Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife

Chapter 275  A change in the games.

"The actions of reaper Scarlet, also known as the hound are not in violation of the rules of the duo leaderboard games." After those words were said, everything unfroze, and the competition resumed. It would have resumed much quicker if everyone was not suddenly caught up in the repercussions of this sudden announcement. Did it mean that anybody who desired could eliminate the competition by pulling, pushing or kicking them down just as she had done?

In these games, everyone apart from your teammate was an enemy but often reapers were aligned as warriors or guardians. In the beginning, warrior reapers and guardian reapers had been having fun taunting each other. There a common union as the enemy was either a warrior or a guardian. But now , everything had changed, so what if you were a warrior or guardian like me, in the end you were competition. [Wait a minute, I don't understand this, do you mean that we can eliminate each other?]

[So on top of worrying about other obstacles we have to worry about our fellow reapers!! This is not fair.]

[That damn hound, someone eliminate her already.]

[Since it is not illegal to pull others down I am sending out a warning. Marcus you arrogant grim reaper, if I don't eliminate you in this competition then my name is not June.] [So what happens to all the alliances which had been formed among reapers?] "Further announcement," the voice from before said again after the ringing of the bell, "Water from the springs of the deities is up for grabs. Third place gets two, second place gets three and first place gets five, of his or her own choosing." [The spring water which was infused with the power of a deity and give you the ability to level up instantly on top of strengthening your soul and multiplying your power!!, did I hear correctly?] [And don't forget that the deities are different so you could get new abilities from using their spring water.] [This is not fair to those of us who have been eliminated, please restart the competition.]

Someone that having more fun at the new twist of things in the games was the old deity. He and Lythia were watching them from her other palace, the one beyond the gates where other deities could meet on neutral ground in the underworld realm. No grim reaper had ever reached this area, only the gate keepers. There were two other deities here to watch the games, the deity of fire and the deity of fear. "Should I congratulate you on making the games interesting this year?" the deity of fear asked. "For once, it's not as stale as always." "I like the new girl, she is feisty." the deity of fire said. "She has fire, a spark, she would_"

"You cannot have her." the old deity cut off his brother, fire and refused. Lythia waved her hands and large platters filled with spiritual fruits and wines appeared. A rare addition to this was human food in the form of cookies and sandwiches. "See, this is why I like you shadow, you always know just what I like. You even added human food this year, how novel of you." a new deity made an appearance. He had white hair light gold at the tips and he wore a long white robe. His face was young and seductively charming. When one looked on him they would easily think him to be the deity of light, divinity or creation. The old deity scoffed and said, "You know, as the deity of trickery, lies, treachery and deception, believing a single thing you say would be crazy of us, and the gods must never be crazy." The new deity's outfit changed to black and his hair turned blue, gone was the divine aura. He took a seat and said, "You have learned a thing or two from me death, don't pretend to be better than I am."

Meanwhile in the competitions, as many complained, cried or jubilated, Frost and Severus hopped around in circles. "I told you, I told you, what did I say?" Severus said excitedly. "That she is filled with luck." Frost said loudly.

"Yes, haha, we are aiming for number one Frost, if you let me down I will bite your ass." Severus added, he was threatening Frost quite seriously but with a smile on his face which had all his sharp teeth out. Frost stopped jumping around and said, 'That's just creepy." Suddenly a new announcement was made on the forum, someone had made it past the second crossing point.

"What the f!" someone said. "Who is that individual, why is it that we can't see who it is?" Past the first barrier point, the identities and faces of the competitors were not revealed, all one would see is their figure. Any identifying markers on their robes or shoes, and weapons' or equipment would also be removed on the forum. Scarlet increased her pace, and she started leaping. With much focus, she kept her eyes forward, seeing nothing but the path of her soul binding rope. With the bead of infinite protection that she was gifted by the gate keepers, nobody would push her off the wall and if they tried, they could end up going down themselves. It took her a while to get into the rhythm and she almost slipped twice, but she made it past the first crossing point. She did not even realize that this was the first crossing point until she saw the mist cleared, and she saw the trees and spirit monkeys tossing fruit. "Monkeys." she said. In Lythia's second place, the deity of lies paid attention to the competitors his brothers and sister watched the most, one of them was Scarlet. "Is that the girl you tricked into joining your world," "Mmm-hmm." the old deity nodded proudly. "I wonder if I can trick her into joining another realm, just for fun. It might be better entertainment than having your reapers climb the mountain of a thousand demon bones." the deity of lies chuckled. "You know," the old deity said softly, "If everyone is dead, there is no one to deceive." "You always resort to that." the deity of lies mumbled. But, his eyes still held a wicked glint as he looked at Scarlet. Lythia looked at the old deity and she sighed, this would probably not be the end of it. That bastard would try something for sure because he was not the type to give up just because he was threatened. He was the type to spread lies, give rise to false prophets and spread anarchy as long as it pleased him. He never worked alone either, he always moved with the deity of chaos and together, they destroyed many worlds. In the games meanwhile, Scarlet waved her white flag and disappeared from the wall, and when she she appeared next to Frost, she told him what to expect.

When he said that the monkeys threw rotten fruit at you, he did not mention the fact that the fruit felt like a ten thousand kilogram rock when it hit the body at full speed like a missile. It was painful and if it hit the right spot, one would let go easily and fall off the wall. She had one red mark on her cheek where a peach hit her and almost took her tooth out. "The monkeys are my territory, I got this." Frost disappeared with a confident smile on his face.
