God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 320 For the reasons unknown to you



320  For the reasons unknown to you

-BOOM!!

Aarick got punched hard and pushed back from that girl. Landing quite far from here, I saw his body being torn into shreds with that.

"One down, two more to go," she said as she looked at me and Diaspora.

"My Queen!! Please listen to us!!!" Diaspora shouted at the Queen, trying to make her listen to her words. Though looking at that apathetic expression, it didn't seem like she was in the mood to.

-BOOOM!!!

Aarick, who came back from the dead in an instant, punched her away, making her look at him with a surprised look.

"Bloody hell." Aarick wiped out the blood on his face as he glared at the Queen.

[Warp!]

I warped right behind her as she was flying away and positioned myself for another slash.

"Futile attempts," the Queen muttered as she looked at me from the corner of her eyes. I could see her entire body glowing the same way when I had slashed her last time.

[Ground Zero: One Slash!]

[Temporal Redo!]

Though the impact was at least 100 times more than before… so, being carried against the momentum, she was cut apart by my sword from the waist before her two pieces flew even further away.

Aarick reached me and said," Did you get her?"

"Nope. She is still alive," I sighed, as I still didn't get any information from the System. Seems like I might need to try a bit harder next time.

"Ah! Shucks!" Aarick clicked his tongue with surprise as he observed something where the Queen was thrown away to.

"Eh? What did she do this time?" I asked, as I looked at her more carefully. And within a few seconds it became more clear… she was growing from her waist down. But that was not just all.

Her lower body was also growing the upper part independently on the other.

"Tell me there is a reduction in their power at least," I asked with a flabbergasted face. If they both had the same power as the original, doesn't that mean that cutting her apart is no longer allowed?

"About 90% of the original strength," Aarick spoke as he smiled before taking out his sword too. Seems like we really are cutting apart the Queen into pieces until she dies.

"Hey! Didn't you both promise to give me a chance to talk to her?" Diaspora spoke out as she observed us getting ready to really kill the Queen.

"Yeah, and we saw how fine that worked out. If you want to talk to her, then do it with your own power," I said as I concentrated on going all out again.

"How am I supposed to do that?" she spoke in slight frustration.

"Heh. Try harder," Aarick spoke before he vanished towards the two Queens with all his power, as soon as he reached them, one of them vanished before appearing behind Aarick.

"Ah! Fuck!" Aarick cursed as he noticed himself being sandwiched between the two Queens, about to become minced meat.

[Warp!]

Within a second, I appeared in between as I touched Aarick and

[Warp!]

Warped him behind one of the Queens. Realizing what I did, he didn't miss his chance as

[Ground Zero: First Slash!]

He cut apart the Queen into two pieces with all his might. The other Queen almost reached him. She had already chanted a dark spell, creating some strange shuriken shaped dark mass.

[Warp!]

[Ground Zero: First Slash!]

[Temporal Redo!]

But I cut her apart from behind too, smiling as I spoke," did you just forget about me, darling?"

"Insects!" the top half of the one I slashed spoke out in quite pain and anger. Though rather than growing again, her body, both of them, turned into ashes before flying around, mixing with the blood red sakura leaves as they hurled around us in circles.

[Warp!]

I reached Diaspora, touched her back.

[Warp!]

And brought her with us in the circle. I didn't know what she was trying to do, but it would be easier to protect her this way.

"Aren't you a bit too much of a nice guy?" Aarick asked as he looked at me while I didn't speak any word as I smiled at him.

"Forget about me. What are we going to do with this never ending battle?" I asked Aarick, as I don't see it ending anytime soon, to be honest. Though my question irritated him as he asked back,

"How the heck would I know?! You are the one who brought us here in the first place!!"

"Okay. Okay. No need to shout… let me figure out a way from here then," I spoke as I shook my head before looking at all the leaves surrounding us. I wonder if there is any skill that I can use here that would help us.

As I was thinking, I heard Diaspora shouting out loud,

"MY QUEEN! I AM YOUR GUARDIAN! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US!!! WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM THE CHAMBER WHICH YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT? WHY WAS IT ALL EMPTY?? ANSWER ME QUEEN!!! WHY WEREN'T YOU THERE? WASN'T IT OUR TASK AS PLIENTHORIANS???!!!!"

Man o man! Was she trying to irk her out instead?

Though supposedly it seems to work as the swirling leaves around us calmed down a bit before we see the figure of the Queen floating up in the air not too far from us.

"Should I whack her again?" Aarick asked just for confirmation, but I pondered over it before speaking," let's wait and listen. I will signal if I feel anything is wrong."

[Eyes of the TimeKeeper (Foresight)!]

The Queen floated in the air as she observed and looked at the three of us. She first looked at Aarick and I for a couple of seconds,

"Cockroaches," she muttered with her face a bit irritated. Though mostly it was apathetic.

"She is talking about you," Aarick spoke to me as he looked seriously at the Queen.

"You clearly haven't seen a mirror, have you?" I joked back with a smirk, without turning away from the Queen.

The Queen, however, turned no heed to our words as she turned to Diaspora,

"Our protectors abandoned us. The planet was lost… everyday I died to protect something that I didn't even know the purpose of. Just because people said that it is important, I suffered for decades because of that… Do you know what it means to be lonely? Do you understand what it means to live for a reason that you don't even know the purpose of?"

"But didn't we do the same?" Diaspora spoke as she looked at the Queen with a complex face. She was still failing to understand the words of the Queen.

"My child. You are not immortal, so you died in a matter of a few decades protecting us. After all, your life force could only support you for a few more years after the cruel yet tragic war… but I am an immortal, I cannot die no matter how much I want to," the Queen told us another piece of information that kinda shocked Diaspora.

"But that wasn't even the worst…" the Queen made a sad expression as she revealed another shocking piece of information.
