He had accepted it once.
The condition.
The mercy.The lie.
"You can have anything… but not her."
But the more Caelum walked among the ruins of prayers and the ashes of gods, the more one truth carved itself into the foundation of his immortal soul:
"If they cannot bring her back… then I will go where she lives."
And so he began again.
Reconstructing every broken formula.Studying every dimension.Inventing the impossible.Twisting the very logic of creation.
It took one thousand more years.
And in that silence, he built something terrifying:
A key.To another timeline.
One where she lived.
Where fate never stole her breath.Where her hands still built machines, and her laughter still echoed in labs beneath the stars.
But to access it—
He would need to do the unthinkable.
Kill the Supreme God.
The Return to the Throne Beyond Skies
Caelum ascended again.
Not summoned.Not invited.
He broke the sky and forced his way into the divine chamber.
The throne was still there — carved from nebulae, surrounded by spinning stars, in a space where time had no meaning.
The Supreme God waited. Calm. Smiling faintly.
"I wondered when you'd return," the god said. "You've come to try again?"
Caelum didn't answer.
He raised his hand — and collapsed five universes just by lifting his finger.
He had not come to fight.He had come to erase.
The Final Battle
The Supreme God stood, shedding his divine form.
This time, he fought with everything.
Galaxies became blades.Black holes became fists.Time itself was shattered and rewoven as a cage.
He crushed entire planes between his palms.
But Caelum was no longer a man.
He had become something outside of fate.Something that remembered everything.Something that had lost, and learned, and built a second heart within the void.
He summoned every spell, every curse, every law he had rewritten.
He turned concepts into weapons.
He cast Loss as a spell.
He transformed Hope into a spear.
He wielded Love as a sword.
And Memory as a shield.
The battle tore through creation itself.
And at the end—
The Supreme God fell.
On his knees.
Bleeding starfire.
Looking at Caelum — not in hate, but in wonder.
"You really… would destroy everything," he whispered, "for one girl."
Caelum's voice shook as he raised his hand, the final blow trembling in it.
"No."
"I would destroy everything… for the chance to love her again."
And with that—
He struck.
The divine plane collapsed.
The Supreme God screamed as he was unraveled.
The throne exploded into light.
And the universe burned to nothing.
The Next Timeline
Darkness.
Silence.
Then—light.
Caelum opened his eyes in a world reborn.
Not scorched. Not cursed.
Gentle. Warm. Familiar.
His body felt different.
His heart was whole.
And there, beside a clear blue lake under a silver-leaf tree—
She stood.
Lysia.
Her hair was just as white.
Her eyes just as bright.
And when she turned, she smiled like nothing had ever been lost.
"You took long enough," she said.
Caelum couldn't speak.
He walked toward her slowly.
She stepped into his arms.
And for the first time in ten thousand years and two realities—
He held her.
Alive. Warm. Real.

Deep within his mind, a chime echoed.

"New life parameters set, Creator. You have… everything now."
Caelum stood still.
His body healed. His soul aligned.
No more curses.
No more gods.
Just a new world.
A second chance.
They Walk Again
Lysia took his hand.
"Do you remember how we met?" she asked.
"I never forgot," he said softly.
They walked together down a starlit road.
No thrones.
No wars.
Just peace.
But inside his mind, the system continued its scans.

Caelum smiled faintly.
For once—
There was nothing to fight.
Just her.
