Chapter 294: Task
[AN: Bonus Chapter 3/5]
"Wait, slow down. Do you mean earth?" Kana asked. She was getting very confused by the way the voice was speaking.
"Yes… Earth is only one of many planets in a different plane that is being used as tests. You can consider the universe as they know it no more than a small s.p.a.ce used for testing different scenarios. Each planet is far enough away from each other that even if one civilization is able to fly freely through s.p.a.ce that they will never meet up." The voice replied.
"Okay, I understand that now, but why was I not supposed to be born there? What do you mean by that?" Kana"s head was spinning with all this new information. Everything was right out of left field. Whether she believed the voice"s words or not didn"t matter.
"You are someone who should have been born in the planes above, much higher than any of these realms here. Even the person who was your mother on the other world was only tasked as such. You see, you were born without being conceived. In order to have you die quicker, so we could pull your soul back to this realm, we had no choice but to cause her death and then make your life difficult. We had expected you to die right away, but who would have thought another ten years would pa.s.s before we could fetch your soul. You see, we are unable to take your life. We needed you to die naturally. You may hate us. This is normal, but we had no choice. We were tasked to do so in order to bring you to where you belong. We placed you in the mortal realm to give you an easier life until you were high enough level to understand things.
"We can not tell you more. The rest will be told to you when you reach that place. Only then will you understand everything. Just know that you will not be limited in your actions. You can do as you see fit. Whether it is living thousands of years producing many offspring or destroying worlds, no one will stop you." The voice explained as an image of an old woman with horns appeared in the air. Her skin was red, and her hair was jet black with black horns to match. She looked at Kana and gave her a warm, kind smile. "I will give you a present with the last of my power."
Kana did not get to say a word when her body was suddenly lifted into the air, and a blue sphere hovered over her brow. "The things the new Queen of h.e.l.l is calling Darklings are nothing more than ancient souls. They seek out and devourer light. But now, I will make them devourer anything you see as an enemy and will lock them within a s.p.a.ce in your mind. This way, you can summon them at will. There are over three billion souls here, most of which I will lock away and slowly release as you grow stronger. For now, you can only handle one hundred souls."
As the old woman finished speaking, the black souls from the outside began to turn into streams of back light as they were sucked into the blue sphere that was spinning over Kana"s brow. Back at the edge of the abyss, Camlia was confused as to what was happening as the darklings were being turned into streams of light and disappearing. The area that was once pitch black was beginning to brighten, revealing a world lost to h.e.l.l"s past. "It seems my little sister was able to solve the problem…."
Mortal realm…
"So soft..." Fox High G.o.d Methiesee was sitting in a room in an inn with Kiliffia they just paid for. Kiliffia was currently sitting in his lap, blus.h.i.+ng so much that even her neck was red as she let him brush her tail.
"Methie, why did you want to brush my tail all of a sudden?" Kiliffia shyly asked.
"Hmm? A beautiful girl such as yourself deserves to be pampered, no?" Fox High G.o.d Methiesee or Methie for short smiled warmly as he said this. In truth, he just wanted to get closer to Kiliffia. The two had been together alone for almost a week now, and he could feel that Kiliffia was starting to have feelings for him. Even now, although she was blus.h.i.+ng, she showed no hint of resisting and was even relaxed.
"But I am not beautiful..." Kiliffia wouldn"t believe it. No one has ever tried to hit on her. So she would never believe she was someone who could be considered beautiful.
Methie reached his hand up and scratched Kiliffia"s ear, causing her to melt into his hand. She turned her head and looked at him, his handsome face entering her eyes, and before she knew it, his face lowered towards hers, causing her to freeze as she felt something soft press against her lips. "What"s going on!? Is Methie kissing me!?"
Methie sat there with Kiliffia in his lap, kissing her lips. The two stayed like this for a long time, only parting when Kiliffia could no longer breathe. Methie smiled at her and used his finger to trace over her now red lips. "You will always be beautiful in my eyes."
Kiliffia gazed up at him unsure of what to say. She could only nod and rest her head on his broad chest. Her heart was beating so fast she felt like it would pop out of her chest at any second. She wondered if this is what Kana felt when she met her Handsome Husband. Only after a while of silence did Kiliffia finally ask: "Methie what does this make us?"
"Hmm… Well I would not kiss anyone I do not plan to marry in the future so fiancee? If you are willing, that is..." Methie asked as he lowered his head and kissed the top of Kiliffia"s head. Her ears twitched slightly. She raised her head and looked at the man who was looking back at her. His eyes were filled with sincerity and expectation. She reached up and cupped his face with her hand and nodded her head as she mustered up her courage to kiss him on his lips.
