Chapter 110 Time To Face Time

~Pov Howard~ (Third person)

Howard and the human left shortly after they were done negotiating. Like the night Howard arrived, rain was pouring down, outside the old house. Somehow, the house had moved, they were no longer at the old place. Now their in the middle of a forest. With few roads.

" So, why are you part of tmra? I've heard many rumors of you and you don't seem like a man who needs protection of a group." The human said.

" Well you see, life is boring and it's short for most of us. I learned that the hard way. Nowadays, I don't want to be alone. For the thing I'm the most afraid of, is to die one day. With no one coming to my funeral. No one to cry, as they lower my casket. Even if it's stupid, I want to have an impact on this world. I want to be remembered for my good deeds and my bad deeds, I don't want to be another faceless being, who fades with time. I fear being forgotten, I mean who doesn't. Don't you fear being forgotten?" Howard said. He was starring in front of him, int the darkness of the night. No lights brightened the world, no cars on the narrow road.

" Of course I do. But I fear one thing more then that!"

" What is it?"

" I fear that one day, I will be remembered as a monster, who killed friends and enemies alike. I'm already moving towards that direction and I'm going to be honest, I fear it."

" Hmm, I see, I never got your name, my names Howard."

" The names Conan."

" Well then Conan, are you afraid of hight's?"

" What..." Conan tried to say, before Howard grabbed him. Black wings formed on his back and by some miracle, Howards trench coat was undamaged.

Without giving Conan time to protest, Howard took of. Reaching the clouds within milliseconds of takeoff. Leaving a sonic bomb, as the only proof of his existence.

As they flew through the sky, Conan tried to protest through. But the rain filled his mouth, every time he opened it. So Howard created a small barrier, protecting his mouth from the water.

" So where are we going?" Howard asked, as he was just flying for the sake of flying.

" We're going to Clintschjat."

" Oh, Clintschjat, I've heard it's lovely there, this time a year. Have you ever been there Conan?"

" Yes, when I was younger, I lived there."

" Cool, so we're visiting your home, while saving some children. Sounds like a win, doesn't it?"

" Not really, my memories of home, they aren't that great."

" Ah come on, cheer up. There's always something to miss about home, no matter how shitty it was. Do you think we monster had it better?"

" No, I'm not stupid. I know you all had it tough. But so does some humans. So please, let's just focus on the mission!"

" Do as you want, I'm not the one giving orders, am I?"

" No, that would be me. So I better act like it!"

" That's the spirit. Now is there something else you want to say. Or do you want to enjoy the rain in the face, because I know I do!" Howard said, not letting Conan answer before dissipating the barrier. Leaving him to his own demise. While he himself was enjoying it.

After some hours of flying they arrived. Three hours before sunset to be precise. So Howard booked a room for himself and said.

" If you want to search for the kids now, go ahead. But I can't help you and you know it. But hey, if you don't want to do it alone, you can always sleep here with me. Don't worry I only drink the blood of females!" Howard said, while giving Conan a friendly smile.

" No thanks, I'll start looking for the responsible, while you wait for the night." Conan said, as he rushed out of the building, they rented. He seemed quite traumatized from the flight.

" Sure, good luck!" Howard said, as he closed the door and went to sleep.

~Pov Alias~ (Third person)

Hundreds of thousand gods, all of them were gathered at Alias district. But Alias wasn't there, he was still out, grinding his religion. His worshipers returned home, stronger and smarter. As for the ones he had from the different worlds, they stayed. But them splitting was just as good, as it was bad. Now his forces were split and he didn't know what to do. He spent days and nights, working hard, to stop anything bad from happening. He even missed Julias speech to do so.

Some months ago, the angle left the world, but hundreds of demigods took his place. All of them seemed ready to fight and they wanted Alias as a commander. As gods are better at leading. According to them. Alias wanted nothing to do with leading an army of demigods and other mortals, to protect the universe.

But Alias did better then expected. He gained stunning amounts of worshipers, as he conquered world after world.

Alias conquered a whole universe and now had an army of demigods loyal to him. Some were even about to ascend. The small number of hundred, turned to millions, at the end of his journey.

That leads us to the current situation. Hundreds of thousands of demigods ascended at the same time and appeared to the closest thing Alias has to a realm. That being his parents realm.

So his parents left their realm, with no visible fear in their eyes. After all 6/12 could easily kill millions of 3/12 gods. Despite the power difference, a brave soul managed to walk forward and say.

" Mam, do you know where Alias is? We wish to meet him!"

" Why are you looking for my son?"

" He's your son, that's even better. We're all friends of Alias and want to find him. But he doesn't have a real realm yet. So this is the closest thing to it. We recently ascended mam, as you might be able to tell. Please, can you lead us to your son?"

" Fine, but if you try to cause trouble, I will handle you accordingly!"

" Thanks mam, you won't regret this!" The god said happily, while the others nodded, agreeing with what their fellow god said.

~Pov Mc~ (Third person)

Ragnar sat on his throne. He was eating some chips and reading a book from earth. Next to him was Alice. She was also reading a book from earth, but a different one. In front of them was a tv, showing some weird shows, that they loved when they were younger.

After Ragnar was informed of trickster, he decided not to think about it. While trying to create means of defense, just in case. So from now on, anything other then Ragnar , Isabella and Alice, would be attacked in the realm, if they were connected to chaos.

Somehow, Isabella appeared in the room. Ragnar had noticed this some time ago. She was also connected to chaos, on a fundamental level. Almost as deep as Ragnar. But Ragnar didn't think to much of it. After all, he did create her, with the help of the dimension.

" Ragnar, can you please do your job. Julia is having a hard time managing the evil faction. Plus, the leader is nowhere to be found for the moment. Som she's probably out adventuring, trying to find herself, before ascending into the fifth dimension, I know. Already, you might be screaming and yea, already. Unlike us all, she has been absorbing corrupted gods and giants all this time. So, she pretty much speed ran this part of her life. Unlike the rest of us."

" Well to be fair. Xelena and Bennett were both corrupted all this time. But thanks to Paarthadox they didn't just become mindless monsters and when I separated chaos from everything else. It saved that iconic duo and apparently the leader of the evil faction. So hey, that's good. When is she ascending, according to your calculations?"

" She will ascend tomorrow morning, so till then, please help us stabilize an entire faction. Of 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 gods and goddesses!"

" Fine, I'll help you, but don't expect to much. I wanted to spend some time with Alice, not fucking make some trouble children behave."

" Thanks Dad you're the best!" Isabella said, before running of, to do her own thing.

" You know you were just tricked into working right?"

" I know, I fucking know! God damn it!" Sun Ragnar said, before flying away. Presumably of to help Julia.

~Pov Howard~ (Third person)

" Aaaaahhhh." Howard yawned, as he woke up. He did some quick stretches and took on his clothes. Then he stopped holding back his instincts and felt every human in the country and any monster with a decent sense of danger could feel his gaze. But where it came from, so they simply hid.

After finding Conan, Howard hid his powers again and jumped to him. He used a shadow movement skill, so he wouldn't create hundreds of sonic bombs, from his speed.

After some seconds, he appeared next to his new friend.

Conan stood in a cemetery. Some newly plucked flowers laid on an old grave. "Here lyes Ganeshe fliceria. Lived 1872-1999."

" Hello friend, mourning someone?" Howard asked, as he appeared next to Conan.

" Yes, I'm mourning my mother. She died 12 years ago. She died to a human, who hunted monsters. Despite the hatred I had for my mother from young age. I felt emotions I've never felt when I lost her. I went haywire to put it the best way. In this city, there a statue of memorial, mentioning the names of everyone who died in the earth quake 1999 07 08. That's the day mother died and the day I officially became a monster, in the eyes of humans. Having the full cycle. Hated and seen as evil by both sides."

" Well I'm not so good at making people feel better. But hey, see it the good way. The most powerful monsters don't see you as evil, just an ant. So everyone doesn't hate you!"

" Thanks I guess. Come on, I didn't hire you to make me feel better. Tv series and ice cream got that covered. Let's save some children!"

" Agreed!" Howard said, as he picked up Conan and flew of. At a speed manageable to the human."

" So, you know where we're going?"

" Of course I don and we have to hurry up. They felt me starring into their souls and now their trying to escape. So we have to be quick about it. Or we might lose them for some seconds, before I find them and by then, the children might be dead."

" What were they doing with the children, if I may ask?"

" Oh, you'll love this one. Human experimenting. They were trying to turn the children into artificial monsters!"

" What, hurry up, I can take the speed!"

" Don't say I didn't warn you buddy. You just might die!" Howard said, as he turned into a shadow. To not literally destroyed the country from the speed he reached. Not even a second after Conan said he could take it, they were in the lab, with the monsters, that were experimenting on the children.

Conan, looked like he was about to pass out, so Howard hid him, in his shadow and got to work. One after one, he killed the monsters in silence. After about half of then were gone and all the women empty of blood. Someone noticed something was wrong and sounded the alarm. So Howard just revealed himself to them and said.

" Time to face time!"
