Dead End

"Where am I?"

When Shido open his eyes, he found himself standing in front of a giant throne.

It's very tall, tall like a skyscraper, something like the height of Burj Khalifa.

"I remember that I'm in my bed earlier. Is this a dream?"

Sitting on the throne, a giant old man has to bleed on his body.

"Why?"

The last word comes from the giant old man with his eyes close.

Shido follows the sight of the giant old man and spotted a man flying while holding a staff.

Slowly, the man descends in front of him and is surprised by what he saw.

"Yu-san?"

"It's been a while, Ao— no, You're Shido now, right? Are you doing okay?"

Shido feels irritated since he got stabbed by him on his last world but he stops himself to punch his face.

Right now, there is more important to do.

"Why?"

Although Shido didn't clear himself, Yu already know what he was talking about.

"Do you really want to know?"

"I want to punch you."

Shido said as he showed his fist and showed how he was holding back.

Yu raise his hand and surrender while smiling helplessly.

"Okay, okay. I'll say it."

His expression become happy and said one word.

"Rize."

Suddenly, the atmosphere became stagnant.

Yu knows if he learned about this, he might get happy since it's been a while since the two of them meet.

In the first place, the reason why he needs to be a god by devouring his first world is because he needs to get reborn.

There are still some secrets that he didn't want to leak but reuniting them is something he wanted to give as a bonus for him.

Still, does the past worlds that Shido— I mean Ao, live in are fake?

The answer is no.

Those worlds are real and not fake.

However, Yu couldn't tell this.

The plot is not invincible and he could even kill it without getting serious.

That's why he killed this giant old man.

Yes, this giant old man is the embodiment of the plot.

Shido might be strong but he couldn't kill this giant old man.

However, the death of the embodiment of the plot will remain a secret.

Shido might saw and felt some divine energy from the giant old man earlier but he doesn't know who is and he doesn't even care for it in the first place.

The reason why he needed to keep this secret is something he will tell him in the future, but for now, he wanted to tell the good news about his wife.

However, the following is something he didn't expect.

"Who's Rize?"

Shido is confused by the situation.

Did he get stabbed because of the person called Rize?

Does he know this person?

The answer is no.

So how is this something to do with him?

These are his thoughts right now.

Yu flinched when he said that.

The atmosphere becomes more awkward.

"Are you sure—"

Yu could see how confused and angry is Shido right now.

'The memory alterations. This program is already canceled the moment his first world was devoured so why, why he couldn't remember his wife? This must be some kind of bug. There is no way… if the timeline will change, what will happen to me?'

He suddenly falls down to his knee.

"No way…"

"Hey Yu, what happened?"

Although he is angry about the reason why got stabbed, he feels that he understands this person even though Yu didn't tell anything about himself.

At this moment, the confidence that Yu always have suddenly turn into despair.

Time and Space laws are very strict to their users that's why he felt despair, after all, the first rule is not to tell the past, present, and future of any person.
