54 Birth of Balance

Year 4 Gods Era

Teressa has long since faded from our sights, we know of her location but can not reach it anymore.

Wave after wave of created beings from her darkest nightmares rush at us, unafraid of dying while being fearless combatant's these are our opponents. Most of the True Gods after finding out they would permanently die fled the battle, leaving me and the few truly powerful True Gods to fight this war yet I notice they do not have any interest in this fight. They only fight to polish their own skills testing their abilities to their limits becoming even stronger, at the same time those Abominations changed the first wave had intelligence now they are mindless, killing even their own.

The majority of the enemy fights the True Gods forcing the fleeing ones to run further away, while the stronger ones stay to tie me down fearing I would kill Teressa. If they left me alone I would only protect the True Gods but I guess that is not possible now, surrounded by them they try their best to end my life but how could these weak beings match up to me.

Year 5 Gods Era

They are getting stronger the more I kill the stronger Teressa makes the next batch, she is doing all this unconsciously making me tempted to kill her. I do not wish to end my only friends life so I fight the waves hoping time will cure her insanity, she should know I am good at waiting even now I wait for my master to awaken. The sad thing that she will wake up to is these monsters ended the lives of every mortal race that barely survived the True Gods war.

Year 6 Gods Era

I am starting to feel that she can only regain her sanity if I kill everything she has created but they are now forcing me to use my power. Once I revealed my true power the ones chasing the True Gods retreated to deal with me, especially after I began to move towards Teressa. I can no longer keep count the number of them that I have killed I focus only on reaching Teressa, the True Gods who tested themselves left me when the ones keeping them here moved to deal with me.

Year 7 Gods Era

After 200 hundred trillion years I have finally reached the area Teressa is located, surrounding her are the first few she created long ago. They guard her from the others as it seems that after losing their minds like their creator they only seek to destroy, the waves push me back and confine me I can no longer move forward no matter how hard I try. Fighting for my life is all that is left for me to do, as I fight I try to convince her protectors to aid me in wiping out their brethren. Their response shocks me it appears I looked down on Teressa's ability to create life, they have agreed with me and know the only way to save her is for everything she created when she broke down to die including them.

This is their goal to help Teressa regain her sanity, fighting here for so long I notice that they are like me Guardians. How did she create so many is my first thought but who cares about that now, their plan is to protect her until the others kill themselves and when they are the only ones left they will all die for Teressa. The one to ensure this plan will be accomplished is the leader among them with bright red eyes, being surrounded this is the only thing I can make out of their figure being my vision is filled with that of my enemies.

Year 8 Gods Era

I can Feel the life force of True Gods dying one after another, this is a bad sign True Gods growth rate is higher than these creatures for that I am sure. Their fear of permanent death has driven the weak True Gods to an early death while the strong have emerged, now only the strongest True Gods remain knowing that fleeing only leads them to death they rejoin the war.

After fighting so long against these monsters we have given them the name of Creed, Teressa being at the core of their nest will be a challenge to reach. The True Gods have reached me after a long time after they help me escape from my containment we regrouped, the only things alive being the Creed and the True Gods making this the final stand against the Creed. We have been fighting the Creed for so long that they have regained some of their lost intelligence, still they remain no smarter than simple beast we know the longer this goes on the worst it will be for us.

Year 9 Gods Era

As time goes on they grow stronger and smarter no longer is their stupidity allowing us the freedom to bombard them with wide spread area attacks killing billions in the blink of an eye. We have noticed that we have been pushed back so much that we now have our back against the endless Void, some of the remaining True Gods suggest we abandon existence and enter the Void. A few have already been inside the Void and after returning they informed the others of a bigger threat, that 'threat' being my master who still to this day slumbers.

During the talks many bring up the fact that I was once considered a Guardian the older True Gods have never forgotten this fact, they just did not care to share the secrets they knew with others. When they connected the link between this still sleeping True God and me they became terrified, considering me a threat on the level of the Creed. While we were busy arguing about me being alive the Creed arrived at us for the final battle, with things as they stood we all knew this was the Creed giving it their all while having a fall back if they failed. But this was the end for us if we failed to repel them much less kill enough of them for us to rush towards Teressa.

Year 10 Gods Era

No longer caring about why my God has yet to awaken and how I managed to live this long and being stronger than them, the True Gods and I focus our full attention on the Creed. We have pushed back 'many' waves throughout the years enough to notice mass cannibalism among the Creed, as they can not kill and eat the True Gods they began to feast on each other. We saw this as a sign that we were soon going to win as long as we outlasted them, yet we found out something more terrifying. They have been hiding their trump cards well these monsters, the ones who killed True Gods gained that Gods memories and abilities but if their mind was to weak they would be taken over by that True God.

This revelation was both good and bad for us, we learned that other True Gods who have taken over the bodies of the Creed were somewhere out there fighting hopefully making their way towards us. At the same time the Creed have begun feasting on their own sharing this new found power gained from the fallen True Gods who failed to take over the Creed that killed their true body, this is the beginning of our end I know it and the True Gods besides me know it too.

Year 11 Gods Era

Even if it is our end we have fought them nonetheless, just as we expected there was indeed a few who now have the bodies of the Creed. From hundreds of trillions to a few million this is the great race that was called the True Gods was reduced to, as we fight our last fight within the Void we are pushed towards extinction. The only living things that will remain after our fall is the Creed, as I begin to accept death, in front of me the Creed brings down his blade with all his might.

Waiting for death to envelop me and bring me to meet my Creator for the first time, the long wait makes me snap open my eyes.

The Creed, True Gods and myself all witness the Void itself collapse being completely absorbed into the body of the child in front of me, without words I know who this is.

"Dashnell my God welcome! I am Crest your Guardian at last I have finally completed my mission. Forgive me for not being able to protect you from the Creed."

As he holds the blade in his hand the blood from the cut heals returning from the wound the cut created, the Creed then puts more force behind his attack but he is unable to wound Dashnell like before. He then retreats, as he appears a thousand feet away he looks down to notice both his hands still attached to the sword that Dashnell still holds.

"I am here to kill you all, as I am the one who bring about the end!" Said Dashnell as he appears next to the Creed whose body drops to the ground headless.

We all look at him in horror the Creed he just killed was the trump card they had that countered me completely, yet he died in such a simply way. The Creed look at the fallen body on the ground laughing as they expect him to get up fully enraged at being made a fool by the newly awakened True God, after waiting for more than ten minutes we all know he will never get up again.

"Is this a ability he has, he stopped both regeneration and killed the Creed General I considered unkillable." My thoughts being said out loud by my master does nothing to calm my beating heart, he then begins to walk forward killing every Creed in sight. In his hand the pitch black sword the Creed General used against me, becomes drenched in the blood of the other Creed as they rush at him unafraid of death if it is to come.
