久久一本通凹凸一道久视

All of his friends looked at Leon with dubious expressions. It was only natural that they would do that considering that they didn\'t live as long as Leon, Ilyana and Tyrselle. Even if they wondered about the origin of the system at some point, they forgot about it after a long while due to the problems they faced during the stages of the assimilation.

"Are you saying that the system was created by someone?" Hector asked.

"Of course, it was," Leon frowned. "The terms used make that obvious. Besides, the trigger for the monsters to appear are just too weird. Why would they spawn then planets begin to run out of resources? The fact that time passes faster or slower in different stages of the assimilation is also weird. The system recognizes planets as living beings like you and me. So, to that make sense, time in my body was supposed to be slower in comparison to you, but that doesn\'t happen."

Hector nodded after hearing that. Still, considering what Leon told, everyone recognized the fact that the person or whatever created the system was supposed to be very smart and powerful. If that was the case, why would they leave such obvious trails behind?

"I know what you are thinking, it doesn\'t make any sense, right?" Leon said. "However, it starts to make sense, if you think that the being who created the system wants to be found and also wants to let everyone knows that they exist."

"So, do you think to reach the seventh stage of the assimilation you will need a lot of mana?" Ilyana asked. "That explains why you spared Tyrselle and her followers, but… instead of becoming gods, those who reach the seventh stage will find the creator of the system?"

"Yes, I think that is indeed the case," Leon nodded. "Everything we learned so far made me realize that. In the end, to reach the seventh stage, everyone just has two options. Kill everyone else and become the strongest of the universe or have access to all the mana available in the universe."

Tyrselle got up and then glared at Leon. She didn\'t say anything, but she couldn\'t believe that the second option was really something that would help them reach the seventh stage. In her eyes, that was just Leon being naïve.

"It looks like you disagree with me," Leon said. "Can you explain why my reasoning isn\'t sound in your eyes?"

"You won\'t obtain the cooperation of every single person who is still alive at this point in time," Tyrselle said. "It is impossible. You will have to kill many…"

"Killing is also an option, but it isn\'t necessary," Leon shrugged. "For the time being, I will need sometime to confirm if only the mana in all the planets that are under the assimilation system won\'t be enough. If that is the case, I doubt that someone can try to defy you, Ilyana or me."

"So, are you going to force me to obey you?" Tyrselle frowned.

"Nope, but you are going to help anyways," Leon shrugged again. "My goal is to nullify all the events caused by mana all over the universe while keeping our memories intact. I\'m sure that will help you in some sort of way."

"How do you intend to do that?" Tyrselle asked.

"We are going to talk to the creator of the system to do it, if he says no, we are going to force him," Leon replied.

When everyone heard what Leon said, they thought he was mad. The only ones who didn\'t think that were the spirits, Tyrselle and Ilyana. Challenging the creator of the system would be the same as challenging a god-like being. The person who created the concept of mana… challenging the very person who gave them the chance to obtain power. It was madness because all the powers they obtained, was something derivate by the creator of the system. Still, everyone there was smart enough to understand that anyone wouldn\'t give power to another without a good reason. That being wanted something and he used every single being in the universe to help them achieve that. After thinking for a while, everyone understood that they were just pieces in the chessboard of someone else. They were wheels of a machine that would help someone else achieve their goals. When they realized that, even the calmest of the warriors begun to feel their blood get hot.

"I can\'t forgive any of you for attacking my planets and causing so many deaths," Leon said while looking at Tyrselle and her followers. "However, I\'m willing to let bygones be bygones to reach an ending where all of us will feel satisfied with. If we succeed, we won\'t have any more reason to keep killing each other, the people that you cared about and died, the things you lost… everything, everything will return to its rightful place. Does any of you here is against that?"

Leon offered a handshake to Tyrselle. Truly, she only wanted to reviver her younger brother. She didn\'t want anything else. However, Tyrselle was also fully aware that what Leon was proposing was madness. Even if they join forces to fight, she couldn\'t imagine them winning. Even though they were probably the three most powerful beings of the entire universe. Leon could understand her feelings, after all, all the power they obtained was thanks to the creator of the system. They put a lot of effort to obtain so much power, but against the creator of the system… it was impossible to know if they could do anything, much less win.

Despite all that, Tyrselle accepted the handshake and she became part of the Reverse Mana Link. After such a long time, she didn\'t obtain the power to revive her younger brother. In the end, facing the creator of the system was the only thing she could do to reach her goal.
