Max woke up suddenly. This feeling was sick. He didn't feel like he was awake not did he feel like he was sleeping. It felt weird, like his mind was going through hallucinations. When he opened his eyes, all he could see around him was a bright white light. Nothing anywhere.
He slowly got up and realized that there was nothing there. He was the only colored being in this infinite white place. The front back, right left, up and down, everything was white and endless. He could touch the "floor" which didn't exist.
???: We should stop meeting like this, Maximus Augilleris Steefan!
Max heard a familiar voice, a chilling voice. He turned around fast to see Mr. Time, a guy in green robes. It was swaying in the breeze, even though there were no signs of wind in this mysterious place.
Max: Where am I??
Time: Straight to the point, I see.....you are in your mind. I pulled you here to converse with you..
Max sat silently. Why was his mindzone blank. And how the hell did he even enter his mind?? Max had questions, which he chose to ignore.
Max: Tell me then....what do you want??
Max asked in a stern manner. For some reason he didn't trust Time at all. There was no animosity from him anymore, but he couldn't bring himself to trust him yet.
Mr. Time just walked up to Max and stared him in the eye, through that small hole in his mask.
Time: So...how'd you do it..??
Max: Do what??
Time: Don't mess with a God like me....you know what I'm talking about..
Max, in fact, didn't know what he was talking about.
Max: How I defeated Dreacon??
Mr. Time got angry as he slammed the scepter he had on the ground. The sound echoed through the white room.
Time: I was talking about, how you are in control of the body, and not the God??!
Max was flabbergasted. He hadn't thought about it until now. But he was kinda different compared to his previous incarnations, solely by the fact that he existed before being an avatar of God.
Time: YOU...are an Anamoly....a Paradox being that shouldn't exist.
Max: What do you mean...??
Max was full on interrogating now. He had no time to make quips.
Time: You...are a different case. Usually, the God takes a form of a human being...only problem is...He loses a lot of power and is a mortal. All his nine previous incarnations failed. That's why he wanted a final one...to end it all.
Max: Then why didn't he just take the form again?
Time: Each time he does that, He is reborn as a baby. It takes too much time. He wanted an empty body with no soul...
Mr. Time looked at Max.
Max: ...me..!!
Time: Yes. The ritual was complete...but for some reason...your soul immediately returned when you were turned into an Avatar. It was supposed to be the God Himself in control...and somehow a weak human like you is....I don't understand.
Max looked at his own left arm. The Universe itself in his grasp. He was technically dead until the God possessed him. But he returned. He had possibly died of the gun shot, but it still didn't make any sense. The fact that he didn't have any memories of that was also not helping.
Time: How did you do it?? How can a mere human being, push away the presence of God??
Max smiled his devilish smile. He didn't know how he did it. Nor did he know how long it will last. But he knew that he had a second chance at life. He HAD to see his family no matter what.
Max: Maybe...I'm just a stronger presence than your so called God...
Max grinned at Mr. Time.
Time: What blasphemy!!!
Max: I don't care. I don't know how I was back, but it's thanks to you guys...so you have my gratitude. But I'm sick of you Gods to be honest..
Max was terrified saying all that, but he was putting up a strong front.
Max: I can see you are very angry...but do not fret. I will Save the world. I don't know how God would have...but I know how I can.
Time: Do you have any idea what you are talking about?? You Paradox creature.
Max: Paradox huh? That's a cool name for one such as myself....you know...I was never really a great guy...but now..I'm a hero..I can do a lot of good.
Time: Good as in ...what humans think is good? That is filled with variables such variables??
Max's smile vanished for a second. Then he looked at Mr. Time with a serious expression.
Max: That's where you and I are different!! You Gods are all logical...I choose what's right for humanity based on the emotions behind it. It might seem wrong...but that's who I am..!!
Mr. Time cut his speech short. He intervened and talked.
Time: That's enough. You don't have long anyway. I know when you will be erased. I've seen the future.....you are waking up too...
Max realised his body fading. He still had a lot of questions, but instead of rambling about it, he decided to say one last thing.
Max: I'm telling you now! I don't care what God it is...but if they ever harm my friends or family or any innocent human being...they will suffer!! And I'll be the one to stop them!!
Max smiled one last time, and woke up.
