“You have to be kidding me,” Renewal said, staring at the shimmering image of Ferdinand and Garina in the air before her in disbelief and more than a little amusement. “That did not happen. I refuse to believe it.”

She didn’t expect an answer. The universe rarely gave her them, but for once, something was different. A ripple of energy pressed into the back of her mind, and she spun away from the screen, drawing on her runes.

Cracks of black light splintered through the sky above her, and a bolt of severing energy carved through the air. It crashed down before her, sending souls scattering and screaming in terror. She hardly noticed them.

“Decras,” Renewal said, closing the image with a snap of her fingers and narrowing her eyes. “What are you doing here? Do you really dare challenge me twice in a row?”

A throaty laugh echoed from Decras’s throat and he held his hands up. “As amusing as that would be, I prefer not to play the same game twice in a row, especially after we both ended up on the losing team to a party that wasn’t even meant to be playing.”

“Why are you here, then?”

“Boredom. Why else?” Decras snorted, then walked up to stand beside Renewal. He raised a hand and strands of black energy coiled up from the ground, forming a chair. Decras glanced over to the screaming souls and flicked his hand.

Time slammed to a halt around Renewal. Or, more accurately, the time that the souls perceived slammed to a halt. Decras wasn’t anywhere near powerful enough to actually stop time, but pulling a few measly souls to a spot where they couldn’t feel its passing was well within his might.

“I am,” Decras said, not a single shred of sarcasm in his voice. “And I’m here for the exact same reason. You’re watching something interesting, and I’ve always found it more fun to do such things with others.”

Renewal studied Decras for some time. She hadn’t truly run into many gods in her solitary role in the universe. He was one of the few that she did know, even if his attention tended to be fairly destructive.

Their last sparring match had been the reason that Renewal was currently missing a tiny chunk of her power, but she took no small amount of satisfaction in knowing that Decras was no better off.

“How are you going to apologize for causing my loss of power?” Renewal demanded. “Do you have any idea⁠—”

Decras held a hand out, and a small golden core materialized within it. Energy crackled within it with enough intensity to catch even her attention. Renewal’s words died before they could leave her mouth.

“Will this suffice? I’ll have you know that we will be splitting it. I do not give donations.”

“You definitely know how to apologize,” Renewal muttered. She flicked her hand and flowers twisted into a pink throne beneath her. She
