Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 392: Thank me__

The old deity casually reminded Scarlet of a fact that she knew all too well. She recalled the story about grim reapers, children, deities, betrayal of humans and so on. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Her hands that were already on her abdomen moved to wrap her entire upper body in a defensive mode. She suddenly felt sick, as if a fever had invaded her body and settled inside her like a parasite.

Why was it suddenly cold? she wondered.

"Stop it Carnelia." she heard the old deity order the fire goddess.

When Scarlet turned her trembling gaze on to the fire goddess, it was then that she noticed what she was doing. she was playing with clouds and sending a chill her way.

"This is why we left you out, you can’t tell when it’s time to play or when it’s time to mean serious business." Lythia told her.

"Oh please, she is fine, all those little girls in her womb are fine and completely spiritual. They are natural born grim reapers waiting to be born. You are the one’s frightening her unnecessarily." Carnelia let go of the clouds and sent some warm air Scarlet’s way with a red string.

"Look, the problem with grim reapers was one. Your kind could only have one child every one thousand years. You must know that for someone to be told they can only have one child, it would kind of mess them up when it comes to that child. It’s kind of like you and that spoiled brat you are raising, what’s his name...mm.. Justin."

She conjured up an image of Justin on Scarlet’s back, the image changed to her taking him shopping, him whining about wanting to eat coconut cake.

"You give that boy almost everything he asks for. It was the same way with reapers, they gave their children everything because of the restriction, one per thousand years.

But you see, this would not have been a problem if they only partnered up with fellow grim reapers and had spiritual children, not human ones. But, some reapers did what you are doing, they married humans and had human children. You know the rest of the story, they betrayed us by trying to find ways to make human children immortal. They started doing all sorts of abominable acts.

We are not just protecting you because of the value of your children to the underworld. We are also protecting humans from you or the potential for what you could turn into. You should be thanking me and embracing me for marking your child.

My seed of fire is an extra guarantee that your children will be born supernatural."

"Why?" Scarlet blurted. "Why are my

children so important?"

"I will take this one." The old deity said.

He waved his hand and conjured up images of the underworld realm, "Millions of years ago, the underworld was self sustaining and efficient. We had no shortage of grim reapers because reapers could reproduce. But then, after the mess and the curse placed on them by the god of life, we started experiencing a shortage.

More worlds, more wars, more chaos but less reapers. That’s when we started using dead humans with strong souls, turning them into reapers. But as you know, strong souls are one in millions, they are rare. Until now, we are still facing a shortage of reapers in the underworld. Your children are very important to us for this reason. Natural born reapers don’t even need soul pets because they are strong beyond what you all can imagine."

"Trust us and believe that we want the best for you." Lythia added to the old deity’s words.

"I think I am going to be sick." Scarlet said.

"You just need to lay down and sleep." Carnelia told her.

"Should I give you some rejuvenation water?" Lythia asked.

Scarlet shook her head slowly and sighed, rubbing her belly in a circular motion. What she needed was to lay down and process this information while figuring out how she would be handling it.

When did she even get pregnant? she wondered.

"I would say around the very first time you started having unprotected sex." Carnelia whispered in her ear.

She hissed, glared and stepped away from the fire goddess.

"Stay out of my mind." she told her.

This was not one of those moments where she needed or wanted the deities listening in on her thoughts.

"Eh." goddess Carnelia shrugged.

"Should I sleep over again?" Lythia asked her.

"Ouuh, a sleep over, count me in." Carnelia said.

Scarlet replied hastily, "No, no, and no to everything. I need to think, or breathe away from you all temporarily. Just tell me if there is something that I should do to ensure that the pregnancy is stable."

Her hands had not left her perfectly flat belly ever since she heard the news. She could not figure out how she was close to seven months pregnant but there was not a single sign to show for it.

At this stage, Mega was swollen and always complaining about her feet. Her pregnancy was truly a unique one, a two year long pregnancy, how weird. It also hit her that she had a myriad of unanswered questions.

"Should I be reaping souls in my condition? I fought an escaped soul from hell, oh my god did I infect myself with evil energy? What about my flame, is it safe for the babies? And intimacy, should I be having sex? Are there herbs or things I am supposed to eat?"

"You are fine, nothing has changed." Carnelia told her.

"Just keep eating the hell fruits. Born from seeds of the tree of life, they practically pump life into your children in spiritual form. When it’s detected by human means, you can stop eating the fruit." Lythia added.

Goddess Carnelia came closer again, pushed Scarlet’s hair to the side and whispered softly, "And don’t worry about sex, have as much as you want. You can do it all night if you want to, as hard and rough as you need to. You can do it at any time, anywhere, with any...."

"I get it, I get it, sheesh, you don’t have to go into certain details." Scarlet pulled herself away from the fire goddess.

What was wrong with her? She loved invading her space so much, every chance that she got.

"Let’s go Carnelia." The old deity grabbed Carnelia’s arm and vanished with her.

"Come to me if you need anything or have any questions." Lythia told her and then she vanished as well.

Scarlet and Severus remained, and they looked at each other.

"Well, it’s just us two now." Severus said.

"Uh -huh." she answered.

"Are you still going to talk to your citizens or should we go and cultivate so that you can calm down." he asked her.

She raised her finger, bent over with a hand on her stomach and threw up loudly.

"I guess we are throwing up first." Severus muttered.
