Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 279 278- Waking Up

"..."

Zach opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling with a confused look on his face.

"Yet one more time, I woke up under an unknown ceiling…" he muttered.

He wished he was saying that to simply sound cool, but he truly didn't recognize the ceiling.

He slowly sat up and grabbed his head as he felt sudden stings in his brain.

"Argh…" he grunted softly and glanced around.

He then noticed he was naked from the top.

"...."

He immediately got off the bed and rushed outside the room, only to realize that he was in the chamber of the church.

"Why am I here? I was sleeping in the inn, and…" Zach suddenly felt dizzy, so he sat on the row and leaned back to relax himself.

'Why is my head aching so much? I mean… it has been aching quite often nowadays.'

After a few seconds, he uttered, "I think my headaches started when I entered the sea realm. I don't know if that's related to my powers or something, but it's a tad bit annoying now because they prevent me from thinking."

Zach relaxed for a few seconds and glanced around the church with an amused look on his face.

"So this is where Ninia lives? I have been here before, but this place looks different now. Maybe because the last time I came here was nighttime and this is morning."

Zach noticed that there was no sunlight coming from the windows. He instantly opened his menu to look at the time, and he finally realized it was evening.

"So I slept for almost 20 hours straight?" he asked himself. But then, his gaze fell on the date and his eyes widened in surprise.

"I have been asleep for nearly three days?!" he exclaimed with a baffled look on his face. "But why? Did something happen to me?! No wonder they brought me here. They must have been freaked out; I am freaked out!"

Zach touched his body and inspected himself to see if he was attacked by someone when he was sleeping, so Aria and Victoria brought him to the church.

"There is nothing wrong with my body and my health is full. My MP also cultivated a lot since I have been asleep for nearly three days. But what happened?"

Zach walked and searched around the entire church to look for Aria, Victoria, or Ninia, but it was empty.

"Where did they go? Surely, they wouldn't actually leave me alone in the open church when I was in a vulnerable state, right?"

Zach struggled to remember what had happened. He also didn't remember the memory he saw in the dream, that was worse than a nightmare.

However, even though he didn't remember, his heart still ached, and his soul remembered the sadness and agony he felt when he witnessed the death of three of the most important people in his life.

"What is this tight feeling in my chest?" Zach placed his hand on his chest and clenched it as he tried to understand what was going on.

He started feeling dizzy, so he decided to take a seat, but he was too far away from the rows as he was strolling around to look for the girls. So he had no other choice but to lay down on the ground.

He spread his limbs and stretched them while laying on the ground.

YAWN~

He yawned loudly and closed his eyes, hoping to find peace and comfort from the unknown feeling he was having. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, everything once again flashed before his eyes.

He opened his eyelids, revealing his teary eyes and the painful expression on his face. He controlled and tried his best to endure his tears from falling, but to do that, he clenched his fists so hard that his nails pierced his palm, and they started bleeding. He bit his lips so hard and his mouth was filled with blood.

"Why did you show me that, father?" he asked, even though he knew he would never get an answer.

'Everything was going so well. Everyone was happy, and father was trying to rebel against the gods with Xie Lua and Lyda, but the sun god— Icarus, suddenly attacked us.'

'There was no chance for a father to win in the first place since he wasn't at his full strength. He was also tried from the war he fought that day, and he had just returned home when all that happened.'

'Who betrayed me?!' Zach recalled Deus' words.

"Father had very trustworthy friends. I didn't know all of them, but the ones I knew were nice people. But… one among his friends snitched on father and gave all the information to the sun god."

After a brief silence, Zach frowned his face and raised his bloodstained hand in the air. He opened his fist and reached his hand to the ceiling as though he was trying to grab onto something, but he was simply showing his commitment.

"I will find that traitor, and kill him or her!"

Zach was mentally too exhausted to do anything, so he simply closed his eyes to save energy, but he fell asleep soon after.

A few hours later, Ninia, Aria, and Victoria returned home after spending the entire day talking to various NPC and convincing them to join Zach's religion. They didn't care about themselves and barely ate or drank anything in the past three days.

But when they returned and saw Zach lying on the ground with his hands and mouth covered with blood, they were bewildered.

At first, they thought some wild animal had attacked Zach, but upon inspecting further, Aria and Victoria came to the conclusion that Zach had done that to himself.

They carried him back to the chamber, and Ninia healed him. Actually, Aria wanted to heal him as she was also a healer, but Ninia took that opportunity from her.

A few hours later, when Zach opened his eyes again, he found himself on the bed of the same chamber, and Ninia was sleeping by his side.
