Time: When the Son of Laplace appeared during the meeting between Adam and Yemir. And the subsequent appearance of the Goddesses to kill Adam.
.
.
"He sure is gutsy. To get in cahoots with the dark mages," Freya spoke as she picked up a biscuit from the plate.
Freya and Zora came here to observe things in the Border Town when they heard Adam was coming here. After what he had done in Mirag Town, it wasn't really possible for them to leave a ticking bomb frolicking around their country.
But before that, they wanted to meet Alepsia and see what she thought about Adam.
As if by fate, Alepsia, along with her sister, Valencia, was also looking at the person in question.
And all the four goddesses have been watching what Wesker had been doing from the time he appeared in this town.
It has grown really interesting since then, and now they couldn't keep their eyes off his shenanigans. Enjoying most of the bit they saw.
"He is always an oddball, don't you think?" Zora joined in as she looked at Freya with a rather delightful smile. Whatever was going to happen, they were going to enjoy it.
But then…
He appeared.
The Son of Laplace.
He appeared in front of everyone, shocking them all, especially the gods.
"Freya, wait!" Alepsia was about to stop Freya, but she left for the place immediately. Her eyes were frantic as she looked at the screen again.
"Alepsia! Run! We must hurry!" Shouted Valencia as she failed to catch Zora as well.
And thus all the four goddesses ran towards the place where the meeting was convened.
Reaching the location, Alepsia saw that Zora and Freya were fighting against Laplace, while Adam was floating in the air, unable to do anything.
-Slash!
-BOOOOM!
And within the next few seconds, the two goddesses killed the Son of Laplace with no hesitation, their next target being Adam, who had seen what was going on, along with the rest of the people present.
While it was important to tell the other gods about this incident, if they were to know, there were high chances that this entire place and the connecting kingdoms would be heavily affected.
Something that neither Freya nor Zora wanted.
-Whoosh!
-Clank!
But Valencia and Alepsia stopped their approach towards Adam. Meanwhile, Adam floated in the air without any motions, making Alepsia worried a bit more than before.
"Don't tell me you guys were watching?" A carefree voice resounded behind Alepsia, making her smile with a relieved expression. Though the problem still hasn't vanished…
Alepsia tried helping him run away, but he rejected her help, saying he would handle the matter on his own.
And before the four goddesses could adjust, he began fighting with Zora and Freya on his own. And quite skillfully, too. His powers were only increasing as he kept both the goddesses under his wraps.
They tried their best, but none of the attacks worked against Adam, while he kept flirting with them at times, irking them out mostly. Not once a hint of worry appeared on his face… but it wasn't true for Freya and Zora, who were becoming tense with each passing moment.
And then… Adam's expression changed as he looked at the two goddesses, making them both hold their breaths as they looked at him with caution… and fear.
"One of us is going to die now," he spoke in an angered tone.
-BOOOM!!!
And then he blasted into pieces in front of them, while they kept staring at him blankly. The mana blast was heavy enough to harm the four goddesses at once, but it didn't kill them.
"You okay?" Zora asked Freya, who nodded with some difficulty. Their eyes were still searching for traces of Adam.
"You think he died?" Freya asked in an unsure voice. That guy had too many tricks up his sleeves for him to be declared dead.
"I think so? Alepsia?" Zora turned to the goddess who was closest to that guy.
"I… don't know? I hope not," Alepsia was happy that he escaped… but wasn't sure if that was really the case.
Not even Valencia commented on that.
"But what's with the flashy escape?" Zora was irritated before she looked at Alepsia as she spoke.
"Your boyfriend is a real piece of shit, Alepsia. Next time you see him, tell him that the Queen of Witches has a personal vendetta against him."
"Whatever she said," Freya was the same as she caught her breath before both of them got back to their normal state.
Alepsia blushed at hearing 'boyfriend' but then she sighed as she knew that the mess was bigger than the four of them could handle.
"What's that?" Valencia asked as she noticed something. Her eyes widened as heart skipped a beat as she saw something beyond the horizon.
"What in the-" and Freya noticed too. Soon Zora and Alepsia as well.
"Run!!" Shouted Zora as she began flying away from there, but then stopped as she saw the same thing happening on the other side.
The world crumbled slowly in front of them while they simply looked on, horror-stricken. They struggled to believe what they were witnessing.
"Are you sure we are not seeing some illusion?" Asked Zora as she looked at the edge.
"We aren't," Freya spoke as she could still feel her connection with the World Tree.
The entire world was crumbling in front of their eyes, the skies, the land, everything.
"I am going to meet my sisters," spoke Zora as she vanished immediately. While Freya left without saying anything… probably for something similar.
As for Valencia and Alepsia, the only one they had were each other. And the two held their hands together, waiting for whatever was to come.
"I love you, sister," Alepsia spoke to Valencia with a deep sigh.
"I love you too, Alepsia," Valencia answered as she held Alepsia a bit closer, a bit tighter, as if protecting her from all this.
And soon both of them vanished as well. Leaving nothing but emptiness behind in their wake.
