Livestream Hero

Chapter #41: [PLANET LIBRA: ARRIVAL]

"Oi, clean freak. What are you dazing about?", Tatsumi raised at Shido's strange behavior. Although he had known a hint of his past, he was still confused on how did he obtain the [Morning Star].

"Right, you don't know don't you? Three years ago, the Goddess of Raging Light had given me this Ancient Relic directly... She also left a word to me.", Shido said, taking a sip of his drink.

"An Ancient God?! Is she beautiful?!", Tatsumi cried out, his eyes turning into stars. He played his drink like a charlatan imitating some villain.

"Are you an idiot?", Shido asked in disbelief, staring at the chunni with annoyance for a moment before continuing. "No mortal can survive staring at an Ancient God's face.", He finished, wiping his mouth off with a handkerchief.

"What did she say? Is it 'Oh great chosen one!' or 'You who'll save the world.', The chunni smirked at his own statement, fantasizing the scene with... Of course himself as the one being spoken to.

In response, Shido merely looked at him with disgust and scoffed.

"Of course not, you stupid chuuni. She only said that 'We share some similarities', and to this day, I still don't know what she meant.", Shido stared at the ground for a minute, a bit ashamed that he still wasn't able to discern what the Ancient God had been meaning.

Tatsumi also thought for a small moment, but quickly brushed it off as he realized that he also won't be able to solve the statement as he doesn't know enough about Shido.

"So, how are we going to find this LightSeeker?", Tatsumi asked Shido, changing the topic.

A grin formed on Shido's face, making Tatsumi wonder just what he's thinking.

"I think I know how...", Shido begun, staring at the horizon with his growing smirk.

"There was another existence who appeared back then, not too long before this 'LightSeeker' appeared... But his most notable deed... Is that he was able to defy Karma.", Shido explained.

"What do you mean?", Tatsumi's eyes narrowed. He knew what the other teen meant, as it caused a controversy that shook the world of Extraordinaries. The appearance of a mysterious figure who healed every living thing that was able to hear his tune, as well as manipulate the environment itself without much effort, has taken them all aback.

"No mortal can defy a Deity's rule without intervention... And even then, only a very few could intervene and completely stop a Deity's rule.", At this statement, Tatsumi's eyes widened, as he realized what Shido was saying. Shido's stare and grin was now directed on him.

"I think we need to investigate this 'LiveStream Hero'."

.....

"Zen...", Karisa's figure shows up, and no sooner, besides her were AstroSuit, Ace, Sun, as well as the Triplets.

"The old man was captured... And Tatsumi...", Karisa quietly reported, trying to hide her disdain, which was luckily easier since their leader had his back turned on them.

"I see... You may leave...", The deep voice of their leader echoed through the dark halls, which immediately made them all leave. Despite their disdain, they still couldn't stand Zen's dark and oppressive presence that weighed the room and devoured light.

As they left, Zen let out a quiet sigh. He was smart enough to deduce what had happened and only let out a tired expression, as he remembered the feeling that he hadn't felt for sometime yesterday.

The birth of a World Hopper.

"The 7th one...", He muttered, pausing and gazing at the thundercloud covered horizon. "... As the 1st one, I think it's my job to give you a warm welcome.", As he said so, his mouth morphed into a grin, revealing his sharp, dragon-like teeth.
