Chapter 153 Woman“s Intuition
"Argh! Where is that damned idiot! We need him here now!" Myth shouted angrily as she massaged her temples.
Her mood today was not certainly great, and the disappearance of Nomad just made matters worse.
"Of all the days that Nomad chooses to slack off, he decides it to be this day! I swear once I get my hands on him…" Myth mumbled to herself as her hands mimed some gripping motion. "Ah f**k!"
Myth pounded the table in front of her angrily as she forced herself to calm down.
Stress is not good for anyone, especially to a woman like Myth.
After all, stress makes your skin look bad, and Myth does not want her skin to look like it was fried in a pan.
Myth loves her skin, and she treats it like it was her baby.
Not that she has a baby of course. Myth was still single, as she was fine with it.
There was almost nobody that Myth deems worthy enough to capture her interest.
Well, except for Tetra.
That guy is hot and yummy! That abs of his were just, mmmm….
In her heart, Myth knew that only Tetra was the one worthy of placing his seed inside her.
It's too bad that Tetra was not interested in her…
But still, that musky scent of his was just so damn good…
"Hey, stop daydreaming about that hunk for now! Bad girl! I still have problems to deal with here!" Myth thought to herself as she shook her head.
She let out a deep breath as she contemplated on changing her body now.
With the stress that she has right now, maybe changing into a mythical creature might alleviate her stress a little.
"…"
Myth browsed through the possible transformations in her mind as she paced irritably her room.
An imaginary book then appeared inside Myth's mind, and inside this book was the record of all the mythical and fictional creatures that Myth can transform to.
Myth started browsing this imaginary book, looking at the detailed info of some of the creatures that she saw.
"BUDAI? He may be the 'Laughing Buddha', but he is bald. Yep, not that one. Ok, what about CLAURICHAUN? Ok… it is the cousin of Leprechaun, and it is always drunk. Well, being drunk can remove my stress, but still… Ok, that one is out too. How about the BUNGISNGIS? It is a laughing one-eyed giant. Ugh, that is so creepy, this one is out too."
Myth then continued browsing for more possible transformations, and in the end, she found the one that she was looking for.
"Ok, I will just transform to a Robot. My stress will surely disappear with that."
Myth was about to activate her power, but before she could do so, someone entered the room, effectively stopping her transformation.
"Hey, there is an emergency that just happened. We need to gather at the meeting room." Foresight, the slender beauty, said these words melodically to the infuriated Myth.
"This b**ch…" Myth tried not to show the displeasure on her face as she stared at Foresight.
Out of all the members of the Pantheon, it was Foresight that Myth hated the most.
Machi? He might be emotionally inept, but at least he knows how to respect Myth.
Plague? Her powers might be creepy, but she is so sweet, that Myth treats her like a little sister.
Nomad? He may be rebellious, but he is loyal to the Pantheon, and he has saved Myth's life several times before.
Tetra? That guy is just yummy, no explanations needed.
Miden? That guy might be a nerd and a little perverted, but he always knew that Myth is someone that must not be trifled with.
But as for Foresight? Everything about her seems off and wrong to Myth.
Just her power to predict the future was already irritating enough to Myth.
Every day, Myth has to suffer seeing the 'I-know-everything' expression on Foresight's face, as if she was the queen of the world already. She will even answer Myth's question before she can ask it! That is so irritating!
Ugh, and that smug smile on her face! It's always pissing Myth of every single time!
But that's not all! Myth also noticed that Foresight seems to be pining for Tetra too!
Myth can see that Foresight sometimes rubs her arms or legs to Tetra, especially when she sits near him!
If that's not an attempt to seduce Tetra, then Myth was not sure what that can be called.
But even if Myth has some ill feelings against Foresight, she cannot voice it out, as everyone in the Pantheon except for her seems to treat Foresight as their friend.
Or in Miden's terms, Foresight is everyone's 'Nakama'.
"Hmph, Nakama my ass." Myth muttered angrily to herself as he knew that there should be something wrong with Foresight.
Even if Foresight appeared kind and gentle, Myth knew with her intuition that Foresight is most likely a b***h who just hides her attitude well.
Don't ask Myth how she knew that.
It's a woman's intuition after all.
(Author's Note: Oh really?)
****************
"What is the meeting all about?" Myth replied as she wore a smile on her face. There is no use for her to display her hostilities to Foresight, as she knew Foresight already knew it. "Is it related to those guys again?"
"Yes it is." Foresight replied with the irritating smug smile back on her face. "Oh, and Nomad is also related there too."
"Nomad?" It took Myth some seconds before she realized that Foresight was talking about.
"Oh, that little f**ker!" Myth was unable to contain her rage right now, as she punched her table.
The table snapped in half as it gave way to Myth's punch.
"Nomad decided to approach Mafioso's Mansion without our permission, and in the process it seems like he had been captured by them." Foresight said before Myth can ask her question.
"…."
"Oh, and Andrew Collins is now under the protection of Eldritch's team." Foresight said with that smile on her face, which in turn, made Myth more enraged.
"F**k!!!" The air around Myth warped slightly, and a second later, her body changed.
"!(*@)!U(*@))(*#"!!" Rumbling sounds came out of Myth's new body, displaying her anger which seems to have reached its peak.
Right now, Myth has adopted the form of a western dragon, complete with its long hind legs, short front limbs and its majestic wings.
Fire was coming out of Myth's nostrils as her eyes stared at Foresight, who seemed nonplussed with Myth's current form.
"!%*@(*#)*(@. @)%_!)($@)\u0026)%@" Myth said as she changed back to her normal form.
She felt her rage subsiding as she went back to her Human form, but even that was still not enough to wipe away her irritation against Foresight.
She gave Foresight a glare, as if she was blaming her for everything that happened.
"If we just attacked Eldritch and his minions with our full force, then our problem should have been solved by now! But no, you told us to not attack them, since you said that something bad will happen if we did that! Your future sight, which was faulty against Duplicator, was telling you that we should not attack them immediately! Of course my teammates will listen to you. You can see the future after all."
Myth then kicked the broken table beside her feet as she jabbed her finger on Foresight's chest.
"Now, look where it landed us! Nomad's f**king captured now because of your 'future sight'! What a way to help us out!"
Foresight only looked back at Myth calmly, as if she was not offended by what she said.
"…."
"…."
Foresight only gave Myth a gentle smile as she left the room.
"Let's go to the meeting room already." Myth heard Foresight saying as she looked back at her. "Everyone's there already, and you are the only one that we are waiting for."
"Well, ain't that great..." Myth mumbled to herself as she kicked the door open, following Foresight with an unwilling expression on her face.
***************
"So, how should we deal with them?" This was the first word uttered in their meeting, and it was Tetra who said these words.
Just like before, Tetra managed to say these words while looking yummy, and Myth could barely stop herself from drooling on the table.
"…" While she was busy on cooling down her rage, Myth took her time to observe everyone inside their meeting room.
They were sitting around a round table which was filled with countless futuristic-looking mechanisms. This part was definitely made by Machi.
All of them were sitting on their own respective chairs, with Myth sitting at the portion nearest to the window.
She looked at her right side as she gave a smile to Plague.
Even if Plague was wearing a dark cloak coupled with a mask with a long, hooked nose(A Plague Doctor Mask), Myth was not creeped out by her appearance.
Plague was a sweet girl, and Myth can't get enough of hugging her.
"Watcha lookin at huh, you old hag?" A raspy voice came out of Plague's costume as she pointed her gloved hand to Myth. "Quit your staring at me, your creepy pervert!"
Ok, Plague still has a lot to learn about being a sweet girl, but Myth knew that in time, Plague will also mellow out to her.
Sitting at Plague's right side was Machi, who was busy fiddling with some kind of mechanism again. He seemed oblivious about the meeting itself, punctuated by his cheerful hums.
"Hey, stop quarreling here, you two!" This time around the one who spoke was Miden, who looked like he was stressed, even though his whole body was covered by a sleek-looking black battle armor suit. "Don't you remember that Nomad had been captured by Eldritch? Besides, I am busy recreating a famous shounen manga battle scene in my head! You two quarreling has disturbed me!"
"Ugh…" And Miden was back at his fanboying streak. Seriously, Miden was already middle-aged, and yet he still caters to a form of entertainment for the minors… That speaks a lot about his maturity and seriousness.
"You tin can!" Plague seems riled by what Miden just said, which was shown by her standing up quickly.
"What is it, old woman?" Miden replied heatedly as his body tensed. "You need a cane or something?"
"Hah?"
"Hah?"
It seems like the two were about to start a quarrel, but before they could do so, someone spoke up just right in front of them.
"Everyone, please calm down." Foresight, the sneaky b**ch said as she gave everyone in the meeting a gentle smile. "If we waste our time here, our friend Nomad could be in danger."
"Hmph, that's what I am worried about here." Miden said as he relaxed his body. "He must be scared and is waiting for our rescue now."
"…That I agree with." Plague replied in a docile tone as she sat back on her chair.
"…." Myth, who saw what had just happened, could barely stop herself from glaring at Foresight.
Really, there is something wrong with this woman.
"…." But the only thing that Myth could do was to secretly clench her fists as she avoided looking at Foresight directly.
A few seconds of silence passed by as everyone around the table started to look alert and prepared.
After seeing this, Myth took it as the cue to start their official meeting.
"Ok, now that we have all settled down here, let us get to the meat of the issue already." Since she was the de facto leader of the Pantheon, it was up to Myth to start the meeting. "We are here to discuss about Eldritch, the Legacy of Tartaros, Andrew Collins, and the capture of Nomad. Whether we like it or not, all of these four issues are linked together now. The only thing that we can talk about is how we should deal with them."
Myth then gave Foresight a narrowed look as she continued talking.
"Oh, and maybe we should take what Foresight will say with a grain of salt… Who knows, her future sight could have been severely affected by Duplicator, and she just didn't realize it…"
"That's nice warning, but I think I can still manage well." Foresight replied, with the same irritating smile on her face. "So you should not worry about my advices, as I am sure that they will still help us out here. Or do you prefer to face them head-on without my advice? You are free to do that, Leader."
"…"
