//tshuki rolls in// POV from a new person, retold a bit rambly, because that's how he told it to some of his allies. It works as a separate story in a sense. //tshuki rolls out.//

I saw the world end 5 678 times.
First time was a surprise. The sky shattered like glass and all the aether was sucked up in something like a black hole.
We all died.
The system maintaining this world had collapsed. Turned out our god, or the filter that recycled aether would eventually go corrupt, lose her mind, go out to rampage and be eaten by a Titan, and then the titan, having gained the authority to, would suck up all the aether within minutes.
Back then I didn't know that, of course. The world quit on me about fifty times still making me no smarter than when I started out.
By 1 345th collapse I finally saw it in person - the god being eaten by the titan.
By 1 956th collapse I had tried everything I could to prevent our god from rampaging or prevent her from meeting the titan.
She had gotten too corrupt and the only way she (and also I, at a later point) saw it was - we needed a substitute. Someone strong who could consume her yet felt fondness towards this world.
I killed myself a few thousand times, leaped back a few thousand days and started preparing from the day since I gained this ability.
I could only go as far as to the moment when Bruno, Celeste , and Yugo drowned while trying to clear a gray storm and I, well, being a fish cumimi could breathe underwater, so when that dream world fell apart, I snapped out and saw that I was the only one remaining.
Perhaps that's why I gained a far bigger portion of aether than anyone expected.
The first time around I was an idiot, the humans found out and shipped me off to do an operation on me to cut off half of my brain. That's when I discovered that M ability types (like myself) could protect humans from other Ms by touching them. Also, priests who took care of us knew nothing. If that wasn't so I would have, firstly, known what was coming, secondly, brainwashed the humans or scared them away with illusions and gotten away.
