Chapter 61

Chapter 61

This also applies to Alaya and even KE felt he had to go there; something very important was awaiting him.

"Gaya, let us both continue dissolving the essence of truth and allow KE to leave." Gaya fell into deep thought; she was tangled. She had wanted to help KE ever since she saw him, especially since the essence of truth is a very, very rare metal, even for them as deities.

The presence of the essence of truth in this mortal world is almost incomprehensible even for them, so she feared that all their work and risk in going out to help KE might vanish.

"Gaya, don't worry, just a few minutes and I'll be back. Just wait a little," KE touched Gaya's hand to reassure her, his eyes very serious. "And you need not worry about the deities against you, for they cannot sense your energy since you haven't released it yet."

KE's words were filled with reassurance and also truth. The deities fighting against them could never find them unless they released their aura, which they never did.

KE took out half of his Etheora in a ball formed from it and made it float in front of Gaya and Alaya.

"This is my Etheora. You just need to control it and temporarily control my body to manipulate the cosmic laws." Gaya and Alaya's eyes lit up because KE's plan was simply perfect and had no loopholes, to the extent they were shocked by KE's intelligence and wisdom to come up with such a plan in a few seconds.

"Good, but make sure you come back quickly." Gaya and Alaya grabbed KE's Etheora ball and started to control his body.

As soon as KE felt he was losing control over his body, he allowed his inner space to draw his soul.

Warp!

**Seira's Inner Space**

Seira had been floating in this place for an hour, as time here differs from the real world.

A month in the inner space equals an hour in the real world. When KE was in his own inner space, which is a level higher than the inner space, it equaled a full year there and one day in the real world.

Warp!

KE's soul was pulled into Seira's inner space. The place was filled with chaos, and Etheora was simply not controlled by her.

"So, it's you, Seira J. Loyard, who pulled me in, or should I say, Death Scythe?" Seira quickly turned around like a scared cat because she was sure she was alone here and had never found anyone.

"Sorry, but who are you, and why am I here?" KE didn't reply but continued to look at her and her inner space. "Um, sorry, but can you answer?"

Seira became shy because KE was looking at her, and more importantly, he was very handsome, the most beautiful male she had seen in her life.

The current KE is a 16-year-old boy who, because of his breakthrough to the world of {Fading Time Rank Perishing Minutes World}, led to the evolution of his life level and origin, where he started to grow taller quickly, reaching a height of 190, making him taller than Raizel.

KE noticed her shyness and her beautifully red cheeks. He already knew who she was.

When he reached the world of {Fading Time Rank Perishing Minutes World}, his power, which allows him to see the future, evolved, and he gained an additional ability to use anytime he wishes, which is to know information. He can obtain information about anyone as long as they are within KE's power range.

For instance, KE couldn't see or obtain anything when he used it on Gaya and Alaya.

The reason for that is he was too weak compared to Gaya and Alaya, but he could obtain information about Seira because she was much weaker than him. Even Miyako, who is in the same world level as {Fading Time Rank Brief Moments World}, could crush her.

"So, it seems that your clan's weapon, Death Scythe, has absorbed a bit of the cosmic law of death," KE scratched his head as he analyzed the situation and saw the chaotic Etheora. "Seira, did you just break through to a higher world?"

"Uh um," Seira nodded, a bit confused. She doesn't know why but feels that he is someone she can trust with her life without even feeling worried.

"So, that's the reason. It seems that your clan's weapon, Death Scythe, has absorbed a bit of the cosmic law of death, which made you break through," Seira didn't understand much of his explanation but knew the reason for her breakthrough to a higher world was Death Scythe. "And when you broke through to a higher world, your foundation became weak, and that's why the Etheora in your inner space became chaotic."

"Sorry, sir, but I didn't understand anything," Seira apologized, prompting KE to laugh out loud because he knew she didn't grasp any of it. Thus, he began to explain to her in simpler terms.

"So, sir, you know my name, but I still don't know who you are," after several minutes of explanation, Seira understood but still didn't know KE's identity, despite him knowing hers, which made her curious if he was an acquaintance of her grandfather.

"Ha-ha-ha, I apologize, that was disrespectful of me. I am Kagayaku Eien no kami Shinomori," after KE introduced himself, Seira was silent for several minutes. Her mind was in utter chaos, her heart racing.

(Am I seriously meeting him in this place? Should I say something, or would that be disrespectful?) Seira wanted to speak but was afraid, given KE's truly intimidating presence. Every one of his strikes and the aura that covered the world was simply terrifying.

"Seira, hello? Can you hear me?" KE was trying to get Seira's attention, but she didn't respond, so he approached her and gently lifted her chin, making their eyes meet directly. "Hello, Seira, can you hear me now?"

"Y-yes, I can hear you now," Seira's entire face was red, the first time she had been touched by a male other than her father, grandfather, and younger brother. "I apologize for not responding to you."

Seira lowered her head, feeling truly shy every time she encountered KE.

"It's okay to feel nervous and anxious. What's important is how you can defeat him," KE gently patted Seira's head to make her relax. "Seira, we don't have much time here. You were fighting a demon named Doma, as you said, right?"

"Um, that's correct. I was fighting him before I was pulled here," Seira was a bit worried, but when she remembered KE's words about the time difference between her inner space and the real world, she relaxed. "Doma is strong and his power is annoying, but I can defeat him."

KE narrowed his eyes upon hearing Doma's name. Initially, he wanted to kill Doma himself, not caring even about the essence of truth. He only wanted to kill him because if he hadn't existed, Kanae would have been killed by his hands.

But, finding out that Seira was fighting him, KE realized there was someone who could do it for him while he formed his weapon.

"So, let's start now, Seira. Two minutes have passed in the real world, which means eight minutes for you, equating to four hours," KE was certain of this because of his power to see the future and his information about Doma. He was sure that the madman was now completely insane, desiring only to crush Seira.

**Seira's Battlefield**

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, keep crushing her. Yes, I want her to be a pool of blood," exactly as KE thought, the madman had become a lunatic.

**Seira's Inner Space**

"Let's begin now to develop your techniques and the Etheora refining technique, which I already have one suitable for you," KE hugged Seira and gently pressed his forehead against hers to transfer the information. Of course, he could transfer it in other ways, but why would he? He is a man, an emperor, desiring a vast harem, of course, he wanted her for himself.

Initially, Seira was shy and shocked by KE's action, but she quickly understood why as soon as the information began to flow, including combat techniques with the cosmic law of death through Death Scythe.

Only seconds passed before the process stopped because Seira was very strong and her life level was higher than humans, so adding information to her was trivial. However, KE still held her.

Seira wanted to remind him to stop, but for some reason, she just wanted to stay like that for a few more moments. KE noticed her rapid heartbeat but didn't mind since she didn't reject him, indicating she had some feelings for him.

Of course, Seira hadn't fallen for him that quickly, but she was impressed, whether by his beauty, the strength he had shown, his wisdom, or his talent.

KE lifted her face by her chin, drawing his face close. Seira's mind at that moment was clear, with only two thoughts: accept or reject.

"Okay, let's stop here. I need to prepare you for battle," KE felt he had rushed a bit and didn't want to scare her, as he wasn't in a huge rush to win her heart. "Come on, Seira, stand in your fighting stance."

KE moved back a hundred meters from Seira, who was still stunned by his sudden stop. She felt an emptiness in her heart from his withdrawal but shook off all peculiar thoughts as soon as she heard his command, shook her head to clear any strange thoughts, and lifted Death Scythe.

"Alright, Seira, focus on the essence of your technique and how it merges with the Etheora energy. Your weapon, Death Scythe, is more than just a tool; it's a part of you, an extension of your will and power," KE instructed from a distance, his voice firm yet encouraging.

Seira, taking a deep breath, focused on the Etheora floating chaotically around her. She visualized it calming down, becoming more orderly under her intent. As she did so, the chaotic energy began to coalesce, forming a more stable pattern that orbited around her and Death Scythe, showing the first signs of harmony between her and the Etheora.

"Now, let's harness that energy. Imagine it as a thread, weaving through the fabric of the universe, guided by Death Scythe. Your goal is to refine it, to make it part of your being, enhancing your strength and allowing you to manipulate the cosmic laws more effectively," KE continued, observing her progress with a keen eye.

Seira concentrated, her brows furrowed in concentration. The energy around her began to shimmer with a new light, signifying her growing control. She could feel the power coursing through her, a sensation both exhilarating and terrifying. The Etheora seemed to resonate with her innermost being, transforming her on a fundamental level.

As minutes passed, KE could see the significant change in Seira. Her stance became more confident, her aura more powerful. The chaotic Etheora energy was now a swirling vortex around her, a testament to her newfound control and understanding.

"Excellent, Seira. You're adapting well. This is just the beginning. With this foundation, you can develop new techniques and strategies, pushing your limits further than ever before," KE praised, genuinely impressed by her quick adaptation and growth.

Seira opened her eyes, which now sparkled with a newfound determination and strength. She looked at KE, a mix of gratitude and resolve in her gaze.

"Thank you, KE. I… I feel different, stronger. I understand now, how to move forward, to fight not just with strength, but with understanding and control over the Etheora," Seira said, her voice steady and full of newfound confidence.

KE nodded, pleased with her progress. "Remember, the path of a warrior is endless. Today's breakthrough is tomorrow's foundation. Keep pushing, keep evolving, and never settle. Now, let's return to your battlefield. You have a demon to defeat, and with your new strength and understanding, I have no doubt you'll emerge victorious."

With a final nod of encouragement, KE prepared to send Seira back to her battlefield. The connection between their minds began to fade as Seira braced herself, ready to confront Doma with her enhanced abilities and insights.

As the warp effect began to envelop her, Seira felt a surge of energy and determination. She was no longer the same fighter who had been pulled into her inner space; she was stronger, wiser, and ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with the might of the Etheora and the guidance of KE.
