Chapter 342 Worse The Expected!
Chapter 342 Worse The Expected!
'... What? This girl will finally wake up?! Sigh, I now understand why Shadow looked so in a hurry. It seems that he knows what he is doing.' Heepha whispered to herself with a sarcastic smile
"?! What makes you say such important things with so much casualness?" Linn asked with incredulous eyes.
"...Forget it; I think you'll know soon!" Serena did not explain anymore when she saw Linnaella's curiosity and agitation.
-Bang!!
"Hey, stop playing this game with me. You are aware that leaders have begun to move mysteriously lately. Sabrina would risk having serious problems if she had to fight against these bastards on her own!" She said, splitting the table in front of her.
"...In case you have forgotten it, I am no longer one of yours! So why will I reveal the plans of my allies?" She retorted with hesitant eyes.
"Tsk, how long do you plan to do this comedy? It may work with Sylvia and the others, but it's different from my case."
"...Never mind, I stay the one who had killed three Punishers for--
"So what? Do you want to talk about these three bastards who had tried to betray this arrogant slut for selfish reasons?!" Linn retorted before Serena finished her words.
"?! - How did you know it?!" She asked in disbelief, no longer being able to keep calm.
"..."
Seeing Linn's silence, she frowned and frowned.
"Is it Sabrina who gave you this information?! However, she promised me not to reveal anything to anyone other than--
"Try it again; this arrogant slut has nothing to do with it. As you know, I was the person who absolutely did not agree that she was our leader. And imagine that these traitors had come to ask me to help them in exchange for giving me Sabrina's position.
-But just by seeing their expressions, I knew that these weak bastards only wanted my powers. In addition to that, they had allowed themselves to be coaxed by the unfounded promises of the monarch of light and corruption that had promised them to make them one of the most powerful among us.
-But if what the monarchs really wanted was to accelerate the resurrection of our goddess. But the thirst for the powers of these three bastards was so intense that they had not even been able to notice this truth yet blatant before their eyes! It was annoying." She explained herself briefly when she saw Serena misunderstand.
"Do you think it really was that anyone would not notice this or end up having suspicions? If you were really one of the leaders, do you really believe that I would have brought you here to let you settle down comfortably and let you go whenever you want?!" She added, noticing Serena's silence.
"... Are Sylvia and the others also aware?" She asked in a roque voice.
"... I don't know, but she should have her own suspicions. This girl may seem innocent and calm, but she's more calculating than most of us; otherwise, she will not intervene between you and this girl. And even if she is weak compared to Sabrina and me, I am 100% sure that you will not be able to defeat her in a duel." She explains by briefly looking at Heepha, who listened to their discussions with particular interest.
"..." -Serena.
"In short, tell me what you know without pretending." She continued, noticing Serena's silence.
"... First of all, how much do you know?" While pronouncing these words with an ironic smile, she looked at Heepha with hesitant eyes that had blatant intentions.
"..." Seeing her look at Heepha while pronouncing these words hesitantly, Linn also looked at Heepha, raising her eyebrows.
"Good, very good. If you don't want me, then just say it; it's not like I don't have anything else to do than waste my time listening to such boring and unimportant stories."
While retorting these words coldly, her silhouette ignites once again on the armchair before disappearing in front of them.
But despite the fact that flames surrounded her, the chair where she was sitting did not have the slightest burn.
"..."
The two remained momentarily silent when they saw Heepha's sudden disappearance without notice and without resistance.
"Finally, she at least manages to understand some things," Serena murmured before creating a magical soundproofing barrier around them.
Seeing her actions, Linn frowned, guessing there was more than she thought.
"Apart from that, I don't know anything more. It's total fog." She says.
"Hmm, very good. Since things have happened at this point of no return, I want to reveal some details that the Monarchs and Leaders only know of our two camps (The punishers and the Leaders). But you must promise me not to make it known before the time comes!" She started with this warning.
"... Um, that's okay." Linn nods her head with slightly confused eyes.
"Well, to begin with, what do you know about our war against the Leaders?"
"I don't understand."
"What I want to ask is, what do you know about the origin of this Huguette that lasted almost forever?"
Linn frowns.
"Isn't it to prevent them from abusing their powers?" Instead of affirming, she reformulates her answer as a question.
"Sigh, as I imagined. But you are wrong. It's just a lie mounted from scratch. In reality, our existence and those of the Leaders, the war that has lasted for millennia, all this is intended to ensure the return of our supreme goddess." Serena said, making Linn even more confused and Heepha, who had never left her seat.
'Why do I feel like I've made the best decision? According to my last memories, this girl was supposed to be killed by Shadow to ensure our lord's sleep. But just by seeing the beings of this universe, I realized that something was wrong. But to believe such a plan in progress exceeds my expectations.' Heepha murmured while in her camouflage.
"Impossible! Why go so far as to massacre billions of people and reduce the population of this universe to half just for that?" Linn asked with disturbing emotions.
"You still haven't understood? We're only cannon balls destined to die to accumulate enough energy to resurrect our creator! Prevent them from abusing their powers? You are foolish enough to the point of believing that such absurd grapes could be enough to create such hostilities between us?! Have you ever asked yourself the question about that?!" She asked with an ironic smile when she saw Linn, who seemed to have trouble believing the cruel truth.
Seeing Serena make fun of her, Linn inhales several times to regain her cold blood.
"I'm not stupid for not noticing this. That's one of the reasons that led me to move away from this absurd war with the excuse of being unable to exercise my powers. On the other hand, what makes us different from Leaders?
-Just like them, inferior creatures are only seeds before us. Even if we do not kill to ensure our survival or go so far as to create dozens of plantations, we have still done things as awful as they are.
-There is also another detail to take into account. If we were also forced to kill people to absorb their magical energy, would we be really different from them? Will we make other decisions from theirs? The answer is obvious. And I am probably not the only one who had such thoughts; otherwise, this war will not calm down as it is now." She continued with an ironic smile.
"... You are right. Apart from Ferda and her gang, no other Punishers answered Sabrina's call. And seeing that she did not insist, I think she has already chosen her side."
"Her camp?" Linn asked confusedly.
"Yes, recently, the war between our two camps has become only a spectacle to divert the attention of librarians and their lackeys, who are none other than monarchs. Anyway, This project had started when Galiel, the former owner of this planet, was still alive. There are two camps in the shade. The monarchs and those who allied themselves to their causes, like the three traitors I had killed and the resistance fighters who did not want to die to ensure the resurrection of the goddess! It's also--
"What?! Do you say that librarians are more powerful than monarchs?! But why?!"
"Sigh; as I said, it's to prevent us from going against the goddess's will. Our books of destiny held by librarians are only artifacts linked to our lives and destinies. And since I am the only one endowed with the concept of destiny, I am, therefore, the disruptive factor in their plans. And just as they had killed Galiel, they had tried to fuck off me before I caused more problems. In short, this is another story; let's go back to the subjects that concern us.
-They had killed the former owner of this planet only because he was out of reach of their powers and any influence of their parts since although this planet is one of the fragments of the original planet, it is the only one that does not have a celestial library or monarch living on it!" She paused when she saw Linn confused.
"I don't understand what you mean by killing Galiel. This guy was killed by none other than Sabrina and Sylvia. Do you also want to tell me that it was a staging also to hide the real assassins' carpet in the shade?" She frowns while asking in an uncertain tone.
"... Not quite; it was actually a kind of orchestrated execution."
"Hm? An execution?"
"Yes, I'm sure, since Randolph himself had shared this information with me. According to him, they had not intervened in this battle between Sabrina and Galiel only because they had been ordered not to intervene. And as Randolph is also one of the resistance fighters, who was with Galiel and the others, including Sabrina and me, and some other Leaders like Linda, the queen of giants who are hidden in another space-time, he had no choice but to make a low profile so as not to fail the plan.
-In fact, the monarchs themselves are not problems, but our natural enemies are the three librarians who are on our two planets and the denial that resides on the planet of ancient beasts, and finally... two other people you know as well as I do; Raydja, the primordial blacksmith and Lindra, the primordial alchemist!"
Hearing Serena says these two names, one of which was one of her best friends, Linnaella stopped breathing as her starry blue pupils became dark golden.
"... Tell me, Serena, what kind of nonsense have you been telling me about earlier? You know, just like me, that this alchemist woman and this blacksmith have disappeared for a millennium. So how can they be our enem-
"Disappeared? It's true, but they are alive. By the way, these two are more powerful than the three librarians and are not even what they claim to be.
-To be exact, they are not even subordinates of our goddess, but her knowledge! And unlike the others, they are ready to do anything to revive her! Think for a second; they gave us weapons capable of killing our fellow primordial beings, elixirs of all kinds but not those who heal curses like the one that gnawed at you sometimes ago.
-Don't you find it strange that this girl, Lindra, creates all kinds of elixirs and poisons but no high-ranking healing elixir? And this blacksmith was the worst bastard! He only made weapons and artifacts capable of killing or destroying, but no artifact aimed to improve our daily lives. They aimed to intensify our war!" She explained herself without considering the insults of Linnaella, who was overloaded with information.
'Lindra and Raydja? These two names seem familiar to me. But I don't remember where I heard them.' Heepha, sitting quietly on her sofa, uttered these words thoughtfully.
'But one thing is for sure; Shadow is currently not powerful enough to care for the two transcendents. If this girl really tells the truth, then I must warn Shadow to be careful-- sigh, but given his previous anger, it will only push him further to wash his honor.' She continued with a frown.
"Goes on!" Linn, for her part, retorted these words in a cold voice.
"Well, I think the situation could go wrong this time, given the current tension between these two sides. But what is certain, we are always on the side of the losers. Even if Randolph and Sabrina are in our camp, you know that the monarchs are stronger than us. The librarians are stronger than the monarchs themselves! Not to mention these two beings, I think they too are commanded by someone superior to them!"
"?!" - Linn.
"In any case, this last information is not confirmed; it is only a hypothesis on my part after their mysterious disappearance even before the war ends." She justifies before Linn misunderstands.
