"They are two races from another world. That is going to invade this world." It sounded like a grave situation.
"Oh, is that so?" Theus didn't sound concerned about them, as he could just drop an event horizon at them with proper preparation.
"You don't sound worried at all... Do you believe you can fight them?" Aponia raised her eyebrows.
"No, not at all. I'm probably the strongest as the side from Great Red." He did drop-kick Ophis in a fight.
"Great Red had been guarding the dimension gap over the years to prevent them from getting to this world."
"But after recently... There was a frequent emergence of individuals that manage to get inside this world." Theus thought that she was referring to: People who got Reincarnated like him, Outer God minions, and the Loucha guy who casually travels between dimensions.
"Do you know how they are?" He asked.
"I don't know... I can't see their future." She looked at him cautiously, as if she knew that he was one of the outsiders.
"So what will you do now?" He asked.
"I don't know..." She looked down and prayed to who knows who.
Theus at first planned to make her his last Mutated Pawn, but erased that idea as he needed someone better to fill his Rook, Knight, and lastly, his queen piece, which he is having trouble what or who he planned to get.
"I see... For someone who sees the future, you seem to do minimal, even if you have that brainwashing powers." Theus just sighed as he stood up to leave.
"What do you know..." She muttered as Theus left.
She had tried changing the future in the past, but her attempts to change the future only backfired as the result would seem to bear even more consequences making it worse in the process.
Only she knew that nothing would change the inevitable, as this ability of her to see the future is merely a curse for her to bear. As said by a certain long-haired blonde young man whom she encountered in the past.
...
-?? years ago-
<Aponia pov>
"Why are you doing this?" The blonde young man questioned my actions on mind-controlling these people to fight against the invaders, and that included the one before her.
"Because I want to protect this world. I don't want it to be laid waste in Evie and Etoulde's war." I said.
"You see the future and yet you don't even realize that your action only makes it worse." He sighed as he waved his hand at the people that I had manipulated to join me.
"What-?"
"You constantly lose in your inner fight, because your followers aren't genuine action. But you just force your goal onto them, even if they don't want to partake in it. You're just merely making them as a pawn, just like how Evie and Etoulde order their men to kill lives."
"Draconic Deus had already become a messy world and is already akin to a lostbelt, after the previous owner abandoned it, and now the dragon gods are the ones managing it." He sighed as if he knew the previous owner and became regretful.
"What's so wrong about protecting this world? That you a self-proclaimed guardian, even stopped me!?"
"I stopped you because your attempts are futile. The thing you're doing is nothing more than playing with human lives. And you're just justifying your absurd actions all in the name of protecting this world, that you don't even belong." What he said was true, my previous world was destroyed by higher beings and so I took refuge in this world since it welcomed my existence.
"And besides that, if I have to be honest? You're weak Miss Aponia. A leader who thinks lightly of other people's lives is unworthy to lead the masses." He said in a soft tone like he had experienced it before.
"So go back and let it happen. Someday there will be someone who will defend this world... After all, everything is already perfectly decided." The blond man said before everything around me turned white, and I found myself back in Draconic Deus.
"Is everything I did meaningless in the end? Why do I even have this power if I can't even change anything?" I started to question my origin, I was born to protect people, and yet. I took their freedom in the process and led them to die...
...
-Back to present-
-The Ritual Temple-
"Arggg. Damn it." Tezcatlipoca's body started to slowly merge back together, after being blown up by Regulus Corneas.
"That bitch seemed to be alive too..." He looked at where the otherworlder Amaterasu was supposed to be impaled.
"Tsk. Those guys had bizarre power systems..." Before looking behind him he felt uneasy, finding nothing.
"I should've taken countermeasures, though I haven't expected them to rebel against my Titlacauan."
"Huh-?" Tezcatlipoca immediately looked behind him as he was instantly met with a hug from an unknown individual.
"Who-!!!??" Tezcatlipoca started to panic as the person was starting to merge himself with him.
"It's been a while since I've walked against the ground. I am Kars, one of the pillar men. I have been floating around the outer space for an indefinite time. So I must thank you for giving me a chance to walk on the world." Kars hugged him tightly as the weakened Tezcatlipoca was starting to be absorbed into his body.
"UNHAND MEEE!!!" Tezcatlipoca screeched as half of his body was already absorbed along with his authorities. His black smoke didn't even affect the bodybuilder the slightest.
"DAMN YOU SCUMM!" Those were his last words.
"You should be honored to become one with the ultimate lifeforms to ever exist in the world." He posed as he fully absorbed the entirety of the Aztec God.
"Hmmm... What an interesting world I've found myself in." His arms turned into wings as he flew towards the top of the ancient Aztec temple.
"The horizon is as same the previous world as that I was in." Kars smiled while he demonstrated the sun authority he got after absorbing Tezcatlipoca, Kars posed over the sun just like when we first conquered the sun in his previous world.
"It's a shame that I couldn't share to bask in the warmth of the sun with Wammu and Esidisi." He said as he transformed into an eagle and flew to find civilization.
-Ice land-
"Huh?" Regulus recently annihilated Hexennacht, a branch faction from the Khaos Brigade that is led by Walburga.
"Why did you attack us out of nowhere!? We weren't even our target." Walburga said weakly as she was under Regulus' foot.
"Hmph, you were the ones who found trouble for me. Since that's the case, you and your goons have to face the consequence of violating my rights." He scoffed, the reason he killed them all was that they accidentally bumped into him, and because of that he started to kill all those magicians, but after killing one, more had come just to be killed by him.
A scream could be heard as one of the magicians who had his entire left arm severed, charged a bullet magic towards Regulus.
"AAAAAAAAAAAA DIEEE BASTARDDD!!" As soon as the magician fired it to Regulus it immediately was slapped away by him, as it traveled 20x times the speed back to him.
"A." It was the last word of the magician before he immediately disappeared, after earning a frown from Regulus.
"How uncivilized magician." He looked at the sliced-up magicians around the field.
"*cough* *cough* So strong..." Walburga tried using her Longinus Incenerate Anthem, against Regulus but was immediately blown away by him with a single wave of his hand.
"Tsk, here I was about to give you another chance to live since you had an interesting ability. But it seems like you wasted it." Regulus stated as he stomped her body, as it caused the ground to crumble killing the witch of purple flames.
