On the day when she intended to annihilate humanity and end her long life.
Tashian, due to a promise with the only being who had ever halted her advance, had been forcibly sustaining her life, which otherwise would have ended soon.
It was a promise she need not have kept.
She raged because, before even having the chance to quell the chaos, contemptible beings intoxicated with the authority of their petty wars dared to challenge her.
'Give them a chance. A chance to prove they deserve to exist in this world...'
Even now, she could annihilate such irritating beings, yet why had she continued her life this long, upholding a promise she didn't need to make?
Even now, she couldn't accept it, defining all of it as 'whimsy' and regretting the promise she made that day.
As a dragon, a being akin to part of the world itself, her words carried significant weight, compelling her to fulfill any promise she made, regardless of its reason.
Therefore, no matter how contemptible she found the humans around her, she wouldn't act until the day came to fulfill that promise...
"So, in this situation, a future where I annihilate humanity's armies is soon to unfold... is that what you're saying?"
"Yes, yes. That's right. I've definitely seen such a future... Eek!"
The fortune teller, appearing to talk nonsense, shuddered and cringed as she swiftly raised a finger.
Her trembling, clutching her head, was clearly an act of fear, evident to anyone who saw her.
"If you don't like hearing the truth, at least speak more civilly."
As she was heading to the market for groceries, she suddenly appeared, grabbing her collar and demanding explanations. How could she be civil in responding?
"So, what made you come all the way to where I am?"
However, given that she had the ability to see the future, there must be a valid reason for her actions.
As Tashian, sitting on a bench in the square, lit a cigarette and asked, Airi began to look up at her cautiously.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"If you've seen my past, you should know. Promises are absolute to me."
A dragon was, in and of itself, almost a part of the world.
Thus, every word she spoke was akin to an enduring rule of the world, and if it took the form of a promise, not even a being called a God could break it.
And, though it was perplexing to her, if she had foreseen his death, she surely would have sought a way to avoid it.
"So you chose to confront me directly as a way to prevent that... Surely you don't think that just because you can see the future, you can manipulate me?"
"No, no, I don't think that. Controlling you would be like moving mountains and parting seas."
Yes, she was different from other transcendents.
If the interventions of ordinary transcendents were limited to individuals or their surroundings, the whims of the being before her would affect futures on at least a national or regional scale.
The butterfly effect of such interventions could bring upheaval to the world.
To think one could prevent a catastrophe caused by such a being just by knowing the future would be the height of arrogance.
