Chapter 230 Huge Revelations
?
"You're domain alone was enough evidence," Yuki answered with a calm and composed voice.
"How so? "
"Well for starters, we can exert 100% of our power here, so it means that you were able to create your own space outside the Fate that governs this world." She added.
"Okay, let's say I believe you, then it still doesn't answer some of my questions," Vincent spoke, still seeking clarity.
"Alright, as a compensation for almost killing you, I will answer all your questions before we talk about my main objective,"
"So you finally admitted that you almost killed me," Vincent sighed. He couldn't help but notice that every woman he met seemed to have some intriguing and unusual traits.
While she did bear some resemblance to Sophia, particularly in her small eyes, the similarities ended there.
Unlike Sophia's adorable and girly demeanor, this woman exuded a different aura altogether. Her presence was commanding, and there was an unmistakable sense of arrogance and confidence about her.
"Just ask your question," she said, trying to shift the conversation.
Seeing this, Vincent decided to stop dwelling in the past. Getting some answers was more important to him now.
"How about you? You're already this strong, so are you also not bound by fate?" He asked.
Yuki let out a soft, almost melancholic chuckle as she shook her head. Her prideful demeanor remained intact, but her eyes held a hint of vulnerability.
"I'm not like you. Do you really think it's that easy to break free from Fate?"
"Then how did you become so strong?"
He recalled the information Evangeline had shared about what happened after the holy war.
He knew that Fate restricted the maximum energy available in the world.
Even the power of the old gods who survived the purge would be weakened by time because the limiter of the world would continue to suppress them.
Moreover, the younger generation were constrained from reaching this level of power due to the world's restrictions. This was precisely why beings of Rank SSS became exceedingly rare in the first place.
So he was curious about how Yuki became this strong. It doesn't make any sense.
Yuki's gaze held a hint of caution as she contemplated.
"I can answer your question, but you have to promise to keep this a secret."
Vincent hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to expect, but he nodded solemnly.
"I promise," he said, giving Yuki his word. His curiosity was piqued, and he eagerly awaited her revelation, wondering what hidden knowledge she held.
"I will kill you if you don't keep your promise," she warned.
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word."
Yuki's eyes narrowed before she began to speak.
"The reason I'm this powerful is because I'm not born in this world; I come from what you call the underworld. And the person who sent me here to check on you is Lord Hades," her words carried a lot of respect as she uttered the name of her Lord.
"Hades! Underworld!" He exclaimed. He didn't know him personally, but he had read about him in books.
Hades, a prominent figure in Greek mythology, is one of the twelve Olympian gods, ruling over the underworld and the realm of the dead.
He is the son of the Titans Cronus and Rhea, making him a member of the powerful first generation of gods.
According to the myth, after the Titanomachy—a great war between the Titans and the Olympian gods—Hades and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and established their rule over the cosmos.
Zeus became the ruler of the sky and the heavens, Poseidon claimed dominion over the seas, while Hades took charge of the underworld.
As the god of the dead and the afterlife, Hades is often portrayed as a stern and somber figure, associated with the underworld's dark and mysterious nature.
He was not considered evil, but his realm represented the final resting place of the deceased, and his role was to ensure the proper functioning of the afterlife.
"You came here under Hades order ?" Vincent repeated, trying to process the information.
"It's Lord Hades.... and yes, that's correct. I was tasked by my Lord to keep an eye on you, to see if you truly possess the potential to become one of us," she explained, her voice low and steady.
"But I must warn you again. You can't tell anyone that someone from the underworld came into the mortal world. The gateway to the underworld was severed long before your era. The only reason I was able to come here was because of someone who can manipulate space," she warned.
Vincent nodded in understanding. The existence of these gods was already well known in the past, but for some reason, even Fenrir had only met a handful of them.
It seemed that those individuals who Fenrir met were the ones who chose to stay, like Lucifer.
"So, the underworld doesn't have these limiters imposed to them?"
"That's right ," she answered.
"So the Fate that governs this world is different from the one that governs the underworld?"
"That's not the case at all. The underworld and other realms are still part of this world. The only reason they were able to have their own independence is simply because these places are actually Domains.
As for who created them, even Lord Hades doesn't know," she answered, shedding light on the enigmatic nature of these realms.
"Domains ? .... Don't tell me..." a sudden realization struck him.
"That's right. Your domain might be smaller in comparison, but this place is actually a fixed domain. You are not summoning your domain towards you. You are actually transporting yourself to your domain which is on a fixed location somewhere" she answered, confirming his suspicion.
The revelation left him stunned, contemplating the implications of this new knowledge.
"Then what about those other domains, like Diablo's domain?" He asked, intrigued by the differences.
"The one that Diablo has is nothing like yours. His domain is nothing but an illusion come to life, but it's limited. Unlike yours, where everything you create is real. Your domain can be considered a small world," she explained, highlighting the distinctions between their abilities.
"Do you have any more questions?"
"What does Hades want with me ?"
"He wants you to grow stronger much faster so you can destroy the limiter of this world "
"Then what happened after that ? Destroying the limiter could also destroy the same power that severed the Earth from the other realms. I doubt you will all come here with peace in mind "
Yuki paused for a moment, but her eyes was still filled with pride.
"Either way, you still have to destroy the limiter if you want to prevent Fate from resetting this world. At least if you join forces with Lord Hades, we can help each others,"
"And believe me, your chances of defeating Fate are still low, even if you complete your fragments and break the limiter," she warned.
"This is all too much to take in," he sighed.
Until now, his main focus had been on protecting the world against Fate after breaking the limiter that held him back.
Now things have become more complicated because of the arrival of this powerful woman, and her revelations about this secret realms.
