Ch.55: Plot Progression.

"See you in a little bit, Tory.."

Kazemi was sitting on top of a bed in a wooden room. The time setting was around night and the grey moon shown down upon the kingdom. Kazemi had just returned from the Garden Of Sins to only realize he had 2 minute left in this world.

Things happened which caused him to return and save his friends in return for...certain things while he's gone. "We really are leaving, aren't we..?" She thought about the bonds she made with people like Shea and Tio, and thought that it would all be wasted.

"We are. I...know how you feel about all of this but I promise to try and find a way for them... I'll try and find a way for them.." He couldn't word it correctly as he didn't even know what to do. Could God make it so they don't remember them? Can God make it so that they wouldn't be sad with them gone?

'I tried distancing myself from them these past few days, but I still can't get the thought of leaving them out my head..' His time reached 30 seconds which caused a wheel of names to spin 3 times, selecting 3 options in the end.

"Tory, I... Thank you for staying with me. Thank you...for being here all along. I'll figure out a way to make things right. I'll figure out some way in order for all of us to be together again.." He selected a name with his mind while Tory only nodded with tears.

"I love you so much, Tory. Please be safe...and please forgive me..." He kissed her forehead one last time before turning into particles, leaving Tory to breakdown even more onto the floor. At the front gates of Heaven, he now stood.

"Aric, how's it going?" God was standing in front of him, waiting for his return. He stood a bit away however as Kazemi had more control over his power and could possible take his power if he isn't careful.

"Stop calling me by that name."

Was all he said as he walked past God and through the gates of Heaven. God shrugged with a sigh and followed behind him. After they arrived in the room that transported Kazemi to different worlds, Kazemi asked outloud what was on his mind.

"I'd like for you to do me a favor, God.." God already knew of this favor and why he himself would accept such a request. He kept the fact that Kazemi was the son of a sin secret from him and so he thought that this much would be nothing.

"Whenever you meet with Jasmine, Rei, Hima, Haruto and even...Tory,... Please give them the option of following their own path. I realized that what I did wasn't fair. How I wanted them to be with me without their approval.

Now, I'd be dumb to say that they all don't care for me and I appreciate that. It's a feeling I thought I've never experience again. But, now that they showed me that.."

"You think you can push them away?"

God finished his statement, his words surprising him because of the wording but his meaning was sort of right. "God, I'm not the perfect human. I'm a kid who grew up poor and with a new scar everyday. I lived a life of danger and that's why...I won't allow them to live the same. Because everywhere I go, death awaits around the corner. I caused the death of my father, my mother as well in a way, and the death of many, many more. All because I do selfish, stupid things for my own gain of...

Being Needed.'

God's eyebraided raised slightly. 'Being needed, huh...?' He saw into Kazemi, 'Kazemi is a child who grew up in poverty. He had two parents, a woman who came from a poverty stricken background like her son and a father who came out of a hole. One night, Kazemi and his father got into a fight, resulting in a deep scare left in him. That scare caused a sort of complex that basically acted as a driving point. That complex was that of Being Needed. He thought that without him, his mom wouldn't be able to live which should have lead her to appreciated him more. When that didn't work however, it only drove him more...'

He continued analyzing Kazemi as he sat down in a chair and tied himself in it. "I'll do it.." God said as a giant wheel appeared with names on it and spun. "I'll give them all the option to start their own journey.."

God sort of felt bad as he couldn't do anything to help him while he was on earth. Even after his father's death, their was still a Anti-God protection barrier which cancels any power that God could have used to help Kazemi.

After All, Kazemi Was Raised Like This To Be The Perfect Successor Of Gluttony.

"Thank you. You've helped me a lot, God. I can honestly never repay you.." God smiled slightly then said, "Well, no matter your background, you're still my child. Now go on, Kazemi, be the Hero you always wanted to be.."

The wheel stopped spinning and landed on a single word. This time Kazemi was able to see the name. 'I think...I've heard of this one before...' He put God's words to the back of his head as a flash began to go off.

'Tory, Jasmine, Rei, Hima, And Haruto... I love you all and I hope you can understand why I'm doing this. Shea and Tio,.. I'll make a way for things to work out. Everyone, it's just that with things going on, I thought this would be the best course of action.

With the Sins coming out of hiding, they might try to target me either by controlling my brothers and sisters or by coming themselves. And I even suspect-"

He disappeared which stopped all thoughts. God stared at the spot where he sat, a frown pasting itself on his face. 'That kid... he's too perceptive. He figured out that I have 7 people in play to stop him and his Sin siblings...'

He snapped which turned the elegant bedroom into a metallic room with windows all around the room. God walked up to a window and looked out. There he saw 7 people training with each other while wearing heavenly armor.

'My Seven Heavenly Virtues'

One of those seven stopped training and looked into the sky, directly at God. He had light blue short hair and feminine features, grey eyes to match.

'And you, Haru, will be the only one capable of stopping your brother..'
