Chapter 188: Inevitable future
Now that the whole issue of the wyverns was done, Silva wanted to get serious with the king of Aragon, and so he devised a plan.
"Lily, meet me at the dome where we captured the Aragon army," Silva told Lily telepathically.
After telling her, he headed that way to wait for her. He arrived at the dome before Lily did. After some minutes, she arrived through a portal.
"What did you need from me?" she asked.
"I wanted to see if there was a way to broadcast what is happening to the whole of Aragon.
I want the kingdom to see what their king was doing and the sort of decisions he was taking, risking the lives of their brothers and sisters, fathers, and lots more.
To show them that he had the opportunity to help them, yet he refused to take it, and decided to let them die," Silva said.
"Sometimes I wonder if you are just purely evil," Lily said in response to what Silva said.
"Well, I was never good. I am a hypocrite, to be honest. I live based on my whims; I just do whatsoever I please," Silva said.
"You are really something else," Lily said. She then paused and thought about what Silva asked.
"There is a way, but it will take some engineering from Drake and some good magic. It might take us about five hours to complete enough to project in their capital.
But we won\'t be able to show it to the smaller towns and cities," Lily explained.
"That\'s enough for what we need to do. You and Drake should please work on it," Silva said.
"There is also something I have to tell you, Silva. I see a future; it just came to me, and it was not good. When I saw the future, I began running through several types of futures to see if there were alternates.
But no matter how far I dug, the same thing always happened in different ways, and at the end, there was always one result," Lily said.
"Tell me the details," Silva asked immediately.
"I saw you fighting a being that was fixed on destroying this world because of you. The being was powerful enough to collapse the sun and shatter worlds.
You fought it, but every single time, you failed and failed and failed, dying and letting the world get destroyed.
I have told you of my abilities before, but I\'ll explain some more about it. If there is a future that takes up about ninety percent of all the parallels, it is called a fixed future.
And it is a time that you must pass through. But this is not what makes it scary. The main issue is about the first future that I told you about.
The future where you die and all of us die as well, that future is the key to unlocking this brutal fixed future.
If you die in the first future, the second will never happen, but if you manage to survive the first, it will unlock the second and cause a disaster," Lily explained.
"I see, I understand what you are saying, and this is indeed a dreadful future. But if that future is inevitable, we will face it head-on and win," Silva gave her a reassuring smile.
Lily could tell easily that he wasn\'t really okay with what he just heard, but he had to be a leader and take it with calmness.
It made his image in her mind shine brighter. Who would not be scared of inevitable demise? Who would not shudder and hide from such a future?
But to ensure that his men and everyone that followed him would not lose hope, he had to smile through it.
She decided to leave, and immediately she did, Silva found a tree and sat, leaning his back on it.
He gazed up into the sky and fell into thought. No matter how strong he got and how fast he got strong, there was a stronger threat lurking around.
And this was not the type of threat that he could level up and defeat. He could already tell that the being Lily spoke of was the leader and creator of the weeping angels.
A being capable of creating beings that could destroy worlds alone—what sort of power would the creator have?
All those thoughts troubled Silva internally, but he wasn\'t going to shy from it. He was going to bolt his way through regardless.
He got up from the ground and gave a middle finger to the sky.
"You all can go fuck yourselves. This dragon will rise above all, and you all will be my stepping stones," Silva said, cheering himself up.
He thought about how to entertain himself, and what better than to make the Aragon soldiers fight against themselves?
They had not eaten for close to a day now, and their rations were only little. They had not expected to be captured this way, so they didn\'t pack enough. The stress they were going through had also caused insane hunger.
And so Silva would be using that to his advantage. He headed back to town and gathered some roasted meat, well-seasoned and prepared in the kitchen of the castle.
He didn\'t even know who made it; he just took it. What\'s the worst that could happen? Well, that\'s what he thought.
He left the castle and flew back to the dome. He arrived, walked in, then flew towards the center of the town, and that is where he placed the food.
He flew up and watched. It didn\'t take long before some men saw it and ran towards it, and then soon the smell reached others, and they ran towards it.
And soon, a fight broke out over food while Silva watched with a grin.
