Chapter 1027: Baldr
Pov Goddess Selene:
I was seeing how Zenos was doing things, he acts more recklessly than Natasha in her youth, at least he still has some intelligence to notice the opportunities within his reach.
"Your son is a madman, where did he get such a strong Awakening skill?" (Aina)
"He made a fusion between some similar skills, it was a good idea, but he didn't realize the danger he was in." (I)
"He doesn't realize the danger he's in now." (Aina)
"You say that, but you have a big smile on your face." (I)
Aine and I were watching how Zenos was performing his subordinates' Awakening Ceremony, but his recklessness made us act to save him.
"It is proving to be more useful than expected." (Aina)
"It's going a lot further than we anticipated." (Aina)
"I know, but that must be good, he's on his way this time." (I)
"Selene, he is not" (Aine)
"I know, but yet he's so similar to himself at the same time he's still so different." (I)
I know all this but I can't help but see his shadow in Zenos, at least my son is moving forward in his ways.
I was watching my daughters take care of their brother when I felt something and got up.
"I'm going out, let the others know what happened, they could have interfered without knowing everything." (I)
"You shouldn't go." (Aine)
"There's nothing he can do to me." (I)
"Just avoid a battle, don't let him piss you off too much" (Aine)
Aine had her fingers and the space split in front of her taking her to Akatosh's must be, meanwhile I go where he dared to step.
--------------
When I leave through the portal that I created by letting my back be fixed, I am again in this land whose existence is to be the tomb of those who fell in those days.
I take each step across space as the landscape changes around me, be it deserts full of tombstones, forests full of tombstones, mountains full of tombstones.
Before long I arrive at the only place that still looks like a battlefield, piles of bones forming mountains to the clouds, broken weapons everywhere, a barren land where all that exists is death.
In this desolate place is the only tomb without a headstone, that's why there is nothing of the body to bury, all that exists is his broken sword still in the same place where he left it, a sword from which the blood that flows like rivers through this place draws originates, right in the middle of a lake of blood.
Standing away from the lake and a little way ahead is an idiot, his appearance has changed once again, now he has short blond hair, and dresses in white and gold robes while having a crown of light shining on his smug head.
"You have the nerve to step foot in this place, Baldr." (I)
"Give me one reason not to draw my sword." (I)
"Stop lying, you would be the last to start a battle in this place, especially near the closest tomb that man has." (Baldr)
Baldr turns to me, his face indifferent to my mock anger or where we are, his confident demeanor and the superiority he imagines etched in his golden eyes.
"Say what you have to say and go away." (I)
"This place is not yours Selene, I also lost many of my people in that war." (Baldr)
"You didn't lose them, you sent them to their deaths, all because you refused to act along with everyone else!" (I)
"You teamed up with traitors, each one of them watching as entire worlds were destroyed and the Humans I created fall by the wayside." (Baldr)
There he goes, even after all this time, there is still a grudge.
"Do you think it's going to be any different now? They're going to betray everyone once again, such selfish beings don't need to exist." (Baldr)
"So it was just this nonsense you called me?" (I)
"I know you've been rallying other Gods against me, tell them to stop interfering, you've already done enough damage to my plans." (Baldr)
"My power is the only one that can protect this world as I did back then." (Baldr)
His light power was useful, but it wasn't the only one.
"You remain a fool, do you think you can lead the conflict to come?" (I)
"You know that yes, I don't want those days to repeat themselves, I can tolerate a false Goddess like you, I can even tolerate your Vampires, but I will not allow these corrupt beings and these wild creatures to remain!" (Baldr)
He still hates the Devils and Beastmen, he doesn't accept the indifference that their races showed while hiding in other Races' territories, especially the acts that the Devils of that time did, this was before the sense of pride spread through his race.
"Don't try to argue, what you're doing is lowering our numbers, your hatred of the past will lead to your downfall." (I)
"Remember that day Selene, remember that I extended my hand in consideration of those days, but it was you who continued to side with those who defiled so many worlds!" (Baldr)
He turns and leaves, I don't know why he did all this, he knows I would never side with him, someone who is so tied up in past grudges is also blinded by what the future holds.
I look at the lake of blood and walk over to where I stand looking at the sword stuck in the mound of dirt in the middle of the lake of blood.
"We can't get stuck in the past, Baldr." (I)
"You never understood that." (I)
His intentions are good, but only for those who follow him, for everyone else life or death is luck, that's always how he saw things.

Pov God Baldr:
I returned to my Divine Realm with a smile on my face.
"Selene, both then and now you still hold back." (I)
I needed to know if after so long of conflict between the two of us, she was still reluctant to start a fight, it also seems like she doesn't expect me to fight.
"You don't understand Selene, you never did, nothing can withstand the light." (I)
I walk to my throne and draw the sword I've never used before, a sword made from that fool's Blood.
"With this sword, I can summon my Champion, it should strengthen him enough to serve as a vessel for me, when that happens, this entire universe will belong to me as it was meant to be in the past." (I)
It took me millions of years to purify the filth of this sword to return to being just pure Human Blood as it was in the beginning, now it's perfect.
