Chapter 312 The Dark World's Situation



"Naturally. You will know everything in due time. However, as we said, you came here ahead of time. What exactly happened?"

The red-veiled woman nodded and asked. Although I couldn\'t see her eyes, just by the tone of her voice, her concern over me was leaking out.

"Does it need to have an order of things? Am I supposed to come here later? Accidents are called accidents because they happen unexpectedly. I know there\'s that thing called Destiny but it\'s not fixed, right? The future is always changing."

"You are right. There\'s no point thinking about things that already happened. We have to think of a way to send you back."

"Is it that hard? Why do you still need to think of a way? Can\'t you just send me back to the Portal I came from? Why is it not possible to slip me out?"

After that series of questions directed to the red-veiled woman, my gaze switched to the boy World\'s Will. "You commanded a strong Transcendent, someone I am still hopeless to cope with. Just tell her to toss me back to that Portal, why is something as simple as that needed to be brainstormed?"

I know there\'s probably something at play here, hence they cannot do the simple thing I just said. However, without any information and them not telling me anything that I needed to understand, I have to improvise and work with my words to scoop out some answers from their mouth.

Judging from how serious they are and the sincerity of the red-veiled woman\'s warm consideration towards me, what they told me about them being on my side is true. Otherwise, she neither will know my name nor they will know about my memories being incomplete.

"I\'m sorry, Master. That\'s not possible anymore. After commanding the Blade Monarch to capture you, the presence of a Transcendent from a lower world jumping over has been made known to everyone. If we send you back, \'they\' will know. I sincerely apologize for this blunder."

"Huh? Why did you order her? Her connection to us will be exposed. Worldy, how many mistakes will you make in a day? Your interest in a Mortal World Transcendent will already be seen as abnormal, but ordering a Monarch? You\'re giving me a headache… If only…"

The red-veiled woman gracefully put a hand on her forehead after reprimanding the boy again. However, her last sentence was left hanging as I felt her heated gaze trained on me even if it\'s behind that veil of hers.

Just from that, it\'s fairly easy to confirm my earlier guess about her identity. And by stopping at that, she stood by whatever\'s binding them not to tell me anything.

"Who are \'they\'? You\'re the World\'s Will. You\'re the manager of this world. Who can threaten you that you have to mind what you do?"

"..."

"I see. It\'s something I\'m not allowed to know yet again. Well then, send me back to my body, I will think of a way to go back by myself."

I shrugged. The tone I used was as if I\'m giving up on them. If words will not work, then perhaps appealing through their emotions will.

And like I thought, the red-veiled woman hastily stepped forward and grabbed onto my shoulder.

"Daisuke… I know this is hard to accept. What we\'re doing… has a purpose. At the moment, we have to keep your identity and our connection to you a secret. No one can know how important you are and at the same time, we can\'t allow you to die here. Someone will take you out of the place you are in. I assure you. Once you get your memories back, you will understand why we can\'t tell you anything at this moment and who we are to you."

"Worldy, send Daisuke\'s consciousness back to his body and do not summon him again. Just watch over him if you want. Also, refrain from coming to me or commanding anyone. Continue observing and give them a headache. They\'re the ones you should annoy, not me. Understand? We will definitely be questioned. Tell them the excuse we provided three years ago."

This red-veiled woman, the contrast in the way she treats us. It\'s like seeing two different sides of her. In any case, I managed to pick up some things from their words.

Three years ago. That\'s the start of the Dark World\'s Invasion.

Remilia is one of their subordinates and most likely someone undercover for them and they have more than just her. A Monarch also sounded to be something like a Title for a certain rank in this world.

The red-veiled woman is a Companion from my previous life.

Worldy or the World\'s Will of this world treats me as his Master. Going from that piece of information, am I the Creator of the Dark World? It\'s the most plausible reason why that boy calls me Master.

Unlike the worlds I already traveled to, it appears that the World\'s Will is not the supreme authority here. He and the red-veiled woman appeared to be under monitoring by \'them\'. Is it possible for a normal denizen to surpass a World\'s Will and have it conform to his will?

From what we got from the Transcendents who descended, they categorized the worlds they\'re invading by how high the risk will be according to the number of Transcendents.

Since they\'re assimilating Mortal Worlds, that boy, is he being forced to assimilate the worlds? My absence resulted in this world to be stuck and so… they resorted to transforming this world into an Invasive World.

Since I cannot scoop out more information from their mouths, I can only go with these temporarily.

"There\'s one more thing, Master. The Portal you exited from was closed and this world\'s connection to that World was severed. It was closed on that side."

Before my consciousness was sent back to my body, the boy added another important piece of information. For me at least.

-

-

When my eyes opened, I was once again welcomed with the bright light which opened at some point while my consciousness was at that space.

At least, compared to earlier, the restraints on my feet were already removed which allowed me to raise my body and lean my back comfortably on the black wall. After who knows how long in that position ever since Remilia captured me, even as a Transcendent, my body felt the numbness of my muscles.

The footsteps of the Rank 5 Mortal guard still continued and the three presences at the other cells were still there, one of which is still on the verge of life and death.

The red-veiled woman told me that someone will come to take me out of this place but when will that be? She didn\'t say any estimated time. Every second that I am here and with my Pathway suppressed, I don\'t know what\'s going on in the other worlds.

The only saving grace in this situation is hearing the news that they managed to close the Portal in the World of Elements. It\'s somewhat anticlimactic but what else could I ask for? We\'re pressed in time there and I got myself caught here. That\'s much better than letting them be trapped or the efforts we expended to rush towards that location be turned to waste. I wanted to hear the details from them but I have to make sure of my situation here first.

Well then, let me grind this Chain off me first and think of my next move after it.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on the Invisible Storage, specifically the Level 2 Flux Energy storage.

Since I got too used to the almost invincible Energy Control, trying to control a Level 2 Energy with it suppressed to a lower level was a new experience for me. Nonetheless, it was better than nothing.

After making sure that the patrolling Mortal Rank would not notice, I started to draw out my stored Flux Energy and shaped it into a hacksaw. While I acted like I\'m resting my back comfortably at the furthest side of the prison cell, the hacksaw made from energy started working on removing my restraint.

Although it\'s a somewhat grueling task, I couldn\'t continue to be restrained like this. I wanted to check on them and see the situation, not only at the World of Elements but also at the other two. I\'m not the only one worried here. Surely, they\'re more worried about my current situation here.

Counting by the seconds passed, less than three hours later and more than half of the stored Level 2 Flux Energy spent, the last bit of the Chain got severed in two, giving back the freedom of my arms.

Before the Chain dropped to the ground, my hand caught it to avoid the patrolling guard to hear the noise.

And along with that, even without any notification, the meager Dark Energy existing in this prison cell was instantly drawn towards my body. Like a sink that had the clogging fixed, the Dark Energy flowed smoothly as my passive Energy Absorption kicked in, refilling my used Level 2 Flux Energy a unit per second.

Feeling the circulation of energy once more, it was even more comfortable than my back resting on that wall.
