Chapter 57: Talking to Sives & revealing the truth



\'Okay, then unseal part of her bloodline now.\'

Rain didn\'t hesitate to order the system, as he believed that as long as Sives kept the hope that she would be out of his control in two years, she wouldn\'t harm him in any way, thus condemning herself to an unknown fate. All the more reason her innate pride would not allow her to break her word.

Sives felt some sort of change within herself and immediately determined that its source was in her collar, which only made her frown harder.

\'Where in the world did he dig that up?\'

As a space traveler for over a hundred years and having been to many places, she had never heard of anything like this. She recognized that he was strong for his years, but the presence of such items could not be justified by strength alone.

Rain noticed the look on her face and said encouragingly.

"Don\'t worry, you have just under two years left."

"1 year 364 days 16 hours 48 minutes 13 seconds."

She corrected him with a look on her face that seemed to tell him she wouldn\'t be here for a second.

"You\'re pretty... accurate. But you\'ve been unconscious for a while, how can you be so sure?"

"Part of my mind keeps a constant countdown regardless of my state of consciousness. I made it in case you wanted to throw something out that would change my perception of time."

Rain was surprised at her answer, but soon grinned to himself.

\'I almost forgot that she is not human and to judge her by human standards would be foolish. And while her caution is surprising, she is still too naive compared to humans. After all, rather than change her perception of time, I\'d rather change her.\'\'

"What was I talking about? Ah yes, the element of space."

Sives went back to what she wanted to show before.

A faint fluctuation of space appeared in her hand and took the shape of a blade. She pulled some steel beam from the corner of his room without getting out of bed and effortlessly sliced it thinly, then began freely teleporting its pieces between each other.

Rain had seen her use the element of space in battle with him before, but seeing it so close for the first time he was pleasantly surprised.

\'If she\'s able to do these tricks using only a tiny part of her bloodline, she must really be talented.\'

Finishing this mini demonstration, her mood improved.

"Of course, our race isn\'t just limited to space control."

Sives hesitated for a moment, but continued nonetheless.

"As you have already learned, we are born and spend most of our lives in outer space. As a result, we have a much better understanding of the concept of the universe than humans do. Perhaps what I say next will be surprising to humans, and your mind may even be completely turned upside down when you find out."

She paused dramatically, as if preparing him for her words. Finally, she said in a serious voice with a touch of grandeur.

"There are many other worlds besides the one you live in."

Sives noticed that the young man\'s face hadn\'t changed.

"You didn\'t understand what I said?"

"I already knew that."

She looked at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Not sensing the lie in his words, she was a little embarrassed, especially after she had presented this information as something very important and secret.

\'How? Even I found out about it when I was over 100 and he looks no more than 20...\'

In her eyes, the mystery enveloping this young man intensified.

Though he didn\'t show it, as soon as she spoke of other worlds, Rain\'s interest skyrocketed.

"Tell me more about it."

Realizing that he knew a little about it, Sives was relieved.

"In some ways, space can be thought of as one vast corridor with doors leading to other worlds."

"While it may sound simple, even for us beings who have an innate affinity with space, it is difficult to travel to other worlds. I\'ve never done it myself, but there are elders in our race who have been to other worlds, albeit briefly."

At those words, Rain\'s pupils dilated and his heart quickened its pace as a single thought flashed through his mind.

\'She\'s my ticket back to my home world.\'

After he realized this, her value in his eyes grew exponentially and his desire to conquer her became stronger than ever before.

Rain looked at the girl lying next to him with complex emotions in his eyes.

"You know, we\'re alike in some ways. We both have a place we want to go back to and an obstacle preventing us from doing so."

Rain reached out and rubbed her collar while he himself thought about the Will of the World.

Sives didn\'t understand what he meant, but she didn\'t ask and just continued to stare at him. They were in this position for a while before Rain snapped out of his thoughts and turned to the matter at hand.

"What do you know about Ophelia?"

Even from their first meeting, Rain had sensed that the academy principal saw more in him than the others, which couldn\'t help but cause him some apprehension.

At the mention of her, the wolf girl\'s face tensed.

"Her bloodline is something close to us because of which she possesses a strong element of space, allowing her to travel freely through space. When our race first learned of this, they couldn\'t accept that their bloodline was mixed with human blood, and immediately tried to kill her to erase such a defective object from the world."

"Ophelia actually almost died a couple times, but in the end she was able to use it as an opportunity to become stronger and reveal the true power of her bloodline. After that, the roles switched and it was she who started defeating them one by one, capturing them alive, which hurt our pride even more."

"Of course, we still had elders of our race who had lived countless years, and if one such descended into this world, he would be capable of destroying it in less than a week and even Ophelia wouldn\'t be able to stop him."

"But for their power and almost divine domination of the space, their bodies had already assimilated too much with the corrosive cold of outer space and they couldn\'t live outside of it for long. So all they had to do was wait for Ophelia herself to come to them.

But as if she knew something, every time she appeared at the most inopportune time, when the elders\' attention was distracted by something else, and took away members of our race! At one such moment, I was captured by her."

A grimace appeared on Sives\' face as she apparently remembered her time spent as a rift core at the academy.

Although it was hard for Rain to agree with it, he understood her race\'s way of thinking.

They originally didn\'t consider humans as their equals and even though humans had strong representatives in their race, they didn\'t change their general opinion of them.

If a strong ant appeared tomorrow, would that mean that people would start treating ants as equals? They were thinking along similar lines about humans.

\'And yet, I must not let my guard down with Ophelia.\'

Noting in his head, Rain turned to the main question that had been troubling him for some time now.

"How did you know I\'m related to the Goddess of Darkness?"

"By the familiar aura around you."

Sives answered honestly, not trying to hide anything.

"You\'ve met the Goddess?"

"I haven\'t personally met her, but some of the oldest members of our race have seen her and memorized her aura, describing it as something incredibly dark, capable of absorbing all light. So when I saw something similar around the man\'s body, I immediately assumed you had something to do with her."

"Is it still around me now?"

The wolf girl shook her head.

"No, you look just like a normal human being now."

Hoping to get a reasonable explanation from his system, which was his main connection to the Goddess of Darkness, Rain turned to her.

\'Nari, do you know something about this?\'

[This may sound lame, but I really have no idea what she\'s talking about.]

Rain frowned, sinking into his thoughts. But no matter how much he thought, he couldn\'t find a good reason why he could have caused this dark aura.

\'What could I have done then to cause this phenomenon?\'
