Ball of Nothing Chapter 39

The return was faster than the retrieval . As Zero knew how Ruban x Pointes looked like, he could teleport there instantly just by visualising the shop . The young boy materialised in the tea room where the goddesses were huddled together .

"I'm back!" he announced .

Almost at once, Freya and Isis forgot about their jealousy and cooed over Zero . With Lily still in his shirt and Egui's soul in one hand, Zero managed to manoeuvre sideways to void having either of them hurt by the smothering hugs .

"Welcome home," Sedna greeted with a warm smile and Lily flew back to Gaia . Egui's soul remained silent, feeling awkward at seeing such powerful goddesses behaving like puppies before the cute kid . Apparently, the kid's charms didn't just affect him . Even if Egui didn't know that Zero had become a mini sensation from the Mega Gourmet competition, he didn't doubt that the kid will become a poster boy for kindness and compassion in the future . Save The Cats Campaign, Adopt a Kid, Say No to Paedophiles, World Peace Missions etc . , Zero will be the future poster boy for it all .

Just as the goddesses start to get rowdier, the door clicked open and Egui saw that the newcomer was dragging his spirit and soul's other part .

"What is this mess and who is this brat?" En frowned .

If Isis was horrifying on a normal day, seeing her coddle a young child with big brown eyes was pure nightmare material for years to come . The fact that she wasn't ordering the kid to be boiled and actually asking if he wanted more cakes made En turn green with unease .

What was his godmother plotting? Who was this kid?

"Shut up brat! Don't compare yourself to Zero! He's a good child unlike you . "

Flabbergasted, En's jaw dropped open . "Good child?! Who are you and how dare you impersonate my godmother!"

Gaia only sighed at the chaos . Sedna had to rein Isis back before she could stab En in the eyes . Zero watched everything with a calm expression as Egui trembled in fear . Standing in front of King Yama was terrifying . Watching King Yama's ear get pulled by an enraged Freya was worse . He didn't know how Zero could remain so calm .

"So he's not an ordinary child? Then where did he come from? Also, how did father know about him?"

The goddesses became uneasy with the questions . While En was a person they trusted, the Great One's existence was meant to be a secret . Explaining about Zero would mean revealing the secrets about the Great One .

"Sorry Zero," Sedna smiled . "Can I discuss something with you alone for a moment?"

Zero nodded and passed Egui's soul to En . "Uncle, I hope you can help fix Egui's soul . I'm sorry about the trouble I caused, I didn't know that helping Egui remove the weakness effects was a bad thing . I'm very sorry about it but please don't be angry with Egui, I still want to be his friend . "

After apologising and bowing, Zero hopped off the chair to follow Sedna with his stubby legs . Holding the goddess' hand, Zero didn't see En's startled expression .

"Zero," Sedna spoke in an almost quiet tone . "That is En . He is a child of Freya, Hades and Gaia . Although we trust him, we cannot tell him about Great One as it was a secret entrusted to only the Great Gods . Buddha is a special case as he knew Great One while Great One was still conscious . Buddha helped create Mind's Eye and they were pen pals but En is different . "

Zero nodded and understood what Sedna was trying to say . "I don't see why you cannot share with En about my past self . After all, everyone trusts him, right? It's alright to explain to Uncle En, he's not a bad person . "

Sedna chuckled . "Alright, thank you Zero . Also, En is younger than us so calling him 'uncle' can be a little awkward for him . How about just calling him En like how you call us by our names?"

Zero pondered over it for a while . En seemed really scary so he'd unknowingly called him 'uncle' out of respect . He didn't mind calling En by his name but he also didn't want to offend the King of Trials by doing so .

"Won't he get angry?"

Sedna hummed . "Not if you do it cutely . "

"Cutely?" Zero tilted his head to a side and frowned in confusion .

Sedna squealed internally . Externally, she patted his brown hair gently . "It's alright, Zero . Just be yourself . En is actually a very kind person so he'll understand . He doesn't like liars or people who do something for selfish gains so being honest is the best . "

Zero nodded . As expected, En wasn't a bad person . Satisfied and thoroughly reassured by Sedna, Zero beamed and ran towards where En and Egui were, ready to negotiate for his friend .
