Chapter 53 Volume 1 Epilogue
"Sigh." This is not the first time that Clint sighed today, and it definitely will not be the last one either.
"These past days have been hectic…" Clint muttered to himself as he wiped off some sweat off his forehead.
His clothes were unkempt, his hair disheveled, and his eyes were drooping, showing the exhaustion that he is feeling right now.
"Sigh, I want to rest now…"
Five days have already pa.s.sed by since the confrontation between Alex and Aleksei.
n.o.body in the Esper World knew that a fight between the two had happened, but everyone felt its repercussions.
The literal sky above the Esper World shattered, as it was replaced by a mesh of nets covering the whole world.
This is the real sky of the Esper World, finally revealed after being concealed by the World Diagram for a long time.
Everyone who saw the new sky panicked, as they realized that something ma.s.sive happened in the Esper World.
To make matters worse, everything managed by the World Diagram here in the Esper World all collapsed, as if their strings were all cut.
It took Clint and his colleagues several days to fix all of the troubles caused by this collapse.
"That d.a.m.n brat!" That is what all Clint could think of as he toiled away on fixing all the troubles around him. "I know that Alex wanted to help us, but does he really need to make it this hard?"
Being the former second strongest Esper, Clint naturally knew about the truth of the World Diagram, but he did not dare to make a move against it because of his personal life and the fact that a part of the World Diagram was held by his friend and rival Elizabeth.
He only had the courage to rebel 5 days ago as he had been spurned by Alex to make an action.
Clint did not regret his actions one bit, but he still felt angry from the fact that he did not manage to beat up Aleksei, and that he has to fix all the fall-out caused by the disappearance of the World Diagram.
But what"s done is done, and all that Clint can do right now is to go with the flow.
"Rest in Peace, Elizabeth." Clint muttered to himself as he finished his work for today.
Even if Clint did not see what happened 5 days ago, he was sure that both Elizabeth and Aleksei died at the same time, as that was the only explanation of the sudden disappearance of the World Diagram.
Of course Clint could have just asked Alex, but he and Alina were already gone before he could ask them.
"Where could those two have gone to?" Clint thought with irritation as he ma.s.saged his knuckles. "Alex, make sure that I won"t catch you in the future! If I see you even just one time, expect me to beat you up!"
According to his wife Natalia, 2 minutes just after Alex and the others were teleported right to their house, Alex and Alina were suddenly covered by a golden glow and before his wife could do anything, both Alex and Alina disappeared entirely.
Even when Clint used his senses to look for them, he did not find those two.
"Could they have transcended already?"
This theory could be viable, as with the disappearance of the World Diagram, every Star Esper here in the Esper World felt their restrictions disappearing, which meant that they can all now transcend to the Real World.
Of course Clint could have transcended too, but he had too much to do here in the Esper World, as he had to still deal with numerous problems caused by the disappearance of the World Diagram.
"Tsk, but those two are not Star Espers yet, so it is pretty impossible for them to transcend." Clint muttered to himself as he fixed his things. "But knowing Alex, I am sure that he has some bulls**t stuff that can allow him and Alina to transcend…"
Clint then went silent for a few seconds, as if he was trying to comprehend a universal truth.
His eye then flashed as an excited smile appeared on his face.
"Then I guess it"s decided then!" Clint eyes narrowed with determination as he decided his next course of actions.
"Once I dealt with all of the problems here in the Esper World, I will use my power to transcend to the Real World along with my family. Once I reach that place, I will use my power to establish a new gang! And once I become a powerhouse in the Real World, I will look for you, Alex! Hehehe, prepare yourself Alex, we will have a lot to talk about once we see each other…"
Clint then proceeded to laugh like a creep as he left his workroom. He fixed his attire as he walked towards his house with a skip in his step.
He could not wait to taste the dinner that his wife cooked for him, although Clint was sure that electric eel will still be a part of their meal.
"Sigh, when can my wife learn to cook a normal meal?" Even though Clint sounded he was complaining, the smile on his face showed his contentment.
"Eh whatever, I"ll just tell Natalia that her dish tastes good."
