The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

"So you two are sisters?" Karsha, who had been silent for over thirty minutes, finally spoke. The revelation had come in such a heated moment that both Karsha and Elara seemed unprepared for it. Although it was Elara who had said it, the look on her face now made it clear to Karsha that she hadn't meant to let it slip. It had all happened in the heat of the moment.

Elara turned to face Karsha, her eyes wide with a mixture of regret and realization. "Karsha, I—"

Elexa, still kneeling and visibly shaken, interjected, "Yes, we are sisters. Though our paths have diverged over the millennia, the bond remains."

Karsha took a deep breath, trying to process this new information. "Why didn't either of you tell me?"

Elara sighed, her expression softening. "There are many things about our past that are complicated, things we've kept hidden for good reasons. Our connection to the Primordial Era, our roles in the greater scheme of things... It's all tied to a prophecy that we've been trying to protect."

Elexa nodded, her voice subdued. "We didn't want to burden you with the weight of our history. You have your own path to follow, your own destiny to fulfill."

Karsha frowned, feeling a mix of frustration and empathy. "I understand the need for secrecy, but if I'm part of this prophecy, I need to know the full story. I need to know what I'm up against."

Elara exchanged a glance with Elexa before speaking again. "You're right, Karsha. You deserve to know. But this isn't the time or place for a full explanation. There are too many eyes and ears, too many risks."

Elexa added, "We'll tell you everything, but we need to ensure we're safe first. There are forces out there that would do anything to stop the prophecy from coming true."

Karsha nodded slowly, his resolve hardening. "Alright. But I want the truth, all of it. No more secrets."

Elara placed a hand on his shoulder, her expression earnest. "You have my word, Karsha. We'll reveal everything when the time is right."

Elexa, still on her knees, looked up at Karsha with a newfound respect. "I promise, I'll do everything I can to help you. We're in this together now."

Karsha took a deep breath, feeling the weight of their words. Although he knew it was not yet time to learn such things, the seeds of curiosity had already been sown. He wanted to know more, but he also understood the importance of strength. The current him was still too weak to protect himself, so why worry about matters beyond his reach?

"You can stand up, Elexa," Karsha said gently. Elexa nodded and rose, a little embarrassed. "I really am sorry, Karsha. I should have reserved myself. It's just that when it comes to my sister, she always gets under my skin."

Karsha shook his head, a pang of pain flashing across his face as he was reminded of his own sister, who had died six years ago. They used to be the same, always fighting each other. "I understand," he said quietly.@@novelbin@@

Elara, her expression softening, added, "I'm also sorry, Karsha. I should have been the big sister and reserved myself a little more. Although the things I said are part of your life, hearing them this early might hurt your destiny."

Her pained face touched Karsha's heart. He smiled slightly, trying to ease the tension. "To tell you the truth, I've already had my suspicions and even might have met that bastard you're all talking about. It's not your fault; it's just the way things are."

Elara and Elexa exchanged a glance, their expressions a mix of regret and determination. Karsha's acceptance and understanding seemed to bridge the gap between them if only a little.

"We'll make sure you're ready, Karsha," Elara said firmly. "We'll help you grow stronger, and when the time is right, we'll reveal everything you need to know."

Elexa nodded in agreement. "Yes, we'll stand by your side and support you. Together, we can face whatever challenges come our way."

"When you put it this way, I won't stand on ceremony," Karsha smiled, looking at the now two obedient fairies. "I suppose I have to form a soul contract with you," he said, turning his gaze to Elexa.

Elexa nodded in agreement, her eyes steady and determined. Karsha nodded back, acknowledging the gravity of the moment. He took a deep breath, then cut his palm, drawing blood. With a deliberate motion, he placed his hand on the time tablet. The ancient device seemed to pulse with energy, responding to his blood.

Shortly, a system message appeared before him:

< Ding! Soul Contract Successfully Formed. Elexa, the Time Tablet is now bound by the contract >

< Ding! You are still weak to wield the might of the stone tablet. All abilities of the stone tablet have been sealed. >

< Ding! Congratulations, under the blessing of the time tablet, your comprehension speed has been elevated by 10 times your normal speed >

< Ding! Congratulations, under the blessing of the time tablet, a day spent under it is 6 hours outside >

"I am sorry Karsha, but the current one you can't wield the time tablet, so I can only help you this much," Elexa said with a sad look on her face. Elara who is now slightly relaxed walked and held her hand,

"It's not your fault. Is just the way things are, but since we are now bonded with him, as he grows, we can start helping him little by little." Elexa nodded and Karsha just smiled.

"I would have been disappointed if I got an ability that defy common sense. I know you all want what's best for me, but know things, I also have my pride and always counting on others isn't my style. There will be times I will ask for your help, so instead of feeling guilty, it will be best if you all become happy now that you've finally reconnected after who knows how long"

The two ladies nodded. "By the way, once I take this stone away, would the effect also leave this island" Karsha knew the Purple Tail Anaconda used these environments to train, so he didn't want to deprive them of their item.

"No, I have been here for eons, the time energy around is enough to sustain their environment for at least dozens of millenniums." Karsha nodded and sat down again."You two can go back to my soul space and catch up, I call you when I need your help.

"Mmmh, are you not going to use me" Elexa asked.

Karsha arches an eyebrow. The meaning behind her words varies depending on how you want to interpret it. "I meant to say, won't you enter the time tablet and train there." Karsha was taken aback. "There is something like that?" he asked.

Elexa nodded, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Yes, Karsha. The time tablet can be used as a training ground. Time flows differently inside it, allowing you to train for months or even years while only a few hours pass in the outside world. Although you can use a little of such power now, 6 hours spent on the outside is a day inside the time tablet"

Karsha's eyes widened in surprise. "That's incredible. I had no idea it had such a function." It seems they don't know of the system's presence yet, so Karsha didn't want them to know for now.

Elara, still holding Elexa's hand, nodded in agreement. "It's one of the tablet's most valuable features. With your current strength, you might not be able to wield its full power, but you can benefit from its time-dilation properties."

Karsha smiled, feeling a renewed sense of excitement. "That's perfect. I have so many skills to enhance and techniques to master. This will be a huge advantage."

Elexa's expression softened. "I'm glad I could help, even if it's just a little. We're bonded now, and as you grow stronger, I'll be able to offer you more support."

Elara added, "Remember, Karsha, we're here to assist you. Don't hesitate to call us when you need help. We're stronger together. Although we can't be of much help right now, us sisters are more than you can imagine"

Karsha nodded, appreciating their support. "Thank you, both of you. I won't let this opportunity go to waste. I'll make sure to use the time tablet wisely."

"By the way, you won't happen to have any other sister I should be aware of" Karsha joked, but immediately stopped himself from laughing. That was because immediately he asked that, the expression of the two ladies changed.

And because they now share a soul together, he could feel their pain and anger. However, this anger is directed at something or someone else. He sighed and then said, "I will one day get stronger ladies, when that time comes, whatever, or whoever you want revenge on, just say the word and I will Annihilate them," Karsha said with his chest up. The two ladies' eyes softened and they nodded.

"Alright, you can go now, I will need you to keep me company for the next 15 years as I train," Karsha said.

The Ladies wanted to ask something, but Karsha just smiled at them and then they vanished into his soul sea. Since he could drag things connected to his soul into the Subspace, he wasn't planning on spending the next 15 years there alone. Now that he has gotten an upgrade from the time tablet, he will be spending a little over 15 years inside that space instead of the previous 7 years.

Opening his eyes, Karsha looked at the time tablet with determination. "Time to get to work," he muttered to himself. He formed a seal that seems to have been transmitted to him by Elexa. The moment the seal formed, he vanished and appeared inside the time world.

Inside the time tablet, Karsha found himself in a serene, ethereal environment. The air was thick with energy, but because he could feel time energies now, he only sat down and retrieved dozens of cores.
