Chapter 1181: Boron's Rise (2)



For what felt like an eternity, long after the world stopped quaking, there was a deafening silence as the two Deities, both inhabiting vessels, stared intently at each other. There was a greedy desire exploding unseen between them. Both seemed content simply drinking the other's presence, however hidden it was by the suits of mortals.

It was only when a quarter of an hour passed that Boron drew closer to Suzamete, and his massive hand was extended towards her.

Gracefully, Suzamete floated onto his palm and sat on it without breaking her gaze on him.

<I thought you would be a lot more furious with me?>

Her voice wasn't quite as profound as Boron's but it was clear and unnatural still.

<With you? No, my dearest. My rage is only for our companions; for what they decided. You couldn't have done anything against them if you tried. Not back then. The current you, however, is certainly a lot more competent... I think.>

Suzamete wore a smile and then broke into a fit of laughter.

<I'm glad to hear it - both your praise and your understanding, that is. I never would have imagined that is the first thing you'd say to me.>

Boron gave an amused sigh. Suzamete hugged her legs.

<I've had enough time to grow since they left. Perhaps I've grown more than even I realise. But still... this world has been difficult to manage on my own.>

<I can only dream of the hardship. My own confined prison cannot even be compared to all you've had to handle up here; all THEIR business.> Boron did a sweep of the world as he spoke. <Cowards, those two. They were so determined to run from me that they let left you with all of this?>

Suzamete gave a weak laugh.

<You know that's not true, my love. Not entirely anyway.>

<What did they hope to achieve by leaving you alone here? Did they think that would change how I feel about this world? That I wouldn't unleash my children on Aigas still?>

Suzamete's visage grew stiff.

A crude, dull light in her eyes immediately displayed her conflicting thoughts.

Boron noticed.

Suzamete's power to directly influence events on Aigas was much more limited than that of Quintess and Listafelle. She couldn't have used a vessel as frail as the one she was using now to defeat Caxellac. Replicus' presence had been liberating. Only after he beat Caxellac did she destroy the Rules he had damaged and repair the split world.

Boron nodded with what might have been sympathy.

<You were brave, my dearest. Acting accordingly in the situation you were in marks you as a true Deity. I am proud. Killing off the past is a strength many look down upon. You did well to

move forward.>

Suzamete gave a sad smile.

<Yeah.>

A few more minutes passed in silence.

<If there isn't anything else you care for on this world, it should make what needs to be done easier. I cannot wait any longer. Allow me to do what I need to do and then you and I can start

anew elsewhere.>

Suzamete gave Boron an odd look. Something was hidden in her eyes - desperation.

She stood up.

<Can you hold off for a little while?>

<Why?> Boron asked suspiciously.

Suzamete looked below.

<I'm sure you will appreciate this after having been locked in the Under for so long without a more... fulfilling source of entertainment.>

<Hmmm?> Boron was confused.

A shallow smile appeared on Suzamete's face.

<What might as well be the greatest battle to ever grace the surface of Aigas is about to take place. At least, let it be etched onto this world before you have your way with it. Let's watch together. I give you my word... how it ends will be even more spectacular.>
