The room was pletely silent. Several people were present, but none of them spoke. They were thinking about the future. Now that everything was rushing towards a terrible end, and nothing they did seemed to be able to prevent it, they felt a weakhey had not felt in millennia. Weakness was not their own, it was a quality that suited the creatures who worshipped them on a daily basis.
Finally, one of the figures broke the silence
"Maybe everything was wrong from the beginning. After what we did to Noral…"
Another voiterrupted him
"Is it worth talking about it now? What's done is done. Besides, Noral was a danger, even if he didn't break the ws of the universe. We didn't know what he was capable of doing if he ever decided to do so. It was necessary to eliminate him."
"Ha! Always trying to justify yourself, aren't you? Your as are always justice," said another voiot hiding his disdain.
"I'm simply telling the truth. Now we have to trate on finding a solutioy is about to be destroyed, we ot sit bad do nothing."
Silence fell over the room again. It was not that they did not want to offer ideas to solve the great problem they were fag. They had simply tried so many things and they had all failed, they were on the edge of the abyss.
"Xyra, have you been able to figure out the best way forward?"
A beautiful voice echoed through the room, answering the question.
"I am afraid it is impossible even for me to see the correswer. There are too many variables. At most we draw up a pn and put it into a first. Then we could modify it as necessary."
"But how are we going to be able to modify it if it is necessary for us to enter a vegetative state?" another voice asked with some irritation.
Xyra replied again
"We will have to turn to Ludo, only he access the universal ws to introduce a ge iime stream"
"Very well, I will tact him, we must act as soon as possible. There is not much time left. If we do not get out of the time stream, reality will colpse and we will all die"
A pessimistic atmosphere filled the room.
"We will see each ain soon, stay safe, and do not make any unnecessary movements"
Everyone present in the room nodded solemnly. Then, the figures began to disappear one by one.Finally two figures remained in the room.
"Xyra, we avoid the catastrophe that will e?"
"Right now I don't know. Holy, it makes me a little angry that there is finally something I ot know for sure and that it is this. I wish it was something more romantic"
Xyra greeted her colleague ahe room.
In the rge room, a single figure stood watg the movement of the small knots of light that revolved around her.
"The nodes are so beautiful" she thought.
Her red eyes seemed to see into the distahrough time and space. She tightly gripped her sacred staff and muttered. "I don't want to return to the void."
Boom!
A loud explosion resounded in the spider queen's cave. Luke, who had used all his strength, flew through the air and nded headfirst in the middle of the rge room that was pletely silent.
He was pletely exhausted. The berserk mode had not yet ended, but he could no longer mobilize his strength, his body had reached its limit.
The spider queen rushed into the rge cavern, her legs moving at high speed leaving behind afterimages. She was really worried, because if Luke disturbed the entity that was sleeping in this pce, both of them would suffer the sequences.
Seeing the detestable human lying motionless on the ground, the spider queen finally felt relief.At the back of the enclosure, a huge sphere covered in thick veins that were run through by spiritual energy, was in total silence.
"Great! The deity ihat co has not awakened" excimed the spider queen. Her gigantic body began to shrink, returning to her previous form, that of a beautiful and sensual bck-haired woman.
The spider queen sloroached Luke. Now that the battle was over and the human had ed all his strength, it was time to torture him to release some of the rese she had accumuted from receiving so many affronts from him.
Luke remained motionless, looking at the distant ceiling of the cave. For a moment, he thought he saw small spheres of light spinning around him, lighting up at intervals and f a web. However, this vision only sted an instant before being repced by relentless darkness.
Just when Luke was ready tn himself to a horrible death at the hands of the spider queen, a sound rang inside his mind.
*Ding*
The system s appeared before his eyes. But it was pletely dyed red, and the reason for the system alert could not be seen.
Luke felt fatigue invade him, the system s began to distort and finally disappeared before his eyes. The berserk mode had ended, and the system had shut down.
Luke wondered if now that the system had shut down, he would be reinated once more if he died. Or if on the trary, would this be the end of his secutive reinations.
He would be lying if he said that at that moment he did not feel a little fear at the uainty.
The spider queen finally arrived in front of him. A beautiful and cruel smile adorned her face. She waved her hand and several spiritual threads were shot out at high speed.However, before they could pierce Luke, the stick he had obtained as a reward for a system mission, and which was lying on the grouo him, magically stood up aed the attack of the magical beast.
The spider queen looked at the sti surprise and a feeling of danger invaded her. Something was wrong!
The stick began to vibrate and deform. Little by little it ged its structure, until it took on a human form.A small boy with violet hair and star-shaped eyes appeared in the enclosure o Luke, who was struggling to stay scious.The small boy looked around. He looked at the spider queen who was standing there, paralyzed with fear and shaking violently. He frowned and looked away at the young human who was lying on the ground, his body destroyed and his sciousness about to fade away.
"So that's why you weren't answering me. For a moment I thought you were trying to rebel!" said the boy in a solemn tone, but his childish voice made it sound funny.
He pced his hand on Luke and a bright light enveloped him.After a brief momehdrew his hand and showed an expression nation.
"I 't do much for you, the system 't be touched under any pretext, and with the power of this inplete ination I 't heal your wounds…"
The little boy began to mutter, but Luke couldn't uand what he was saying, his mind was too numb to uand.Seeing him in that state, the little boy felt great frustration.
"Aaargh, how annoying are these power seals!"
The little boy looked back at the spider queen, and his eyes seemed to light up.
"I got it, I help you at least elimihis ihat's causing you trouble. It's your enemy, right?" The boy asked happily, after having found a way to help Luke.
Obviously Luke couldn't answer him. But the boy was used to having his will done, and even if Luke had told him otherwise, once he had made a decision there was n back.
He shook his finger and the spider queen's body exploded into pieces, scattering all over the cave. The magical beast that had been the ruler of this territory for thousands of years had been annihited in an instant.
"Well, I still o give you a reward for saving my champion. As soon as you recover, I'll send it to you through the system. You trust my word, I'm known for my siy!" The boy tinued happily.
The boy walked towards the sphere at the end of the enclosure and began to hit it with the palm of his hand.
"Hey, it's time to wake up! Mmm... But you're already awake!"
The boy ied the sphere for a few moments. Then he trated all the divine energy he could mobilize and ied it into the sphere.
"For a moment I thought you had rebelled and po watch the universal warrior die without doing anything. But now I see that you are just as stupid as usual. Your divine fme is so weak that it could disappear at any moment. I would ask you what you did to get to this point of weakness, but knowing your personality, I'm sure it was something unnecessary like using your divine power to protect mortal creatures or something."
The boy with star-shaped eyes tio i divine energy until all the energy in his body was exhausted.
"This momentary ination I built doesn't have much divinity to offer, but I think it will be enough for your avatar to fun properly. The truth is that it makes me a little angry to see you in this state, you even allowed that lower-level spider to take advantage of your energy. When are you going to stop being so passionate, sister?"
The little boy finished scolding her and sighed.
The sphere that was like a co began to shine and tremble. Then cracks began to appear all over its surface, and finally a huge explosion occurred.
Luke, still ging to a st thread of sciousness, watched as the cave filled with light, then a figure emerged from within the glowing light. He had seeions of that figure in the books of the magic academy. The legendary race, a dragon.
The dragon that emerged from the light roared loudly, and the whole pce seemed to shake. Then its body shrank, until it took human form.The st thing Luke saw before losing sciousness was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even more beautiful than the queen of the Lunari, whom he could not think of without losing trol of his body.The woman was pletely naked, her white skin and perfect curves exposed without any shame. She looked at him with her red eyes, and in those eyes Luke thought he saw relief… and affe?Luke fainted before he could discover the meaning of the goddess's gaze.
Seeing the young human unscious, the dragon goddess approached him and took him in her arms. Seeing his miserable state, she felt a pain in her chest. If the boy had not already extermihe spider queen, she would have torn her apart limb by limb.
"Kaidara, I ot tinue in this pne of reality any longer, otherwise things could get plicated," said the boy solemnly.
"Don't worry Cody, I will take care of healing his wounds, you leave without worries."
"In that case I will leave, in any case do not remain in that form for a long time, if the rebels notice your return and attack you, we will not be able to help you."
"Don't worry, I know what I must do!" Kaidara responded agitatedly.
Cody saw his sister who set, the unscious universal warrior in her arms, and decided not to tierrupting the couple's reunion.
"Well, I'm leaving. "We'll see each other iure Kaidara. Don't act recklessly."
Cody left o warning a. Kaidara just nodded his head to indicate that he had heard his words.
Looking at the unscious boy, Kaidara bit her tongue causing a little blood to flow out, then brought her face closer to his and kissed him on the mouth. The young man's body began to recover at great speed.
