For more than 40 minutes after coming home , Rudra just listened to the kicks and the heartbeats of his twins growing in Naomi’s stomach.
The amount of stress he was currently in with the final war against Lucifer looming over his head was incredible.
Although he had done everything right in the build-upto the final fight and secured over 70% odds of winning , it was still not a gauranteed victory and there was a still a decent chance that he could fail.
If it was just him and his guild , maybe he could walk the failure off and build himself upto try another day , but while he could tell noone about it , in his heart he knew that the fate of humanity depended on him and the outcome of this war.
Only more dangerous adventures loomed over Rudra’s head even if he won this war and finally the constant life of fighting started to show it’s toll on the big man as for once he realised that there was absolutely no end to his struggles.
” What’s up with you today bigman? ” Naomi asked as he stroked Rudra’s hair gently.
Rudra did not speak , but Naomi understood the meaning of his silence.
After a while Naomi said ” you know , sometimes I wonder what our kids would look like , how they would grow upto be , what would they call us and little stuff like that “.
A smile broke up on Rudra’s face , sometimes he wondered that too.
Naomi continued ” I wonder if they would be safe in the big bad world , actually the big bad universe i should say now , and to be honest it can be overwhelming and scary sometimes “.
Rudra’s smile vanished , what Naomi said was absolutely true. How would the universe treat his children?
” But im not too worried you know. Because i know that their father will give them the best and happiest atmosphere to grow in , no matter what the world is outside.
Because HE can hold the sky up alone for them to have a happy world to live in “.
Rudra took in deep breaths , what Naomi said was true. For his children he would indeed create the best and happiest world no matter what!
” So if you feel tired , or demotivated , or feel like why am I doing what I’m doing , like you are feeling today …. Just know that four lives of little Max, wifey Naomi and two kiddos depend on how strong the man of the house is “. Naomi said as she consoled the demons in Rudra’s heart.
There was a long period of silence before Rudra got back up and stretched his body with a smile as he said ” You got me . Eventhough i said nothing , you got me “.
” Ofcourse i got you dummy , I’m your wife afterall “. Naomi said with a grin.
Rudra had to power through, he had to defeat Lucifer and he had to safeguard planet earth. Not because he should do that as a responsible citizen of earth , because he had to do it to ensure that his family grew in a worry free place that they could call home.
Not only his family , but the family of all his guildmembers as well , as well as all those who depended on him in Japan.
Someone needed to take up the helm and be firm and guide humanity into a promising future, eventhough it was a thankless job to do. Because if even the best of the race would not step upto the task who will?
Closing his eyes Rudra made a firm resolve. Lucifer HAD TO DIE , the church of darkness had to dissolve and Hades HAD TO become the protector and patron of this planet , there was no other way around this.
Rudra no longer trusted Beniogre’s non-violent faction and eventhough he trusted it to be a noble cause , he did not trust the future of the planet to a force that could not defend itself.
Hades was by no means a perfect being to follow , however he was a much better choice than Beniogre for sure , and Rudra had a gauranteed spot of beocming the fifth commander in his actual legion if he could deliver his promise in Omega.
As Rudra left his home for one last time after swearing to come back to Naomi as fast as he could after defeating Lucifer , he found out that his wife was much stronger than he had expected.
Instead of crying or making a sad face when she saw her out , she instead commanded Rudra to either come home victorious or not come back at all , as Rudra felt oddly motivated from hearing her aggression.
As he drove back to the Elite tower , Rudra went into his zone where his mind started to think strategies better than a supercomputer could process math problems.
This visit to reality had reminded him of his reason to fight and the reason that he could not afford to loose this war.
Rudra fought for all he was and all he had become after his rebirth.
He fought because he wanted to create a better world for humans , carving a place for them in this universe.
He fought for his guildmembers and their families , as well as for Ethan Grey and the people depending on him in the upside.
He fought for justice , and his overwhelming hate for the despicable devil Lucifer.
He fought for his family ….. Naomi , Max and the kids.
He fought for the hope of a bright future.
For humans to live with dignity and without the fear of slavery.
But most importantly he fought for the right to call planet earth his home.
