2 Chapter 2: Whishes (2/2)
His words shocked the goddess as she could quickly understand what he wanted to do, but then thinking about bringing that colossus of a body to the void she couldn't help but lament her fate, searching for some hope she wanted to confirm if that was really his first wish. ”Are you completely sure you want to use your first wish for that.”, and with a nod, Alex shattered the goddesses hopes into a thousand pieces.
The goddess braced herself for this momentous task, Azfius's physics had reached the realm of the high god, if not for it not being able to resist the goddess would never have been able to move it, it was very much the same as her trying to force another high god. With a shout, she released her divine energy, more and more power poured out of her and after who knows how long a colossal white gate opened and from the gate fell Azfius's body, still in the same pose as when Alex's soul left it. The white gate closed after the body arrived and the goddess breathed out, as she fell down a beautiful chair appearing to catch her. Her face was pale and she was sweating.
Alex not paying any attention to the goddess quickly went towards his old body and entered it with his soul. As the goddess had said he had killed himself from the inside at that time but what he actually just did was sever his soul from the body. Now that he was a soul and with the body being so powerful that not even time can corrode it all he had to do was reconnect to the body, that was exactly what he did.
The goddess having taken some time to catch her breath found that she couldn't see Alex anymore, she started standing up to look for him only to be pushed back into her seat by a mighty and heavy ancient aura, cracks started appearing around Azfius as the stone that had appeared around him because of time started loosening and breaking apart and with that Azfius's aura broke free.
The goddess Yris would normally not have been affected by this aura but now having spent more than eighty percent of her power at once to bring the body here she could not resist it and felt suffocated a feeling she had not felt in a long time. Luckily Alex realized this quickly and retracted his aura until nothing remained. He looked at the goddess with a guilty expression and spoke ”Sorry about that”, his voice boomed into the surrounding causing the black void to twist under its might.
The goddess glared at Alex, as she shouted,” Well you got what you wanted, now what!”. ”Hang on a minute,” Alex replied as a white glow surrounded him and with a flash, the colossus disappeared and was replaced with his original appearance and size. The goddess looked at him flabbergasted and couldn't help but ask ”How, How did you do that”, Alex smiled at her and replied, ”The body might be strong but it had been dormant for ages, its defenses had gone down with the addition of me the owner taking control before rehabilitating the body a made some changes using my knowledge of draconic transformations. Although it was a pain and what I'm talking about probably sounds like bullshit that's how it is. I also took the liberty of making this body be able to switch between the abilities and appearances of my previous lives just to fuck with reason.” Alex's answer left the goddess speechless.
It took some time but the goddess finally calmed herself down and while reclining in her seat she asked in an annoyed voice ”So, what's the second wish”.
”I want a house in Kuoh town, nothing fancy but also nothing terrible just an ordinary house,” Alex answered. The goddess thought for a second and then agreed, ”Ok, and I'll also throw in some cash, it should be enough for you to live lavishly for the next three thousand years”
Alex was visibly moved by the bonus and smiled at the goddess as thanks, now he didn't have to waste a wish on money. Now there was only one thing bothering him. ”Say, at what part of the timeline will I be entering the world.” The goddess thought for a while and said well if nothing changes it should be about a year before the protagonist's birth.”
”That's fine, then for my last wish, I want all my weapons and armor of my previous lives.” Alex said as he opened up a rift in space wit his magic, ”You can just dump it in here.” said Alex.
After granting the last wish the goddess approached Alex. ”Well, this is it, I hope you have a wonderful time, bye”
”Oh by the way where wi....” before Alex could finish asking where he will appear the goddess slapped and with a bang he flew into a light gate and disappeared.
”That's what you get for making me bring that titan's corps here, humph” the goddess pouted as she saw Alex disappear into the light gate.
