Chapter 29: Pleading.

(*Celia’s POV*)

When the light faded away, we were back in Cimra’s dimension. I thought that it would be fine, but it seemed that everyone was in a hurry. What the heck? Did something happen while we were gone?…

Fairy: “Dammit! I didn’t make it in time to stop you… Oh well. At least I can explain it to you now.” She said with a defeated sigh.

Celia: “…”

In front of my face was a tiny flying woman. She kinda looked like a fairy, but with angel wings. Who the heck is this? Man… I am truly asking a lot of questions lately…

Fairy: “Amelie, take Alisa to your apartment. The rest of the situation has to be handled by Celia.” She ordered.

Amelie: “And why should I take orders from you?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

God: “I am God! Which doesn’t mean that you’re required to listen to me. But it would be better for you and Alisa to sit this one out.” She replied.

Celia: “God? Well, I guess it’s time that I finally get some answers, right?” I say with an angry expression.

God: “…”

Before getting an explanation, we went to find Cimra. The reason for everyone being in a rush is because Heaven is under attack. As angels, they are required to return to Heaven and defend it. After telling us this, she saw God and got on her knees and bowed.

Cimra: “God… My apologies, I didn’t realize that you were here.” She said with a remorseful tone.

God: “It is fine. Now, protect Amelie and Alisa. Celia and I will go save heaven.” She ordered.

I waved my two family members goodbye, and then walked to the edge of the island. God was waiting for me to jump, but I just sat down on the ground. I still needed my questions answered.

God: “What are you doing!? Heaven is in danger! We have to go right now!” She exclaimed with a pleading tone.

Celia: “Not until you explain what happened to me.” I reply with a calm tone and expression.

God: “There is no time!” She replied.

Celia: “Then let us make time.” I reply before snapping my fingers to freeze time.

I don’t use this move much, as it is so damn overpowered. Besides, I tend to feel somewhat sick after using it. Who knew that trying to control time would be taxing on your body? Not me…

God: “You have Time Magic!?” She said with a shocked tone.

Celia: “You can see as such, right?” I reply.

God: “Unbelievable… You even froze time in every dimension…” She said with a nervous tone.

Celia: “Stop being shocked and explain already!” I demand.

God: “…”

The AI woman was correct, there were so many beings that would love to take advantage of the situation. And that is what happened. God was flung out of her shared body with the Devil, and was left with this small version of herself.

Once out, God regain her sanity. But the problem was that a Creator decided to take over the other half of the body. The AI woman was taken over as well. Now, that being wishes to take over Heaven. If you recall dungeons, Heaven is similar.

Inside Heaven, there is a crystal which holds the very existence of Heaven. This is secret knowledge, but anyone can become God. All they have to do is claim ownership of the crystal. Which is just a simple matter of touching it.

God and the Devil have been fighting for millions of years. And from God’s mouth herself, they didn’t care if anyone was watching them fight. It wasn’t whether or not someone would take advantage of them, it was when. And when is now.

God: “Please, Celia! I beg of you to save Heaven!” She pleaded once more.

Celia: “Once again, why should I? Besides me always wanting to help others, for what reason should I involve myself in this mess? You made Alisa and Amelie stay here, so I can only assume that this will be very dangerous.” I reply.

God: “Celia… five…” She cut her words short.

Celia: “Five?” I say with a head tilt.

God: “No, ten favors! If you help us out, I will be at your beck and call whenever you need a favor from me. Whatever it is, I will do it.” She offered.

Celia: “A favor from God sounds nice, but are there any limits?” I reply with a raised eyebrow.

God: “Absolutely not! Even if you wish to completely take over a dimension, I will help you.” She hurriedly replied.

Celia: “Fine. But none of this would have happened if you, the Devil, and that AI woman actually explained these things to me.” I reply with a sigh before snapping my fingers, returning time to existence.

God: “We know…” She replied with a remorseful pout.

When I last used time magic, I only did it in one dimension. This time, I paused time for everything, and every dimension. I can’t check my System, but I can easily tell that I used up a fuck ton of Mana to do this… With a sigh, I jumped off the edge while holding onto the Heaven pass that Cimra gave me. Ah, God was hanging on to my dress as well.

I much preferred the flash over this looping, spiny teleportation tunnel. While flying, odd deep black creatures showed up. They looked like dark metal angels, and they tried fighting me. Fighting in such a place would be bad, so I just avoided them.

After doing this for a few minutes, I arrived back at Heaven. The once peaceful place was completely changed. Okay, I guess my early comment about Heaven not changing anytime soon, was wrong. Now, it was just a completely dry desert…

Celia: “Why did it change so much?” I ask with a serious tone.

God: “Um… Celia, welcome to the future?” She replied with a nervous expression.

Celia: “…”

Fucking hell… This is why I refused to fight those creatures. Though, it seemed to be in vain, as me dodging was enough to throw the teleportation off course, and send us into the far-flung future…

Looking around, every being that you could think of was in shackles. Some were in long chained lines, with those dark creatures occasionally whipping them. Rather than Heaven, this place now resembles a layer of Hell… I’m not stuck in this time, right?…
