Chapter 88: Shattered Hope

3rd Pov

Euphenia, that is the name of the last world Dawn resided...a blooming world that awaited someone to collect all kinds of achievements.

Peace, treaty between nations, alliance, corruption needed to be cleared and many more...when Dawn arrived, it was merely a routine for him.

Thousands upon thousands, maybe a million ? No, he had already lost count of how many worlds he visited during this long journey.

Euphenia was no different, he just decided to shape it as he wished...it would often come to meeting an interesting individual and helping him/her raise.

Or just joining some military or the weakest but honest nation...this time however, he remained passive guiding an already established royal family.

Time passed and after only 2 centuries...a rift formed into the sky, at the time Dawn was having a tea party with the second prince and first princess.

He instantly realized what was happening as a genuine smile filled with hope graced his face for the first time in the last eternity.

An instant in the cardinal world is equal to almost the entire process of creation of the universe to its very end in a lower world.

Thus even if Dawn awaited another century before reaching the rift, he would still make it back instantly in the eyes of the people within the central world.

Dawn : (Bonds are formed and engraved in memories, memories must be cherished in order of keeping your true self alive...)

He announced that he would depart in 2 days...just the right time to give a final farewell to all the people that accompanied him in Euphenia.

It was a sad lost for the friends he was leaving behind but all understood his motive...he was revered as a demigod, unconsciously classed as an otherworldly being too powerful to fit this world's balance.

Power comes with responsibility, each individual through fate has a role to fill and no one should be there to rip off that destiny.

Dawn : It's finally time...

On the last day, he grabbed his coat, gently brushing it over his shoulder...his style has changed a bit overtime, his hair was slightly longer...and his features didn't age much.

He was still called a handsome young adult despite outliving the oldest creature in this realm...the only main difference compared to the him from before the journey lay in his eyes.

They were now carrying an unfathomable amount of...emotion and void, as a traveler he had met countless people and seen them leave.

Scenario upon scenario stacking like paperwork, his memoires full of happy and sad moments...yet he didn't regret a single of these encounters.

Because as he said...everyone he had met forged his current self, even as the strongest he could learn from someone much weaker, tenacity against hardship is an example of many things he experienced through his companion.

Dawn : Yeah, it was a fine journey.

A smile tickling his face, he patted the partners that followed him through all...

Dawn : (Are you ready Shin Exalia ? Dusk?)

He merely received a strong positive pulse from his blade and soul, they were already working on being ready for the incoming fight.

After so long, to suddenly fight a top tier opponent almost excited them...

Dawn : Then let's go...

Taking a step forward, he moved through the castle only to find it oddly quiet...there were no maids or knights that usually greeted him as he marched toward the main gate.
