“Anyways let’s ignore her for now until she snaps out of it. So, what do you guys think of this place so far?” asked Zero as he turned from Yoko who was in her own little world, and faced the others.
“It’s well hidden and if you’re able to find witches to aid you then I believe this plan of yours will work.” said Soma
“I agree the cities spacious and there’s still plenty of room to expand the city should the population grow.” said Hikaru
“Yeah but there is a lot that needs to be done in the case of the overgrown nature and animals. If you want people to live here then we’ll need to control that.” said Azalea
“We’ll also need to investigate that spire to make sure there’s nothing too dangerous inside.” added Dahlia
“That’s true there’s still a lot to do here but we don’t need to rush. We came here to check the place out and we’ve done that so let's head back for now and come up with a concrete plan later.” said Zero
“Yes, I believe that would be most wise.” said Hikaru
“Good then will someone go drag Yoko over here so we can leave.” said Zero
Nova who hadn’t said anything and looked bored raised her hand while saying, “I’ll go” repeatedly as she jumped. Zero nodded and told Azalea to go with her just in case. The group looked around and after a few minutes, they returned with Azalea forcibly dragging Yoko along as she tried to escape her grasp. It was quite a comical sight so it caused a few members of the group to laugh.
Zero snapped his fingers and a portal appeared in front of the group. He then motioned for everyone to step through. As they stepped through they found themselves back outside the hotel. Zero didn’t have the ability to create doorways like Hel but he mimicked the ability by creating 2 portals simultaneously. The 1st portal led into his chaos dimension and the 2nd took them to the hotel.
“Well then, we’ll head back to the island in 6 days so let’s just meet here in the morning. I have something to take care of so I’ll be heading off now.” said Zero as he produce his black angel wings before he could fly off into the sky Nova jumped and grabbed on “I’ll go with papa!” she exclaimed.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
Zero smiled and held on to Nova as he took off to the skies. Zero flew towards the direction of where he previously practiced his marksmanship skills under Hammer. He landed in the forest and put Nova down before retracting his wings.
“What are we doing here papa?” asked Nova
“Papa’s going to check something.” answered Zero as he walked over to a tree and lightly squeezed crushing the tree.
“Papa don’t do that you’re hurting the poor tree.” said Nova admonishing her father
Zero smiled and said, “Papa is sorry so tell Mr. Tree I apologize.”
“Papa the tree is a woman and you made her more upset.” said Nova as she placed her hand on the damaged tree causing it to instantly regenerate.
Zero then picked up Nova after she finished healing the tree and flew off towards Hirosaki City. Zero went to the cemetery but didn’t land on the ground as he remembered that Nova could sense all the corpses within the ground previously. He saw many wondering spirits walking mindlessly throughout the cemetery after having lost their ego and memories. Zero waved his hand causing all the wondering ghosts to turn into souls and fly towards him.
“What will you do with these souls papa?” asked Nova
“I’m going to make something for everyone.” answered Zero
Zero opened a portal and sent half the souls into his chaos soul dimension while summoning up a few souls that belonged to the Persephone maids. He now has 2,000 humans and 1,500 Persephone souls Zero began to forge. He imagined 9 items and allowed the system to take control as the souls converged and the items began to take shape. After a few minutes, the items were fully formed and floating in front of Zero.
Item: Ring/Bracelet of Humanity
Effect: Seals abilities and reduces the strength of the wielder to human levels and grants the wearer a seamless human form. The items will also change shape and size according to the user’s wants.
Description: A rather useless artifact that was forged by Zero the Soul Forger for disguise purposes.
Zero looked at the 6 rings and 3 bracelets and grabbed 1 of each before sending the rest into his shadow that crawled up and forming a portal in his hand. He then placed the bracelet on Nova’s wrist and then it transformed into a golden bracelet with leaves made of emerald jewels. Nova changed when the bracelet transformed her hair turned into normal black hair and her eyes became dark brown.
Zero flew back to the forest and landed nearby a lake. When Nova’s feet touched the ground, she looked around and then knelt down placing her hand on the ground also before saying, “What’s wrong why can’t I hear anything?”
“Look like it works. Nova why don’t you go look at your reflection.” said Zero
Nova did as Zero asked but looked confused as she saw a blacked hair and black-eyed girl staring back at her instead of her natural green. She looked at Zero and asked, “What happened to me?”
“It’s the bracelet if you take it off you’ll be able to feel like a normal human.” said Zero
Nova took off the bracelet immediately and then breathed a sigh of relief as it seemed like she could now feel the world around her again. She looked at the bracelet and asked, “Why did you put this on me, papa?”
“Because you’ll be going to school a place where human children learn and play. I want to send you there but humans are physically weaker than us so we might accidentally hurt them so I made this bracelet for you. If you wear it then you’ll be able to play with other kids without hurting them.” explained Zero before asking, “Do you want to go?”
“I want to go!” exclaimed Nova
Zero smiled and rubbed her head and said, “Good you’ll go tomorrow but I need you to promise me that you’ll always wear the bracelet in the school unless you feel like you’re in danger.”
“I promise.” said Nova as she nodded
Zero then picked up Nova who had placed her bracelet back on and flew towards the hotel.
