"It’s Lord Orravyn, he and the other Infinities wish to talk."
Lord Light reported. He seemed frustrated and... afraid.
How could he not be?
They had been planning, they had been making sure that every single thing remained a secret, and that they would make the first move before anyone could realize. Lady Seraphielle was the one who was supposed to contact the other Infinities, not the other way around.
Lord Light’s mind had already started spinning.
Why do they wish to talk?
Why only now?
What were they trying to do?
Do they... know?
He couldn’t help but think more and more strongly about that last possibility, because if the other Infinities knew and had been preparing proper defense, then the element of surprise they had been hoping to get would be ruined and they...
Their position would be much, much worse.
Light needed this, desperately.
So the more Lord Light thought about it, the more stuck he felt.
Seraphielle, on the other hand, was much calmer. She looked at Lord Light and—
"Did they say something?"
She asked, but honestly, she already knew the answer. The Infinities were like her; they wouldn’t say anything. So even before Lord Light could shake his head, Seraphielle had already stood up from her throne and looked in a particular direction.
A direction where she could sense the other three were gathered.
She then took a step forward and she—
"Be prepared to move the moment I give the command."
"Lady Seraphielle, the preparation—"
"I will stall, but if I fail, move with whatever we have. Leave the lower-level worlds, focus on the stronger ones."
"I understand."
Lord Light nodded and Seraphielle disappeared.
Lord Light stood at the temple for a few seconds, preparing himself for the grand War that could start any moment now.
Then, he began communicating with other Light Borns, giving orders to rush the preparations even further.
Even the Light Borns who had been resting after working tirelessly were sent to work again.
...
On the other side, Seraphielle appeared in a giant room with a ridiculously large table in the middle, the same room where the Infinities always held their discussions.
The only difference was that this time, it was the actual Infinities who had gathered, not their Wills.
A rare sight, one that for a moment made Seraphielle pause as she glanced at the beings sitting in the room. Only for a very small second, of course; she then quickly shook her head and sat on her seat.
Silence fell in the room, no one spoke, almost as if the four strongest beings in the Universe were trying to silently read each other.
Seraphielle, of course, had no complaints; she was hoping to stall for a few hours anyway, she wouldn’t mind spending a few moments in these foolish games.
Minutes passed by in moments. For any other being in the Universe, sitting at the table in silence for this long would make them lose their minds. Even beings like Auren, or the strongest Supreme Borns of other Supreme Worlds, would be the same.
The Infinities, however, did not care.
They just waited—
Until one of them had no choice but to speak.
And that one became Orravyn.
"I apologize for calling all of you out all of a sudden."
The Infinity of Eternity spoke, looking at the people present in the room.
"Bah!"
The Infinity of Darkness, Ul’Thakar, shook his head in his usual aggressive tone.
"Don’t spout something you do not mean!"
Then, he turned towards Seraphielle and his grin widened.
"Not to mention if there is someone who should apologize, it is her."
Seraphielle tilted her head in confusion when she heard those words.
"What do you mean?"
She asked directly.
"You have to ask?"
Ul’Thakar seemed surprised.
Then, he shook his hand dismissively and—
"As if you don’t know what I am talking about. Don’t play innocent, Seraphielle. It is disgusting."
"I do not know."
Seraphielle answered in an assertive tone.
Ul’Thakar looked at her for a moment and—
"You closed your worlds. It affected the Universal Scale; countless have suffered. For someone who screams peace, happiness and whatnot—
It was quite a selfish move."
He spoke. For a moment, Seraphielle sighed in relief.
They did not know.
She thought inwardly.
Like Lord Light, she too had the same fear in her head, but seeing that even Ul’Thakar did not mention it, it was clear that they didn’t know.
Or...
It could be that Ul’Thakar did not know, but others did.
Seraphielle doubted Orravyn, but of course, she didn’t say or show anything, she wasn’t foolish enough to give her plan away through her expressions.
She was... a few eras too old to make a mistake like that.
"I did what was necessary."
Seraphielle answered. There was this annoyed tone in her voice that she tried to hide, but couldn’t, and Ul’Thakar enjoyed every moment of it.
