Chapter 19: The Unlucky Chicken
What happens when two arrogant beings like the system and Ziz get into an argument? That’s right, neither of them is willing to listen to the other.
"You’ve got the nerve to blame me? Why didn’t you tell me my power would be bound by this damn rule?"
The system’s attitude made Ziz want to explode. Didn’t the system promise him everything would be amazing when it lured him to Earth? How dare it blame him now?
[You’re lying! The system’s rules are absolutely flawless. The only damn thing here is you, you useless fat chicken.]
Naturally, there was no way Ziz could accept the system’s ridiculous logic. His feathers puffed up, and his eyes burned with rage.
"You never even mentioned the rules back then."
That sly system only talked about all the wonderful possibilities and never said a single word about the rules. Otherwise, Ziz would never have agreed to come to Earth and become a bodyguard for a mortal.
[Hmph, besides looking like a chicken, is your intelligence also on the level of a chicken? You didn’t ask, so why would I tell you?]
Ziz was so furious that weak sparks of lightning spread everywhere. He was the mighty ruler of the skies, yet he was being compared to a chicken. How could he possibly accept that?
"System! Just you wait until I get my power back. When I do, I’ll definitely kill you!"
Unfortunately, Ziz didn’t have even the slightest bit of presence right now. If he still had his power, maybe the system would have been at least a little wary of him.
[Hmph, shut up already, you fat chicken. Nexus is just a lousy master, the weakest human of them all. As long as he gets into danger, or his disciple gets into danger, you’ll be able to regain your power to protect them.]
According to the system’s logic, both Nexus and his future disciple were nothing but weaklings anyway. So Ziz would have plenty of chances to show off his power, which was why the system didn’t think its rules were all that bad.
"Protect?"
Ziz’s finger trembled with anger as he pointed at Nexus. He wished he could swallow the system, Nexus, and this damned planet in a single bite.
[Then what else were you planning to do? You’re his bodyguard now.]
The system spoke as if it were stating an obvious fact. Even though there was nothing wrong with it, Ziz still couldn’t accept it.
"You actually expect the great ruler of the skies to protect a few mortals? Lowly mortals should do nothing but worship and serve me like a god. There’s no way a great existence like me would lower myself to become a bodyguard for this trash."
Even though he didn’t point at anyone by name, the veins on Bell’s forehead bulged. These two bastards had only exchanged a few words before they started looking down on humanity. Wasn’t that the same as looking down on him?
"You stupid fat chicken, do you believe I’ll sew that mouth of yours shut? Are you a septic tank or something? Every word out of your mouth stinks."
While arguing with the system, Ziz was interrupted by Bell, making his anger flare up even more. Ziz wanted to tear Bell apart on the spot, but his current joke of a power level left him with nowhere to vent his rage.
"Shut your mouth, mortal. A lowly creature like you has no place speaking here. Trash like you should be grateful I’ve temporarily lost my power. Otherwise, I guarantee I’d crush both your body and your spiritual soul."
Ziz arrogantly ordered Bell around, making Bell lose his temper. Without another word, Bell walked over and grabbed Ziz.
Before Ziz could even react, Bell had already carried him over to a toilet. The toilet was spotless white, but beneath it was a septic tank full of shit waiting for him.
"W-Wait! Mortal, what do you think you’re doing?"
Even though Ziz had never used a toilet before, his intelligence was more than enough for him to know exactly what it was. His face instantly twisted as if he’d just swallowed a fly.
"What am I doing? Obviously I’m taking you to eat shit. Your stinking mouth and a septic tank are clearly a match made in heaven."
"You!"
Before Ziz could even curse, Bell threw him straight into the toilet and flushed it. But Ziz was too fat to fit through, which annoyed Bell a little.
An ordinary toilet plunger now looked like a radiant treasure in Bell’s eyes. A shameless grin spread across his face, making Ziz shudder.
"Stop..."
Ziz’s muffled voice was cut off as Bell repeatedly shoved the plunger down, forcing Ziz straight into the septic tank.
Seeing Ziz disappear, the smile on Bell’s face grew even brighter. This overwhelming feeling of satisfaction was far better than any fun he’d ever had before.
"Hahaha, this is exactly what a bastard like you deserves."
[Well done, kid. This great system gives you a bit of praise. That stupid fat chicken really needed to be taught a lesson. Does he really think he’s the ruler of the skies? That’s just a stupid self-proclaimed title of his.]
The excitement Bell had just felt vanished by half within seconds. Why did this damn system always act like it was the center of everything?
"Hmph, stop being so full of yourself. If you had a physical body, you’d be down there with that stupid chicken right now."
[Haha, your helplessness is truly laughable. How could the system possibly be as pathetic as that useless fat chicken?]
After being humiliated several times, the system had successfully upgraded its shamelessness. Now it was much harder for Bell to get under its skin.
"Hey, my bodyguard is down there now. What are we supposed to do? Just leave him there?"
Only now did Nexus finally speak up. He didn’t really mind having a stinky fat chicken by his side, but if Ziz kept reeking, it would definitely annoy his future disciple.
[Don’t worry. This great system has a way to make him clean and good as new. Of course, he needs to be taught a lesson first.]
