Matrona and I separated, and I began explaining who I truly am, my origins, and why I disappeared for the last 16 years. She took her time absorbing everything, her expression shifting between awe and disbelief.
Matrona: "So… you're a god?"
Sora: "No. There is only one God, and I am not Him. I am an Origin—the First of Creation and the Creator of this world we stand in now. You may call me The Creator , but never God ."
Matrona: "So I'm married to a man who creates worlds and races… That's a lot to take in."
Sora: "You have all the time in the world to process it. But for now, let's check your current power level. As my wife, I don't want you feeling weaker than others in this world."
Matrona: "What do you mean?"
I scanned her power level and found it at an impressive 100,000—far surpassing Drole, the Giant King, whose power had been 54,000 even as a Commandment. Clearly, she'd trained hard under Igris and Merlin during the past 16 years.
Sora: "You've done well, my wife. But let your husband help you unlock the rest of your potential."
Placing my hand on her head, I unlocked her latent talents and enhanced her bloodline, boosting her power level to 350,000. I also corrected her race's inherent flaw—a greed for battle that often led to harming others. With time and adjustment, her power would climb further, eventually reaching 900,000. For now, this was enough; I didn't want to overwhelm her with too much power at once, as she lacked the instant mastery granted by my bloodline.
[Matrona's POV]
Turns out, I'm married to someone extraordinary—not just a giant, but an Origin who created this world and all its races. And the most shocking part? He chose me as his wife. Right now, he's placed his hand on my head, and I feel more alive and powerful than ever before. My body hums with energy, and I can sense that with training, I'll grow even stronger. He removes his hand and looks at me with those bright golden eyes, making my heart race so fast I think it might explode.
[Sora's POV]
Looking at the mighty Fang of the Land with flushed cheeks is the most beautiful sight I've ever seen. It makes me want to take her right here, right now—but I want us to spend more time getting to know each other first. The timing and setting aren't ideal, so I hold back.
Sora: "So, my love, how do you feel?"
She flinches slightly when I call her "love," then composes herself.
Matrona: "I feel… more powerful. Thank you, h-honey."
Hearing her call me "honey" sends a thrill through me, and I pull her in for a kiss. This woman is going to make my heart explode with how lovely she looks.
[After Some Kissing and Cuddling]
Sora: "Now, my love, there are a few things we need to do to fix this broken world of mine. We'll start by restoring balance, peace, and harmony. Our first trip will be to two special individuals who've suffered greatly in this world—it's time they find some peace."
Matrona: "Where do we go, honey?"
Sora: "Kaynes Village. But first, I need to shrink us to human size so we don't scare people or draw attention."
With a wave of my hand, we shrank to human proportions, and I opened a portal to where Meliodas and Elizabeth were. Taking Matrona's hand, we stepped through. On the other side, we stood atop a destroyed mountain, with Meliodas and Elizabeth just two feet away. Meliodas appeared to have recently finished a fight.
Sora (thinking): 'Ah, this must be right after Meliodas saved Elizabeth from Twigo. The story has just begun—but now that I'm here, everything is about to change.'
Meliodas immediately went on guard, while Elizabeth hid behind him.
Meliodas: "Easy there, champ. I mean no harm. You two have suffered enough over the past 3,000 years. My name is Sora Origin, and this is my wife, Matrona. You must be Meliodas and Elizabeth."
Meliodas was shocked but quickly assumed an attack position, trying to buy time for himself and Elizabeth to escape.
Meliodas: "Did the Demon King send you? Or the Supreme Goddess?"
I sighed.
Sora: "Neither. Stand down, Meliodas. I'm truly sorry for what you and Elizabeth endured. As the Creator of this world and its people, my Will failed to maintain the peace and balance this world was meant to represent. Instead, incompetent fools like the Demon King and the Supreme Goddess fought for supremacy, plunging this realm into chaos."
Meliodas looked confused, and Elizabeth seemed even more puzzled.
Sora: "Let's not delay this any longer. Allow me to remove your curses."
I pulled them toward me, immobilizing them despite their struggles. Placing my hand on Elizabeth first, I heard Meliodas shout for me to release her. Matrona intervened, slapping him hard enough to knock him unconscious—the difference in power was immense. I was glad he remained alive. Elizabeth, seeing this, begged me not to hurt him.
Sora: "Quiet."
With a wave of my hand, I silenced her protests and removed the curse binding her memories and powers. Overwhelmed, she fainted as her memories returned. I conjured a bed and laid her down gently before moving to Meliodas to lift his curse as well.
Sora: "Now, while we wait for them to wake up, let's have a conversation with the Demon King."
Turning my gaze to Hawk's eyes, I spoke directly to the Demon King.
Sora: "Well, hello there, Demon King."
Standing up, I opened two colossal gates—one leading to the heavens and the other to Purgatory. My voice thundered across dimensions.
Sora: "DEMON KING! SUPREME GODDESS! GET OUT HERE AT ONCE, YOU INCOMPETENT FOOLS! JUDGMENT DAY HAS COME!"
