Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 266: CHAPTER 266 - [Danger]

(Some days before departure)

In a place filled with nothing but darkness, only a pair of blue eyes could be seen.

They were looking at a screen that showed the scene of a black-haired, red-eyed, stunningly handsome guy, sitting on a bed, while looking at an illusionary screen in front of him.

(Sophia's POV)

"What do you mean, Sophia?"

Ah, that question again.

What should I say now…?

[It is as I said, there is a chance that you guys won't be together when you reach that world….]

It is as I said.

These things are out of my control.

I can't control the system.

I'm just like a receptionist.

My job is to tell him what the system can do and can not.

"I don't want that…"

I can hear the sound of his teeth grinding along with his growl, but….

[Alex, you know that I can't do anything…]

"What do you do, anyway?!"

….urgh

It hurts…..

Those words hurt more than anything I've felt till today….

B-but, I have to live with it. I deserve it….

Maybe this was the reason I was made the system spirit.

Just to suffer more…..

I regret my past actions, I really do, but I can't change them.

"Sigh…."

I guess he can feel my emotional turmoil.

I should rile it down.

I don't want to make him feel guilty.

I am useless, after all…..

"I'm sorry, but your words are really not something I can go with….

[It's fine, I will try to look for another way…]

No, it's not fine!

Why am I saying that?!

There is no other way!

The other ways are only possible after he's stronger, much stronger than he's right now!

"I didn't mean those words, Sophia."

I know. I know you said that due to the frustration.

I know very well that you won't say something that'll hurt me, but….

A wound caused by words never heal.

Even if it was in a fit of anger, he said what it was in his mind, and the mind never lies….

[It's fine.

I will look for something.]

I can't look for anything!

Ah…

Maybe that would work.

[But you should try talking with Alice, Ann, and Luna about it because I'm not sure about there being another way….]

Please don't be mad, please don't be mad, please…..

"I will talk to them."

Sigh…..

The relief I feel right now.

It feels so good.

Let's just hope that Alice, Ann, and Luna aren't against the idea.

They know how much Alex wants to jump to another planet.

So, even if they know that they can't jump worlds without being separated, they would still agree.

It will be hard for them to stay away from Alex, but I know they won't like to see Alex sigh out of boredness, every single day.

I can't talk to them yet, or I would've told them the real reason I'm hurrying Alex.

We can't let Alex get bored...

........................

(The day of departure)

Phew…..

The girls did agree, just as I had thought, and although it was hard to make Alex believe that they were going to be fine, it worked out fine in the end.

I wonder why the home-point teleportation is so costly…

Oh well, we can think about it later.

Right now, let's focus on the thing at hand.

The screen in front of me only had two options.

{Start} or {Abort}

The process of collecting mana has been going on for two days, and it's finally done, now all I need to do is click the button.

[Alex, the system has charged the amount of mana required for the jump.]

I just need the confirmation.

Time passed but I waited for Alex's reply.

I know he's going to call for me when he's done.

*Giggle*

Recalling Max's words and Alex's actions is funny even now.

His behavior did seem gay if one looked at it without knowing what was happening.

But, I, better than anyone, know that Alex is not gay.

Also, does that Clare girl think that she's hiding?

I can see regret in her eyes, and even that melancholy light in her grey eyes is not hidden from me.

But it was her fault for not accepting Alex's offer. He did ask her if she wanted to come along.

Not like I care about her.

So, whatever.

I simply shrugged, but just then….

'Sophia…'

I heard Alex calling me out, and I knew that was my cue to press the start.

*Click*

And with that, the process is on now.

Phew….

I can finally rest-

[Danger!] [Danger!] [Danger!]

What the!

What's happening?

"What's going on?!"

I voiced out loud.

"System, what's going on?!"

The whole system is blaring with alarm, so why the hell is it not responding?!

"System, tell me what's going on!!!"

What the fuck!

[Danger!] [Danger!] [Danger!]

At least reply to me?!

*Click**Click**Click**Click*

I kept moving my fingers, trying to find a solution, but this damn red buzzer is annoying me!

"Hey, System! You better reply-"

[We have been detected.]

Ah, there it is.

That mf finally decided to reply.

But, that's not important right now.

"Who exactly is this 'we' you're talking about?"

This is what is important right now.

[Me and Alex.]

Now that's serious.

I don't care about my existence or Alex's being discovered.

The ones who can do that are not strong enough to be a problem to me.

But if they can detect the system….

"Can you make out who it is?"

[I am trying.]

Sigh…

I know that this system is just an AI that works on commands, but every time I talk to it, the more alive it feels to me…

Whatever, let's focus on who it is for now.

None of the ones alive can actually harm me, after all, none of them are strong enough to detect the system.

But if it is someone who was there before my time inside the system, and they can detect the system, then it might be a problem….

[The Spirit Sovereign.]

Come again?

"Who's that?"

[Searching for information about 'Sprit Sovereign'.]

I don't recall hearing that name ever….

Not even in the history of my time.

Just how old is this person?

[Information found.]

Good!

I need to know how strong he is!

"Direct transfer!"

I ordered the information to be transferred directly to my brain. I don't want to waste time reading about that person, whoever it was.

[Proceeding with the transfer.]

Hissss….

The pain…

"Wasn't I immune to pain inside here?"

That's what it was supposed to be, at least.

[You are immune to any physical pain, but mentally and emotionally, you are not.]

"I see…"

I guessed it already.

I was just saying….

Now, let's look into the information I just received.

....................

A place, where nothing but broken stars and planets could be seen, a single heartbeat resounded.

*Ba-dump*

A single heartbeat reverberated throughout the whole area.

The sound of the heart beating caused a loud shockwave to spread out.

*Boom**Crack*

The broken planets and stars crumbled, breaking more than they already were.

"Hm…."

But then another wave of shocks spread as a hum was heard.

*Boom*

A loud boom was heard as a pair of red eyes appeared in the waste space.

Only eyes could be seen, nothing else.

The eyes kept floating in the space before the voice was heard again.

"I finally found you…."

*Crack**Crack*...

The planets continued to crumble as the voice continued.

"And I'm coming for you…."

There was no way to tell if that voice was a male or a female.

It was distorted as it resounded in every corner of the vast expanse.

*Crash**Boom*

The planets finally couldn't take any more shockwaves as all of them shattered…..

The eyes, however, remained open, as they stared ahead without even blinking.
