Death… And Me

2740  Leviathan World

If one thought about it, one would see there wasnʼt exactly a lot of time to train Sonzei from zero. Well, he had some techniques and got the training from the Glanvie Clan, so he wasnʼt completely hopeless.

”You are hopeless!” Roan spoke without a care.

Only Sonzei thought he wasnʼt hopeless, though... Too bad Roan was there to wake him up to reality. ”What kind of shit training have you received until now? I will need a miracle to train you to become good enough to beat a true Leviathan.”

”However, you are lucky,” Roan continued. ”This place just so happens to have the miracle you need: Time.”

Yes, the reason things seemed strange around was because Roan activated the Time Formation in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He even did that to the point time was a hundred times faster! Usually, that would come with a huge expenditure of their Divine Origin Energy Cores. However, Roan didnʼt need to keep it activated for tens of years. He only needed it activated for a year only.

”Be prepared,” Roan got closer as Dark Element began to circulate around his body, ”Iʼll get you a full year, but this is gonna be a year you will wish to forget.”

All of Sonzeiʼs instincts screamed to run. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to go.

Outside, Rean exited the Spatial Gate, appearing back where the Gate to the Leviathanʼs World appeared. Well, that was basically a Dimensional Realm, but the Leviathans liked to call it their Sacred World.

Olvris appeared right after, closing the Spatial Gate behind him. ”Letʼs go.”

Immediately, he changed into his Leviathan Form, diving into the entrance to his World. As for Rean and Kentucky, they could only do the same thing and follow.

The world blurred as the Spatial Powers brought them to the previously sealed World. Once they appeared inside, they were welcomed by a world of water. Turns out the world inside was similar to the Mirror Sea outside. There were two Seas, one below and one up, separated by a gap of a few meters.

*Pin!*

[Universe Fragment Detected.]

Following that, the confirmation Rean and Roan wanted echoed in their minds.

[New Quest Available: Recover the Universe Foundation Fragment from the Leviathanʼs Dimensional Realm.]

[Reward: 2000000 Destiny Points]

[Time: Unlimited.]

ʼTwo Million Destiny Points!ʼ Rean was ecstatic to hear that. With the Systemʼs upgrade, that value would be multiplied by three at the end. That meant Six Million guaranteed... Well, if they complete the quest, that is.

[You two should be careful,] Sister Orb warned right after. [For the reward to increase so much, it means acquiring this Fragment will be even harder.]

ʼAlright,ʼ Rean nodded and calmed down. As for Roan, he ignored everything and continued his ʼlectureʼ for Sonzei.

Olvris didnʼt know what Rean was thinking, nor did he care. ”What are you wasting time for? Come. I need to call forward a meeting.”

Olvris then shot forward through the waters of the Dimensional Realm, not giving Rean and Kentucky time to think. Rean just jumped on Kentuckyʼs back, who flapped his wings and followed Olvris.

As they flew through the two seas, Rean and Kentucky noticed that this world had many other Islands, just like outside. However, those were truly normal islands without any weird artifacts inside. Some were enormous, spamming for hundreds of kilometers. Yet, what truly caught their attention wasnʼt the Islands themselves. Instead, it was the people living in them. ”Humanoid Races...? We thought only the Leviathans lived here.”

Olvris snorted. ”Didnʼt you hear the full story? That idiot from my clan shared her bloodline with the humanoid races. Where the hell do you think they came from?”

Rean immediately remembered something. When he got the information from the Information Trading Center, it mentioned that the first Levi Tribe Members had suddenly appeared in the Mirror Sea 73000 years ago. However, only Futula was a member of the Leviathans. Naturally, the other three had to be part of the humanoid races, and they all came from this place.

”Does that mean Futula had... three partners?” Kentucky couldnʼt help but ask.

Olvrisʼs expression turned dark. Yet, he didnʼt answer nor deny Kentuckyʼs words. So... yeah, Futula had got herself three men and had a lot of... ʼexercisesʼ with them. Futula said it herself. She had a lot of descendants.

Rean didnʼt really care, though. There were races where a male had several females, so why wouldnʼt there be races where a female could have several males? It was simply fair. Itʼs just that the latter wasnʼt as common.

As they passed by these islands, all the humanoid living beings kneeled on the ground. They all paid respect to the enormous Leviathan passed above their heads. He could tell it wasnʼt something forced. Instead, it was more like some kind of faith of the people below. ”They... donʼt seem exactly oppressed.”

Olvris glanced back at Rean. ”Why would we oppress them? They do their part in maintaining the Sacred World, so they can live freely. As long as they do not break the rules, our Leviathan Race will not intervene. First of all, coming out and messing with these people would be beneath the honor of a pure Leviathan.”

”I thought you would hate them exactly because of what happened to Futula,” Kentucky added.

”Hmph! My Leviathan Race isnʼt that small-minded. We are this worldʼs gods, and we should act as such,” Olvris answered with pride.

Rean shrugged. That wasnʼt exactly bad, but it was obvious the Leviathans in this place still thought of themselves as some kind of gods. Well, at least they werenʼt bad gods. None of the people below shared in the Leviathan Bloodline. There were various different humanoid races, but they were their own. Many of them also seemed to have a deep relationship with water, obviously.

At some point, the Islands were left behind, and what appeared in front of them was a huge land more akin to a continent. Their Divine Senses, which could easily reach several thousand kilometers, couldnʼt see the end of it. Even from afar, Rean and Kentucky noticed the various Leviathans swimming in the waters up and down that giant land. Yes, this huge mass of land had the same effect as the Islands. The Seas up and below opened a gap for it to exist in the center.

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
