Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 675

Chapter 675: 675

The purpose of this chapter is to explain a few things and tell some lore to get more knowledge about the multiverse and so on .

...

Astria: The name of the last living Titan, which took the form of a world and was hidden in an abandoned area somewhere in the System Universe by none other than the Joker .

In this existing timeline (the present), there are two Astria . One was brought from the future using the elven time scroll obtained by Zodiak in the past and used by Yamak in the future (with the help of the Water Region Ruler, also known as Shen Shen) .

The future Astria is the one Arthur got reincarnated in and where most of the beginning of the story unfolds . The current Astra is also in the System Universe and was visited by the future Arthur, the Joker, Lolitta, and Yamak .

When the Divine Beasts struck almost all the worlds, stars, and planets in the Cloud Sea Universe and the System Universe, the two Astria were attacked and the present one had it easier than the future one, which Arthur protected . This explains why Arthur heard of the catastrophe back in the past .

Basically... Catastrophe hits Astria then ten thousand years pass and we’re in the future, where there’s the Eighteen Region . That Astria got sent back in time, which is why its people speak of the past catastrophe, which happened some time after Arthur’s reincarnation . Also, most of the people of Astria are from the future and that includes, Jackob, Robin, Anastassia, Sonia, etc...

Lucy had special circumstances and was thrown to the future Astria (which exists in the present) due to an incident so she doesn’t exist in the future .

Eighteen Regions, A peek ten thousand years later .

The eighteen regions were created a bit more than ten thousand years after Arthur’s first reincarnation . Little is known about their locations and rulers .

Shen Shen rules the Water Region . Anastassia Rules the Death Region and is also still Death itself .

At the end of Volume 11, Arthur conjured two clones identical to him in stats and skills . While he went with Lucy to retrieve the Dark Blade, Makaze, one of the clones went to the Heaven and Hell Universe to break out Radolf and Midolf then reach the Garden of Words while the remaining clone, accompanied by Astrith, went back to Astria

The Adult Tree activated the oath and urgently called him back as the Angels were preparing to attack Astria in order to get the Tree and revive ’God’ .

In Volume 12, Arthur’s clone successfully reached the Garden of Words and asked three questions . He ended up learning that Shen Shen, the girl he met in his travels was actually his biological daughter, whom he had thought she died when the pregnant Lucy perished right after leaving Riarravar .

Zaarae unknowingly went back to her realm, where the war between the Parasites and the Cthulhu was getting bloody and much worse . Despite her desire to accompany the man she loves, the Empress was forced to stay in her territory and manage things before her kin is slaughtered .

The Black Devil, Timos, along with Vyncent, also jumped into a mysterious pit, the same one Zaarae used, and never returned .

Shen Shen, Arthur’s daughter, early on, was kidnapped by the shapeshifter and thrown into the same pit . As per the Garden’s words, the little girl ended up in a separate plane of existence called the Binary Dimension, a place inaccessible even by The Twelve .

Edward Ortberg, an infamous serial-killer of the 20th century, who was locked into the prison due to the angel’s inability to throw him into hell because of his Heaven’s Mandate soul, was jail broken by Angelina, Lucy’s sister . Coincidentally or not, the Frog of Destiny appeared before him and altered his fate, bringing him next to Arthur only to appear for a second time and transport him to Astria, where he showcased his strategic skills and unrivaled intelligence .

The mortal man was appointed as the only commander of the MoonStar Sect army and led a small army of undead to defeat both the Naga and Pigolo Tribe . Although his feats were worthy of praise, his actions brought unwanted attention to the sect’s newly established branch located in the wasteland of Green-Leaf (The strongest Middle-Realm in the Cloud Sea Universe . )

The White Specter Clan was assaulted and slaughtered by the Cloud Sea Sect . Angelina was the sole survivor, she was captured and publicly executed in front of the empire’s citizens, however, right after her death, a lethal bomb razed the capital of the Divine Planet to the ground, killing millions in the process and ushering the beginning of a new era and, perhaps, a rise of a new ruler for the Cloud Sea Universe .

With the new information obtained from the Garden, Arthur’s clone set out to Astria, where he agreed to meet with the original body four months after their separation, however, it is uncertain whether the original body already returned or is still retrieving Evil Wind .

Volume 13 : A Hand of Ice and A Heart of fire .

The next volume will focus on Arthur and Lucy’s adventures in the Rose Sea, a dangerous region situated between the Cloud Sea Universe and the System Universe .

The Oath of the Dark Blade keeps calling its owner and it’s originating from the deep sea, which was uniquely colored pink .

Bonus Lore : After talking to The Garden, Arthur learned that ’X’’s real name is actually Patrick Jones .

Star Practitioners, which are common in the Heaven and Hell Universe, use the power of stars to strengthen themselves, it is also called Astral Force .

When someone absorbs more than 100 purple stars, they can contend against Mysterious Realm Cultivators .

Due to his nature and ominously strange Dark Magic, Zodiak was never considered a human and has been listed as one of the mythical beings .

Shortly after the fall of the Ramel Kingdom and the obliteration of the royal castle, the mythical being, Sun Wukong, took charge of the place and stabilized it before taking control of it .
