Ball of Nothing Chapter 47 White House 1

Chapter 47 White House 1

Pegasus was the name of the horse pulling the carriage that Sedna ushered Zero into. The trip was going to take about three hours and there would be no bathroom breaks in between.

Zero asked why anyone would need a bathroom break and the G.o.ddesses paused before remembering that Zero's body didn't quite function the same way like an ordinary human.

Without further ado, they set off with Freya steering the carriage's direction. Zero was amazed that Freya would step up to take control of the reins instead of handing them to a coachman. Gaia explained that although Freya loved shopping and cakes, she was still a G.o.ddess of war. The thrill of riding and fighting was in her existence.

While the G.o.ddesses chatted and occasionally zoned out, Zero was learning from En and Truen about human etiquette in preparation for his travels. Zero was also finally able to play around with his inventory function and learnt a lot more about the system by chatting with Mii.

The time pa.s.sed quickly and before they knew it, Freya announced that they were approaching the House of Great G.o.ds. Zero's eyes widened when he saw that they were way above the clouds and the thick fluffy white clouds below swirled endlessly.

"Welcome to the Realm of G.o.ds - Heaven. We are heading straight to the House of Great G.o.ds to meet up with my father and uncle. I'm sure Buddha will be there too since he was invited."

Zero smiled at En and asked many questions about the strange beings with white wings. En took his time to answer all of Zero's questions and Truen sat there in silence, simply overwhelmed with new information. He'd never been to heaven and the bodyguard briefly wondered if he would end up here if he repaid his sins.

Zero got off the carriage and bade Pegasus goodbye. The horse nuzzled his face gently before flying away. Freya dusted the imaginary dust from her dress and held out her hand to Zero. "Are you ready?"

Zero was excited but nervous at the same time. Nevertheless, he held onto Freya's outstretched hand and tottered along the long flight of stairs.

The House of G.o.d was not a house despite its name. It was actually a huge open temple with rows of white pillars holding up a huge white roof. Zero decided to call it the White House since the whole building was white. It had no doors or windows, only rows of pillars along the side of the long temple. They slowly walked up the long flight of stairs that never seemed to end but surprisingly, n.o.body complained about it. Zero wondered if there was a reason why they were walking up the stairs one by one. He knew that it would be a lot faster by teleporting or flying but none of the G.o.ddesses attempted to do so.

In fact, the expressions of the G.o.ddesses were so serious that Zero felt it was inappropriate to ask any questions. Silently he followed, holding tightly onto Freya's hands so that he wouldn't trip on a step.

As they walked nearer to the White House, he could see Zeus looking at something that was floating in the air over a white stone table. As they got closer, Zero could see that those floating orbs were actually moving and there was more than one orb.

By now, there were only a few hundred more steps before the reached the White House and Zero felt Freya's grip on his hand tighten. He didn't know why but all the G.o.ddesses, even En, had some sadness in their eyes. Sedna looked the saddest and even if Zero didn't know the reason behind their sorrow, he felt the same too.
