Interdimensional Farming in Another World

Chapter 133 Sisters

?

The spirit guardian stood as an unbeatable force, and this realization prompted Kain to direct the horned mutant's aggression towards Chitra.

Once again, the Divine Butterfly assumed the role of Chitra's protector, expending vast amounts of energy to deflect the relentless onslaught.

However, it didn't remain alone in its defence for long. Chitra emerged from her daze, her clarity restored.

Upon awakening, her gaze met the fierce advance of the horned mutant, only to witness the Divine Butterfly warding off its ferocious assault.

Despite having acquired comprehensive knowledge about the horned mutant and insights into future events, she chose a different path, defying all expectations. With determination, she stepped purposefully towards the menacing creature.

Tear brimmed in her eyes as she witness the monstrous form of the horned mutant coming towards her. A memory that she buried deep within her psyche was awakened by the information transmitted by the Divine butterfly.

She grasped that the abominable monster she battled was an inevitable outcome of her actions. A surge of regret engulfed her being as this realization settled in, the tears in her eyes bearing witness to her turmoil.

Chitra was currently thirty-one years old. She worked hard to be one of the strongest warriors in her tribe. And she had a reason to do that. 

Most of her time was spent fighting evil or training. And she was proud of her past for doing so.

Her status and fame were built by her own hands through the work she had done.

However, as she confronted the horned mutant and delved into its history, the foundation of her world crumbled like a sandcastle eroded by the tides. In an instant, the feeling of superiority forged by vanquishing evil and the joy derived from her cherished accomplishments transmuted into a sombre melancholy.

She was not a great person worthy of respect. If not, how can she allow something like that to happen and be oblivious to it all this while? 

Memories of the past and the future merged into a blur, leaving behind only guilt.

-

Chitra's motivation to grow stronger and fight evil did not stem from the need for fame, glory or monetary rewards. It was regret and guilt that drove her.

In this life, she wanted to protect everything and everyone around her. And to actualise that, she needed power. After all, she failed to do so once due to her powerlessness. She was unable to protect what was dear to her once. 

Achieving tier 5 was something she did to find solace from the guilt and regret she had due to her failure to protect what was dear to her in the past. 

-

Fifteen years ago, Chitra was a happy little girl. A weak little girl that enjoyed her life as much as she could. Within the shade of the Divine Butterfly tribe, she could get everything she wanted and do everything she wanted.

So, one day, she went to explore the city. But failed to notice that someone was following her secretly. As a mediocre warrior, at that time, she couldn't detect the person who was following her.

She spent the day visiting several shops all across the market of Pushpam. She bought and tinkered with everything she felt curious about. She was making the best of her time.

But, when she entered an inn to eat something. She noticed a familiar figure following her closely. It was none other than her twelve-year-old sister Lila. She sneakily followed her sister without the knowledge of her sister.

"Sister, How can I be a great hero that protects everyone when I am kept like a prisoner inside our residence? Let me explore the world. Let me see the world for what it is just once." Once she was caught, Lila said that with a beautiful smile melting the heart of her stern sister.

Even though children were not allowed to roam the city without supervision, Chitra did not want to spend time taking Lila back. So, she decided to take her along while she explored the city. 

The sisters had a wonderful time as they explored the city. They came across traders and people from nine different regions of the continent. Spoke to some, and bought sweets and specialities from the nine regions while they explored.

For Chitra and Lila, it was they were truly happy at that time.

But, their happiness was short-lived. Something happened while they were returning to their residence. 

Something caused the underground organisations in the city to rile up. A battle commenced in the streets of the city forcing a  crowd to form. They were fleeing from the dangerous area. And in that chaos, Chitra lost sight of her sister for a short while.

And that was the instance that she regretted the most in her life.

After losing sight of her sister, she was unable to find Lila again. She informed her tribe and searched the area again and again. But it was of no avail. 

Lila was not found after that day. This led Chitra to drown in sorrow for many years. But somehow, she overcame the guilt. She began to strive for achieving her new goal. To become a person capable of protecting everyone that she loved. A similar goal to what her sister Lila had.

–I think you should take a look at

Present…

Glistening teardrops reminiscent of crystals cascaded from Chitra's eyes in succession as she gazed upon the colossal, horned mutant assailing her. Not a trace of resemblance to her sisters could be discerned in its form.

But she knew from the images shown by the divine butterfly that the creature before her was her sister Lila. 

"ARrrrh." A muffled scream escaped her lips as she gasped for air. She couldn't stop the tears flowing from her eyes. 

The angered horned mutant, that was trying to kill her was her own sister. This realisation devastated Chitra more than she could imagine. 

And the images of the cruel experiments that Kain conducted on her made her body weak. 

The desperate cries of her sister and horrifying images made Chitra lose her sanity for a moment. She stepped forward opening her arm to hug the monster that was nearing her to tear her apart her heart. 

Maybe, it has already fulfilled its purpose of tearing apart the heart of Chitra.

The Divine butterfly had to intervene to protect Chitra from her own stupidity. 

Alex, who witnessed this without knowing anything couldn't comprehend what was happening before him. He turned to Kain, but he could only see the person smile mysteriously as he was having the final laugh.

Although he failed to attack the Divine butterfly previously, that anger was replaced with a mysterious smile.

"Why are you smiling?" Alex felt an odd feeling seeing the crazy bastard smile. So, he finally asked the question that was haunting him.

"It seems like she has realised it." 

"What? What did she realise?"

"That the final winner will always be me." The smile Kain displayed widened. He was now smiling from ear to ear.

"Care to elaborate?"

"Hm… I will take that as your dying wish and elaborate. How do you think I made that mutant?"

"By doing human experiments?"

"You are half correct. It was the result of hundreds of thousands of human experiments. But experimentation was not enough to create something like that. It also needed some luck. 

"Fifteen years ago, luck finally blessed me. Even though I was not doing serious experiments, one of my failed creations suddenly grew a horn. Different from all the mutants that I have made. It was stronger and better than all other mutants, even capable of accepting orders."

"And it's that mutant," Kain stated the obvious.

"But what does it have to do with the current scenario?" 

"It has everything to do with it. You know that a live human was used to create a mutant. So, who do you think I used for that experiment?" Kain asked Alex even though he would not be able to answer. 

"Who?" 

"Her sister. Ha ha ha…" Kain laughed while saying that aloud.

"WHAT!" This was the first time Alex had raised his voice against Kain. Unknown to him, anger was swallowing Alex. 

Alex was someone that prided himself in his ability to control his emotions. But somehow, something was triggered inside him this time.

Alex was given a detailed report about the city by the spice garden when he came to the city. It did include the missing case of Lila, the sister of one of the strongest warriors in the city, Chitra. And he remembers it clearly. 

The child was just twelve years old when she was kidnapped, tortured and turned into a monster. When Alex realised this, his blood boiled. He wanted to snap the neck of the bastard Kain, then and there. 

For fifteen years, after turning her into a monster. The evil bastard might have tormented her. Using her as part of different experimentation. The same would have happened to the street vendor's son if not for Alex's intervention. 

"Unfortunately, it was a lucky coincidence that I made the horned mutant. I have been trying ever since to produce a similar one. When I was so close to achieving it, you and your group messed it all up." Kain said nonchalantly at Alex who was trying hard to suppress his anger.
