Chapter 143 The other side
"Hmm? These coordinates... seems we need to travel quite a long distance. Well, then let me begin now."
After getting the coordinates of the new world, Seraphina begin to take control of the whole sect.
She released all of her demonic energy and the rune beneath her began to glow with a red hue.
Slowly all of her demonic energy poured into that rune and it was taking a shape of a strange symbol which Seraphina ignored but Evan found it familiar.
'This rune... isn't this the one that I saw in the mark on my hand...?'
It was the same rune and the rune was taking the form of a person that was alike to what he saw from the mark on his hand.
'Does this mean that this sect belonged to someone before? It seems plausible seeing all the things here that are so well crafted, someone had to make them to exist, right?'
He was expecting a explanation form the system as it did whenever he asked something or had a doubt, but this time it stayed silent. Evan confirmed that his evaluation was true, if not the system wild have said something to him.
He then looked at the rune that had taken it's full form.
Seraphina opened her eyes after she felt that entirety of the sect was under her control and said, "Let us go now."
And just as she was about to make it move, she felt a heavy burden upon herself and she fell to the ground with her knees bend.
Evan acted quickly and grabbed her by her shoulders.
"This sect... it's heavier than I expected."
She then got up by herself and straightened up.
"I just it would be easy, but seems this holds much more secrets than I previously thought."
Evan take back his hands after he felt that she was fine and nodded his head as he also knew that there were more secrets in this sect than what he knows already.
"Did you know?" Seraphina turned at Evan and asked.
"Hmm? What?"
"This sect... it's much bigger than what we see."
"What are you talking about?" Evan asked back, not understanding what she meant by that exactly.
"Seems you don't... you see, when I tried to move it just now... I felt that it was connected with something else and realized that what I was trying to move is just a piece of land that was connected to a much bigger part, though I did not see what that bigger part is."
'This sect is just a small part... Hey system, do you mind explaining something?'
[Ask her to try again, host.]
'Huh? Aren't you hiding too many things from me? What might happen if I knew that this sect was just a small part of a bigger realm?' He said, a little pissed now.
[Exactly, host. There was nothing in it for me to hide and it wouldn't have mattered even if I told you that, so I simply didn't say anything. No need to worry about it, host. It's nothing special.]
'You seem rude. Are you sure there is nothing you are hiding from me?'
[Host...]
[Will you not ask anything about this anymore? As much I want you to know many things related to you, this particular topic doesn't concern you in any case, so please do not query about this anymore. And I am being rude if that's what you are wondering, there is a line that you shouldn't cross and that another side is one of them. Do not press this matter any further.]
The system said, it's words and it's tone both hinted that it was a sensitive topic for the system to discuss. So respecting its request (though rude) Evan decided to not ask anything more.
'Alright, I won't ask you this again.'
He sighed and shook his head.
"Why don't you give it a try again, mother? It might work this time."
Seraphina nodded her head and tried to move it again and this time it moved without any problem.
"Hmm, what did you do? It is super smooth to move it now." Seraphina said, surprised to find it more comfortable and easy to use than the teleportation devices in the demon realm.
"Someone helped with that. It might be a tiring job, do you want me to help you after you become tired?"
"No need. It's not much, besides I will be travelling through the void to travel faster, it's better if I operate this than anyone else."
"If you say so. I will then go and check on others."
"Alright."
Evan then left the room and arrived at the throne room.
He claimed the stairs and sat at the throne that was at the top.
He then looked in front of him using the power of reality.
[I suggest you don't, host. You won't find anything from doing that.]
'I know you are hiding it from me and I can guess why too, that place might not be related to me or might not have any significance meaning for me, but it does for you. And if it concerns you... then it does to me as well. Don't think you are alone now, you can trust me too.'
Saying that he used 'Reality', his eyes turned green and he saw everything vanishing infornt of him, he could see his sect in it's entirety that was surrounded a thick black energy, but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't see more but the darkness.
[I told you already, host. There is nothing you can see even if you tried. I have told you this many times and I will say this to you now. I have nothing to hide from you, if the things didn't bind me and I was allowed to tell you everything I knew, I would have done it long ago.]
[All of the things that you wish to know, all fo your doubts, your queries, you will know the answers for all of them on your own without me telling you to. Your fate isn't certain and that makes you an anomaly. And me calling you fateless has a very significance meaning to it, if I can't see your fate then no one else in the entire existence can do it.]
[You should use it for your advantage instead. All of the beings here are fated, there is a path that has been chosen for each and every one of them at the moment when they were created, but you are free... you can do as you wish, so cherish that.] Enjoy new stories from empire
<You being fateless might turn out to be the deciding factor when you encounter him. But I do not know if it will work at all. There is a probability that you might perish and your fate will be to die by the hands of that demon. If that moment ever arise, then I won't hesitate to give up my life for you... if my death flares the flame of revenge in your heart and you strive for the blood of that demon, then I will be more than happy to sacrifice myself.>
<I do not wish to hide anything from you, Evan, but I can't reveal it to you right now. It's not that I do not want to tell you what is on the other side of this sect, but I can't bring myself to remember that horrifying moment once again. That place... the other side... it is still drenched in the blood of my people... their agonizing screams still echoes in my head, that slaughter and his laughter in that massacre... it still sends shivers down my spine.>
<I doubt if you can even get the strength to stand infornt of him in the future... but I do wish that you can become that much powerful to atleast hold him back and make him think twice before doing anything.>
<It's laughable that I am actually betting on my false hopes. Your potential might be great same as that demon... but this hides a saddening truth in itself. Having the same potential as him means that you can never surpass him, if you keep getting stronger it will happen to him too, the gap that you have... it might never be breached. But I am still holding onto that glimmer of hope...>
Outside the system space.
Evan was still trying to see what's behind that darkness, but no matter how much he tried he couldn't see behind that.
'Sigh... why does it say I can see through anything when I am not able to see through the darkness in front of me?'
Evan rested his head on the throne and said while sighing heavily.
[Host, what do you see in front?]
'It's plain darkness... why do you even ask something so stupid?'
[Are you sure what you see in front is darkness? Look clearly host, is that really darkness?]
'Hmm...?'
Confused, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the systems screen with a doubtful gaze.
He then tried to look at the darkness again and what he found made him realize that it wasn't darkness at all. It wasn't that he couldn't see behind that dark space... it was that there was no space at all.
It was nothing.
