Return Home - Temporary Roommates - Going Back to Sleep - Dream Vision

Philip and Sai landed on the roof of the mansion and they looked at each other to talk about the residents of Saykrandae that Philip saved

"Why did you save these three anyways?"

"They should be five. One vanished and the other turned into this Heroic Spirit. I have my reasons for saving them and it involves my Fate Control"

Sai's eyes widened from the hidden meaning behind Philip's words

"Yes, even though I accidentally destroyed your world by giving Polem hope and immolating herself along with the world, and making a large asteroid bombard into the planet, I saved three of your people as compensation"

Sai looked at the mortals, her people, that worshipped and had faith on her

"Before we even went to your world, I already knew that Saykrandae will meet its inevitable end that even I cannot change its Fate. It was too late and it was hard that I only managed to lightly tug the string of Fate"

"..."

"I saved these three people because I have my own reasons and so that there are people left that still believes in you. As long as a mortal worships you as a Goddess, you won't lose your status, right?"

"..."

"Now that you have lost your world, you're currently adopted here on Earth. You can't even return to the Divine Realm because of Alucard. So, I want you to do something for me..."

"..."

Sai has been speechless this entire time. Philip kept surprising her that even Sai is surprised by his unpredictability and mysteriousness

"Take them with you and make them your temporary roommates. Take care of them as their loving Goddess. I want you to become their bridge in adjusting to this world. You have learned quite a lot for the past four years, right? I want them to live in the mansion"

"..."

Sai could only nod. She doesn't understand why Philip is doing this and what his purpose and goal. She could only feel authority coming from Philip and she couldn't refuse. She feels as if what Philip was saying as meaning and purpose that she's ultimately unaware of

Philip then jumped down tochis balcony and left Sai on the roof. He entered his room and quietly tip toed across the floor to not disturb everyone's sleep

He placed Polem's Heroic Spirit and Viz's Diamond Crystal on the office table, next to Anonymous' broken smartphone, Gear and Axle Orb, Mana Cores and Stones, Stone Briefcase, Holy Wooden Stake, MM-5 Proto-Mk I, Oriental Sword, Unattributed Magic Staff, and the bookbinded research papers

Philip has collected a lot of bizarre and fantastical items after the transition of Mysticism Age

Using his athletic skills that he received after reforming his body, he quietly and stealthily slipped through the gap between Justine and Natsume so he could lie down

He then looked at the ceiling and reminisced everything that just happened for the past three hours, or rather, three months, particularly the supernova and his explanation to Sai

His explanation to Sai regarding about the residents of Saykrandae being saved and brought here were half a lie

It was a lie because the reason that Philip saved them wasn't because it's for Sai and her status, the actual reason is that he doesn't know

He just aimlessly followed the Fate Timeline and saved them just for convenience. Besides, Fate may have something in store for them and him just by saving them

Philip made up the reason because he doesn't want Sai to feel bad that her world is no more and that there are still people that were saved and will still worship her

It was also not lie because, according to Philip's logic, it makes sense that if a single person in Saykrandae still has their faith in Sai, she will maintain her power and status as the Goddess. Philip couldn't afford Sai losing her status

It was just a stroke of luck that the evidences, logic, and happenings correlate to each other that it doesn't seem coincidental or made up

This is either the work of Fate or Philip's natural luck. But lately, Philip seemed to have been awfully lucky as of late and he's getting away with it

No one notices it anyway, even himself nor the Embodiment of Good Luck if he saw Philip again

Regarding the supernova, black hole, and his emotional shift back in that planetary system, that event made a huge impact on Philip, his perspective in the universe and reality slightly change

Of course, there is the concept of end and nothingness, but what made the biggest impact to him is the black hole

For the first time in human history, Philip is the first human on Earth that witnessed a black hole from up close. Because of this, Philip's brain overworked itself to analyze the black hole. His Extreme Self-awareness also activated, as well as his Dimensionality Formulation

When he looked at the black hole with his Dimensionality Formulation + Eye of Sai, he couldn't measure the dimensions and scalar value of the black hole

This is because the black hole is actually eating, not only light, but the information that is going to the black hole. That's why the black hole looked entirely black because information is not being registered in the brain. The fact that he can see the shape of the black hole is because of the reflection of light from the matter surrounding it, and the particles that are between Philip and the black hole

This also may be because of Dark Matter and Dark Energy, the unprocessed, primordial form of Mana and Magic

This is impactful to Philip because of the fact that black holes are one of the mysterious objects of the universe. No beings know the true essence of the black hole than divine and higher beings and they only know it as some kind of trash can. Even Sai doesn't dare to come extremely close to one

But for Philip, he believed that black holes are a key to unlocking the secrets of the universe itself, particularly the Singularity located at the infinite core of black holes

For now, he would set aside the thought of black holes until he is able to go near one in the future, if that will ever happen

He just know that seeing a black hole made a change inside of him and it's not in a positive way

He ignored it anyways and he'll deal with it eventually. He closed his eyes and decided to sleep

He scooched closer to Justine to feel her warmth and touch. But he also felt Natsume scooching over next to Philip

'Has she been awake this entire time?!'

Philip exclaimed in his mind with surprise. This could only mean that since Philip left, Natsume has been awake ever since and waited for him until he came back

Philip felt bad for making Natsume wait this long even though she's very sleepy. He also felt guilty because this just shows how serious Natsume is to Philip. He also somewhat felt happy that Natsume liked him for who he is, which he thinks that he's a person full of flaws and failure

Philip wanted to thank Natsume and compensate her for him not recognizing her feelings

He slipped his left hand through the gap next to her neck, to which Natsume lifted her head, as if she's doing it while asleep, and letting Natsume use his left arm as her pillow. He then wrapped her left arm and hand to her waist. Natsume then cam closer and burried her head on his shoulder

Natsume couldn't believe what was happening. Philip initiated that they cuddle, to which she gladly accepted. She hid her face that is entirely red and hot while her eyes is asleep. She thought that Philip thinks that she's asleep and she doesn't want him to know that she's awake

It's too late for that anyways

Philip then looked to his right. He kissed the back of Justine's head

Meanwhile, Justine's appearance is still the same since three hours ago. Open eyes, dead eyes, and blue smoke flowing at the corner of her eye. Philip also didn't realize that Justine's hair is faintly glowing because he thought it was from the moonlight

~~~

After Sai was left on the rooftop, she looked at Corleona, Clara, and Braudain with sympathizing eyes. She thought of what Philip told her regarding these residents of Saykrandae

For the second time since she has been on Earth, around Philip, her heart thumped and beated rapidly. She is experiencing the emotion of a mortal once more, first from Alucard, then towards these three individuals

She then smiled for the first time in a long time. Her smile brightened the surroundings, despite nobody witnessing her smile. Her smile is so beautiful that any man would fall for her

This is the reason why she doesn't smile because she would receive false faith. She's not the Goddess of Beauty after all and she's only a World Goddess

She then immediately lowered her lips to stop herself from smiling. She was smiling because the feeling of love is such a blissful feeling to her that she wanted to condemn it since it might distract her

"Human emotions are truly dangerous, but commendable. It's not too bad"

Sai smirked as she began to fly. Her appearance from when she was in Saykrandae was being undone

From her true appearance that looked like a bride maiden hidden in a veil with large reddish horns, she returned back to looking like a 15-year old girl that's wear a balck sports bra, white crop top, short shorts, brown sandals and a few bracelets. Her horns shrunk in size and can be seen behind her ears. Her violet eyes remained and her black hair waved from the wind

She flew towards Alucard's room, into the balcony and entered. Alucard's large window is always open to let the cool night breeze enter his room

With a single whoosh of the wind, Sai carried the three individuals with her Divine Energy. The Sacred Mana has already dissipated and scattered into the air, particularly only around the mansion as Sai saw it

She placed Corleona and Clara on the large master bed in Alucard's room and placed Braudain leaning against a wall. She didn't felt comfortable with a middle-aged man sleeping with two girls in one bed

After she placed the three individuals into their bed, she looked for Alucard in the room and saw him sitting on the single couch from his usual bed in the large coffin-shaped bed. Alucard waited for Sai to come home

Sai floated in front of Alucard and looked at him as she placed her face closer. Alucard had his eyes closed and he was sleeping. His eyelashes glimmer from the moonlight, his pale skin shines with white color, his lips is moist, and his silver-white hair shines under the moonlight

Sai was entranced by Alucard once more and she couldn't help but kiss him on the forehead. She then turned her back around and floated down to his lap to sit

She leaned her back on Alucard's body and looked up. She made herself comfortable and closed her eyes as she decided to sleep with Alucard in a romantic position

~~~

While Philip was sleeping, he entered the Dream Realm and began to randomly dream about random stuff

From the black world that he's in, the surroundings started to fade in and become white. He saw himself walking through a white, grayish world with water as the floor

It was then that a wall formed in front of him in sections upon sections. The wall expands towards the horizon from the left and right, blocking Philip completely. The wall then opened its interior and revealed books upon books that stretched towards the horizon

Philip grabbed the book in front of him and opened it. He flipped through the pages and he saw nothing. The book is completely empty, except that there are page numbers for every pages, even though the contents are empty. The pages are also yellow colored than white

Philip looked back in front of him to where he grabbed the book, only to see that there is no empty space that the book on his hand is supposed to go

All of the books then trembled and shook. The giant wall of books tilted and fell towards Philip in less than a second

Philip was surprised and he was smashed by the wall of books. As he was pushed down by the wall, he fell through the floor and into a transparent white sea

The wall of books disappeared and he is alone in a vast underwater area where he couldn't see the surface nor the deepness of the ocean

He could breath in the water and he is in a suspended animation of falling down, until a force started to forcefully pull him down

His speed picked up until his orientation reversed and shifted as he reached the surface. After he reached the surface, he was met by a flower field. The vast ocean and water disappeared and he could only see millions of flowers towards the horizon

He is in the middle of a flower paradise. He stood up and walked a few meters. He could see flowers that he has never seen before and giant flowers that looked like skyscrapers. There are also levitating and flying flowers in the air

He walked for a few minutes until he saw a person in a distance. The person had a a witch hat adorned with several flowers and a white dress that's also adorned with small flowers. The person is carrying a bouquet of flowers through the fields. The person is a girl with long black hair and bright yellow eyes. The person smiles with satisfaction and longing in her eyes

The person stopped on her steps and turned her head towards Philip. Her eyes widened with surprise after seeing him

But rather than the person running away from a stranger, the person extended her arms, lending the bouquet of flowers towards Philip with a bright smile. The person was beautiful and attractive that Philip could look at her for hours

But Philip's eyebrows furrowed from confusion until he blinked and the person disappeared from his vision. The skies darkened and the flowers fluttered from the bustling wind

The petals of the flowers were torn and flew into the sky. The petals were razor sharp and countless blades fell from the sky accompanied by red colored rain

The petals then transformed into blades and flew towards Philip in fast speeds. The blades cut his skin apart and made him bled. The storm of blades kept going for a little while until the surroundings rumbled

Philip fell backwards until he sat on a very comfortable chair. The surroundings also changed into a cabin with a fireplace, bookshelves, coffee table, carpet, and wooden floor, walls, and ceiling. It's as if he was inside a cabin or the place where people sit and relax during night time

Philip looked at his body and the injuries caused by the blades were healed, as if the wounds wasn't there in the first place. He then looked at the middle of the coffee table because something caught his eye

At the middle of the table, a red colored orb that emanates a red aura is sitting on a maroon colored pillow. The air around the orb seemed to condesate and create clouds. There are also pieces of metal around the orb and gold is the most abundant of the bunch

He then looked above the fireplace where there is a framed picture. The picture is a written certificate and the text is written in cursive

[Grand Art]

The surroundings changed once more after Philip read the text in his mind. He was suddenly in space, between the moon and Earth

Philip looked at the moon and it was rotating extremely fast, faster than usual. It's as if the moon became a spinning top

The moon then suddenly bursted into flames with multiple varying colors

The moon slowly moved into Earth and it intends to crash on Earth like a fireball

It was then that there was a golden colored meteor fly towards the moon, went around the moon, then before crashing on Earth, the meteor flashed with a blinding yellow light and the surroundings changed

Philip returned back to a world of white as far as the eye could see. It was then that he heard a mind boggling voice in a distance

"This universe... Something is very wrong with it. Time and space? It's limited... There's something bigger out there"

Philip didn't understand what the voice said but his body and soul understood it

"I need to destroy my creation as they don't understand life and death. They can't even differentiate the concept of good and evil. They only serve their purpose and follow their Fates aimlessly!"

"The Möbius Strip has been discovered by the humans on Earth in Quadrant 4 of the universe. Should I interfere? No, that line of strip means nothing. They could only find so much about it, nothing more"

"Huh?! The Möbius Trinity just manifested in this universe?! This is bad... Looks like I need to interfere after all..."

"This Möbius Collapsoid shall do the-"

"Wait, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Philip was alarmed. The voice was directed at him and he felt incomparable fear like never before. He then saw a faint blurry humanoid silhouette appear in the distance

"You're not supposed to be here! What are you???"

"This is an anomaly... Seems like I need to change my plans"

"What? I should let him be?"

"That's odd... But I guess it's fine"

"Interesting, you went out of your way to tell me this?"

"Seeing him out here means that he is the Chosen One, isn't he?"

"Oh? You can't answer that? Then, I already received my answer..."

"Very well then..."

The same voice echoed and echoed in Philip's soul. He kept trembling until the voice said its last words and waved its hand

"Then get out of here! You're too early to be here! Maybe I'll see you in the near future that the Möbius Trinity has manifested. By then, we'll see what we can do"

The surrounding suddenly shattered and rumble. The space broke in pieces and fell like glass. Philip found himself back on Earth, particularly in the backyard of the mansion

He looked behind him and saw that the mansion is covered in a very think veil of blue energy. The sky is also extremely blue, different from the ordinary sky, where there are swirling and flowing waves like oil on water

He also saw Sai in a suspended animation, as if she has been contained by something. Alucard was sizzling under Sun, which is abnormal since he's a pureblooded vampire, and Jude was bleeding profusely like his skin was cut in a way that it seemed intentional, as if he was played or an artist took their time

Philip couldn't see Justine, the Natsu sisters, and Mei'er anywhere but he could see seven silhouettes flying everywhere, ganging up on a blue colored individual in a distance

When the silhouettes were about to overwhelm the blue guy, he exploded in a blue colored explosion, rendering everything in ruins with billions of casualties. It also gouged a tenth of Earth off the surface

What's worse is that the blue guy survived and approached Philip. He closed his eyes and the scenery changed around him

He is now in a ruined city. The skyscrapers are torn and there are large cracks on the ground that swirled towards the individual with yellow glowing hair in the middle

The sky is red and the air seemed denser. Philip looked around and saw all the residents of the mansion lying on the ground, injured, wounded, or dead. The Old Man is even bleeding and has his back on a broken wall. Even Sai had her back hunched over in the sky while she's bleeding all over her body, especially her face. The Solaris Spear also somehow was chipped and cracked

Philip then looked at his body and saw a solid sheet of white material surrounding his arms, like a gauntlet or gloves. On his shoulder, there is a red colored armor and there are deep gashes around his torso and legs which are surrounded by the white lines. His right eye is closed from being lacerated and his left golden eye was flickering

He looked at the individual with yellow glowing hair once more. The ground beneath the individual is violently swirled and spiralled out of proportion, like a whirpool of crater on solid ground

The individual also has an orbiting flames and water vapor around their body. Debris, concrete, and metal chunks are also swirling above the individual in multiple layers, like a tower

At the sky, the atmosphere is also spiralled down out of proportions that it looked like a giant wormhole, portal, or black hole

Philip went closer to the individual in the middle and the individual looked at him with beaming eyes. The area of influence of the swirl affected Philip and tore off the armor on his shoulders and arm, including his skin, muscles, and bones

Philip suffered the dream like he was in hell experiencing nightmare

But in reality, the same Sleep Paralysis Demon came back and sat above Philip's chest. it looked down on Philip's face and observed him, turning his dream into a nightmare this entire time, ever since he started dreaming. The demon wasn't fazed or afraid of the people inside of the room and only cared about Philip
