The Dreaming God

Immortal and Icarus remained on the outskirts of Paradise, on opposite sides of it so that neither of them knew of the other's presence.

But they both had the same thought after their clone died.

'I need to get her!'

Isadora was instrumental for Immortal. She was necessary for him to become the god he's meant to be.

For Icarus, she was the tool to get the slivers—the gateway to the glory of Nexus, the rejuvenation of the Sera tribe and emerging as a power equal to Jai.

Even though it might take a few hundred million years, Icarus saw a future where Nexus could grow as strong as Jai and face it off directly.

By then, these two puny one sliver 'Empires' wouldn't need to exist.

Either the Jai and Nexus would split them between themselves or better, Nexus would attack the unsuspecting Empires and grab the slivers.

The glorious future was beckoning and all he needed to do was grab that woman.
