There was a gong, and a flash of panic appeared on Twilight’s face. It would be the sixth gong. She said that alarm signaled a day had passed. King Diorite had said that in seven days, he’d ignite my soul and attack the darkness. That meant that in seven days, my soul would be destroyed, and it was hard to say what would happen to Twilight. We only had one alarm left, and then the day of the attack would come.
“This is how Gaia was able to defeat me. Even we worlds have our limitations. Gaia streamlines the process by dragging your soul into a blender. She doesn’t run countless lore as I do. Thus, her processing speed is faster. In other words, time for you all moves faster than time for me. That’s why we must hurry.”
I licked my lips. I still didn’t know what I should do, but sitting around and doing nothing seemed like a bad idea.
“Okay, what do you want?”
Twilight’s expression finally relaxed. “I’ve come to you because you’re the only one who can help me. The world I created wasn’t just there to show you how happy your life can be with me, but it was also there to explain to you how we can escape our current predicament.”
“You mean... calling my soul?”
“Just like that.” She responded.
“And what happens after? What happens after I summon my soul?” I demanded.
“I’ll absorb it.” She responded. “And you’ll live out the rest of your existence in peace and happiness. Garnet and... the other one will join you. So will the rest of your girls, in time.”
“How can I trust that?”
“I’m not lying to you.” She responded. “The reason I waited so long was that I wished to show you my sincerity. However, if you do not choose this option, then your fate is sealed. Accept my lore, call your soul, and strip my enemy of his counterattack. Let him rot away to time as he was meant to.”
What choice should I make. I didn’t know what other option to choose. I bit my lip and nodded.
“Okay.”
