The God of War
Zhou Sacrifice
The Goddess Benzaiten again laughed thunderously at Zhou's words that sounded very naive to him. But he finally began to answer it with an answer that was enough to make Zhou and the two soldiers surprised instead of playing.
"All right! I'll take that curse! But you have to give me something, Hades!! I asked for your life!!" said Benzaiten again sticking out his split tongue closer to Zhou who was still in the golden shield of Zhou.
Zhou was stunned for a while and still looked at Goddess Benzaiten. It was a difficult choice, but the worry was only for a moment he felt. Until finally he began to answer the Goddess Benzaiten with confidence.
"All right! If my life can make Goddess Benzaiten lift the curse, then I will give it to you." she replied without the slightest hesitation etched into her pair of eyes. Very honest and brave. Both of these things were always reflected in Zhou's eyes.
It is only an indescribable determination to create a peaceful world without destruction due to the greed of the demon soul or other beings.
"Sssss ..." The giant snake with white scales was hissing and getting closer to Zhou.
"Pa-nglima Zhou .. don't do this .. This is not true! If there's no more Commander Zhou to accompany us, then how can we deal with all this chaos" said one of the soldiers, who seemed to strongly disagree with all of this.
"True, Commander Zhou .. We beg you not to do all this. We can't face all this chaos. During this time while on the battlefield, we only moved and fought on the orders of the Zhou commander only. Then what if Commander Zhou instead sacrificed himself like this?" the other soldiers started to make a sound.
Zhou was silent for a few moments filled with immortality. His gaze was momentarily low and sideways. Actually he did not have the heart to leave them, but his determination was already strong. And he would still choose the same thing to protect this world. By sacrificing himself.
"How's Hades? They didn't let you go? Are you going to put it back and go back to your place? Ssssss ..." san Dewi Benzaiten asked as if underestimating Zhou.
"I'll stick to my choice! But can you keep your promise? After I give my life to me, will you be able to keep your promise to release the curse on the Star God?" Zhou looked up again at the beautiful crowned giant snake.
"I'm Benzaiten will always hold my word! It is greedy men who always cannot keep their promises! Ssss .. You need not doubt my words, O brave man! Sssss ..."
Zhou took a deep breath, and this time was ready to do what he had chosen.
"Soldier Ieyasu, soldier Toda! After this, go to the south sea and meet Seiryu! He will lead you to the bottom of the sea of death. Find and meet the core of the Star God soul and tell us our purpose to meet him!" edit Zhou slightly glanced sideways with his tailed eyes.
The two soldiers still looked doubtful and did not answer immediately. They were still too heavy to carry out Zhou's orders.
"This is my command!! Do this job well!" zhou again stressed.
"Ba-well, Commander Zhou ... we will do the duty of Commander Zhou well!" said the warrior Ieyasu with a firm but quivering voice.
His pair of beads had also been flushed and juicy. He still did not expect that Zhou, who was none other than the first prince of the Fumio empire, would willingly sacrifice himself like this. But there was no choice but to obey his orders. And from this moment on, he promised himself to serve fully with all his soul.
"We will risk our lives and try our best, Commander Zhou!" added soldier Toda menyauti.
"Let's do it .." Zhou slowly closed her pair of eyes preparing to be a meal of Goddess Benzaiten.
"Ssttt .. very delicious and sweet meat. I can smell it .. sssss ..."
The white-scaled large snake further opened its mouth wide and approached Zhou. He intended to eat Zhou. And it really happened.
While the warrior Ieyasu and the warrior Toda turned their faces away, they could not bear to see all this. Even the two of them also shed tears watching as Goddess Benzaiten completely devoured Zhou.
The sacrifices made by Zhou were so great and made the feelings of the two soldiers raging into one. Between sad, moved, proud all raging into one.
Meanwhile in the belly of Goddess Benzaiten ...
Still with his eyes closed, Zhou was still able to breathe as before. He is alive and feeling well. It's just a little dark and narrow. Like being in a cave that is minimal with lighting.
Zhou decided to sit cross-legged and meditate. Not to fight, but he only prayed that the destruction in this world would not really happen because of the actions of Zeus and his kirasodo heirloom.
Suddenly there was a blinding light illuminating the surroundings, Zhou also began to listen back to a voice echoing in the belly of Goddess Benzaiten. But he remained silent and continued to pray.
"Prince Hadess! You are a very brave human being! You have sacrificed yourself just to free the Star God and help this world from destruction. You are so noble-hearted. You're different. And because of you, I've changed my outlook on humans. I'll undo the curse for the Star God ..."
The voice of the Goddess Benzaiten echoed, but it could only be heard by Zhou. While the two bodyguards began to step several meters away from the place.
But a dazzling light began to shine right behind the two soldiers. And they gloriously turned around to see what was going on right now.
A dazzling bluish-white light the size of a giant white snake slowly began to shrink and with the loss of the figure of the huge snake.
The light circled around, wrapped around like a snake moving smaller and smaller. Until finally began to look the figure of Zhou who was still sitting cross-legged with eyes that were still closed.
While not far from Zhou, there was the figure of a beautiful girl in her white-coated robe that was so shining. She wore a beautiful crown with the symbol of a white snake. Both of his hands looked up, and a crystal ball was floating above his two hands.
"Go and do your job well! Take this resource stone of mine. Give it to the Star God and the curse will soon be released." said the beautiful woman who is none other than the incarnation of the Goddess Benzaiten.
