625: It Can't Be
"Janus, are you going to explain?" The God of Foresight asked Janus, who stood in the back calmly.
"You! I knew you had a hand in it! Tell me where that bastard is hiding! And why did you two kill our sons!" The God of War roared as he grabbed Janus by the collar.
"Ah, God of War, I think you should release my clone. He isn't very durable. If he broke, my connection to you all would be cut. And how would you get your answers then?" Janus asked, smiling.
"Clone?" The God of War exclaimed in shock.
"God of Foresight? Why don't you tell him?" Janus asked, shifting his focus to the bearded man.
"He is right. He isn't the real Janus.. The real one didn't even enter this room," the God of Foresight explained. "Janus was the last one to enter, so he sent his clone and stayed outside. By now, he should already be gone."
"You! Why didn't you tell us before! What am I going to do with a clone?!" The God of War roared, shifting his anger to the God of Foresight.
"I told you, I'm not going to involve myself in the problems of you all. You wanted the answers, and I'm answering. But besides that, I have no responsibility. In any case, you need an answer, and this clone can answer you as well. I suggest you free him," the God of Foresight said softly.
"So, are you freeing me or not? If you're not interested in hearing me, then I can just self destruct here, but then let alone finding the God of Space, you won't even be able to find me. So think carefully," Janus said, smirking.
"Free him," the Goddess of Destiny agreed. "Let's hear what he has to say. He left his clone behind, so he certainly wants us to hear."
"Hmph!" The God of War freed Janus before stepping back. "So, tell me! What did you do? And where is the God of Space?!"
"God of Space?" Janus smiled, patting his clothes. "That guy is going, and you'll never see him again. I guess you can say that he's no better than dead at this point."
"What happened to him? Why did he kill our sons? And why did you support him?' the God of War asked.
"Do you not understand even now? The God of Space wasn't involved in anything. It should be Janus who did it all," the Goddess of Destiny chimed in, putting the pieces together.
"He took out
"Well, you're mostly wrong. It's true that I shifted the blame on the God of Space, but that's all you got correct. I didn't kill your kids, and I didn't take God of Space out. I mean, do you really think I can defeat the God of Space?" Janus asked, shrugging.
"If you didn't, then who did it?" Goddess of Water asked.
"Well, someone who you really shouldn't have offended. As for who that person is, you'll know when the time comes," Janus answered.
"Even you don't know who did it?" The God of Flames asked the God of Foresight.
The God of Foresight shook his head.
"I have no idea. The last I saw of Lord of Space was when he met Janus. From that point on, I couldn't see anything, as if some strange force was stopping me. That can only mean that an upper echelon god cast his domain right then," The God of Foresight said.
"Hmm? Are you sure it wasn't the God of Space himself? He is also pretty good at hiding himself?" The Goddess of Destiny asked.
"No. It wasn't him. It was some Dark Domain. The Domain that stopped me seemed to contain some dark power. The domain of the Lord of Space is powerful, but it isn't Dark," the Lord of Foresight answered.
"An upper echelon god with Dark Powers? There aren't many like that. But how would we know which one of them did it?" Goddess of Water asked, shaking her head.
"Of course, this bastard Janus will tell us! He knows who did it! All we need is to beat the answers out of him!" The God of War declared.
"How? His real body isn't here. He probably already escaped by now. We can't do anything with his clone," the Goddess of Water answered.
"It's not hard to find Janus. He isn't an exception like the Lord of Space who can hide himself to perfection," the God of War replied. "Aren't I right, Janus? You know we can find you! And then we'll kill you! You will have a chance. Tell us who did it, and you'll survive."
"What will you do after knowing who did it?" Janus asked, smiling.
"We'll kill him, of course!" The Lord of War declared.
"Are you sure you can?"
"Of course we can! No matter which God it is, the seven of us can kill that person! Just give us the name! You'll see then!"
"The seven of you are enough to kill that person?" Janus asked, looking weirdly at them before bursting into laughter.
"Is that why you collected all the gods of this Realm to kill him? If you seven were enough, why didn't you seven do it alone then? Why did it take the entire God Realm to take him out!" Janus roared.
"Entire God Realm to face him?"
"Dark Aura...?"
"Is it him?"
"No, it can't be!"
"How can it be possible! We watched him die and turn to dust right before our eyes!"
"That's right! It's impossible! It can't be that monster!"
All the gods took a step back, remembering that person. Even though it had been thousands of years, they could still feel that chilling feeling when facing that man.
"Janus, you're lying! Tell us you're not talking about who we think you're talking about?" The Goddess of Water asked with a pale face.
Janus simply smiled. "How many gods were attacked by the entire Heaven? Is there even a room for question? You know as well as I about the person I'm talking about!"
"No! He couldn't have returned! How is that possible? It can't happen!" The Goddess of Water exclaimed with a pale face.
She had faced Chaos that day as well, and she had suffered badly. Fortunately, she had survived in the last moment while God of Space and God of Time stepped before her right when Chaos's horrifying Sword was about to impale her head.
