95 Alternative World's Cruel Fate
Charlotte looked at Brian since she didn’t know the answer but her heart was already guessing someone. She had studied the human brain. She understood why Ely was in so much pain.
But, this is the answer she didn’t hope to be correct. Brian nodded his head without speaking. Even he knows that she had already guessed it. He didn’t have to spell it out for her.
Charlotte’s arms around Ely clenched as she pulled her even more and cried. She couldn’t even think of this happening but didn’t expect it to happen.
What would have happened for her daughter to take the life of her real mother?
What happened in the future? Why was it so dark? Is it going to be the same? Will her daughters suffer the same fate?
Then, she suddenly looked at Brian as she expected him to say something.
Brian didn’t say anything but rather hold them in his arms and let them cry. He knew something like this would happen if they meet Young Ely but it still hurts.
No matter how prepared he was, no matter how much he knew, it still hurts to see his wife and daughter cry like this. He felt he couldn’t even open his mouth. It felt dry.
But after a few minutes, he finally spoke “What you did was for us, wasn’t it? You did it for us. So, don’t blame yourself. Your sister understood your pain and sent you to the past so that you can live with us.”-(0)ᴠʟ.
“Do you really think a person who can create time travel can’t create Celestial Killing Bomb? It was just a lie to send you back in past. She knew the consequences of time travel but she also knew that I could help you avoid those.”
“Your sister knew that once you are stuck here, you will eventually come to me no matter how hard you tried to stay away from us at the beginning and I can help you solve those problems.”
(O)ᴠʟ “But, she overestimated me. I hope so.”
His tone was still full of suspicion but Young Ely didn’t catch it.
She had covered her face as she continued crying. Brian heavily sighed and pulled her into his embrace once again.
“If you keep crying, we won’t be able to talk and you can’t stay here for a long time as well. So, just take some deep breaths and calm down.”
Young Ely nodded her head while wiping away her tears. She tried her best to calm down.
“Ely, before you tell me anything, I just want to let you know that no matter what you say now it’s not going to make any major changes. The change began the moment you came you interacted with her. So, you don’t have to worry about anything.” (O)ᴠʟ
Young Ely nodded her head and spoke “I am currently twenty-two and I have been living with my sister alone for eight years. She is only ten now. According to you, she inherited your talent and intelligence because mom’s bloodline was too weak to suppress it.”
“I only inherited your intelligence but couldn’t inherit the ability to talk with technology. After I started living with you, she also came to live with you only after three months.”
“At first, it was she and mom had quite a bad relationship but eventually, they started living peacefully. It took you three years to reach level 100. Of course, it could’ve taken less but you were too busy with her and mom.”
“Ely!” Suddenly, Brian interrupted her as she raised her head. He looked at her and sighed “Call her mommy just like you always do. Do it for my sake.”
Brian understood to whom Ely was referring as ‘She’ and ‘Her’ but it made him feel sad. Because the person she loved the most was her mother. She only started loving her father a lot after getting to know him better.
Ely lowered her head with hesitation for a long time and finally continued “Mother never really cared about your relationship with mom but later, she told me that she was jealous of Mom. Unlike mom, you always treat the mother as my mother rather than your wife.”
“Of course, it wasn’t the main reason behind what she did. After the birth of your second daughter with mom, her jealousy soared. She felt that now you have another daughter, you will completely ignore her and me.”
“But, she knew you would hate her if she does anything wrong with mom. So, she used vampires. She ordered the vampires to kill all the werewolves. This started a new war between werewolves and vampires.”
“Naturally, mom had gotten a lot stronger during this time. She got engaged in the battle against vampires. While you tried to bring peace between two races, you didn’t succeed.”
“Eventually, it turned into an all-out war between them. I couldn’t watch it. I loved my mother but I also loved mom. Sob! Sob! They were fighting in front of me which I couldn’t bear to watch.”
“So, foolishly I made a decision to stop them from fighting. But, I didn’t realize when I was trying to stop them, they were using one of their strongest attacks against each other.”
“I got caught in the middle and both of them couldn’t stop it. At that time…. You jumped in the middle and covered me with your body. You didn’t let me get an injury but you suffered all of that blow.”
“At that moment, you died….. at my hands and asked me to stop this war. It was the last thing you told me. I cried and cried. The war stopped but only temporarily.”
“But, your death made mom mad. After all, she wasn’t the one who started the war. You had to pay for something that you didn’t do. Your death hit her very hard. So, she continued the war.”
“Unfortunately, she was still weaker than mother. In the end, mother killed her. I tried to stop mother again and again but she didn’t listen. After she killed her, she also tried to kill my sister.”
“So, I had to kill her before she could kill my sister. After three of you died, I started living with my sister but the war continued. The war started taking the lives of millions of humans. Even though humans were counterattacking, the casualties were huge.”
“One day, I came across the idea of time travel in your lab. I realized that even though I couldn’t complete it, my sister could. Within those three years, you had already removed the Celestial Killing Bomb from New Gods.”
“Since werewolf and vampire were your wives, you thought it wouldn’t be good to keep such weapon. But, I had to stop the war and destruction. So, I took care of my sister as she grew up and help her learn more.”
“Unlike me, she learned everything within just the age of five. She even developed Quantum Tunnel at the age of eight. And, finally, at the age of ten, she succeed in creating the Time Travel Chair.”
“I came back in time to get the blueprints of Celestial Killing Bomb but somehow the fuel that was perfect for going back in time wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to meet because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to go back.”
“I really missed you.”
Seeing her in tears, both of them held her tightly. Charlotte choked “Sob! You suffered too much, Ely….. Sob! Sob!”
Brian didn’t say anything. He just embraced Ely. He had tears in his eyes as well. He didn’t expect his daughter to be alone but also to take care of a child.
He clenched his fist as he didn’t know whether to feel good or bad. Many things have changed. He can no longer play New Gods which means he won’t reach level 100 but it doesn’t mean Lucy won’t feel jealous.
Lucy would still have her pride. But, many things have changed because of it. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed. He immediately pushed Ely out of his embrace and fell to his knees.
“Ely, you must leave soon. I know it is really hard to bear this burden but your sister will definitely help you. Just make sure that she doesn’t do anything stupid.”
“I feel like someone is using the Time Corps technology to find me and manipulate me. Whenever that person is, he has successfully deleted my account from New Gods.”
“This person isn’t something I can deal with right now. And, you need to go back in time before Time Corps finds you. Remember, your world is no longer our future. It is an alternative reality now.”
“No matter what you do, you can’t change other worlds. Brian, Lucy, and Charlotte are no longer alive there but you are using the Time Travel device so Time Corps will definitely find you for this.”
He immediately lifted Ely and rushed toward the small chair on the back. It had a silver metallic finish. It didn’t feel any different than most chairs. He put her on the chair and shouted.
“Ely, remember that world is now an alternative dimension so don’t use time travel to get here. Ask your sister to build a Dimensional Traveling Gun. I drew a design when I was sixteen but didn’t get a chance to complete it because of lack of time.”
“You two have a lot of time. Although that gun is fifth-dimensional technology, I believe she can easily build it. Once you do build it, come back! Your daddy, mommy, and mom will be waiting here for you.”
Saying so, he kissed her forehead, and before she could say anything, he pressed a red button on the side chair.
Suddenly, a white light flashed around her as she raised her hand to say something but the white light wrapped her until the chair disappeared completely.
“Brian Jackson, are you still tempering with Time despite our warning?”
Suddenly, a voice rang behind him.
