Maiden In White

"Hah! How's that?!!" I cannot quite remove my smile after what I just did. Perhaps I was just happy to still be alive after being near death. Man, what an archangel. To be this strong could only mean his creator would be too godly. "See? Don't underestimate a god in his own dimension!!!.. Huh??."

Trapped in the godly solidified liquid ground, he looks like he's sulking!!! "Hey no hard feelings. Of course I'd do such a thing. You just killed me you know!!! I should be the one sulking right now!!"

"Puee!.." What's with that attitude! Is he a child?!

"Hey, you lost so better listen to what I say, okay?.." I guess I better just trap him inside a timeless capsule to stop him from doing anything.

*Advertisement! Timeless Capsule!*

Timeless Capsules are items where time doesn't move. It's a small capsule like item colored blue with silver lines on one half, and green with gold lines on the other. To activate it, simply twist the blue one up and the green part down, then throw it forward, and it will separate, creating a one and half meter diameter sphere-shaped antigravity hologram.

This is good for storing items which you like to stay the same for fifty years. Yes, fifty years! So if you cook fresh sausages and suddenly decided to eat something else. Simply put your sausages inside the sphere and let it float, spin both sides the reverse and it will absorb the sphere along with its contents inside, reverting back to its tiny form with your sausages in it.

This item can also be used for transporting plenty of items into your pocket. For example you want to bring ten luggage with you on a trip, Timeless Capsules could shrink them all down for you. See? Pretty efficient right?

Friendly warning: Only store unconscious gods inside, or else they could easily break free.

And so with this Timeless Capsule in my hand, I should just open it and throw it at him. As I looked at him, he was simply sleeping out his predicament. Quite convenient of him for an attacker. As I twisted it open, he woke up and blinked his sleepy eyes three times before looking up at me.

"Uhm..." he sounded a bit sleepy.

"What?" what could he possibly say after all this?

"I need to pee..." seriously?!?!

"No need, I'll be trapping you inside a timeless capsule now so you'll need to do that in the justicegods station," I then continued opening it and threw it at him. It then opened up a one and half diameter antigravity sphere as told by the advertisement, only that... Erhhh.. I somehow used the wrong one.

"Hehhh? What are these floating things?" immobilized, he then began sucking them to his mouth.

"Awawawah!! Stop that!!" I immediately picked up the things one by one. "I knew it... These are Almerra's home-made bento..."

"Bento? What's that? Sounds weird..." he looked up with a curious face.

These are food boxes Almerra used to make when we were still classmates at college twenty years ago. She became a fanatic of that certain world's culture during the Otherworldly Tour when we were still in training. She began copying their cultural lifestyle ever since. Why did I not eat these anyway? I somehow forgot the reason why... Plus there's like five of them...

"I smell food inside," he was sniffing his nose, making it twitch up and down.

"Haaa... Anyway, I need to take these away. To give room for you here," I then created in a hurry a small table and placed the bento boxes there. Now then...

"Are you really going to hand me over to the justicegods?" his face was more serious than ever. "You won't change your decision?.."

"No more," after I said this, I paused for a while before looking at him. "Can you at least know your name?"

"None..." does he really have no name?

"Then your creator's name at least?.."

"None..." now that's obviously a lie.

Well, everything will be done once I take him into the justicegods custody. There he will be trialed based on his actions. I doubt he'll be proven innocent after I report him. In terms of proof, I have everything I need here in my memory recorder, basically you call this brain. Well, as for us, this is a multifunctional concentration of EP.

We call it Center Mind. It's basically just the brain in your concept. Only that it can replay all events seen by the eye through projecting the scene seen by the eye via a holographic screen. These are never wrong, which means the Central Mind never makes mistakes and will always view what the eyes has seen before. Even illusions won't be recorded since these are directly projected via the eye. Illusions are data directly brought to the CM without passing through the eyes first. That's why those won't be recorded.

Anyway, I have to close the capsule now so I could take him to justice, I should say.

"I see... however," I looked at him and he's somehow looked desperate. "I cannot just end it here..."

Huh? Suddenly I was blown away by a massive force coming from him. It was so strong and the energy doesn't feel right. Instantly, he had already broken free, like everything around him was gone, no, deleted. Like all those never existed.

"I'm sorry... Mero" he's apologizing, to who? "This is how it should be..."

"Wha-" just before I could do anything. I became stiff, no everything became stiff. This isn't time stop, could it be another distortion? I could just reverse time agai-Aaaaaaahhhh!!!! It hurts!!! Where?!! Why?!!! It just hurts but I don't know where why and how... There are suddenly flashes of red and black lights in total disarray. I see him, no I see something so humongous.. A dark humanoid figure so big. All of this happened in a mere split second? Wha- Aaaahhh!!! What is this pain?!! It's not just pain, still I cannot move, I feel like I don't... I don't... I don't exist...

Why are you apologizing!!! You fool!!! I don't care, what happens next, I don't even know what I am now, I know nothing... Why am I thinking? What am I doing? What is speech? sound? thought? I don't care!!!

"I WANT TO LIVE!!!!!" Even for just a microsecond (what am I thinking), even for only a nanosecond (why am I fighting?) , even if no one knows (who...), even if no one cares (am...), "I WILL EXIST!!!" Just then, I feel so weak but I know I am me, and for some reason was very relieved.

"Huh? How did you?.." he's looking confused. I too am very confused I don't even know what happened. Except that I exist! "No!!"

"Wha-haaa!!" I... got stabbed... "Ackkhh!!" I immediately teleported away into my castle.

I knelt down from the pain in my stomach... No worries since I can heal myself easy... was my expectation. Yet for some reason I cannot... I don't know but the wound, the data of it is unlike any other. It's that sword... It's a nonexistent matter. Not just that, I don't feel like myself... Not that I am sick but, I feel like I'm inside someone else's body. No, it's my existence data. It's messed up. Data alteration? Only a god could do that!

I'll just explain it shortly. Existence Data is like our identity or like it is every single thing that makes me me. It's kind of like DNA but not entirely. It's basically our very self, our weaknesses, strengths, fears, likes, and other god etceteras.

The reason why I cannot heal myself is because I am no longer familiar with my own Existence Data. I cannot think straight, probably because of what just happened? Plus this wound is draining everything in me. Ah! I messed up! Th-this is a void wound!!! It's not something anyone could just inflict to anyone. Just who is that guy?!?!"

He's been saying weird stuff too. Who was that Mero person... Ackhh! The pain is getting bigger, this data alteration is annoying.. Without it, I could've still be fine as long as I block the void wound. As of now I have placed a barrier around my wound so the void would devour it first.

I decided to call Rohmn for help when... I suddenly fell to the ground. I don't know what just happened but, it's like I'm completely powerless.

How humiliating, to be like this in my own dimension. Just what is that guy? Why does he possess such unimaginable strength? This is my fault for thinking of myself too high, while looking down on the enemy. If only I didn't let my guard down, I surely could've won. No, no more, what's done is done. I think I'll just lay down here... Funny, I haven't even finished this island. If only I knew I'd end up like this, I should've kept making shiny gems. I should've told Rohmn that it was me who broke his godtop. And Almerra, sorry I really forgot why I never ate your bentos... I'm sorry supposed-to-exist beings from me, I won't be able to make you all.

I then felt someone's presence appeared in front of me. Desperately, I turned to lie on my back to at least who it was.

"You realize now, god?" He then pointed that crimson sword of his directly at my chest. "You won't be able to revive through the Existence Core."

"Ahahaha... Really? Now that's... a bother..." I knew he did something to me. But it mattered not now... I closed my eyes fully accepting defeat...

Wait... it's not right...

He is about to slash my head off.

No, I cannot allow it to be this way...

The blade is about to go down.

No! I cannot die!! At least not yet, because... because.....

I raised my cold shaking hand on the air. I felt like he was stunned by my sudden movement.

"What are you doing?.."

I focused my mind, gathered all the EP I could, then randomly, without thinking of what might be. I released my inner desire!!!

"I CANNOT DIE UNLESS I GET MY GEM BACK!!!"

"No! I won't let yo-!"

"I summon thee! Creation!! Archangel!!"

I felt his blade was able to hit my neck... Just the very edge of my neck but did not manage to do a cut. I opened my eyes and saaaaaawww!!!!!

Standing right there was a woman all clad in white light. With skin so white, snow pales in comparison. Short soft golden curly hair barely hiding those point ears. Her outfit was so cleanly white with bloodred roses and lace ornaments for decoration. Solid armor on each shoulder as well as on each feet. To top it all off, she stopped the crimson sword with only the tip of her hard-scaled dragon tail from below her dress. As the light gradually faded, what shone were three halos of different colors on her head on top of each other. Her eyes, they each differ in color: gold on the left and crimson on the right. Ooh! She has two swirly ram horns and aaahhhh! A closed vertical third eye. I could probably collapse because of her overall appearance.

Even the enemy was stunned as his usual sleepy eyes widened at the sight of the maiden I just made. Just then, he made a serious expression and leaped back.

"My, oh my," ah she's looking at me! "Could you be... my god?"

"Ah... yes..." was all I could say...
