Intermission: The Truth

‘Haaahhhh’

I have no idea what is happening , but these bunch of fools are really looking to die ... In terms of power , considering that I am in my astral form , one short revelation could decimate them ...

“Hecate ! What are you doing here ? ” [Old Voice]

From the crowd an old man , with white hair and beard and a huge freaking spider body floating in midair screams at us ...

“F-Father ?” [Hecate]

Wait a second ... That is your father ? Ok , no mass destruction spell then ...

Pff , this is getting more and more annoying .

Well, there is just a way to deal with this in seconds ... Although I don’t really like this idea , it is the best .

I start gathering a huge amount of energy in one of my hands . The mass starts spinning and emanating a colossal amount of red flames .

When they see this , everyone starts backing up a little . Flames dances in the sky covering everything . The temperature starts rising to the point where the weak ones fall like flies . It doesn’t look like they died so I can continue the show .

“Andel ?” [Balcifer]

She looks in my direction with an uneasy look on her face .

“Calm down , it’s almost done !” [Andel]

The flames turn blue and the temperature drops beyond the freezing point .

Everyone has stunned expressions on their faces as the blazing hell turned into a frozen world .

“Don’t be this surprised ... If there is a fire that burns emanating heat why couldn’t there be a flame that burns eating heat in the vicinity ?” [Andel]

I start squeezing my hand and the flames gather around the huge army completely surrounding them .

“Blue Frozen Flame Seal !” [Andel]

The flames solidify transforming into a half liquid half solid mass that covers the whole army like a dome .

A few brave ones try to break free through the flames , but with their power, it would be impossible to destroy my barrier . At least for now .

Soon those powerhouses at the front start casting all kind of divine arts and techniques towards the barrier . A few small cracks appear here and there , but in seconds they disappear like it was all a mirage .

“Andel-sama , my family is in there ... ? ” [ Hecate ]

She looks at me with panicked eyes while uttering those words slowly ...

“Calm down , I just sealed them ... Furthermore , from the look of it , in less than a day they should be able to destroy the formation ...” [Andel]

“Soooo ... What now then ?” [Balcifer]

Yeah ... What now ? Well ... There is only one choice I guess ... I grab everyone using my divine power and face towards the direction of the Eternal Tower where Yra should be .

“Now ... We run !” [Andel]

‘Haaaahhhh ??!!??’ [Everyone]

----------------------------------------------

The Eternal Tower ... A huge dark tower that exists in the middle of all the 9 Mortal Dimensional Planes . From Balcifer’s description , it looks like it has a total of 99 floors that , although are huge , are completely empty as well ... I am not sure why , but I have a feeling that Yra is going to be on the hundred floor ...

Using Fourth Revelation : Space Warp , I easily get to my destination in no time at all ... At least, this time, I was not transported to Candy Land by the Bacon King ...

At the bottom of the tower , a small entrance can be seen . We enter and start climbing . Soon We are on the 99’th floor . I look around for a few seconds and then look up .

“Yra ! I am here ! ” [Andel]

A heavy sound can be heard as a portion of the ceiling falls down revealing the entrance towards the next floor .

I hesitate a little ... On that floor there is Yra ... My first love . The one I thought I lost all those years ago ... Although she has done quite a lot of bad things , this doesn’t mean that I don’t love her anymore !

“Go ... We will wait here !” [Balcifer]

“Thank you !” [Andel]

Not hesitating anymore , I go up ...

Bright ... This floor in incomparable brighter than the others ... But again , it’s completely empty ... Or almost empty .

In the middle of the floor , a stone throne resides . On it stands her ... Even until this very moment, I hoped to have made a mistake in my judgment ... somewhere ... somehow ... But now Yra is right in front of me . There is no mistake . It’s her !

“Hey, Andel ... This is the first time we’re meeting in person . I am glad that you came !” [Yra]

Uhhh ... What the hell do you mean the first time ? Have you gone insane , or have you forgot about my existence about only three thousand years .. Uf hu Uf HU ... Calm down and act properly !

“I came . Now I want an explanation ...” [Ande]

She is smiling ... Her smile ... Is the same smile from back then ... But ... Where the hell are her ears and tail ? She looks like a human ... It’s definitely her , but in the same time ... There is something that makes her seem like a total stranger in my eyes ... No ... It must be my imagination !

“Of course . But first, have a sit ... ” [Yra]

From the ground, another throne identical with hers appears . I sit down not hesitating for a second with a cold look on my face .

“Now ... Let me tell you the truth ... After you listen to my story , you can decide what to do . You can kill me if you want ... I won’t stop you ... Or better said , I can’t stop you !” [Yra]

Kill ? Uhhh ... Yes , I hate you a little at this point for everything you’ve done ... But still, kill ?

“Andel ... In this world, there are certain existences known as Eternals .

They are normal beings that have the ability to achieve unbelievable things in the future . Normal beings , that seem to be just regular citizens at one point but , with the proper stimulus can reach levels beyond any reason or common sense .

This kind of individuals are extremely rare and usually, they just have normal , boring lives . They are getting born , they live their life and then they die a normal death .

Usually, this is how things happen . Only once in ten billion years one of those beings truly awakens . And still , right now , not one but three Eternals have been forcefully awakening ... Do you know why ? ” [Yra]

Uhh ... How the hell am I supposed to know that ... Wait ... She said “forcefully awaken ” . This mean that they were awakened by someone . Considering the fact that I am most likely one of those Eternals , the one that awakened me should be her ...

But why awaken us ? There is something strange about all this mess ... For now, let’s listen to her story ...

“No ... ” [Andel]

“ At least you might have figured out that I am the one awakening the Eternals ... The reason is quite simple actually ... Soon there is going to be a calamity hitting this whole dimension ... And that calamity comes in the form of a war . A war between dimensions . A war between Creation Gods . ”

War ? What war ? More questions pop out of nowhere ...

“If you have not guessed this yet , I am a Creation God . I am the one that created this nine-dimensional planes together with all the rest of your former universe .

I’ve been born long ago , with no father , no mother . At one point I just ... Was .

A Creation God has power beyond any limits . We can create and destroy . But we are not unique , omnipotent or omnipresent !

In the Multiverse , there might be billions of Creation Gods . That I am not sure . But one thing that I know for certain is that there are others and not all of them are friendly .

This is how the current situation appeared ... A certain Creation God from a different part of the Multiverse decided to attack and conquer my universe . And this is the pretext for the upcoming war ... ” [Yra]

“WAIT A SECOND ! There are three things that I don’t understand here ...

ONE : considering how strong you are why don’t you just obliterate the whole enemy army .

TWO : Why does another god want to conquer this universe ? Is there something special here ?

And THREE : Why have I not heard anything about this war until now ... Not even a rumour ! ? ” [Andel]

“ Firstly , let me mention that if two Creation Gods were to fight , both their universes could end up completely obliterated ...

This is the reason why It was decided that the war shall be kept in the hands of the inhabitants of the two dimensions ...

As for your second question , there is nothing special about this world ... But please keep in mind that Creation Gods are pretty much immortal ... At some point , some of those gods get bored ... In their point of view , dimensional wars are a way of making things interesting again . Pretty much just some games to entertain them .

As for the rumours ... There couldn’t exist any considering that you are the first one to hear the truth ... ” [Yra]

“Okay ... Let me a second ... From what you said , combined with my past , you are actually the one responsible for pretty much everything that happened to me ... You were behind the death of my parents ... You throw me in the Rift all those years ago ... And you did all this stuff just to awaken me . Am I right ?” [Andel]

“Yes !” [Yra]

Uhh ... I really want to stab her to death right now ... She might have had a good reason , and she might be a Creation God , but ... I can’t forgive her just like that ...

“I don’t ask for forgiveness Andel ... Everything I’ve done was for my universe’s sake . I regret nothing ! ” [Yra]

“Very well... I won’t forgive you ... And one day I will pay you back for everything you’ve done ... But ... For now at least ... I ... Still, have one more question ... Why did you enslaved Balcifer and implemented that messed up Soul Tears System ?” [Andel]

“I ... Needed time ... You probably didn’t notice this , but , at this point , even leaving this throne is impossible for me . This is because I use all my power to keep the gate to the other dimension closed .

What we need right now the most is for the other two Eternals to awaken completely ...

With my current power , I might be able to keep the gate shut for at least another 82 years . Soul Tears could be used to gain some more time . This is why I decided to introduce that system to the other two realms as well ...

But I am stuck here ... I can’t move and can’t take my eyes from the gate, not even for a second ... Even sending my voice through space is almost impossible ... This is why I had to enslave Balcifer and use her to conquer the other realms ... ” [Yra]

“Then , why did you not enslave Lucifer and Ayame ? Why Balcifer ?” [Andel]

“They refused to help me and ... I didn’t have the power to force them ... Balcifer was a little more ... Vulnerable ... ” [Yra]

“This doesn’t make any freaking sense ... Why would she be vulnerable ?” [Andel]

“ Loneliness can be ... Dangerous . Ayame and Lucifer always had quite a good relationship while Balcifer always isolated herself . To be honest , you are the first person that has made her smile in the last ... I don’t even know how many years . ” [Yra]

“I ... see .... Very well Yra ... I have one more question ... But please answer honestly ... ” [Andel]

“I am not Yra !” [Yra?]

“Huh ?????!?!?!!?” [Andel]

‘Swish’

With the wave of her hand , a small wooden door appears out of nowhere ... When the door opens , a person comes out ... Uhhh ... Yra ... Fluffy years , long glittering tail ... And the same body and face as the Goddess in front of me ...

“W-what is going on here ? How ? Why ? ” [Andel]

“She is Yra from your past ... She is my doppelganger ... I created her three thousand years ago and offered her a soul and a mission ... That mission was to make you fall in love with her and then die so that you can awaken . ” [Yra?]

“Then ... How is she here ? Or is this another doppelganger that you created when you were bored ? ”[Andel]

“Andel you are mistaken about one thing ... Although she is my doppelganger , she has a soul and , with a soul , free will is guaranteed . Her feelings for you , her memories all of those ... Were not part of my plan ... When the moment came , she actually refused to die ... She fought to the last moment but dying was necessary ... So I asked that god from your former world to kill her ... So that you could awaken !

You can choose to either believe me or not but ... ”[Yra?]

Not allowing her to finish , I approach Yra ... Look her in the eyes , touch her fluffy years ... Kiss her ... She doesn’t resist at all ... It’s the same as back then ... She is ... Yra !

“Creation God ... You still haven’t explained to me how can she be here ...” [Andel]

“Ha ha ha ... It looks like you stopped calling me ‘Yra’ ... Actually, my name is Eira ... It sounds the same but it’s written differently . Te he ...

As for your question ... I know that this is not enough , not even by close , but consider this as a mean of me apologising for everything I’ve done to you ...” [Eira]

“Eira ... I see ... I won’t forgive you ... Ever ... But ... For now, I will help you . “[Andel]

“Like I said , I don’t seek forgiveness ... I know my sins and embrace them ... Still , for now at least ... Thank you for accepting my invitation !

Now , like I mentioned before ... You are not alone Andel ... There are two more awaken Eternals ... Soon they will join you and , in 82 years or so , the three of you shall protect this whole universe !” [Eira]

‘Grin’

“Oooooh ... Sound like fun !” [Andel]

--------------------------------------------

“ Hey, Eira ... “ [Andel]

“Yes ? ” [Eira]

“Why spiders ? ” [Andel]

“Everyone has a trigger that will help them achieve awakening ... Yours was arachnophobia ...” [Eira]

“I see ... What about the other two ?” [Andel]

“Well ... they are not way better than you ... One can’t use wield any kind of magic in her body and the other can be human only during the night and during the day he is a fluffy bunny !” [Eira]

“ Yeah ... Arachnophobia is good ... I like arachnophobia ! ” [Andel]

“I thought so !” [Eira]
