Chapter 732: The Sixth Plan
Bringer of End and Eternal Destruction.
As an Immortal, he was responsible for annihilating countless races and destroying innurable worlds.
But like everything in this universe, his life eventually ca to an end.
[… It was a good end. I lived a fulfilling life.] Bringer of End's voice ca from the destructive mana around us. It was a remanent of his thoughts, a vestige of his existence that would fade away quickly.
"Goodbye. I'm honored of having fought against you."
[Is it so? Hahaha, that is good. Farewell, my friend. Enjoy your remaining life. And don't die too soon.]
"I will try." I nodded.
Just like that, the last remanent of his consciousness disappeared.
A powerful Immortal that brought terror and ruin to thousands of civilizations, ceased to exist.
"At the end of the day, nothing in this universe is truly everlasting. Not even Immortals like us." Ysnay said with a wry smile.
I nodded with a complicated expression.
Nothing lasts forever. Not even us.
Even if Immortals like us can, in theory, live forever, most Immortals die before reaching one hundred thousand years old.
Few live further than that, and even they perish eventually.
Perhaps, that is the most basic law of the universe. Life and death. Creation and destruction.
Even the universe will perish eventually, sowing the seeds for the birth of a new universe.
Just then, Ysnay staggered.
I was startled. When I looked towards her, I realized that her body was slowly fading away.
Her legs were turning into colorful dust, that eventually beca mana and fused with the world.
"… It looks like my ti has reached an end as well." Ysnay's expression was complicated.
I looked at her silently. Through my senses, I could feel how her existence slowly faded away.
This ti, there was no coming back from dead. She had sacrificed her entire existence, including her path to Immortality, to allow to kill Bringer of End, and as a result, she was going to disappear as well.
"Could it be that you are sad, my love?" She asked playfully.
"… I am. No matter how bad our relationship is, you are one of my few friends across my endless years wandering through the universe."
"I'm glad to hear that. But don't be sad. I plan to leave sothing behind."
As soon as Ysnay finished speaking, she waved her hand, and sothing appeared in her arms.
A child.
A little girl around one-year-old, with raven-black hair and obsidian-like black eyes. She was looking at us with an innocent smile on her face, giggling occasionally as she reached her hands out to us.
When I looked at her, my body froze completely.
"… My bloodline."
Ysnay smiled. "Yes, she is your child, William. Our child."
I was dumbfounded. Wait wait wait…
"It's not possible. I was careful to not give you my seed when I slept with you."
"I'm a witch that governs over fate, my love. It was hard, but I managed to get your seed without you noticing. I gave birth to her inside an alternate dinsion with a different flow of ti, so she is one year old already."
I was dumbfounded.
But after a while, I just smiled bitterly.
"… It looks like I was not careful enough, huh. Is it your sixth plan?"
"Surprised? I know that a child is not enough to make you accept by your side. But if it's just the child, you can accept her.
"She is the fruit of my love for you, William. I gave her my path to Immortality and engrave my love for you deeply into her soul. She is not , but in a certain way, she is also .
"As long as she is by your side, a part of will stay beside you."
By this point in ti, Ysnay's body had mostly faded away. Only her head, her torso, and her arms remained.
With a gentle smile on her face, Ysnay extended the child towards .<
"… What is her na?" I asked as I held her small body.
"Ysnay, just like . Is it selfish of to na her like ? That way, you will never forget ."
"It is... Her na will be Ysnay."
"Thank you, please take care of her."
"I will."
"What a sha. I would have liked to accompany you for much longer, but my ti has co to an end... Goodbye, my love. eting you was the most fortunate thing in my life."
"Goodbye Ysnay. If I could turn back ti, I wish that things could be different between us."
"I wish the sa." With the most beautiful smile I had seen on her, Ysnay caressed my cheek.
Then, her body dispersed in the air, leaving behind nothing that could prove her existence.
Only the little girl in my arms could make people rember her.
"Even Immortals die as well, huh."
Today, two Immortals died.
One was my enemy, and another was my friend.
I did not cry for either of them, but I was certainly sad.
With complicated emotions in my mind, I kissed the forehead of my child.
"Let's go ho, little Ysnay. Do you know? Your mother was the greatest Seer in the universe."
"And I'm sure that when you grow up, she will be proud of you."
