Chapter 282: Extra Story: Elijah's Last Night and Thor's Farewell
(This was supposed to be this novel's last chapter, but because I wasn't sure on where to put this part, I decided to make it a Extra Chapter.)
On the last day before Elijah's journey to the past, he woke up in his huge bed and saw he was the only one in the room.
"Oh, right. They had gone prepare the banquet." Yawen, Aina, Chloe and Sarina had left the bed very early to prepare the farewell banquet for him who was about to enter his longest journey yet. Leaving the bed, Elijah opened the windows and went to the balcony with a full view of the bustling New Work City bellow him.
It has been many years since the battle with the World King, and the Supreme Origin Cosmic realm has been flourishing more than ever. Gods and Celestials were nothing but a shadow of the past now that the Masters of Origin took over, and every living being of this cosmic realm and many others became part of the Origin System.
Since everything was set on its right path, Elijah and his wives all escaped to earth in order to live a calm and peaceful life without having to deal with matters of life and death, as well as the management of the whole universe as well as the many cosmic realms that joined the Origin Path.
It was the year of 2067 and Earth had just taken its first step in intergalactic exploration having discovered intelligent life in other planets, which didn't came as surprise given that the existence of the King of Time who created the immense tower in the middle of the ocean and bestowed then with the power of origin, it was clear that for this being to exist, other sorts of life existed as well.
Elijah left his apartment building and had coffee in a near Starb*cks before returning home and changing his clothes. In this planet, he assumed the identity of a professor specialized in origins, and would give guidance to those who just got their origin from the tower by teaching them how this new and amazing element could benefit humanity.
"Everyone should be there already, I guess I should go as well." Inside his apartment, Elijah looked around before he suddenly vanished into thin air.
When Elijah reappeared, he was already in the imperial palace of the Void Clan in the abyss, or more precisely the Abyssal Galaxy since he himself made sure to make the Abyss become part of the cosmic realm. But because he didn't want it to be too far, he moved the Andromeda galaxy away and put the Abyssal galaxy in its place.
"Uncle E-lijah!" "Uncle!"
He just arrived and heard two voices, two children, a boy and a girl running towards him. Their both had a light blue skin and blonde hair.
"Lili! Kai! Come give uncle a hug!" Elijah runs forward and caught the two children in his arms. They were the twins Luna gave birth to a few years after the last battle, everyone doted on them like Elijah himself, but from them all his son Elliot was surely the one who doted on them the most.
"Lili, Kai, where is your big brother Elliot?" Elijah patted their hair as he asked about his son. Since then boy grew up, it became impossible to track that brat without using his Supreme Time Origin.
"Big bro told us he found an interesting Cosmic Realm, but that he would return in time for the banquet."
"Then it's fine." Holding the little twins in his arms, Elijah brought them into the palace as they headed to the Party Hall where everyone was preparing the banquet.
Luna was in command of the kitchen in order to prepare all the dishes in time while her husband went to invite others to the banquet. Yawen and Aina were talking while having the servants bring in the flowers and other things to decorate the party hall while the Void King was chatting and his son, Yakhan has been brought back using the only life he had left of the twelve. contemporary romance
That night was amazing, the food was great and the company even better, they even had a karaoke contest where Elijah and Zaid won by singing Take on Me (by A-Ha). On that same night, Elijah took some time to drink by himself in the top of the palace as he stared at the stars in the distance when he open his mouth.
"Granny, do you need something?" Turning around, there was a white-haired woman standing there, her eyes seemed to contain a lot of emotions as she stepped forward.
"Ell, I know you will be going soon, so I thought I should clarify things first as well as ask for something."
From her tone of voice, he already knew it was something serious and nodded. "Okay, you can ask anything you want."
"Good..." Sif breathed deeply before continuing, "Many years ago, the existence of Demigods was really common because of the many wars between the different clans and because of that, Gods would reincarnate, but not all of them would recover their memories. Some would grow old and have families without even knowing they are a deity. This happened with many of us, including my husband Thor."
"When I reincarnated the last time, no one knew I was the Reincarnation of Sif, and when he sent his disciple to protect me, he didn't tell him as well. I didn't know why he would do something like that when he knew there was a chance the two of us would fall in love. In the day of the accident when my husband lost his divinity and died, I felt such a intense pain in my heart but I didn't understand."
"Truth be told, even when Odin told me and Damian, I mean Edward about my true identity, I didn't have any of these memories he told me about and the me at that time only felt as if he was talking about another person other than me."
"Recently, when Edward recovered his memories and broke my divinity in the same way that happened that day and I survived, I finally managed to see the truth as I heard a message he left for me the moment I recovered my memories. Thor, my husband already knew everything that would happen." When Sif waved her hands, there was a golden piece of paper in her hand.
In the paper were written the words: "I'm sorry my love. If you are reading this letter, it means everything I was told was true. One day, I heard the voice of an oracle deep within my mind, this voice showed my the future and told me about the day of the death and what would happen after it. I was skeptical at the time, but I couldn't help but have a slight fear that his words may come true, especially when I met the same person who would become my disciple. So I'm writing this letter in case that voice wasn't lying. I love you, Thor."
'Oh no...' Only at this moment Elijah realized that he was involved in what happened with Thor. "Granny..."
Elijah was about to apologize when Sif interrupted him. "Don't say sorry. I know the Oracle my husband described is you, but I don't want you to feel sorry. No matter what you showed him, It as I who wronged him. It is just that I heard from Yawen that my husband, he's reincarnated in another cosmic realm, isn't he?"
Elijah thought for a while before he nodded. "Yes, I don't know which one and in which period in time he's in, but I'm sure he's out there somewhere."
"I see, if you met him out there and he doesn't remember anything, then you can leave it like that, but if he does remember his past, can you send him a message?"
Soon in the morning, in the Void clan's plaza, all the friends and those close to Elijah were waving at him from afar who was standing on a tall platform. Yawen, Aina, Chloe and Sarina as well as Elliot, Claire, Cassie and his other children were all standing in the air, crying as a huge hole appeared in the sky and Elijah rushed inside it before it closed.
They didn't know how long it will take, or even if there is a chance of reincarnation for him. Only that the true journey of his was just starting.
.....
Many, many years later, Everything in the Void Clan's Palace was as normal as ever when a huge hole opened in the sky. Yawen who was watering the plants rose her face in shock before she started running.
Forces and people from all over the universe than noticed this movement in space-time rushed to the Void Star. Everyone had their eyes locked on that huge hole in the sky, but the person who walked out of it wasn't the person they were waiting for. Instead, it was a man with deep crimson hair and skin, and eyes that were like ruby.
The man had an illusory form as if he could disappear at any moment, however the power he gave off wasn't any lower than the one those people like Yawen felt from the Time King, which means this guy was close to the same level as Elijah!
"Who is that Guy?"
"Is he an enemy?"
Everyone was tense when they saw this man in the sky, asking themselves if he was an enemy or not. But the man seemed to not care about what they were thinking as his eyes, he searched through the crowd as if looking for something.
Seeming to have fought what he was looking for, the man vanished and appeared before Yawen, or more precisely the old woman standing near to her. Staring at him closely the crowd was shocked, the man had a strange easygoing and calm aura around him as his eyes were focused on the old lady.
The man saw the confusion in the old lady's eyes and raised his hand, as a blood red hammer appeared in the air. Seeing the hammer, the old lady, Sif was shocked. Its color may be different, but how could she forget the patterns on the hammer her husband carried with him for so long.
"Thor... It is you?" The woman burst in tears as she tried to control herself as she tried to touch his face only to see her hands pass through him as if he didn't exist. However, the man seemed to be unmoved by her actions, only having a light smile on his face.
"So you do remember me now. Well, but you aren't completely right. I am Thor, this is true, but Thor isn't me. The body you are seeing isn't the real me, the place I'm in is in danger and I'm only here because that man sent my image here."
'That man?' Yawen and the other wandered who this man he was referring to may be, but they kept silence. Especially those who knew Thor back then, they were shocked witless at how strong he became while he was away.
"I know you must have discovered the truth by now, and you would probably be filled with regret and guilt. I only agreed to return here because I want you to know that everything that happened that day, it was my fault, not yours. I'm pretty satisfied with the life I have now, I may even come visit one day when thing are calmer on my side." When he said that, the man appeared near the hole in the sky once again, but before he headed inside, he turned once again.
"Oh, I forgot to mention something. The man who sent me here, he said he was sorry that he couldn't come as well, and that he had found the way to ensure his reincarnation. It may just take a while. Farewell..." Saying his last words the illusory figure of Thor jumped in the huge hole in the space-time and vanished.
