Chapter 249: [Prelude to War!]
The next 7 days passed pretty smoothly as nothing happened in the town. No more new demons or angels. The Higher Gods worked like usual without ever bothering me again. While Iris and Harik were shocked by that previous incident, they still didn't run away and kept working in the clinic as usual.
The All Father and Luciana were not seen again. I thought about looking for Luciana at least, but then decided not to since I felt like it would be a waste to do so. If she doesn't want to be found, then it would be impossible to do so.
If I really want to meet her, I can just look for her in another [Return].
Though everything was the same as ever, there was one thing that was different from before. That was Zero. I didn't find Zero even once after that day, as if he vanished in thin air. It was probably either the All Father or Luciana. Or perhaps he vanished on his own? Anyways, it did not concern me for now.
Because for now, I could only concentrate on the bright black portal a dozen kilometers away from the city. A portal so big that the entire city could pass through that portal.
It appeared out of nowhere, like one second it wasn't there, and the next it was there.
"I wished it wasn't true," Castellina spoke as she walked outside the gate. She looked at me for a moment before ignoring me and then walking forward. Hecate and Helios also followed behind her.
My eyes then turned to the sky, where the girl in black hair was standing with a long wooden stick in her hand that was twice her height. Behind her was the blue haired kid with a focused expression, his eyes narrowed towards the portal, while an angel doned in white levitated just behind them.
'Fate Weavers, huh?' I thought as I was pretty sure that those three were the Fate Weavers. Even that Angel girl that I was searching for previously.
The air pressure suddenly rose, as two other beings stepped into the area. Unlike before, the white haired boy now had a silver armor and a golden white spear in his hand. The aura of divinity around him was at least 1000 times more fierce than when I first saw him.
Beside him was another guy in plain clothes. A black haired kid who looked a bit older than the All-Father, but had similar facial features to that of the All-Father. If I were to make a guess, then that was the heaven's Guardian that the First Fate Weaver was talking about.
The Aura around them was no joke.
Both of them appeared a few meters ahead of the three Gods, and began walking forward. Soon I saw rows and rows of Angels appearing in the air, with a bunch of coloured beings that seemed to be containing various amounts of divinity in them. They must have been the minor Gods that were watching us from before.
"Are we going to fight too?" Iris appeared from behind along with Harik, whose eyes were focused on the Angel in the air. Even though they were wide open with shock, they were also warm knowing that she was fine.
"Yeah. Though be careful. I won't be able to protect you."
At least not in this turn.
They both nodded at me in a serious tone. My eyes then looked at my clone 'Josh' with whom Geralt and Aisha walked along and a bunch of more strong people. I had already met with my clone before so I know what happened in the underground market.
'Well. Another thing that I need to do in the future returns,' I thought as I looked at the front, hoping to find that one person that I was looking for.
The man wearing the red coat. I remembered the vision was about a man like that being the center or something. Don't see him on the battlefield though? Will he appear later?
On that note, even the son of Laplace wasn't present here. Which would… make sense given the question that why would he even be here?
I sighed as I understood that this meant that there was a high chance that the reason the Son of Laplace would be here was because I would call him. Though this also intrigues me. Why would I bring such an important chess piece to this battlefield of monsters? He is powerful but not that powerful.
-Thump! Thump! Thump!
And breaking my thoughts, I saw the monsters appearing from the portal. Each of them at least level 1000 or more. Ancient monsters that are far stronger than normal ones. Having patterns and scripts written all over the body.
They were giant, reaching towering heights, they walked with each step covering at least a 100 meters. But even then they were the weaker ones.
'It can't be,' my eyes widened as I now realized the gravity of the situation. It seemed like I was still underestimating that whole scenario.
"They shouldn't be appearing before the 4th Calamity," I mumbled as I saw the 2 Giants. The True Ancient Giants, the 2 of 13 Giants, the strongest being, each of which can go against dozens of Higher Gods at once. They appeared standing there at the far end of the army of monsters.
But they were mythical entities that only existed at the edge of the world? It's impossible. The gates to the edge of the world were only opened when everything was already destroyed. Then how… it doesn't make sense…
And as I thought more about this absurd situation, another answer popped up in my mind. Things that don't make sense can only be done by beings that don't make any sense.
And my heart skipped a beat as I thought of a possibility that I didn't want to confirm.
"Luciana. Are you really not going to join me?" But the ugly voice confirmed my doubts. A red devil with two black horns appeared out of the portal, flying in the air as he looked at Luciana with a lust filled with gaze.
"Us Fate Weavers can kill all the Primordials and take over the world. Why don't you listen to me? Become my wife, Luciana. Once we achieve our purpose, I can even promise to give you what you are desperately searching for," and that demon spoke with a slight plea, as his eyes looked at Luciana with hope.
And at that point, I understood another piece of the puzzle that I didn't need to know.
The reason why Son of Laplace will come here.
The father who was supposed to be in the deepest pit of hell. The one that the son was searching for day and night. The being whom every being in this world deemed as dead.
That guy was the Fate Weaver standing against us right now.
The 5th Fate Weaver.
The Fate Weaver of Calamity, Laplace.
