Kiro decided to leave the conversation. They were debating about a lot of different possibilities, but he was on his phone, before he could forgot he needed to do what Philip asked.
The girls didn't have a hard time accepting the news. They could see and feel how the others were, ontop of that, Hiro had recorded everything the system had explained to them. Making it easy to be believable even though the story sounded bogus.
"So the world of Asgard is like a failsafe world, since we humans aren't trustworthy? I'd like a word with these gods." Saanvi commented seriously.
"He's dying, you know?" Kiro said taking his eyes off his phone for a second. "Chronos, with all the meddling he did, it ended up killing him. He doesn't have a lot of time left."
"But he's a god?" Isla was utterly confused.
"Yes. And even gods have rules they cannot break but he gave his life for us. We better do him proud." He told them seriously.
He immediately went back to his phone, he was in the middle of writing and buttering his father's company products. But the room was now buried deep in silence.
What he said made the people within it feel bad for the dying god. They felt guilt, a being they've never even met, a being they never even knew existed, had been doing something so big behind the scenes ensuring their survival.
"I didn't mean it in a depressing way, he's way too cool about this whole dying thing. I just wanted you guys to know the sacrifices that brought us here."
"Wouldn't that make you Kiro an old ass man?" Ishaan laughed.
"Maybe if he was reincarnated or something. But the god simply turned back the time with his memories intact. If you think about it, we went back too, we just don't remember." Hiro surmised logically.
Ishaan gave him a dirty look, he hadn't thought about it like that. This made him feel like the idiot in the group.
"I guess Ishaan is the dumbest one amongst us." Felix snorted.
Kiro didn't want his advertisement to include the kid of an enemy company and his side piece. The fight changed every 7 seconds, transitioning to another fight.
At the very end, Kiro's avatar would appear saying: "Only your true blood awakening can make you that strong. Order a pod from Waynworth Enterprise or buy it starting on Saturday and stand a chance to win a true blood potion to test your limits on a new pod."
He felt bad using something so precious to bait buyers. But if he could use the situation to further elevate his family then that's what he would do.
They needed more guardians anyway, he was going to be the one choosing the lucky winners. So he didn't think there was much exploitation happening.
[Popular player on Asgard Online, Kiro, recently came out with new information. Revealing the secrets to his power and those closest to him. They've been hogging this power since the beginning, but now that they need something from the public, it is revealed. What are your thoughts viewers?]
Viewer 1: It's only natural. Nothing is for free in this world, if he came out with this information claiming it was free, I would've been more skeptical.
Viewer 2: I disagree. This Kiro pretended to sympathise with the poor because he was one of them at one point, but now that he's up there with the rich. He's doing as the rich do.
Viewer 3: I don't want to lie, you sound very jealous.
Viewer 1: He does. I've done some research on the Waynworth Enterprise. They employ the poor, mostly from the lower district and they're paid properly, not overworked. This is a company we should be supporting.
Viewer 4: Always looking for handouts. This company isn't going to last long before it comes crashing down, the most successful companies in our country do well because they're cutthroat.
Viewer 1: You mean by exploiting workers?
Viewer 3: Too truth. Slavery and exploitation, no wonder they're so rich, they don't consider the people who actually make their companies work.
Of course these viewers were so brave to call out the rich because they were promised anonymity.
