Chapter 201: Sophia Demiurge is Bound to Fail

Urduja, the royal capital of the Queendom of Urduja, in the chambers of its very first ruler, Urduja Tawalisi.

The woman herself, the hero of the sun, is now clad in her light armor, in her waist strapped a scabbard that has her trusted kampilan, on her side, her main wife (as of the recent lifespan of her wives), Aoi, is also wearing her war attire. However, as someone who has an ability that can fully manifest by making her numerous eyes gaze upon her opponents, it was not a confined light armor, but a kimono that has small rips in the places were her supposed to be perpetually closed eyes were located, well, for decency purposes, the eyes on her core area up to the clavicle are concealed, only to be opened if she encountered an enemy that needed her full strength to defeat.

In normal times, the seams would be enough to be opened like that of a butterfly opening its wings, giving a glance to her cold, yet elegant eyes that not even Yamato Mamorite has the honor to see.

This time, The Hero of Endless Thoughts, due to her wife's recommendation, have decided to go all out, though even Urduja, the one who recommended her to make all of her powers be known in this one war is also confused, she can't help but reminiscent her conversation with her lord, Sinag.

In that conversation, Urduja, as she have expected, was tasked to become Loki's opponent and not let him get close to the future battle of Sophia and Eris, as per the arrangement of Sophia, at this is the baffling part, after all, this command that seemingly stemmed from the command of Sophia entailed that the elder gods of the world are receiving commands from Sophia and are accepting them willingly, something that either those that are forcibly assimilated by the god of the sun in his pantheon and are trying their best to escape (these are specifically the gods that made Kasikis of Apolaki and Kasikis of Mayari heroes respectively) would never do.

Urduja have even tried to inquire about the true identity of Sophia and the true undercurrents of the war again and again, yet she was met with "You don't want to know" and "You will know when it happens" for each of her respective questions, leaving her at the edge of her seat, but still, she can't do anything if her god wants to act like a charlatan, though Urduja was curious why is it that she don't want to know Sophia's identity, she can only accept this answer and learn the truth in due time.

_In any case, it seems like the gods are banking all their cash in Sophia for some reason..._

________

The divine palace of the mother goddess of creation, Paraluman, the mother and the two sons are looking at the projection in front of the dining hall of the palace, Sinag and her mother, Paraluman have solemn expressions, specially Paraluman, that seem to reminiscent the time when she was still a foolish overpowered woman who gave up all of her divinities without creating an escape route for herself.

Her regrets... her sins... and her one, final hope, Sophia, flashed in her mind, and of course, the creator of humans, Sinag, also wanted for his creations to survive, though in his actions of abandoning the royal family of Gjallarhorn, such a notion seemed to radiate hypocrisy.

Well, as they say, gods are above mortal concepts, so maybe Sinag didn't even considered his thoughts as such, but in any case, the remaining elder gods and their subordinates held their breaths as they watch the slow preparations of Sophia and her opponents, afraid of missing a chance to help her, even just for a little, though their respective masters have clearly said that not even the goddess of creation herself will lift a finger in the plan of Sophia, such is also the reason why Sinag and Paraluman is perplexed in their seats, they glanced at the adoptive father of their potential savior, Siginarugan, and as a response, he tilted his head, as if wondering why is his mother and brother were looking at him.

"Hm?" He even made that sound, which made Paraluman be more confused, and in her confusion, she couldn't help but ask.

"How can you remain calm during this time when we are hours from the potential final restart of the planet and the imminent destruction of the universe? We only have one last attempt."

Clearly, Paraluman is more curious than angry, it has been like this since early in the morning when she was berated by the god of death Siginarugan, the goddess of creation can't hold back asking questions to her sons as if she instead become the child and the two became the parents, though of course, at times of imminent universal destruction, she have suppressed these newfound and mind boggling tendencies, but alas, seeing how her son behave as if they are not facing an existential threat, this rather out of timing inquisitive spirit re-possessed the mother goddess.

Hearing such a question, Siginarugan smiled and shook his head.

"Well... it's Sophia that's we're talking about, I'm pretty sure she will succeed, and like I said earlier, in ways that even the mother goddess of creation, despite knowing what her plan is will still find shocking... well, I'm still tense, and plans to pull out all the undeads out of this universe and make Sophia invade a planet in another universe if she failed... There is no shame in escaping if you're against time... but still, that would be unlikely."

Hearing this, the two gods in front and besides Siginarugan looked at each other, the answer of Siginarugan is full of certainty, well, not as certain as he is before that he won't watch something that he already predicted the outcome, but more on of someone who have complete trust of someone's ability but still is very apprehensive of the odds Sophia has to take.

This attitude is especially strange as Sophia only had 5 fights in total, though she mopped the floor with the faces of the "final bosses" of each of the factions that are opposing her, the one she is opposing right now is someone who controls time itself.

"How come you became so confident in her? In the last time loops, all you have in your mind is disappointment, and all you can utter are sighs for all the Sophias that have managed to reach the end of the time loop and attempt the destruction of Eris and the seal of Pentateuch, and all those people are very serious one's..."

And now that the last Sophia is planning to have sex with Mother and Eris, do you have more trust in her?

Of course, as a sensible being, Sinag can't continue such a sentence in his inquiry, for he knew how Siginarugan treats the people he founds favorable, the god of the undeads also knew what Sinag was about to say, and it was indeed a good thing that the god of the sun didn't say such things aloud.

"Those Sophias... now, no shade to their aspirations on becoming a queen or becoming a womanizer, but... they are... should I say too weak and too apologetic to even start comprehending time? Well, it's not like I'm glazing her because I am the creator of the last Sophia's soul and she's my spiritual daughter, but the Sophias before looks at time as if an unsurpassable mountain... in their minds are thoughts of mutual destruction or flesh and teeth kind of victory, this Sophia is the only Sophia I saw that looked at time as if it was a false god... this is the boldness needed to destroy and conquer time and it's dictator."

Siginarugan then paused and smirked.

"And, Sinag, haven't you seen how she incorporated two of the most complicated concepts in the universe, only lower than time, in her battle system, the moment she saw it the first time? This Sophia... no, the true Sophia Demiurge dared to call space magic "simple" and used Dark magic, the most volatile magic the mother goddess of creation has ever conceived, while calling it "hard" to defeat the The Serpent Bearer, Hebi..."

Siginarugan smirked, in their is not only a god that is proud of raising a capable modern calamity, but that of a father that was able to see a child of his potentially surpassing him; such thoughts and feelings are the best for any parent.

Sinag and Paraluman was shocked at this, they have never seen nor heard Siginarugan praise someone so openly, specially if he, despite being the main player that bypasses the time loop and injects different soul again and again inside Kamatayan, known for his immense contribution still have special arrangement that even the gods inside the palace of the creator themselves is not aware of.

Siginarugan is a very intelligent man, and acknowledged to be the god who had the greatest body count during the war of the gods. Such an attitude is unprecedented, no matter how carefree he is on the surface.

Despite all of these thoughts, Siginarugan continued his Sophia glaze.

"Now, I know what are you thinking, all Sophias are destined to learn space and dark magic during the visit to Gjallarhorn, this is again, the difference between Sophia and other Sophias, the other Sophias are just destined to get and understand those magic through [Guide], but Sophia doesn't need the unique skill at all, actually, [Guide] became obsolete in the presence of this Sophia because [Guide] and her intelligence are equal from the start... from this, one can see how she deferred from the other Sophias... she is Error, she is wisdom."

Sinag and Paraluman went silent, though Sinag nodded so slightly, in his part of the time loop, he had to create Urduja again and again from a single human soul, thus, he never had the time to experiment with different personalities even though they will inevitably choose the same path one way or another.

In this aspect, Sinag was envious.

Meanwhile, Paraluman, who was invested in this kind of conversation, couldn't help but ask.

"How do you think, besides her obviously high-ranked soul, that she has become so confident and bold to the point of calling space simple and time foolish?"

Siginarugan smiled, his mother is really talkative recently, he hopes that she can talk right after getting out of the room that Sophia and her will enter in the future, if the queen of the undeads can successfully destroy the seal.

"That's because in our second to the last attempt, I have devised a way for the soul of Sophia, that's destined to be transported in a young age to undergo self reflection for three million, eight hundred seventy-seven thousand and three hundred years in a specialized space that I have created for supposed future experiments with time divinity, well, at that time, I don't have a good use to it, so I made the concealed pride and sadism burst forth from Sophia via unconscious self reflection, not only that all things she have learned by being a college graduate and doctor of physics by the age of 8 and even the porns she have been influenced to watch surfaced, because of this, her mind, muddled with the thought of her needing to suppress and restrain herself was liberated, making her have a very more calculating mind while her moral ambiguity remains the same... this wiped out her not so smart thought of using a 4th dimension ripping bomb to make her country prosperous, thus she was able to create a plan that has the most plausibility than what we have attempted numerous times, well the backlash is her lust and then her mommy issues... that's already present in other Sophias, though the former was magnified immensely that she's targeting mother and Eris."

Siginarugan was very willing to explain this stuff, of course, this knowledge is instinctively known by Sophia, that's why she never had the qualms to touch anyone older than her, because she have personally counted those days inside the "dark time chamber", and thus considers herself old, though she's just a 12 years old in the normal lens.

Paraluman was very invested in this, the solemnity of her face gone, however, as she intently waited for the continuation of Siginarugan's explanation, the latter's face suddenly squinted a little, and he then raised his brows.

"There is something Sophia wanted to tell us."

Sophia Demiurge is destined to fail, and in her failure comes the long-coveted freedom of the land; no entity shall interfere with the declaration of her inevitable shortcoming.

Well, it's not as formal as that, but it was translated as such because a subordinate god is the one who delivered it, and the three gods snapped away from their little casual talk.

[Sophia's POV]

After I made the god of streams say what the gods within the light of creation have to do (watch and learn) by praying his name three times like three hail marys before a rosary, I stood up from my seat in my office, and suddenly, the expected torrent of black-colored winds appear in front of me, it raged but did not destroyed, instead when it subsided it revealed a man in a swallowtail tuxedo, his hair black and her eyes red whilst her hands are encased with white gloves, like the devil king that he is.

Loki Darkbringer, the bastard who almost killed me through illusions, has now finally revealed himself in front of me.

"Good evening, Lady Sophia, I bear with me is a letter from my sister, the queen of Valentine."

Loki smiled faintly, like the butler persona he wanted to convey, I smiled at that too and opened the letter he gave to me, well... as I expected she used my wife to taunt me and make me go to war with them... and war I shall give them, so I used the back of the letter to create a thumbs up emoji and then shood away the devil king.

_That one is deep._
