Chapter 48 White House 2

"Ya.s.sas," Zeus greeted. Zero had to bend his neck all the way back to look at Zeus who was in his t.i.tan form. He was big before but now, he's now gigantic! Zero marvelled over the t.i.tan and tripped over a step. Luckily, Freya was still holding onto his hand so he didn't greet the floor with his face. What Zero didn't know was how Gaia had shot out a branch behind him when he tripped or how Truen had already rushed forward to catch him if he fell backwards. Even En was ready for action but n.o.body reacted when they saw how Freya had it under control.

Sedna smiled sadly. They were going to miss him a lot. Even though Zero hasn't been with them for long, their hearts already belonged to him. The thought of him leaving hurt but the thought of losing him hurt more. Even En who wasn't a social person has become fairly attached to the young boy. The most they could do was prepare Zero for his adventure and send him off with their blessings and perhaps their smiles.

Once they arrived, only Truen looked slightly tired from the long climb. An elf's const.i.tution might be better than most but this flight of stairs can still be daunting for a mortal. Zero didn't look affected but Truen wasn't surprised. After all, the Great G.o.ds might have something to do with this.

Standing beside Zeus was Hades - En's father. Hades wasn't as huge as Zeus but he looked completely different from before. Zero couldn't recognise him at first glance. The Hades Zero knew was literally made of bones. If it wasn't for the black oversized robe, the young boy would have thought he was a different person. Hades had black eyes and hair with pale skin and a very thin build. He was a complete contrast from Zeus who was muscular, tan skinned with silver hair. Now that he noticed the change, Zero took a look at the G.o.ddesses. Freya's hair was literally on fire like when she was in teacher mode. Gaia had become more treelike with vines and barks growing on her body. Sedna's legs had transformed into a fish's tail and she had gills by the side of her neck. Isis was the only one who didn't look very different but she gave off an aura of power that Zero never experienced before. Even En had an extra eye on his forehead!

As Zero approached big Zeus and Hades, he realised that he missed out on Buddha. The Sage G.o.d also had a slightly different appearance. His normal skin colour and black hair turned completely gold. The white table with floating orbs was a little too high for Zero to see what was on it. Truen was stiff in the presence of so many Great G.o.ds. Even Enma seemed slightly uncomfortable as he greeted Hades.

Normally, Hades would run over to hug his son but this time, he only nodded. Freya let go of Zero's hand gently and the Great G.o.ds got into their position around the white table. En took over and guided Zero to a side while the Great G.o.ds, with Buddha's help, started to chant.

"What are they doing?" Zero whispered to En.

The King of Trials took this opportunity to carry Zero in his arms. "They are preparing the spell needed to send you and Truen to Earth."

Zero looked surprised. That was rather quick and sudden! He wasn't mentally prepared for this with everything happening so quickly. Was he never going to see them again? Unknowingly, the young boy began to sob.

En and Truen tried their best to comfort Zero but the sobs had escalated to broken wails. Even the Great G.o.ds preparing the spell were slightly affected.

At this moment, three ladies made their presences known at the top of those steps. They were dressed in white, lilac and yellow gowns.
