The Truth Uncovered

"we have a few things to discuss?"

"Yes young one, it is to do with your history and what that would create from within your wife."

"You...What have you done!"

"Calm yourself boy! for i have not laid a hand on your beloved, however after what i will tell you. You will wish for me to."

Diablo stared at the short man trying to figure out why he would say that ' i know i've been cursed by some Gods that hated my parents willingness to love even though they were opposites, two parts that should never of crossed pressed together, disgraces. what else could there be?' Diablo glanced blankly but then shook his thoughts off the irrelevance of what he did and didn't know and chose to listen to the old man, 'the quicker this goes the quicker my wife will deliver our baby safely' he though and gave a small nod indicating the old man to speak.

"Ah! excellent! now as you can see there are no longer any civilians for i have taken the privilege of putting everyone in this town in a dream state inside a pocket dimension, they are safe and away from any danger simply sleeping soundly so we are free to talk as much as we need to."

"Then by all means, speak."

"Hmm this might take some time so why don't we make ourselves comfortable?."

Then Apollo very casually waves his hand and an incredibly strong aura of light appeared and took the form of two chairs sitting opposite each other 5-10 yards apart.

Diablo frowned at this display of unneeded use of magic and quite a costly amount of it too. " I assumed you Gods valued your mana?"

"Pfft Bah!" Apollo started to crack up at that comment. He then took a few slow steps and sat down on his chair exhaling an exhausted sigh of relief "young one once you get even half my age you realise that pointless things like that stop mattering. I've become these old bag of bones of my own volition as you well know i'm an Olympus God of healing and so i could very easily revert back to my prime however i choose to remain old purely because i've learnt things change. Nothing ever stays the same and age my dear boy is the same".

Diablo took a few seconds staring at the old man until he moved his legs and sat opposite the man in a look to indicate he was ready to listen.

"Alright. Now i'm sure you know of the common story of the 25 gods cursing you through underhanded measures caused by someone that hated your family greatly yes?"

Diablo nods quickly allowing Apollo to continue.

"Then do you also know what happened to both your parents?"

"They both had their divinity and immortality stolen from them, right after i was born then got killed or thrown into separate deserted islands living alone, i never was able to locate either of them.." Diablo said looking greatly pained.

"...I'm truly sorry young one, i wasn't able to save them."

"Before they killed your parents off they used the blood of your parents as a catalyst in order to curse you"

"As you may already know you are forgotten by everyone the minute you get somewhat attached to them. But that's not all. The curse was actually intended for your child."

"WHAT!" Diablo stood in a rage.

"Calm yourself boy. Let me finish"

"It was intended for your child because the moment your wife gives birth all that pent up dark magic will split a crack in the sky and unleash every monstrosity imaginable"

"Why....why...WHY! Why go so far. What could my parents have done for our family to deserve something like this?"

"..."

Apollo kept his mouth shut and allowed Diablo to vent out his anger and sadness, after he was done and just staring blankly at the ground Apollo opened his mouth once more.

"There is a way for your child to be reborn into another universe one parallel to this one where there aren't any demons or gods... well none that have been proven, it would be just beliefs of different cultures trying to find a deeper meaning in their existences. A world where your child could be free from the infinitely more dangerous war that is to come the minute it be born.

Diablo looked up slowly, "what's the catch?".

"You and your wife must give your lifeforce up. Burning this whole universe including the creatures living inside of it , this would be the equivalent exchange of sending the baby to a world where creatures like us are a mere work of fiction to them".

"Then how could you know of such a world, and if you know of it, how would i know others haven't tried to do the same?".

"I have been around for a very long time young one, i have seen gods come to power while others have fallen into their greed..." Apollo sighed heavily then began speaking again.

"For the longest time i have been one of them until i saw it.. i saw the future of what was and what would come, and i decreed no more"

"Young one are you familiar with the multiverse theory?"

"The multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them. But this hasn't been proven fully even with the humans new magical capabilities. How are you so sure it is?" Diablo inquired doubtfully.

"young one your comparing human magic to the magic wielded by the Gods, the humans have barely scratched the surface of the infinitely deeper hole we've been digging at for eons".

"But finally...

..We have finally reached the bottom."
