Chapter 110 Past Memories: Time & Space III
"Dear, you're not thinking straight... He's Caroline's partner... they all... they will all marry him... you had your fun, you played to be his mother and even engaged in the most debauched of taboos... I-I don't care, alright? I forgive you... I will let them all live, just come back to me, I'm sorry... we're EQUAL now." Toki despaired, all he wanted was his wife to be back, he didn't want to end like this mortal King.
"We're not Equal." She answered deterministically.
"..."
"Time and Space are no longer equal, Toki. They will never be again."
"W-What do you mean...?"
"What I mean is that I don't want Time anymore... I'm in love with him... please, Toki. Find someone else... let's separate." She begged, this was the man she once loved, they were born together billions of years ago as one, eventually forming into two different egos that lived together for posterity, creating this universe... but things had changed. All she hoped was that he would understand.
But he wouldn't... because it wasn't only she that had changed, Toki too had changed.
"Are you out of your mind, Nova!? We're space and time! If we separate the universe can't work properly!"He couldn't believe what he was hearing, every second that passed he wanted nothing more than to kill this man and erase those children, how dare they exist? they weren't only Isabella... it was brief, bereft of power, but it was there, those are her children, Nova's children with someone else, even though he hadn't gotten that far with 'her'.
Jealousy was eating his majestic being.
"I don't care about the universe as much as you expect me to... I can keep this little corner of the universe safe for my children to live in, my beloveds, my daughters, I don't need you Toki... we were one once, you have control over my space laws, I have control over your time laws, we don't need to be together."
The more Toki listened to her begging, how this proud goddess bent her head down for the sake of this affair, the shadow in his heart was merely growing in strength.
"Nova... e-everything for that human... I will kill him and your children! I WILL KILL THEM!" He was losing control and he began walking forward.
But Nova didn't panic, she couldn't do anything, this is the body of Isabella, a mortal and although her soul is still that of a primordial goddess, allowing her to use her faith to control space, there is no way she can face Toki.
Still, Nova was still a goddess, and upon seeing the threat fall on her most important people, it was as if whatever emotion there was; went into a deep slumber and only coldness remained.
Her eyes lost light.
"If you dare do so much as to move a step closer Toki..."
"What? The current you are powerless, I can kill them and stop this nonsense that you're doing, I can kill him too, here, in all timelines... I was already lenient enough to allow a mortal to have my daughters, but this? no... Nova, you're mine and I'm yours, a mortal won't be able to change this" His laughter turned maniacal, this was how low the former proud God had gone after experiencing what a mortal is.
"Listen well, I can't stop you... but regardless of what you do, my memories will go to the future, to my true self, back to the timeline I come from and overall to my entire spatial being across dimensions... and I swear... I'll slaughter your entire Time Realm to the last Valkyrie... I'll wash it in blood... and obliterate you and the entire Universe in the process."
"..." He grits his teeth as she pointed her accusatory and cold finger towards his entire being, she was shaking with so much wrath.
"Toki... don't you dare... touch my dear son... don't you dare... touch my dear children... my family... don't you dare touch Dragoncrest... I swear I will end you... even if it is the last thing I do before the universe crumbles, don't test me... I'm not the same." Nova was sobbing, she didn't want to reach that stage, she hoped this man would just retreat, how much she desired Constantine would just open his eyes and be strong enough to protect them, but... he was still just a mortal, this wasn't a foe either of them could face right now.
All she could do was send threats and hope for the best, there was only a single individual she could count on in this timeline, but that person shouldn't appear.
Alas, she underestimated herself.
"You don't get to decide that, you're space, you belong to me!" Toki wasn't going to retreat, threats wouldn't deter him from erasing those that dared to plunder what belonged to him.
He immediately released a shockwave, a mere wave, a speck of dust of his power would be enough, but someone was there to protect Isabella.
*RUMBLE!!*
*BAANG!!!*
*COUGH!*
Two shockwaves clashed, cracking the entire space around this town, thankfully, the babies and Isabella had been protected but the latter still spat a mouthful of blood while Loki looked to the front in disbelief where another lady appeared.
"Retreat, Toki."
It was this Timeline's Nova, a lady with a dress like a nebulous and hair like the sun itself. The Primordial Goddess of Space, in the flesh.
"Nova, dear... you have to make her reason." Seeing her, Toki's entire self shivered, this is the true Nova, almost equal in power to him, in fact... she's stronger; he believed he could make her reason, however.
"Toki, retreat... I won't say it again... I'm still upset with you and don't want to see your filthy face, so disappear from my sight... or would you like me to leap back in time... just so I can kill that whore? an eye for an eye." The woman's gaze was neutral except when she talked about this 'whore'.
