Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 287 286- Empty Streets | Surprise Attack

After Aria and Victoria came back from the kitchen, they saw Ninia getting touchy with Zach, so they tried to separate her from him.

"Hey! That's my seat! Get off!" Aria yelled at Ninia.

"Your name is not written here, so anyone can sit whenever they want," Ninia commented.

"..." Aria pondered for a while to retort Ninia's comment. "So what? That doesn't change anything. As his wife, I belong to sit beside Zach."

"But you left your seat, so you lose your chance too," Ninia remarked.

"You…!" Aria glared at Ninia and gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say anything to retort Ninia.

She turned to Victoria, hoping she would help her get her seat back, but Victoria couldn't care enough as she didn't lose her seat.

"..."

SIGH!

Aria had no chance but to look at Zach with puppy eyes.

"Well… let her sit for tonight. We are leaving once I finish eating anyway," Zach uttered awkwardly, making Aria more frustrated.

Aria reluctantly sat beside Victoria, where Ninia sat before. She glared at Ninia, only to see her smirking at her from the corner of her lips.

'This nun…! I don't like her. If Zach's religion becomes big, she will become big too. But Zach needs to grow her religion to increase his soul powers, so I have no choice but to accept her.'

Aria and Victoria had left the dish on the stove and instructed the chefs on how to handle it.

"We still haven't found the person who cursed you. But now that you are awake, should we still look for them?" Victoria asked Zach with a curious look on her face.

"Oh, there is no need for that. I know who marked me," Zach responded.

"Who?!" Aria, Victoria, and Ninia asked in unison with the same curious expressions on their faces.

"It was my father. He wanted me to see a memory of the day of the third impact."

"Oh…"

"But why did it activate so randomly?" Aria wondered. "Something must have triggered it."

"I think I know that too.."

"What?!" the girls asked with the same expression on their faces.

"It was time-triggered," Zach responded.

"So.. what was that memory? If you don't mind me asking…" Aria asked.

"So…"

Zach told them everything until the food arrived, but the three girls were too sad and sentimental to eat even though they wanted to taste the dish they made.

Victoria and Aria were curious about the taste and to check how it differed from the real world, while for Ninia, it was her first time seeing that dish.

"Why are you girls crying? Eat some food and relax."

After eating the dish, Zach got up and walked to the counter, and the girls followed him.

There were still a few players in the restaurant eating and talking about their day and life in the game.

"How much for tonight?" Zach asked the owner.

Normally, they would bring the bill to the table, but ever since Zach became their God, they were too afraid to do so.

"There is no need to pay. It's on the house…" the owner replied awkwardly.

"Just tell the amount, please."

"There is no need—"

"If you don't tell, I will stop coming here and go to the other restaurant," Zach threatened, although he only did that so the owner could charge him.

Zach didn't want their business to suffer because of him.

"6969 coins…" the owner responded.

"You better not be adding discounts that can damage your economy, right?"

"No, I am not. I don't want you to stop coming here, so I would never do something you don't want."

Zach opened his menu and sent 7000 coins.

"My Lord… you sent more…" the owner uttered with a confused look on his face.

Since Zach paid through the menu, he could send any amount he wanted, but he sent more.

"You can keep the change." After saying that, Zach left with his girls.

On their way, Aria hugged Zach's arm and asked, "Why are we going back to the church?"

"Hmm?"

"You have recovered now, so we can stay at the inn now," she said.

"Right…" Zach glanced at Ninia, who clearly looked upset about that. "Well… we can stay at the church too, right? It will save us money, and it's closer to the portal too. I also have something to take care of tomorrow morning, so…"

Zach turned to Ninia and asked, "Is there any problem if we stay in the church?"

"No! You are very welcome there!" Ninia replied in a cheerful voice with a wide smile on her face.

Zach glanced at Aria and Victoria and saw them staring at him in disbelief.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Exhausted, they began walking towards the church.

'We didn't see anyone on the streets…' Zach uttered inwardly. 'Well, it's past 2 AM, so no wonder the streets are empty.'

'Still, the empty streets at night without much light other than the moonlight is scary. Come to think of it, I have never been out this late at night.'

Zach looked up at the sky and the moon, which immediately reminded him of Aurora.

'She would have loved to see the stars…'

After walking for a few minutes, they finally reached the church.

Ninia had left the door open, so anyone could come and wait to get healed.

'I wonder if the players still come to the church to get healed at night,' Zach thought. 'But then again, most players are sleeping at this time, so I don't think so. But maybe the players who were in the dungeon or the tower?'

YAWN~

Aria yawned out loud and covered her mouth with her hands, but it was too late.

YAWN~

Ninia and Victoria also yawned after seeing Aria yawn. Zach, however, woke up a few hours ago after a three-day-long slumber, so he wasn't sleepy at all.

Ninia smiled at Zach and said, "I will rest for a while."

"Don't worry, take a long—!"

Zach immediately equipped a sword and cut the fire -arrow launched at Ninia. He glared in the dark corner of the church and yelled furiously:

"Come out, and I will give you a painless death!"
