The Top Omega Hunter Wants a Quiet Life [BL]-Chapter 169: Ch : This is goodbye- Part 4

"Go. He is calling for you. We have no right to cross this threshold any longer. Good luck."

One of the Theos told me as he stepped back. The other looked regretful to see me leave as well. He tried to reach out toward me and I unconsciously reached back.

As soon as the alpha realized what he was doing, he pulled himself back with a blush on his face.

"Tsk, stop looking here. Our omega called for you. Hurry up and head in there."

He told me and I felt a chuckle leave my throat. I knew that this place was not real. It was just an illusion that the dungeon had made to confuse me.

And yet, I found it endearing. I wanted to stay in this place a little longer. I wanted to bask in the glow of this place a little more...

’Come and I shall tell you the truth you seek. The memories you have buried in the back of your mind...it’s time to bring them forward.’

The voice told me and I focused on it next. When I turned to look at the two Theos, they were gone from behind me. The world had also turned grayish white, telling me I had no place to head but forward.

So without much hesitation, I entered the final door where the truth awaited me. I kept walking and walking until I reached the final clearing. There was nowhere for me to walk but this room.

I took a deep breath before I called out to the entity that had guided me this far.

"Hey, are you there? I am right where you wanted me to be. Now, come out, would you?"

I asked and there was a soft chuckle before I felt something softly landing on their feet not too far away from me. The kid had my face and my eyes.

Looking at the kid felt like looking at a mirror... a mirror that showed me a decade or so younger physically.

"Have you come here to know the truth? Or to stop the dungeon collapse? Or is it both?"

The entity asked and I felt my voice get stuck in my throat. The familiar energy that surrounded me made me want to close my eyes and fall asleep. The charm of this place was trying to lure me into a false sense of security.

And yet, I felt helpless to resist it.

"Who...are you? Are you...me?"

I asked, hesitating because I did not know whether I wanted an answer or not from the entity in front of me. My fast-beating heart felt afraid of what this all meant for me.

The child in front of me just chuckled once more, their eyes looking at me with pity and something hidden.

"Don’t worry about who I am. Even if I say that I am not you, you are not going to believe me, right? After all, you seem to have made up your mind already about this."

The child asked and I took in a sharp breath.

That was the truth. I had made up my mind about this, but I still felt nervous. It told me that there was no need for me to know the truth.

Ignorance was bliss, but even that bliss could become tiring at times. I could feel it in my bones—that tiredness trying to swallow me as I tried to fight against it.

My young mirror image chuckled in front of me before he patted the seat for me to sit down on.

"Come, and I will tell you a story. The world in here has frozen in time, and now we have the luxury of time to discuss what we want. So allow me to unburden you."

The younger me told me and my body moved to sit beside him.

As soon as I got settled in, the younger me gave me a smile before he looked at his hands. He looked flushed and hesitant, but his eyes turned determined quickly.

"Let’s see... where should I start our conversation from? Let’s see... do you know the story of the beginning of the universe? Even if you do, just listen to me about it once more."

The omega told me and I closed my open mouth. I needed to hear what the younger had to say.

"In the starting, there were three energies that converged to take form. Two of them merged to form a single entity while the other took form to balance them. The three co-existed and created the worlds and connected them with small passages called dungeons."

"Soon, these worlds began to worship these entities, and in return, those entities looked after these worlds. It was a mutually beneficial relationship for both sides... at first. But then, conflict started. The harmony between the three entities drove them apart and they all created a race dedicated to them."

"Out of all, the entity made to balance the twins was the only one to give freedom to its subjects, and it caused even more conflict until the twin entities lost their mind and caused their partner to sacrifice themselves to stop the rampage."

"What do you think the twins did when they lost the one they cared for? Of course, they plotted to bring him back. But it was no easy task because the soul and power had already fragmented into the whole world. So they started to collect the power and concentrate."

"They lost their own form and created pillars known as high priests/priestesses to take over for them and to bring them all back. And now, the time of revival is close."

I listened to that story and felt something in the back of my mind stir. A part of me told me that I should know this story. It was so familiar that it made my brain itch.

"This story... is it about Theo?... and me?"

I asked, but the entity telling me the story just chuckled as he looked at me. The amusement in his eyes made me unsettled.
