“You and me both” David said, smiling slightly
“so…what are you going to do now?” David asked.
"No clue," Masayoshi said, "I'm currently still fighting with Mira. This right here is the only way I can somewhat keep track of the flow of time there, but I still think it's been at least trillions of years of battle there between us and him..."
Towa floated down above Masayoshi, sitting on her staff.
"Perhaps once our battle with Mira ends, whenever that may be, we could leave Kill-Gaia..." Towa said, "After all, he's served his purpose in helping us to get stronger, and we're clearly not his main interest...."
"That's true, but he could possibly already know about any attempt to do so," Masayoshi countered, "We need a contingency of some sort just in case..."
Meanwhile, in Kill-Gaia's domain, the seemingly eternal fight continued to rage on. Both Toyoshi and Mira grew stronger, faster, smarter. Every move they made, they were calculating how to get ahead of the other. For eons upon eons, they clashed with each other, countermeasures, answers to the other's attacks, exchanges, retaliations.... It was all evolving as they fought.
However, there would need to come a time when both of them would need to stop in order to pursue other things besides climbing the infinite staircase of power. When that time would be, however, was unknown to either of them.
