Chapter 23 Adina Gives Keila an Ultimatum
500 Words
Keila woke up in shock as she fell out of her bed and found herself lying face down on the floor. She felt blood dripping from her nose and worst of it all, she had an excruciating migraine that felt like she had been shot. She cried out to Metatron, but he was no longer there as he had left when she fell asleep. Keila got up on her knees and looked up. There was a very realistic illusion of Adina in the room in front of her.
Without saying anything, Adina launched another psionic blast to strike Keila. But this time, being awake, Keila managed to counter Adina’s burst, and both Keila and Adina fell backward to the ground. Keila coughed up some blood and spit it out and Adina, in turn, had blood running down from her eyes. Keila screamed out.
Keila:
- What are you doing, what do you want?!
Adina:
- I came to kill you for killing my brother and stealing my rightful place.
- As it turns out, you’re stronger than I thought, and I cannot use my powers to kill you, without risking my own life.
Keila:
- Is that so?
- Crazy b***h! Feel this!
Keila tried directing a psionic blast onto Adina, but it failed as her mental capabilities were also weakened. Adina studied her for a second and spoke.
- Interesting, it seems you are too weak to smite me as well.
Keila:
- What a shame!
- So, what do we do? Duel at dawn?
Adina:
- I am afraid that is not how we solve problems on Eden.
- My demands are simple.
- You are to remove the god chip and leave Eden under my control. Don’t ever think of coming back!
Keila:
- And why would I agree to that?
Adina:
- Because you value your life.
- You are a foreigner here; Eden means nothing to you. Just leave!
Keila:
- I am afraid you are mistaken.
- Eden is my future. Eden is the future of mankind.
- I didn’t come here by accident; providence brought me here.
- With technology and resources on this rock, I will free humanity from the tyranny of the Terran Council.
Adina:
- I don’t care about any of that; you are a murderer and an imposter. Leave, or I will kill you!
Keila:
- f**k off, b***h!
After screaming out, Keila lashed a second psionic blast at Adina. To her great surprise, Adina simply vanished from her consciousness, and she could no longer detect Adina being a connected node to the Divine Technology. Metatron ran into the room. He looked at her with a worried expression.
Metatron:
- Mistress Keila! You are injured, what happened?
Keila:
- Just take me to the medical bay, I’ll tell you later.
Metatron lifted up Keila in his arms and rushed her to the medical bay for immediate treatment.
