Chapter 276 Prepare For The Worst#2

"Why have you called us here?" The blue horned monster spoke as she looked around. She was the Queen of Envy. Her powers were to control the mist all around her and change its properties as she desired.

"What's the meaning of this? How can a light bearer exist here!!" A bit shaken, the King of Sloth spoke looking around, wondering what exactly was going on. He was the fastest among all the Kings, enough to destroy the whole Netherrealm by himself if Theia or the other 6 Kings didn't exist to stop him.

"I sense danger… from you!" pointing at me, a thin old senile demon with two crimson horns spoke as he observed me. The King of Gluttony spoke as his body was slightly shaking. Holding the power to consume anything, this guy was a menace to defeat, even in my previous timeline. He could literally eat any attack I threw at him.

"Who is this cutie?" The Queen of Lust spoke as she crossed her four arms before looking at me with an erotic look. Her ability to change forms into anything was quite dangerous. It wasn't just limited to looks. If she is copying anyone on an equal level, she can even copy that person's moves. Her most powerful move allowed her to use all the powers and forms she had ever used in her life all at once, without any limitations.

"I sense a strange aura from him," the King of Wrath spoke as he keenly observed me. His eyes were quite sceptical of me and it didn't seem like he liked me. Even last time, he was the same as now. Well, he has his own uses. His specialty in learning almost any weapon he saw quite proficiently, allowed him to reign over Netherrealm as one of the Seven Kings.

"Why am I even here?" spoke the child-like monster. The King of Greed as he looked at me with a not so interested face. His eyes were a bit tired, and it seemed like he had feasted on another monster today. His powers were special among all the Seven Kings. The ability to use other's desires for his own containment. He can literally manifest what you want and use it for himself in front of you… The only limitations are his own thinking ability.

"I wonder why I have been called here," said a curious voice as the girl observed me with a small cute face. The Queen of Pride observed me with a slight smile. Her ability involved using any deep desires of her opponent to crumble their motivation, faith, or perhaps anything that might uplift them. She can literally erase your reason for living without blinking an eye.

I observed all seven of them with a slight nostalgia before I looked at Pride first,

"Leyla is going to die soon… I came here with news and a story to tell."

Pride's eyes open wide as her smile vanished, and I turned to Envy

"Your daughter is still alive. Living her life, saving everyone she can."

Envy just looked at me blankly…

In reality, all these Kings had a life on Planet Vermillion before, which they left behind. Rather than taking rebirth, they decided to move on and live in Netherrealm by themselves. While fighting against them in the previous timeline, I kind of killed them thousands of times. Though, it wasn't just fights that occurred. They sometimes told me about their lives back when they were alive on planet Vermillion.

Envy and Pride were human, so finding them was easy. In fact, Envy's daughter is the current Saintess looking over the Church of Orion. Hmmmm… I think I should visit Church of Orion soon as well.

"Who are you?!!" Gluttony spoke with a shaken voice as he understood what I was getting at.

"Your family heritage is dead, old man. Kind of wiped out by the Scarlets," I told him and he was first shocked, soon sighed as he spoke,"well.. That was inevitable, I guess."

Gluttony was a vampire in his previous life.

Soon, I spoke to Greed, Wrath, Sloth and finally reached Lust in whose eyes I looked directly, making her gulp a little.

"What… What about me?" she asked, a bit shaken as she stopped looking at me as if I were a toy. I sighed before shaking my head as I spoke,"he left you. He cried for about 3 years or so before someone else entered in his life. It was difficult for him to move on but he did…" I trailed off in the end, but she caught on to it as she looked at me with a slightly furious face.

"He was killed… or more like butchered by that girl's family when they found out about their marriage. Their family killed both of them and threw them to ravens… it wasn't a happy ending but… I guess it is what it is," I had a sad, apologetic expression on my face as I observed her.

Just by recalling what happened to her most loved person, I kind of… wanted to help her out. Though I still have a lot on my plate, I don't think I can help any more people here.

-Phew!!! I saw her taking a deep breath before she asked me,"can I ask you what family was it? The one who killed my husband and his later wife?"

I smiled before speaking,"Askerbans." She smiled a little before speaking,"I… kind of want to die right now… but it's sad that we are not capable of doing that. So tell me young kid… what do you want from us? There must be a reason that you came all the way to the Netherrealm. Though if it is too much, I am afraid that we can't do anything about it."

I looked at the others and they seemed to be having the same thought, or at least they wanted to know the reason why I was here.

"Well.. to be honest. We have a tiny miny problem coming our way," I spoke with a slight smile as I observed them, making them look at me with a curious face.

It was about preparing for step one… against the Parasites who were going to invade the Netherrealm.
