Chapter 1879: Cla.s.s Trial Completion Rewards
We moved through the white portal after what seemed like a whole week of adventures, going from the Wild West to a Train Battle to a Race in s.p.a.ce was never what I could have ever expected this entire trial to be.
But it sure was entertaining, and full of new experiences. There"s lots of people we met as well, some good, and others really bad... But I think we did fine, despite all the things, and despite all the chaos and destruction caused here and there.
However, to be honest...
I was kind of homesick already.
I am too used to Yggdrasil, I wanted to go back already no matter what. And well, here we are. We appeared...
Wait this is not Yggdrasil!
"Where are we?" Miranda asked.
"It seems to be a completely white s.p.a.ce?" Benladann asked.
"I thought we would go back home!" Benladra complained.
"Wait, I think this is the place where we get to choose our boons," said Drake. "It probably is, isn"t it?"
"Indeed."
FLUOSH!
Suddenly, the white light around this world took form, becoming a majestic giantess with long silver hair.
It was Andromeda!
"An, Andromeda!" Benladann said.
"You"re finally showing yourself up!" Miranda said happily.
"It wasn"t longer than a day, but I missed you," I said. "Not having your voice ringing behind my ears was strange."
"Hahah, and I had fun watching you in your adventures," giggled Andromeda. "It was quite the ride. I bet you have many questions, but let"s first address the thing you did this trial for, alright? Your Cla.s.s Rank up, and the reset of your Level Cap, and also further increase of it." "Oh right, yeah!" I nodded. "But I really wanted to ask if what we saw, what we experienced, that world... Can you tell us if it was virtual, a dream, or something real? I"m confused."
"I think it"s like a virtual reality or something, right?" Benladann asked.
"Oh, yes, that question, I expected that," nodded Andromeda. "Through the powers of the Law of the System and its connection with s.p.a.ce and Time as an Ascendancy Law, and even the power of Creation, I was able to create this Trial through placing specific limitations, which in exchange, granted me greater power to do this and create a Trial where you could gain great power and experience."
We listened carefully.
"I tapped into the Records of the Universe." She said.
"R-Records?!" asked Benladann.
"You can do such an insane thing?!" Miranda asked. "Wait, can you do other crazy things -considering that?"
"Of course, but they come with limitations and restrictions, and ultimately, I am still very limited too to how the System exists and works, the challenges it places and the conditions it creates," said Andromeda. "Nonetheless, what you saw was indeed real. It was not a dream or something. You visited the Records of a Story within the Universe."
"A Story...?" I asked.
"Indeed, you visited that world, that planet, you made friends, and also enemies," she explained. "It was like you traveled to the past, technically. The changes you"ve done to this Record will not change the present, but have technically created a new, branching path."
"So we traveled to the past and created an alternate timeline?!" I asked in disbelief. "No way..."
"It isn"t technically the past," she explained. "The power to travel to the past and the future... I do not possess it. I tapped into the Records of the Universe; a small archive was all I could automatically take. It recorded this story. And then, I placed you within this record, which once done, materialized itself into a new branching path automatically, not by my power, but by the sole nature of the Universe."
"That"s insane..." I said. "So all we did... Even Carl, Henriet.i.ta, and Emil... Will they be alright?"
"Yes, the ones you met and saved are now doing fine," nodded Andromeda. "However, I no longer can connect to this place nor speak to the people in it... It is lost within time and s.p.a.ce, but it exists... Somewhere."
"T-This is insane..." said Miranda. "Well, I"m a bit relieved too somehow... I guess I"m happy they"ll be fine."
"Did this branching timeline created a completely new universe?" I wondered.
"No," she said. "The Universe... I am still trying to understand it, but there"s a single one. It simply has branching paths, but they all belong to the same metaphysical s.p.a.ce. A whole universe is not created."
"That"s confusing..." I said.
"I find it confusing too! I"m actually still trying to somehow figure this out myself, the existence of my own being as the System and how it has been elevated after the Ascendancy Law of the System are incredible... If we continued growing stronger, Drake, we might reach heights even higher than this," Andromeda said. "But well, that"ll all depend on you and your decisions."
"I understand now," I nodded. "Thank you, Andromeda. Now, what do we do?"
"You earned score points, let me show you," she waved her hand, as several, gigantic holographic windows appeared before us.
