After listening to Drigurd's story, Percival now stood at the precipice of a new reality; a reality he wasn't even certain was true.
He had died in his former timeline believing that there were only five Gods. There had never been a reason to challenge that, it was as true as the sky was blue.
However, if Drigurd was to be believed, there were six. Asmodea. This Goddess of Creation and Damnation. Why was she showing her ugly head in this timeline? Where was she in the last?
Everything was mostly the same from the last timeline. The only thing that had changed was him. He had refused to be the Hero.
Percival's eyes widened. Did his refusal have anything to do with it? Had he somehow caused a chain of actions and reactions that led to this ancient goddess escaping Purgatory?
He'd read many time travel stories to know that messing with the past even in the slightest way could create a completely different outcome.
