Camille's Identity - Mei'er's Flower - Mei'er's Potential - Body Languages

"What about you, Camille-san? You look different today, did something happen?"

Natsume called out to Camille

"Just like everybody else... Philip came to my room and changed my fate. He removed my condition and I feel better than ever"

"Oh! That's good!"

"Camille had a curse that forcefully clots the blood inside her because of her story. As you all may have known, she's not an ordinary human. She was a human, but that was over 600 years ago"

"What happened to her?"

"It's up to Camille if she wants to share her story... But long story short, she's the most powerful mortal present her right now, except for me, Tenshi, Ariii, and probably Braudain, unless Alucard will have a newfound power as the Vampire King and as the previous owner of Pureblood. Of course, there's also a story about the Pureblood that most of you don't know, but Alucard might receive a different power of blood..."

"..."

Alucard twitch as he became a little agitated as he guessed what Philip meant behind his words

"...?"

"..."

"..."

Clara and Corleona became confused as to why Braudain would be on the same level of the most powerful mortals in the mansion, like Philip and Tenshi. Sai was also confused because she only thought that Braudain is a powerful human general and he should be on the same level as Alucard currently

"..."

On the other hand, Braudain was trying to keep quiet as he has his eyes closed and arms crossed. He's trying to avoid the topic of his true identity, but he also knows that it will be brought up later

"Her change is also the reason why Katara is here... I met her in the past when I changed her fate..."

"Wait, you can time travel?!!"

Natsume exclaimed in surprise

"You only said you could see the future, right?"

"C'mon guys, isn't it obvious? Chibi Sai is the baby version of me. That means she came from the past and Philip took her"

"Kidnapping..."

"We were not sure... Time thingy is too hard for us"

"You mean these people didn't know you can time travel?!"

Katara abruptly turned her head at Philip. Only the people that knew that Philip could time travel didn't react too much, like Braudain, Alucard, and probably Sheena

Bari couldn't have known that Philip time travelled into the Terra Spirit World because it was still the present when he came

Sai initially thought that Philip just directly went to the Divine Realm earlier, but after telling her about Chibi Sai, she figured that he can time travel. She just ignored it for now and asked him later, so now might be the perfect time

"My time travel is not what you guys think... It's super complicated to the point that none of you could understand it. Proof is that is Katara, am I right?"

"Yes... Common sense would say that changing something in the past will affect the future, right?"

"Yes?"

"..."

"But the problem is... Of course it will affect the future, but not the present. Changing the past will have a ripple effect that will immediately change in the present and react towards the future. But that wasn't the case at all!"

"What do you mean?"

Everyone was very curious and they wanted to try and understand it

"Philip said he overthrew the Divine Council when Sai was born... So, that means the council shouldn't have existed until now. But I still remember, even millions of years after Sai's birth, that the same council still exists!"

"Was that council fixed in some way though?"

"No, I don't think so"

"Before I left the past, I tasked the Goddess of Destruction Valkarrie to rebuild the Divine Council because it's an important component for the Divine Realm, especially since like the Mother God, Grand King, Seraphims, and the Divine Conqueror would want a council, right?"

"Right..."

"So, the divine beings that is in the council should be different now since Valkarrie would've upturned the council"

"What happened by the way? Like, why did the council burned Sai's purity and divinity, which by the way, makes me furious!! They shouldn't be doing that... But you said you took care of it and tasked Valkarrie, so I guess it's okay now..."

Katara forgot to ask why Philip overthrew the council in the first place, other than the fact that they burned Sai's purity and divinity

"The council is fake, except for Fyusi and Apoy because they are being blackmailed. The God of Time, God of Death, God of Space, and God of Life are fakes being controlled as puppet by the God of Puppets with the help of the God of Mischief, God of Dominance, and God of Void... Their intentions are unknown, but after all those years, Valkarrie might jave discovered it"

"Sounds like a typical bunch of evil sounding gods doing evil deeds?"

Natsume commented

"Those gods... I wonder if they were the next generations. Last time I remember those children were young and innocent... I can't believe their descendants would do such a thing..."

"There might be a higher being that's controlling them, like it's their leader, you know?"

"Yeah... So, you think Valkarrie might have investigated that also?"

"Probably, we might not know unless we talk to her... Anyways, that was the case. The past was changed, but the present wasn't changed, but it will affect the future because the change in the past was realized in the present"

"..."

"But that's not all that happens when I time travel... There's something even more complicated that happens. Would you guys like to know?"

"Yes!"

"..."

"Why not"

"It's basically timelines intersecting with each other as every timelines converge and diverge into millions and billions of possibilities while every timelines cross, connect, overlap each other around me in a 3-dimensional plane--"

Philip continued explaining everything that he knows about the Fate Timeline as he waved his hands in the air, trying to draw the timelines as far as he could remember

"---"

"---"

Everyone was just listening to Philip, not understanding a word that he was saying, literally. It's like he's speaking a very different language and gibberish at the same time. Their brains were fried because they couldn't comprehend the level of time that Philip could perceive, even the gods, Alucard's [Blood Eyes of Truth], Braudain, Satou, Camille, and Sumpaka inside Katara

"So, that's how it works... Kinda? I don't know if I explained properly"

"We didn't understand a thing you said... You were talking like a baby or something"

Katara was slightly annoyed

"I did???"

"Yeah! Did you do that on purpose?!"

"No?! I was genuinely explaining it the best the I can!"

"Right... We didn't understand shit"

"..."

"..."

Philip slowly turned his head towards the others and they just nodded, even Alucard

"Whaaat?"

Philip became incredibly confused

"Well, whatever. If you really don't want us to know about it, it's fine..."

"..."

Philip just kept quite while trying to figure out what happened

「 ... 」

'Emily, what happened?'

「 All beings in this universe are three dimensional beings... Everything is within three dimensions... But if a being or a concept transcends time in correlation to space, they are four dimensional... 」

'Wait, if that's the case...'

"So, anyways... What happened to Camille after you changed her fate?"

Sai interrupted Philip's thoughts and his conversation with Emily was cut off

"She became a witch... An apprentice of a being that shouldn't be named for now... The Witch of Second Coming"

"Second Coming?"

"I'm not too sure myself. Only Camille knows herself. In fact, I don't even know if she's on the level of you, gods, even as a mortal because of her power"

"Eh... That goes for you too, right? Though, you can now be considered as a god or half-god because you're still born as a human after all"

Katara commented

"So, that's a given. Though, I would personally like to know what the Witch of Second Coming means. Witches can be the most powerful beings in the universe depending on their aspect, mastery, and expertise... The title of Second Coming is a pretty intense title"

"Alright..."

Camille agreed to what Katara wants. Though, she told them that she'll tell them when the time comes

"By the way, it's good that Mei-chan has woken up after she's been sleeping for six months, the same as Philip-san"

Natsume shifter the topic towards Mei'er

"Oh yeah... We thought that it has to do something with the crystallized flower that's been hovering above her this entire time, right?"

"Hm..."

Katara narrowed her eyes as she looked at Mei'er

"What is her name again?"

"Mei'er, Mei'er Hua"

Bari answered

"I don't sense any curse in her nor I remember invoking any curses on her... I think this is more of a condition rather than a curse, disease, or flaw. It is as little Natsume here said, it's caused by that Crystal Flower"

Katara pointed at the floating Crystal Flower on top of Mei'er's head

"L-little Natsume??"

"So, it's like my Reverse Sword condition that the Sword God places on me back then"

"..."

Natsume blushed after being called little Natsume by a god and Jude commented about conditions, including the condition he used to have before Philip removed it. Ken was only silent after he heard Jude

Jude's a Sword Saint now after all, he has to respect him and nurture him

"Spirit King of Flowers Bari, do you know anything about your daughters condition?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I don't know... This Crystal Flower, it's different from everything, but I could feel that it's still a flower. It is not a byproduct of pollination and the birth of a flower..."

"That's interesting... Any idea, Philip?"

Katara turned towards Philip

"To be honest, I don't know myself..."

"Ho? You don't know?!"

"Yes. Before going to the military base for a joint expedition, she obtained the Crystal Flower after trying to create a Mana Ball from her power. After that, she spoke and saw her mother, which is you Bari, then she fell asleep. All I know is that she woke up or showed signs of waking up at the same time that I woke up after six months"

"Did you try to find out about it?"

"Yeah, the reason her mother and little sister, Bari and Marielle, are here is because I tried changing Mei'er's fate... That lead me to them and I decided to bring Bari ane Marielle back to reunite them with Mei'er. In doing so, they may also be able to do something with her condition, but it looks like you don't have any idea, Bari?"

"Unfortunately no..."

Bari was biting the corner of her lips as she feels helpless that she can't do anything to help her daughter Mei'er. It feels like the situation with Marielle all over again

Deep down within her, she's hoping for Philip to save Mei'er too, but she knows she can't do that because it will dictate her incompetence not as the Spirit King of Flowers, but as a mother

Philip read Bari's body language. Personally, he would like to help Mei'er like how he helped Marielle, but this time, he feels like he needs Bari to help Mei'er this time

There are several reasons for that, like there was no consolidation of relationship and essence from saving Marielle. Helping Mei'er only be Bari herself will unlock several potentials and conditions that will help them in the long run

Sometimes, it's better to allow people to make a character development themselves rather than giving them a helping hand. In that way, the change will be greater and mote potent

'...'

「 Bari is a spirit... You're reading her body language somehow and her movements should be different from humans... Since you're able to read anyone's body language anyways... 」

'...'

"So, you don't have anything that could help the little girl?"

Katara asked Philip directly

"I do... But I think I would help her in the future"

"Why not now?"

"That Crystal Flower is very mysterious... I think someone has to figure it out first before me"

"Ah!"

"Mm"

"...?"

Sai and Katara understood Philip's words while the others are confused

"By the way, if I remember correctly... Mei'er woke up when one of the Mana Avatars invaded the mansion. The Crystal Flower glowed when she erected a flower that shoots beams"

"Really?!"

"Interesting"

"..."

Philip and Katara were curious and interested at what Mei'er made while Bari is slightly surprised and confused by the fact that Mei'er was able to grow a flower. She's just interested at what the flower looks like and identify it

"So, if I'm hearing this right... Little Mei'er is a powerful being and have high potential?"

Katara asked generally everyone

"Yeah, I could see that that's the case. She has a lot of potential, if and only if she could control her power... I can see it"

Philip gazed in front of him like he's looking in distance. His eyes glowed slightly blue from his [Future Vision] ability
