Chapter 377: Is It Finally Victory? (1)

—

"You are crazy."

Babylon's Underworld was brighter than ever before. It was almost like it was day, due to the millions of souls that have reached here in so little time. The Apocalypse on the surface hadn't been soft on them.

The two extraterrestrial beings didn't care about that at all. Instead, after the Director spoke of something ridiculous, Eurynome could only scoff.

"You are delusional. No, my bad, it's not exactly a delusion since it's you. You can make it a reality, you illogically motivated woman. However, it's still the craziest thing I have heard in the last few centuries."

The Director giggled at that, locks of colorless hair falling by her face before she tucked them away.

Eurynome sighed, raising her arms in frustration and letting them fall off.

"So you're not gonna let me take him? Listen, I want my daughter back, and I don't care at all about your plan. And ultimately it's not of any help to me, it's rather the opposite actually. If you truly use Neji Hado to bring back that man, it's not good for me or the Prime. I am not sure why you told me all that; now I want to reveal my true powers."

"Can you win though?"

The Director countered her plan in an instant, her smile stretching.

"You are no match to me as you are right now. But if you unseal yourself, then... Well, even then the Omniverse's Will may incarnate itself into Gaia. To add on top of that, even some Abstract may come here. Not that any of that additional number would matter, given I alone am enough to counter whatever tricks you have. Yet, are you sure you want to risk everything, just for a possibility?"

"...."

Eurynome's expression soured. She felt frustrated like never before, it felt so goddamn annoying. A part of her just wanted to let go of the seals and show this filth of a mortal who truly was the strongest, but she held back.

She wasn't the emotional one out of the two rulers of Prime. She had to be calm and strategic, unlike her husband. Obviously, she didn't actually fear her threats, no amount of Abstracts or even the incarnated Omniverse would be of any real threat to her existence, but it would indeed cause other problems.

All because of one thing.

"We are having this conversation for so long only because I have no use for the 2nd Gamer yet. He doesn't meet the criteria yet. If he did, I would have just teleported with him by now. But since he isn't ready yet, I will have to stop you from taking my grooming prey. He is mine, his fate destined him to be mine and mine alone."

The Director got off her seat which was a mold of space & time, dropping to her feet. "That's all I have to say. I have to admit I had an advantage this time due to the situation, so I might not get to intervene next time. But I am sure the gamer will be ready for you the next time you try to mess with him. After this experience, after this... abysmal loss, he will be different. Now it's time I go, it seems 'whoever' met him on the other side has helped him return. Good luck, this time it will be a bit different."

Then, with a shift in reality, the glitch-like existence just vanished. Before she entirely vanished, she leaned over to tuck something in Neji's armor, and then the fabrics of space & time healed themselves.

Eurynome frowned, groaning and rumbling in her throat, while still shocked by what the Director had revealed earlier. She couldn't just grab Neji and leave either right now, she was sure that woman would try to stop her if she tried that, even if she vanished from plain sight.
