Re: Player

Back then when I heard the story? Damn. I felt chills down my spine, enough to make me wonder if all the hard work that I am doing is going to end up turning to dust someday? But then as time passed, I calmed my nerves and told myself that what is going to happen in the future, we will face it in the future.

But still…

'69% sure both Luciana and that guy are fate weavers or higher,' I understood back then, but Vladmir mentioning that to me confirmed it. In fact, knowing about Luciana from the story, I think I can more or less figure out a way to keep her under the tabs in case I meet her.

The real problem was that other guy.

'Well. Let's hope we can tackle that with time too,' I sighed as I recalled what happened to the other gods after that.

Accordingly, Queina and the other gods didn't get all their powers back. They more or less lost 90% of their powers, and were quite in shambles back then.

It was at that time that Queina separated herself into fragments, while each fragment collected power from all the dimensions. In the short run, she would lose her power even more, maybe getting weaker than even an average mortal.

But as time will pass, she would be able to raise those fragments each to the power level of gods and higher, before combining all fragments and rising to a new height.

This was the reason Quiena was in her fragment form right now.

As for the other gods, they too had their own ways of raising their powers back to newer heights. While they were scared shitless from what just happened, this new height of power was something that opened up their eyes to a new level.

Just finding out the new height of power was enough to instill new ambition in their eyes. Something that they had lost ages ago. Something that their inner desire was creeping to find.

And thus this apocalypse-sort of began another era. An era where each god desired to reach heights far greater than they had ever achieved. All in hope of confronting the two fate weavers in the future.

But that's something that can be discussed over the time when we will meet gods.

Right now, the main focus was to find out about the Angel and the Heaven's Wheel.

After thinking about how to start this conversation, I turned to the Goddess of Space, Queina. Looking deep into her eyes, I then spoke two words.

"Wiregia Luciana."

This was enough to silence her. Her brows furrowed as her eyes narrowed at me, while her undivided attention focused on me. Alepsia, who was getting more and more confused, looked at me with a complex expression.

She seemed to have a lot of questions herself, but given the environment, she was keeping those to herself.

Not wasting any time, I then explained to her about my powers, how they function. From how I had met Queina before many times and how it came to the point where she had told me the story about the Cronica Wiregia Luciana.

"Tell me everything I told you," she was shocked. And in disbelief, too. Nevertheless, she listened without uttering a single word. I guess she wanted to confirm what and how much I knew.

Since I had to explain everything to Alepsia too, this worked in my favor. And I began retelling the story of Luciana to both of them, while they kept their ears perked up all the time.

Alepsia was shocked at times and bewildered at other times. She was pretty surprised throughout the whole story, though. Everything that I told seemed fascinating to her, as she made all sorts of expressions throughout the story.

And as we reached the conclusion, I also added all the things that happened in the Coast City as well, before finally coming to the conclusion of how I reached here.

When I finished the story, a silence ensued as both the Goddess kept looking at me with an indescribable expression. They seemed to think about something that I couldn't exactly pinpoint.

"Heaven's Wheel. An Angel. A Vampire. And the Fate Weaver of Time, Wiregia Luciana, huh?" Queina was the one who broke the silence as she took the crux of the whole thing and began pondering about it.

And then, after sorting her thoughts, she looked at me with a slightly apologetic look.

"I apologise Adam. But even I know little about the Heaven's Wheel. As far as I remember, in all of history, it had only made its appearance 3 times," she spoke as she raised three of her fingers before continuing.

"One was when the Titans appeared millennia ago and the All Father God of that time used it to kill the King of Titans."

She put down one of the three fingers.

"Second was presumably later during the War of Demons and Gods, once again used by the All Father of that time, who used all his life force to summon that weapon and use it against the Demons, wiping half of them in a single moment."

And then she folded another finger, leaving only one.

"And finally, the current King of Gods supposedly used it in a war that occurred in the Demonic Realm. Don't know the details, but from what I heard, another monster appeared there and 2 Hell's Guardian and King of Gods worked together to stop a monster from destroying the Demon Realm."

Finally, keeping her hand down, she then continued.

"However, I never saw any of that happening with my own eyes, you see? So I can't really give you concrete information on that."

I turned silent at that. Not because of the lack of concrete information on that weapon, but because of the information that I had received about that weapon right now.

It was certainly hard to take all that in at once.

'Well, let's focus on what we can do for now.'

I took a deep breath as I slapped my cheeks and then shook my head before looking at Queina and spoke," it's all right. What about that angel, though? Any idea?"

Not to my surprise, Queina shook her head, saying she doesn't have any idea. But a voice came from the other Goddess, making us turn our heads to her.

"About that…" Alepsia spoke out as she looked at me sheepishly and continued,"… I think I can help you out with that."

And both Queina and I turned to her, giving her all our attention.
