Chapter 121 :death
Creation spoke.
"Listen carefully."
"Because once you hear this "
"Nothing will remain the same."
Silence followed her words.
Heavy and Deep.
Then Creation speak calmly,
"And before I start "
She looked at Celestia.
"Celestia, you can call me mother-in-law."
"I do not mind."
Celestia's eyes lit up.
A bright smile appeared on her face.
"Thank you."
She said with excitement.
Creation nodded slightly.
"Nowz first."
"You all know that Ank is not a god like me."
"Yes."
All answered in unison.
"But "
Creation paused.
Her gaze deepened.
"You were all surprised when you learned that Ank is my biological child."
She placed her hand on her chest.
"He was born from my womb."
Shock appeared on their faces again.
Even though they had heard it before
Hearing it again made it feel more real.
More unbelievable.
"And yet "
Creation continued.
"He is not a god."
"That is because of one incident."
She stopped.
Her expression turned slightly serious.
"I cannot tell you about it now."
"But in the future "
"Ank himself will tell you."
Silence.
Curiosity filled their minds.
But no one interrupted.
Creation continued.
"Now "
"I will ask you a question first."
"Then I will begin the story."
She looked at all of them.
"So, are you ready?"
All nodded.
Without hesitation.
Creation spoke again.
"If I tell you "
"That Ank has limited time "
"What?!"
All of them shouted at once.
Their voices interrupted Creation.
Their expressions changed instantly.
Shock.
Fear.
Disbelief.
"Relax."
Creation raised her hand slightly.
"All of you."
"Listen to me completely then react."
They went silent again.
But their hearts were racing.
"I mean "
Creation continued slowly.
"Ank's life will attract trouble."
"So much trouble that you cannot even imagine."
Her voice became heavier.
"Living with him means constant danger."
"Powerful beings "
"Beings that have surpassed even me "
"And other gods "
"Will come to kill him."
Silence.
Their expressions stiffened.
"If you accept him "
Creation looked at each of them.
"Your life will be connected to his life."
"And your life "
"Will also be in danger."
A pause.
Then she asked again.
"So ,do you all agree with this?"
Silence.
For a moment.
Then.
"Yes."
All of them answered together.
Without hesitation.
Without fear.
"I do not care about this."
Maya stepped forward.
Her eyes filled with determination.
"Even if I die "
"I want to live with him."
Her voice was steady.
Confident.
Celestia smiled.
"I also cannot leave Ank."
"Even if I have to face danger."
Her voice was full of energy.
Full of life.
Seraphina stepped forward slightly.
"I will also protect Ank "
Her voice slowed.
"Even if I have to…"
"See, Freya?"
Celestia interrupted playfully.
"What Seraphina is trying to say?"
Seraphina froze.
"No, I did not mean.."
Celestia smiled.
"Relax."
"I was just teasing."
The tension eased slightly.
But only slightly.
Because one person
Had not answered yet.
Freya.
She was still silent.
Still thinking.
Creation noticed this.
"So Freya."
She spoke softly.
"What is your opinion?"
Freya slowly lifted her head.
Her gaze moved toward Ank.
He was still unconscious.
Lying on a small cloud.
Soft.
Floating.
Creation had created it to support him.
Freya stared at him for a few seconds.
Then spoke.
"I will protect him."
Her voice was calm.
But firm.
"I will become stronger."
"And if we lose "
"I will die first."
Silence.
Her words echoed.
"Ank's enemy "
"Will be my enemy."
She stepped forward.
"I will live with him forever."
Her eyes were steady.
"Even death "
"Cannot separate me."
Creation watched her.
Silently.
Then smiled.
A deep
Satisfied smile.
Far Far away.
Beyond the universe.
In a place where even gods do not exist.
A figure stood.
Cloaked in darkness.
Her entire body was covered with darkness.
Only one thing is visible
.
A scythe.
Held in her right hand.
Silent.
Cold.
Terrifying.
No one in the universe had seen her face.
No one had the courage.
Gods.
Mortals.
Immortals.
All feared her.
She had many names.
Goddess of Final Silence.
Goddess of End.
Goddess of Darkness.
But one name
Made the entire universe tremble.
Goddess of Death.
She was death itself.
She watched everything.
Freya's words.
Creation's expression.
Ank lying unconscious.
She watched it all.
And smiled.
A cold
Emotionless
Evil smile.
"I have to kill Ank."
Her voice echoed.
Soft but deadly.
"As soon as possible."
Her grip on the scythe tightened.
"Before he becomes a threat again.
"
Her eyes narrowed.
"In the past I was powerless in front of him."
Her voice became colder.
"But now "
"Ank is weak."
"Fragile."
"This is the perfect chance."
She took a step forward.
Space distorted.
"I will erase him from the universe."
She made her decision.
Final and Absolute decision that no one changes.
But something was strange.
The universe did not stop her.
She paused.
Her eyes narrowed
.
"Why?"
"Why is the universe not stopping me?"
Silence.
No
answer.
She frowned slightly.
But then.
She ignored it.
"It does not matter."
"My target is Ank."
She continued moving.
Toward Duskwild.
Unaware of what the universe had already planned.
Now
Two beings Freya Who wanted to protect Ank and Death who wanted to kill him.
Both moving toward the same point.
Both are unaware that the universe had already made its move.
And neither of them were ready, especially Freya.
