The Villainess and I, her Zombie

Chapter 295: The Eternal (end)

/Unable to leave the area

*WHAM*

/Unable to leave the area

"..."

After some more time has passed, Patience could no longer be called a being light.

"...(...it really is a lot less satisfying after knowing what happened to you...) ...(...not that I will stop, though...)

Eternal shrugged its shoulders and sighed at the fallen overseer.

There was no longer a shiny spot on their previously blinding body, making them look like some sort of dirty mannequin.

"...my creator... won't... let you... get away with... this...!"

Patience raised their trembling head and mumbled.

"...(...your father will do shit...) ...(...who are you trying to fool...?)"

Eternal scoffed mockingly and poked its own head with his red and black finger.

"...(...I have your memories...) ...(...I know that this piece of shit made up this world for fun...) ...(...that they wanted to show it off, but also wanted to control it however they liked...) ...(...so they created you as an overseer, they turned you into a parasite and made the Sloth's be your host...) ...(...and it that fucked up the entire story that they wanted to work out so badly...) ...(...they wanted to erase the whole world, but it would bring down their status amongst the other gods...) ...(...you truly are a pitiful existence...)"

Eternal began explaining while slowly walking towards the slumped Patience.

"..."

"...(...why were you listening to them...?) ...(...why were you trying to complete that idiotic story so badly...?) ...(...all the adjustment to the story...) ...(...all the ridiculous quests that didn't make any sense...) ...(...even the whole system reset that changed the setting of the world...) ...(...it was all your attempts to salvage whatever was left from the original story...) ...(...because of you the events triggered even when there was no reason for them do so...) ...(...only to get the recognition from someone that was just a fucking overpowered bum...) ...(...you're such a pitiful fool...)"

Eternal sighed before...

*WHAM*

/Unable to leave the area

*WHAM*

/Unable to leave the area

*WHAM*

/Unable to leave the area

"URGH!"

Another three strikes fell onto Patience's beaten-up body, making them fell limply onto the floor.

"...(...say...) ...(...how does it feel knowing that not only your creation was a story-breaking mistake, but also your first decision to tinker with the free will and the system itself has brought you to this conclusion...?)"

Eternal crouched by and asked, reaching its hand forward.

Then it grabbed Patience's head and raised them up to their face level.

"...(...if only you didn't insist on continuing the story how your father wanted it to be, you wouldn't have offered my Cranberry the Master of the Eternal Servant magic disguised as some original magic...) ...(...despite what your father has told you, you weren't born a failure, but at the moment that you chose to listen to him, you became one...)"

"...site..."

Patience whispered.

"...(...hmmm...?) ...(...you have to speak louder, you self-made failure...)"

"...you seem to not realize that it wasn't the system that made me a parasite, but my creator himself... you cannot block that ability..."

"...(...)"

*CRUSH*

Patience's mocking voice grew louder, causing the Eternal to crush their head like a ripe watermelon without a single word - causing it to explode into a fountain of sparkling particles...

"...(...oh-ho...)"

Of which each and every single one darted straight into the Eternal's smoke body and instead of passing right through it like all attacks up until that point did, they all stayed inside.

The red and black smoke and the sparkling particles began to mix regardless of Eternal's will.

"It's over for you! The little power you had over the system has no...! Ah...!"

The triumphant voice of Patience turned sour the moment he gained access to Eternal's thoughts...

"...(...you're right, that little power I had has no point if I can't actually cause the hard reset of the system...) ...(...thank you for giving me access to the power given to you straight by your dearest father...)"

Eternal didn't flinch, it didn't writhe in anguish - the angered Patience didn't outsmart it at all, and medley fell right into Eternal's scheme.

Though... could it be called a scheme when it was in fact more of a favor to the tormented overseer...?

"...(...you're just like my Cranberry...) ...(...so smart, yet once you are reminded about your parent, you completely lose your head...)"

The red and black monster scoffed as its body was slowly merging with the shining light.

"YOU DAMNED MONSTER! DON'T YOU DARE RESTART IT! THIS IS THE PLAYTHROUGH STARTED BY MY CREATOR! A FILTH LIKE YOU HAS NO RIGHT TO OVERWRITE ANYTHING!"

Patience roared but had not enough control over the Eternal's body yet to do anything...

...or did they...?

"IF YOU DARE TO START A NEW GAME I WILL MAKE SURE TO ERASE THAT WOMAN'S FILES BEFORE IT STARTS SO THAT YOU WILL NEVER MEET HER AGAIN!"

Patience struggled to speed up the process of taking over but Eternal's mind was too strong to give up so easily.

"...(...no, you won't do shit...) ...(...stop being so hysterical about it...) ...(...we are connected, you know my thoughts and I know yours...)"

"!!!!"

Eternal spoke with a satisfied laugh, making their merged body flinch.

"...(...it's too late already...)"

/Are you sure you want to start a new game?

Your current save file will be erased/

/ Yes/No

"...(... system, yes...)"

"NO!"

Patience wanted to refuse but wasn't fast enough...

/Warning

/The file has been corrupted, starting a new game on this save slot may cause unforeseen problems in your playthrough...

Do you still wish to proceed?

/ Yes/No

Another message popped up for the two consciousnesses in a single body.

"NO! NO! NO! NO! MY CREATOR WOULDN'T WANT THIS! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!"

Patience roared desperately trying to refuse before it even properly showed up just to be first this time... but conveniently forgot to use a proper method of confirmation...

So it should be obvious that their voice was ignored.

"...(...system, yes...)"

Eternal nodded just before the red and black smoke perfectly combined with the light.

/Confirmation received

/Beginning the new game

A message popped up and the whole world disappeared.

...

...

...ah... finally... I can make everything right...

See, was it that hard...? Drama queen...
