The Bad, the good and the true

The second day came to an end where this time Ikaros couldn't be seen on the field. While the eyes of the Goddess searcher everywhere for him.

During the ending moments of the second day. A loud horn was blown by both sides as a sign that the day had now come to an end.

The sun had set and now the sea of blood which had turned completely red had now become much more darker.

Today's casualties. Many more families which survived yesterday were wiped out.

Their names are :

Daron clan, divine phoenix clan, sol strider family, leh tester Ada family. Volkanzyotes, Reagan family, and finally

Livias entire clan had bit the dust. Livia was in the back rank so she was the only survivor.

Livia had isolated herself from everyone. And even Jay and McElroy tried to talk out things with her and they were also flat out rejected. With some very harsh words. Not fit for the environment.

Jay was reminded of the time in Fort Bronx Livia had gotten hurt and suffered an injury. At that time Jay wasn't there for his teammates because he rushed ahead to kill the general which he wasn't able to be there for her.

It was the second time that his comrades had gotten hurt.

But this time it wasn't an physical treatable injury she was mentally scarred. As she had to see her entire clan get slaughtered brutally by demons while their blood dripped from their bodies drop by drop. And the monsters in the sea claiming their bodies for themselves to fit their own bellies.

Even Ragnar was killed by a demon . And he goes by the identity of Raijin

Jay and McElroy tried to console Livia but her heart had closed off from the world. All they could hope was that she won't end her own life shortly after.

Livia would stay with the Matria. And she would be accompanied by female guards twenty four by seven.

.

The massive casualties were seen from the soldiers of Heaven. Even some solders started to openly state the fact that if there were any soldier nearby. They would flat out ignore the human soldiers even if they had stuck a knife in their back.

There was one more controversy that Jay and McElroy both were collhding with the Asuras. As many had witnessed them talk casually with the Heavenly Demon. And both of them flat out avoided each other. But this theory was not much appreciated.

Since their neutrality which they advertise openly was considered. So as they are neutral it was evident that they hold not bad blood. And had no major connections to the demons before the parade of a hundred demons.

They had become aces on the battlefield.

With confirmed kill of a entire battalion. In a single day.

They would be treated as aces of aces. But they were nowhere to. Be seen. But by some they were seen as battle hungry demons. Or the devil himself in context.

Even like yesterday no one could find them.

After the war ended they left the town entirely and there were no signs of camping at all.

The Goddess Lumina once again ascended to the Heavens with her entire force ascending beyond the clouds.

The most major losses were suffered by the soldiers of Heaven themselves.

On the demon island.

We return to the same scene as before.

Ikaros having a luxurious dinner. And enjoying it very much with a smile on his face. And Viva joining him. Ikaros chowed down the food like there was not tommorow. While Viva ate with a. Softer tone making her seem like a noble person with well polished mannerism.

Viva :

I don't understand today's battle as well. Why were now demons involved. I thought this was only going to be a fight which would be participated by Asura.

Ikaros :

Before this had any God's arrived to the battlefield by any chance.

Viva :

Honestly no. Where I come from the gods weren't even interested in the slightest. This was just a conflict issue raised by humans alone.

Ikaros :

When that girl got involved even the demons weren't able to stay put. So I just had them go at it.

Viva :

Whats your relation with Lumina.

Ikaros :

It's a very long story to say the least. But you could say that I had an active role in her growing up. And I am much older than her. To me she's just a child who's just Born and you're someone who not even conceived yet.

Viva :

There was something else I found in the archives.

Viva showed Ikaros a photo. It was a photo where Ikaros was standing side by side with the God of Light Luminos.

And there was a small child on Luminos's shoulder that being Lumina. This photo seemed to be taken in a lush green field and there was ample of sunlight Means approximately after rain had ended.

Ikaros :

This photo was taken with an analogue camera. But I wonder how did you managed to get even that. It should be stored deep in the archives. Then another report you get with the exact same conditions.

At that time we were indeed friends. Luminos was someone was very much like his nature filled with light and a very kind hearted person that's why he was liked by everyone.

At one point we were the best of best friends.

Viva :

Then what happened. What drive you so much to kill your own best friend.

Ikaros :

At one point your father were going to handle the task. But I had to take it upon myself. Everything for a brighter future.

Where you will be born.

Ikaros :

I think we are done with my interrogation for today.

Remember one thing. Everything we are doing is for a chance of obtaining that Future.

And with what we know now. You can assume yourself as the radical. Which is going to make waves.

At first I didn't have any intention to get the humans and demons colliding with each other in the field. I wanted to get them safely off the island

That's the future you're from.

But now a new future is ahead of us.

A path filled with blood. Where everyone will not be saved.

In a game. There are two different endings.

The Good Ending and The True Ending.

And we're going to be gunning for the second one. In this timeline of ours.

Now then sit back and enjoy the show.

Viva the time traveler.
