Chapter 92 - Chapter 92: Regrets and Decisions

*Zero is shown on a distant mountain next to Quil*

Quil: Why?

Zero: Huh? What's going on?

Quil: You've changed

Zero: Me? How? Not the first time?

Quil: No, I saw you at the tournament of God, many years ago

Zero: Yes? What a surprise

Quil: At first it was hard for me to recognize you, but I'm good at recognizing someone for their energy

Zero: Yes? Very nice

Quil: What's wrong? It looks like you're ignoring me

Zero: I'm sorry your majesty, but I don't like to talk too much about the past

Quil: I see. I am sorry

Zero: Don't apologize. It's just a little weird to talk about it

Quil: I understand you

Zero: Can I ask you something?

Quil: Yes, what's going on?

Zero: What did Guayas expect by making so many sacrifices?

Quil: He never told me directly, but he always talked about becoming a god

Zero: A god? Yes, people have strange desires

Zero: *Think* Assuming that those "sacrifices" had their Zenka energy extracted. He should have a large accumulation of energy saved, but that wouldn't work to become a god. It is impossible to transfer that energy to an individual at least in that way. So if I'm not wrong, that energy would go to an instrument

Zero: Did Guayas say anything else?

Quil: No, I'm sorry. He never shared anything with me

Zero: Wasn't this some kind of offering to the gods?

Quil: Yes

Zero: Hey, hey, this doesn't look good

Quil: What's going on?

Zero: I hope I'm wrong, but those bastards have set him up

Quil: A trap?

Zero: That energy is not for him

Quil: Is it for the gods?

Zero: No, they can't absorb it. It looks like they want to open a door

Quil: A door? What are you talking about?

Zero: I can't say much information, but I think they're trying to bring someone from another world. But that's not good at all

*Eden is shown arriving in front of Guayas*

Guayas: Wow, it seems that you have come alone, this time you will not stay still in fear?

Eden: Shut up, I'll kill you

Guayas: *Smiles* I'm glad you're here to witness my final act, the one that will take me to the top, the one that will turn me into a god. A god of the new world

*The ritual begins to activate and emanates an immense amount of energy*

Eden: What is this?

Guayas: Yes! Yes! I can feel it! This is the power of a god!

*Zero observes from afar the immense amount of energy*

Zero: *Think* Damn, it looks like I'll have to intervene in this, although I don't think I'll intervene in the battle of Eden, next to him will already be a great ally

Zero: Your majesty, I think I'll be a little busy, so I'll take you to safety

Quil: Eh... yes

*Zero in an instant appears in front of Guard 2 and all the people who managed to flee*

Guard 2: Your majesty...

Guard 2: *Think* Who is this rascal?

*The guard pulls out his sword and points it at Zero*

Guard 2: Let the queen loose, you rascal

Zero: Now you talk like a pirate?

Guard 2: Let go!

*Zero in an instant breaks the guard's sword*

Zero: Min idiot, it's me

Guard 2 (Min): Huh? Orze? What the hell did you do to your face?! And your scrawny body?!

Zero: It was just a façade, idiot

Min: Besides, what do you do with the queen?

Zero: It's a long story, I'll tell you about it someday. But, now I need you to take care of her

Min: Huh? I?

Zero: Yes, you. I have business to take care of. Don't let anyone near her

Min: Yes sir!

Quil: Why did you bring me here?

Zero: Your majesty, the only one who can lead your people now, is you

Quil: B-but I never protected him, they must hate me

Zero: Maybe, but why don't you make an effort to get it back?

Quil: But how?

Zero: Why don't you find out for yourself?

Citizen: Your majesty. We'd give our lives for you

Quil: Huh?

Citizen: We know that you did everything possible to make King Guayas come to his senses, but it was impossible...

Quil: Why do you know that?

Guard 1: It was me, your majesty

Quil: You...

Guard 1: I'm sorry. I am very ashamed of everything I did, your majesty. I am willing to pay with my life for all my mistakes if necessary

Quil: Get up, Niu

Guard 1 (Niu): Your Majesty...

Quil: Not only him, I'm guilty too. As queen I had to protect my people even if it cost me my life. However, I was scared and never did, but as of today. I swear on this place, that I will give my life for this people

Niu: Your Majesty...

All the people: Long live Queen Quil! Hurrah!

Quil: Zero, gra...

*Zero disappeared from the place without anyone noticing*

Quil: *Think* Thank you

*The ritual begins to expel dark energy*

Guayas: Here it is...

*A demonic arm completely pierces Guayas*

Guayas: W-What?

*A demon begins to emerge from the ritual with red eyes, and a lot of jewelry made of gold*

*The demon begins to stretch*

Unknown 45: Tell me Do you want great wealth?

*The demon appears right in front of Eden and points a finger at his forehead*

*Zero instantly appears and blocks his attack with his sword*

Unknown 45: How funny *Smiles sarcastically*

*The demon's strike sends Zero flying and he goes after him*

Eden: N-I couldn't even react

*Guayas is shown with a large wound in his stomach*

Guayas: *Think* Is this all? Did I really go through all that for this result? No... I didn't. I will be a god at any price. I'll leave it all behind to be stronger, and this time I'll be able to take revenge

*Flashback*

*A village of natives is shown in the middle of nowhere*

Guayas: *Narrando* Since I was a child I was always clear about my destiny. I knew that I could never become the leader of the clan, that role was occupied by my older brother whom I admired very much, and even if a tragedy happened, I was very far from the line of succession. Even so, I decided to move forward and my dream was to become the most powerful soldier in the clan, although there were many candidates I stood out among them. However, I felt empty with it, I needed more power, so I went in search of it

Kunak (Guayas' father): Are you sure to leave, son?

Guayas: Yes, father. I need to find my place beyond these lands. I would like to become stronger to help the people in the future

Kunak: *Smile* Then you have my blessing Guayas. We'll be waiting for you here with open arms

Guayas: Thank you, father

Guayas: *Think* I promise I will find you, Hanan Pacha, land of the Inca gods
