Suppressing my anxiety, I parted my lips.
"How am I connected with the Human God?"
"How, you ask?"
She replied, her voice filled with amusent.
"I am not an idiot. Even when I tried to deny it, all the clues and evidence that are thrown in my face are forcing to accept reality," I replied, looking down with a tired sigh.
Since the ti I arrived in this world, this is the first ti I’ve felt this exhausted.
Tired of how I will be in the future.
Or past...
Or is it future?
Fuck, this is a lot more confusing than I thought.
"Let tell you how he was known in our ti,"
she said, and I slightly lifted my head.
"The Human God was a ruthless person. He killed gods and dragons alike without any rcy,"
she continued, her gaze intensifying as it landed on .
"When we asked why he was doing this, he would laugh like a maniac, saying he was just returning the favor."
"What do you an, maniac?" I asked, frowning. "Was he a madman or sothing?"
"Madman, yes, but more than a madman, he was a broken person," she replied.
I imdiately sharpened my senses as I heard her words.
"How was he broken?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.
"When you see a broken person, you instinctively know that he is broken. The way he talked, the way he tried to hide his face behind a mask just to hide his emotions told a lot about how broken he was."
After she finished her words, she gave so ti to soak in the information, which I desperately needed.
"So you are saying he was broken, and the only thing he did was to kill gods and dragons," I asked after so ti of silence.
"I never said that," she replied, shaking her giant head. "Even that madman had soone that he loved dearly. The two lovers of his should be great figures as of now."
"Lovers?" I asked, curious about sothing unexpected around a madman.
"Yes, the reason for the starting of the war between the Human God and the rest of the gods," she replied, her voice trembling a little as she rembered the past.
"Now you’re making curious. What happened then?" I asked again, sensing she was keeping the main points hidden from .
Though it wasn’t surprising that the reason for war was because of a... woman.
"Mortals shouldn’t know the secrets of the gods, child," she replied, shaking her giant head again.
"But aren’t you telling about the Human God for a while now?" I asked, frowning.
"The Human God never had any divinity that made him a true god. But unlike him, I don’t know about those two. Talking about them can’t be taken lightly."
She replied before she rest her head back on the ground.
"But what about the dragons? How did they beco his enemy?" I asked as I looked at her.
*Back then dragons were second most arrogant creatures after the gods and when the Human God refused there request of sacrificing humans in their na, they joint the gods who were against him."
"That’s it?" I asked feeling sothing was amiss, "as far as I rembered he killed so many dragons that they had to hide in an island just to preserve there race."
"Well, there is an absurdity that he used to say that he didn’t like reptiles, so he just killed them on sight."
"..."
Aghh, Fuck....That’s sothing I would do...
Another sigh escaped my lips as I looked down again, closing my eyes.
"Still, you never answered my question," I said, not getting the reply I was looking for. "How am I connected to him?"
"That unique energy of yours, that’s the thing that connects the both of you," she replied after being silent for a while.
"That’s not what I was asking," I felt a bitter taste in my mouth as I couldn’t directly ask the question I wanted to ask.
’Am I the Human God?’
"No one can answer that question, my child."
As if she knew what I was thinking, she replied .
"Why?"
"It’s inevitable, child. Those who know the Human God’s real identity can never reveal it to others. No one can or will tell you who the Human God is, and no one will tell you who you really are."
"..."
I remained silent after hearing her words, still trying to wrap my mind around the aning of her words.
"Why can’t you just tell honestly?" I grumbled, even though I understood it’s not her fault.
"Child," she called in a tender voice unlike the calm voice that she used before.
"The one you are now is like a person in a dense fog, and the mont the fog clears up, you will start to walk on the path in front of you, the inevitable path."
"The path destiny wants to walk on," I mumbled as I understood her words.
"The path that leads you towards your fate," she replied, closing her eyes.
And the fate of Eden was to die while protecting Angelina.
So, if I beco certain of things or if I beco aware of a certain future that I will try to attain with certainty, will it lead to my death?
Or is there sothing else that I still don’t know?
Still, one thing that I can never be certain of is whether I am the Human God or if the Human God is .
"So, I can’t be certain of anything now, huh?" A light chuckle escaped my lips.
"When you are strong enough, go towards the Katarwos Continent. You will get a lot of your answers there," she said, opening her eyes again.
"Katarwos?" I asked in confusion.
"The sealed continent," she replied, and I nodded my head.
"Sothing else you want to tell ?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Find my other sisters if you want to know more about yourself."
"And where can I find them?" I asked, frowning. Explore more stories at .Côm
"At least one of them is sealed in the Eldoria continent, that’s all I know of," she replied, not providing much detail.
I nodded, planning to visit the continent of the beast n as well, as it was the place where Nadya and Elysia’s mother was sealed.
"Now, it’s ti to end this," she said again, looking at . "Child, grant the death that I long for."
"What?" I asked in surprise as I looked at her.
"Unbind the chain that binds my soul with my body, child. That’s all I want from you," she replied.
"That chain binds only your soul?" I asked suspiciously, looking at her.
"The Human God was not a rciful person, child. The only reason he kept alive was so that I can deliver his last ssage to you," she replied, lifting her head.
"And you told his last words?" I asked.
"No," she replied, shaking her head, "And I take an oath on the na of my ancestor Ymir that I shall leave my body and move towards the Niflheim."
After being reassured by her words, I waited for the Human God’s last ssage.
"Paradoxes are inevitable."
"..."
I waited for her to continue, but she didn’t.
"That’s it?" I asked, anticipating more words.
"That’s it."
But to my dismay, she didn’t say more.
’paradoxes are inevitable.’
I repeated those words in my mind, trying to make heads or tails of the sentence.
But no matter how much I tried to understand, I couldn’t think of anything in my current situation to which these words could apply.
What should I do about it?
Should I be wary of paradoxes, or should I be ready for them to occur in the future or past?
But then again, can I believe that paradoxes are inevitable with certainty?
What if it ans that I shouldn’t have certainty about it?
"Haah... Fine, what do you want to do?" I asked as I stood up not making the ss of my mind by thinking too much.
"Touch the chain that binds and you will understand the rest," she replied. I nodded at her words as I moved towards her.
"With my death, the cycle will start again."
As I approached her, a faint whisper echoed in my head.
"The Gods will rise again and chaos will spread around the world once again."
*Argh..*
As soon as I placed my hand on the chain, almost instantly the Star Energy within started to resonate with the chains getting sucked by it.
"’They’ will soon arrive in this world as well."
The thousands of ters-long chain started to shrink in front of my eyes with an unimaginable speed.
"I wish you luck, The God Who Denied Reality."
*Boom.*
That’s the last words I heard before the huge head of the serpent fell down and I lost my conscious.
