The explosion of the volcano was imminent. As soon as they saw it, they started running uphill, thinking the lava couldn't reach them. But they were wrong. When the lava reached the downhill, it started melting the mountain.
They knew this was a magical world where anything was possible, so they weren't surprised at all. As the lava began melting the mountain, Theodore said to Mateo, "Run, Mateo, run! Don't think about me, just run. You need to carry our mother's will. She wanted us to become rich so we could buy whatever we wanted."
Mateo, in a terrified tone, said, "But brother, you have to promise me that you will make it out of the lava alive. If you don't promise me that, I won't run."
Theodore replied, "Yes, it's a promise. I will make it out of the lava alive, so please don't worry about me, just run."
Mateo started running downhill, but when he looked back, he saw his brother already drowning in the lava. Mateo didn't stop; he kept running because he didn't want to crush his mother's will. He pushed his full strength into his legs and realized he could fly. This happened because he had drunk an enormous amount of liquified mana. He was so surprised by this.
But Mateo stopped and started going back to save his brother. Unfortunately, Theodore was completely drowned, and Mateo couldn't find him. Then he sensed that Theodore was alive, but he couldn't see him. This was happening because he had drunk liquified mana. Mateo started to understand that he could sense anyone without seeing them. He began moving towards the area where he sensed Theodore.
Then he saw Theodore flying, with eyes burning like lava. Half of Theodore's body was burning like hell, as if he had gained the power of fire from being swallowed by the lava. Mateo was amazed. When he reached Theodore, he said in an aggressive tone, "Why the hell did you follow me? I said don't worry about me, just run!"
Mateo replied, "Brother, you've changed. What happened to you? You used to talk politely and happily. Why not now?"
Theodore said, "Huh, you fool. Do you think a person like me can talk politely and happily?"
Mateo insisted, "Yes, brother, you used to talk politely and happily."
Theodore, in an aggressive tone, said, "I have changed. You also know that our mother was killed by soldiers, but that's not the reality. Our mother was killed by gods."
Mateo said in a terrified tone, "Gods?"
Theodore confirmed, "Yes, the gods ordered her to be killed."
Mateo asked softly, "Why?"
Theodore replied, "If I knew the story behind it, I could have gotten revenge by now. You also have to understand what our mother said in her last words: 'Don't believe in god.' This sentence has a meaning we couldn't understand until now, but in the future, we will shred every god in this galaxy or universe into small pieces. Then they will understand how much pain we suffered."
Theodore continued in an evil voice, "The gods will be suffocating, wiggling, and begging for the gift of death, and I will make sure to give them that gift."
Mateo was amazed by Theodore's words. After this, Theodore said, "Mateo, do you want to see the power I got from being drowned in lava?"
Mateo, in an extremely excited tone, said, "Yes, brother, why not?"
Theodore said, "Before that, you have to show your powers."
Mateo replied, "My powers aren't great like yours. I can only fly with this power."
Theodore said, "You have to know yourself," and then vanished. Mateo was surprised and then saw his brother's body made of lava. Theodore could transfer his body to the flowing lava and reassemble it in the shape of his body, as if he had been possessed by the lava. Now he had the power to get his revenge on the gods.
Theodore said in a loud tone, "Gods, wait for me. I will be the cause of your extinction and become a new god."
Mateo said, "That's enough, brother. We need to explore more things deeply on this abandoned planet."
Theodore agreed, "Yes, so fly up. We are going straight to that forest with extremely big trees."
The Robertson brothers started to go towards the forest.The Robertson brother's wanted to find a cave The cave served as their laboratory. While flying, Mateo said to Theodore, "Did you collect a portion of that lava?"
Theodore replied, "Yes, but did you collect some liquified mana?"
Mateo exclaimed, "Oh! I forgot."
Theodore, in a soft tone, said, "You foolish bastard."
Mateo suggested, "We can drink it there to improve my powers and your strength."
Theodore said, "Yes, but we don't have much time, and we need to train more so we can crush the gods."
Mateo insisted, "It won't take much time."
Theodore conceded, "Got it, make it quick."
After that, the Robertson brothers started flying again at a uniform speed towards the forest, unaware of the worst things that could happen to them. When they reached the edge of the forest, Theodore said, "We will now walk on foot."
But Mateo disagreed, "I don't agree with you, brother. Walking on foot won't be safe, so we should fly."
Theodore, in an aggressive tone, said, "Did you forget we have the power to make the gods suffer in pain? Why should we fear now? If anything comes our way, we will crush it together. Don't forget, we are the Robertson brothers, who can become the cause of the gods' extinction. We have to believe in ourselves, and we can do anything if we are together."
Mateo agreed with him and said energetically, "We will crush the gods!"
