Chapter 313 - Alfonso's Will Power Awakens!
"I… afraid of… death?" Said Dionisius.
"Remember this, Dionisius" Said Demeter while she lifted her leg
*PUM*
Demeter kicked Dionisius.
"GODS DON'T FEAR DEATH"
"AHH"
Demeter ran towards Dionisius once more.
"GODS DON'T FEEL REMORSE!"
"AHH"
Demeter kicked Dionisius once more.
"GODS DON'T LOSE TO A HUMAN!"
"AHHHH!"
Demeter kicked harder this time and Dionisius fly out, crashing in the wall.
"OHHHHHH!" The audience exploded.
Demeter walked towards Dionisius and grabbed his head.
"Dionisius, you aren't a god"
"You have to get use to live as a human"
"And have the responsibilities of a human"
Demeter lifted her leg and pointed at Dionisius's head.
"If you don't let go of your past, you will always stay like this… mediocre"
*PUM*
With an explosion, the duel ended and everything returned to normal.
Dionisius lied down on the ground with his young appearance while he looked at Demeter.
"Dionisius, I will ask one last time" Said Demeter.
"What are you going to do?"
Dionisius looked at Demeter.
"Not matter what I do… I can't undo the damage that I did to Rebecca, nor can't I compensate uncle for the harm that I did to him… IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I DO! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING WHEN I AM A MORTAL!" Said Dionisius.
"You can" Said Demeter.
"?" Dionisius looked at Demeter.
"But you have to put an effort, the life of humans is one of suffering, one of challenges"
"But… at the very end" Demeter smiled.
"It's a lot more fulfill than a god's life"
Dionisius was stunned with Demeter's words.
After some seconds, he smiled.
"I guess letting go of your identity it's a lot harder than what I thought" Said Dionisius.
"…" Demeter looked at Dionisius.
Dionisius took a deep breath and looked at Demeter seriously.
"Aunty, I am sorry for all I had to say before"
"I know what to do" Said Dionisius.
"And that's it?" Asked Demeter.
"I will take Alfonso's place… while he is absent at least" Said Dionisius seriously.
"What about Artemis?" Asked Demeter.
"She has her own responsibilities" Said Dionisius.
Demeter looked at Dionisius's eyes for some seconds before smiling.
"That's a good look you have there, I can't expect less from the child I rose" Said Demeter.
"Thanks, Aunty" Said Demeter.
"By the way Aunty"
"Yes?"
"Can you stop stomping on me?"
"Not yet"
"You call me old"
"…" Dionisius was speechless.
............…
Alfonso was surprised by his vision.
"The hell, I can see?" Said Alfonso with emotion.
"Not so fast kid, indeed you can see here… but that is because you are using your 'other' eye, that's the difference" Said Chrono.
Alfonso touched his eye, usually, he always saw with his right eye, now, however, he was seeing with his left eye. There were two reasons why he couldn't see with this eye, the first one was that every time he opened his eye, he consumed soul power, and the other once was, that, despite opening his eye, he could only the time particles and the form of objects.
Now, however, he could see things clearly.
"Now that you have awakened your will power, your eye is no longer out of control, however, it will better if you not use it out there at least is extremely necessary" Said Prometheus.
"Why not?" Asked Alfonso.
"There is a knot of time" Said Chrono.
"Knot of time?" Asked Alfonso.
"When I was at my peak, I could see the future every now and then, however, there were still somethings that I couldn't see, those things were restricted by the universal law, in other words, I couldn't see my own doom because it was destinated to happen, I couldn't prevent it. That's what I call a knot of time" Said Chrono.
He pointed at Alfonso's eye.
"When I was in your body, I saw a knot of time every time I used the power of the eye, that means that every time you use it, you are getting closer and closer to your doom" Said Chrono.
"My own doom? How is that possible?" Asked Alfonso.
"I don't know, however, and this is only just a guess, there someone or a group of people, that are aware that the power of time has appeared, and they want to hunt it down… the most probable one are…" Said Prometheus
"The gods" Said Chrono with a smile.
"The gods? Why? How are they aware?"
"Well, it's obvious that the power of time hasn't been eradicated, we know this and they knew it as well, however, they have been at peace because they know that there isn't a inhere of the power of time, but… if, by any chance, an inheritor were to appear…"
"I could mean that the god of time could, once again, reappear" Said Alfonso.
"Indeed" Said Chrono.
"Until now, there hasn't been any movement from above, but I am sure that the knot of time is there… if the gods take action, nobody can save you kid" Said Chrono.
"Alfonso, this is all a guess, but to be save, do not use your power of time unless your life is at risk" Said Prometheus.
"I understand" Said Alfonso
"Well~ now that the crappy things have been said, it's time for you to get the hell out of my place" Said Chrono.
"Believe me, the only reason I can tolerate being here with you is because Prometheus is here" Said Alfonso.
"Stop it, you two, we are all adults" Said Prometheus.
"I am not an adult though! Haha!" Said Chrono.
"…" Alfonso didn't want to say anything.
"Anyway, Alfonso, it's time for you to go back" Said Prometheus.
"Okay"
"Break a leg kid, literally!" Said Chrono with sarcasm.
"Oh, fuck you"
Alfonso closed his eyes and once again, in front of him, the face of Leonardo could be seeing.
"Alfonso Lockheart!" Shouted Leonardo.
Alfonso looked at Leonardo with coldness while he felt a chill coming out from his hand.
"Leonardo, be glad" Said Alfonso.
"?"
"You would be the first person to taste my will power" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso's eyes were shut; however, Leonardo could still feel the cold gaze of Alfonso on him.
"[NOSTRADAMUS'S RECORD]!" Shouted Alfonso.
