Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Witch of Hope and the Witch of the Stars
Cynthia mused over Zeeta's words, which had been determined to bear her responsibility. “Daughter Zeeta,” she said, “before my time runs out, please tell me, where did all the information about you come from that should open the Jormungand portal with his Soul Stone?”
Zeeta smile. He was about to answer her by slowly raising his hand to hold her moon earrings. But when he almost touched her....
“On that, it's clear, Mermaid.” A girl's voice rang out from behind Zeeta.
“Who is it?!” Cynthia panic.
“This voice...?” Zeeta is implying, “it looks like I've heard this sound...” Zeetapun looked behind him.
“Hai, greetings. This is the first time we met in person yes, Zeeta.” The girl had long black hair. He walked with a servant.
Seeing the servant with him, he immediately recalled the testimony Azure had told him. Zeeta immediately understands the identity of the girl. “So you are ... Hitomi Reiko, the third Yggdrasil Seed..”.
Hitomi smiles. He then gave a relaxed applause. “Absolutely. I so bothered to go down directly like this because the stars have shown me about your sudden decision.”
“What do you want here..?” Zeeta is starting to be vigilant. Luna also turned her back to her body.
“Cause. Just talk to you. But, before that..” Hitomi glanced at Cynthia. “A snag should be removed first.”
Zeeta frowned, even with Cynthia.
‘CLICK!’
Hitomi flicked her fingers. The two girls who were in the same place saw the fall of light straight from the sky. The light looked thin, but when it hit something, whether it was land or other objects, the afternoon sky suddenly turned dark for a few seconds.
“What did you—“ when Cynthia asked, the fog disappeared, she was also drawn out of there.
Currently, there were only Zeeta and Hitomi standing face to face with each of his Yggdrasil Spirits. An uncomfortable feeling started to attack the silver-haired girl.
“Now, Zeeta, I want you to negotiate with me,” Hitomi said.
“What do you want?”
“My name is the Star Witch, while your nickname is the Witch of Hope. What I just did was proof that I was being serious.
“One of the powers that the ocean has and is helping the Mermaid Princess earlier, I've obliterated it with star power.”
Zeeta. “Le-withered?! What do you mean?!”
“Kautahu, the ocean is vast, even wider than this land, ‘kan? Therefore, the ability of the sea must be stronger than the land.
“I mean, if this land has many living beings as well as magic creatures, what would your shadow look like if it was in the ocean? Of course there are more. And the leader of all the seas was the Mermaid Princess and the Ancient Spirit who had not manifested herself again for thousands of years, the Undine.
“This is just the first step before Ragnarok happens. You don't want Ragnarok to get worse because of ocean involvement, do you?
“Ragnarok is already quite severe with the world being threatened by a magic war between the great races of the world, namely the Dragon, Giant, and Man. When added to the ocean, where maybe you can stop Ragnarok alone.”
“Zeeta!” exclaim Luna, “do not listen to anything he says! Stay straight on—“
“Xenna, silence him.”
“Good, Miss.” Xennaville immediately appeared before Luna, then kicked her with a ninety-degree rotating kick with her left foot. As a result, Luna crashed far back and penetrated several trees and immediately panicked the entire village.
“LUNA!” zeeta Jerrit.
Hitomi then appears in front of Zeeta, then holds her right shoulder. With a serious face, he said again. “Currently you can't clean. In this situation, only you can face me.”
At the same time, Arthur and Hellenia exit the store, and find Zeeta alone in front of two strangers.
“ZEETA!” the screams of the two adults, who immediately ran up to him.
“How ... Zeeta?” ask Hitomi.
With festering eyes for a moment, Zeeta finally closed it. “I'll listen to you first.”
Hitomi smiles. “Swise decision.” She then disappears with Zeeta after flicking her fingers again.
“ZEETAAA!” arthur screams, who jumps to catch Zeeta, but is late and ends up only making his chin hurt by being dragged to the ground. “Sial! What else does my daughter face?!” angered Arthur who then hit the ground hard with both hands.
......................
Hitomi and takes her guests to a similar dimension when Hitomi brings the Dark Lord a.k.a Zeeta Otherworldly.
“What is this place..?” ask Zeeta.
“Only a dimension that allows me to talk to stars.”
“Talk...?”
“Yes. Reading fate, luck, misfortune, etc. In other words, horoscope.”
“What .... being a Star Witch also has Spirit?”
Hitomi. “Excuse me? Did you forget my purpose in bringing you here?”
“Well, I mean, you can kill me now, or even just now, if you want.”
Hitomi cringing. “You ... have me?”
“No no. Like you said, I can't clean up now. But, I don't think you're going to be that crazy to do it. Because after all, your goal of collecting Soul Stones is to change this world.
“The ideal world for you, is to repeat all human order from the beginning, by destroying all Humans with the opening of Jotunnheim. The only way that the world is present to you is for me to be in it.”
“If you have understood it, then my explanation will be shorter.”
Zeeta took a good look at what Hitomi was trying to negotiate.
Zeeta has no idea what that means.
“Before I came to you, I had a chance to clash with the other you. He managed to make me obey him with a rune that I did not understand at all. He also even managed to get Xenna and Lord Carlou—Dragon Sepuh in my empire to kowtow in front of him.
“He wants me and my brother to kill you—“
“That's what I already know! He attacks Aurora with an army of Hollows, bringing a person from the distant past named Keenai to allow him to collect and create Hollows!
“I want to know, what does it mean that you can save my friend?! Who is he?!”
Hitomi cringing. “Gerda. Gerda Bloomy.”
The heart seems to jump, Zeeta does not believe it. “A.... what does that mean...? What happened to him?!”
“You.. I mean, the other you, has burned his charred body to the point of leaving only ashes.”
“Ti-impossible..” Zeeta shed her tears. “Say if it's just a lie!”
“Ck.” Hitomi squinted her mouth. “Oh, star! Give this girl what she wants to see!”
Zeeta immediately saw a flashback that seemed to be deliberately displayed.
......................
‘BWHAAAMMM!’
The land around the newly rebuilt village courtyard by Gerda, Serina, and the villagers, was like a massive explosion.
“Having arrived, are you?” Gerda. “Alright.... time to get serious!” he then cleared the ground to ascertain the location of his enemy by crouching and holding his ground while closing his eyes. But....
“Hmm?” Gerda felt an awkwardness. “A-I can't feel his mana!”
Suddenly....
“You're looking for me..?”
“What's—?!” as soon as Gerda opened her eyes, her neck was already strangled and her legs were already on the ground.
Gerda was wide-eyed when she saw the face that attacked her suddenly. However, his neck was too tight and it hurt to say a word. But, with his Runes, the Dark Lord could hear his opponent's inner being. “I've guessed.... Zeeta, you're really alone.... Forgive me for not being a friend who can always be by your side...." The crying then poured out.
The Ruler of Darkness looks unsteady for a moment by lowering his face and grinding his teeth, but....
“It's your fault for getting in my way.”
‘BWUSSHH!’
Through the right hand that strangled Gerda, the Dark Lord did not hesitate to burn her with the black flames of error. Ash immediately fell on the ground, then he just left as if nothing had happened.

“AAAAAAAA!!” zeeta screams next to Hitomi, to his surprise. He did not expect that scream.
“AGAIN!
“AGAIN LIKE THIS!
“IF MY PRESENCE IS ONLY FOR DESTRUCTION, THEN WHY SHOULD I FIGHT?!
“Star Witch!
“I'm sorry, but I really can't afford.... My strength ...my strength is only bringing destruction to anyone I come into contact with, and I don't want to hurt anyone else.... I can't save your empire..”.
Zeeta. He then slowly curled up his body in the middle of it crying as he pleased.
Hitomi responded not by being touched or trying to calm her down, but as an awkwardness. He said, “Newly this time the star I read is wrong....
“Zeeta .. you are right, but off at the same time.
“You who are in front of me right now are indeed a naive girl to the point of actually deciding the same thing as you took from your world—let the enemy collect the Soul Stone.
“But there is always something that only others see burning brightly in him, when he thinks it is just a terrifying darkness.
“You are this one ... not facing the world with the same view as you.
“You who predicted he would not come to save Seiryuu, I guarantee it is wrong.”
Hitomi crouched down in front of Zeeta. “Look at me!” his orders. With puffy cheeks, a runny nose, and sullen eyes, Zeeta looked up.
‘PLARRR!’
Hitomi slapped Zeeta hard until her cheeks turned red and she fell. “Don't disappoint me, Zeeta!
“You are a Yggdrasil Seed like me! You think you can save my empire by yourself?
“If you can, then I can too! I am the same as you, a Yggdrasil Seed! Even with that guy named Klutzie!
“If we are together, Dragon, or yourself, we can definitely face!”
