RISE OF EROS

Although Biacko had ways to communicate with Crhono, they were secret ways and since Crhono didn't want to be located, Biacko couldn't do it in front of everyone, so, shortly after the demigods left to attack the Purgatory bases mentioned in Dustas' diary, he left as well.

Now in the office, only Andrew, his wives, and his guardians remained. Andrew without wasting any time said; "Fluffy, can you come back? I need to talk to you." None of those present were fools.

Everyone knew that the reason he asked Fluffy to go back inside was because he wanted to discuss something with her, without the others hearing, so, tactfully, they decided to leave the office.

Andrew, seeing everyone leaving the office, didn't say anything. It was obvious that they had understood the implications of his words. Since everyone had left the office, Fluffy didn't have the need to go back.

In her materialized state, she sat down on a sofa in front of Andrew, and looking at the seriousness with which Andrew looked at her, she adopted the same serious expression, before asking, "What does master need to talk about?"

Taking a breath, Andrew organized his thoughts and when he did, he began to speak, "What do you think of Candice's vision?" Fluffy did not respond immediately.

She was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Master, Candice's ability is not something to be taken lightly. As an oracle and even more so, being an awakened ability of her divinity, it carries a lot of weight."

"Do you mean that her vision can be accurate?" Andrew asked without diminishing the seriousness of the conversation and Fluffy bitterly nodded, confirming that what Andrew thought was true.

This caused the office to fall into a deathly silence, but it wasn't long before Andrew spoke again, "What do you think we should do?" To which Fluffy replied, "Master, I've already told you many times, I can't give you direction."

Andrew didn't say anything to Fluffy's refusal, he just looked at her calmly. Fluffy, who seemed to understand what he was thinking, said, "Master, you seem to have an idea. Why don't you tell me and I'll give you my opinion?"

When Fluffy was in her astral form, she didn't share her thoughts with Andrew like when she was inside him, so she didn't know what he was thinking, which is why she asked.

Fluffy couldn't direct Andrew, but if the idea was his, then he could give his opinion. Andrew took a breath and told his idea, "I also think that Candice's vision could become a reality". After a short pause, he added, "I think we should move off script." At these words, Fluffy didn't seem to understand and Andrew, noticing her confusion, began to explain.

"The plan is that, upon releasing the fifth divine seal, Elidyr would offer me the remnants of a deceased god, so that I could absorb its divinity, but I think that's too slow," said Andrew. Fluffy remained silent, waiting for Andrew to expand on the idea, which he did by saying, "I think I should assimilate that divinity now." Fluffy was surprised by the proposal.

"Master, aren't you rushing? To be honest, I don't think you can withstand the divinity of a deceased god at this level," said Fluffy worriedly. She could understand Andrew being impatient, but she couldn't allow him to lose his mind.

She tried to warn Andrew of what her proposal implied. All gods had the knowledge of seizing the divinity of another god, but no one did it, as it was the first step into the abyss of corruption.

Andrew understood that, but still, he didn't back down. He was convinced that it was the right move. Confused, Fluffy had no choice but to ask, "Why does the master think he should do it now?"

"Candice's vision is the current future. Even though we are taking steps, I don't think they will work," Andrew said, to which Fluffy asked, "Why?" and Andrew replied, "Because we can't guarantee that even if we do what we are doing, the future that Candice saw won't happen."

"But, you taking a risk with your proposal doesn't guarantee anything either," Fluffy replied, but then Andrew replied, "Still, my decision is more likely to change things."

"How do you know that in the future, as seen by Candice, you didn't do the same thing?" Fluffy asked, to which Andrew replied, "Because until Candice told me her vision, I was planning to follow Elidyr's plan."

Fluffy found that justification unconvincing, but Andrew continued, "I am a candidate for god. "I am the only variable that the future cannot predict, or at least the hardest to predict."

"So, if I make a move, things can change," Andrew concluded. Fluffy thought for a minute. What Andrew had said was true. Oracles are powerful and their visions usually come true, but Andrew is impossible to predict.

To be more exact, oracles predict the mortal world, but Andrew is technically a divine being, he just hasn't broken free, so visions, even Candice's, couldn't predict his movements.

The fact that the world perished in Candice's vision of the future showed that they had either failed or the world was destroyed before Andrew could do anything and remained hidden.

Either option meant that they had lost the battle. If the fallen god had been revived before Andrew reached his full potential, it would have been the same as losing the war. The more she thought, the more correct Andrew's proposal seemed, but she was still worried about it. The problem wasn't that this decision changed the future, but the way it did so.

Fluffy thought that the current Andrew couldn't resist assimilating the divinity of a deceased god and if that was the case, they would only lose Andrew ahead of time, which would only accelerate the future seen by Candice.

In this dilemma, Fluffy didn't know what to recommend. If they succeeded, the gains would be great, but if they didn't, the losses would be painful. In the end, Andrew had the final say.

Although he valued Fluffy's opinion, he was convinced that this was something he had to do, so he decided to go ahead with his plan. Fluffy couldn't stop him, since as he had said on many occasions, she is only a companion, a guardian, and now a wife.

She decided to support Andrew's decision, but she would still look for the most suitable way for the ritual to succeed. She quickly told Andrew what he should do, to improve his chances of success.

Andrew listened carefully and was surprised at what he had to do, but he didn't regret it. With everything discussed, Andrew called all his guardians, wives, and apostles to tell them what he had decided.

He told them everything that Fluffy had told him he had to do. Andrew would need the help of his wives, concubines, and apostles for this ritual, so he would not hide anything from them.

He did not even lie to them about the risks they faced. They all listened calmly to everything Andrew said. His guardians did not agree, but seeing Andrew's seriousness prevented them from persuading him otherwise. For their part, his wives, although frightened, decided to help him.
