When Two becos One, All shall beco One as well.
That was the prophecy Alex had heard back in the 3rd Major Spirit World. After learning about the Divination God's presence in the lower world, he had co to understand the aura of legitimacy this prophecy carried. Whether or not he wanted to believe it was an entirely different matter. If he was to believe one, then he had to believe the rest as well.
And yet, he was now hearing another prophecy that was exactly the sa in the way it was phrased, and yet ant sothing entirely different.
When Two becos One, All shall beco none.
That spoke not of sothing fusing to beco a single thing, or two things coming together to birth sothing new. Instead, this spoke of two things that would co together, and their eting would bring forth a destruction.
All shall beco none.
This was a prophecy that foretold the end of all things.
A prophecy of destruction.
'Will all beco one? Or will all beco none?' Alex thought.
Truthfully, he wasn't even certain if these were speaking of the sa event or not. However, considering how similar they were, he feared they were.
"When Two becos One..." Bladedance said with a hint of a frown. "Do we have any idea what these two things might be?"
"It could be anything," the Wine God said. "Two people. Two beasts. Two Daos. Two realms. Two concepts. We cannot even begin to understand the aning of this one. It is perhaps the most cryptic prophecy that is in our possession."
Bladedance nodded silently, her mind lost in her thoughts. After a while, she looked toward Alex.
"What do you think?" she asked.
Alex was pulled out of his own mind upon hearing her. He quickly straightened his back and shook his head. "I also don't know what this could be referring to."
Bladedance sighed.
"But..." Alex quickly added. "It does seem to be implying a destructive future, and given that I was claid to be the Destroyer, it might be related to ."
Bladedance shook her head, not even bothering to consider that as a possibility. "I don't buy it."
"She is right," the Wine God added. "While you were claid to be the Destroyer, it is also true that you were claid to be important for the survival of this world. That was why you were allowed to live back then. As such, I cannot wholeheartedly agree that this prophecy speaks about you."
Alex paused. "So you do not believe I might be part of the two?" he asked.
"No."
Alex wasn't really sure if he believed that the sa way the two others seed to. The only thing of significance that ca with the presence of the number 2 were the two True Gods.
If the True Gods were to co back, would they lead the world to destruction?
'They already have once, Alex thought. 'Their intentions were good, but the outco was disastrous. They destroyed the old world. What if, in an attempt to fix that, they lead the world to another destruction?"
That was a dangerous possibility, which he surely couldn't let co
true. He would have to-
'Wait, Alex thought, as sothing else ca to his mind. 'The Moon Goddess is technically no more. The old one at least. So the two True Gods of the old tis couldn't possibly...'
He froze. Two becos One. There were two. Now there is one!'
A deep sense of dread spread through Alex in that mont as he feared he might have stumbled upon the truth of the prophecy. 'Did Shumi getting rid of the old Moon Goddess send the world down a dark path?' he questioned. 'Or did sealing the Sun God rid the world of a True God, thus making the two beco one? Is this not how the world is supposed to be?"
Alex had the terrible thought that in an attempt to keep on living, he may just have dood the entire world. He didn't want to believe that to be true, but it most certainly could be.
"What if it's connected to the other prophecy?" Bladedance suddenly asked out of nowhere. "The Fake and the True one could be the two. When the Fake one gives breath to the True one, the Fake one is no more, thus leaving just one. And that one being the End."
The Wine God raised an eyebrow. "I never considered that myself, but
it could certainly be true."
"What do you think?" Bladedance asked Alex.
"Umm..." Alex tried to answer, but his thoughts moved in so many directions that he couldn't get a grasp on what to say.
If it was him sealing the Sun God that brought the doom, then how could it be that him freeing the Sun God would also bring the doom? The two possibilities clashed with such an opposing force that Alex couldn't begin to find a way how those two prophecies could work under his current suspicion.
That likely could only an one thing.
'I'm wrong, aren't I?' he thought. On at least one of those fronts, he
was wrong. But which one was it?
"You're awfully silent," Bladedance said, her eyes turning curious.
"What are you thinking?"
Alex struggled for a mont and then spoke up. "I'm trying to figure out if these prophecies could be related to in any way." Bladedance frowned. "I can understand thinking that way about the Savior prophecies, since there is a layer of possibility of you being that. But there is nothing to even begin to hint that these prophecies might be about you, so why would you even consider it?" Alex took a deep breath, considering what he was about to do next, and whether it was a good idea or not.
After a brief ntal back-and-forth, he nodded and spoke up.
"To explain why I am so internally conflicted about all of these, I must
first tell you of sothing I've never told you much about in the past,"
Alex said.
Bladedance raised her eyebrows. "And that would be?"
"The Divination God's prophecy about ."
