God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

328  Everyone has their own reasons

[Aarick's POV]

And there he goes vanishing again using his skills. Well, I wonder what he will bring out this time.

'Well. I will let him do his things… What should I do now? Clearly this is something I would have not guessed to happen either,' I thought as I looked at Aisha observing me. A monstrous human like her on our side, I guess the heavens are really favoring me.

"Why did you lie to him?" Aisha asked as she looked at me.

"About how Rivega won't interfere and shit? Come on. Since you too joined in, you have already guessed it, haven't you?" I spoke as I observed her with a smile. She sighed as she spoke," since you know so much about it. You already know that I am going to Kill Rivega no matter which universe. You probably already know what he had done too, don't you?"

I took a step back as I knew that one wrong sentence could end my life here.

"So, it's fine, even if you and Michael end up dying if everything fails?" I asked with a rather calm smile. I must maintain my composure.

"That will never happen," she spoke with a confident smile as she added," I won't repeat the same mistakes."

"Your father might not come to this dimension to save you, you know?" I notified her, making sure she knew what she was doing.

-Whoosh!

And her Silver Giant Sword almost grazed my cheek before getting pierced into the wall behind me.

"You still haven't answered my question. I have my reasons but, why did you bring Michael into this?" She asked as she looked at me with a deep look.

"Just like you hav-"

She moved one step closer to me, making me gulp at her. Though I continued slowly,

"Have your own reasons. I too have my own."

"And? What are those?" she asked as she looked at me in my eyes. Do I really need to fight her? Do I even have a chance against her?

"Well-" I was about to speak but she smirked before turning around as she spoke," well. It doesn't matter much. Not like you will do anything to a point that I would get involved, isn't it?"

She was provoking me. She was challenging me…

But I can't… not in the state I am…

"I will do what I want to do… if I die, then that is all there is to it," I gave her my honest answer, at which she simply chuckled before nodding," I guess you can look at it that way too."

She reached the core before she began modifying it again. This time probably according to herself. Perhaps this habit was from her father… to make sure not to leave anything unturned.

'Now, nobody would be able to touch her on this planet even if they kill themselves a thousand times over,' I sighed as I touched the ground.

"[Infect!]" I used a bit of my divine power to fill it with my own curroption energy. It was different from the miasma so it won't contaminate this world. Just similar to Aisha's way of modifying the planet's core to her own needs, I too will firm my part here.

While it will take a bit of my powers, this way, this planet will protect me, too.

"Huh?!"

As I was pouring my energy deep into the planet, I saw the presence of another energy… an energy that was different from another. Though it was unfamiliar, I could feel what that energy was for.

I turned to Aisha, who was also surprised as much as I was. She looked at me with a wide eyed expression before a deep smile appeared on her face.

"Seems like he is not as naive as we thought he was," Aisha spoke out as I nodded as well.

Just like Aisha and I had our connection with the planet… I felt his presence too in the soul of the planet. In fact, rather than being an artificial energy that we induced from outside… he seemed to be protected from the planet's own behalf.

"Seriously, that guy… " I sighed as I couldn't help but think again… just who is he? To use the ability of Cronos this freely… If not for Cronos being trapped, I would have mistaken him for Cronos himself.

"Well. Not the first time I had met someone like him… but he truly is special. I wonder how far will he go… and what does fate has for him," Aisha pondered as she looked at me. She had already modified the energy of the core. Since I too was done with it, I moved my hand away from the ground.

"It would be worth finding out… if survives against Rivega, that is," I shook my head before looking at Diaspora who was talking with the three humans that were under Aisha's care.

"You really are going to take them in? You know that with the reset, they will lose their memories, won't they?" I asked with curiosity. And she sighed before speaking,

"Well. While that is correct, it is also true that we might fail against Rivega, and would need to settle down for an unknown time. I would need people to work under me, someone who could take over my empire and would fight to end the 12 True Gods to the bitter end.

While I do know the way to fight against the one who messed up the reality, it is honestly easier said than done. After all the God must be at least a Higher God, or have an artifact of that level."

"You really have planned a lot, haven't you?" I asked, and she chuckled as she answered,

"You think so? I only got the basics down. After all, with a variable like Michael and you, no matter how much I plan, things will change drastically in the nick of time. All I could do was to plan the groundwork."

I nodded, as this was true. I haven't used even a percent of my powers, and with the future, I might only become more powerful. Same goes for Michael, whose limit seems infinite.

-ZAAAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!

A stranger voice came from outside, alerting both me and Aisha. None of us felt anything. We couldn't even sense something coming from the planet or from outside. Cautiously, running outside with the four girls, we reached to the surface only to find a giant spaceship standing in front of us.

"A PowerCreeper 700XY YUlia," Aisha said, amazed at the spaceship, while I wondered why it was here. No… how was that even here?

Though the answer came as the face of a familiar figure came out of it. That guy with seemingly simple get up and a handsome face. With eyes that seemed to be carefree as usual, he looked down at us.

"I got our ride," he spoke with a smile as he looked at us.

Michael, the naive-looking person with unknown powers and potential, once again flabbergasted us as he brought something that I was not even close to expecting.

"Get in. Let's fly to the nearest planet," he spoke, making us dumbfounded, as we sighed before moving towards the spaceship.

Sigh, I wonder if I could get used to his absurdity.
