163 A Lonely Farewell (1/2)

With Ignaas fleeing from this battle many felt bitter in how things were set up against them, no matter which side they choose today they would suffer. This was not what many of them wanted, their Creations were doing their best to improve the moods of their Gods.

Nala and Istina rushed out after the battle, heading straight for the young child who sat atop his tail.

Nala has seen this many times before and so has Istina this habit of his, as the youth turns his head towards the two he greets them with a slight nod.

”I will spare those 5 and their Creations only, everyone else will die today you can work out what happens after they are reborn as I don't care what becomes of them so long as they never become a problem for me again.”

These words were heard by every God of Creation and it made their skin crawl, once they thought of how they were of so little threat to someone so young looking, this child like monster gave them nothing but fright.

They wanted to interject and speak but were too afraid to even get close to the youth, Nala looked at her kind who were usually high and mighty stare at a her Creation with such fear.

It was like this when she awakened the Affinity of Destruction, she was feeling the pressure to do something to make things right but did not know of a method that would make everyone present satisfied.

Ghost one of the oldest of the Gods of Creation who did not seem fearful of Dashnell or Ignaas moved forward and so did the other 4 spared Gods of Creation.

As they did Istina looked over worried, until young Dashnell gave her a pat on the head.

”What happened to the always wild and murderous Verena I know so well? Or should I call you by the name you took when we were young and growing up on Veddet. I have always felt that I knew you better than I should have and after meeting my (Past) self I now know who you are.

I don't have much 'Time' left to remain here, I must return to my (own time) soon.”

As he finished his words everyone could see the youth's body disintegrating out of existence, his entire body was glowing as his right hand started to fade away and at the same time visibly heal.

They could see that the natural laws were trying to get rid of him and force him back to wherever he came from.

Both Nala and Istina did not understand, they were sure this was the youngest form of Dashnell not his future self, it did not make sense to them as they have already been to the future.

Everyone also looked over at Istina in shock, they learned that she lived 3 lives and in each chased after this youth before them, Nala was the most shocked and annoyed at this revelation.

She looked over at Istina who tried to hide her face. ”We will talk about this later you... You thief.”

Nala then turned to Dashnell who was resisting the Natural law and even suppressing it as he remained seated on his tail and looking at the Gods of Creation.

Before she could question him he spoke again already knowing she wanted answers.

”I exist inside the Void. As the Void, because I am the Void.

My time is different than yours the me you know is my past present and future self.

These events have already happened for me I am just here to change how it turns out, that is why Ignaas has gained such powers once again.

He is going to be stronger but that means nothing to me, I will always be able to suppress him if he tries anything, at least he will now be more behaved with Ignaas as his main personality.

You don't have to look at me like that, 'I am nothing but a fake version of the final product'.”

Hearing these words Nala fell backwards and stared at Dashnell as tears flooded down her beautiful face, Istina felt a pain in her chest as she and Nala both knew this was the only time they would ever see this version of Dashnell and his days ahead would be one of solitude.

The Gods of Creation did not understand nor did they try to create any noise as their fates might change so long as Nala orders the youth to spare them.

Ghost on the other hand wanted more information and spoke up.

”When you kill the Gods of Creation here what will happen to their Power and Affinities? Who will claim all that power as their own?”

This was on the minds of all the Gods present they wanted to know who would absorb their powers upon death, the only thing they heard was the youth speaking in a emotionless tone towards Ghost.

”No one will absorb their power, or I could let it be absorbed by you 5 Ancient Gods of Creation.

If the Gods of Creation do not want that I could even give their power to their Creations or when they are reborn it can be sent to them so long as they pass a trial of mine.

All these options are available for you, Nala set them up with Istina's help I just sped up the process and looked into the future to see what they wanted to do.

As I said before I want to handle these things before I return seeing as this is my last one.

After today I can't use it to leave the Void anymore and must stay there and guard the Gate.”

They wanted to let the youth keep talking but Nala embraced the child alongside Istina and the two wept as they held him in their arms.
