His body starts to shake, a flashback of his past self, as he starts to awake, his mind can hear the fading voice of the God King and God Emperor shouting at him
His body continued to shake, then suddenly his body entered a severe panic attack as he heard the fading voice of the god shouting at him become louder
The God King: Is this what you wanted, Ah Child? (Shouting)
The God Emperor: Vanish from existence, you imbecile
Ta Issei, sitting near the tree, felt this shock of power cover the temple, then a scream from the tree as he sees Liatart is desperately trying to get off the tree, then falls to the ground and loses his consciousness again
Liatart was only able to see Ta Issei for a few seconds as his vision faded
A few days pass by, Liatart starts to hear a faint voice again, but this time it's from the Supreme King, shouting at him to kill him
He wakes up and looks around intently as his body shakes uncontrollably. His body thinks he is still on the battlefield fighting, but it's just a dream, a flashback, that makes it feel like all of that event just happened yesterday
Liatart stood up and walked outside, he walk he see Ta Issei standing near a riverside, relaxing. He walked toward him and sat next to Ta Issei. He started a conversation by asking him
Liatart: Are you the God who saved me from death that day?
Ta Issei: No, it's actually from a long time ago
Liatart: What? How long has it been?
Ta Issei pauses and looks at Liatart for a second, then looks back at the river
Ta Issei: 3000 years have passed
Liatart's eyes widened, he looked at his hand and gripped it intently as he felt this feeling of missing opportunity and desperation, then followed the urge of wanted to hit and beat himself as hard as he could,
Ta Issei sees him acting strangely and tries to calm him down
Ta Issei: Right now, it's not the time to reflect on yourself; it's a time of a new path to create a new opportunity, and what's left for you
Liatart: I don't think I can create something that can make up for what I have missed
Ta Issei: Don't try to think negatively all the time; you need to escape from it sometimes, even if it is a reality. You just need something to keep moving
Liatart: even if it means lying to myself,
Ta Issei: You never know, as you walk, you might encounter something that might help you, but if you not walking at all, thing will remain the same, like this river flowing for example, the more it flowing the further it go the more tree and plant continue to grow, but if it staying in only place it will remaining the same, even the tree surrounding it continue to grow high, that is not freedom, it is imprisonment
Liatart stays silent as he realizes something
Liatart: So I just have to keep going, and face against all of it
Ta Issei: Thinking of what perfection might give you, if you pursue it
Liatart: Perfection? No, in all of my life, except for the day I stepped into this world, I have always assumed or strongly believed that God is a perfect being. I believe every corrupted world that has slowly fallen into the dark side is being overlooked by god and due to their cruelty. The realization of the fact that even god is not perfect is what makes the world so gray without a single color and so hopeless. You want me to chase after a nonexistent dream and hope? (Sobbing)
After Liatart says that to Ta Isse, his vision blurs, and he remembers a moment where he fought against a God King,
A fight that turned his view of the universe upside down, at first, the God King fought with the confidence and extreme determination of a perfect being, but then, as it was going on, Liatart witnessed something that shattered that idea
Grand Supreme Being (Liatart): Huhnn, why are you bleeding, why are you looking like that, what are you struggling against me?
Liatart keeps on attacking even stronger, as the God King is slowly dying
Grand Supreme Being (Liatart): Answer me, you are the being of perfection, you are the savior of everything, you are the creator of everything,g stand up and prove to me that you are, (Shouting furiously)
There is only one way to explain this: you must be holding back, did the Supreme Master told to do this, defeat me right now, or I will kill you here?
Liatart kicked the God King flying, then everything went silent. His eye twitched in frustration and disbelief as he felt this fear of helplessness and sadness
The God King moved his finger, then he started to crawl to his sword, as his body was severely injured
Grand Supreme Being (Liatart): Why are you crawling? You're supposed to stand up and face me. Can you just stand up and fight me? (Shouting as he sobbed)
The God King: I will not let you harm my father's universe. I will stop you here, even if it means sacrificing my life
Liatart eye widen in disbelief his eye keep twitching, as the feeling of hopeless become stronger
Grand Supreme Being (Liatart): What?
Liatart tells Ta Issei of what he thinks after his realization
Liatart: If God itself is not perfect, who will save the universe if one day it gets swallowed by the darkness
Ta Issei went silent, as he also had been asking the same question as Liatart did long ago, but later decided to let it go and only look positively in the present instead. The problem of the future belongs to the future solution; all he knew for now is that everything is alright for now
Ta Issei: I'll let the future and time answer that,
Ta Issei walks away, as the conversation starts to weigh on Liatart
