Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 101: CHAPTER 101 – More about the World.

'Tell me everything,' Alex didn't know what was happening, he could guess but he knew that his guesses would probably not be accurate.

The system did give him knowledge about worlds and itself, but it was just basic information, the things that he needed to know, but it didn't give him detailed information about these things.

If the system gave him every detail there was in it, then what's the use of having the system spirit, Sophia?

Sophia had the job of helping Alex with 'whatever' he wanted her help with, and she was fully committed to it.

Sophia has always been happy to help Alex, but there were not many things Alex needed her help in, Sophia knew that as well, so she just wanted to help him best in the areas she could.

[Yes.] Sophia replied without a second delay.

[The gate that you had entered was like a pillar of the barrier that was stopping the world from getting stronger.

That gate was there as a test for the people in this world to pass.

It was never going to break, it was always going to stay there just like that so that the people of this world can take their time in clearing it.

It was supposed to be cleared by the group of strongest raiders in this world and if they were able to clear the gate, by any chance, then that means that the world has people strong enough to fight an SS-rank beast, even if it was by forming a group.

That was the indication that the world doesn't need the barrier to stop its improvement.

That's what happened here. The gate was cleared by you, breaking the world's limiting barrier, so now it's expanding, as the larger the planet is, the stronger it is.]

'I see…' Alex nodded inwardly.

While Alex moved through the crowd he was not just listening to Sophia's words, he was also looking around the crowd, observing the expressions and reactions of the people present there.

He could feel some fanatic gazes on him, but he wasn't sure of the reason, so he chose to ignore those gazes after all, the owners of those gazes were nothing but bugs he could squash with pressure alone.

Alex could also see the reactions of the S-ranked raiders that had arrived, almost all of them were on calls, reporting their finds to their higher-ups, while some kept staring at Alex and the group.

'So, the test that you are talking about, it was supposed to be cleared by the group of more than 20 or 30 S-rank raiders, right?' Alex questioned Sophia.

[Yes.]

'Then just like how we got the boost of getting their ranks up-ed by a whole rank, the team of those S-ranked raiders was supposed to become SS-ranked, weren't they?' Alex asked again.

[Yes, if the world strengthens, it gives a boost to the people of the world as well.

The world breaking its limit means that the barrier that stops people of this world from crossing EX-rank will be gone, but that also means that it now won't be suppressing people above EX-rank that enter the world.

So, it gives the people a boost so that they can fare better if an enemy of that caliber ever challenges the planet.

But there is still time as it takes a while for the barrier to completely vanish, and till then no one above EX-rank can enter the world easily.

However, this will not stop the entities below EX-rank, or EX-rank itself from entering.]

'You keep saying that the barrier broke and now the people above EX-rank can enter the planet's atmosphere, but if that was the case then what about SS-ranked, SSS-ranked, and EX-ranked entities?

They were allowed to enter this world even before the barrier broke, so why were there no gates with SS-rank and above till now?' Alex asked the question that had been bugging him for a while.

[The world is still young, and it has just been five years since it was introduced with mana, and no one knows about it yet.]

Sophia spoke and by looking at Alex, she could tell that he was still not clear, so she spoke.

[The gate that you cleared was not supposed to be cleared right now. The people of this world were supposed to clear other gates all over the world, slowly increasing the mana in the air until finally, they cleared that gate, breaking the limit of this world.]

'Wait, what do you mean 'Increasing mana in the air'?' Alex was getting more confused.

He was overpowered and he was able to understand things easily, but this was something he had no knowledge of so of course he was going to get confused.

[It looks like I forgot to tell you this before or I just never got the right moment to tell you this, but the gates that vanish after being cleared don't just vanish into nothingness.

They break into mana particles and integrate into the mana in the atmosphere.

As the gates are large, they need some time to completely break down, but once they break down, they merge with the mana in the atmosphere.

The same thing happens if a gate break happens, in that case however, the gate starts merging with the world after the boss is out of the gate.

As the mana in the atmosphere increases, the rank of the gates also increases as the gates need the atmosphere to have enough mana for them to maintain themselves.]

'Ah, I see, so the gates also need mana to stay where they are huh….'

Things finally started making sense to Alex.

[Yes, and now that you have cleared the gate that was supposed to be cleared last, you have pressed the fast-forward button of the world.]

'So doesn't it mean that there are going to be lots of gates emerging here and there for us to clear them, right?' Alex asked with a light smile.

[Yes.]

Sophia's answer only made him smile wider, as he moved into the bus of Crimson Lotus that had been waiting for them.

He didn't care whether his actions might cause more harm to the world than it would do good, all he cared about was profit, and that he was not ashamed about.

He knew that he took away the chance of 20 to 30 S-ranked raiders becoming SS-rankers, but did he care? No.

He knew that he deprived the world of its slow and steady development, but does it bother him? Not in the least.

Still, Alex never said that he was not going to do anything, after all, even if he didn't do anything, he knew Alice and Ann would, and he didn't want them to come in harm's way.

So, he is going to help the world a little, even if it is just for the people he cares about.
