Chapter 707 - A New Source Of Power?
.
.
.
As I felt the slight amount of Source Energy from Kritias surge through my body and convert into useful types of energies that I can use to strengthen myself, I rested over Agatheina"s bed while she rested at my side.
Meanwhile, one of my True Body Clones remained in my castle with my family, so it was not as if I left them completely alone.
And well, my soul feels a bit weaker now after having used so many stats into making that special clone that can exist in another world.
Thankfully, I had learned the Sealing Skills in time and managed to seal most of the overflowing power, I made the seal in a specific way where the power will slowly unlock as the clone develop its abilities within Kritias.
I wanted to create this clone to explore another world, while also getting to know Ervas and Veronica better… And well, all of the reasons I explained earlier.
I believe that I might be able to create my own Origin in Kritias through that clone as I exist there and use the powers of that world to adapt my clone to it.
Then, whenever I get an Origin, I will be able to freely travel there through my Spatial and Void Magic, as I"ve already registered the coordinates within the vast cosmos into my mind thanks to the connection with my clone and Ervas and Veronica.
It could be said that there is a very thin yet strong thread connecting my soul with that clone, using it, I can track Kritias again.
However, what I feared might be possible…
Kritias"s time is way faster than Genesis"s.
I mean, compared to this world, Kritias seems to be going way faster, perhaps whenever I get the Origin, years would have happened… I hope my Clone is capable of handling it all well.
We cannot directly speak, but she can send me information and is doing so, constantly, mostly things such as her new status there, using Kritias System which had accepted her as a being.
She also explained a ton of things to Ervas and Veronica that they did not know about, and had been quite good friends… Oh, perhaps minutes had gone by since I sent her, but days had already happened in Kritias.
The time difference is insane, isn"t it? But I cannot do much about it.
Thankfully, my clone has my same mind, meaning that she is strong-willed and will be able to live well on her own, Ervas and Veronica had been friendly with her up to now, so I believe that they can a.s.sist her in getting stronger as well.
The rest of Ervas and Veronica"s family and friends treat her as just another summoned monster… Well, a very intelligent one that has a whole history in her own world, takes a s.e.xy fairy form and all of that.
But do not worry, I am not trying to steal the show for Ervas and Veronica, I know they are like the "protagonists" of their life, and I don"t want to overshadow them with my awesomeness, so my clone keeps its insane powers in check.
And well, because she is so weakened, it is not like it can do any of the crazy stuff I can do as the main body, but it does have some of my powers, just very nerfed, for the time being.
Just as I said, I sealed most of her power so the Laws of Kritias Origin would not suppress her alien powers, so she will unlock them as she progresses…
Oh, in Kritias, my clone is treated as a Monster, and can only "Rank Up", which is pretty much evolution and cannot get Jobs, sadly.
Although it frustrates me a bit, I believe that there might be a way for Ervas and Veronica to share their Samsara System at some point, and increase the progression of my clone tremendously, and well, also boost the power of all their friends, family, and Kingdom.
By the way, their Kingdom is named the Igni Kingdom, after Ervas" surname, which he got from his mother, who had escaped the village where he was born towards Kritias" Demon Continents, where Demons and Beastmen lived away from the Continent of Anir"s Hands, where Humans, Elves, and Dwarves made their home.
Ervas was left alone with his father, who took good care of him, but his father was an orphan, so he had no surname, but a single name was given to him by the villagers that took care of him during his childhood, Jason.
Jason is quite strong too, and the only human within Ervas and Veronica"s group, they say that he has insane muscles and the power to break down a mountain with his trusty club… I wonder if he and Truhan could become good friends, although I heard that Jason had a very pa.s.sive and pacifist nature, and doesn"t enjoy fighting unless it is necessary, so maybe not so much.
There are many other charismatic people within this group, it is baffling how many friends had they forged, reminding me of myself.
Well, now I am also part of their group, I guess… I am looking forward to the adventures that my Clone has while it slowly builds its own Origin of Kritias. I will make sure to use whatever abilities in my Clone to aid them.
I believe that this might lead to something else, something even greater and more important, the union of worlds and the alliance between them, and perhaps, I have become that connection…
Oh right, I have a small connection with Ervas and Veronica, as I have given them my Blessings… or Divine Protections as they are called there.
Although they cannot summon a split soul to strengthen them like my followers in here can, I believe that my Divine Protection will bring them a good enough boost in growth. Which is already terrifyingly fast.
Really, they beat me into even eating G.o.ds, they took less than five months to that, while I took way longer… Well, maybe it is just a thing of circ.u.mstances? I don"t know…
Haah… These experiences had really made me wonder about the vastness of the outside, and what awaits me and my family and friends.
It is just an enthralling mystery altogether, even after meeting two Primordial ent.i.ties, what they spoke could barely satisfy my curiosity…
I really want to explore it all, and find Earth.
Well, my Earth.
And I will bring my parents with me as we travel through the cosmos…
Sounds nice… Isn"t it?
But for now, it is but a foolish dream.
However, even dreams can become true when you try hard enough, right?
And this clone I have left there has been my first way to open the path towards such a goal.
Ah, I am pretty sure that the System G.o.ds saw it all somehow, if I got that one Skill, they had most likely done so.
I wonder what they think about all of it…
Well, they are so secretive, and even Supreme G.o.ds cannot speak with them directly, so I am left into obscurity about what they might think about all of what had happened.
I just hope they don"t get angry or something, I was just trying to open the path to something amazing, after all!
I glance at Agatheina as she peacefully sleeps with a tender smile.
I smile as well, kissing her forehead and getting up from the bed, I walk through the room completely nude as I glance through the open window.
A tranquil and cold breeze soothes my face, as I admire the beauty of Agatheina"s Divine Realm.
An eternal night that enchants my vampiric senses, a glowing crimson moon that looks like the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while, of course, taking out my family and friends, the vast plains filled with blood flowers, the rivers of blood, the gothic gardens filled with roses and th.o.r.n.y vines.
The structures surrounding the dark palace, making several buildings of gothic nature where Agatheina"s descendants live.
This world is rather soothing to me, why is it?
Is it because I am a Vampire?
Indeed, because Agatheina"s Divine Realm was made when she was already a Vampire, it became like a Vampiric Divine Realm, even more, that her Divinity is Blood.
So I guess there is that connection to me, huh.
I glance down below to her people, there are more than I had imagined, a lot of Vampires, it seems that they can freely enter here, those that live in my Kingdom come to visit this place often…
Most of the inhabitants are pale white and crimson-eyed and enjoy the atmosphere of this eternal night of a divine realm.
I wonder if there is, somewhere else, a world where there is truly an eternal night?
A world where Vampires govern?
Maybe it is too much?
An entire world revolving around vampires… well, wouldn"t that make them less special then?
Vampires are interesting, according to the info from Kritias, Vampires also exist as a Demon Race in Kritias, and they"re rather similar to the ones in here.
It could be said that Kritias is something like a parallel world of Genesis then?
Or vice versa?
Or perhaps, there is simply a group of worlds where such things are very similar in some regards, but there are also several very different aspects that make them up.
All of that is amazingly intriguing.
As I admire the Divine Realm with this body while thinking about such fantasies, inside of my Castle, I speak with my family about what had just happened with Ervas, Veronica, and my Clone.
They are left in a big shock, of course, knowing that I just casually met people from another world within the sleep that one of my bodies was having, and even lowered my own stats and all just to create a powerful and independent Clone of my soul so it could be summoned there by Ervas and all… They are left with a lot of awe.
Of course, the first ones to speak are the young children, surprised about what I had done.
"Amazing, mommy! Did you just go to another world and all?! Wait, if your clone is there, aren"t you there right now?! How is it!" asked Ailine.
"Yeah, yeah! How is it? Is it all weird? Is the water in the sky and the sky in the water?" asked Vudia curiously.
"I wonder if there is tasty food there!" said Nirah, as her Tail-chan waved around like the tail of an excited puppy.
"What about the people? And the cultures?" asked Belle as her eyes s.h.i.+ned brightly.
My Harpy babies chirp around curiously, asking me the same.
"Tell us, mommy!"
"How is it?!"
"Can we go? Can we go visit the new friends?"
"Can you bring a monster from there so we can eat it?"
"Can they level up there?"
"How"s your clone doing there?"
"Is it hard to breathe in another world?"
"Fufu, all of you seem so curious! But it is not really that different from our world… Although its origins are… perhaps. Kritias is a special world, formed by the enormous corpses of two ancient G.o.ds, Anir and Kelsus!" I said as the children open their mouths in surprise.
"A world made up by the corpses of G.o.ds? How bizarre…" muttered Amiphossia.
"It"s weird, but I guess that"s another world for you… Everything is weird and different, right?" asked Ryo.
"I wonder what kind of fighters there are in that world!" said Valentia.
"Haha, is that the only thing you thought about when mother spoke about another world, nee-sama?" asked Aarae in between chuckles.
"Another… world? Strange…" said Marduk.
"Scary…" said Nammu.
"Good people?" asked Nanshe.
"Indeed, there are good people there… And whole Kingdom of nice people. It is indeed, a Kingdom very similar to ours," I said.
"That"s amazing!" said Habitis.
"I wonder if we are fitting to visit it?" asked Ophois.
"Don"t talk unrealistic things, only mother could visit such a world because of her powers," said Maahes.
"Bbbzzzz?!" said Quinn, as she seemed surprised, a lot more than anyone else when I spoke about other worlds.
"Ervas and Veronica were reincarnated people just like me, they revealed me a lot of things from their past, so I did as well, such as that I used to be a man from Earth and stuff, it was remarkably interesting, and their story is quite tragic, to be honest- Huh? Quinn?!"
I interrupt my words as I see Quinn choking herself with my milk, as she was drinking it from one of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which I noticed happened the very moment I said that I was a man from another world…
I calm her down a bit, but she seems very aggravated… So I put her to sleep with a bit of magic so she can relax.
Such a weird girl, well, I hope the nap makes her feel better.
I continue speaking with my family about everything I heard from Ervas and Veronica, such as their history, how they died, and how they used to be one single soul but separated into two and reincarnated twice.
"Such an impressive story… Amazing, so there are people like this at every corner of the universe?" said Zehe.
"Everything surely is vast, gu…" said Rimuru.
"Indeed, this is insane… But exciting as well fufu…" said Nesiphae.
"It is a bit overwhelming for me…" admitted Brontes.
"Hey! That"s a whole new world that we can explore one day, right? Don"t get all down, Brontes! Get excited instead~!" said Gaby.
"Oh, I am very excited, actually… Fufufu, so much new blood to drink…" said Alice.
"Hey, that"s a bit creepy, don"t prey on other worlds people! Yet!" said Lilith.
"Sure, sure, we can have some friends… But what about their enemies? They are our enemies now… And I love to feast in my enemies," said Alice viciously.
"That"s the spirit, new world also means new enemies, we must prepare ourselves," said Altani.
"Aren"t you taking it all way too seriously though? Relax a bit…" said Oga.
"We can"t relax, we have to plan! Ah~! I can only wonder the amazing things we could find in other worlds!" said Charlotte.
"A lot to investigate! I wonder if the Squirrel-kin you spoke of is friendly? I could get a ton of new sisters!" said Kaguya.
"We must find what are their true purposes…" said Sofelaia.
"Hey, wait a bit, sister, don"t be so rash, can we even speak with them?" asked Sofarpia.
"Not yet, our wife said that she cannot directly speak to them, her clone can only send her info, but not communicate directly either… It is a whole other world away, after all…" said Adelle.
"But the mere thought of it makes me wonder what more can be there…" said Mady.
"Still, we have the whole Genesis to explore yet, so don"t get into a world-traveling territory yet, girls…" said Nixephine.
"Oh~! Could there be a world where Ra-sama exists?!" wondered Nefert.i.ti as she waved her tail.
"Didn"t Veronica said something about already having visited another world herself?" asked Nephiana.
"Oh yeah, that world about Greek myth? There was a Hades, a Thanatos and all… So there are different versions of people from here in other worlds too…" said Nanako, a.n.a.lyzing even the tiniest of information.
"That"s so fun! Maybe we could one day find a parallel version of ourselves?!" asked Ismena.
"Oooh~! What about a different parallel genesis, where evil and even more devilish versions of ourselves exist!? Wouldn"t that be amazing?!" asked Acelina.
"Sister, I believe that"s tarrying… How eviler can we get?" asked Jonette with a bitter smile.
"Another world… I want to see it one day…" said Kjata.
"Hm, I don"t care about none of that c.r.a.p! I am hungry!" said Nereid, demanding me to serve her food… What bratty little wife.
"I-I find it a bit scary to enter another world… Fueeh…" said Ocypete.
"Ah, don"t be like that, Ocypete-chan, another world must be filled with wonders! Be brave!" said Smilkas with a wink.
"I see that all of you are excited… Haha…" I said.
