Chapter 437 Final Decision
As night fell, I lay next to Adel and held her hand as I buried my nose into her neck. Her smell has always calmed me. She has been by my side for so long that I feel that if she is not with me, then I will be incomplete. I reached out and caressed her face as I moved the hair on her neck away. Since I can bring Grace with me because she is connected to me and because I have the ability to turn people, why can't I do the same for Adel? I will bring her back in time with me. I will make sure she never suffers from anything. I will be her friend and lover for all eternity.
I opened my mouth and let my fangs grow out. I was about to bite down when a hand grabbed my shoulder. "It's best if you do not do that, or you will bring her back connected to the other world."
I turned and looked at Atollie, who had suddenly appeared with tears in my eyes. "Then what am I supposed to do!? Atollie, if I bring her back and break the connection, wouldn't this allow her to still live!? If I bring her back in her current state, and allow her to stay by my side, I can watch over her and make sure no harm ever comes to her. "
Atollie stared at me with a blank expression. What she was feeling or what she was thinking, I do not know. "Master…. If you bring her back in her current state, she will always be in that state. There is no guarantee that you would be able to help her either. She might forever be connected to the other world if you bring her back as she is."
"Atollie…. How many times has this happened? How many times have I brought pain to the one I love? How many times have you sent me back? You said before you have lost count. But that is not true, is it?" Everything… All my dreams. It seems to me that I have seen more timelines than I could ever imagine.
"You have been stuck in a time loop for over a few million years…. I can not tell you the exact amount of time." Atollie replied.
"Then… what are the consequences of having Sophie going back with me with the same memories?" This was very important. This would allow me to make a final decision.
"It could cause a space-time anomaly that might break the new timeline. I did not say it before because you wished to bring everyone you love, but this is not the first time you have asked this. You have asked me many times how you can bring your loved ones with you. The only exception is Miss Grace because she is blood bound to you in a different manner. She is considered part of you." Atollie slowly explained.
"I see…." I let out a sigh. I guess this was also for the best. "Atollie, I want my memories and my powers….. But Diablo and Iena should be freed. But I am sorry... I wish for you to stay by my side just in case…."
"My duty is to protect Master and follow your orders. I will do as you say. But Miss Sophie? Will you bring her with you?" Atollie asked. This question pained me the most. I already said I would bring her with me, but for this moment and time, I believe it would be best that I do not. I just need to work hard and find the fox girl back in the city and treat her the same. As for the Adel….. I will find her before she finds me. I wiped away my tears and shook my head. "No…. I love Sophie very much. But I can not bring her with me. I do not want to cause any problems where she might disappear for e…"
"Then you better damn well find me again!" Sophie suddenly burst into the room. Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she walked over to me and pushed her lips against mine. It was a short kiss, not more than a mere peck, but the look in her eyes said it all. "You are my wife. And I am your wife. If you do not find me again and make me your wife, I will curse you forever!"
I reached up and held Sophie's face. "I will definitely rescue you again and bring you with me. No matter what, you will be my wife, my friend, and my fluffiest lover."
"Good…. As for this life. You can entrust me to protect Adel. I will protect her even if I can not remember you." Sophie said as she turned to Atollie. "Can you make this happen?"
Atollie nodded as she said: "You will forget Master, but I can make it so that you can replace her. You will not feel anything out of order."
"Thank you," Sophie said before turning back to me. "Faith, Tonight we'll be together one last time. And tomorrow….. I will forget everything…."
These words were like a dagger to my heart, but I could only nod my head. That night, Sophie and I made love for the last time in this life. Once she was asleep, I left the room and went to the roof of the palace. "I need to go see Gesel one last time and give her baby a name. And then I want to see my parents in this life one last time."
"Then, once the sun rises, I will send you back," Atollie spoke softly. It seemed she did not like seeing me like this.
"Mm… But first…." I opened my menu to check on Mr. Blobs. His level had skyrocketed to almost level 2000. I looked at the recall button and hit the mass recall, which will recall all slimes back into my menu. As well as a certain fire dragon that I had forgotten about.
"Master…" Grace's voice came from my side.
"Grace, because of our link, I can not leave you here. I hope you do not mind." I looked at the girl who should have had a normal life and felt helpless when I thought about how she would never be free from me now.
"It does not matter. Where Master goes, I shall follow." Grace replied with a smile.
I nodded before disappearing. I went first to Gesel's house, where she was sleeping. I leaned over and placed my hand on her stomach. "Sorry, little one. Your godmother will not be around when you are born. But I can still give you a name. You will be named Hope, whether you are a girl or a boy. You will be the hope of this world and timeline."
I did not stay long. I quickly left and went to my house where my parents were living. They, too, were sound asleep. I did not say anything. I only took a look before leaving. In the earlier hours of the seventh month on the twenty-second day, I, Faith Cyrilia, ceased to exist any longer in this timeline….
--AN) Alright, I know some of you may be confused about the current happenings. But if you look back and see how things have progressed so far, you will see the hints of the different timelines. I won't say more since I do not want to spoil anything.---
