A Need To Get Stronger
Akun's mind whirled as he processed Aric's words. The implications were staggering. He was playing a game of cosmic chess where the stakes were the very fabric of reality. He had sent these agents back to ensure the survival of key individuals who would be instrumental in the battles to come.
"So," Akun said slowly, his voice filled with a small touch of shock and resolve, "I am not just fighting for my survival. I am preparing for a future where the universe itself must be saved from the chaos I will unleash."
Aric nodded, the flicker of his energy growing fainter. "Exactly, Master. You must ensure the continuity of those who will bear the mantle of the Origin Gods. Only by doing so can you hope to restore order and prevent the total collapse of the universe."
Aric's form shimmered, his energy nearly depleted. "Remember, Master," he said softly, his voice fading, "everything you do now shapes the future. Stay strong, and be ready for what lies ahead."
