Chapter 432 The end of the war
Kyle furrowed his brows and gave Nine a nod, urging him to continue.
"Alec didn't look good in that vision. He looked a little older than he is now, and he was mumbling non-stop that he didn't want to kill someone."
Nine glanced at Kyle, fully aware that sharing his visions with others could mess up how things were supposed to go. But what if he wasn't there when Kyle and Alec fought? What if he couldn't step in and stop them? In the end, he decided it would be best to tell the duo everything.
"I'm sure I heard it clearly... Kyle, he was mumbling your name."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, but this thing has been weighing on my mind for a long time. So, I wanted to tell you this."
Kyle hummed. He didn't understand why Alec would harm him. Did they really go out and start fighting each other? But why?
"Alec isn't the type to suddenly harm me or anyone else. There must be something that happened to make him behave like that... Tell me, did you see me in that vision? Or did you see my lifeless body?"
Nine blinked when Kyle sounded so nonchalant. He closed his eyes for a second and thought about that vision again.
"No, I didn't see you. I only saw Alec and some blurry figures in front of him."
Kyle rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
"Did you tell Alec about this?"
Nine let out a dry laugh.
"He already knows. I got disoriented after the vision, so I tried to punch him and blurted out everything I saw."
Kyle placed his hands on the soft feathers beneath him to lift his weight and sighed.
"Now that both of us know about this, do you really think it will happen in the future? In my point of view, the future has already changed because-!"
He stopped in the middle of his sentence when he remembered what Diora said and how Alec's body emitted a faint dark energy.
"Haha, no way. It can't be possible."
He gazed down at the battlefield as Nine asked him what happened.
"Huh... Nine, it seems like me and Alec... we're really going to fight. I don't like it, but I guess if we have to, I'm gonna beat him up."
Kyle surprised Nine when he let out a quiet curse under his breath.
"Damn, just a while ago I promised him I wouldn't use instant teleportation if we ever fought in the future. Now I want to beat up my past self."
However, after complaining for a few minutes, Kyle slumped down on the soft feathers with a calm expression.
"Sometimes it gets infuriating when we don't know what's going to happen... But it's not like we're going to fight now for something that hasn't even happened yet."
Nine nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you're right. Maybe my vision isn't accurate anymore now that you both know about it. I'm relieved I won't get in trouble for sharing it, haha. But I think it's best if I keep my ability hidden from everyone else. It can be dangerous if too many people find out about it."
He was about to leave but stopped when he remembered that his inherited skill rank had increased after reaching the pseudo-divine rank.
"Hey Kyle, now I can see a glimpse of someone's fate by touching them. I can't use the skill often because of the pressure, but now I can use it whenever I want. So, do you wanna give it a try?"
Nine waited, but instead of agreeing, Kyle started laughing and waved his hand, telling him to go away.
"Nine, my fate is blank. I already know that. I don't think you'll be able to see anything. No need to waste the skill on me."
"Huh?"
Kyle smiled at the confused man and held out his hand.
"Well, if you still want to try, you can."
Nine stared at the hand, and a strange feeling of hesitation welled up inside him. The thread in his golden eyes moved a bit as he touched the hand with a frown. However, after just a second, Kyle sat up and pulled his hand back, not because of him, but because of the woman that appeared in the air.
"Oh, Yue is here. I'm going for now. How about you use the skill on me next time?"
Kyle let out a yawn. He was really tired and the first thing he wanted to do was take a bath. He didn't wait for Nine's answer and started floating towards Yue.
He looked down upon the battlefield, which had now grown calm as the enemies were completely defeated. It seems the tower's guardians, Alec, and other pseudo-divine rank individuals launched a full assault after dealing with the stronger enemies.
Lots of fighters and soldiers were crying, cheering, and raising their weapons in the air with joy. They emerged victorious in the war, but they also lost many comrades. Maybe that's why many of them started moving back towards Coexis, not even caring about the spoils of war.
Kyle shook his head and floated beside Yue as they watched the morning sun rising in the sky.
"The war ended, but the casualties on our side are not low... I knew many would die, but I still hoped for fewer."
Before long, Alec, Jian, Carcel, Regius, Sinon, and the other girls joined the duo as they floated side by side to watch the rising sun. Or, more specifically, to witness the bright light enveloping the entire planet. The scenery was simply beautiful, with the sky completely bathed in a layer of brightness.
The same sky that was filled with broken glass fragments when the barrier around the planet lost its strength.
Now that the barrier is surrounding the planet once again, they know the planet is safe. But for how long? That's a question nobody wants to think about right now.
Bia glanced at the sun and let out a tired groan because Nine hadn't left her back even though Kyle had left.
-"Hey, if you don't leave my back in a minute, I'm going to throw you down! I'm tired, so go away!"
She grumbled a few more times, but Nine didn't reply.
-"At least reply, are you even listening?"
