The Goddess' Champion

Chapter 119 Past Memories: Aurelianne III

Toki's eyes shivered in confusion.

'What is going on?'

With his power he witnessed how endless tendrils of time coiled around Constantine's soul in Dragoncrest.

This could only mean one thing, but... he smirked.

"Looks like your little boyfriend will be in high demand in the future, Nova. Several tendrils of time lock around his soul, threatening his life. Let me help him~" He said wickedly with both Nova and Galantis frowning, they both squeezed their intent in to try and pry into what he's doing to Constantine, especially Nova who doesn't trust him at all.

[Timeless Distortions!]

He uttered simple words, but they immediately made Galantis and Nova gasp.

"What did you do!?"

"It is a curse to prevent time disruptions..." Galantis frowned, "you just prevented him from ever travelling through the tendrils of time... what is the meaning of this?"

"I also prevented anyone else from ever being able to travel to his timeline from a foreign one, Galantis... I'm protecting him. He has several tendrils coiling around his soul, which means that in the past or the future, there were beings with control over the time laws using him as a medius to travel."

"..." Nova frowned so hard in suspiciousness, she couldn't find flaws in his words, but what he did was still suspicious.

'One of those tendrils was me, but are the others?' She wondered solemnly, future enemies was one of those options and him erasing the possibility for them to come back in time and threaten him was a huge favour.

[Karma Regulation Module, Active] The trial said, now fixed.

"I already created the trial as you desired, from now on none of us can personally interfere with his growth as per the deal, I hope you're content with that, dear~"

"..." Galantis looked at Nova for confirmation and the Goddess returned the look to him together with a confused Aurelianne... eventually she nodded and the next second the two of them disappeared, there was nothing else to do here.

"What are you scheming, Toki."

"You involve yourself too much in our universe, Galantis... even if one of your wives was born here, that shouldn't be sufficient reason."

"Euphoria loved this universe, it would be sad to see it destroyed over a mere lover's tantrum." The Dragon sighed, ready to leave.

"She betrayed me with that mortal, Galantis... I don't even recognise my wife anymore."

"Have you stopped to look at yourself in a mirror..." Saying those words, Galantis departed in a portal back to his own universe, leaving Toki and the still eavesdropping scattered essence of Nova.

She had hoped him to reveal something but such a thing didn't happen.

Nova and Aurelianne appeared floating above the De Castile Castle, their son's current residence.

"What are we going to do now?"

"You're going to keep looking at him, Aurelianne... but I have to go... I'll teach you everything you need to know."

"I'm still quite confused, you know?" Aurelianne, as Isabella... didn't understand half a thing.

It was then that Nova explained everything, telling her that they had lived together for her whole life without she even noticing...

that they both loved her son and that she was given a second chance since Nova liked her quite a bit and thought it was unfair that they wouldn't reach a greater happiness together.

"So we have been together that long?"

"Yes, every single second... I have lived it together with you, dear." Nova embraced Aurelianne.

The beauty looked like a hybrid between three existences, she even dared to say that Aurelianne's beauty matched her own.

"Thank you... s-so, he's not my son now...?"

"Yes."

They moved through space until arriving at Constantine's bedroom where he lay together with a infant child. Caroline, Phoebe and Lucille were looking at him still, trying to cheer him up. This was a month after she died and her funeral was hold in their small town.

Isabella's body had been buried in her beautiful garden, but Constantine couldn't be a single day there without literally breaking.

Aurelianne felt so pained when she saw him like that, this is the most destroyed he has been. Bags under his eyes, unhealthy skin and clearly malnourished since he refused to eat.

Even then, he smiled, caressing his son's silver hair as he slept.

"We can't involve ourselves anymore... you're a goddess now, Aurelianne... but you will be able to take him afterwards."

"But Nova I have to help him!" As Isabella, seeing her son like this was equivalent to death, but Nova knew better.

"Our son is a strong individual... he will resurface from the ashes, trust me on this... but you need to prepare yourself. When he dies, you're going to receive him and be his guide." Once again Nova embraced her counterpart, feeling her pain as her own.

"What must I do?"

"The first thing you need to do is to comprehend your own existence, now you're a goddess..." Nova took Aurelianne to some other place away from here.

It was a decaying spot filled with dying grass and a massive big tree whose leaves were falling endlessly.

"This is your private dimension... it used to be my daughters."

"Why did you do it, use your daughter's spark?" Aurelianne/Isabella wondered, it was something forbidden.

"Because... you and Constantine are important for me, my daughter won't come back, she was mustered by one of her sisters using the Death Laws, her soul is forever lost and taken by the reapers... I merely managed to save her God Spark before she slipped away from me... since then it has been hundreds of thousands of years. I realised that holding her spark won't change anything, it won't bring her back, moreover you need this too in order to exist. If I didn't use a Life God Spark, you would

| сom ne hunted down by the reapers... in fact, you will as you're still Isabella... your current soul is a construct between me and you. That's why you need to become stronger and assimilate your powers, only the life laws can fight the death laws."

"Is there are primordial god of life and death, like you?"

Nova shook her head and they noticed how merely by Aurelianne's presence here, the world was starting to turn green and sane.

The Laws of Death personifies itself in the form of reapers... they are the death itself and the purpose of death is to dispose of evil souls, reincarnate good souls or hold them in stand by depending on their karma.

In the case of the laws of life, Life is represented in the form of life itself, everyone and everything that lives is in itself a member of the laws of life.

"Gods of Life are some of the most difficult existences to kill since they basically transcend the cycle of all things, clinging to life like no one else can, both Life Gods and Death Gods are miracles that only exist by the joint divinity of higher gods. My daughter's death was a huge loss to this universe..." Nova said with dejection.

"I'm sorry..." Aurelianne, in contrast, also felt Nova's pain, understanding how this soul construct worked, it was as if it had been her daughter too.

"Anyway... we need to prepare, im going to teach you everything I can, but after that you will be on your own, I must get back to the Space Realm, Toki and I have never been in such a bad blood. I want to kill him, but I can't..." Nova said threateningly.

"Why go so far?"

"We are both joint existences... a bond like the one I have with you, I have with him... but... it repulses me, I only want this bond with Constantine. However, unless someone is able to replace Toki, this bond can't be broken or it will make this universe. I'm shackled."

"... It has to be Constantine, right?"

"I want it to be Constantine... only him... that's why you need to guide him through the trial, his first step is to become a Demigod before the trial begins, then after reaches Godhood, he might have the power to involve himself in all of this, right now, he's too weak."

"I understand."

For the next few years, Nova taught Isabella how to use her powers, she quickly realised the downside of fusing with a God Spark instead of growing their own, compatibility was a huge factor.

"If he fuses with a Spark, it will be difficult for him to increase his strength or get used to it. In your case, you're not completely compatible

with Aurelianne's spark, but at least you have affinity to life. That is not his case, his divinity is prone to destruction."

After several months of training in which Aurelianne managed to connect to Vita, her tree... it was time for Nova to go.

"There are Valkyries in the Space Realm... I don't know what he's pretending."

"Please, rest assured and leave the rest to me!" Both goddesses hugged one another.

"I'm so envious of you..." Nova confessed, Aurelianne was going to be able to spend a lot of time with him.

"You will be feeling everything, won't you?~"

"Yes, but... it is not the same. Moreover, if we're too far apart, you might need to come to me to share your memories with me... our connection is not infallible and Sandoria is extremely far from the Space Realm in the realm of the gods." Nova pouted, in any case, it would be like torture to be able to feel everything yet not be in the place.

During this month Aurelianne has come to know about Sandoria, it was an infamous place in the realm of the gods, called the 'tomb' of gods.

Stricken by a dementia disease and millenia of scourge between Gods, such was the place she belonged to now.
