Chapter 1230: A Trickier Bit



"At least she didn't throw us back into that dreadful pit," Replicus said as soon as he, Elita Red Rage, Yuyui and his Hybrid Luman body had exited Suzamete's domain. They had all been transported to a run-down village with no signs of life.

Yuyui breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad to be far from the dreadfully powerful presence of the Deitess of the Skies.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Elita turned to Replicus who still needed the support of Red Rage to stand.

"I remember you having a wanton tongue, but I didn't think it would be the same even in the presence of Deities," she said. Before Replicus could argue against her point, however, she clarified. "Don't get me wrong. I don't think too highly of Deities either, well, anymore, but I didn't think you would be so careless in front of one who made the world you currently dwell in."

Replicus scoffed.

"You'd be unsavoury to Suzamete too if you knew what she's done in your absence," he said, once again recalling the time when Actuass dragged him into the Deitess' domain. He didn't take kindly to that memory.

"I'd like to hear all about it," Elita said with her hands on her waist.

"I'm sure you would."

Replicus then looked up and around him. He focused far into the distance, trying to determine something beyond Feinheath.

'I guess she must have used those servants of hers to fix them,' he thought. He was, of course, talking about the vast, gaping dark spaces Skullius had made on Aigas using the Spirit of Drowning where the Rules were eaten away. He turned his gaze away.

Now he was looking at the two other timelines plastered like stiff drapes onto the current Aigas. There was no activity from them as of yet, which was a relief, but it probably wouldn't remain like this for long.

Even though Suzamete had emphasised haste, Replicus had asked her a few crucial questions regarding the predicament she wanted him and Elita to solve. The Deitess had given adequate answers.

Replicus had wanted to know what kind of experts could break through from their timelines to begin with. He had gathered on his own that experts with time-related affinities and abilities could probably move around the timelines freely, but he was sure that even those that didn't could perhaps have other means to do so.

<It's as you say.> Suzamete had answered. <Those with affinities with time will likely be free to wander, but Transcendent and Beyond the Veil Stagers will also be able to come through. Both have the ability to imbue their bodies with their Territories, and that is all they really need to shatter through the complex obstacles that bar time travel. Nitros is a form of Divine energy, and refining it into an Imaginary GeoScape and donning it like a second skin - as Transcendents and beyond can do - is not too different to what you are capable of using your unusual concept. The one that renders you immune to change, I mean.>

"Go and find out if Theurien and Silrat survived. All the survivors I teleported away shouldn't be too far from each other," the Progeny said heavily. "Regardless of what you find, come back here within two minutes."

"At once!" Red Rage declared with a salute and took off into the skies.

Elita didn't ask about the Apostle's destination or mission. She knew she'd be filled in soon

enough.

"Where are we going to go after he returns? Do you have some kind of headquarters?" she

asked.

"You could call it that. Though I'm not sure I can confidently call it mine yet," Replicus

replied.

Right then, there was a flash of light in front of the two and a curious pair appeared.

One was a blonde man of average height with a lute strapped behind his back and the other was a tall, dashing man with long dark hair.

Yuyui's eyes immediately sparkled at the sight of them, though the same couldn't be said about Replicus and Elita. They both stacked their guard.

"Please, be at ease. We are not your enemies," Erlton said while raising his hands. Soidon beside him did the same, though he gave the Warmoth's Progeny a deeply wary look.

"Who are you?" Replicus asked.

Erlton gave him a sharp, appraising gaze.

"Someone who had the wrong idea while watching you fight," he answered.
