“Are you questioning my power as a Supreme Being?!”
“Actually, I am. Ever since you locked yourself away from us, things have gotten worse!”
“How dare you?!”
“It’s not just me. Everyone else thinks the same of your selfishness and your self-centeredness! I’m just saying that you definitely let us fall in the hands of Lord Voix. Look at you, living under a rock… how can I even call you my own creator, when you stopped being one?!”
“I’m heading there, right now and tell that infiltrator to get the heck out!”
“In your current condition, you can’t. Don’t be stubborn. You can’t even think properly! I’ve never hated you this much!”
“Why… Because I created you without genitals?!” the Supreme Being yells back. “I created you to be perfect and pure! When you felt the need to have romantic relationships, you’re no longer pure but you remained perfect in my eyes!”
“There is no such thing as perfect!” I yelled back at him. “You don’t know how it feels like to have the need to build a family of your own! You’re a man and yet you act like a woman! I’m not saying that your ways of thinking is wrong, but why make us like this, sexless?!”
“This is NOT the issue HERE!”

“Am I boring you?” Krozel Poxi Velvet (Jealousy) suddenly asks me, “You look stressed. Was it about yesterday?”
“Don’t mind me,” I smiled at her. “You are supposed to enjoy these things we’ve prepared. I cooked some, myself…”
“Which one did you make?” she suddenly gains interest. “I have a good sense of taste.”
“Well it’s that thing there,” I scratched my head. “I forgot its name but they said it was delicious.”
“Then, let me have a bite,” she grabs the food by fork and places it on her plate. “It does look delicious, but I wonder what it tastes like…”
“Head Captain,” the essence maid calls out my attention. “We seem to have another visitor.”
“W-who could it be?” I wasn’t expecting anybody else besides Captain Krozel.
“It’s Captain Zenphea Palx Omro (Beauty), should I let her in?”
I glanced back at Krozel who seems to be enjoying herself. She looks at me and smiles even with a lot of food in her mouth.
“Yes,” I gestured at the essence maid and stood up, “let her in.”
“It seems like you are busy over there,” Zenphea immediately finds a sit beside Krozel, “May I intrude in your date?”
“It’s not really,” Krozel waves her hand. “My children just wanted to visit his and so…”
“It looks like my children had the same idea in mind,” Zenphea chuckles. “I’m so sorry they weren’t able to greet you. Your children took them away from me as soon as I was welcomed in.”
“It’s just fine,” I nodded and offered her food. I don’t know what to say so maybe I should let her talk. “So, how’s it going on your side of things?”
“I learned a lot from the raid, you know, especially a different side of you,” she starts to talk spontaneously that pique Krozel’s interests.
As for me, the words ‘different side of you’ caught me off guard…

“What’s wrong with you, Xpir?” I dropped the formalities, “Aren’t you supposed to be the light of the… this verse? I’ve explained about the defects and the rejects, and this freaking Voix. Why won’t you do anything about these problems?”
“That’s enough,” Maozter slaps me in the face, “can’t you see he’s not doing well?”
“Why are you defending him?” I shoved her off. “Who was it that created us like this? Who was it that made us unequal to the essence beings? If only I was an essence being, even if my life will end, at least I would’ve had a fulfilled life! You should know your place!”
“You should know yours too,” she said as tears fall down her face. “We may be sexless, but he made sure that we distinguished who amongst us are men and women! You are nothing more than a monster!”
“Then what if I’m a monster? That would make us the same, MONSTERS CREATED BY A MONSTER! You, Supreme Being, have led us to our doom.” I turned around. “I wish I was created by Lady Naxo. At least, I would’ve had a happy life as one of her life gods.”
“T-take the four Eternal Weapons,” Xpir sighs. “For now, that’s the only thing I can give you…”
“Why are you giving me these?”
“Find four wielders,” he goes back to his bed. “You are the head captain. You’ll know what to do…”
“If I do it, will I get our selfish reward?”
“If you win against Voix, you will get your reward. It’s true my son, I became weaker than before. Give me strength and drive that bastard away.”
“YOU’LL SEE OLD HAG I WILL DEFINITELY DRIVE THAT SON OF A WHATEVER AWAY, JUST YOU WAIT!”

“Head Captain,” the essence maid interrupts us. “It looks like we have another visitor…”
“Just let the visitor in,” I stood up to welcome the visitor as well. “Captain Semcaxa (Judgment), it is a surprise to see you here.”
“My children were supposed to-”
“Uh yeah because of my children,” I smiled at her. “It’s okay. Please, have a seat anywhere.”
“I didn’t know you had visitors,” she sits beside Zenphea. “Am I interrupting?”
“Not really,” I offered her some food. “Would you like to eat? I helped in preparing the food.”
“OH yeah, he even cooked this,” Krozel shows them my dish. “It tastes absolutely fine!”
“I didn’t realize you could cook,” Zenphea takes a piece. “It does look good…”
“I heard about yesterday… with Lord Xpir…” Semcaxa seems curious. “The issue wasn’t just about Lord Voix, right?”
“How much do you know?” I sighed and then I noticed that the two others looked interested too.
“You saw some of us when you stormed out from his door. I’m sorry if I overheard some…” she reluctantly goes to hold my hand but decides not to. “I was kind of thinking about it too… having a family and kids of my own…”
“Head Captain…” the essence maid anxiously looks at me.
“Excuse me, Captain Semcaxa.” I stood up. “Let the visitor in as well.”
“Y-yes sir,” she signals the gate guards.
“Captain Zirack (Willpower), good day,” I greeted her. “Let me guess, the children were ambushed by my own that they weren’t able to greet me. It’s okay, have a seat. Yes also, you are not interrupting so please have a seat anywhere.”
She chuckles and winks, “You really are funny, head captain~”
Suddenly, I heard some fists cracking somewhere… or was it just my imagination? I swore I could’ve heard something. The atmosphere suddenly grew a lot tenser than before.
“Please, have some of the food,” I offered them to her as well.
“He made these,” Krozel’s aura seems to have changed… or was it just me again? She shows offers her the dish that I made.
“How dreamy~” she takes a piece. “It makes me feel so lucky to have some of your cooking~”
Zenphea seems to have been biting her lips for some reason. I want to ask her what’s wrong but I guess I really don’t have any idea at all.
“So uh, head captain,” Semcaxa cuts in. “About the altercation with Lord Xpir…”
“About that,” I sighed. “He gave me the four eternal weapons and that I need to find a suitable wielder for the three of them…”

“Kids…”
“Yes father,” Azalan approaches me. “Did you have fun?”
“Have you chosen our mother already?” Zorg runs along and accidentally trips, removing his glasses. “M-my coolness is g-gone… I’m w-weak again!”
“Looks like father is serious,” Axent lands down. “What’s going on?”
“I think we did something wrong…” Dizane sighs.
“I’m not mad at you kids for trying to find somebody for me but now’s not the time for that,” I pat them all on their heads. “You might have done something wrong about it and now, four women are forcing themselves because of it. If I end up choosing none of them then all of them will be hurt, do you understand?”
“We’re sorry…”
“I know you are… so let me make a suggestion,” I set my plans into motion. “Let me tell you everything that has happened and I want you kids to contemplate and decide on what our next move will be. The future of this world is in the hands of you, the second generation.”

I told them about Voix and the chaos he has set underneath the Essential Core. They are young but they are gods like us and so I need them to be ready so that when the time is right, they will win against the undead army of the Voix. We will survive at the very least as long as we provide support to our newfound allies, the rejects. I will train all of the children for fifteen years and find a suitable wielder for the four eternal weapons. Deep inside, I am really hoping that my kids would wield them. I know they will… they’re mine after all.
