NEW TIMELINE

!!!!Archer POV!!!!

Archer: The Fuck!

Archer casted Rho Aias the moment the burst of energy exploded towards him.

It seems his projection became faster and efficient with no influence of Gaia and Alaya to degrade it.

He wonders which world he is in with no influence of the Earth defense system.

But this thoughts were thrown backward towards his head by the fiasco that was happening Infront of him.

Archer couldn't believe his eyes.

It's like Edem grew a second head out of nowhere.

Who the hell gives an unknown person power out of know where.

When he laid his eyes on the women, he knew that she is a foreigner.

The structure of cells does not lie.

Though Edem might be planning to recruit her by getting her gratitude.

Though he is not sure.

Was this all planned by Edem in the moments when he accessed the kaleidoscope? He needs to ask the parameters of True magic Edem possesses.

It seems Magic is not the only thing Edem could do.

!!!!!End of POV!!!!

Archer was buckling under the pressure of the energy.

The first layer of the shield cracked and then the second.

Archer's patience was running thin.

The first thing he would do when all this is over is punch the kid in the face.

He doesn't care if the knight is in a child's body.

He will knock his ass out.

Archer was bought out of his musing when the pressure rescinded, which finally allowed him to open his eyes to the mind numbing energy explosion.

What he saw caused him to be taken back.

Edem seems to have grown into an adult out of nowhere. With lean body but well maintained frame to give athletic superiority.

Pale skin like the women he is now holding in his arms.

With seven eyes on his face.

Two on both side of the chin glowing blue.

Two on the forehead red with horns on his head jutting out.

One in the middle completely red with several Tomoe's.

Not to mention the main eyes that have the mystic eyes of death.

Wearing white samurai yukata.

It seems he had gained some of his powers.

Archer, hope he does not do something foolish.

!!!!Tenzin POV!!!!!

The explosion has blinded him from the chase he was giving.

The lord of the Land of That was blown away from the initial shockwave.

Not to mention the second one that seemed warm and comforting like the sun and at the same time foreboding.

Not to go too close.

Or else there would be consequences.

It seems something will happen.

Something that will change the history forever.

!!!!!!Back to Kaguya!!!!

Kaguya was mesmerized at what she was seeing from the child no a man holding her.

It seems instead of exploding like she thought may have happened by eating the fruit, it seems the man adapted and evolved to her own species.

She would have killed him the moment this human figure tried to steal her fruit, but to her shock he copied and made a new one.

The amount of energy taken would have been humongous.

The fruit contains the life force of the planet itself.

To replicate something like this.

Would be a work of a God.

She used her Rinnegan to see what actually this two being is.

All she saw was light.

!!!!End of Kaguya POV!!!!!!

Edem made eye contact with Kaguya to see if she was all right and to see the energy flow coursing through her body with the two fetuses in her womb to see if they are alive.

It confused Edem to no end as he was made in a tube.

But to actually see how young fetuses are created and nurtured in a body.

It irked him to no end.

A mother and a father.

Foreign concept he has yet to comprehend.

Before he could think about it much more.

Archer came rushing to the side and slugged him to the ground.

Pain.

It seems he is not dreaming.

His transformation is still incomplete as it is ongoing.

Edem's head made contact with the ground with cracks going on the ground.

Kaguya snapped attention to Archer staying vigilant.

She stood up and took some distance watching the violence occurring Infront of her with interest.

Archer: I am sick of this shit!

Archer: We have been bouncing from world to world and here you are sparking conflict wherever we go. If you don't stop your self-destructive tendencies you can kiss the chance accomplishing your mission good bye.

Archer was infuriated with Edems modulus operandi.

He took deep breaths with all the lecture he just spat.

Edem came out from the dust with all of his eyes shit merging with his skin dusting his yukata.

There was a red midge on the skin but it healed in an instant.

Edem: Fine then how about you do the planning and sit back and watch how you fend enemies by yourself and all the work. Or we can split our duties giving insight. I am sure great hero like you can cook up a nice plan.

Archer's lip twitched.

Fighter he was.

Hero he wasn't

It reminds him of his old days.

The Knight can sure give jabs.

Archer: Haa now let's finish up and get to work. You said about a plan. I need in on it. I cannot give you the rails to this journey and navigate alone. You and me we both need to work on communication.

Edem: Fine! Now the main guest of the fiasco. We shouldn't keep our host waiting.

Archer and Edem looked at Kaguya who stiffened upon the sudden attention she was given.

Edem: So? What are you going to do to the people who are watching? Will you kill all of them who tried to take your life, or will you take a different approach and punish those who conspired to get rid of you?

Archer/Kaguya: ...….

Archer: I am assuming you already know her story due to second magic, also when did you even have the time to plan this trip. Was it the time when you accessed the kaleidoscope?

Edem: Yes indeed. Now miss make your decision, as it seems the group chasing you is getting impatient.

Archer turned to the side quickly and observed the people that was surrounding them.

He realized from the dozen so footsteps that was approaching carefully.

With the sound of bow strings that are made taut to maximum.

Swords slowly drawn.

Metal clanging as shields were raised.

Nervous breaths.

Cackling fire with bloodlust.

All signs of imminent battle.

Archer dismissed his bows and tried to summon his married swords but Edem raised his hand Infront of Archer signaling him to stop.

A single person was making his way towards them with Kaguya raising her guard.

Tenzing stopped few meters between them and made himself vulnerable.

Tenzin: K-a-guya.

Kaguya: ...

Kaguya released her bloodlust and chakara to know she did not take Tenzins presence.

Tenzin was blown a few steps back with his arms infront of his face.

The people behind Tenzin were petrified by such demonstration of power.

Tenzin: KAGUYA WE CAN TALK! WE NEED NOT SUCH VIOLENCE!

Kaguya stopped her approach and asked a simple question.

Kaguya: Were you not trying to sacrifice me with the use of violence? Where did your Ideals of peace go then?

Tenzin: ...…

Tenzin: I-

Tenzin: I had no choice.

Kaguya: So you will sacrifice me and your unborn child for peace.

Tenzin looked at Kaguya in horror.

If he knew from the start.

If he just found out earlier, he would have made another way for negotiation.

Tenzin: NO! I DIDN'T KNOW! IF I KNEW I WOULD-

Kaguya: YOU WOULD HAVE WHAT! DO YOU THINK YOUR PEOPLE WILL ACCEPT CHILDREN OF A MONSTER!

Tenzin: ...…

Tenzin's silence was enough of an answer with Archer just shaking his head and Edem analyzing the words and implications.

Sacrificing few to stop a war.

An unending cycle that Archer had lived.

Along with Edem who saw the opposite of the statement.

When things became dire.

People chose a selected few to carry their legacy.

Abandoning many to save a few.

A cycle of self-serving twistedness.

A cycle that must be broken at all cost.

Or there will be no future.

So, what should be done in that situation?

Tears were streaming down on Kaguya's face as she knew what needs to be done.

It's either her and her children or the people banded up together for a cause to exploit this situation.

To loot, steal and kill in the dark.

To satisfy their own greed.

Tenzin was pale as paper as it seems that Kaguya has reached a decision.

Kaguya looked at her unknown brethren for guidance.

Edem realizing the gaze looked at Kaguya.

Her eyes were pleading to be saved from such dilemma.

Edem used the fourth and the fifth magic to slow down time and accelerate his thought process to get to an answer that will lead to a better path.

He remembered his time studying the books of the world's history.

The hidden dealings of politicians.

The wars.

The politics.

The reason behind it.

The reason for his world to fall.

He came to an answer.

Edem mouthed a single sentence to Kaguya that caused her to widen her eyes.

It seems she has reached an understanding and a revelation.

Kaguya looked at the moon and then to Tenzin.

She released her chakara to max and quickly made her intent known.

Archer was in a dilemma.

Should he stop this massacre and watch or find a different way.

But the words of Edem circulated in his head.

"PUNISH THE FOOLS AND THE WICKED, GUIDE THE ONES WHO ARE LOST"

A reasoning that will prevent unneeded bloodshed due to rage.

Kaguya: YOU ALL WHO HAVE WRONGED ME!

Kaguya: YOU WHO TRIED TO USE ME AS A TOOL FOR YOUR SCHEMES HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS.

Kaguya: THE GREED THAT YOU HAVE HIDDEN IN YOUR HEART.

Kaguya: THE MALICE THAT MAKE YOUR MIND ROT.

Kaguya: FALL TO A DEEP SLUMBER AND REPENT FOR YOUR SINS!

Kaguya activated her eyes and hypnotized everyone present in this land and checked the memories of people who conspired against her and her innocent children.

With the memories read and rage bubbling in her heart for the disgusting plot the land of that hatched.

She released here judgement to a few targets.

KAGUYA: "INFINTE TSUKOYOMI"

With her husband one of the Targets.

A fool who tried to chase the illusion of peace.

The peace that would last only a fraction of a second after her death.

He should have taken his hand and ruled with her.

But alas.

A fool is a fool.

Choosing the easy way out.

With cocoons forming on a few targets startling the ones who were beside them.

They were petrified by this power.

Tenzin: Kag-y-a

Tenzin: What ar-e you and this p-ep-.

With the caccon taken him in.

The emperor of the land was vanquished under the punishment of the moon goddess.

The soldiers and people were so terrified by seeing their leaders ending up like this.

All of them drooped on their knees with weapons falling from their hands, wondering what will their fate be.

Kaguya: Under my decree as this world's empress.

Kaguya: YOU ALL SHOULD BOW TO ME!

Kaguya: ALL THE MALICE YOU HOLD WILL BE CLENSED!

Kaguya: Under this divine tree.

Kaguya: YOU ALL WILL WORSHIP ME!

Kaguya: REJOICE!

Kaguya: Today is the birth of a new era, and the day of your rebirth!

Kaguya: NOW KNEEL!

With this pressure all people know towed on the floor against their master. Against this monster with enormous power.

Kaguya landed on the ground and turned around immediately to the two new guests.

Kaguya: It seems an introduction is in order.

Edem: It seems it is.

Archer: I need a break.

With the end of a hectic night, the sun arose to light a new day with a new era.
