New Beginnings

Diablo was just staring at the old man eyes drowning with tears of joy and a laughter that would think he had just won the lottery.

"who else knows of this information?" Diablo asked sternly.

"Ah! you need not worry about that. The Gods that have been working on this...project were the few beings with supreme understandings of the knowledge and wisdom needed to transcend the spiritual realm: Mimir, Athena and Odin".

"The rest were the few Gods and Goddesses that have power over fates and destinies , hmm... i suppose in mortals tongue it would be the analogy of the nurses to the Doctors you could say: Aion, Ananke, Chronos (a Protogenos, not to be confused with the Titan, Cronus), Heimarmene, Horae, Kairos, MoiraiAtropos ,Clotho, Lachesis and Moros".

Diablo stared intently waiting for more until Apollo noticed this and added. " Ah! of course they all swore loyalty to the cause of this universe being destroyed, by you and your wife young one."

"Why would they do that?"

"Because we have lived long enough, we've become too full on the highs and lows of Godhood , we wish for it to end."

"Then what is the reason for saving my child as well if you would go so far to destroy every single creature on this plane even the women and children, why would you save mine?"

It was quiet for a little while before Apollo finally heaved a deep rumbling sigh that sounded as shaky almost anxious as Apollo's expression turned from stagnant to grim.

"Young one. Has it happens all the gods are still quite selfish at heart. The very ones who have preached of wanting to end Godhood for the good of everyone.... the very 'higher beings in lab coats' that have been backing our research to time travel through space and time since the dawn of the first star being born till now , refuses to give up their knowledge without passing it on to a successor, one that has the support of a strong bloodline to fully utilis-.....No to fully manifest all their knowledge and strength over and see what would become of the child and the next generation after it".

"This has been decreed by all Gods and Goddesses that have been in favour of operation X codename 'Finis divinitatis'!" Apollo said with a fury that could even burn a bottomless ocean.

Diablo looked at the old man with disbelief clearly visible in his eyes. He has had enough of listening to the old fool.

"Are you crazy! you think i would let my unborn baby go through that much pain of knowing so much from young? the whole point to being young is not being privy to such pain! you would be killing my child filling it with information like that!!" Diablo spat with aggression however Apollo wasn't fazed in fact he seemed to be expecting this type of reaction.

"Young one, it will do you well to remember we are Gods and even if we aren't all born with knowledge we learn it quicker than any other race. Of course we know that would happen that's why when your child reaches of age and he meets the criteria the spell would then awaken and take affect".

"What spell?"

" A system".

"A system?".

" To make your child the strongest. It would allow him to choose whatever race he wants to evolve into. It will allow him to gain experience through fighting making him indestructible. skills, abilities.. everything we Gods have learnt will pass down to him and anyone he chooses to change as well. Since building a family will also be a part of his journey to reaching Godhood".

Diablo again dumbstruck, he wasn't able to say a word the only thing that came to mind was the fact he wouldn't be able to his baby girl or boy ever again after being born. Apollo noticed this and consoled Diablo. "young one, i know this must be very hard for you but i'm afraid your family just wasn't meant to be. Not in this world. But on the next your child could become a king with everyone kneeling at his feet. A true deity".

This seemed to be the final push Diablo needed because right after Apollo finished speaking Diablo stood up, looked at Apollo and said "Then lets start as soon as possible, Charlotte is about to give birth soon"

Apollo quickly got off the chair his old bones almost coming through his skin walked towards Diablo" Very well. Let us go and see the new beginning of your family story eh?"

And with that they both set off back to the cabin. Once they arrived they both saw Charlotte reading quietly on the bed.

"I'm home my love". Diablo announced lovingly.

"welcome back dear". Charlotte said back the same way. Then she noticed the elderly man behind her husband and said "who might this be?"

Apollo took this opportunity to bow slightly and respond " It is a great honour to make your acquaintance Queen Charlotte of the Cross Household, this old one is called Apollo, God of healing".

Charlotte wasn't surprised at the this instead she seemed to change her form and portray a mature dignified look.

" what does the God of healing want from me?"

Then Apollo started to explain the story again except unlike Diablo who kept asking questions every five minutes, Charlotte was completely silent only looking down at her now 8 month pregnant belly and rubbing her hand gingerly across it every so often.

"Okay" is all Charlotte said after Apollo was finished.

"Okay? so your agreeing to the Gods terms Charlotte?" Diablo questioned.

"Dear, this was going to happen one way or another. We both knew something was bound to happen, but i guess we both didn't account for it to happen to our child..." Charlotte seemed to be on the verge of tears but held them back.

"Just please make sure he gets to live a good life wherever he ends up going at least" Charlotte said barely keeping her voice from choking up.

" We promise. Your child will live alongside the richest and will be surrounded by everything he would ever want." Apollo said wholeheartedly.

With that, Charlotte's stomach started to hurt. It was time for the delivery and luckily there was a Goddess of childbirth Apollo knew of to help with the delivery. it took several hours of screaming and pushing but finally a crying baby was heard.

Alongside an uncontrollable amount of mana bursting from it, a dark purple and red. The mana as if screaming from within.

The magic had nowhere else to go other than upwards and so it did and shot straight through the ceiling of the cabin turning the top into ashen dust while the huge snake of purple kept slithering and devouring the clouds upwards towards the stars and finally it cracked open its jaw and bit through the sky splitting a tear through the skin it in the process.

Then as if judgement day arrived...

....a huge gaping eye could now be seen shattering the clear glass of reality and through it Billions of creatures were seen flying through.

"It has begun".
