Chapter 1003 Fragment

The three couldn't believe what they just heard from Almira. It was a sudden revelation which is why the three were shocked after hearing it. Queen Tanya has a little idea about Almira's real identity but after the confirmation, it was now clear as day for her.

"You heard everything correctly. I am one of the fragments that the Goddess of Death divided from herself to ensure that she will be able to fulfill what she failed to do during her time as a goddess. I am one of the shards that became a human version of her that still has the power of the former goddess of death. It's a minor magic and it is enough for me to use basic ones at that allowing me to understand the limitation of having less magic."

"What about the others? Since you said you are a fragment, that must mean there are other parts of her, right?" Izmir asked.

"Indeed. However, I am not sure who and where they are right now. The only thing I know is that the main body or in other words, the original body is currently residing in a realm, protecting and recovering all of the wounds that the main body sustained during the Primordial wars."

"How long have you known this? Based on how you act around the mention of the Goddess of Death, you looked like you are fine with discussing it."

"I have known this since the very beginning. After all, I still have all the memories of the original. You can say that I was born again with all of my memories intact but with my powers gone. It has been like that since the previous loops of this world."

Queen Tanya frowned and looked at Almira with a confused look on her face. "What do you mean previous loops?"

"Oh yeah...I forgot that you all have no idea about the previous regressions of this world and how many times it has been reset. But yes, it has been undergoing several resets and loops on multiple occasions. Every loop caused the world to return to the way it was before everything occurred. But the future progressed differently before."

"Everything has been undergoing this cycle until it reached the final loop which is this current timeline we have."

"Final loop...then that means there is no more possibility for us to reset the timeline and fix everything again?" Manato's Mother asked.

"The place...is somewhere that we have found before but due to the restrictions, even I couldn't enter it. But since Manato had a small reaction to it before, he has the potential and he is the one we can rely on for this task.?He needed to be the one who would get the material we needed for him to revive everyone. As for us, our only task is to remain here and keep an eye on the condition of everyone who died. But for now, our only choice right now is to heal Manato and undertake the task of doing this once he is awake."

Everyone turned to look at Manato sleeping quietly as his wounds were being healed. His breathing is slow but they are steady. He might have suffered severe wounds but he will survive. One thing is for sure, his journey has yet to end.

Nobuhiko glanced at the Goddess of Life now currently on her soul form. She is currently healing after suffering some wounds from the attacks that her sister inflicted on her during the conflict and to acquire the power of the Tree of Life.

"So you are saying that we have to wait another month again to return to that tree?" Nobuhiko asked.

"The Altar of the Life present at the very top of the Tree of Life is broken and will take approximately 1 month before it will return to its former glory. Until then, we can't do anything. And without it, healing my injuries will also take some time. That accursed sister of mine...even when she became a human, she still managed to injure me like this..." The Goddess of Life couldn't hide her anger.

"Goddess, I know you must feel frustrated but how about we get rid of them right now? Since you killed many of their people in one go, shouldn't we be fine killing them all while they are down?"

"Ha, if even myself can't defeat my sister, then even your helpers won't even be capable of fighting that monstrosity that is my sister. She is in a league of her own. If not for the curse that I gave her back when we were still kids, then she would be killing me now. I am fortunate that I made her get those curses or else, I am a goner by now."

As the two are currently discussing things, Janus listens on the side. Although he is not sure what the goddess said, he clearly heard that she killed most of the allies of Manato which means some people have died in the process when fighting against the Goddess of Life. He clenches his fist, not knowing what to do. Although he betrayed his friends to serve the Goddess of Life, this is not part of what he had in mind. He wasn't on board in killing his friends for this sort of job at all.

But what can he do? He is only a young man without anything that can influence his actions and even if he tries to defy the goddess, there is only death awaiting for him. He is torn in this choice but there is nothing much he can do about it. The only thing he can do after hearing this news is to lament and despair, knowing that he also contributed to their deaths.
