500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 231 All Anyone Can Ever Do



"I do not mind, but I doubt you will learn anything. I don\'t even know how I do half of the things I can," I said, and Daphne giggled.

"That is okay! We just want to watch you work and be close to you! We can\'t help but admire you, Galio!" Daphne said, and I chuckled.

"I appreciate the sentiment, but you do not need to worship me. I am just a man, albeit one with some unique abilities," I said, and Daphne giggled.

"You are more than just a man, Galio. You are a God," Velma said, and I chuckled.

"I am, but that does not mean you need to worship me. Just enjoy my company, and let me do my work," I said, and Daphne giggled.

"Yes, Galio," Daphne said, and I chuckled as we walked.

As we started to make our way down the wall, the women started cheering, and I couldn\'t help but grin. It appeared that my little show of power had raised their morale, which was always good.

" Galio! Galio! Galio!"

The women started chanting my name, and I chuckled as I waved. I continued down the wall, checking on the women and ensuring they were all right. I also took the time to improve the cannons, making them more accurate and deadly.

When I was finally done, I returned to the top of the wall where Tallia was waiting for me.

"I see that you made quite the impression," Tallia said, and I chuckled.

"I did what I could," I said, and Tallia snorted.

"You always do," Tallia said, and I grinned.

"It is what I do," I said, and Tallia chuckled.

"Yes, it was quite the display of power." She looked at me with admiration in her eyes as we walked along the wall together. Daphne and Velma had disappeared together, but now Carla and Silvy were walking over.

I hadn\'t seen the captain since I had helped the woman overcome the Negative Energy from the last battle. The two of them looked to be in good spirits, but today was going to test everyone.

"Did you need something?" I asked as they approached.

Both women nodded as Carla spoke up, "We just wanted to say thank you."

I tilted my head in confusion, and Silvy explained, "For everything. You\'ve been a rock for all of us. We just wanted to let you know that we appreciate it."

I gave them both a smile and said, "Of course. I\'ll do whatever I can to help. Just be careful out there today."

They both nodded before walking off, and I turned back to Tallia, who was looking at me with a raised eyebrow. Before she could say anything, though, Daphne and Velma came running back over, giggling. It appeared that they had found something amusing while they were gone.

"What did you two find?" Tallia asked with a chuckle as the two women calmed down enough to speak.

"Someone got their head stuck in one of the cannons!" Daphne laughed, and I couldn\'t help but chuckle as well.

"Who was it?" I asked, still chuckling.

"Um... we don\'t really know," Velma said sheepishly, and I chuckled even harder. It appeared that they had been too busy laughing to actually find out who it was.

"Where are they now?" I asked, trying to stifle my laughter.

"Oh, we left them there. They should be able to get themselves out," Daphne said, still giggling, and I nodded.

"I\'m sure they will. Just make sure to keep an eye on the situation," I said, and Daphne nodded before the two women ran off again.

I turned back to Tallia, who was now shaking her head with a grin on her face as well, "Those two are something else."

"They certainly are," I agreed, still chuckling as we turned our attention back to the preparations.

,m It was getting far past lunch now, and the sun was even starting to dip below the horizon. I hadn\'t really eaten today, and I was getting hungry. I turned to Tallia and asked, "Do you think we could take a break for dinner?"

She nodded and said, "I\'m sure that can be arranged. Let me go speak with the others."

She walked off, and I turned my attention back to the preparations, walking over to the north edge of the wall. I had done all I could for now, so it was time to wait. The women had started setting up camp down below around the perimeter of the wall, and there was a lot of activity as they prepared their meals.

Tallia soon returned and told me that dinner would be ready soon. She then took my hand and led me towards the stairs, and the two of us walked down. The campsite was all gathered and reminded me of the Easterners, but I put them out of my head. Together, we found a place to sit down near the fire. A few moments later, one of the women brought us each a bowl of stew and some bread. It didn\'t look like much, but it smelled amazing.

It appeared that even though they didn\'t have much, these women knew how to make do with what they had and still produce a delicious meal.

We ate in silence for a while before Tallia finally broke it as she looked at me intently, "So Galio, when will you take me to meet the rest of your family? I am not sure that I want to meet your mother just yet, but it looks like the rest of the Zodiacs need your help to bring them all back together."

I didn\'t look up from my food; instead, stirring my food around. It wasn\'t like I didn\'t want to help them, but I found it frustrating that they hadn\'t been able to figure out their problems. These were all beings that you couldn\'t even give an age to because they, like myself, had been around since time existed. We all watched the world spin into existence, but now...

"Galio?" Tallia asked, placing a hand on my arm, and I looked up with a sigh.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about them all. Going back and seeing everything a mess like that was very frustrating. They all should have been able to work out their differences, but that is not the case, and most of my family feels like strangers now. At least my brother hasn\'t changed," I said in a weary voice and leaned over to kiss my cheek.

"I am sorry that it is so difficult for you, but I know that you will be able to help them all. You have always been the strong one, Galio. I know that you can do this," Tallia said, and I nodded.

"I will try, but I can\'t make any promises," I said, and Tallia chuckled as she leaned against me.

"That is all anyone can ever do," Tallia said, and we lapsed into silence as we continued to eat our food.
