Chapter 60: Silva's Choice.
Chapter 60: Silva's Choice.
Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
10 People were standing in row in front of Marek, everyone with a Solemn Gaze.
Marek was standing in front of them, in silence, for long seconds. Before finally speaking here:
"Before we proceed with the transformation. I will start by doing something, I've been wanting to do for a long time."
He sighed deeply
"I will undo the Kotoamatsukami on the Zoldyck Family."
All the members of the Zoldyck Family had weird faces when they heard that
Like it evoked something to them, something they knew, but they couldn't point their mind on it. He looked at Silva deeply, with a long smile with his face:
"I know, it might be only 10 days for you, Silva. But I have passed 10 years with some members of your family. And I, now, hold too much affection for them, to continue using 'that' on them."
He looked at each member of the Zoldyck Family, his smile still plastered on his face.
"But it is still, your decision, Silva. Whatever you decide, I won't get in your way."
Silva still had a hard time understanding what the Monarch was saying. But the quick-witted Ezio had understood the meaning in those words.
He slowly readied himself for combat as he gave the signal to the others to do the same.
Marek stopped him in his tracks:
"Ezio! Don'tJust don't"
His eyes turned into Galactic-like Eyes!
"Reverse Kotoamatsukami!"
Suddenly Memories started downing on each one of them, memories of the attack that day, memories of their defeat and memories of that meaningful last talk.
Zeno, Silva, Killua, Kuroto and Illumi all had weird glint in their eyes.
The tension climbed a notch, immediately. Silva was the first to recover, his first reaction was a laughter. He started laughing hard, his ominous Nen splattered all over the place!!
Marek narrowed his eyes, but still has a smile on his face. Silva advanced to him a big smile on his face:
"You are one stubborn bastard, aren't you?! You couldn't resist the tentation for 10 Days!"
Marek smirked:
"This Emperor never relents in what he wants. This day was coming sooner or later."
Silva continued to laugh:
"Marek Vega. We at the Zoldyck Family, since centuries, go by one creed."
"Everything goes by a price. Everything can be killed if the price paid is high enough."
Marek narrowed his eyes as he saw that all the Zoldyck Family were approving his words:
"Most times, the prices are so high that it cannot paid with simple money anymore. So I got quite the eye for 'estimating' the price of various things."
He made the first step:
"You took members of my family, and most precisely the two kids I had the highest hope for.
"Taught them assassination arts I never could have"
Second step:
"Made them more powerful than what I could have ever made"
"Blessed them with companions and friendships, that I thought was impossible for people like them."
"And most importantly you got them to treasure their heritage as assassin and members of the Zoldyck Family. Making our Zoldyck Family much better assassins, who will only continue to grow as their Legacy grow thicker."
He finally stopped in front of him, his long silver complimenting the smirk he had:
"As far as I am concerned, each of one of these 'feats' are priceless."
"No matter how many lives I take, it will never be enough. That's why."
He knelled, surprising every member of the Family, except Zeno, who had meaningful smile on:
"The only thing that could be done, the only thing that we could 'pay' you with....
"Is to offer you the thing you've been stubbornly after this whole time.Your Majesty."
"As long as we keep eating flesh, and tainting our daggers with blood, we will serve you as our Emperor."
Marek felt his heart pounding from excitement as he laughed out loud, like the Hegemon he was:
"Good! Goood! Silva! Do not fret! For in the road ahead I only see Blood and Flesh!! You will become Killing Deities, that even the Ancient Gods fear!!"
His gaze turned to Zeno:
"Do you agree with your son, old man Zeno?"
He laughed in his face:
"I would have stayed even if Silva made another choiceAfter all, I, now have too many troublesome disciples to look after!"
His gaze turned to Killua and Kuroto who were already kneeling. He already expected that.
The both consider themselves more members of the Brotherhood than of the Zoldyck Family, after all.
His eyes turned to Illumi, whose head was tilted sideways in wonder:
"Well~ It seems I don't have that much of say here, now, do I~?
Well as long as Killua keep surprising me every time we meet, I wouldn't have much room for complains, will I~?"
Marrek nodded. He then turned his face to lock his eyes with an Old Marine Hero.
"We've had some good times, Garp, The Hero. I have come to like you and respect you in this last decade."
Garp has a solemn gaze.
"When we will face each other, outside of these white chambers. You will me be then met with a choice of your own."
"My reward is giving you the power to at least stand in my way, when the time comes. So, I will be making you a Saiyan too. "
Garp had a sharp gaze:
"Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Marek smirked:
"It's precisely because I don't want any regrets that I made this choice."
