Chapter 288: Reality About the White Haired Woman
"I thought you would come to me with good news, but it turns out that you made him stronger AGAIN and helped the tower recover its races."
The white-haired woman re-entered the hall and uttered these words. Now not only the trio but dozens of people of different races and appearances were standing in the hall, each on their knees, prostrating themselves.
It was not hard to see that every one of them was trembling with fear.
"Ummm...there is nothing we can say, my lady, please forgive me..." said the man standing at the front of the group.
"Keep your words to yourself, I'm not here to tell you I'll give you another chance." the white-haired woman said and suddenly gestured.
With that gesture, more than 90% of the people in the room suddenly turned to dust and disappeared. The person at the front of the group didn't even dare to say anything, it would be more accurate to say that he was unable to do anything other than prostrate himself to the white-haired woman and just wait.
Nevertheless, it was already the end for him. She had destroyed all three of her chances and each time, instead of killing James, she had strengthened him.
The white-haired woman made another disgusted gesture, and with that, the group that had plagued James since he entered the tower disappeared.
At that very moment a woman, perhaps six feet tall, with squirrel ears, came through the passage from which the white-haired woman had come and said, "Are you finished?"
The white-haired woman turned to the squirrel-eared woman who had come through the passage and said, "Unfortunately, no. It seems the time has come for us to take matters into our own hands. Every day my husband and my lineage grow stronger, I can feel it, the bond between us grows stronger, and every day his power grows closer to me."
At these words, the woman with the squirrel ears turned to the white-haired woman and then began to speak:
"Come on Luna, you know Desmond's promise to you, he will come to you sooner or later, you used that stupid trio and you managed to make James stronger, you made yourself look like the enemy and you made the people in the tower worship you, all to make that boy stronger, you can't love your husband that much, he's been gone for a long, long time. It doesn't make sense that you are trying to make everything more complicated just because you miss him." the squirrel-eared woman complained.
These words shared a small detail about who the white-haired woman called "Luna" was. No one could or should have known about it. Luna was a higher being than thought. She was one of the five supreme creators and the woman who had once taken Desmond as her husband.
In short, she was the mother of Vlad, Abby, Ezra and the other children. Of course, this was another form of Luna, after all, the creators couldn't make a definitive leap into the real world, they needed a direct cause.
James and even Desmond and Luna's children never knew about it, Desmond never shared the truth.
Yet it was clear that there was going to be a war.
Chaos, the top of the five main creators, the one who created everything, was in a not state, passive, neither seeking nor opposing war. However, there was the woman with the squirrel ears who stood next to Luna.
Yet only one of the other four chose to stand by the tower, and that was Luna herself. After all, the woman with the squirrel ears was only helping Luna because she loved her, not because she cared about the tower.
The reason why she was so active in the tower was to try to prevent the dangers that were approaching the tower every day, in short, Luna made herself an enemy in the eyes of all the gods and goddesses in the tower just for James, her descendant, and she was the one who sent all these dangers to James, even if their existence was unknown.
Luna was a cosmic being who gave Chaos the greatest help in the creation of the Supreme Dragons.
This was the lineage from which James was descended, why he existed even though he didn't "exactly" have a father.
James' mother knew Luna, who had existed as a spirit, making it possible for James to take on flesh because Luna herself had made the choice that James was the one to enter the tower.
Because more than two million years after the great war, the danger inside the tower had paused and outsiders waited as if it had never existed.
This meant that the current state of the tower was the exact time for James to enter the tower. That's why James' mother was given the man she had always wanted, and it became possible for Leona, the spirit created by Luna and Desmond and his bloodline, to have a child.
This child was none other than James.
In the battle that would decide the fate of the tower, James would not only have to fight against low-level cosmic monsters from outside the tower, but he would also have to face an army created by two top-tier creators.
Even if James' fate was self-written, Desmond, and mostly Luna herself, had written a few important points for James himself on his destiny chart.
How James would get there was entirely up to him, but one thing was certain, and that was that young James would get there. Sooner or later.
This explains why Desmond knew so much and why he was trying to change the tower while fighting for the so-called "humans".
The Fallen Gods had become what they were because the other two higher creators wanted them that way. Chaos, who was not pro-war, could always create another tower, even if his children and creations died, he could take their souls and save them, after all, he was a hyper-power without an opponent, even if the other creators, including Luna, opposed him, Chaos could destroy each of them with a snap of his fingers.
This meant that it was impossible for the remaining 4 creators not to have a war between them.
This means that the only reason Desmond fully helped the humans was not because he hated the Fallen Gods, but because he knew what would happen in the future and wanted to raise the level of humanity in the tower for James' arrival.
In short, his goal was to create an environment where James could grow stronger at HYPER speed.
"You didn't have to kill them though, they were going to get their hands on something bigger to make James stronger." the squirrel-eared woman complained.
Luna turned to the woman and said, "It could kill him, the last thing they did made him spend the last of what the tower owed him, he's on his own now."
The squirrel-eared woman shook her head and said, "Your love for James will be what kills him in the future. If you keep him like this even though you want him to thrive, what can he do in the future when our brothers attack him? Remember, Chaos created us because many eternities had to be controlled and the balance of life and death had to be maintained. We chose to fight with it, to conquer it. Your love for him will be what kills him."
Luna shook her head when she heard those words and then after a long moment, she smiled in a way that surprised the squirrel-eared woman, "James is my blood...my blood and the blood of the love of my life, how can I continue to watch him suffer? How could I not love him?"
The squirrel-eared woman chuckled and then said, "He will have to learn everything when the time comes, even now you are watching him, his growth, every step he takes, every breath he takes. When that time comes, Luna, you may not be the one to hold James when he realizes the enormity of the responsibility that has been placed upon him. After all, he has a wife, and with her a huge family. Desmond's family is now James' family."
Luna continued to smile after these words and then said, "I am aware of this, the future will show everything. All I ask is that he continues to grow in power safely and quickly. He has already achieved the status of the lowest god, the war is years away, and I am sure that when the time comes he will have the power of Nyx, the might of Desmond, and the determination of his own heart." then, holding out her hand to the squirrel-eared woman, she added, "It's time to go." they have already spend a lot of time inside the tower after all.
With that, they passed through the gateway they had come through and went back the way they had come...
