Lv1 Skeleton - Chapter 145

Chapter 145

“I’m a bit worried about you . ”

“It’s fine, I never expected to win outright anyways . ”

I gave her a half hearted smile .

Metatron began healing before my very eyes .

I could see Metatron’s smile as his body was restored to its peak condition .

“Old God, you are cruel to create a magic spell which can suppress my abilities . ”

“It isn’t that much of a handicap since you still have mind control and your Space Time abilities . ”

“Fine, despite this not being a fair bet, I shall follow the course of history which you have provided me, but aside from that I will retain my free will .

“Good, then I shall accept this contract with you . ”

“Yes, I will likewise see this promise of mine through to the end . ”

Shoong

Metatron disappeared in order to fulfill his scripted actions which were based of the mythology Lena handed over . It was basically a timeline for the next 13 . 3 billion years or so .

“Do I truly need to go to war now?”

“In this universe yes, but worry not there are far more universes than you can imagine . According to our calculation, there could have been a margin of error of one billion on Machina’s end .

“Well… sure in this universe, but we don’t know how many planets there are .

“Right, but there are so many worlds under Machina’s influence that the odds are on your side . ”

“Okay, then just follow my plan”

“Then wouldn’t there be a risk of Johra’s existence disappearing?”

“No, I’ll return . That has already been set in stone . ”

“I can’t understand why it is you make so many of these personal sacrifices in order to maintain that future of yours . ”

“Perhaps one day you will also think the same way Lena . For now, begin the preparations . ”

“Yes . ”

Lena along with Machina prepared a large magic array . It had an unprecedented size, boasting a 2 km diameter, looking like one of those giant satellites from the movies .

I was essentially broadcasting myself to all the existing universes and dimensions . In order to prevent the destruction of all the universes .

Why did I make this choice?

It was my chance to prove wrong Metatron’s accusations of me being nothing but trash .

I chose to become the force which would move these universes forward .

Of course, all this was only made possible due to the Sephiroth network which Machina had created . It acted like a TV network, as it diffused my intent across space . I was willing to remake the universe and fight against my very own destiny .

Purrrrrrrr

A large number of rings lit up around me .

“What’s going on Lena?”

“You can’t leave me behind since we are already one . ”

“Why?”

“I’m still curious about the self-sacrifice you are committing, so I will continue to tag along .

“You… . ”

“It’s fine . Although it may take some time, I’m confident the Johra will return, and you’ll also be able to receive Machina’s help . ”

“Okay… with your help I should be able to accomplish my goals more easily . ”

“Standing by, 3…2…1…”

The enormous array was activated and enshrouded me in bright blue lights .

“Guess I will continue my mission to grow and expand to new horizons . ”

“Yes! And I’ll be counting on you, Lena!”

Shortly after I disappeared along with the blinding light as my very existence was divided and scattered across the universes, I fell into darkness .

I couldn’t see nor use any of my five senses . Simply drifting across space like an insignificant speck of dust .

Chomp!”

‘What?’

When I finally gained consciousness, it felt like being born for the first time .

‘Has everything to this point been a dream?’

“It seems that this is the origin point of time . ”

“Lena?”

Chomp!

I tried to talk with her but only the clamping of my jaws was heard .

“Oh… Johra you’re back . It seems that you can’t talk yet, but it’s fine since I working on a communication system with Machina . Just relax since you might be a bit confused and disoriented right now . ”

Chomp!

I once again tried to speak but no words came out .

“You may not remember entirely, but you sacrificed yourself in order to prevent the destruction of all the universes . You’ve been asleep this entire time, until finally returning to the origin of time itself . ”

‘Was the origin of time really when I became a skeleton soldier? The very beginning of everything?’

I was doubtful but had no way to voice my opinion .

Chiiiiic

Feeling some burning sensation in the back of my neck, I once again heard Lena’s voice .

“Try to focus on projecting your thoughts through the vibrations in your bones . ”

“Uh… does it work?”

I felt my own voice ringing throughout my body .

“We are communicating through the conduction of your body, it seems to be working fine . For now Johra you need to follow the flow of history, so please get up and follow them . ”

“Oh… right . ”

I got up and trudged along, following the dozens of other skeleton soldiers just like myself .

“Lena, I know what happens to me next, do I still need to go?”

“Yes, it would be best to follow the events as closely as possible, until a certain breakpoint occurs . ”

“A breakpoint in the flow of history?”

“Ah, along with this new body you’ve lost a lot of your memories, fortunately I’ve saved everything in the Sephiros network . I’ve also noted all the instances where your decisions may have affected the stability of the future . For now just listen as you walk . ”

“Oh… I see . ”

I heard the grinding of bones all around me .

“I’ve come to the conclusion that these divergences or breakpoints are opportune moments to prevent the end of the universe . If history were to change, then perhaps that ideal chance wouldn’t exist anymore . ”

“So when does this special breakpoint arrive?”

Suddenly I heard people crying in the distance .

“Gillian, I told you we should have brought a priest over!”

“Don’t you know how hard it is to find a priest these days?”

“Oh never mind, the skeletons are already here, please hold them off a while, I hope this magic will be effective against them . ”

“Block your ears!”

“Fire Elemental heed my call! Rafflema strike!”

I saw a large fireball crash into the line of skeletons before me, resulting in a shockwave which sent me flying back .

“I guess I have no choice but to fall with the rest of them . ”

“Actually you are already falling… UUUgg

I lost consciousness in that deep dark pit .
