Chapter 224: Bye kids

I am now in a dream with the unknown god again. I gave it the answer and it seems satisfied.

"It seems like you found your answer" the god says "Someone will help bring your children tomorrow in the afternoon, you'll know them when you see them"

"Say, were you the one that sent Kelly back to reincarnate all those years ago? If so, why? For your usual entertainment?"

"A bit of that yes, but as for the other reason, I will keep it a secret" the god chuckled "Until we meet again, Perseus Silver, please continue to entertain the gods and make us enjoy our time. But a piece of advice before I go, you will face a lot of hardship and trials in the future, and you will have to prepare yourself for when you face the death of your loved one"

"I hate your advice already, tch"

*****

"I can't believe I'm seeing this right now"

The one who came to pick up Jaxon and Paris is...me. Well me from the future, he is accompanied by Ace who is on his shoulder. My future self is only 179cm tall, well that's at least 4cm taller than I was as Grave Leven.

He doesn't look that much older than I am now, probably in his mid 20s at most, definitely doesn't look like he already have adult kids.

"Well I get why Paris said that I age well, cuz I look good"

-Narcissist- Dabria mocked as she pretended to sneeze

-Look who's talking-

-His presence, it's calm, but strong- Dabria commented -Stronger than a lot of gods, even in their true form-

-That's the power of a protagonist for you- Diana snickered

-Future me is cool, a black core- Ace observed -Just how many opponents have I fought to reach that level-

-My future self is a celestial, much stronger than what I am now-

"Did you come here with a time traveling microwave?"

"Mi-microwave?...Oh, I get that reference. Well young me, how's your day?" he asked

"Isn't there a rule on why you shouldn't meet your future of past self or something?"

"Don't worry" he reassured "I'm the protagonist and the author is also too lazy to make stuff that complicated, he doesn't have that much of a brain capacity"

| Your future self is mean. Don't you agree with him! Go back to the basement! |

"I am so confused right now" Olivia said as she tried to differentiate between the 2 of us.

"My days could be better to be honest, about to fight 4 gods and a demon lord. My life sucks right now, did you get to slack off?"

"Now yes, the kids are all grown up and everything, so I can finally relax for once" He replied "Dabria doesn't like me to sleep in though. Having 2 wives can sometime be really hard on you, and organizing the wedding especially. With gods as guest, I didn't get to sleep for a week which was fine since I can stay up for a very very long time"

"By the way, do you know the identity of the god that sent Paris and Jaxon here?"

"Oh I know him, but can't tell you. I already killed him in my timeline, he seems friendlier in yours, but I wouldn't trust everything he says if I were you"

"You are him" Future Ace pointed out

-So the god is a dude, duly noted-

"I already don't, just had no choice."

"Well I could've come pick them up earlier since I have the power too, but he must've pulled in a lot of favors to obstruct me. I almost killed him, but he said that they were in your care, so I'll let it slide. Happened to me once too, except it was with a different woman"

"Who?"

"Craig's wife. Lauren" he sighs "Yeah, in that timeline, I had a child with her"

"Why is it always older women with you?" Dad asked "Not that I hate your taste"

"By the way, did he showed you that one traumatizing timeline of us going out with Lillian?" He asked

"Oh, traumatizing is an understatement. I still have nightmares"

"You still haven't told us what you saw though" Future Ace pouted

"Trust me, you don't wanna know." future me reassured him

"Well Paris, Jaxon, anything you want to say to younger me?"

"Um thank you for your help, Dad" Paris said "If it wasn't for you, we would still be stuck here"

"Yeah, even if you aren't from the same timeline, at least we get to learn more about you." Jaxon added

Future me then opened a warp gate, perfectly circular meaning that he mastered it and the other side is future Dabria waving.

"Hey past Perseus" she greeted "Great to see you again"

"That is not Dabria"

"Oh, but it is" my future self chuckled "That's what happens when you make a goddess your wife. You're going out with Eli and Lia, right? Well I've never done that, so I ain't got any advice for you apart from that women are complicated"

"I realized that very much early on. And Eliza declared that all on her own after she and Lia had a discussion"

"See, very fickle beings" he sighs

"Yeah, like time, a literal fickle mistress" Future Ace added

"Bye dad" Paris said before leaving

"Yeah, good luck with auntie Eliza" Jaxon added before stepping into the gate

"Bye kids"

"Well younger me, I'll be taking my leave." he said as he patted my back "Be prepared for what's about to come, you'll face a lot of strong opponents, and you'll have to make a choice at a crossroad. Don't pick the wrong one."

"Dude, you suck"

"I know" he laughed "Besides you're the protagonist. right? I know that you'll do just fine."

-I like your future self better- Dabria commented

-Well then, wait a few decades and you'll get that me-

"Damon, good luck on the dragon lord competition." Future me said "Ace, enjoy your upcoming adventures, Siege smile more...And Dabria be less cold please, we know you love us, show it more like your future self"

-I will not- Dabria declined

"And Diana, pay attention to the upcoming fight. The clue about your parents will appear then. Bye now" He slipped a piece of paper into my hands and then stepped into the warp gate and disappeared.

"You think of yourself as the protagonist? Isn't that a bit narcissistic?" Olivia asked

"...A bit yes, but trust me, I have a very good reason to"

"You really are a weird" Uncle John sighs while clicking his tongue "You can travel through time in the future and married a goddess. What else should I expect?"

I looked into the paper that my future self gave me. On it says 'the hint of our mom's bloodline' with a picture of a pair of torches.

-That is a very crude drawing- Damon observed

-Well your future self gave us a hint at least- Diana said -I'll pay extra attention from now on-

My eyes is fixated on that picture, I think I got a clue.

-Perseus, it seems like you know what this symbol is too- Dabria said

-Yeah, it's a small hint, but even I know what that means" Siege agreed

-Torches and I shall be faced with a crossroad...he just gave me the fucking answer, not a fucking clue!-
