpose thinking that I am going to get angry and destroy you, because if that's what you are doing better stop it, it won't work". G.O.S said.
"Is my plan really out in the open well too bad". Kyle said.
"You see that is the kind of person I am looking for right there, you just prove that I chose right. With that kind of mind it will be hard for you to die quick, though you will make a lot of enemy with that mouth of yours, but am very sure you will be able to take care of yourself after all you are smart".
"So what do you want me to do, do you want me to act like all those character inside novels and Mangas, do you want me to build a temple for you, do you want me to sleep with some heroines, or do you want me to fight some evil entities".
God knows that he is trying to annoy him, but it's still working, because he felt like damaging and destroying his soul over a million times, but he don't want him to be more damaged.
"No I don't want you to do something like that, I already have my worshippers and followers, i just want you to fight an evil entity, whose power is a mystery to us gods "Said the god of sand.
Kyle brain shut down first like it was struck by a million bolt of lightning over and over. He didn't speak or move for like one minute.
"Hey man, I was just joking, I know I really want to die, still you can't just wake me up and send me to my death at the hand of a unknown evil entity, bro, don't do me like this!!!!
