"Quickly! Kill the flame," Phoenix shouted again with her eyes showing the emergency and the danger of the situation they were in.

Her heart raced as she watched Apollo burn in her flames. She had never felt such an intense emotion before. Fear, panic, and despair all swirled together in a tumultuous storm within her. She didn't give a ratshit about Apollo but, she knew things won't be good if he died.

"Noo! Leviathan, please! Do something," Phoenix screamed as she tried to contain the raging inferno within her. But the flames only grew stronger, devouring everything in Apollo's face.

"Phoenix, calm down!" a voice called out to her from the distance.

She turned around to see her brother looking rather calm, She didn't understand how he could stay like that because if Apollo dies, he will be the first one to face consequences.

"Calm down? Can't you see what's happening?" Phoenix cried out, tears streaming down her face.

"I see, but you must control your emotions. You're the Phoenix, the embodiment of flame itself. Your flames can destroy, but Leviathan can do the opposite of what you can," Nikol possessed by Fenrir said calmly.

And Leviathan slowly reached the place where they were standing and stretched out her hand.

With a flick of her finger, a huge current of water surged forward, with their massive pressure slicing through the air like a knife. As she got close to the incident, she saw Apollo, his body wreathed in flames, his face twisted in agony. Seeing it only brought her happiness, but she knew that happiness wouldn't last forever if he died.

With a mighty roar, she unleashed a torrent of water and it clashed against the flame, dousing the flames and sending Apollo tumbling to the ground with his body twitching from the pain. Even though they were higher beings, they still felt pain and the fear of death, the only things that differentiated them from the one-dimensional beings are their blood and ability to reproduce.

They had the ability to reproduce, but in the history of the second dimension none of the gods or goddesses attempted to do that since they considered that act as a taboo, and one of the reasons Artemis got punished was because of this.

As the last ember flickered out, Apollo gasped for breath, his body smoking and charred. But he was alive.

"Thank you, You saved my life," he said, his voice hoarse but he didn't mean it because who would appreciate their enemy just like that?

Those words came out of her mouth because of how real he felt when the pain disappeared from his body.

Before Apollo could react, Leviathan rushed towards him and struck him with all her might. His consciousness faded and he fell to the ground, unconscious with mana blood leaking from his mouth.

Leviathan looked down at him, knowing she had made a risky decision. She couldn't let anyone continue the destructive path, but she also couldn't risk him waking up and creating more problems.

After he fell on the floor with Fenrir's body lifeless because of his control breaking, Nikol who was possessed by real Fenrir slowly reached both Leviathan and Phoenix. He didn't forget about Artemis as he asked her to gather near him, since he had something important to talk about.

"So it was true you were sealed by him?" Leviathan asked as she was conflicted.

Phoenix just ignored Fenrir because she was pissed off, but still, she listened to him with her ears perked up.

*Sigh

"I was and I don't regret anything I did, but Nikol's life is in danger, when the time comes none of you will be able to save him, because of the curse we were inflicted upon,"

Phoenix couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Hah? Why are you caring about someone else? Either way, I don't care about what happened to a puny basta-"

She couldn't even finish her words, as Fenrir suddenly started choking her with a serious look on his face.

"Don't talk about him like that, if you don't care just get lost, don't put your dirty beak into things that have nothing to do with you,"

"Stop it," Leviathan said and put her hands on Fenrir's shoulder.

He let her go with his eyes concentrating on Artemis and he squinted his eyes.

"Have sex with him!"

Suddenly he dropped a huge bomb on her head, causing her to blush a little.

"Are you crazy? I'm his mother, I can't do that," Artemis answered him with her eyes travelling everywhere. Just the idea of having sex with Nikol felt like an absolute taboo, but Fenrir didn't stop.

"What? Don't act like you don't know, you and I both know, his mother is not you," As soon as she heard Fenrir's words, her face went pale.

"Fenrir! I will do it, I was actually going to do it,"

But Fenrir just quickly refuted the idea.

"Nooo! Two of you shouldn't do it, Sex with an apocalypse being will be the last key in his seal and when it breaks, you two will be forced by universal law to kill him, you shouldn't do that,"

Leviathan and Phoenix both looked at each other confused. In the memories they got, there was every information about how Fenrir died and the reason for Nikol's birth. They thought he would be Fenrir's reincarnation because right now, the one who was talking with them was just a shard that is sealed inside Nikol's body.

They thought once the seal broke, that little shard would combine with Nikol's body and Fenrir will be come back but seeing his face, they knew there was something else to this than a simple reincarnation.

"Artemis! Find another goddess just now or do it, I won't tell again," Fenrir said and vanished leaving Nikol on her shoulder unconscious.

As soon as he left, Artemis clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Same crazy, pushy bastard as always! I don't know what she found in him to love," She said and looked at the boy that was leaning onto her shoulders.

Artemis felt a surge of mixed emotions when she saw her son, Nikol, lying unconscious on her shoulder. She had not seen him in centuries, and the sight of him brought a flood of memories from their past together. Her heart swelled with joy and sadness at the same time.

Without a second thought, Artemis rushed forward and gently took Nikol to her shoulder and made him comfortable on it. She held him close, cradling his head in her arms as she caressed his hair. She could feel his breath on her skin, and she knew that he was alive but unconscious.

Tears welled up in Artemis' eyes as she gazed upon her son. She had missed him so much, and the thought of losing him again was unbearable. She couldn't believe that he was back in her arms after all these years.

"Welcome home, my dear Nikol," she whispered softly, her voice choked with emotion. "I have missed you so much."

Artemis looked down at her son, taking in every detail of his face. His features had changed since the last time she had seen him, but he was still her son. She felt a sense of pride and love wash over her, and she knew that she would do anything to protect him. Even if it means doing something that she shouldn't do.

"I will never let anything happen to you again, Nikol," Artemis said, her voice firm and determined. "I promise you that."historical

With that, Artemis continued to cradle her son, holding him close as she waited for him to wake up. She knew that they had a lot to catch up on, and she was ready to be there for him, no matter what.

Leviathan looked at this scene with her gaze filled with question.

Wasn't Nikol my brother? But I love him, but if he isn't my brother, can I love him in the same way as I did before?

Fenrir didn't say anything about his true identity, so she didn't know.

After a few minutes, they decided to take Apollo and capture him, so he won't try anything absurd again and everyone went inside with heavy faces.

"I will explain everything, from beginning to the end, you might have memory but some of them might lack information," Artemis said to both Phoenix and Leviathan and decided to leave but then she saw a familiar-looking person. She was hiding behind a tree with a nervous look but Artemis quickly identified her since she looked exactly like the person, she fancied.

"A high elf? What is she doing here?" She questioned, but nobody knew the answer.

Leviathan also took a closer look and she couldn't help but roll her eyes, as the person in front of her was none other than her brother's lover.

"Tisha, what are you doing here?"

"I-I don't know when I woke up I was here all alone, I came here because I felt Nikol's presence," Tisha answered and came out of the spot, she was hiding with her eyes looking at everything with a wary look.

She had a scared look on her face because seeing the goddess, that she was worshipping in real life wasn't a pleasant experience for her, as it reminded her of everything that happened.

"Follow us, you can't stay here, I will tell you everything about your ancestor too," Artemis said and started walking toward the place that looked like a mansion, but in reality, it was a huge mana tree, which was designed by Artemis herself.
