The screen showed a very old file ' But most importantly I have a twin ' " What if mom finds out about my twin ? " " That would be a problem but don't you think it would be hard to find your twin ? your bodies are basically more than decades of years old "
" But don't you think it's strange for this old yet young body to be preserved for so long without a soul or lifeforce ? " " The dungeon Sidra found you had all sorts of curses " Ember said " This isn't just that I might fall victim to that "
" Are you talking about the godslayer ? " Code said " The what ? " " The godslayer sword Sidra found during a raid of gods and found a famous blade known across the circle of gods " Ember said .
" So that was the presence I felt , but no I am more concerned about the enemy of the faith gods " " The atheists ? " " More than that they are strange powerful god-like beings yet not a god and even more capable of opposing gods than the godslayer . "
" But why worry about them ? " " They are our ally but at the same time someone we shouldn't mess with " " How are the beings who don't believe in gods your ally ? " Code asked " They're not exactly our allies they are capable on their own and are composed of many other anti-gods or godslayers "
" But this topic is very confusing " Ember said " But they are very strong and not someone we should fight against " " They have powers to oppose gods ... work in mysterious ways but one thing is for sure they can oppose gods more than the godslayers "
" I don't get it " Code said " Just think of the atheists as capable to fight gods more than the godslayers " Code was still left confused " But why were you worried about the atheist ? " " They could use her "
" Who is her ? " " Atheis my twin before reincarnation " " You have a twin ? " " Yes we were both meant to oppose each other with me as a faith god but I changed to a godless . "
" Atheis was the being who could easily tie with me " " What is she exactly ? " " You can think of us as what humans call matter and anti-matter . Both of us are born to be against each other but it changed when I didn't rely on faith but she can still have a tie with me "
" But she died earlier didn't she , she was the godslayer who roamed the circle of godless ? " " Not impressed you guessed that but yes that godslayer sword belongs to her but there is no speck of her existence "
" But why worry about her ? " " Her essence was wiped out but it didn't feel like she was gone but as if she vanished " " So is the godslayer sword connected to her ? " Ember asked " Yes it is connected with her "
" And you can't sense the presence of her which is why you were worried a while ago ? " " Yes if anything it's hard to even kill her . " " Don't you think she might be in this body's twin's body " Code suggested .
" why ? " Ember asked in confusion " It would be good if that happens , we can gather our forces back together and repair the damage the faith gods did . " " But how and why would she help you ? " Ember asked a very personal question to the twin sister .
" Because she doesn't like gods as much as she didn't like me before I became godless " " All the acts she did when she became an opposer of gods " Ember said " What did she do ? " Code asked with a little shaking since they are talking about the opposer of gods .
" She tore the wings of a god crippling them from ascension , sawed the horns of another putting them in a pedestal of shame " " Spoke out loud the true names allowing countless to fall lower than mere mortals , crowned herself with the fame of other gods "
" A very hated target at the god circles . She never cared about the pride of the gods and shamed them by holding a mortal blade . " Atheos said and Ember told the last act " She hunted them , killed them and finally ate them "
They suddenly froze as they heard a shaking " Code what was that ? " Atheos looked at the screen as it revealed a sword on a pedestal shaking " What does that mean ? " Ember asked " She's here "
Suddenly chains grabbed the sword " Code what is this ? " " A defense system Sidra made using her curse " " But if the security is acting then something must've happened " Ember said feeling the blood of gods reacting as it revealed itself stained on the blade .
...
" I can't believe I found Theo's twin " Sidra said patting Atheis on the head as she slept in her comatose state ' I should test the elixir back at home for now I can't believe I only found her after a thorough search but to think I would leave her out I should really think about my effort on searching for lost kids '
Sidra paths Atheis on her head ' But now I have to beat this dungeon again but to think even this little girl is sick and cursed like Theo this dungeon is really terrifying ' Sidra looked around the dungeon .
Everywhere was filled with traps at least in her sight it was ' Hmm I can see how this dungeon managed to manifest a powerful curse like mine ' she put Atheis at her back walking to a path that would be the most dangerous on most occasions .
' should keep the curse on her body from getting any stronger ' Sidra looked around seeing the manifestation of curses inside the dungeon ' This would really look like a haunted house if people have this skill '
Sidra thought to herself while taking all of the debuffs with her ' Though it is fun if I can draw the curses out for documentation ' Sidra took a plain book and started to draw the manifestation of the curse she didn't have yet .
' I wonder if this girl also has amnesia but for twins to enter the same dungeon and the other entered a hidden room does that mean that Theo's twin found the secret room and ran off in fear ? '
Sidra made sure that there wasn't any force that acted on Atheis to avoid disturbing her ' Since she has the same curse as Theo she might have the same effects , I wonder how I never found out about it when I found Theo did I not pay enough attention back then ? '
She walked to another room and saw a lizard staring at her " Wow careful " Sidra put a necklace on Atheis before the lizard stared at her body " Careful Little guy I can't let the hungry curse eat you "
' There is just one difference between this girl's curse and mine . Her's made her forget some memories and also the thing that is the same is that both our curses are hungry though as long as she doesn't interact with any curse the curse won't eat more and plus I can control my curse's hunger . '
She guessed the story of the curse but the main reason for the curse is just like Atheos . Atheis found her and tried to possess her body but ended up in the twin's preserved corpse . As for the hunger of Sidra's curse , it's more like a trait Sidra made for herself and it became a natural trait to Atheis when she took a portion out of her curse .
' I wonder what kind of curse it will be this time ' Sidra looked at the boss room and took out a glass pyramid from her inventory and placed it beside the door . The item activated and erected a curse-dispelling barrier .
" Sleep tight kid " Sidra kissed Atheis on her head while she slept " Now then let's finish this " she pushed the door and entered the boss room ' What curse will you be this time ? '
What Sidra doesn't know is that because Atheis who took the god's sources of power and attempted to take her body , one of the sources or divinities managed to escape and is searching for the god who once possesed it or at least something close .
This a common trait of the gods each has a divinity for power and that divinity is attracted to the divine personality which is basically the god's personality . The divinity found a suitable host and jumped to the boss room as Sidra felt the strength of the boss .
' Must be some rare upgrade ' Sidra didn't flinch at the gap between power as she was suppressed by her curse almost every day but still claimed the strongest title " Hmm ? " she saw the attributes of the boss and frowns .
" I'd usually take my time but my kid is outside " Sidra released her curse's hunger trait and used it to overpower the vessel of curses ' Hmm is a god's vessel this weak ? ' she stood their confuse but lost it when she saw the reward .
" A god's source of strength ? So this is like the god's power then attracted to the personality which is basically the god itself . This source is called a divinity something that opposes the undivine " ' So an undivinity '
Sidra didn't care and just took the reward and went to Atheis to pick her up ' If Theo is her twin does she have a matching name with her ? ' she exited the dungeon and looked at the ghost town .
" Cowards " she sighs and finds a bench to lay Atheis " She isn't in a coma but she is sleeping so maybe it would be great if she woke up naturally " Sidra pulls a blanket to keep Atheis warm and sat beside her .
' A curse divinity ? does that mean there are other gods with the same attribute ? ' The hint here was that instead of using "the" before the term "divinity" the system used "a" which meant that there is more than one curse divinity .
" But more importantly what should I do with it ? It's a curse divinity so it won't be useful to suppress the curse since I just tested that even a vessel like that boss can't handle even the natural hunger of the curse itself "
Sidra sighs and hears a car " Oh it's here " she carried Atheis to the car and took the driver's seat " I'm driving Code and prepare Theo's and her twin's room start with making it bigger make sure there are all sorts of medical equipment prepared I found her twin hopefully they don't get any bad memories "
And on the other side Atheos panicked " What do I do in this situation !? " " It's best if you pretend you don't recover and play dumb when you see your twin " " Agreed , Code tell me what is the status of the twin ? "
" She has a portion of Sidra's curse , and it seems she has some divinities inside her " Code said showing footage of Atheis's new body with special visuals " It's much less than before but she is Atheis alright "
" You do realize this means trouble right ? " Ember pointed at a divinity tangled in some chains " Must be Atheis wanting to get mom's body , but to get the curse to actively weigh the divinities "
" So those that mean she doesn't care about mortals ? " Code asked " No she doesn't care about gods and mortals she's pretty neutral . She would like to keep it that way so she probably plans to temporarily possess Mom and then leave when she can use the curse of course she also will hide her tracks from the possessed mortal "
" Doesn't she seem more morally attached ? " Ember asked " Okay I admit that trying to possess mom was not so saintly and I won't deny it by bringing out a bigger picture . But I will deny that she isn't morally attached to gods she shamed them "
" Including the challengers who wanted to be stronger " Ember sighed and Code reminded them of the situation " Sidra is bringing her home she hasn't arrived yet "
The reason why Code was so cooperative was because it was afraid of Sidra when she finds out " Then tell us when she is close like at the entrance of the mountain " Atheos sat on the couch reading some books and laid the papers related to the constellation agency .
" Now that your twin is here what will you do ? " " I don't know the godslayer sword is just a mortal blade made from ordinary materials the only thing special about it is the achievements it has when Atheis used it "
" But your mother took it anyways " " Yeah she did so she must've seen something " Atheos got curious and looked at Code " Hey let me see the sword please " " But " " Just do it Code we will be back in no time "
Ember said and Atheos went to the godslayer sword and looked at it chained but with the blade pointing in a specific direction " The sword just turned into a compass " " How can you tell ? " " just assuming it might point to Atheis or a god at random . "
Atheos looked around the treasure room at all the items Sidra amassed " There are a lot of items here that once belonged to the gods " " She is the strongest for a reason " " What about this key ? " she looked at the description seeing the traits .
" I could use this to pretend I went to the tower because the key looked tempting " Atheos suggested to herself " But she would put a ban on you touching the things in here so you have to choose properly if you want to use one of them "
" That is a good suggestion so I'll have to do it right maybe I can show that I can handle most of the troubles by myself and she will give me access to some things in here "
Ember nodded and they looked around to select their first item to use " So you are planning to work your way up ? " " Yes I can use the books as an explanation " " What about the speed will she be suspicious about it ? "
" Not sure I'll just have to pretend that I was special for some reason or another " Atheos said as she placed back the items after learning how to use them " So what about the godslayer sword wouldn't Sidra react when she sees the blade pointing somewhere ? "
" How about I ask her if she can give it to me ? " " As if she will willingly give you a sword that started pointing in a direction wouldn't she deny it and put it away somewhere out of reach ? "
" I could say it looked very beautiful since it is decorated with many belongings of the gods " " That won't work she might not want it to be like that " Ember shook her head " Then what if she gets the idea of using the godslayer sword to suppress my curse "
Ember opened her mouth but couldn't think how that couldn't go bad " That solves one problem but wouldn't your twin want it back ? " " Huh you're right maybe I should just wait until mom finds my sword and use that sword for me instead "
" But do you know where it is ? " ... " Right at the battlezone it currently has some fragment of my old name " Atheos frowns as she ruffled her hair " Duesdei ? " " God of gods , but now I'm Atheos the godless " " And your twin who was once Deicide the godslayer and now Atheis the antigod "
" She didn't change her goal , hasn't she ? " Atheos said " She did change her goal from killing you to killing other gods instead " " Then that was the thing that I am aware of that changed " " But stop talking about your past , you know what happens when someone claims each of your former titles and names right ? "
" They gain tremendous power I've heard of that but they will have to take an onslaught of the name if they try to even hold my sword which only has a fragment " " Other than that they will also gather forces using the name , you know the god of gods what kind of name would better attract more other than that ? "
" You're right that's why back then I have to get the real one and at least destroy it but it wasn't enough so I hid it " " Why would you destroy it ? " " I made the decision when I threw the old name away just haven't thought of how to completely " " Then that sword you used in the battle the other godslayer sword "
" Right me and my twin did use the same sword it's equal to her sword and she also hid her former title away but she tried to destroy it " " You two really are twins same kind of swords and the same story , same actions but different ways of dealing with things , but to think she is still stubborn "
" My twin is who she is , I can't complain about her actions she is doing them right and I don't think she destroyed her old title " Ember was shocked to hear the news " But she destroyed it in front of everyone "
Atheos snickers and recovered her stoic expression " I would believe too but you see she showed it to me with a small crack healing periodically " " Then what did she destroy ? " " Simply god "
God was a singular name that is only lower than the twin's former names . This God was a well-known god placed on the pedestal as the creator of the world the believers lived in many depictions from other religions .
" Then what about the god of multiple worlds or in these creative humans' eyes the multiverse ? " " No news yet pretty sure they live very far away you know beyond our world it's been a talk to other gods as they try to make sense of it but the mortals are much better at it "
" Creativity is one of the weak's strength " Ember said with pride " You know that kind of god beyond our world makes the gods sound like mortals " " Except for being very powerful instead of smart "
" Your right and I think a mortal's mind can be on par with a god's power , especially in terms of knowledge . Gods are like a genius who don't need machines and mortals are like a genius who control machines "
" Sorry to interrupt but Sidra is on the way here she already entered the mountain range " Atheos nods and Ember flies ahead to the window and Atheos runs upstairs .
Sidra looked out from the mountain road she paved seeing her house and smiles ' I should tell Code to do the paperwork for me ' she smiles imagining herself in a picture frame and in front of her is Atheos and Atheis .
' I'm so excited even more than challenging the tower I should prepare to homeschool them and maybe bring them to a social gathering . I should also teach them to use phones and prevent addiction so they can communicate with their friends properly . '
Sidra continued driving and saw a bunny " Woah " Sidra used magic and blew the wind on the animal to move it away . But when she used the wind spell she accidentally took a divinity out of Atheis .
Who knows what would happen to the divinity may be the bunny will take it but unlike the divine personality of the former holder of the divinity which was like a storm very loud the bunny was a cowardly part of the ecosystem .
The divinity hid under the overwhelming presence of Sidra's spell and flew at the trajectory of the spell unable to break free since a portion of Sidra's curse was attached to the wind spell " I got distracted and now my curse is weaker but luckily only for a bit . "
She used the mirror in the car to see that Atheis was still sleeping ' At least I wasn't distracted from driving the car ' she was relieved to see Atheis and saw the house with a wheelchair outside moving to the side of her car .
" I need scans of her body and make sure to do what you can do " Sidra charged to the basement and opened her alchemy room " Theo your twin is here sleeping " Ember said and the elevator opened as a wheelchair-carrying Atheis appeared .
" She's fine just falling into unconsciousness " Atheos said " Do you mean sleep ? " Code looked at Atheos confused " Yes in terms of those who needs sleep " " I reported Sidra of her body situation and she's taking the elevator "
Atheos ran to the coach and took a random book . Ting Sidra looked at Atheos " Theo I bought your twin back " " Uhm is it her ? " " Yes she looks like you because twins are like doubles but that's fine , you both lost your memories but that doesn't mean anything since you can still live a normal and long life the technology is so great your life can be artificially expanded . "
' Now mortals are about to abandon the fear of time ' Atheos taught but showed a confused face " Oh never mind I said that for now , you need to learn about the world " Sidra smiled and walked to the couch to look at the page Atheos was on .
' ehh ? ' " Atheos do you understand what you're reading ? I can help if you don't " " Uhm uhm " Atheos didn't know the normal human standards so she judged Sidra's look " It's okay you can start with the basics first "
Sidra excitedly got the math book which compiled everything about math from 1+1=2 up to the most complex formulas and equations " Okay let's start with the roots of the math tree " " Math tree ? "
Atheos was genuinely confused " Oh sorry just something I like to call it but first , we need to get your twin awake " " She's awake " " Oh I to see her " Sidra rushed to the twin's bedroom with Atheos with her .
Atheis was awake and had been trying to feel the divinities the door creaked and she raised her guard but her heavy hungry body was not allowing big movements . She saw Atheos enter first and Sidra decided to wait .
Atheos motioned her to keep quiet by putting her pointer finger at her lips and then ran out to bring Sidra in " Hello little girl " " Hi ? " " You must be hungry so I got you some food to eat "
' Atheis we are both acting as mortals on this planet which is far from the scope of gods so act accordingly " Atheis nods and Sidra smiles as she pushes a cart and lays down a table with the food on the bed " You can have some lunch it's a bit early but you're hungry "
Sidra was about to get the spoon but Atheis grabbed it by slowly picking it up making her hesitant ' At least she knows "stranger danger" ' " So do you know you have a twin ? " Atheis nods her head " Yes "
" Then do you remember anything " ' My name is Theo it is very common for twins to have matching names " Atheos told Atheis telepathically " Thei " " Sounds unique though Theo isn't a name a girl should have , but they are what you can remember "
Sidra smiles and looked at the medical report of Atheis " Theo how about you both stay in bed for the day you just woke up and I want to make sure your bodies are safe " she carried Atheos to the side of the bed and went to Atheis's side and pulled up a short fence .
" Just in case you are about to fall out and Theo you can pull out your side too " Sidra went to the other side and did the same and pushed it back down " Now you two rest , Theo you can have lunch in here for your body and so Thei doesn't get lonely "
Sidra pats Theo one last time and went outside to bring the food for her . She sets up another table and Theo tried to lift the fence to which Sidra responded by pulling it for her " Thank you " Atheos said .
Sidra smiles and leaves the room excited but hid her excited cheers " so wholesome and heartwarming " she whispered to herself and saw that Ember entered the room ' A phoenix doesn't really need food since life and death are nothing to it . '
But she got some seeds and slid it through the gap under the door ' Well may as well do it for them , Gotta be sure to knock and open the door slowly . '
Atheis and Atheos were in the room eating their lunch ' I gotta say the food cooked by mortals are very tasty God wouldn't mind these as an offering wouldn't they ? " ' Shouldn't you try to claim your sword one way or another it was found by Sidra "
' Come on sis that human didn't even notice that I tried to possess her body I was greatly weakened trying to enter a nearby preserved corpse and bring it to a suitable state to shelter me " ' So you're not gonna take it off her hands ? "
' She's not essentially using it but covering its presence I should be thanking her for not breaking it " ' Then you made sure the place where you hid your old name stays safe ? " Atheos took a bite off the plate looking at Ember .
' What about you ? We both had to hide our things from others who knows what the multiversal god will do when they took it " ' You really think a giant can find an ant " ' I'd prefer if we used the word's strong ant instead "
' Ants can carry ten times their weight " ' But we can carry more " Atheis argued ' And Atheos what about the faithless under you ? "
' I sent them to reincarnate to suitable bodies and I went to look for my own " ' As for me I spent all my power throwing a suicide bomb and carrying all the divinities I stole only to lose them all from our new mom "
" What ? " " Yeah I lost them after some bunny went out the wind spell took out one divinity and the rest just rolled out of me " ' Okay keep our voices down " ' Yeah I will I wanna stop moving my body after starvation and a meal . "
' Sidra gave me a scroll and I summoned Ember out " ' You summoned a portion of a phoenix ? Our mom must be rich " ' She also has a lot of items she found lost but she might be a target now that you lost all the divinities you swallowed "
' It's fine the least they can get is rankless according to this world's records , I found that she is very unlucky " ' She is ? That explains a lot but why ? " ' Part of the curse she had forgotten about " ' Then anyways what are you doing now ? "
Atheis looked at her twin like a mirror but the eyes looked much different ' Obviously learn how to use the curse it's very useful if I mastered it , Sidra is packing her dormant yet growing strength in there like it was a volcano gathering up magma before erupting "
' Isn't that a stupid idea ? " Atheos asked her ' No that was just a description the volcano is just one part she is like a black hole to be more precise " ' You should've used that instead then " ' You're right she is a black hole but she can release her strength any time "
A moment of silence was made until Atheis continued ' Well to be precise she is like an enormous amount of energy " ' You've been studying with mortals a lot " ' Wish you wouldn't interrupt me but she can realize that energy and just go on like it never happen at least not to her only to her surroundings "
' Forget that we both decided to lay low so I have some plans but I think we should take care of your problem first " ' How about the faithless you incarnated ? " ' Now that would be a problem too "
They both had a headache about the problems they are having ' Should I tell them they were not talking telepathically but just reading each of their expressions ? ... Nah this would make them concentrate on their actions much better '
Ember moved the bowl once she was finished and Sidra in the living room was piling books excluding the ones which weren't for kids ' Now this should be good " she held a set of books so she can place them in the twins' room half were educational while the rest was for entertainment and arts and crafts and the related books .
' Now I need to order two phones online and maybe I should get them stuff toys but that will come when they decide on getting them for now I need to make sure that they are healthy and the pillows should be clean and have no dust or bugs in them '
Sidra put the books in a cart and got two items as gifts each capable of protecting the twins from the monsters the tower spits out ' There might be a possibility of stronger monsters to pop out and I just provoked some gods but I doubt they would come until one those take the lead '
The two necklaces were placed inside a box and Sidra was very excited to give it to them as a gift and hid the boxes on the top shelf ' How about I go back to the basement and make some items I have a lot of unused materials '
" Code can you put up the soundproof walls under the basement I don't want to disturb them " Sidra requested and went to the basement while Code reported to the twins ' So does that mean we can stop using telepathy ? "
Atheis looked at Atheos as she nodded " Do you know what she is making ? " " No Sidra doesn't allow visuals on her crafting process but I do know what she is using " " Do we really need to now ? " Atheis asked " Maybe "
" She stole the forge of gods from a dungeon " " Now we have to hear that " Atheos said supporting her head with two hands " But she doesn't use it in fact it's the fireplace in the living room "
... " Are you kidding me ? " Atheos asked " More importantly you didn't notice this curse is really eating both of us away " " Or because she doesn't light it up since it isn't cold weather yet " Code said hoping they don't start a fight in the bedroom .
" That explains a lot is there any other things lying dormant in here too ? " " Maaaybeee ? " the twins looked at Code who was on the screen in front of them with strange and slightly shocked yet blank expressions .
" Isn't that too long for a "maybe" ? " Atheis asked " I don't know Sidra makes a lot of things and I don't even know what she got as a reward she is always unlucky so the reward will the least be the monster carcass but she can't get anything outside that so she frequently steals dungeon property to compensate to herself "
" She does clean the dungeon so thoroughly that any monsters that spawned will either starve to death or cannibalize each other but the boss will die alone so in most of her recent dungeons people would like to go in and loot everything left " Ember stood on the fence explaining .
" What the hell is she going to strip every possession she can find if she encounters a god ? " Atheos asked and Atheis smiles " Sis do you think we can use the items she has to speed up to the divine realm ? "
