252 [Playing with the Fates!]

[77th Return!]

[Castellina's POV!]

'Just... what is going on here?' I asked as I looked at the sky where that guy, Neptune, was literally playing with Laplace. It wasn't a matter of strength or power. Or even luck. It was a matter of fates and destiny.

While others don't know, these eyes that I possess have a special ability. It is one of the 10 most powerful abilities that I have. It gives me the power to see the fates of beings around me. Anyone I lay my eyes on will have their fates written in front of me. The threads of fates, the destiny they will have, all will be visible in front of me. It gets difficult as the power of the person in front of me increases, but even at the bare minimum, I can see the threads of fate that we all carry. And all the threads of fate that I can see on that guy, Adam, and his brother, Neptune, are the pitch black threads of fate. There were at least thousands of dark threads linking his body to various giants, Laplace and some even to Luciana.

It's normal to happen that way given we are in a war, but the thing is that...

'How are they... disappearing?' I questioned as I looked at the dark threads disappearing.

"Just because you lost something, you decided it was better to make others go through the same pain?" His eyes were calm. They did not pity Laplace, nor did they show any disgust at what he had done. They just observed Laplace as an adult would look at a child.

"Laplace. There are things you should do, and there are things you shouldn't. Why did you plunge into the way of cruelty when you had the means to find the answer in ways better than that? Young one, you are a fate weaver. You certainly have the means to go beyond normal. To do things the right way, yet you choose a strange path." Neptune then showed a hint of sadness.

"For a fate weaver, who is destined to create the path for this world. Aren't you a little too lost?" He asked as he looked at Laplace, who just observed him with blank eyes. The tears were still now, the eyes seemed really lost as Laplace pondered what Neptune had just said.

It made me wonder about the story of Laplace. We knew what Luciana had gone through, what we had done to her in all those years. It was tragic. After all this time, I still feel disgusted with myself that I was one of the people who forced her to go through such a tragic fate.

Was Laplace the same? Has he gone through something similar? Should I indulge in such thoughts and see it from a demon's point of view? I do not know. I feel sad, but we are enemies in this war.

But then again, just what kind of war is it? I once again looked at the duo, the brothers of salvation, the center of this war, as they controlled the entire flow. The extent of their power was unknown. The amount of power they had shown was far above what we can take. But the most deadly thing about them was their strange calmness that they were expressing. There was no tension on their face, as they just observed the battlefield and the people taking part in this war.

"Too much talk, no jutsu. Man, I am feeling a little cringe," Neptune then spoke as he made a weirded out expression before speaking,

"Let's try this another way, I guess."

And then he started making strange signs in the air in front of him.
