Chapter 55 - A grandma's concern

An old woman with white curly hair, dark skin, and brown eyes sat on a branch as she tapped her phone screen.

"Angelo, you are really trying to give me another heart attack."said Matilda as she sat up, her long black skirt fluttering in the wind.

A tree branch flew from the ground towards Matilda as she grabbed it.Suddenly her phone started to ring as she looked at it.

"Oh, it's ryuzick."Matilda answered her phone as she put it towards her ears."Matilda, your grandson, is the single most destructive force since your daughter."said ryuzick as Matilda smiled.

"Well, what can I say it's just like how we all were kids, but I suppose even we weren't shifting the world at this fast pace."said Matilda.

"I suppose it's history repeating itself they are the new generation of Orion devils."said Matilda."You know, every time angelo creates a crisis, it inevitably leads to a good outcome."said ryuzick.

"Yeah, it's crazy to think that had he not been such a magnet for trouble, none of those children would be alive, and neither would tetra."said Matilda.

"I could have gone without the sleepless nights for three years and the maternal urge to destroy both Zina and Freesia." Said Matilda.

"In the end, I guess he's good he showed up when he did. After all, he had just started going through puberty, and he had no idea how to perform the rituals to make sure he didn't cause the universe to collapse."said ryuzick.

"I guess, but it's been eighteen years since I saw my daughter granted she was thirty-five, and I was the one urging her to get married, but still."said ryuzick.

"Of course, you had to mention that I hate remembering how old I am. I guess voudaju has it perks in giving you immortality.

Unfortunately, unlike you, I can't make myself look twenty again."said ryuzick."Why would you us looking older gives us so many advantages besides I've accepted my grandma roll."said Matilda.

"Yeah, but anyone on our level will instantly discern what we are and what we can do, so looking old is useless."said ryuzick.

"I suppose you're right. However, I would like to point out that going back to your twenties will cause the disappearance of your beard you're so proud of."said Matilda.

"Well, I suppose being old has it's perks such as being able to stroke my chin as I give a stupid answer to the kids when they ask me a question."said ryuzick.

"Anyway, we're off topic, so what will the uninted consequences of this be."said ryuzick."You say that like thousands aren't going to be dying."Said Matilda.

"What can I do as you've seen a barrier been placed around the entire country.Which means the families are planning something."said ryuzick.

"I suppose I'll leave this up to Angelo he always finds a way, but I will be using my authority over nature to save a few people. My entering myself could be devastating, but a few remote tree fairies should do."said Matilda.

"So you're not gonna kill angelo."said ryuzick."Oh, no, I have the special branch ready."said Matilda.Ryuzick started to laugh.

"Give the boy a head start."said ryuzick."Well, considering I need to complete my tetherment ritual, I think not."said Matilda.

"Oh, that's so tell me what disease willyou have to create this time and it won't destroy humanity right."said ryuzick

Matilda's stayed silent as ryuzick sighed."Fine, I won't pry further, but considering you're on that island, I suppose you're going to trap it their to delay it's effect on humanity."

"I don't know how much longer I can live like this. Imagine if we had kept getting stronger theoretically their are twelve levels to Voudaju mastery.

And if level ten required such a quartering tetherment task, what would level 12 bring me? What would I be forced to do or die and become a law or natural force of the universe."said Matilda.

"I guess it has to be like this to stop the art of duel welding to keep so many elements that will start to fundamentally destroy a person.

But the universes themselves seemed to have noticed Voudaju's infinite power and decided that their had to be a balancing so that no one could exploit it's power and learn all the elements."said ryuzick.

"That didn't work, considering my ability, mother of nature, allows me to command nature to will."said Matilda.

"That's not the point you don't have the authority to fundamentally change very concepts of the universe with those other elements.

A theoretical level nine or eight master of all the element does an to keep this from happening they must go against the nature of each element.

And in trying to contradict each element, they'll fail and will start to either go mad or die worse case the become a parasite onto the universe itself."said ryuzick.

"I suppose it's good that it starts giving you these when your base Voudaju is level eight and not when each individual element is level eight."said Matilda.

"But then their was angelo and his father and grandfather, but mostly angelo. It's a good thing that the book has so many caveats. Imagine if he could just create everything free of charge."said ryuzick.

The book doesn't have caveats. The caveats it has is one that angelo can easily pay, that is, emotional energy. Unfortunately, angelo's Voudaju ability is not really sure you could call it that.

starts to make him become a ravaged beast that searches for emotional energy and is influenced by the world around him. Unfortunately, we don't live in a multivese good enough so that he becomes benevolent."said Matilda.

"I suppose you're limiting the matter too much."said ryuzick."Of course I am. No one truly wants to comprehend what something that is aware of everything and feels everything would react.

Luckily, at birth, he was severed from his true form, making sure that the negative energy could only try to mimic an angelo but could never fully corrupt the actual angelo.

Unfortunately, the real angelo still feels the effect of the world, and so does the clone consciousness, but at least the real angelo will be fine, and the negative persona will completely vanish after he receives enough emotional energy."said Matilda.

"Wait, does the clone angelo believe he is, angelo?"asked ryuzick." Yes, but he technically is and isn't ans. The other beings inhibiting angelo's consciousness play along as to make sure the actual angelo doesn't start refusing with his true body."said Matilda.

"Well, what would happen is angeko fused back together with himself?"asked ryuzick.Well, I'm not sure, but from what I was told, he'd start evolving and start descending into madness.

At that point, so many variables go into what happens that I'm not fully sure.Luckily, that will never happen."said Matilda.

Suddenly, a rifle opener up in front of matilda as a giant purple eye started to gaze at her.Suddenly purple flames flew from the rift.

Matilda raised her hand as the soil bended around her as a wall of diamond surrounded her body, but the diamonds melted upon immediately coming in contact with the flames.

Causing her to slam her feet on the ground as a giant carnivorous plant appeared behind her, opening its mouth and using a wind vacuum to absorb the flames.

Suddenly, a giant eye with wings appeared behind Matilda, causing flames to instantly engukf her body as the entire forest in a ten meter radius was incinerated.

The flames vanished, revealing Matilda standing around pure ash and burned soil completely unscathed as a metal like liquid substance fell off her clothing.

The eye then started to glow as one of its wings flew at Matilda's neck.Matilda's hand was then surrounded by green voudaju as she blocked the wing.

Causing the ground beneath her to crack and the island to start shaking.Matilda held her phone in one hand as she sighed.

"Ryuzick, it seems one of his parasitic wings gained sentience. I'll finish this conversation later."said Matilda as she hung up the phone.

Suddenly, the clouds in the sky turned black as the birds started to fly away.Suddenly, the entire island was dwarves by a massive lightning strike.

But before the island could be vaporized, Matilda slammed her foot on the ground as a massive statue of her rose up from the ocean.

The statue placed his body in a fetal motion above the island, completely blocking the lightning strike.The massive rain of lighting was then engulfed into the statues body as it's eye's started to glow.

The statue that raised it's hand which was the size of the entire island as a condensed lighting blast, flew from its finger straight towards the giant eye, completely vaporized it.

Leaving a massive gaping hole in the center of the island.But the purple light that remained of the eye suddenly came together, reforming its entire body.

"But now it had several arms around its wings.I hadn't had to deal with you things since angelo was fourteen. at least it's only one.

Luckily, you can only go to people. angelo is close to unfortunately the others probably aren't on an isolated island."said Matilda.

Suddenly, the creature grew ahead, and it started to scream as several rifts appeared in space

time.

"Why do I keep bringing bad luck to myself? I swear once I catch that boy."said Matilda as she grunted.

"These things have soul and cellular regeneration, so in order to waste my time exhausting their almost limitless energy, I feel like a parasite will do."

Suddenly, the statue above the island began to open its mouth as Matilda started to chantly.The creatures in a flash of lighting dashed at Matilda, who smiled.

"One of these things is about as string as base fifty percent angelo,mikel,alex or runea which is kinda pathetic ."

Suddenly, a small parasitic worm dropped into Matilda's hand as one of the creatures was inches away from cleaving her in half with its wing.

"Devore ire myugaka almphori!"Suddenly, the giant eye creatures stopped as they began to scream as the giant parasitic worms ate them from the inside.

Suddenly, all the plants and trees on the island started to withther and die, and soil became dry.Mayilda coughed out blood as she held her chest.

She looked down, ignoring the site of all the dead animals suddenly dropping dead as she bend diwn and touched the soil.

The soil was now dry and barren devoid of moisture."Such is the duality of nature to keep its power. One must not only create condition for life to thrive but for it to suffer as well.

"To become a god is to try and defy faith, but to become a moral god is to defy logic, and I suppose that's what I could never understand.

What we couldn't understand to create a planet nuture its children only to destroy it to further your own individuality may seem selfish, yet it is not any less immoral than what I have done here today."

The island started to shake as the giant statue of the lady who casted its shadow over the now destroyed land placed his hands under the sea.

As the island slowly started to be dragged down under the sea.As Matilda flew into the air. She watched the island sink as her mind flew back to more pressing matters.

"What could be going on in lanurga? The barrier stops all level eight ir above nasrers from entering.And since it's unbreakable, it's likely a relic, but to power such a relic could require countless lives.

Wait, could it be that their trying to reawakened the eight great relics of the four families."

Suddenly, the ocean beneath Matilda was slit in two as a massive gigantic stone soldier made up of magma earth and nickel flew up from the oceans crust and sent a punch towards her.

But Matilda's statue grabbed the golem as suddenly a cloaked figure holding a katan appeared behind Matilda and sent a horizontal slash towards the back of her neck.

The blade shattered upon touching Matilda's skin, causing the assassin to be shocked, but before the person could move, pure carbon dioxide filled their lungs, causing them to suffocate.

Several more statues that dwarves islands rose from the sea floor shaking the oceanic crust, but Matilda raised her hand as a golden necklace with a green gem in the center appeared on her chest.

The necklace glowed with golden light as a wave of bear infinite voudaju filled Matilda's body."Nature dismantle."

Suddenly, the giant statues cracked as the massive island sized rocks that made up their bodies started to crack as the statues fell apart.

Hitting the sea floor, causing the ocean floor to shake and giant tsunami waves to rise up as the oceanic plates started to shift.

The hundreds of assassins flying around her suddenly halted as fear filled their bodies."Assasins from the shindira country from the freasia continent, let me guess you from the watanguri family,based on that red tiger crest."said Matilda.

The assassin's stood on guard as the voudaju around them started to fluctuate.Matilda raised her hand as the sea started to split once more.

Matilda stared at who she assumed to be the leader.It was a girl wearing a black girl who had black hair and black eyes.Her face like her subordinates was coveted by a mask.

"You know killing children has never been my fortei, but I'm not against it."said Matilda as suddenly the massive statue behind her started to glow with golden light.

"Light infusion times one hundred billion light strike."The state then moved at a speed impossible for its size as the wind pressure from its hand split the sea as it struck down it's palm towards them.

Before they could be crushed, the girl pulled out a hair bin as black smoke surrounded them, causing them to vanish.

They appeared on a nearby island panting."Ms shigura, what should we do that woman is a monster?"said another assassin.

"We run."replied shigura."But we'll be killed for failure."Said, another girl."Our mission isn't to assassinate her it's to slow her down."said shigura.

"In what world were we successful in that either."Suddenly, the ocean started to recede as the ground started to tremble.

They looked past the receding ocean as they saw a stone finger that stretched over a mile beneath the sea floor.

Suddenly, the finger pressed down on the ocean floor as a massive wage of energy surged through the water, causing a tsunami wave to head straight towards the island about to sink the entire thing.

"She could have just crushed the island that was so unnecessary."said jishi, another assassin."Yes, it is, but I'm bored, so you kids may make good entertainment."said Matilda.

The assassin's suddenly turned only to see Matilda sitting beneath a tree on a rocking chair smiling as she held a coconut.

"I suggest you get moving. The island will be sinking soon."Suddenly, shigura appeared behind Matilda in a cloud of black fog.

Matilda grabbed her hand, but suddenly Matilda's hand went limp as shigura sent a punch towards her

face.

But Matilda didn't even flinch dispute the ground beneath her cracking."Poison no, no, I see it's an

ability."

Suddenly, the wave of water engulfed the island as it started to submerge underground.

"Matilda Matilda MATILDA what will we do about the angleckia situation."

Matilda then snapped back to reality.She stared at the children who had been sent to assassinated her.

"Sorry I was having a brief recall of earlier events now I'm wondering if those things were reacting to him."

"Well are you going to meet him?"asked ryuzick."I don't think I will my heart can't handle another wave of bad news and I don't think I'll be able to keep my composure if I were to face."said Matilda.

"Do you resent him?"Hearing ryuzick's question Matilda paused fir a moment."Yes a little for the trouble he caused but their's no doubt he's a good man and father but him being what he is deep down I think all three of us knew that nothing will be completely happy.

But my daughter an ice cold researcher like myself was happy so in the end that's all that mattered and I don't regret anything because despite the struggle many blessings have been brought to my doorstep.

It seems even if I never wanted a large family life has a way if giving you what you need and not what you want."

Hearing this ryuzick chuckled."It reminded me of how you were swept off your feet once."once ryuzick said this the phone call grew tense.

"I'm sorry I know it brings up bad memories of Marion and what happened last."It's fine afterall that was over thirty years ago I would say I moved on but saying such lies would only weigh down on my heart.

But regardless I'll keep living for angelo,Elisa,elric,Maria and all the others I wouldn't admit it then but I was lonely when Mary left.

But I'm not just an ordinary woman who will long for the joyous sight of her family before her time comes it was about time Mary started to live freely and I pretended to be okay.

Then I got the news she was pregnant I wanted to rip open a portal to the netherworlds right then and their."

"Oh I remember we had to drag you back but we were all their in spirit literally."Yeah I suppose so ryuzick but even that day wasn't without it's troubles angleckia's mother due to an attack was forced to go into a sealed state due to having to help keep Mary alive while angelotus did the ritual to keep angelo stable."

"Yeah I felt powerless watching but it was the first time I witnessed what the broader world held and it was that moment that reignited my passion to train.

Also who would of guessed that one of your ancestors met with one of the nine great mother spirits."

"Don't even mention that everything seems so bizarre thinking of of it all I wonder did angelo inherit any one of her abilities."said Matilda as ryuzick laughed.

"What's so funny?"asked Matilda a slight sense of annoyance in her tone.I'm just thinking of the irony of it all how your bloodline seems to always be entwined with them.

It truly is the work of fate."Work of fait huh well anyway gotta go I gotta finish beating these kids and then I'll head over to that country."Before ryuzick could respond Matilda hang up the phone as a smile crept on her face.

I'm not sure what's going on buy I'm done running I finally want answers
