After Samsara’s defeat, Veronica and Ervas had a lot to do, they first held a big meeting with every God from Kritias and also from Kosmos, making them join into a big council where they discussed what they were going to do. At the end, the Gods of Kosmos allowed Veronica and Ervas to absorb the world of Kosmos inside of their Galaxy Realm after a lot of persuasion, Zeus was very stubborn.

The Primordial Origin Fragment was left unscathed for now, as it held a power that even the split souls as of now could not touch yet, and their parents, Chaos and The One sent them a divine message telling them that this fragment would change the future as a whole one day, and that it was better to maintain it sealed and safe inside their Galaxy Realm.

Over time, days, and weeks passed, the Gods of Kosmos had to get accustomed to many new entities within their world, and the Gods of Kritias were as welcoming as possible, while also trying to make friends with the Gods of Kosmos.

The Gods of Samsara, all the Transmigration Gods, were not killed, but simply became part of Veronica and Ervas responsibility. They learned that destroy the transmigration cycles would only bring the death of many beings, as the universe had already become too dependent on them unlike in the past.

Many of the Transmigration Gods were not happy about it, but they couldn’t really argue against their new boss, and ultimately submitted to them, preferring to live peacefully as they had done until now than die pointlessly by trying to go against them.

Days, weeks, months, and a year passed, and the split souls were constantly busy doing many things, absorbing the power they acquired, slowly growing stronger, and also mapping the Universe, while watching closely at the “Children of Fate”. Specially, they met a boy named Frank, who he was said to be the “key” for the future as well, a boy that could freely travel across worlds.

He was someone special which they had to nurture over time, and that they would watch closely and help whenever he required their assistance in matters beyond his own control, but it seemed that intervening too much would alter Fate too much, so they decided to leave him on his own for the most part.

They also met a vampire named Noah, the son of Azathoth, the third pillar, he was a ruthless and villainous Vampire who was ultimately defeated in a fight. Although, due to his own mother, the “Shadow” of Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, he was reincarnated alongside all his fallen family and allies in the world of Vampires known as Abyss. For now, they’re closely watching his development without intervening, but he was also a Child of Fate.

After searching some more, they found the world of Genesis and Kireina, she was undergoing many trials, and apparently she was going to change her own world and soon come to the outside universe, they decided to leave her for now, and only intervene if things were to become too desperate, if they were capable of doing something to begin with… Kireina was the wildest variable across the entire Universe, she was also a key piece for the future to come.

And as they learned about Kireina, they learned about her Siblings, they were fragments of Chaos that were left out from her when she fell from Chaos’ Realm and ended stranding across the Universe, losing part of her mass until she was reincarnated inside of Genesis.

These residual chaos were spread all around the Universe and they really had to resolve this issue, but by learning about it, they also learned about her siblings, fragments of her soul that reincarnated independently.

One of them was a Vampire Dragon young man named Chaos, he was a in the farthest areas of the Universe, a part of the Universe governed by a mysterious system apparently set up by the Universe’s Core itself for mysterious reasons… They had been watching silently for now, without the drive to intervene for the moment.

And lastly, there was a girl, someone named Benladann, an Ice Giant woman reborn in a world named Yggdrasil, whose partner was a reincarnated man that was an Ice Dragon named Drake, the two of them were living their own adventures, and for now, they seemed to be doing fine… they even had a daughter recently, who held incredible potential named Benladra.

And about the world of Eden, the people that became eggs hatched eventually, and became angelic bird people similar to how Manationia ended looking like, they all held some sort of divine power within them and could be considered a divine race. As of now, they had joined the world of Kosmos which was fused with Eden and were helping rebuild cities that ended in a catastrophe after the war against the Celestial Primordials.

Manationia became some sort of Goddess with Octo, and the two have become figures similar to secretaries for the split souls, even against their will, they really wanted to help, so they let the two do whatever they wanted.

Yggdrasil fused with the other trees within the Galaxy Realm, and had begun to evolve into a Galactic Yggdrasil Tree, all while her mothers, Juliette and Charlotte were at her side at most of the time, even building a small house atop one of her tallest branches, where the two and the avatar of Yggdrasil lived together peacefully.

All the friends from Kritias were doing fine, now that fights and war had ended, they all resumed their daily lives, some became teachers and instructors for young gods, others simply decided to live in seclusion peacefully inside a forest, others decided to go into an adventure across the outer universe by themselves, and some simply remained at the side of the split souls as they had always been.

As of now, a year after everything, the split souls were blessed with several beautiful children, almost ten little children were all playing around in the grass fields of Olympus, where the split souls had made a big temple to live in, the view was always beautiful in here, and both Kritias and Greek Gods came to visit them most of the time.

”We have really lived quite a lot in this little time…” Sighed Veronica.

”Yeah… It has been a long journey…” Said Ervas.

The two sat down over the grass, seeing their children play around with one another, it was a cute and relaxing scene. Their wives were also playing around with the children, some were cooking and others were talking leisurely and peacefully.

There were no worries in their minds… this was the peace they had fought so much to achieve.

”I suppose we can finally call it a day, huh?” Laughed Aurora, looking into the vast sky, the breeze was nice and soothing, and the trio rested over the grass, carefreely.

”Yeah, I guess we can call it a day…” Giggled Veronica.

”Hm, for now… Let’s rest and enjoy the break we desperately needed…” Sighed Ervas.

Although their journey has ended, the story of the Universe continues, as the lives of the Children of Fate slowly converge together through the threads of Fate and Destiny….

Fin.

…

Or… to be continued?

After half a year since their children were born, Veronica and Ervas had been very busy with raising children, but just recently, Aurora came with something rather incredible.

She had seen it with her very two eyes, but they couldn’t really believe her when she told them that, as she explored her spacetime powers, she ended opening a “path” to what she called… a Parallel Dimension.

”Parallel Dimension? Not even The One knows that for sure, Aurora…” Sighed Veronica.

”There are indeed other Dimensions but none of them have been proven to be a parallel of the others… They’re all very different.” Said Ervas.

”SIGH! Just come and see it with your very eyes! You’ll believe me when you do! And this Parallel Dimension is INSANE!” Said Aurora.

”Aurora, if this is another of your pranks, I swear that I will…!” Said Veronica, tired of Aurora’s pranks.

”Hahaha, I am not joking… Come on, don’t look at me like that…” Sighed Aurora.

”…Fine.” Said Ervas.

”Alright, sure.” Sighed Veronica.

”Alright then! Come!” Aurora, held the hands of Veronica and Ervas, as she opened a portal to this “path”.

FLAAASH!

It felt as if they were traveling across a wormhole, it spread across the Universe and the Dimensions, reaching into an incredibly far away Dimensional Cluster, an incredibly far away area named “Parallel Cluster” where trillions if not endless amounts of Dimensions which were parallels of others existed. In one of them, Aurora found something incredible.

FLUOSH!

A portal opened within this Dimension, as the split souls quickly looked down to see what there was in this place.

What they found was… oddly familiar.

It was an enormous wasteland made of black and gray rock, with a gigantic demonic castle atop a hill, and a big city surrounding it. However everything was in ruins, there was fire everywhere, and soldiers were marching across, slaying countless people… people that looked like Kritias’ demons.

”T-This is…” Muttered Veronica, flabbergasted.

”No way, Kritias?!” Asked Ervas.

”Oh no… We came too late.” Muttered Aurora.

”Late?” Asked Veronica.

”Shit, they’re already inside the castle, quickly follow me!” Said Aurora.

As the trio flew towards the castle, a sudden tremor happened, as within the skies, the power of the God of Light and Law emerged, an enormous stake made of this divine light began to fall down into the castle, destroying the ceiling and then… piercing through the soul of a screaming Demon Queen…

”Y-You bastards! I won’t… forgive any of youuuuu! UUUUAAAAAAGGGH…!”

TRUUUUUUMMMM…!

When they finally reached the castle, everything was in ruins, and several heroes stood in front of the charred corpse of a Demon Queen. Veronica and Ervas were left speechless.

”No… It can’t be… This is a parallel Kritias where… we are here as well?!” Asked Veronica.

”But this is… Anastacia, our previous self…” Said Ervas.

”Damn it…” Sighed Aurora. “I wanted to stop this…”

”Our movements in another dimension are very restricted, this is why we couldn’t fly faster… We can’t do much, this is not the place we belong to…” Said Ervas.

”I know but…” Sighed Aurora. “Can’t we… give her another chance?” Asked Aurora.

”…”

”…”

Ervas and Veronica remained in silence, as they saw the soul of this parallel Anastacia slowly fading away. Her face looked terribly sad, and filled with conflicting emotions, she seemed filled with guilt and pain… everything she had worked to build ended, it was all over.

Within their hearts, they recalled this same thing when it happened to them. In such a moment, they wished something could have helped them, a miracle… If they could had somehow turn back time and go to the past like all of these fictional stories they loved to read back on Earth…

Without saying a word, all three of them suddenly merged together, pointing their hand at the soul- no, at the entire world. They used an incredible amount of power, draining it directly from their Universe, as the entire world of Kritias suddenly began to move… backwards.

As if it were a movie that was being put on reverse, the entire world turned back time, the dead was somehow revived, and everything was turned back to the point when Anastacia was just born, with her memories intact…

Anastacia’s eyes suddenly opened wide as her mother; a beautiful elf empress looked at her lovingly.

”(Eh? What is this… My mother?! I have… gone back in time…? This is… no way…)”

Veronica, Ervas, and Aurora were exhausted, but this was everything they could do for now.

”Are you sure this is going to be alright?” Asked Aurora.

”Yeah, we can’t do any more than this but… Now that she has her memories from the future…” Said Ervas.

”I am sure that she’ll be able to change everything…” Said Veronica.

And like this, the journey of a Demon Queen that went back in time began.
