Once Genesis saw the Gods leaving, she looked at the Supre God of Ti almost imdiately after that, glaring into his empty eyes, and the will-o-wisps within them.
"Ti, I don't recall you ever being friends with Hades, you have never spoken with him either…" Genesis said. "What's going on with your current choices? You refuse to help and now you do sothing on your own?"
"Last ti I checked, Genesis, I had the free will to do as I please, as long as it benefits the world, you said it wouldn't bother you," Ti said. "I have been working hard to protect this world like you don't believe. Ti is twisting endlessly, I can see the past, present, and future at the sa ti. You could never understand my dilemmas, and why I choose the things I choose until it is finally the mont for Ti to reveal it to you."
"You're always cryptic…" Genesis said. "The power of Ti you've cultivated for so long… How is it possible that it has beco this potent? Based in what you say, it goes beyond my own powers."
"Indeed they do, it could be said I am one with Ti in a way," the Supre God of Ti said. "The secret? My diligence, and perhaps my past."
"Okay but what about your friendship with Hades?" the Supre Goddess of Fate asked. "What do you even an? Also isn't my power over Fate enough for such worries to disappear?"
"It's not enough, your power can only cover a certain perspective around you. It is certainly useful for the present," nodded the Ti god. "But it might not be for the future I am seeing."
"…What?" Fate felt sightly annoyed. "You're saying I am weak?!"
"Co now, don't fight…" the supre goddess of souls and reincarnation sighed. "I'm sorry about this, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, the seniors are a bit cranky sotis…"
"A-Ah, I see…" Tsukuyomi nodded. "Well, I can understand the frustration… Ahem."
"Hmm!" Amaterasu nodded and smiled nervously. "I hope we can get along…"
It was very clear the two of them were very nervous, they didn't expect things would get this serious out of nowhere!
As Rulers of the two places of Genesis that are perhaps the most bountiful, they're used to great feasts and celebrations, but there was nothing like that here.
Their coronation only ca with several responsibilities and a heavy duty now… They weren't really regretting anything, but it was certainly more taxing than they imagined.
"Of course, you two can feel free to refer to as an equal," Ti said with his very deep, intimidating voice. "Your presence here is refreshing, we needed so new blood for a while. Especially because those old won over there won't stop being suspicious of even a fly."
"O-Old won?!" Fate cried angrily. "I am a beautiful woman that has kept her youth all these years! I am not an old hag!"
"I never called you that…" Ti sighed.
"Hmph, considering my race, I am rather young, very young at that! Don't you dare call an old granny!" Genesis said.
"I never said that…" Ti muttered.
"A-Ah… Please stop…" Astra sighed, facepalming. "You're embarrassing us all! We're supposed to be an important position!"
"…"
"…"
As all the bickering continued, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu weren't close enough to anybody to even initiate a conversation, so they remained mostly in silence, looking at things just… happen.
"Aah, I want to go back to my palace and party all night…" Tsukuyomi sighed internally.
"I want to go relax in my hot spring while I eat delicious rice cakes…" Amaterasu dread.
As they spoke, the Supre God of Ti addressed why he chose to help Zagreus and Hades.
"I can see many tilines at the sa ti…" He sighed. "I an ancient one, he was my companion."
"What?" Genesis asked. "H-How?"
"When I was but a foolish young man," Ti said. "When I was all lost, when those I loved were lost against the claws of injustice. He was there, he saved , he helped … He is a friend I cannot ever forget."
"But that was a tiline that didn't exist, wasn't it?" Fate asked.
"Is that what you think?" Ti wondered. "Yes… perhaps you're not wrong. But tilines tend to converge, things could happen at the sa ti, present and future, past and present. Ti is endlessly moving forward, but even the past is not lost or forgotten, it can be weaved into the present and the future… And I can see it happen before my eyes."
"I can't with him, he speaks so strangely, I can barely understand him," Fate sighed. "And that's really sothing, considering we are so ancient and wise…"
"…" Genesis glanced at Ti once more.
Her suspicious eyes slowly changed, for so reason, the words that this cold, mysterious man spoke felt so filled with emotions and nostalgia.
"Just who are you, Ti? Will you ever reveal it to us one day?"
He had no past she knew about.
He had no history she knew about either.
He appeared one day after the War, having already gained the Supre Power of Ti in all of Genesis.
She didn't even have to guilt trip him or sothing, he willingly accepted setting up Genesis own "Ti" for everyone.
His past?
Was he a human?
Was he a demon?
Was he an angel or sothing else?
Who was he?
She couldn't quite tell.
Because what she saw beneath his cloak…
It wasn't anything like she had ever seen before.
She could only recall mories about him after he joined them once the war was over.
It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
As if he had traveled… through ti.
She knew there was sothing about him that was very important.
If he truly traveled through ti, then his presence here…
He was trying to do sothing to save this world, which might've been dood from the future he ca from.
"Genesis."
And then he spoke to her out of nowhere.
"Hm? What?"
"Don't be afraid, and don't worry."
"Huh?"
"I promise you that I will protect this world…"
"…"
She fell silent, looking elsewhere.
Seemingly slightly embarrassed, for so odd reason.
"Thank you."
And instead of acting proud, she thanked him.
"You're welco."
