"Fran, I want to fight you!" Acheron exclaimed as I was drinking tea, so shocked by this news that I just spat out the tea.
"Why?" I asked her, clearing my throat.
"I'm just wondering how strong you are! We've never fought before." She replied.
"Acheron, do you even realize that if we fight you at full strength, reality will just collapse!"
"That won't happen if we fight in the "horizon of existence"!"
"Still…" I wanted to refuse, but something inside me wouldn't let me do it.
"Okay!"
"Fran!" Alpha and Sakura shouted.
Which attracted the attention of Luna and Lucy, who were playing on the sidelines, but were still under surveillance.
"What happened mom?" the girl asked me, bowing her head sweetly.
"Yeah, what's the point of all that screaming?" Luna added
"She's going to fight Acheron with all her might!" Alpha exclaimed.
"Oh… Is that bad?" Luna asked.
"Yeah, if they fought in the normal world, they would destroy reality itself!" Sakura added
"Well, that's true, but they won't fight in the real world, will they?"
"No, we won't!" I answered her.
Then I looked at everyone.
"And no one will come with me! I'm not sure I can protect you!" I said in a stern voice.
"Mom, you'll be okay, right?" Lucy asked me, running up to me and hugging me.
"Everything will be fine!" I told her and stroked her head.
I got up from the couch and looked at Acheron, nodding to her.
Everyone else came up and hugged me.
"Take care of yourself!" Sakura said.
"Yeah, don't come back to us as a cripple!" Alpha added, hugging me.
"Hmm, what about your breasts…" I didn't let her finish and punched her in the stomach.
"Okay, let's not pay attention to my perverted sister. I wish you luck," Luna said.
"Mom is the strongest!" the griffin girl exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" she said, grabbing Acheron's hand, and in that same second we found ourselves in her "horizon of existence".
"Um, Acheron, who is that woman?" I asked Acheron, as there was a woman unfamiliar to me in her space.
"Who…"
I noticed how the woman looked at me and Acheron, and I felt a noticeable connection with her. And at that very moment, another girl appeared next to her, from whom the energy of life emanated.
"The aeon of nothingness and the aeon of abundance," Acheron said.
I stood rooted to the spot.
What the hell? What are they doing here? Okay, nothingness, Acheron and I are emonators, but abundance?
[The aeon of abundance is interested in you]
[Do you want to become an emonator of abundance]
It was the voice of the system that offered me to become an emonator, strangely, but last time I was not offered anything.
"System, what should I do?" I asked in my mind
[I suggest you accept her offer! By becoming an Emonator, your healing abilities will reach a new level of strength, and your regeneration will be almost instantaneous. This will also help you in the coming battle. Without it, the chance of surviving is less than 10%]
What the fuck?
"If I accept this offer, then what chance do I have?"
[99.9%]
Great, but I still have a 0.1% chance of dying. How unlucky do you have to be for this to happen to me.
Then I looked at the two women, one of whom was nothing, I don't know how else to describe her. I realized that she was a woman at all, because of her breasts, which are quite large. Although I don't know why the Aeons even have breasts?
The second girl, the Aeon of Plenty, was quite tall, had blonde hair, elf-like ears, and antlers on her head that looked like a deer's. Her eyes were emerald green. Like the first one, this one also had large breasts, only these were clearly visible due to her revealing outfit.
"System, why do they even look like this? I mean, it's nice to look at, but I'm sure this isn't their original form!"
[Sorry, I don't know either! But I think they might have been watching you and realized that you'd rather see girls than guys or some space creatures.]
So they're like this because of my interests?
"Fran, I don't understand why they're here!" Acheron said.
"Because of our battle?" I asked.
"Why? The aeon of nothingness is of no interest at all, but the aeon of abundance…"
"Wants to make me an emonator!" I said, interrupting her.
"I see!" she replied.
"In any case, do you still want to fight?" I asked her.
"Yes!" she replied.
"Then can you change the "horizon of existence" so that it is not empty?" I asked.
"I can, but why?"
"I want to see how much our battle will affect the world around us."
She nodded, and I turned to the system.
"Accept her offers!" I said
[Path:abundance added]
{Greetings to you, child}-I heard a charming voice in my head
Well, great, another voice for my schizophrenia.
{Child, if you don't want to talk to me...}
Okay, stop, can you read my thoughts?
{Yes, I can, just like non-existence, it just doesn't care about your thoughts}
Okay, then can you tell me why you wanted to make me an emonator?
{Because you are quite an interesting creature. To make an aeon of nothingness show interest is quite difficult, even more likely impossible. But you did it!}
Well, thank you, but why you too? Or am I a toy for you, interesting to watch? And why do you look like that anyway?
{Because, after I found out that someone had appeared who could interest an aeon of nothingness, I also became interested. And don't think that we consider you a toy, these are too superficial thoughts of mortals. Although I admit, what is in your soul will make you immortal, but for now you are mortal. And as for our appearances, there is no need to think too much, we are just comfortable in them!}
In the soul? You mean the system!
[Yes, most likely!]-she answered.
{Hm, so that's why you said about another voice in your head}
[Can you hear me?]
{Yes! Anyway, look, your friend finished making the playground}
She said and I looked at Acheron and the area around us.
We were now standing in the center of some city, and there were skyscrapers around us.
"Well, I'm done! Now!" she said and looked at me, taking Naught out of its sheath.
Her appearance immediately changed, her hair became white, and there were red horns on her head. Her clothes also changed.
When she took her katana out of its sheath, I felt the space humming around us.
I also summoned Naught, and with one movement took it out of its sheath. The same changes were happening in me. I felt my hair lengthening and going down my back. I also felt two tendrils on my head, and my clothes changed. They began to look more like a gothic lolita dress.
The space hummed even louder as I pulled out my sword from its sheath, but I didn't pay attention because this wasn't the real world.
Looking at Acheron, I took a stance and prepared for battle.
