Chapter 149: The Truth Of The Past (2)
"He was 17 when the war began. He was 18 when he volunteered to join the war from the academy. He killed demons and angels until the day he died, and he became the greatest hero in the world until he was 37, but people... our race is untrustworthy... Still, look at this, he still trusts them. Every time I observe his memories, my heart breaks," Orion added.
These words had changed everything. Even the gods and goddesses had begun to take everything, little by little, leaving Cassandra behind.
"Just watch." that came from Chaos to Nyx and Chronos now started to make sense to all.
"I understand. It’s a painful situation, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Still, we’re certain he hasn’t regained his memories, which is a good thing. We need to find something to support him without him noticing, perhaps we could ask Chaos, reach out to the Titans, and have them bestow a blessing upon Atlas," Azula said suddenly.
"I don’t understand, why do you believe he doesn’t have his memories, my love? How can you be so sure?" Orion asked with great curiosity. He believed he was missing something, his precious soul.
"Don’t you remember? Have you forgotten what Atlas said to Cassandra at the entrance to the cemetery?" Azula replied.
"Ah... Atlas called Cassandra his future wife, didn’t he? I had forgotten. I was overwhelmed with joy at seeing my only son." Orion replied.
Azula nodded her head up and down as she spoke, then said, "Yes, in his previous life, before he was sent back in time, Atlas was with Helena, and after Helena died, he never even looked at another woman. Now Cassandra is right there, on side of him, and even though he saved Helena, he hasn’t spoken to her once."
"This means that the past and future have already changed. The Angel Gate has closed, Hermes has agreed to save Michael, and the Sages are alive... Still, Atlas needs to know... The only way to open the Devil’s Gate is not through the Sages’ immense life energy," Orion said.
"You’re right... This means it’s the only way we can help him. Do you want to pray and talk to him?" Azula asked with love and hope in her voice.
"No," Orion replied seriously, then warned his wife Azula, "Don’t forget what Chaos said. Talking to us will lead him to death countless times faster; we must do something else."
