CHAPTER 113: KING OF GODS (2)

Although he has friends in Heaven, Hell and everywhere else, they cannot be compared to his wish to be with his friends on Earth. The memories caused him to fall into grief. It was a long time before he finally calmed down.

He wiped away all the remnants of his cries and slapped his face, which likely looked very bad if anyone saw it. After making sure his face was clean and looked calm, he walked toward one direction in the room. When he approached a mirrored wall, he entered it without hesitation. It took him to a palace ground belonging to him and his brother. Immediately, all the angels and special beings, no matter where they were, felt his powerful presence.

Santian, Dark Chronos, Andreit, Lisione, Ziphoteninx and Kironinx as well as the other angels sensed him. They all looked at one another with surprised expressions.

"Leo, we have to return now. We will handle Revioryx from here on," Santian told Leo, since he felt Leo was the leader of them after Kairi became unavailable.

By this time, everyone had moved to Econia since Antonia was no longer fit to be temporarily occupied. Leo nodded his head before he thanked the angels and bowed to them as a sign of respect. Auriga, who was with him, also followed his action.

Santian nodded at them. He then looked at Dark Chronos who had moved beside Dark Reammut, who he had no idea that she was Dark Chronos’ lover.

“Chronos, you are coming with us.” He sternly said.

Dark Chronos flinched. He looked hopeless at Dark Reammut.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“Where are you going?” Dark Reammut asked with a remnant tear in his eyes.

He had cried along with some others when they felt Kairi was dead. Dark Chronos takes a sharp breath. She looked so weak and cute in his eyes but he knew it wasn’t the best situation to tease her.

“I’m going to the Heaven realm for a moment.”

Well, he lied. He might not be able to meet her for a while. A while, which was in five years or ten years…?

He doesn’t know when he will be released after they announce his punishment. He only hopes that Dark Reammut didn’t forget him or leave him for another lover.

Dark Reammut, who didn’t know it, nodded his head. “Come back soon.”

“I will.”

Dark Chronos kissed her hair before he turned around and saw the shocked expression of Santian and other angels. He blinks his eyes at them while his face turns red slightly. He forgot that they don’t know that he had a human lover now.

Santian snapped from his shock first. He narrowed his eyes at Dark Chronos and gave him an indication that he wanted to know everything later. Dark Chronos replied with a roll of his eyes at him. Santian growled before he used his power to envelope all the angels and make them vanish from there. Ziphoteninx and Kironinx too were gone along with them since the sealed boxes were in their hands.

When they arrived in the Heaven realm, some angels and special beings welcomed them back and congratulated them on their victory of capturing Revioryx. They also were surprised to see Dark Chronos again.

A piece of peaceful music sounded around the Heaven realm. It was telling them to gather in the High Heaven Palace where their King and Queen reside. They all gathered in a large open hall there. Thousands of angels appear and take their place either on the hall surface or in the sky.

Zarikei and Junira appeared soon after on a high podium and sat on their prepared thrones. The thrones were facing all the angels and the special beings there. To the right of Zarikei, there were two more throne chairs. Both were empty of their occupier.

Ziphoteninx and Kironinx were confused. Shiroi should have appeared and occupied one of them. They looked at each other and felt worried for him.

"Where's King Shiroi?" Lisione asked Andreit beside her.

Andreit shrugged. "Don't ask me. I'm not his advisor."

Zarikei glanced at Shiroi's throne and after five minutes, Shiroi still didn't show up either. So, he started a trial about Revioryx's arrest. His eyes went to Dark Chronos who was staring at him with no emotion on his face.

Before the trial started, a male angel and a female angel who didn’t see Shiroi, disappeared from the hall. They appear inside Shiroi and Kiroki’s palace area and they have full access to enter it. For the others, they would only be allowed to appear outside the palace gate and not inside. The pair of angels were allowed because they were special to Shiroi and Kiroki.

Currently, both of them were walking into a huge chamber and looking for a glimpse of Shiroi in it.

"There." The female angel pointed at Shiroi who was sitting facing the outside.

He had opened a glass wall window where there was no balcony outside. Only a dead end and anyone without wings might fall if they passed through it. Shiroi's feet were seen dangling down the edge with his head resting against the wall. He doesn't notice the pair's presence until they touch his shoulder gently.

"Shiroi...?" They call him softly.

Shiroi's body flinched and this was the first time they saw him like this. It bothered them because Shiroi never showed he was unaware of his surroundings before. When Shiroi slowly looked at them, they were startled to see tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Oh, Shiroi. What’s wrong?" The female angel hugs Shiroi's head to her chest.

Shiroi didn't stop her, instead, raising his hands to hug her back.

"Mom..." He said slowly before raising his head to look at the male angel as well.

"Dad..."

Zagan hugged the two of them while kissing Shiroi's head. "Why are you crying, Shiroi? What made you so sad? Tell me and your mother." He asked before brushing Shiroi's head.

Shiroi closed his eyes. Fina released him and wiped away his tears with a piece of cloth that she summoned out.

"Tell mom and dad, Shiroi... What are you sad about? Maybe we could help you." She said to him.

Shiroi took a deep breath before he told them everything. Not just that. Because of his identity, it was inappropriate for him to stay on Earth anymore. But, he wishes to return there to be with his family and friends. However, his duty prevented him from doing that. He felt so miserable because of it. Due to these problems, he didn’t come to the trial which was being held in the palace hall. He doesn't want anyone to watch him like this.

Zagan and Fina looked at each other. They finally understood their son's problem. They hugged him again before releasing him soon after. Zagan patted his shoulders.

"Then go back to their side." He told Shiroi.

The latter was surprised and looked at his father.

"But, But dad… My duty… How can I leave?"

"Well, what’s the problem? There’s no problem at all if you go back to their side. After all, you can come back here anytime as you are now. You are Kings of Gods. Who would dare to stop you then?" Fina chuckled at his silly son's complicated thoughts.

His son was their leader. No one can stop him from doing what he wanted. Not even Zarikei or Junira. And she was sure both had no opinion on stopping Shiroi from seeing his family.

She pulled Shiroi's arm to stand up with her.

"Moreover, you have done the greatest task ever to capture Revioryx again. You can have a reward to leave in and out of this place. And rather than you growing a mushroom here, you better go and see your pregnant wife. You have lots of free time it seems." Zagan teased him.

Shiroi felt his parent’s words were true enough. Why did he make it so complicated because of his duty as King of Gods?

He still has a way to be with Aries, his child and his friends. When he thinks back, he still doesn’t have a queen who needs to be with him to rule all the angels and the special beings.

There was only one problem he needed to take note of. Aries was a human and not an angel. Not only that, Aries was likely to be looked down upon by all the female angels who felt she was unfit as their queen.

The problem did occur once for Zarikei but Zarikei ignored it and still chose Junira as his queen. However, Junira was an angel and not a human being. The issue died down after a few months of Zarikei living happily with Junira.

But, what about Aries who was a human being?

He became restless and depressed again. He worried for her life or forced her to bear the jealousy of other female angels later on.

"What’s wrong with you now?" Zagan raised one eyebrow at his son.

"Dad, I don't want to marry any angel other than my current wife. But the problem is that she is a human and not an angel. What if there are angels who are jealous of her and attack her? I can't protect her at all times." Shiroi told them his worries.

Zagan and Fina made a frustrating sigh. Does their son ever understand his powerful identity?

"Shiroi, you are the King of Gods. No one would dare to step on you if they don’t want to feel your wrath. As for your wife, Aries, she would only suffer a little from their words but she just needs to ignore them. The problem with her as your wife will die down sooner or later. So, stop worrying about it.” Fina scolded him.

"Oh... Right... Erm... Okay, I'm going back to Earth again. Mom, dad, thank you for scolding me and made me realise how stupid I am." Shiroi hugged them both tightly and thanked them so much for staying and comforting him.

He moved backwards and let himself fall from the open window. Zagan and Fina watch him with smiles on their lips.

"Don't forget to visit us! And tell Kiroki, mom and dad love and miss him too!" Fina shouted at him.

"Okay!" Shiroi replied as his body plummeted down fast into the cloudy sky.

He was gone afterwards.
