60. No more Words

Cheche sat silently, waiting for his master to end her talk with Cleopatra. Boredom was getting unbearable, and he wanted to be around her soon, but he wasn't allowed to. He started wondering what the thing those two have to talk about and no one should interrupt, but he gave up and lay on a sofa on the balcony at the end of the hall.

He stared at the blue sky filled with white cotton similar to the view he'd seen when his master used to take baths with him after filling the bathtub with bubbles.

"Hey" System 0 called for him, he has been bothered by him the second he saw him in the mansion back in the Land of Destruction. It was weird to meet him- No. It was a whole weird story that he used to know the previous owner of the dark mana.

System 0 had done his research, but he found nothing about a human, and from Earth who had once obtained something this big and murderous, if that was ever the case, that person would be executed because having such a thing will bring nothing but destruction.

But after witnessing what the world had come to, it was now clear that nothing could help more than the dark mana, even if it might harm the owner and the surroundings.

Cheche turned his attention to System 0, who remained stoic even though the black thing glared at him, "we need to talk" he growled, but Cheche ignored him and went back to stare at the sky. He had nothing to say to him, and he wasn't even in the mood to talk to anyone, let alone to System 0.

He got mad and couldn't contain himself anymore, that thing Cleo picked up from the wrecks needs to be taught a lesson.

Cheche got on alert and jumped from his seat, he stood on the sofa and turned to look at System 0 who had released a huge amount of mana, "it will do you no good System. I suggest you swallow what's left of you and leave me alone"

"I don't think so" cracking sound was heard clearly from his fingers, his anger had already reached its limit and he couldn't hold it in anymore. He summoned a spear from his inventory and aimed it at Cheche who grinned in exchange.

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Cheche's grin got wider before he disappeared in a blink. System 0 gasped but he collected himself at the last second and saved himself before he was stabbed by Che's blade-like hair.

System 0 jumped from the balcony and flew to the sky into the clouds, "where are you going~? I thought you'll be teaching me a lesson??!" Cheche's dark mana spread through him and ate him, he looked like a real monster at that moment and got System 0 worried and a little bit afraid.

When he finally reached the clouds and was about to start hiding, Cheche passed him in a step and appeared in front of him before he stabbed him with his blade-like hair, "all bark but no bite~" His happiness reached a very dangerous limit getting System 0's blood pressure to increase and his unbeaten heart to thump faster than the fastest thing in the world.

He, the system and the unliving creature, saw his whole life flashing in front of him, and the first person to come to his mind at that moment was Cleo. She was looking at him with her usual cold and empty eyes but as always, that flash of living and warmth in them made him hold tightly to his spear and try to free himself from the blades through his body.

He cut off some hair strands causing Cheche's anger to break the limits, after he managed to survive, he was faced with the worst thing possible, "you... You the good for nothing dared to cut off my hair like that?!?!" Cheche yelled and created black clouds and formed them above their heads.

System 0's eyes opened wide, and his breathing hitched, coldness started to spread through his body, and his danger alarm kept ringing inside his head warning him of a close end.

"Shit" he gulped watching the sky getting darker. He held his spear closely and started praying.

Coldness became unbearable and his mana was still decreasing for no reason, System 0's vision became blurry, and he was about to faint, but Cheche didn't let him.

Cheche hit him with a big purple and black lightning making System 0's body tremble in the sky. Threads of lightning held him still and Che approached him with his blades on set to go through his body again and swallow more of his mana.

When he was about to send his blades toward him, golden lightning struck between them and burnt more of his hair, "aaaaahhhh ughhhh!!! My beautiful hair!!" He yelled and turned to look at the cause of it, but he halted when he saw his master Cleo holding System 0 between her arms, and behind her were the Gods.

They all looked at him coldly making him tremble from fear and his tongue-twisting enabled him to say a word.

Cleo remained still for a few minutes before she nodded her head before something faster than Cheche held him still. When he looked back, he was faced with Horus's scary golden eyes, they were staring at him with unknown emotions.

"M- Mas-"

"No more words" she whispered but Cheche heard her clearly and before he knew it, he was unable to say a word.

Cleo stared at him with an unreadable face making Cheche tremble in fear before he escaped from Horus's clutches and flew away from them, deep into the desert.

"Keep an eye on him" she ordered the sand soldiers before they bowed and vanished through the sand land.

Cleo looked down at the man between her arms, her heart clenched annoyingly, but she ignored it and walked back to the temple where Cleopatra was waiting.

The two looked at each other sending some hidden signs before Cleopatra smiled and nodded her head, she walked out of the temple taking with her the Gods who were with Cleo a few minutes ago.

"Bring him here" a voice called for Cleo, when she turned back to see the owner of the voice, she was surprised it was none other than Ma'at, "Ma'at?" She stared at her with a smile on her face, but Ma'at lowered her head and pointed for Cleo to follow her.

They entered a big room with one bed in the middle, in the corners were candles hanging in the air and the roof was high for a 6-meter creature to enter without any problems.

Ma'at reached the bed first and asked Cleo to put System 0 on it. Once she did so, Sekhmet showed up and checked on System 0. With a sad face, she shook her head and fiddled with her fingers before she looked back at Cleo who the dark mana had eaten her face's left side.
