Chapter 45: A Backing.
1065 Words
Theo sat alone at the end of time, perched on a throne of fractured realities. His power over time was unmatched, his existence an enigma even to the cosmic beings who traversed the vast expanse of the universe. The darkness of the void surrounded him, broken only by the distant twinkling of dying stars. He had watched civilizations rise and fall, galaxies collide, and entropy consume all things. But he had always remained, a constant in a world of chaos.
As he contemplated the eons that had passed, a slow, sardonic smile crept across Theo's face. He knew that the cosmic beings, like the Ancient One, were on the move. They were gathering their power to initiate the Universe Reset, an event that had been prophesied since the dawn of time. It was a grand cycle that reset the universe's clockwork, erasing all existence and starting anew.
For most beings, the Universe Reset was a dreaded event, a moment of annihilation and rebirth. But for Theo, it was a source of endless amusement. He had watched the cosmic beings go through this routine countless times, and each time, their desperation to maintain the cosmic balance was a spectacle he savored.
The Ancient One, with its vast wisdom and power, was the leader of this cosmic endeavor. It marshaled the cosmic forces, gathered the ancient artifacts, and prepared for the inevitable. But Theo knew that even the Ancient One had its limits, and it needed the cooperation of other cosmic beings to succeed.
And that's where Theo's true delight lay. He had a secret ally, a being on the same level as the Ancient One, a force that opposed the cosmic balance, and reveled in the chaos of existence—the Titan.
The Titan was a being of immense power, shrouded in mystery. It did not seek to preserve the cosmic balance but rather to disrupt it, to challenge the very foundation of the universe. And it had chosen Theo as its champion, its instrument of chaos in the cosmic dance.
As Theo pondered the impending Universe Reset, he felt the presence of the Titan resonate within him. It whispered to him in ancient tongues, a symphony of chaos that only he could comprehend. Its power surged through him, giving him an exhilarating sense of purpose.
"You see, my dear Ancient One," Theo murmured to himself, his voice echoing through the void, "your precious Universe Reset will not go as planned this time. The Titan has chosen me, and together, we will show the cosmos the beauty of chaos."
Theo extended his hand, and a ripple in the fabric of space-time formed before him. It revealed a swirling vortex, a gateway to the Titan's realm. With a confident stride, Theo stepped through the portal, leaving behind the end of time.
In the Titan's realm, reality was a fluid, shifting landscape of possibilities. Time and space bent to its will, and Theo felt the exhilaration of unbounded power. He could see the Titan's presence, a colossal figure wreathed in cosmic fire, its eyes burning with a chaotic intensity.
"You have come, Theo," the Titan's voice boomed, shaking the very foundations of existence.
"I am here, as always," Theo replied, his tone filled with reverence and defiance. "The Ancient One and its allies prepare for the Universe Reset. They think they can maintain their precious balance, but they underestimate us."
The Titan's laughter was a thunderous cacophony that echoed through the cosmos. "Balance is an illusion, Theo. It is the chaos that gives meaning to existence. Together, we shall disrupt their plans and usher in an era of glorious disorder."
Theo nodded in agreement, and the two cosmic beings began to weave their intricate plans. They would sow seeds of discord among the cosmic forces, create rifts in the very fabric of reality, and challenge the Ancient One's authority.
As they plotted, Theo felt a rush of exhilaration. He was no longer a mere observer of the cosmic dance but an active participant. With the Titan by his side, he would defy the cosmic order, challenge the very foundations of the universe, and revel in the chaos that would ensue.
In the distance, the cosmic beings continued their preparations for the Universe Reset, unaware of the impending storm. But Theo knew that their grand design was about to collide with the forces of chaos, and the universe would never be the same again.
Theo and the Titan, two cosmic forces bound by their shared desire for chaos, stood united against the impending reset. As they gazed out into the endless expanse of the cosmos, they knew that their time had come. It was a time for upheaval, a time for disruption, and a time for chaos to reign supreme.
Meanwhile, in the Vacation home...
Lavi met up with the rest of his Wives and they immediately greeted him happily "Welcome back, Lavi!" They didn't really think there's anything that's different with the usual Lavi. But they can feel something is about to happen because Lavi doesn't reply to their greeting...
"Listen up, my dearests. I have something to talk about and it's not going to be pretty. So, everyone take a seat and listen well to what I have to say!" After taking a proper position in the middle of the room, he told everyone that and immediately, they did what Lavi told them to.
Because they know that Lavi had a discussion with Bianca in Shireno not too long ago, they assume that there was some correlation to this. And they would be correct.
"... I have received a vision from ultimately the Gods creator, it was called the Ancient One. They told me that we have 3 months to stop Theo before they start their advance toward the Universe Reset..." Lavi explained the situation with a grim look, he then continued on "Even if we do stop Theo within 3 months, we also need to stop the Ancient One and other Ancient beings so that the Universe Reset didn't happen..."
Suddenly, everyone understand why Lavi made such a grim look. No one said a word for 3 minutes, They just look at each other trying to understand everything on a larger scale... Lavi understood that and let them understand before they made their mind...
He gave them 5 minutes before he wanted to hear their thoughts...
