Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 242: Before The Ten Battles

Victoria wanted to sit beside Zach, and for that, she had to fight with Aria and win against her in the game of rock, paper, and scissors.

Fortunately, she won and earned the right to sit beside Zach. However, when Victoria turned to Zach to sit beside them, there was someone else sitting there.

It was a nun with blond curly hair from the bottom. Her face was as white as milk, and her body was developed from the right parts.

"…!" Victoria's face twitched when she saw her because she had recognized the nun.

Of course, the nun was none other than Ninia.

"What are you doing there?!" Victoria shouted. "That's my seat you are sitting on and my man you are sitting with."

Ninia hugged Zach's arm and said, "But I was waiting for him to visit me ever since he ascended."

"I don't care. I have been waiting for him for much longer than you," Victoria remarked.

She grabbed Ninia's hand and tried to pull her, but she wasn't budging.

'She is stronger than I thought!'

Of course, Victoria could easily pull Ninia away if she used her full powers according to her stats.

Even after all that, Ninia didn't let go of Zach's arm.

"Zach! Why are you sitting there like that?! Say something!" Victoria yelled at Zach. "I am supposed to sit there!"

Zach wanted to have some more fun, but he didn't want to tease Victoria more. He knew that she had a short temper, and she would run away if she got furious.

Zach smiled at Ninia and patted her head before saying, "Ninia. Can you sit with the other girl?"

"What do you mean by the other girl, huh?! I am your wife!" Aria remarked.

"Can you sit with my yelling wife?" Zach asked again.

"Okay…" Ninia muttered with a dejected look on her face.

Ninia got up and sat on the opposite seat from Zach, and Aria sat beside her.

Zach then looked at Victoria and said, "My lap is empty, in case you want to sit."

Of course, Zach meant that as a joke to tease Victoria, but Victoria took it seriously.

She sat on Zach's lap and glanced at Aria and Ninia, who were staring at her with dumbfounded looks on their faces.

Even Zach was surprised, but he was happy that Victoria was sitting on his lap.

Soon after that, they ordered the food.

At first, Ninia refused to eat with them and said she was only there to meet Zach, but when Zach insisted on her, she agreed.

"So? What's your story? You said Elliott pulled a cheeky move. What did he do?" Zach asked Victoria.

"First, tell me the reason why we are getting this special treatment and why you are being treated like a celebrity? It's true that you saved all of them, but I don't think that's the sole reason why they would show such hospitality," Victoria stated.

"Long story short…" Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "I became a god."

"Umm… did you not tell me this before?" Victoria wondered with a puzzled look on her face.

"Yeah, but at that time, I only had the… Uhh… Godship?" Zach turned to Aria and asked, "Is that a word?"

Aria nodded in response and said, "It is."

"Okay. So I was already a god, but now I have become a real god," Zach said to Victoria and made her more confused.

"…"

"In short, I now have followers who worship me daily…"

"What?!" Victoria exclaimed. "You are making them worship you?!"

"I am not—"

"He is not. Please do not accuse my lord of something like that," Ninia quipped and glared at Victoria. "My lord protected us and asked me to get him followers. But I never forced anyone to become his followers. I simply proposed the idea of him being our god, and told them his promises."

After a brief pause, Ninia continued, "The attack last week made all of us realize how weak and hopeless we were. So now, we need to grow stronger with the help of our Lord."

"…"

"We are giving our faith and loyalty to our Lord, and our lord is benefitting us in return," Ninia asserted with a proud face.

"Oh?" Victoria curiously raised her brows and asked, "What did he promise you?"

"He promised us many things, out of which one was that we would be able to evolve and get strong," Ninia replied in a calm voice.

"Did he show you any proof or live demonstration?"

"No. But I believe in my lord, and so do all his followers."

Victoria looked into Zach's eyes and squinted her eyes as though she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it in front of Ninia.

However, Zach had a pretty firm guess on What Victoria wanted to say.

Do you think you can do that?

Victoria wanted to ask that to Zach because she was anxious whether Zach could really do it or not.

It wasn't as though she didn't believe him, but she was worried about the consequences of what might happen if Zach couldn't do it.

While Victoria may not know everything about Zach, out of all the girls, she knew the most about him. She knew Zach's nasty and arrogant side, and she had dealt with him. 

Of course, both Victoria and Zach had changed now, and they realized there were other things than love that mattered in a relationship.

A few minutes later, the food arrived, and they started eating. But Zach was still curious about Victoria.

"So… when are you telling your part of the story?" Zach asked impatiently.

SIGH!

Victoria sighed and uttered, "Elliott wasn't letting me go."

"…"

"He started saying mean things and in the end, he started bad-mouthing about you too. He even denied my resignation letter," she added.

"But didn't he already sign it? How can he deny it after signing it?"

"He only signed it, he didn't stamp the seal on the letter. And thus, it was in waiting," Victoria sighed.

"What did you do then?"

Victoria shrugged her shoulders and said, "I ran away."
