Sword Saint Of The Omniverse (On Indefinite Hiatus)

Worth of a Life

A.N. yes I know I know I did a Charlotte with the first arc

P.S. always go for thighs

Bismark finds a bloody scene and finds Kaede when she is about to kill the cousin. She then runs off and starts the random massacre before being confronted by Bismark

Well shit...Someone murdered some children and left. I smell the blood of 4 children within the building.

I placed my hand on the bridge of my nose and sighed. Realizing that I'm shaking a little, I steady myself beside a tree

Is she...Still worth saving? I mean, I could revive them since I looted the entirety of the church's treasure and there are many resurrection items but it would raise too many questions...

I crush part of the trunk in frustration at the realization

I...I am not a hero...As much as I try, I am still selfish...

I stomp my foot on the ground, careful to not draw too much attention but the force from the stomp still caused a sizeable web of cracks upon the ground

Bismark: "damn it!"

If I had only been faster! If I only ran instead of a leisurely walked I would save HER! If I had-

I was broken out of my thoughts when I sensed a new presence nearby, along with a small amount of the children's blood

Kaede is here

I hear a heart beating nearby

She's observing what the commotion is about.

{Divine Protection of Perfect Recall} tells me that she hasn't met Kouta yet. I bit down on my tongue, not hard enough to draw blood, contemplating on what to do.

I am a hero, but if I don't let her meet Kouta, the canon diverges too much...If I do, she'll kill more people...

I rack every part of my brain at what to do {Divine Protection of Prophecy} isn't giving me anything. {Divine Protection of Future Knowledge} is only giving me knowledge for the next 2 years for some reason-

Is that Goddess trolling me? I swear I won't be surprised if she isn't Zelretch in disguise-

A sudden crack of lightning went off nearby, stunning me for a second and causing Kaede to fall. I turn towards to noise, still debating on what should I do before I noticed a cloud of smoke coming from the direction of the lightning strike

DAMN IT! Forest fire, I swear that Goddess is trolling me.

Bismark: "you there! Come with me, a forest fire is coming, we'll find your parents"

I silently hoped for forgiveness as I approached where Kaede is located

Bismark: "come on, we need to get out of here, based on the size already this place will become an inferno in no time!"

I turn around to look at the already large blaze that's consumed the tree it's struck and is spreading rapidly

Bismark: "Even with the rain it'll take around 5 minutes before it gets here."

As I turn around I turned on {Divine Protection of Psychic Discernment} to see 2 vector hands, each the size of around a dinner plate coming towards me
