Chapter 103: Fate of this world
“But soon, I will make you crawl before me.”
Sylvanus said the last line in a very low voice; no one was able to hear what he said at all.
Then the owner of the golden hand spoke again with it’s same haughty and ancient tone,
“More than a thousand years have passed now. Do you think you, who has been kept as a prisoner, are stronger than me? I am in my path of perfecting my domain now, someone like you who can’t even handle it correctly thinks that you can defeat me, such foolishness. Now, your playtime is over; come back to the prison now, or I shall kill you for sure right now.”
Sylvanus didn’t say a word and kept staring in the direction of the hand, but deep inside he was sneering and thought,
‘If he wanted he could have killed me that time, but killing a god isn’t possible normally. I have to think of a way soon; otherwise, even after freeing myself, I can’t kill them all.’
Then the golden hand descended upon Sylvanus. The mere presence of the golden hand shifted the flow of the stars and planets around it. The already chaotic state of the solar system was thrown into even more chaos.
The hand caught Sylvanus and was about to go back when the same ancient and old voice sounded again,
“Your aura was so weak that I almost ignored you two. Was he here for you two?”
The voice asked, but Nova wasn’t able to utter anything under that terrifying might that it was emanating.
Then it spoke again as if he became intrigued,
“That body… Ah, so you have returned. It’s been ages now. So the forgotten hell was shaken and finally was made to awake because of you. I will be waiting for you in the God-realm; don’t make me wait too long, old friend.”
Saying that the golden hand disappeared from there, and the might it held also disappeared.
Nova was finally able to move; her heart was still filled with anger, and now it turned into regret; she wasn’t able to kill him.
But she swore in her heart to not let him escape next time.
‘You won’t be able to escape from me next time.’
She then went near Evan and held him gently in her embrace. Evan was still motionless, but his mind wasn’t.

“Evan, do you wonder how all these stars and planets were formed?”
A woman with a charming and gentle smile asked a little boy who seemed to be 5 years old. It was none other than Evan when he was little, and the woman… you will find that out in my other novel.
Evan’s puppy-like eyes looked at her and asked with innocence.
“Aren’t they our grandparents who look after us when the night scares us, Mother?”
The woman simply smiled at his innocent answer ruffled his grey hair and said,
“All of these stars you see show a past that no one remembers any longer. A major battle between a mother and her child… this world is doomed to fall, Evan. You might not understand it now, but when the time comes, you will become a major factor in deciding the fate of this world.”
Evan looked at her with puzzlement not understanding what she was saying at all.
The woman continued to speak while looking at the sky, but at the same time, she seemed to be looking through space and time itself and was looking at the future that turned into a forgotten past.
“Remember, Evan, all of the other beings were created by creation to live in this existence, but you are someone who is out of this creation; you are made to keep this existence alive. You won’t remember this conversation until the time is right, but when you remember this, he would have been born already and I might not be with you at that point. With the thing that is inside you, it might get difficult for you to control your emotions, but stay cool-headed, okay? Mother has great faith in you. And help that poor child as well, she has been through a lot, though she won’t show it ever.”
She gently looked at Evan and said with a serene smile.
Even though Evan didn’t understand anything he still smiled innocently and said, “You can count on me, mother. I will make you proud.”

Inside Evan’s mind space.
[Host, wake up!! Dammit, don’t die on me. Seems I don’t have a choice any longer.]
Then, a figure emerged out of the systems screen, its whole body wasn’t visible, but it was making a silhouette of a woman.
Then, a similar robotic sound was heard inside Evan’s mind space similar to the one that came from the tower.
[Warning!!! The strength of the system holder isn’t enough to make the familiar appear in its physical form. This process might endanger the system holder.]
But then, the figure turned towards the system screen and lifted her hand, from which a strange energy came out that stopped its warning.
[It has been detected that the familiar wants to help the system holder. You do not have the authority to do something like that.]
“Use my energy for now, I can’t afford to lose him. He is similar to my people; even though I wasn’t able to save them, I can at least do it for him.”
She said with a sweet and feminine voice.
[But why do you wish to do that?]
“Mothers told me to look for someone whose fate you cannot see; when I find someone like that, then I should realize that he is the one, one of the keys that will unlock a path for this existence, either to the light of prosperity or the darkness of destruction.”
[What if he will lead towards darkness?]
“Then that’s the fate of this world. I have already lost everything, so some more won’t hurt me now. Let me see what way this key will lead us.”
She then placed her hand on Evan’s forehead, and soon after, the same light once again came out of her hand and covered Evan’s entire body and began to heal it.
She then pulled her hand away from Evan and went inside the system screen again.
Soon after she went inside, Evan began to gain consciousness. He abruptly opened his eyes and yelled,
“Mother!!”
Then feeling he was in the embrace of someone else, he turned his head to look at the person and found Nova, who was looking at him with a strange glint in her eyes.
Evan then, turned around to see where Sylvanus was, but he found nothing, literally nothing around him.
‘Where is he? Did he die? I don’t think so, my attack was nowhere near enough to kill him, so where is he? And why do I not feel anything below me, am I in space?’
He thought to himself. Then Nova spoke pretending to be hurt,
“You have seen me after so long and the first thing you say after meeting me is ‘mother’? You are hurting my feelings, you know. You need to compensate for that, so I get to sleep with you for two whole nights.”
But Evan didn’t listen to her for now because, using his perception, he just found out…
‘There is no Earth? How did this happen?’

Thanks for reading everyone.
I hope you liked this chapter; I revealed a few things in this one, and let me clarify right now, I don’t have any hopes of including the woman Evan mentioned as a mother in his harem; that’s not gonna happen.
Well, there’s nothing much to say for today; comment down what you liked and keep on supporting me, it’s been a while without any gifts… you know what I mean right?
And read my other work, you will have to in the end if you finish this novel, so it’s better if you do it now and show your love there as well.
Stay tuned for more…
