Level Up Legacy Chapter 1375 When?

Chapter 1375 When?

After hearing that the Healer Guardian had a message, Arthur decided to take the conversation elsewhere. Oren was unsure if he should follow or not, but Arthur invited him anyway. The three left the Healing Wards and went toward the balcony.

"Tell me the message," Arthur said as he stood in front of the railing, staring at the crowds of people around his dome celebrating his victory. Tiara was silent for a short moment and closed her eyes. Then, she opened them and began telling the letter.

[Dear Friend,]

[You must be wondering how I have the heart to talk to you after what happened in the previous timeline. I believed that I was doing the right thing, since our enemy cannot be defeated nor destroyed. You proved me wrong.]

[After witnessing how you merged the two timelines and solved a paradox in existence, I realized that I had underestimated your resolve and hatred toward the Nameless and those behind it. I realized that I knew who you had been, but not who you are.]

[It saddens me that we stand divided, even after the countless years we spent in each other's company. The resolve I once had to help Devaheim is now gone, shattered by what you have achieved.]

[After countless years, I managed to reincarnate again, but this time, something new happened. As the new tides of change arrived, I witnessed your decision to merge the two worlds for the sake of love. At that point, I had a choice to either enter this world and meet you with shame... or to seek redemption.]

[Tell me, dear friend. Have you heard of the Game of Worlds? I believe that you have, at this point. I never fancied racing against countless other beings to reach the summit, but meeting you again changed that. Thus, I made my choice to leave this world forever, and seek higher realms to understand what we have done to Earth. Your actions of merging the two worlds have allowed us guardians to leave this prison.]

[I will leave this message with my descendant, whom I entrusted with my knowledge. May that knowledge heal your wounds and sorrows, but I expect no forgiveness for what I have done. You were once a friend, but I made an enemy out of you.]

[Farewell, Arthur Netherborne. May fate let us meet again, so I can express my apology in person. This message serves no purpose other than a confession that you were right. Devaheim was never an ally we could trust.]

[Your foolish friend, Lyari.]

Tiara finished the message, while Arthur kept staring into the horizon. His long hair fluttered with the wind, and Oren could feel his brother's mood shift slightly.

"Is this the rest of the message that he once left me?" Arthur asked before turning toward Tiara. "You gave me a book that had his message once, but I refused to see him."

"That was a different message," Tiara said as she closed her eyes. "I will not reveal what he said in that message, because it will do none of us good. But this is what he wished I convey to you, Arthur."

"What is that game?" Oren asked, interrupting the two. Arthur turned toward him with a slightly complicated expression. "Am I allowed to know?"

"You are destined to know, but it would only serve to marginalize our suffering in this wretched place," Arthur answered with a sigh. "We are living in a lower realm than the others. We can ascend and obtain more powers, and those who ascend to the highest realm win the game."

"And what if someone does?" Oren asked with confusion. "Do they join Devaheim?"

"Devaheim is the realm before the end," Tiara explained with a shake of her head. "G.o.ds are nothing but ascenders who chose to prevent anyone else from finishing the game, since they could not do it themselves."

"Most believe that finishing the game would let you reshape the world and the entire universe," Arthur added with a small smile. "Someone told me about it, but I never bothered considering it."

"But you are the only person from the lower realm who can win," Tiara said with confusion. "Ragnar should have partic.i.p.ated in this game as well."

"He did, in fact," Arthur said with a smile as he gazed into the distance. "And he attacked the kingdom of G.o.ds the moment he ascended. He used wrath to connect the realms together and summoned his armies. But he lost."

"And you have no desire to partic.i.p.ate?" Tiara asked again, her frown betraying her worries.

Arthur was silent, and Oren could tell that his brother had changed his mind after going through whatever he went through. Tiara then knelt on the ground all of a sudden, prompting Arthur to turn toward her.

"I have another request to ask," she said before raising her eyes. "I plead that you let Janea survive the famine. It has killed countless of our people and-"

"I will kill the Horseman of Famine," Arthur interrupted her as he offered her a hand to help her stand. "And I will do so without a second thought."

"...what changed?" Tiara asked with confusion as she rose.

"Nothing changed, but I realized that I have no enemies in this world, nor any other," Arthur answered her with a smile. "People will do everything they can to survive. Even the G.o.ds are consumed by greed."

"Then, you will help us?"

"The moment that I make sure everyone I know is safe and sound," Arthur nodded toward her. "I shall pay Janea a visit."

Tiara bit her lower lip and tears fell from her eyes. Then, she threw herself at Arthur and hugged him tight. Oren could tell that she came here with little hope to save her nation, and Arthur did not turn her away.

After thanking him several times, Tiara left to heal more people that had been caught in the earlier battle. Arthur and Oren were the only ones remaining on the balcony, and the latter had an important question to ask.

"I know that you are going to leave this world to partic.i.p.ate in that game," Oren said without his brother even admitting it. "I just want to know when?"
