Ball of Nothing

The three ladies stood at the top of the steps silently, watching Zero as he cried. At first, Zero didn't know that there were guests but as they approached him, the brunet's sobs decreased. For some reason, those three ladies felt very familiar but Zero knew he hadn't met them before.

"Greetings Zero, we have been expecting you," the lady in white greeted.

Zero stopped crying at once. Mii displayed the lady's name and status, deeming her to be a threat but Zero told Mii to calm down. He knew this lady as well as her sisters.

"I'm sorry, I know we haven't met but I think I know you. I just can't remember your name."

The lady in white smiled. "It's alright, Zero. We've waited for a long time to reunite with you. I'm Murvin, the Divine Entity of Kindness. This is my sister, Law, the Divine Entity of Acceptance in yellow and Isaben, the Divine Entity of Trust, in lilac. We came to pass the word that Nel, the Divine Entity of Hope, is waiting for your return. After you reach Earth, please look for her. She is safekeeping something of importance on behalf of Great One for you."

The brunet blinked. From the vague memory fragments, he remembered who they were. These three ladies were actually divine entities his past self created. They were the three flower sisters who resided silently on a cliff in heaven while the others disappeared. Nel was the last divine entity he'd created and Mii took initiative to make a note about finding her. It was called a quest according to the system.

The Great Gods cancelled the summoning spell to witness the three divine entities interact with Zero. Even though they lived for a long time, they had never seen a divine entity before. Occasionally, some news about divine entities like Gugu and Venn will surface but they never had the chance to meet a divine entity personally. In fact, nothing was known about them except how they were once part of the Great One. While Great Gods were greatly feared and respected because they were personally created by the Great One, they weren't more powerful than divine entities who were a fraction of the Great One.

When divine entities fought, it was nothing like a war between gods and humans. Universes can collapse, worlds can be eradicated and armies can be created with a blink from any divine entity. However, as all divine entities were created from a part of Great One, there was no entity that was superior. Instead of fighting against each other with strength, some opted to fight using their wits in a complicated game of chess using the most unpredictable species called humans.

In the process, the first Earth was destroyed but the newbie god that humans created triggered Zero's awakening and created a replica of the destroyed planet. Gods, monsters, demons alike tried to prevent the divine entities from corrupting this new world. Magic was introduced along with faith. The fight over faith and territory among the races made the Great Gods forget about divine entities for a long while until the three sisters appeared.

Looking at the three ladies, none of the Gods moved. Although they didn't think that the three sisters would harm Zero, they didn't exactly trust them.

On the other hand, Zero welcomed the sisters as they embraced him and took turns to kiss him on his cheeks before vanishing into thin air.

The moment they did, a tri-coloured petal symbol glowed on where the sisters kissed before fading away. However, nobody noticed this as they were too focused on looking at the portal to Earth that appeared right before their eyes. It would take a considerable amount of strength for even the Great Gods to open that portal but the divine entities were able to do it in an instant. Nobody knew where they disappeared to but Zero had an inkling they were never coming back.

Mii told Zero that he had recovered the artefact of [Kindness], [Accepance] and [Trust] but their abilities were locked until Mii upgrades. Now that the portal was open with no sign of closing, the Great Gods gave in to their feelings and crowded around Zero in their more human-like forms.

Zero allowed them to crush him in a huge group hug.

"Thank you for taking care of me and teaching me many things. I'm so happy to have met all of you. I'll take good care of the things you've given me."

While the gods were holding back tears, the goddesses let theirs run free. "Remember to call us ok? Also, please keep close to Truen. Visit us whenever you can!"

Zero blinked. "I can visit?"

En chuckled at the priceless expressions. They had a long way to go, both the Great Gods and Zero.
