Act like a Fool, Shine like a Star! Act Two!

Chapter 57: Before you die.

In the boundless expanse of the cosmos, where the fabric of reality shimmered with the dance of celestial energies, an ominous presence began to manifest. It was the advent of the Ancient One, a being of immeasurable power and inscrutable intentions.

Theo, the God of Time, and the Titan, a colossal figure embodying immense power, stood on the edge of the universe. They had set up their domain in this ethereal realm, untouched by the passage of time, and now they felt a cosmic disturbance that sent shivers through the very fabric of existence.

The stars themselves seemed to dim as the Ancient One's arrival drew near, as if the cosmos itself recognized the imminent threat. The very essence of time and space quivered with a sense of foreboding, as if it understood that something of cosmic significance was about to transpire.

A palpable silence fell over the void, and the cosmic currents stilled. The stars held their breath, and even the timeless realm where Theo and the Titan resided seemed to hang in anticipation. The Ancient One's presence was not merely intimidating; it was a cosmic disturbance that transcended the bounds of reality.

As the Ancient One's arrival grew closer, a subtle yet undeniable pressure bore down upon Theo and the Titan. Their immortal essence quivered in the face of this malevolent force, a force that seemed to challenge the very laws of existence.

Theo's voice, usually filled with a quiet confidence, was tinged with unease. "The Ancient One's power is unlike anything we've faced before. It's as if he wields the very force of creation itself."

The Titan, nodded solemnly. "The universe itself recognizes his presence. We must be prepared for a confrontation of cosmic proportions." Even though the Titan is the same kind of the Ancient One, his presence couldn't rival that of the Ancient One. Something that makes the Titan mad every time he thinks of it.

A surge of temporal energy rippled through the void as the Ancient One's form began to coalesce. It was a silhouette of pure darkness, a shroud that seemed to devour the very light around it. The cosmic winds whispered of his malevolence, and the very fabric of reality seemed to quiver at his approach.

The Ancient One's voice, a chilling resonance that sent tremors through the timeless realm, spoke with an eerie calmness. "You dare to challenge me, Theo, the God of Time, and you, the Titan, ancient and powerful. I am the force of creation, the harbinger of cosmic change, and I will not be thwarted."

Theo and the Titan exchanged a wary glance, their resolve tested by the overwhelming presence of the Ancient One. They knew that this confrontation would be unlike any they had faced before, and the very fate of the universe hung in the balance.

The Ancient One's form began to shift and contort, as if he were tapping into the very essence of creation itself. The stars, once dimmed, now blazed with an eerie light, and the cosmic winds howled in protest.

Theo's voice held a note of urgency as he addressed the Titan. "We must stand together, for the Ancient One's power is not to be underestimated. He threatens to unravel the very fabric of existence."

The Titan's eyes blazed with determination as he prepared to confront this cosmic adversary. "We shall stand as a force of balance, and we shall challenge the Ancient One's dominance. The universe itself cries out for equilibrium."

Just as they prepared to confront the Ancient One, an ominous rumble echoed through the celestial expanse. It was a sound that transcended time and space, a cosmic resonance that sent shivers through the very fabric of reality.

Suddenly, from the cosmic mists, a legion of otherworldly beings began to materialize. They emerged with an eerie synchrony, as if they were an extension of the Ancient One's will. The army that surrounded Theo and the Titan was a vast, otherworldly force, their forms shrouded in darkness and their eyes glowing with malevolence.

Silence befalls them both, The Ancient One army prepared their weapons and wait for the command of the Ancient One.

Theo looked around so quickly that no one is able to notice him taking a glance of the situation. 'This is interesting. As far as my eyes can see, the entirety of the space around us is filled wit his Army... Each personnel of his army is in the same level as the gods. Not to mention, the strongest of the combatant gods...'

"So, what's the plan now, Theo?" Asked Titan while he looked amused on the sight of Theo's smiling face.

"Do what you want, Titan. All I'm doing right now is buying time for my own army to reach my spot. The distance between my planet and the edge of time we're standing on is pretty far. It would take them a few days before they can reach me."

"Do what I want? Well then. I'll wait and see what you can do and then only help you if you really need it."

"I don't need your help. Do what you want." Theo said annoyed. But behind those annoyance look, he is smiling big. The moment he wanted to appear, is going to appear sooner than later... But, in order to get to that time, he needed to survive the Ancient One attack.

'It seems like the Ancient One are not going to directly attack me. Because the Titan is here... So, I'm free to thin out a lot of his army before he felt that he needed to take charge on attacking me.'

'Savor these last moment before you two die. When you do die, do not hold me back and just be my power. That's your fate the moment I was brought into this universe!'

With that, Theo take one step forward, indicating that he is not afraid and are ready to fight. To which, the Ancient One's army responded with preparing their own weaponry. Most of them hold an energy weapon that cannot be physically block. So Theo is not in the best type of situation. However, he's also not the type of person that doesn't have any plan...

He spread his arms and then welcomed everyone to attack him. "Then, let's begin. The m******e!"
