Re:write The Authors Transmigration-Chapter 272: Time’s up

The Iron Fortress presently known as the imperial capital holds a mystery buried for a thousand years. The creation of god and the devil were assembled in his own along with the lover who refused his advances. But knowing their habits of resurfacing through the present brings both knowledge and power beyond one’s imagination

"Open up! Say aaaaaah! Okay, what’s wrong? You normally aren’t that grumpy, are you in the mood? Want a quickie?" Memory Rachel jokingly says and her hands go up and down in a manner to incite Christoper

"You know what Rachel... I think I am. Come on let’s go to the bathroom. My junior’s been acting up," Christoper roughly takes her hand, and memory Rachel is astonished by the force of his tug

"That’s a joke right– Whoa! Since when was your grip so strong? Hey, Morris im not emotionally prepared. Hey!!!"

Memory Rachel was all red and bewildered by the moment and that led to Christoper detonating the coffee shop. The people within the vicinity stand menacingly and stare right at them beneath the raging flames. Their hands synchronized with one another and placed their hands near the neck and swiped like it was a blade

(Are they still alive? But how? That attack was at least half of your power. Just what is the reason behind their invincibility?)

’I don’t know either... but it looks like they’ll only attack once a certain amount of time has passed. I tried killing them numerous times but it didn’t work. Looks like the boss for this stage has yet to arrive let’s take this time and find ourselves a great spot,’

[Thats certainly is the right choice in mind... also do you know what’s taking that old fool to return? Weirdly enough I miss him]

’Great benefactor I feel ya... that psycho has no right to be late, just what in the world is he doing? I just asked him to do me a little favor and he’s taking his sweet time. Where the fuck is that deity at when his avatar needs him the most?’

...

Meanwhile at the ruined workshop

"Unleashing maximum output..." The shell of Deus, Hugo’s current vessel strained itself to escape but the never-ending supply of golems was too much

"Jin what time is it?" Rachel concentrated her all on managing the creation of the golems along with securing their defenses

"8 minutes..."

"Earlier than I expected. It seems we won’t be here to see that thing... oh well I already have him under my palms," Rachel modified the entirety of the workshop to create a bunker within their vicinity

"That thing...? Just what the hell is that thing? You don’t mean Deus? The thing who once inhabited Hugo’s body?"

"Well duh, who do you think im mentioning the pope? Although they can no longer become one... it’s rather troublesome,"

"What the!!?" They felt an explosion shaking the entirety of Rachel’s bunker causing them to fall with the immensity of its force

"Relax I turned the entire workshop into our bunker. She wouldn’t strain herself... her existence isn’t enough to kill Morris," Metallic beams began descending upon the rising force bashing and dashing through layers upon layers of metallic walls

"Fuck! Did I mess it up again? How the hell did that thing spot us? I’m sure I didn’t leave anyone out to die," Shin was panicking and retraced every move

"Keep your pants tight there you’re closer to shiting than us escaping. Also, this isn’t your fault. It’s because of your friend over there," Rachel diverts everyone’s attention to the mountain of golems where Hugo was buried for a minute or two

"Hugo? You mean that kid I met back at the first trial... guess he’s going places. What’s his connection?" Airis tended to Shin’s recovery whilst using her bats to latch to both Jin and Rachel to restore their strength

"... they became two separate beings but their connection remains. But their link is there. And news flash he’s a beacon," As the clanking of metal ever draws closer Jin Kurenai and Velvet Airis rise in attempts to stall with so little power they hold

"What are you guys doing?" The two were confused by her calm manner as their biggest threat was nearing their position

"What else we’re going to stall?" The two synchronized their lines as they spoke of their plan

She sighs and places her palm on her noggin and rubs the ever-living shit before glaring at the two stooges. "We’re miles away from Hugo Miller. Are you two that retarded? If I knew don’t you think I already made some plans ahead?"

"Oh... well that makes sense,"

Rachel brings a monitor by her temporary authority and they view the wreckage caused by Deus. "See... we’re too far,"

As they first witness Deus’s power they can only hope that Rachel’s plan never fails for what they saw was inexorable. The sheer brute strength was on par or higher than the Demon King Uberious the being close to darkness itself. But it’s quite understandable for all the demons suffered from being sealed while these angelic freaks amassed their strength

"You still think of stalling? Even if you face using ’Manifestation’ right here and now it’s useless. Her only equal is the Demon King,"

They watch as Deus dives head-first and quickly ends the golems Rachel instructed in slowing her pace. All in all, she was powerful but she never had something that Rachel possessed and that was the knowledge of her plans. She plunges blindly in Hugo’s direction without even the slightest thought that her moves were orchestrated all along

"Three minutes left... and seeing how far we are it’s all going as planned. She has no idea where the intruders are,"

She wasn’t bluffing the flames which enhanced the core and all its controls were imbued by a rich amount of demonic energy. Although that blessing was bestowed onto him by the Greek god of fire his current vessel remained that of a demon. Knowing that Hephaestus gave only permission for the use of his flames but its attributes lie within its wielder

"That’s hella impressive also why is this going your way? It can be that simple. If it is why did we widen our distance?"

"Shin has a point... spill it, Ainsley. I don’t have the strength to do jack shit no more. You better be right,"

"It’s because I know all of you are worn out. With that said I orchestrated the finale. Also, did you guys notice you were bugged?"

The three hastily searched every nook and cranny of their body and saw nothing thinking it was just Ainsley’s little joke. But Jin along with Airis knew what she meant by all of that and the mark Hugo placed was something they can never erase. Since light came shining upon their bunker they never noticed the radiating cuts they sustained imbued with a heavenly aura

"Fuck we’re so dead, aren’t we?" As the monitor shows Deus’s arrival in the aiding Hugo her trajectory changes and points toward their bunker

"Two minutes..." Rachel then manipulates the contraption of the workshop to create towering golems to slow her down

"You damn pest... I don’t know your end game but hopes of escaping are no more. Prepare to meet your maker," Deus’s voice echoes throughout their bunker and the view of the monitor darkens implying that she broke their camera

"Just get out of here! I’ll just tell you everything I know. We still have some time. You don’t need to die," Shin tugged Rachel’s shirt pulling her closely with tears running down her face as she pleaded for their escape

Ainsley responded with her arm before she threw her violently to the ground and glared upon meeting her eyes. "Can the two of you act more like Airis for two fucking minutes? Don’t yell at me when in concentrating. It pisses me off!"

"Urgh what gives–" novelbuddy.cσ๓

As Shin began to recover from her abrupt fall she was pulled from the ground with Rachel tightly strangling her neck. "Don’t you even think of killing yourself? Do you know how painful each of your regressions is? I felt like I was gonna die,"

"That means..." Shin was shocked to even talk and Rachel seeing this returned to her post of controlling the flow of the workshop

"I order you... mobilize every golem left. All the nonapplicable equipment in making the bunker use them as materials,"

[System: The entirety of the workshop has now heeded your command. The structure is being affected. You’ll experience tremors]

Time could be nowhere on their side even just two whole minutes felt like an eternity as the violent heavenly existence drew closer. Towering golems collapsed and those two small or equal in size were swept by a wave of her illuminating hand. A beam of radiating light penetrated through their bunker and they saw the light speeding across miles upon miles of land

[Rachel are you okay?]

’Urgh... im fine. It’s almost over so im sorta relieved. Did you just come to check up on me? Is there something else?’

[You push yourself more than you already have. I asked your followers for some assistance. Good luck Ainsley]

She smirks and even though she’s tired from abusing her authority she confidently says along in a cheerful tone. "Luck? Since when was I lucky? As my ex once said there’s no such thing as luck. Only those who are overly prepared,"

"Chrono Ritardando!" The effects of her blessing this time were on a higher scale between

"Nothing’s happening?"

"Look we’re not the ones slowing down," As Jin points out they look through the gaping hole of their bunker and spot the moving sphere of light

It never stopped but the way it moves it’s too slow and yet the world’s time naturally flows whilst it never slowed. Minutes pass and just when the sphere reaches their lives the three saw with their own eyes the second arrival of god. Rachel raises her pocket watch slightly tapping a button which further reveals the mystery behind this relic

"It’s a catalyst,"

"Spot on as always Kurenai,"

Although avatars were chosen to be the god’s way of returning to the world some weren’t able to. Their powers being so great destroy their chosen vessel in mere seconds causing them to lose their only entrance. But the gods never wavered in defeat and thus created the ’Catalyst’ hand-crafted relics for gods to store their power

"Time is forever cruel... unstoppable, irreplaceable, and unwavering over death. It comes for all of us ain’t that right, Chronos?"

Everything stopped, just as time was forever moving, it more eternally belonged to a certain entity unaffected by its laws. The Titan Chronos being destructive, all-devouring, and unstoppable represents time perfectly for all to see. He is the only being capable of being over the laws of time and with the debut of his avatar so too was she

"Let’s get this over with," She disappears from everyone’s view and reappears at Shin’s back, and her touch reveals an imaginary thread

"Hold still..." Jin witnesses as she waves her scythe and severs the thread bringing pain unimaginable to Shin

A circle forms around the ground similar to what Kurenai saw when they regressed and once it triggered so was her manifestation. "Everything is Complete..."

Rachel collapsed and she was escorted by her man whilst the two were shocked as they returned to where it all began the infirmary. What’s more, Shin was there. Rachel momentarily severed her connection through time. And when they regressed she never returned to the underground tunnels but remained by their side until the end

[That thread was her connection through time itself. Shin didn’t just send you back she took her with you. And before she collapsed she repaired her connection]

As Hephaestus explained what went down Jin’s impression of her changed and forever reinforced her words. "She is our ally... that speed... and that manifestation of hers. It’s not that she’s afraid she was too strong to begin with,"
