Divinity: Against the Godly System-Chapter 627: Late to the party

"The Lord of Time won't respond? What did he mean by that?"

Janus's last words left everyone confused. They didn't understand what he was trying to imply with his words.

"I think he meant that you shouldn't count the Lord of Time to help you," the God of Foresight chimed in.

"Why won't he? Is there something you're hiding from us?" The Gods asked.

"I'm not hiding anything. Actually, this news has already spread in Heaven. I also heard it. Apparently the time has become unstable. The Palace of Lord of Time has fallen," the God of Foresight replied.

"The Paradox Palace has fallen? How?"

"I think it's because time has become unstable. Since time was stable because of the Lord of Time, the Paradox Palace existed perfectly fine. Now that he's gone, it failed to keep itself stabilized. I think that must be why Janus was saying it."

"The Lord of Time has fallen? Who... It's this Chaos again, isn't it? First, he took out the Lord of Space and now the Lord of Time? He's taking out powerful enemies that contributed the most in the battle last time! He wants to take all his threats out one by one!" The Goddess of Destiny exclaimed, forming a theory.

"If that's the case, I think we all know who's going to be his next target! The person who contributed the most in the battle against him after the Lord of Time and Lord of Space... We should keep an eye on him! Chaos would probably come to take him out too!" The God of War let out, frowning

"You mean Goddess of Chains and Barriers? Her chains restricted the movement of Chaos, annoying him the most." The Goddess of Water chimed in, wondering if they were thinking about the same person.

"That's right! If he's going by the order, he'll go for her next!" the Lord of Flames agreed.

"It won't be good if we all go there. We need to inform other gods and bring them together as well! We can't focus on only one thing! Let's do it like this. Three of us will go to meet the Goddess of Chains," The Goddess of Destiny said, making a slight change in the plans.

" The other four shall inform the other gods and make sure we're all on the same page about the level of threat before us!" She continued.

As everything was decided, all the gods left. Only the Goddess of Destiny was left behind with the God of Foresight.

"Is there any other information you can offer us that can be helpful to us? Like where Chaos is? Or where he'll appear in the future? Or what will the outcome of our war be? Will we win again?" She asked the God of Foresight.

"You know, our powers rarely work on other gods. You're the Goddess of Destiny, but even you can't see the Destiny of other gods. Similarly, my foresight is only limited." the God of Foresight answered.

"Now that Chaos has entered the picture, I can't see anything. He's much more powerful than me, after all. I'm but an ordinary monk," he continued.

"Tell me if you're able to see anything," the Goddess of Destiny said before she also disappeared, leaving the God of Foresight alone.

The God of Foresight sighed, sitting back on the ground. He again closed his eyes and started meditating.

"It looks like you had guests just now? Did I miss the party?" Just as the God of Foresight closed his eyes, he heard someone's voice filling the room.

It sounded like a male voice.

He slowly opened his eyes, observing the man in front of him.

"Chaos...." He muttered. "May I ask what brought you here?"

"Can't I come to meet an old friend?" Chaos asked, smiling.

"Do you even have friends left now?" The God of Foresight asked, shaking his head. "Are you here to kill me?"

"Why should I kill you? You are already going to die in less than a year. I won't steal that one year from you," Chaos answered calmly.

His words stunned the God of Foresight.

"How did you know about that?" he asked, surprised.

"You're not the only one who can see such things. So, how close are you to selecting your heir? Have you decided on one yet?" Chaos asked.

"I've decided on one. But I still have some time to teach him more before passing my inheritance to him. But I'm sure you didn't come here to talk about me. Why did you come here then? You must be angry that I exposed your brother?" God of Foresight inquired.

"Upset? What made you think I didn't want that to happen? I mean, I'll have to be stupid to not take you into consideration," Chaos answered, smiling.

"Hmm? Your brother is really good at acting then. I seriously thought that he didn't expect this development. What is your scheme actually?" God of Foresight asked, frowning.

"Scheme? There's no scheme here. Why is everyone suspicious of me?" Chaos let out, laughing.

"Tell me directly. What do you want from me? And who is hiding behind you?" The God of Foresight asked.

"Why don't you see for yourself?" Chaos asked, stepping aside.

As soon as he stepped aside, the God of Foresight saw the person that was hiding behind Chaos.

Seeing that person, his eyes opened wide. "H-how could it be? It's impossible! There's no way!"

"Hmm? You weren't that surprised even when finding out that Chaos was alive. Why is my life so shocking to you, Epimetheus?" The person asked the God of Foresight.

" His survival was shocking, but yours....? Your entire origin was destroyed by him! Even with rebirth, you couldn't have come back to life! This is Impossible! Absolutely Impossible! How could you come back after all that? How!!" The God of Foresight asked, almost yelling.

It was the first time he had lost his composure.

"Let alone me; even he would be shocked to know that you're alive! You'll bring a calamity on all of us, bigger than anyone could expect! He would certainly come down if he finds out about your survival!" he exclaimed.

"Why are you so scared of that guy?" Chaos asked, smiling.

"Don't tell me you forgot! You are one of the strongest in this world. But even you aren't anything before him! Don't forget how helpless you were before him! You must always remember that!" The God of Foresight exclaimed.

"Not only you, as were all helpless before his aura! If he had stayed here for even a moment longer, reality would have been destroyed! How can you forget!" he continued.
