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

'Things have changed. The appearance of the Negative Forces must be dealt with and removed from this world. We have decided to permit you to make contact but under one condition. Rather than Galio receiving all his old memories, you will lose them until this life is complete. This is the last mission, so this should not be too much to ask,' the Guide said in Tallia's mind, surprising her.

The voice spoke clearly in her mind and made Tallia freeze in place. The Guides never spoke unless it was the start of a new world, so this must be important.

'I accept this, but what does that mean for me?' Tallia asked.

'You will only have the memories that you have made so far in this life with him, but everything about your pasts will be sealed away. You and the other Goddess will become his Positive Energy Weapons to stand and defend against Nemoria and her Negative Energy Riftwalkers.'

'If it means protecting the world and the one that I love, I will do whatever it takes!' Tallia declared.

'Of this, I am certain. Your fight has been long, but this is the price that we ask to grant his request. Become the Positive Energy that he needs to remove the Negative.'

I slapped back a cross jab with my blade, and the other hook came around. I jumped back as the fist smashed across the ground, sending a spray of rocks that I put up a shield to block.

The body was much bigger now, and it was on all fours.

The Riftwalker screamed, shattering my shield, and I was hit with chucks of stone. The monster used its momentum and rolled at me.

I flung myself to the side, barely rolling out of the way. Both of us rolled back to our feet, but I heard a familiar voice scream my name as I got to my feet.

"Galio!" Tallia called as she came flying through the air with a glowing fist that connected with the Riftwalkers bone shoulder.

The creature was sent flying through the air to smash into the east mountains. It rolled back to its feet fast and started to change back to its four-armed form.

"Are you okay?!" Tallia asked as she rushed over to my side.

"Fine, just getting tired of swinging this damn sword and not doing anything to it! You just hit it and knocked it flying, but it is getting up like it's nothing!" I complained.

"Can you promise me that you will keep fighting no matter what you see?" Tallia asked me, reaching a hand out to me.

"What?!" I asked in shock, stepping back from her hand like it was a snake. "What are you doing?! You are the one that said we couldn't touch!"

"Things have changed. When you touch my hand, I will lose all of our time together until we leave this world. I will only have what we have made so far. You are going to have to teach me to love you again like you did so long ago," Tallia said as she got closer to me.

My heart was in my throat as Tallia stepped up to me. I wanted to tell her that she didn't need to do this, but I knew that wasn't true.

I wasn't even sure if my cannon idea was going to work at this point, and the Riftwalker was starting to rush us.

*BANG, BANG!!*

The side of the Undead Riftwalkers face was blown off, and one of its front legs. It fell to the ground, crashing down, ripping up the earth, but it was already regenerating.

I turned my eyes too far off the wall to the north, and there was a sparkle of gold. I zoomed in and saw an adorable Dwarf with golden blond hair peeking over the edge with a big golden blunderbuss rifle.

"Are you prepared? I will do everything in my power to help you remember us because no matter how many lives I have to live, I will never forget how much I love you," I said as I looked into Tallia's rainbow eyes.

"I am as prepared as I will ever be. The Guide might be able to take these memories from me, but you control our fate, not them," Tallia said, and then she kissed me, and my body was filled with a burst of Spiritual... no, this was Positive Energy!

The pressure I had been emitting before was overwhelming Positive Energy, the power of the Gods. as always, the information that I needed came to me, and I finally understood what I had been doing.

Tallia's lips and kiss were like a drug, but it was short-lived as Tallia changed in my arms.

Suddenly, I was kissing a golden assault rifle that was floating in the air in front of me, not the most beautiful woman in the world.

It was a bit awkward, to say the least.

'Sorry about that; I don't normally kiss someone after meeting them so soon!' Tallia said in my mind.

I was going to tell her that she was the one that wanted to do it, but then I felt the rock drop into my stomach as I remembered. Tallia was just another woman in this world and not the same that I had been scared to touch.

'It's okay. I am sure we will get to know each other better in the future! Now, we have some business to take care of!' I said cheerfully, forcing my emotions down and turning them into a rage as I took the rifle out of the air and pointed at the Undead Riftwalker.

"You did this, and now I will wipe you from existence!" I roared and opened fire, unleashing four three-round bursts of glowing gold rounds.

They smashed into the creature and blew the legs off it, shattering the bones. They didn't regenerate, and the creature screamed at me, but my Positive Energy buffeted me from the distortion.

I was so mad, but tears rolled down my face because she was finally with me and in my arms. My goddess would walk by my side, and that dwarfed the rage, and Tallia started to glow and change into a mini-gun.

"Positive Energy Gattlin!" Both Tallia and my voice roared, mixed together as one, and a spray of golden bullets laid waste to Undead Riftwalker.
