In this dark night, cheers heard everywhere after the last speck of light from Nathan dimmed and disappear. Joys and exhilaration can be felt by everyone here, they screaming name of their loved ones and wept in happiness. They never cry before, even when they lost their homeworld. They always think sad emotion is for the weak, it’s stupid, but this pride is what makes them stand to live this long, this pride is what makes them strong.

But this time, they don’t care about their own pride or weakness. So what if this is a different Nathan? Seeing the death of Nathan with their own eyes is the greatest gift. If tears don’t flowing now when it can flow?

That last spot of light in the darkness, reminding them all the roads they go through, remind them when they are still the king of their world. When they are the best in their world. When they take the love of their people for granted.

Sometimes, in their journey they always as looking at the abyss, they can’t come back, like they do all the time and still take a step forward into that darkness without knowing what happens next like they do all the time. Always wonder if the next step is just another torture by the whisper of a curse from other side or blessing that release them from this world.

However, this time everything is over, that last light is a sign of their new start, their new hope in this universe. They promise to fix their past mistake, to protect everyone in their home with their life. Some of them was a coward but not anymore, some of them were greedy but not anymore, some of them ungrateful but not anymore, in this second chance they will do everything right.

Seeing all of this, Senwyn let out a smile as she can felt this emotion herself, but this isn’t finished yet. She starts talking again with a stern voice, reminding her subordinate to work at the last thing, it is to make sure Nathan can’t be resurrected or reborn again.

“Attention everyone, as you see. Nathan is dead, but we need to make sure he won’t be resurrected by anyone else or reborn by a twist of fate. So, I command you to do your, no, our last work before we go to our own universe, is that clear?”

“Yes, Clear”, They answering Senwyn command in unison with vigor, they can’t help to let out a smile even in this situation, but for this time Senwyn turning a blind eye.

===

I’m working together with everyone to finish our last job, it’s quite easy when there no disturbance and with our power, it will be finished before Senwyn’s task.

In general, there is two last task that we need to do. First, make sure Nathan can’t be reborn and second, make sure Nathan won’t be resurrected.

For the first objective, Senwyn will erase Nathan’s future, past, and soul. At the same time, Vashar, one of the elite, will use her unique ability to delete Nathan’s record in the Akashic record and cut all the loose string possible. They must do those task together, but Vashar yet to appear, so Senwyn still waiting while making their preparation.

And for the second objective. Well, usually with what Senwyn and Vashar do it will be enough, but it’s Nathan we talking about. To be safe, we need to close even the smallest hole. While Senwyn and Vashar do their job, we will build many bombs and put it in some key area with one purpose, erasing this universe from this timeline.

“Lady Kinana, where we put this one?”, sometimes they asking when they have doubts in the coordinate.

I’m opening many holographic maps and telling them where to put them, some in the great attractor, some in a blackhole, but most of it are in empty space because we just need to put these in all crack at space-time and most of them don’t even have any landmark. So, most of them just teleported by Tyrell and putting them based on my instruction.

When remembering Nathan usually destroy the universe on a daily basis, I looking upward and muttered, “No wonder Nathan is called the strongest”.

“Well, at least he already dead”, Tyrell who just come back reply my muttering.

“That’s true, and it’s a new start for all of us,” Someone from behind joins our conversation.

“Juexi, you already come. Unfortunately, you didn’t see Nathan’s death”, Travis said while grinning

“It’s unfortunate, but it also means you are the weakest in the battle division”

“And you are as the second weakest is quite arrogant like the strongest fighters”

“What do you mean, huh?”

In just a few seconds after their meeting, they already start their banter. Well, it’s a lighthearted one, I think in a joyous occasion, this is a normal thing.

‘Well, they still need to work though’

After I reprimand them, they start working together building new bombs while grumbling, but at least now they productive with their little competition, they like cat and dog.

While looking at the map, I continue commanding all of them to build new bombs and put all of those in their position efficiently. It’s a fun job but after awhile I feel something moving fast towards this planet, looking at both Tyrell and Juexi, it seems not only me who realize that.

“Ah, I forgot about them,” looking heavenwards, I see part of my failsafe plan coming towards earth, “Well, we won’t need them anymore”

“Who is them?” as usual, Tyrell asking something that already explained in our meeting

“It’s our backup plan if by some odd chance Nathan successfully escapes to the past. As I said usually Tyrell, never sleep in a meeting”, looking at Tyrell, I sighed and explain it to him

This is the greatest chance we have to erase Nathan from this timeline, of course, we still can erase him in the future but who want to pick that choice when we have this golden opportunity after abandoning our timeline behind as a plaything in Nathan's palm.

I devised many Nathan’s escape prevention plans in the case he feeling something wrong at our arrival, some is quite subtle like those armors. Each one of those armors emitted random frequencies of time-aura to reduce Nathan’s chance to time travel. Of course, elites have that as a skill so they don’t need that armor like the normal troop, and people in Senwyn class can even intervene with time travel process directly with their aura.

At first, even I think it is overkill and already overestimate Nathan, but looking near the end he successfully establishing a link to escape to the past, even with this many aura to suppress his chance to escape to the past, I can’t help to think I still underestimate Nathan’s talent in time element.

Of course, some of the plans aren’t so subtle, like those swords and firearm we gave to the troops, it’s created with Nathan’s escape in mind. His wound from those weapons will be sending danger signal forever to every creature from every corner of this universe, so if he successfully escapes he will be hunted by every overlord of this universe and we can trace his hiding place from anomaly shifting in the timeline.

Tyrell after hearing my reprimand and explanation, smiling sheepishly with red cheek while nodding, a sign of he already understand.

Those people who already in their way coming here are overlords of this universe, all of them already wrote their feat and achievement in this universe history book. Heroes, saviors, dark lords, sages any of them have overbearings title but they all have strength backing their title. One movement from one of them can even make the king of this universe wary.

In a normal situation there no chance they will go to this backward planet, but right now all of the world legends coming here because danger signal emitted from the wound inflicted by troops who come here first.

“Oh well, I will take care of those first. You lot, keep up your work”

After giving that musclehead instruction, I immediately using my skill.

===

In the darkness of space, between the star, a straight white streak moving in unimaginable speed. It looks beautiful when looked from afar, like a road to heaven between the star. But this isn’t natural phenomena, it’s an aura emission left by a hero who saves this universe multiple times.

Inside this streak of light, anyone who recognizes this man will be shocked when looking at his grave facial expression. The hero who always calm even in front of his greatest adversary, right now have a glum expression, but right now not just him, everyone who have abilities to overseer the universe has really sour expression.

Initially they just want to check after he gets dangerous signal from a corner of universe, but a few minutes later he’s sensing, one by one, creature who have strength far beyond him appear from that exact corner, it’s like a nightmare, it makes every enemy he defeated before like an ant in front of these surge of aura. But even so, he needs to go there at least, to find out what those people want.

On his way to earth, he felt someone beside him, silently, without flashy light like him.

“King of darkness, you felt that too?” Without stopping he talk telepathically to the person beside him.

“Of course, do you think I'm regressing in my hiding. This aura is even greater than a higher creature,” he said while gritting his teeth then he continues talking “I know we have grudges in the past, but I hope we can cast that aside for now”

After silent for a while, he retracts his murderous aura. “Okay, fine. Just save your neck for later”

This time, they continue their journey together without talking. Not long after, many bubbles appearing from god knows where covering both of them in the blink of eyes.

After opening his eyes, he looks at a barren planet without a life. But with his perception, he knows in this place there many living being before, and it’s just destroyed by these people. Looking around him, he sees many people appear from bubbles and above them, some battleship appears in the same way. Each of these people has power equal to or even greater than him, he recognizes some of them from his previous fight or hearing their feats from the legends.

The king who conquer the universe, a sage who guide many heroes, the first dark empress who nearly bring the destruction of the universe, all of the legends who already considered dead stand together in this small planet.

But right now, even those legends looking at a woman in front all of us while standing tensely, not because of her beauty, but purely because disbelief with her extraordinary strength, it’s impossible to kill this woman even if they combined their power and attack together, like a mob. But even so, as people who forged by blood, their eyes don’t show any fear

“Greetings, I know what you’re thinking, but I will say this first. I’m sorry, we will destroy this universe”, she apologizes calmly, the woman talking about destroying their universe like a dentist before he pulling a tooth.

Without waiting for their response, that woman talking again, “You just have one right choice in front of you”

===

“So what will happen to them?” Tyrell said while building a bomb.

“Nothing, I guess. I already give them their choice” I answering while overseeing their work.

I advised them to left this universe before it’s destroyed, of course, they can choose to resist and attack us to protect this universe, but there no stupid person can stand on the top for a long time. Not everything must be solved by violence, if problems can be solved by talking, I prefer to do that instead. After hearing my explanation and looking at our power there no way they choose to oppose us.

After thinking for a moment, they immediately split up and leave from this planet. They probably go to their families or loved ones and prepare to leave this universe immediately. Well, that or they will bring some ancient weapon to attack us, it's rarely happened but I still can take care of that, alone.

“Aren’t some of them is early Nathan’s follower, can’t you just kill them all?” Juexi said still working

“Yeah, I know. But I’m in a good mood, moreover, I already killed them many times in the previous timeline, so I want to give them a chance. Well, as long they don’t do anything stupid” I said while shrugging my shoulder.

“Well, it’s your shot”

It’s true some of them have some connections with Nathan in the previous multiverse, and some of them have evil tendencies. But even so, the history already changing, Vashar will sever their fate with Nathan, and for their evil tendency, it’s not for me to judge as I am too before, same as them. But it is a different story if they still don’t know their place.

After talked with them, I’m calling all the troops, they report that most of the bombs already put in the key areas and there just little left.

In the working area, there three more elites come when I talking to those people, they talking together and while building new bombs, except Vashar who in the process helping Senwyn cutting Nathan’s string of fate.

“Huff, so this is the end of our group?” Juexi said, sighing, stop his banter with Tyrell and looking upward.

“W- we all can always meet you know, e-even if after this we split to our home” Tyrell stutter when said something rare.

All our eyes looking at Tyrell, he blushed realizing say something doesn’t suit his image, “Forget I said that” he said hastily.

“Bwahaha, I don’t know you have a cute side like this too” Juexi laughing while touching his stomach.

We laugh together after teasing him, how long I felt this light in my chest, just bantering without a burden in my shoulder. I’m sure it’s not just me, everyone felt the same. I believe the road we step from now on lighter than ever.

After this over, we surely will split up and protect our respective universe from any harm. Well, even if we didn’t say it out loud, I’m sure all of us hope we can meet from time to time from now on.

“Anyway, Dahr really took a long time to come,” Tyrell said

“Well, he the one who must destroy link with the previous multiverse. So, of course, he would be the last” Juexi answering.

“Well, that’s true,” Tyrell said and after that, he's continuing his work.

They sometimes talking random thing, like Dahr, he got the task to destroy the gate after we all arrive on the other side, with his unique skill he can destroy the way while traversing the gate. So, his lateness is still in my estimations, moreover, there is nothing outside my calculations until now. But I can’t help to felt unease in my mind right now.

‘I hope it’s just my feeling, and come quickly Dahr’

Time passing with snail pace, but while engaging in our conversations it doesn’t feel that long, while checking at Senwyn side, she already finish erasing Nathan’s fate, make sure he won’t be reincarnated in the future and Vashar still in the process to remove him from Akashic records, remove the possibility evil people who want to control Nathan as puppet while busy cutting his string of fate. After this, the final step is erasing his soul and make him disappear forever from this timeline.

All my job is done and nothing I can do at the time beside waiting. So, I’m sitting and looking at those muscleheads working and bantering, like a camel, don’t know tired is a word in the dictionary.

===

*Boo-om*

Without warning a sound of explosion reverberated across the planet, made many normal troops surprised. It’s coming from below battleship directions before.

“What the heck, are they seriously attacking us”

“Didn’t they already perceive lady Kinana power”

“I know right, and when I just thinking people in this universe aware of their power limit”

After the explosion sound, the troops don't become afraid. Instead, they talking to each other like it other people problem, while still doing their work. It’s not a baseless courage, because Kinana alone can kill them all in short time, and here gather some people who even stronger than her.

Even if they using some ancient weapon from the higher realm and trying to attack them, it won’t make any damage to this group.

However, different from normal troops, the elites felt something amiss. They can watch thing from far away, and they see it’s not a weapon made that sound, but a battleship falling from the space because they lost energy.

Not just that, every star in the sky beating like heartbeats, dimmer and brighter alternately. A great energy disturbance spreading across the universe. Not long after, the earth shook with a greater scale than ever before.

A crack formed in the space from the same spot Senwyn appear before, like a mirror get hit by a baseball, it shattered. Between that crack coming vivid sound, a calm but confident voice from a man.

For the revolutionary army, there no familiar sound more than this voice, sound of a nightmare.

“To the Resistance who bring me here, I’m grateful, with every of your cavorting”

A man with short silver hair stepping out from that crack, slow but steady, like a lion, the pressure from his majestic aura can be felt even from far away. His volume of talking isn’t loud, but it can be heard across all the multiverse, from hell to heaven, from ants to gods can hear his impassive speech.

His hand strangles someone who wounded severely, the last elite. Blood gushing from the hole through his chest, but nobody dares to rashly try to help in this situation. After he throws that man to the ground he continues speaking.

“To creatures crawling on the ground, hear me, the one who will be your true king”

All creature listening to his speech, they have big urge to bow, it’s coming from their primal instincts to protect their life. Even brainless creature know from the voice they hear, this man is dangerous. Some of them even already bend their knees and prostrate on the spot.

“To monarchs sitting on their throne, it’s come, the time for great reforming”

Dreadful, it’s what all rulers felt. This cold voice made them seeing an illusion of end of their dynasty.

Looking at the heaven, he talks calmly.

“To Gods watching above the heaven, look at me, your greatest terror is aborning”

Each word he said make Gods shudder in their place, but this man has the strength to back his word, this guy at least isn’t even a bit weaker than them.

Still looking upwards, with a menacing smile like talking with long life friends he keeps talking.

“To the king who sitting beyond all, your doom, my arrival will be a forewarning”

This time he stops talking longer than earlier, like meeting eyes to eyes with someone, but this person isn’t in this universe.

In another place, the peak of all universe, not like other gods who glared warily. There sitting a dashing man in a giant majestic throne, smiling, as he hearing his proclamation.

He stopped looking upwards and facing the revolutionary army, but what he’s seeing not them but this world. With a wide smirk in his face, his eyes looking down to this entire multiverse, like a God looking at mortal with contempt, but a glint of happiness can still be seen, like a kid who found a new toy.

“My name is Nathan, and I’d like to say …”

Streaks of light from the sun rising, slowly illuminate the world, a first dawn the sign of new era is coming. With a sinister half-grin, he said

“Good Morning”
