Chapter 97 - Chapter 98: Guardian god - Right path 

The chat seems to be frozen.

Little mortal typed,

-Mortal, the strongest :

Every mommy, I think we bitnest a molester ...

From all the wrong words, you could tell he was scared out of his wits.

Guardian God walked to the newborn, patted his head, and said,

"Good job, now go tell the others to start the operation."

The little newborn nodded and ran to the passage.

A moment later, the rest of the newborns and the small fairies came in.

The newborns were responsible for bringing the boxes and placing them in specific places,

While the fairies released the unconscious newborns inside the containers.

The cameraman was still in a corner, recording everything without speaking, but still shaking.

From when the camera view changed to the front,

No one saw him or heard him speak.

A certain group of Higher beings who recognized the familiar place in the scene couldn't wait anymore.

They all flew towards the lava sea.

From the material used in the hall and the walls, they could tell where it could be.

And especially with those fairies being so familiar with that place, it means they were working there at some points in time.

And where was the fairy's home?

Under the Sea of lava, close to the newborn's platform, in the fairy's garden.

The members of God's council were the first group to reach the lava sea.

They didn't care about anything but the man in a black robe!

The Guardian God!

The second group that arrived, which surprised the God's council members, was a group of three higher beings whose auras and faces were completely concealed.

The three unknown entities didn't even care about them and dived down towards a certain direction in the lava sea, which the members of God's council didn't remember leading to any important place.

So they separated into two groups, one group followed the three, and the other group went to the land of fairies, which Little Mortal visited some time ago.

Their best lead was the fairies and these unknown higher beings.

After they left, a third group of higher beings arrived.

They were those who followed the God council members and came here looking for spoils in the possible upcoming chaos.

If they could catch a couple of those newborns, that would be the best.

But it didn't take long before the space goddess came back, opened a passage, and hurriedly went in.

Behind her, the goddess of time came out of the lava sea and was going to go after her, but her eyes suddenly widened in shock!

A moment later, as if she felt something, her face lost color.

She hastily stretched her hands and tried to accelerate the time with all her power to close the passage that the space goddess had just opened.

But even though the passage closed in a moment, she saw that half of her hands were already gone!

She didn't even know how!

Part of her hands just disappeared!

The crowd that witnessed the scene immediately ran in different directions.

But even so, a couple of them disappeared the same way as the goddess of time's hands!

What happened just now at the other side of the passage that affects this side to this extent?

Nobody knew!

Even the goddess of time, who could see the near future, couldn't stop whatever it was, and she was caught off guard!

As if an invisible danger was lurking in the dark!

....

Not long after the murder scene, Little mortal walked out of a passage that opened under the god's arena, while the 'cameraman' was still filming the scene with newborns and the Guardian God.

The only thing with him at this moment was the space mirror.

"Little mirror, it's time.

Be ready! There is no place for error.

I even used that lucky coin, and all the treasures stopped their use of world law.

Only you and little cage are the users.

I want you to seal the area around the arena when we enter, using everything you've got!

The only one allowed to see what's going on inside is the Crystal with big sister.

And don't worry about your previous owner,

If she comes, she won't go back."

The space mirror vibrated.

Little mortal nodded,

"Alright, I won't challenge her, so she can go resurrect.

However, we need to return as soon as possible once everything is done here.

I don't know what kind of bad luck is going to happen now that I used my 'lucky coin', I need to be ready for it."

The space mirror vibrated.

Little mortal took a deep breath and muttered,

"Most of the old parasites must be lured to the lava sea by now.

It's time to execute the plan!"

Then he looked up at the arena, clenched his fist,

His eyes became cold, and he said,

"I, mortal, accept the challenge of higher beings in God's arena."

And the next moment, he was sent to the arena.

"Divine technique, judgment by age."

The six higher beings in the arena received the message that the one they were challenging had just accepted their challenge, and became alert!

And the moment they heard someone say 'judgment by age', they didn't hesitate and attacked.

Ice god, Nejord, said,

"Ice domain."

The whole arena starts freezing.

Nature god, Pan, said,

"Rise!"

All kinds of weird flowers with sharp teeth and thorns start growing from the frozen ground while a layer of ice covers them.

Sea goddess, Amphitrite,

"Sphere cage."

A giant water sphere with Little Mortal at the center appeared and froze the next moment.

God of meteorite, Hecate,

"Fall..."

Inside the sphere, giant burning asteroids appeared out of thin air and started falling on Little Mortal's head, which was being bombarded at the same time by many scary plants and sharp icicles.

The God of Disaster, Khali, and puppet master were going to make their moves and act as either support or attacker without disrupting the group attack, but something happened that halted all their actions and thoughts.

They heard a sigh, and then a young man's voice, who said,

"Expand."

None of them knew who spoke just now, because the ice sphere around Little Mortal obscured their vision, and there was no presence inside.

At the same time, they even saw in the sky above the arena a passage opened and the Space Goddess walked out of it.

But that was it.

After that, they only saw darkness.

They didn't even have time to see the absolute horror that appeared in the space goddess's face before she followed their fate.

Only the main crystal had access to the fight through the space mirror to record it, and saw what happened!

Entertainment goddess who was receiving so much law that she didn't have time to pay attention to anything around her, suddenly felt the fear coming from her own crystal and opened her eyes to see what was wrong with it.

Then she saw it was recording something in the direction of God's arena.

But...

There was nothing there!

She looked carefully to see if she was really looking at where the arena always was.

And sure enough,

"Where is the arena!?"

She tried to see what her crystal recorded just now, because it was exactly in that direction.

But she didn't have access to it...

"Let me see it!"

< ... >

Seeing the Crystal wasn't responding and was still shivering, she looked at the former arena site again.

Now, particles were slowly gathering together to form it again.

She tried to see the record forcefully, but it was locked!

Who else could take access from her except little Mortal?

She thought for a moment and then checked the gods' ranking list.

She first searched for little Mortal's name, which was still at the bottom, alive.

Then she searched for the six people at the arena,

And her eyes widened in shock.

"T-they are dead?"

Except for Puppet Master, which she couldn't see in the ranking, the names of the rest were gray!

After temporary death, a higher being's ranking would drop a considerable amount until they are resurrected.

So she saw all of them.

It means they were dead, and in the middle of resurrection now...

While puzzled, and even slightly scared,

BOOOOM

She heard a loud boom from the direction of the lava sea...

Gray names start appearing in God's ranking list!

Entertainment goddess was horrified now!

"My beloved crystal...

I beg you, tell me what's happening?

Why is everything in chaos...?

Why are so many gods dying everywhere?

I know yo-"

But she couldn't continue, because her 'beloved crystal' stuffed her 'mouth' with another big wave of law.

All from fear and Despair....

'What is happening...'

She looked at the ranking again and saw that even more names were now gray...

She understood where the converted laws were coming from this time, the gods who just died...

She looked in the direction of the Lava Sea and saw... A mushroom cloud!

...

Planet Lubo.

Silver platform.

Little mortal jumped out of the passage and said,

"Okay, little mirror, open a passage to an empty space.

It doesn't matter what bad luck is on my way; it always comes to me directly.

When I'm done with it, I need to challenge our 'future puppets'."

The space mirror was still shivering from what it saw, and how its master had just died in front of it.

But it opened a space passage obediently, and Little Mortal jumped in without hesitation.

The other side was nothing but darkness, and he, who was now floating in the empty space.

Then he signaled the mirror to close the passage.

After the passage was closed, the backpack asked what had happened just now.

All of the birth treasures saw the child Crystal here suddenly start shivering in fear, so they knew something had happened.

But before the space mirror could answer, another passage opened.

Rose walked out, and her feet hit the mirror, which was still in 'fear mode'.

"Eh !?"

She staggered forward and tried to stop herself from falling using the backpack.

Then another passage opened, and the pot and the white rat came out.

The Little white rat shouted,

"Boss, I'm back."

And the pot went straight towards the backpack.

But the pot suddenly 'saw' Rose was on its way, and changed direction, but it went towards the prison cage instead, which was still painted black, and in invisible mode!

The prison cage, which was focused on keeping the higher beings inside, couldn't react in time, and the two collided before falling to the ground.

At this moment, the white rat that had just landed beside Rose, Hero landing style, felt something and waved its small paw, slapping the prison cage that was already shaking violently and sending it flying towards the punishment stick by accident.

When the two collided, as if the prison cage 'felt' pain, it lost control for a moment, and the higher beings inside, who sensed the opportunity, struggled with all their might to escape.

The prison cage, which knew it couldn't keep all of them inside, saw only two paths in front of it!

It was forced to choose between bad and worse, and it naturally chose the lesser of the two evils.

So, it released two prisoners and kept the other two, who were more important to stabilize the situation.

Two figures appeared on the silver platform, and both roared in anger!

"MORTAL !"

The whole Lubo planet shook.

The sky turned dark.

The feeling of being 'assassinated' and being under 'oppression' filled the whole universe!

But before they can do anything,

A big black heart drilled out of the ground, opened its horrifying mouth, and sucked the air in.

Both assassin god and God of oppression turned to dry corpses in a moment, and dropped on the silver platform with faces filled with horror and despair!

Both seem to be barely alive.

The feeling of being assassinated and being under oppression disappeared the next moment after it appeared, and the feeling of being 'devoured' replaced them!

This rollercoaster of feeling stunned all of the creatures on the planet, but the negative effect was completely surpassed by the guardian territory.

The frontline effect was always activated in the background!

The big black heart was now covered in pulsing veins, and a creepy, twisted face was clearly formed on it.

The backpack and the rest of the birth treasures didn't really care about those two higher beings.

They could team up and beat them up.

At worst, the backpack could summon his former master for backup.

But the moment the big black heart with those completely black eyes and scary appearance came out and sucked them dry in a moment, as if they were level 1 creatures, the birth treasures ran in different directions without a moment of hesitation!

The backpack just swallowed Rose and ran to a passage.

What even was this thing?

It was their first time seeing the evil birth treasure of little Mortal in person!

One glance at it and they believed every nonsense he said about it, like feeding it an anti-matter bomb, was entirely true!

In a blink, the silver platform was completely empty

Only the two lifeless bodies were lying there and breathing with difficulty, while looking at the house-sized heart with eyes full of fear.

The heart, Lubo, shouted,

"MORTAL!"

And then opened a passage.

At the other side of the passage, Little Mortal was scratching his head in the middle of nowhere and seemed oblivious to everything that was happening.

He was waiting for the 'bad luck' to arrive because he used the lucky coin.

Sensing a passage open, he turned towards it to see who it was and saw Lubo on the other side, staring at him with eyes full of resentment.

First, he gasped in shock!

And Lubo, who saw the reaction, with a creepy smile, rushed inside the passage and opened its mouth wide enough to swallow him in one bite.

But then, Little mortal smiled, snorted, and punched the heart that was going to eat him.

Lubo, as fast as it rushed in, was shot back 10 times faster and went straight to the same hole from which it came out.

Little mortal swam to the passage and came back to the silver platform while mumbling,

"How did Lubo get so big?

That scared me for a moment!

Is it because of the planets it is receiving?

And why is it so scary looking, but weak?

Aren't you supposed to be stronger when you are scarier?"

Then he rubbed his chin,

"Maybe that's the price for being too scary? You lose part of your power?"

Then he patted the ground,

"Good job ignoring the world law's restrictions for a moment, but from the moment I let you out,

You didn't have a chance against me.

My level is too high for you."

The trembling voice of Lubo sounded,

"W-what level are you now?"

Just one hit, and it lost connection to 30% of the law; it just sucked from those two higher beings.

It could continue fighting, but with world law stopping it because of the deal, and this little monster's weird ability, it knew there was no chance for it to win this time...

Little mortal puffed his chest, raised his chin, smiled arrogantly, and answered,

"89."

Lubo,

"O_O"

The birth treasures who came back,

"-_-"

The scared managers who were sweating profusely,

"!!?"

Little mortal shook his head,

"Even bad luck wasn't capable of shaking my foundation.

Not even slightly..."

Then he sighed in sadness,

"I feel so lonely and indifferent standing at the peak of power..."

Rose came out of the backpack.

When she saw her little boss boasting at the mountain peak of power, she felt relieved.

"Boss, I accidentally -"

Little mortal, who was in his senior arrogant cocky mode, stopped her,

"I understand, Assistant Rose, I understand.

I already saw the past, the present, and the future..."

Rose,

"..."

You weren't even here!

Little mortal went to the two bodies on the ground and kicked them in the head.

"Alright, cube and puppet, make two more puppets for me."

Not long after, two more puppets joined the team.

Little mortal nodded,

"Little cage, take them in and let them recover the law that Lubo sucked away.

From now on, you are responsible for keeping my puppets, alright?"

The cage vibrates.

Little mortal clasped his hands together,

"Well, well, well...

It's time to go up the 'tower'.

Little crystal, listen to me carefully.

Don't mess up this time!"

The still shivering Crystal vibrates.

It was terrified, but not because of Lubo.

Instead, because of the record it just received from its main body!

The footage of the battle in God's Arena!

....

Mainland.

All those who didn't go to the lava sea, or didn't reach there as fast as the others, were looking in that direction in fear.

A big mushroom cloud was rising on the horizon.

It was thousands of kilometers away from them,

But they could see it as if it were a couple of kilometers away.

It was that big!

Many of them start checking their ranking list,

And soon they found out many names were gray.

It means they died there, and now they are being resurrected.

The members of God's council all survived the explosion and immediately gathered for an emergency meeting.

But it didn't take long for them to notice Space Goddess is missing.

God of judgment looked at the ranking and saw she was dead...

"Space goddess is resurrecting..."

The crowd was shocked.

Then they turned to the Goddess of Time, who followed her.

"Don't look at me.

I saw my future self die the moment I went through the passage she opened.

So I just tried to close it before I get myself killed.

I lost two hands in the process..."

Even now, part of her hand was missing, but it was slowly regrowing again.

God of judgment asked,

"Do you know what kind of law was the source of the attack?"

She shook her head,

"I didn't feel any law.

I just felt my hand's cells start separating..."

The crowd furrowed.

God of knowledge asked,

"Why did the two of you even leave?"

"Because of our laws.

We are both extremely sensitive when it comes to changes in space and time.

I left because I felt the whole god's arena suddenly disappeared, as if a strong artifact sealed it.

I'm sure Space Goddess sensed something even sooner than I.

That's why she got unlucky, and I was lucky to survive."

Then she asked,

"How did things go on your side?"

God of Gluttony and Goddess of Hearth and Home shook their heads,

"We almost caught two of them, but they just killed themselves without hesitation.

They were just clones."

God of power, who went to the fairy's garden, said,

"The land of fairies was empty.

And by empty, I mean only that a flat ground was left.

Everything else was gone."

Goddess of luck chuckled,

"If God of Nature weren't stuck in the arena, I would say for the whole Garden to be transported, he is the only one capable of.

But not only was he stuck in the arena at that point, he is even dead now..."

"What?"

The surprised crowd checked the ranking list and saw not even his name, but the names of the rest of them, who were in the arena, were gray.

"What's the meaning of this?

We were baited?

Or the two accidents have nothing to do with each other?"

"How did they even die?"

"Probably the attack which affected the Goddess of Time on her side, and killed the space goddess, killed them too."

"Attack with such a power to kill so many gods should be easy to sense, but why didn't we feel anything?"

Goddess of time, the only survivor who had contact with this power, shrugged,

"I didn't feel anything either; I just saw myself disappear in the near future."

The meeting hall became quiet.

Even someone as strong as space goddess was dead just like that?

Even that apocalyptic explosion in the lava sea couldn't scratch them, but one of them was actually taken care of just like that...

At this moment, goddess of punishment suddenly exclaimed,

"Eh?

Is this kid with a brain problem still streaming?"

The crowd took out their crystals,

And sure enough, the guardian god was still being recorded by the cameraman.

He was currently sitting quietly on a simple chair,

With closed eyes, and doing nothing.

They tried to rewind the video back to the scene after the death of God of life and death, to see how Little Mortal ended up there.

And they saw that the guardian god and the little newborn killed the god of life and death,

The rest of the newborns joined them and placed the boxes in certain places, while the fairies released the unconscious newborns into the containers.

After that, they left with the unconscious newborns.

The boxes on the ground in the last record were placed in a specific formation.

God of judgment said,

"If we watched a little longer..."

They indeed ignored the stream after they found out where he might be.

God of knowledge nodded,

"That's indeed the formation to connect the bombs made by God of explosion's birth treasure, to blow them up together."

"We were too confident in our power."

"What should we do now?

The last time we saw the guardian god was the time he sacrificed himself.

But he is alive now, and probably knows by now that we already saw him."

Goddess of punishment snorted,

"And that group of clones,

Who were they?

I didn't recognize even one of them.

But the God of life and death should know something.

His name is still shining in the ranking, so he was a clone too.

We can ask him about the attackers."

"I already tried to contact him, but he didn't answer."

"He is not on the mainland.

If I'm not wrong, he never set foot on the mainland from the first time he joined."

"And don't forget about the facility that was being used to extract law from newborns.

We didn't even know about its existence."

"That's because we let that old thief do whatever he wants there.

Just because most gods were scared of him stealing something from them, everyone agreed just to let him be there and steal birth treasures from newborns."

"Before the explosion, I found a place with evidence that showed the god of contract had an 'office' there.

The Old Thief was stealing the newborn's birth treasure, and the God of Contract was forcing them to sign a contract, so they wouldn't tell anybody about it.

That's why nobody knew anything about that place until now."

"What's the use of having those birth treasures?

He can't even use them..."

"He wants them for his treasure collection."

"We neglected that place too much."

"We didn't neglect it, we just didn't care about the newborns."

They became silent when the conversation reached this point.

After a while, Goddess of Punishment broke the silence,

"Oh, look!"

In Little Mortal's stream, a newborn walked in, said something to the guardian god, and showed him a crystal.

Then both of them turned their heads towards the 'cameraman' at the same time!

The cameraman appears panicked and turns around to run.

But it slowly rose from the ground, as if someone caught him and was picking him up.

The stream ended!

"He was caught!"

"Well, I think he is done for..."

"We'd better be careful ourselves.

Guardian god might still be salty about us ruining his plans and destroying his guardian association."

"Let him come then.

How much time did he lose while we were absorbing laws?

He wasn't our opponent even then, let alone now."

"I tried to contact God of explosion and ask him why he sold so many bombs and to whom he sold them.

But he said he doesn't know anything about it."

"I just saw him leave with his castle..."

"Probably running away to hide in his universe.

So many died today because of his bombs..."

God of judgment stood up,

"Let's end it here then.

While we wait for Space Goddess and the God of Contracts to resurrect, we should look for the god of Prophecy, too.

I don't know what he is doing, but it doesn't seem like a good thing.

And I hope everyone can help to investigate what happened in God's arena."

Goddess of Luck asked,

"Should we question that old thief about what he was doing with those newborns?"

The crowd shook their heads.

"That old man's law is too troublesome."

"If we get to his bad side, it will be a lot of trouble in the future."

"He is a hateful man who takes grudges over the simplest things."

"He is just pretending that way to have a reason for stealing.

I'm just surprised why he isn't out of the seal yet with that annoying birth treasure of his.

So many things happened, and he showed no reaction!"

"He even resisted the explosion..."

"Maybe because the last group of newborns were delivered to him and he already took their birth treasures, that place has no use for him."

Not long after, everyone left.

Only the Goddess of Foresight was there, sitting alone.

The scene of Mortal asking the world law about the culprits behind his planet being ravaged kept playing before her eyes.

There were nine names, including hers, in the list that world law gave him.

Only her name wasn't revealed.

And out of the nine, five names were gray in God's ranking list. The Assassin God and God of Oppression were in a fight, and the other, God of Prophecy, was engaging in suspicious activities that made no sense at all.

And now he was with the guardian god, too?

She clearly remembered the past.

The day the guardian god sacrificed himself out of the blue.

He only asked for world law to protect his guardian law and his guardians, so that they can, in turn, protect all beings.

After his death, these guardians were just protecting planets, and that was a good thing for everyone.

Better protection meant more and stronger creatures.

And that was equal to more free law for higher beings to absorb.

But years later, in several universes, those guardians suddenly went insane, and they began taking over not only planets but also solar systems and galaxies.

It was at that time that the God of prophecy came to God's council and informed them about the mess that had been made.

Many universes were suddenly in danger of non-higher beings coming and taking over.

For higher beings, this was unacceptable.

So, without being noticed by others, in fear of news about guardians and their method of taking over one territory after another becoming known to everyone, they start a secret 'clean up'.

In that era, these guardians could appear in every universe through the 'Night planet'.

And the universes with guardians suddenly start a rebellion against their higher being.

The Goddess of Foresight remembered that the guardians had given up their territory to the strongest guardian in their universe, and then all of them supported that one guardian in their rise to power, in order to grow stronger and face the higher beings.

After the higher beings saw that a 'galaxy guardian' could even fight a 'weak higher being' on equal footing because of the World law's support, they knew this mess should be stopped!

And the higher beings couldn't even enter the so-called 'guardian territory', which was in their own universe!

So, they initiate a series of actions to halt the rise of the guardians.

They secretly get rid of guardians by influencing the creatures on their planets,

They tried their best to cover and influence the guardian law to give false information as feedback.

They took over the Night planet, which was their headquarters, and could send guardians to planets that were in need of a guardian, and in the end, they destroyed their headquarters.

After all of these events, the 'Night planet', which was previously used to find planets without a guardian, became a planet for them to find the guardians and kill them before they mature.

The higher being who took over the Night Planet and the responsibility of finding guardians was none other than the God of prophecy.

The Goddess of Foresight remembered who was involved in all of this.

They were the members of God's council,

The higher beings of the invaded universes where the rebellion starts, minus two of them, which never showed up.

And some new generation gods who were oblivious of what was happening and just joined in at the end.

She always wondered how it was that those invaded universes never leaked any information about what happened to them.

Why didn't two of the higher beings even care about the guardians and allow the God of prophecy to do the cleaning for them?

And now, the same God of prophecy who was like a frontline leader back then against the guardians was working with the man who was actually the reason for all the never-ending trouble with guardian law.

She could sense a connection between all these accidents and the changes on the mainland.

But what?

And as if her line of thought was correct, her law of foresight triggered!

The next moment, her eyes rolled back, and she lost focus, and she found herself on a long road.

For her, none of this was anything weird.

Her foresight would manifest in various ways, and one of them was as follows.

She looked around at first, but didn't see any 'foresight'.

So she started walking forward on the road.

After a while, the road in front of her split into two paths.

She furrowed and looked at the left path first.

There, she saw a group of gods lining up, as if facing a great enemy.

There were even some familiar faces in the lineup.

All the members of the God's council, minus God of prophecy, plus adventure god and divine doctor, and many more, were standing on one side.

13 people in total.

In front of them was a group of 9 gods, whom she knew most of.

The old Thief, the puppet master, God of prophecy, that she didn't know why he was on the other team,

And other famous gods.

Just looking at that path gave her the feeling of despair...

Then she looked at the right path.

The extra path that, for the first time in her life, was appearing in her foresight.

It was always one path, an inevitable one.

But this time, it was two, as if she could choose between them...

She looked at the second path, but the end of it was blurry, and she couldn't see anything at all.

But this path gives her a feeling of peace, as if she could find safety there and be a watcher, and not someone on the frontline.

She looked back at the left path, and the feeling of despair came back to her again.

She turned to the unknown right path, and the feeling of peace and safety took over.

She could clearly see that if she chose a path, that path would be inevitable for her.

"For the first time in my life, I can actually choose between two paths?"

She couldn't believe what she was seeing, and couldn't help but hesitate.

All of the strong gods were on the left path that led to her doom, and the right path led to peace.

She couldn't understand what else was left to be on the right path with all of the big shots already on the left path?

But in the end, she bit her lips, trusted her feelings, and walked to the right and unknown path leading to 'Peace'.

As she got closer to the end, she felt it was harder to walk forward.

She knew what was trying to stop her was the law of fate itself.

The only law that no higher being mastered,

And 'world law' kept 'independent'.

But she couldn't lose this opportunity, and to use it, she needed to see a clue at least.

The clue on the left path was clear to her.

'Stay with God's council.'

But the right path was blurry, and as she walked deeper, even the fog seemed to make it harder for her to see what lay at the end.

But she didn't give up, and kept going and going,

Until finally, the fog disappeared, or maybe she walked out of it.

What she saw at this moment was only an image that shattered in her vision the next moment, and her foresight came to an end.

As if coming out of the water,

Goddess of foresight took a long breath and came back to her senses.

She looked around and saw herself back in the familiar meeting hall.

When she touched her face, she felt warm blood streaming from her eyes.

But the blood wasn't the only thing on her face; there was a smile on her face, too.

Smile...

She muttered to herself,

"Now that I think about it,

after my foresight of the disaster originated from Mortal's incomplete universe,

I never smiled again...

I was always stressed for an unknown reason."

Then she waved her hand, and a picture manifested in front of her.

The last and only thing she saw at the end of the 'right' path.

In the picture, there was a group of people.

They were sitting in a row of chairs, watching a big screen in front of them.

On the screen was the same scene she saw on the left path.

The two groups of gods are facing each other.

The only thing different was her, who was missing from the group this time.

Now, she was sitting among the crowd of people watching the screen.

There were a bunch of little kids there, too, who had the aura of higher beings.

At one glance, she knew they were newborns, and some of them were familiar.

In the front row, which seemed to be 'important people's row', she saw more higher beings that she didn't recognize at all.

One peculiar one caught her attention.

Red dress, black hair, and white eyes.

To her left was a lady in a brown dress, whom she could tell from her aura was a turtle in her true form.

She was a higher being, too.

And to the left of the turtle was another lady in a blue robe, who knew it was a robe reserved only for Planet's manager; surprisingly, she was a higher being too!

A manager who was a higher being?

How was that even possible?

But while many things didn't make sense to her, what made her smile was the seat to the right of the girl in a red dress.

There was an empty silver chair there,

And from its size, you could tell it was a seat for a toddler.

But what made it special was the gaze of the people.

The girl in the red dress was looking at it with eyes full of trust and admiration.

The newborns and the rest of the people who weren't looking at the screen were looking in the direction of the chair with fear or respect.

And she herself was pointing at the empty chair while looking back at her past self, smiling with confidence.

That's why she was smiling now.

An empty chair that everyone, and even she, was pointing at could only belong to one person.

Or to be exact, the owner was already sitting on his chair, but he was invisible in her foresight.

Who could this invisible presence be, if not the only person that even fate didn't want to, or couldn't show in her foresight...

The one and only invisible boy of the Mainland, Mortal the lawless!
