126 Fear...
[?'s side]
A large flower bloomed in the open sea. It was a sort of ship that worked with magic… God knows how it works, the flower is drifting on its own fragrance instead of water. And over that flower, there were Chlammy and Fiel Nirvalen.
Chlammy: Fii? Just how much longer it looks like it will take?
Fiel: Hm… With this progress… it seems it'll take more than half a month.
Chlammy: Ugh… even though it's a distance that normally wouldn't take even an entire day to reach…
Fiel: It's a Flower Vessel, you know? It took time to both gather them and make them move.
Chlammy sighed and looked forward. While『』was doing… Their things, Chlammy and Fiel slowly but surely piled the collapse of Elven Garde. She tricked the greatest marine trade port in the Elven territory, changed the leaders and silently attacked them, she even took the majority's votes.
Everything for this moment.
For this timing when those three were challenging the Old Deus.
Chlammy: ...If we don't make it in time, it'll all go down the drain… If that happens, then everything will…
Fiel: It'll be too late for anything… I understand that, Chlammy…
Then Fiel hugged Chlammy, who seemed under a heavy stress.
Chlammy: ...Fii, can you see what those three are doing right now?
Fiel: Yes I can. Obviously, I can see it!
Fiel's irises and the gem on her forehead glowed faintly, her tone of voice and smile spoke of her extremely natural, yet, arrogant confidence.
However..
Fiel: I "see" only two of them… But I don't understand what they are doing.
Chlammy: ...Huh? What does that mean?
Fiel: The siblings are stabbing a horse with a rod… Ah, they found a stray dog… Now they're running while crying.
Chlammy: ......….Really, those guys, just what the hell are they doing? And what about Xiao Qiangwei?
Fiel: I can't find him anywhere… Oh, here he is...Ugh.
She kneeled down and almost puked, Chlammy panicked and reached for her.
Chlammy: Fii! What happened?!
Fiel: ...He found me immediately… And forcefully split in two the link, this is just the aftereffects of forcefully blocking one's magic like that, but it shouldn't be that bad… Not for normal people…
Chlammi: ...Then… He already became that strong, huh?
[Meanwhile/4 minutes after the game started]
Xiao Qiangwei threw all of his dices and the number that came out was 60 since he played alone, in less than 5 minutes, he already reached the 60th square and looked at the billboard with a blank gaze, which had the task he needed to complete.
"Rip off your genital and leave from this world"
Xiao Qiangwei: …
He laid his hand on the billboard and used his Immortal Senses to find the one who wrote it… Ino.
Meanwhile, in an unknown square, there was an adult werebeast covered in red smoke, probably he activated Blood Devastation… However, he was over a branch of a tree while trembling like a leaf.
Ino: ...Why do I feel as if an Old Deus is aiming for my life…? Is… Is there something wrong with the game master…?
Back at Xiao Qiangwei, during the interval where the point of view changed, already captured a bear…? Is a three-headed bear with a snake lower body still a bear?
After he checked if it was male or female, he ripped off its genitalia barehanded, and let the beast die. The rules never said anything about a precise target, so he just picked the nearest beast and let that one receive the punishment.
Pity? Fuck that, he lost it before he reincarnated.
Guilt? What's that?
Revenge? What Tet will do about it? The moment that the original Xiao Qiangwei comes out, he will not be bounded from the rules that Tet established, he could even break one or two legs of Ino, maybe the third one too.
"Task Accomplished"
Then another Dice appeared on Xiao Qiangwei's chest, making it back to 10 dices. About the dices, apparently since he was created literally less than 2 days ago, the dices will be worth only 10% of that time for each, good to know.
He didn't want to lose his cultivation just because his body regressed. Now he threw again his 10 dices, another 60 came out. He used his Immortal Senses to check the entire game board, Sora, Shiro and Steph were still at the 1st Square (AN: Think that only 5 minutes passed since the game started in Xiao Qiangwei's point of view).
Izuna and Ino were almost at the 2nd square, while Plum was at the 5th and Jibril was… She was quite near, just 5 squares behind Xiao Qiangwei, should he wait…? Nah, she can take care of herself.
[5 minutes ago/Jibril's side]
The game started, and so Jibril rolled her dices for the very first time… After a number came out, one dice disappeared.
…
On Jibril's face, there was a puzzled expression, she casually placed an hand on her cheek and tilted her head.
Jibril: ...Huh? Where is this place? 'Where is this? Why am I here?'
Using her senses, she was able to see the ones that were advancing in this land.
Jibril: One eyesore of a Dhampir bug, two beasts that dare to walk on two legs… and even lower than those, three human worms… And… A walking dimensional distortion?
Due to Xiao Qiangwei being a 5th dimensional being, and since she wasn't linked to him anymore, she can't use her senses to see him directly, just an empty space.
Jibril: Well, I don't really understand, but if I ask someone, I'll probably get a good explanation… Let's just kill the cause of this. After all, it looks like this isn't my own fault, right?
She spread her wings and activated Teleportation… But teleportation is still a type of movement, and since she can't access an higher dimension for travelling between two places, if there is a barrier…
Jibril: Oof!
She crashed against a barrier… After some time, she finally fell to the ground with a large bump on her head.
Jibril: Fu… fufu… To surround me with a spatial rupture… fufufufu.
>AFTER MANY HEAVEN'S SMITE AND SPATIAL DESTRUCTION MAGIC LATER…
Jibril: ...Haa… ha… I'll let you go for now…
She finally abandoned the idea of trying to destroy the barrier when she saw that there was an Old Deus at the destination of everyone. She also noticed that the dimensional distortion is clearly a person if it needs to abide at the Pledges, however she couldn't sense anything about it except for literally nothing.
Jibril: 'I need to be careful with that thing…'
A dimensional distortion was no joke if it had intelligence, it is as if Avant Heim suddenly decided to kick away the Flugels from its body.
So she just stepped on the barrier with displeasure, and soon, she reached the 43th Square.
"Make a vessel containing 4 liters of water before the magma swallows you up".
A haughty voice echoed around, and in front of her, there was a fountain with 2 vessels labeled 5L and 3L respectively. And suddenly, a looming magma wave as big as a tsunami appeared from the front.
However, she wasn't in a good mood so she created a vessel for 4L and threw all the moisture in the earth and atmosphere, including the water in the fountain against the magma.
Steam came out and rain poured down on the container she made, filling it up. Jibril made a joyful face for her own perfect answer.
"Task accomplished"
Suddenly, a dice appeared near her chest, making it 10 in total, in that moment, she looked at it with a puzzled face and…
Jibril fell on her knees and hugged herself while she was trembling.
Jibril: ...What is… happening…?
Memories flooded back on her mind, the questions she had beforehand were already answered, and fear invaded her body.
Jibril: ...Let's calm, down… and think…
Rule n.1: The eight participants shall be granted their own "Mass Existence Time" divided proportionally into 10 "Dices".
Due to that, only the body would affected, however, due to her master's avatar not having a soul, he will die for real if he reaches 0, but he is just an avatar, so the original isn't affected.
In short, they put their bodies in the betting table, Jibril had something in mind and used her senses to check on everyone, even if their dices decreased, they didn't had any problem.
Because they were "Living Beings", not "Life". And since Jibril was part of the "Life", she doesn't have a clear boundary between her soul and her body. So she would not just regress on age, but her entire existence was regressed to 604,7 years before the present, a time where she never encountered her master. (AN: Her age is 6047 years)
Jibril: Aaah… This is…
With trembling hands and chattering teeth, she took out her diary and started to write fiercely, she wrote down her memories about those advancing on the board, who she regarded as inferior animals just a moment ago.
But mostly importantly, she wrote down the memories that made them important to her…
[Hatsuse Ino] Werebeast - Male - Can be looked down upon in normal operations - gross
[Plum Stalker] Dhampir - Not interested in separations by gender - it is ok to consider him a mosquito
[Hatsuse Izuna] Werebeast - Female - Object of affection of the Imanity Sora and Shiro - Extremely cute
[Stephanie Dola] Imanity - Red haired female - I call her Dola - Servant of Sora, Shiro and Xiao Qiangwei - Is in love with Sora, but keeps denying it - 89, 58, 89(AN: Her true sizes *Thumbs up*) - Kindhearted and emotional
[Sora] Black haired Imanity - Male - friend with my new master - Shiro's sibling - comes from a different universe(AN: When she loses memory, she doesn't understand the real concept of "Universe" and "Dimension") - Virgin - Lazy - Can't be separated from Shiro - arrogant, manipulative, cunning, carefree. - part of『』- considerably important person
[Shiro] White-haired Imanity - Female - friend with my new master - Sora's sibling - comes from a different universe - Virgin - Lazy - Can't be separated from Sora - Quiet - Intellect comparable to a Flugel - secretly sadistic - talks in short and terse sentences - part of『』
And then the most descriptive one...
[Xiao Qiangwei] Platinum blonde haired Immortal Imanity - Male - Body: 28 years old - Soul: 61 years old - Reincarnated - Reached Godhood - 5th Dimensional Being - Stronger than every Old Deus put together - currently the avatar of the original Xiao Qiangwei, who is being even stronger - 6'2 tall - theory on his power: can easily destroy Disboard - 9 inches long - Lover - My new Master - Previously was a being capable of swallow universes without even trying - His teacher is a being beyond any imagination, unsurmountable. - My first time - Comes from a different universe - part of『』- Battle maniac, somewhat romantic, caring about people near him, extremely prideful about his status….
And after a long description, in a shaky handwriting…
"The answer I've always been looking for, since I was born…"
Jibril: ...I see… so this is… "Fear"... huh?
She finally experienced that feeling in its truest form, so she recorded all of her experiences, without leaving anything out, and without adding anything either, in her diary… Since she first met with Xiao Qiangwei all the way to now.
So that even if her memories are gone, she should be able to remember by reading her diary…
Then, with a trembling hand, she threw the dices again...
