A surreal silence reigned in the hall, no one had an answer to her question.

Where were they? No one knew. Well, at least almost no one.

- There is... a possibility that I know where we are, do you want to hear?

After a moment of silence, Noah opened his mouth and spoke, gaining everyone's attention.

- Please. Any information, whether true or false, is useful to us.

Raiden Ei replied while the others nodded, waiting for his explanation.

Noah nodded before sitting down on the sofa next to Xia Qingyue and making himself comfortable before saying:

- So... how many of you know the term "multiverse"?

- Parallel Worlds?

Sakura asked.

To which not Noah, but Raiden Ei shook her head:

- No, parallel worlds are a branch of a separate world, full of different possibilities. The multiverse, in a sense, should be a term used to refer to a collection of different universes. In short, the theory that says that there is more than one world in this world, not that I deny that it is true.

In her world, as the Goddess of Thunder and Lightning, she was very knowledgeable in knowledge usually unknown to a normal person. Raiden Ei, despite spending most of her time in the "sculpture" striving for eternity, she was known as a Goddess for a reason.

"Like Ei said, I can call you that, right?"

Seeing her nod, he continued:

- As Ei said, there are many worlds in this... multiverse. Each world has its own set of different rules and regulations. A world where humans are normal without any form of energy or supernatural entity, a world where God walks the earth of mortals, a world where humans can gain powers sufficient to destroy the universe; these are all different worlds. The collection of these worlds or universes is called the multiverse.

- What does this have to do with our current situation?

Surprisingly, it was Xia Qingyue who asked this question.

Noah looked at her and raised an eyebrow, his dull eyes staring into her crystal clear ones. He knew this look well. It was the look of someone who had found hope, something to cling to.

"I think even after her death she still had some regrets from her previous world. Although the question is how did she die or in what time frame?" From his observations, he could tell that she still did not possess the same nobility and arrogance as the Divine Master. So there was a good chance that she was from an alternate history or parallel world of the original Against the Gods.

He reminded himself that he needed to pay more attention to her behavior, as well as Inori, since she seemed too stoic for someone who began to show emotions after meeting the ss of the Sinner's Crown.

- This is just my guess, but I think we are no longer in the same world as before.

Looking at the surprised expression on the faces of the girls, with the exception of Arturia and Eya, he added:

- The biggest possibility is that we are in a completely unfamiliar world, a world completely different from ours.

- And what is this guess based on?

Ei asked.

Noah raised his hand, showing two fingers, before saying:

- On two things; Firstly, being sent to another world was a common occurrence in my previous world, so I'm more open to the possibility.

He didn't lie. In his previous world, summoning another world was a common occurrence. After all, some such people who returned to earth were the ones who brought earth's technology to such a level. Even the supernatural side was represented by such people.

Noah met many such people in his endless life, so he was more prone to such situations.

"Although none of them were set in the world of anime or with a fictional character."

Not that he was going to tell anyone this.

- The second possibility is...

He raised his hand before a dark flame appeared on his hand, causing the others to raise their eyebrows except Inori - she was surprised to see him create flames out of nowhere.

"I don't know whether you felt it or not, but this world is filled with many different forms of energy. Some of them were present in my world, but most were not. This can only mean one thing: I am no longer in my old world.

Raiden Ei frowned and fell silent. Now that he pointed it out, she could actually feel some form of energy flowing through the air and inside her body. When she woke up, she tried to use her powers to create and control thunder and lightning, but all she got was a negative response. So she thought that she had either lost her powers or it was an afterlife where one couldn't use the powers from one's life when they were alive.

Xia Qing Yue, Arturia, Sakura also had the same thought process as Raiden Ei. The only person who was confused was Inori, as she had no idea what they were talking about. She did not understand the concept of energy or other things, since in the world where she came from, nothing like that existed except the Void.

- So this is not our previous world, huh...

Sakura muttered under her breath. Anyone could tell by the relief in her voice that she was happy to know that she was no longer in her own world.

"It looks like she had a really bad life in her previous world." Ei, Xia Qingyue and Artoria thought at the same time.

After what seems like half an hour of complete silence, Noah couldn't stand the silence for so long anymore. He thought that if no one said anything, then a certain loli might appear and declare that she would stay here, in this silence.

- Anyway.

Finally he broke the silence.

"As long as we sit, nothing will change." Let's go outside or somewhere else to look at the world from the outside. At least it's better than sitting here and just thinking about... nothing.

- Let's go outside! This place is boring.

Arturia added. Like Noah, she too felt rather uneasy about sitting there in such silence.

- Really. We should at least figure out where we are and, if we can, find something more...or better clothes

Ei added, looking at her clothes or one piece of kimono, and nothing else.

"Then I'll go and see if there are any ingredients to cook something."

Sakura added before walking into the kitchen, or at least she thought it was in that direction. Be that as it may, she will find it after exploring the place a little.

- Girls, are you coming?

Looking towards Xia Qingyue and Inori, Noah asked.

Xia Qingyue and Inori were silent for a second before they nodded and followed them out of the mansion.
