Theoretically, Io should have vanished with the disturbances of fate long ago, maybe another human princess favored by Zeus would have erged, or perhaps similar events would unfold, but the existence nad 'Io' should not appear again in the Chaos World of this era.
But the reality is that she still erged, and even her fated path remains unchanged. If that's the case, what was supposed to be her original fate?
"To give birth to Epaphus, that offspring of Zeus and her... He shall rule over Egypt, becoming the sovereign of the Nile River banks."
With an indescribable expression, Laine vaguely captured so mysteries behind this. He had assud that this content would not reappear in the Chaos World since this world seed to have no connection with Egypt, but now it seed his understanding might be flawed.
Myths do not arise without a cause; perhaps in the original destiny, Io's existence actually symbolized Chaos's encroachnt and assimilation of another world — not a world attracted like the Nine Realms, but a collision that was destined to happen.
But here cos the problem: The evolution of the Chaos World had accelerated significantly due to Laine's presence, and with civilization's birth changing with the eras, but as for another...
If it exists, then all would be as per usual. But if it doesn't... then when the other world still develops along its original trajectory, and Io brings the so-called 'Destined' king of Egypt there, her fate likely won't be pleasant.
Because according to Laine's guess, so conceptual collision between the two worlds had already occurred, and in the original mythological path, Io was supposed to be born thousands of years later.
Perhaps by that ti, the barriers between the two realms had already begun to overlap, and even Chaos had secured an absolute advantage. What the human princess would do is not 'conquering', but rather akin to sounding the victory horn.
But now it's different. The contention between worlds may not have finished its course, and everything remains unknown. Yet the existence of 'Destiny' is so rigid that it still sent Io to the other side, forgetting that it was not a 'occupied territory' but an 'enemy state'.
"So, are you able to pinpoint her whereabouts?"
Next to him, Nyx, unaware of Laine's line of thought, recalled the past and realized that the 'Nile River' did not exist in her mories.
The Chaos World left no place unknown to her; if she had no recollection, then the only possibility was that the so-called 'Nile River' did not exist in this world. This resolved her confusion, as indeed powers of the world realm could evade her scrutiny.
As for why Laine knew these secrets beyond the world, she found it natural. This ancient god, born with the world, has always been so unique; no one knows what truly happened before all creation or what he had truly done.
"I'm afraid I cannot yet."
Shaking his head and noticing Nyx's sowhat displeased face, Laine slowly said:
"The distance between us is too far, and we are likely separated by a barrier of worlds... but don't worry, there'll be a chance later on."
"When the monstrous beast repeats the attack on Olympus, and the gods scatter and flee... if everything is as I have conjectured, this is a part of Chaos's 'Destined Fate', a trajectory for 'devouring worlds' that It has long established. Then, if we follow them when the ti cos, we might find the place Io went to."
"But Nyx, even if you are not equivalent to your original self, can't you really see the trajectories of fate?"
He was puzzled, as from the mont they had t, he had seldom felt that omniscience of fate from Nyx.
In theory, with the Triad governing destiny, Nyx's understanding of fate should surpass his own. After all, mythology is but a semblance of the truth told in later eras, how could it match directly viewing the 'script'?
"That's for you to answer — at least in the first era, before I made contact with you, fate was not a mystery to ."
It seed like a complaint, but to Laine, the veiled lady of the night appeared quite cheerful.
"Only those who have possessed destiny begin to detest it; you wouldn't understand this feeling... Heh, let's not talk of such boring matters. How long will it take in the future you've foreseen?"
"...Not much longer, at most, it won't exceed a thousand years."
By Nyx's side, listening to her aningful sighs, Laine reaffird his choices even though he did not know what she had witnessed in her original destiny.
Not to prophesy oneself, not to willingly confine oneself to the restraints of fate, then whatever happens, everything is possible.
"Then let's wait, a thousand years isn't long."
Stretching languidly, Nyx glanced over the desolate fifth layer of the Spirit Realm. There was nothing of interest here; she decided to return to her own place.
But before leaving, as if rembering sothing, she turned back curiously and asked:
"Since you are now interested in that world, what do you plan to do? You won't simply be watching the play like , will you?"
"Of course not, and besides, Nyx, it's not your first day knowing , what I plan to do is quite obvious, isn't it."
Calmly, though he had just learned this unexpected news, Laine had clearly made up his mind.
