Chapter 106 The Absolute Beginning.
Chapter 106 The Absolute Beginning.
|Potion of truth and soul connections. Grade:?? |
'This potion looks more powerful than what she gave Alicia during her interrogation. Well, it will simplify the next steps.' He says to himself in his thoughts. By analyzing the bottle that contained a thick golden liquid.
"You have fairy eyes, master. This potion is a divine potion that Nicco had personally prepared when she was here. Its purity far exceeds that which I gave to Celestia." She said after ingesting the whole liquid.
"Shit, stop reading my thoughts. It's boring to no longer have privacy!" Dryly replied Alvine in a dissatisfied tone.
"..."
"What will prove to me that this one works on you? What are its effects when you lie?"
"Do you want evidence? Here they are. To tell you the truth, this potion will not be able to cause me the slightest damage. But when I pronounce something that is not true, you will instinctively know that I am lying. Otherwise, you will know it too." She said nonchalantly. "Sigh, how should I explain this? In short, the position itself will not react to me, it will let you decide what punishments you want to inflict on me. If you want, we can test its effects." Seeing Alvine's frowning, she had no other solution than to deepen her explanations.
"No need, we can start." He said in a cold tone. It was not that he trusted her, it was rather due to the notification that had just appeared in his visual field.
|The target is now linked to you for her interrogation. As long as she tells the truth, you can't do anything to her. But when she lies, a simple thought on your part can kill her instantly. |
|Time remains before the effects disappear: 30 minutes. |
|29:59:56~|
|29:59:53~|
|29:59:50~|
"In this case, I'm waiting for your questions. Note that the potion lasts thirty minutes." She said with a sigh of relief. 'I didn't expect him to believe me so easily.' She says to herself in her thoughts.
"Are you my enemy or my ally?" Alvine began with the question that concerned him the most.
"I am your enemy." Said Sabrina with a mysterious smile.
|The mark lies. It's up to you to decide her punishment. |
"What are you playing? Do you think it's something fun?" Alvine replied when she saw that she had deliberately lied to prove the effects of the potion.
"That was not my intention. I just wanted to prove to you that the potion was real. Be sure to excuse me if I crossed the lines." She apologized after feeling Alvine's tension.
"In short, what I would like to know is who are you really? I'm talking about you, Nicco, Ashia, and Helen." Asked Alvine.
"We are your maidservants."
|The subject tells the truth. |
"...! Don't hijack my question. I ask for your race, your species." He replied by frowning.
"..." -Sabrina.
"What? Did you suddenly become mute?" Asked Alvine in a frustrating tone.
"Before answering this question, can you show me the inheritance, once again?" Asked Sabrina in a firm tone.
"The inheritance? What are you talking about? I'm sorry for you, but...
|She refers to the flames of GÉHENNES. |
Even before he could continue his sentence, the system notified him with these words.
"Are you by chance talking about the flames of GÉHENNES?" Said Alvine strangely.
"YES!! I'm talking about the flames of géhennes. Do you know his flames?!" Hearing Alvine pronounced the name "Flamme de géhennes" she jumped on her chair and flashed directly in front of Alvine with her purple pupils sparkling with hope.
"Tsk, I only know that it is a cursed flame that is only made to destroy. It is the very embodiment of evil. Moreover, since I woke up in this strange place, everyone I had met seemed to be demonic Gods. Why?" Asked Alvine with a more confused air.
"Sigh, master, one question at a time. First of all, I would like to see the flames of géhennes." She says as if it were an absolute condition for revealing the truth to Alvine.
"Tsk, if that's what you want, then...
[Active skill: Gehenna Flame]! He did not need to incant to launch this skill. 'I have the impression that using this skill is also simple like breathing. What secret lies behind the origins of this skill? Is this really a skill that only the gods can use? Moreover, now that I think about it, it is not only me who can use a divine skill. Yuer had also acquired the [temporal law] and Nelda can also use the [spatial law] even though they are at the rank of the empress. What is the difference between this frightening skill and the others? To my knowledge, the temporal law and the space law are really unparalleled magics! So why is she obsessed with these flames?' Alvine wondered, digging his thoughts to find the hidden room.
"It's..."
Just by seeing this expression, this astonishment, these sparks he had never seen in Sabrina's eyes, he could instinctively guess that things do not seem as simple as it seems. "Are you finally going to decide to speak? What are the origins of these flames? Why are you so obsessed with this skill??" Asked Alvine after losing patience in the infinite sea of suspense.
"Sigh, master, listen carefully to what I am about to reveal to you. I hope, no, I'm sure it will answer all your questions." She said by giving a chair to Alvine who was still standing, ready to attack. But seeing her expression, her eyes sparkling with seriousness and honesty, Alvine ends up giving in to her invitation.
"Well, Summarize your sentence in two words." He said after settling comfortably.
"An illusion." Briefly says Sabrina.
"..." -Alvine. "Sigh, okay, it was an exaggeration to ask for such a condition. Can you develop your words?" He did not expect Sabrina to respect the letter this condition of "two words". As a result, he was stuck between his discomfort and ridicule.
"The world as you know, no... the most appropriate words would be the universe as you currently know is in reality only the imitation of the original world that brought together all the races that lived in harmony." Conta Sabrina. "Originally, there were more than ten thousand different races that were created by the supreme tree which is also called the "MOTHER OF ALL CREATURES", the "SUPREME" also nicknamed... the YGGDRASIL tree. Elves, humans, dwarves, Amazons, mermaids, fish-men, Goblins, Ogres, Orcs, and so on... maybe they are the only breeds you know thanks to your studies. But apart from them, there are still several thousand lower and higher races... such as elves, jinns, Acheris, Dullahans, Stregas, Geniuses, Morgans, Gorgonians, Stryges, Simurgh, Sylphs, Lycanthropists, Vampires, Argonids, giants, cyclops..." She paused to let Alvine digest the information she had just provided.
|You have just learned a tiny piece of information about the beginning. |
|Your IQ has increased by 100. |
As for the latter, his state of stunning was at its climax when he heard Alvine's story. 'YGGDRASIL's tree? Is a planet capable of housing hundreds of thousands of different races? In this case, how big would this planet be?!' Pensa Alvine with an incredulous air.
"In this case, what happened to arrive at the creation of all these planets? What is the link between this story and my current situation? And above all, what is the relationship between this story and the illusion you were talking about before?!" Stamped Alvine by asking his question. His hands trembled when he asked his last question. For some reason, he had the intuition Sabrina's next words would upset her world and the idea that he was made of it. 'No, her information far exceeds my understanding of the universe. But now that I've started opening the golden box, I can't stop so close to the goal.' He concludes with mixed feelings.
"This is only the beginning of the story, please be patient, master. The cause of the creation of leaders who are called primordial beings, later. The war that was the cause of the extinction of thousands of races, which was the great upheaval never known since the creation of our races, and also... the death of our supreme divinity, Lady Reha." She says in a tone filled with gloom. "Well, where was I? Hmm... originally, there were only high elves who have golden hair and who are also known for their great elementary affinities. Orc lords who have unimaginable forces but basic intelligence and who are almost zero in magic. Demons who thirst for insatiable blood, brute forces comparable to ogres, affinities with destructive and dark magic but who are more vulnerable to purifying affinities. Dwarves who know knowledge in a specific field but who are weak in combat and magic. Humans who have high intelligence, average affinities, average forces, and average lifetimes. All these factors were Lady Reha's will. I don't know his motivations for creating races that each have their strengths and weaknesses."
"But such creations with hearts corrupted by greed, thirst for power, thirst for domination, thirst for intelligence, jealousy, grudge, hostility, thirst for justice, fear, despair... war was inevitable between these tens of thousands of different races who had cohabited in peace for billions of years. A bloody war that will last for several centuries. During all this time, the supreme lady was only an observer of their power follies, their insatiable greeds. She had never intervened between them. But all this was changed when the whole world was at the end of extinction, some dozen races that were probably the next to be exterminated turned to the deity alone and begged it to put an end to this tragedy, which was only too long." After telling this part to Alvine, she went to her office and took out a painting on which, a couple of each breed were drawn among the ancient races.
Contemplating the painting that was beyond a masterpiece, Alvine could not help but praise and admire this supreme being who had created such racial diversity.
"Now that I'm done with the introduction, I will now get to the heart of the matter. Namely, why the war that was supposed to go out ignited and carried away the avatar of the YGGDRASIL tree that had led to the creation of the various copies of the universe and all these illusory races. Above all, why is all this related to the power you have just awakened, and what was the identity of your parents." She said after putting the painting under her desk. "I know my introduction is a little blurred but, when I finish my explanation, you will understand everything!"
