“But, according to her, even starving this abomination wasn't enough. As best as she could remember, it has been twelve realities she's erased personally. Yet that monster still comes.” he finishes.
“Twelve times...” you say, stunned. She destroyed twelve entire realities, erased every single being herself all to try and starve that entity.
“Indeed.” he replies, a moment of silence hanging over you all.
“So, what do we do?” Towa asks, her voice suddenly far smaller than usual. “How do we stop it?”
“I... Don't know.” Mechikabura confesses, allowing you to see a small moment of vulnerability. “I do not know how we defeat this monster. But what I do know is we can't just surrender.”
“I agree. Whatever it takes, we have to stop that thing.” you reply, clenching your fist seriously. “If I can help stop this thing, let me know. I'll do what I can.”
“As will I.” your wife says as well, stepping forward. Mechikabura, a ghost of a smile across his lips nods.
“If your aid is needed, I shall not hesitate to reach out to any of you.” he answers your words. “But for now, I shall see what I can do to handle this situation. But, if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to reach out to me.”
He then turns his focus on you, eyes meeting your own.
“But don't try and engage that being on your own. Don't try and tear your way back outside of reality and challenge it again.” he warns you seriously. “Next time you might not get so lucky and escape it's gaze unscathed. Or... Changed.”
“Changed? What do you mean?” Towa immediately asks, you sensing her sudden panic. “Changed how?”
“Those who have come in contact with that monster, or even SEE it are changed. Even beings as powerful as Moro, who witness it have had their minds shattered, twisted and turned into its agents whose entire goal is to draw that monster to our reality. To open portals between our world, bridging the infinite void between where it is and our reality and letting it out to devour everything.”
Another moment of silence passes between you all inside the sphere, the air suddenly heavy with tension before he continues.
“For now, however, leave this problem to us.” he says. “Should your aid be required, I shall reach out. But, for now, this problem is ours to handle. Before I go, however, is there anything else?”
Well? Do you have any questions for the Demon God before he leaves?
