Stones and boulders were still scattered everywhere as Zack gaves a hand to Leon to get him up. While Sara and Misha who were behind the massive boulders, were getting Ruis up.
"Damn it's hurts."
Ruis said with pain expression while Sara and Misha who had grabbed him from his one shoulder. Slowly walking and then sitting him onto a slab. As Ruis leaned to slab.
"What was the need for all this?."
Misha wiped sweat streaming from her forehead. As Sara sat beside Ruis.
"Well.. As you can see. I got no choice. I had to fought; otherwise you would saw my deased body."
A blue light beam began to emerged from his chest. Then his wounds began to shine. Then it dim and dim while Sara and Misha looked at him with amazement. Within few seconds he was fully healed now. With his clothes.
"Well.. I do expect this.."
Ruis adjust himself as he gets up. His back who was in intense pain moments ago. Now was in relived as he stretched his back.
~ Damn.. This feels so good.
As they heard fire streaming from front. Getting altered with that they saw a hole in the chunks of boulders. Leon was sitting on stone as Ender saw Zack melting the rocks with his hand. His eyes reflecting the fire burning and melting the rocks. Zack had slightly extended his hand enough as fire was burning on his hand without burning it and his clothes.
"Yoo. You good?"
Zack went towards him and stamped on his shoulder. With his usual smirked.
"Yeah fine enough.."
Ruis spoke with a sigh. As Ender came towards them. Suddenly he made a fist and clashed it towards him only for him to stopped it with it's palm.
"Yeah you're fine now."
He said with a grin, his fist still intact with his palm as Ruis laughed heartily. With that they all started laughing.
"Well.. Everyone I think you should see if now."
Leon spoke firmly enough for their attention to drawn over him. Then in a instant; behind them was a wall. A green wall like of matrix. Everyone was confused. Not knowing what was happening or what will happen later?.
As the wall started to move towards them. Sara stepped back reflexively. Ruis was about to go out, his aura emitting. Zack had a blank face as if he was tired of everything as Ender looked at him and he looked at him.
~ You seeing this.. Is this supposed to be tuff?.
He telepathy said to him.
"Don't move."
Leon said to them with a smile. None of them turned back at him. As the wall was now infront of Ruis. It just passed straight to him without any contact. Confused he looked at his surroundings to find the destroyed ground repaired like if it was never destroyed in first place.
The wall had now passed through Ender and Zack who were quite surprised too as the ground was perfectly brick up like it was before. Now the wall passed through Misha and Sara who were astonished as well.
Then the wall in great speed moved so fast that when some of them turned behind to saw Leon was there moments ago, now was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh?"
Sara said with confusion as she looked here and there to saw near the sandstone walls. Sitting in the chair as Leon sips his tea.
"Hey there."
Leon said with a smile. The tea in his disappeared to green boxes. Which was absorbed by his body.
"What the?.."
Ruis had a face of disbelief along with Misha. As Leon walked towards them.
"Well. You thought I would fight nah. I told you. Here strategy and tactics matter more than raw strength.. That's what I do."
He shrugged. While Zack and Sara looked at him with blank face. Ruis was panicking as Ender patted him. Nevertheless he still goes to him and grabbed his collar.
"You're saying that all was a stimulation, planned by you!."
"Well.. The thing is. The best to entrapped people is to make them believe they're free. Anyways you're free because fate doesn't work on you."
"Huh?."
Ruis relaxed his arm and dropped from his collar as Leon takes some steps and adjusted himself.
"Even if fate doesn't work here. There is a higher level of fate; entrapping us all to our destiny."
"Higher level of fate."
"Yeah made for us.. This is called.."
Leon slightly extended his arm and looked on the sky.
"Shon.."
His words pierced the air. As others were lost in their own thoughts with an undreadable expression, some wondering.
"But why?. Is it because it is?."
Misha intrigued.
"Well.. This law is made by All beloved.."
"Who is this All beloved All Justice?. Who are these primordial gods?."
Ender asked as if this question make him wonder everytime he thinks about it.
"Oh I forgot!."
Leon clang his forehead. A smirked on his cheeks as he control himself and spoke firmly.
"There are four primordial gods. Who are protecting our entire multiverse from disasters. All Justice, All Sovereignty, All life and All beloved. Many rules are made for safety and reasons. It's quite a long story."
"You mean, a single universe has infinite timelines connected to it then on the above of universe there are infinite layers. Each one being infinity and then with dimensions!?."
Ender coughs but still banter on.
Then there are other universes with the same structure combine to form a multiverse and somehow they all are controlling this whole cosmology. And who are they protecting from?"
Ender exclaimed as he choked hard. Others were in disgrace except Zack who had turned from them and was looking here and there.
"Well I don't know but it's said by our old ones that they're protecting us from unknown?. Honestly I don't know.. I'm just 23 if we talked about here. So I'm just young."
Leon scratches his chin with an exaggerated smile. Knowing he had made everyone furious. Suddenly a thought came to his mind from nowhere.
"Oh yeah I forget to tell you. But among all of primordial gods. They all have different works to do you can say. But among all of them. There's only one who is omnipresent everywhere wherever we are.."
Others who were still trying to process the information wanted to know what words will came. As they all got stunned when the words came out of Leon's lips.
"He is All beloved.."
Suddenly in a instant out of nowhere; a small source of light appeared behind Misha and Zack humming on an unknown language and tone. It was warmth, so warmth, it didn't radiated heat yet at the same time it's light shine in their deepest depth beyond their names.
Hearing this, they got panicked and turned around to saw nothing.
"W– What was that?."
Misha mumbled in disbelief.
"You guess it. Who's work was it?."
Leon chuckle as he continues with a pause. His tone abruptly became serious.
"Remember. The more you know about them, the more they know about you."
"What?. Is this a threat or knowledge?."
Ruis intrigued.
"Both.."
Leon said with a sigh. As he started walking around the ground.
"And yeah. I forgot another thing but–"
Before Leon could finish his words. Misha intrigued.
"I don't think you forget anything."
She spoke with an undreadable expression.
"Huh?"
Leon was confused by her words as the boys looked her with curious faces. Then Sara does her usual smirked and spoke.
"Miss Iris told us you don't forget anything. You and forgot are another different concepts. Stop trolling us you brat."
"When did she tell you?."
He asked as if his lie was exposed.
"Just this morning, when we ask her to get here."
~ Ah damn. Iris what have you done..
Leon sighs before saying.
"Okay. You win now for the important part. Here you can't really died."
"Huh!?"
Some of them were stunned even Zack was quite surprised. Ender and Ruis were in their thoughts as Misha and Sara exclaimed with confusion.
"Yeah for example."
Leon point his finger at Ender and in a instant. A green light beam penetrate his neck. He fell down, his hands clenching on his neck, he was grasping for air as Misha and Zack tried to stop the blood flowing everywhere. The ground in a short time was covered in blood. Then his heart stops beating.
"What have you done!?."
Misha exclaimed, her hands covered in blood as Ruis had a concerned tone along with Sara meanwhile Zack whose hands were also covered in blood. He had an undreadable expression but strangely he sighs.
"Wait."
Leon said firmly.
As a bright dark blue light appeared on his neck. In wonder and confusion everyone was looking at him. Zack smile. As the blood which was on the ground, slowly by itself starts to levitate in the air in drops. As if time itself refused to admit his death.The blood purified itself and the dust which was on the ground mixed with with it was filtered like grains of sand were gradually dropping from the blood. Then all the blood in a instant goes to the neck. Then it began to regenerate itself from both sides. The bright light still steaming.
Now gradually the light dim enough and disappeared away. As the ground which was in blood moments ago. Now was as dry as if there was no death.
"Cough."
Ender choked as he half opened his eyes. Not knowing what had happened to him, just now. As memories started to display on his mind on what had to him. He gets up, shocked, his face sweating in cold sweat.
"Do you just kill me!?."
He roared at Leon who had just brushed his hair over his ear.
"Yeah, it proves now for all of you that you can't died. Basically what happens."
He extended his arms as a giant green screen behind him.
"Your astral form which is sealed because it can cause disturbance in Raiheart which can do a lot of things. Even if your physical body dies. Your astral form will just regenerate you like nothing like it just sealed not destroyed. Keeping that your soul doesn't go out of your body. But there are ways you can died.."
The green screen was showing them how an astran can't died and how it's astral form can regenerate it and make it back to life. As Leon continues with a pause.
"When your astral form is destroyed. Your existence will end. You can't do nothing about it. But this is costly and arduous. So astrans use another option.."
He cleaned his throat gently before saying.
"There are artifacts made from precious materials. Even by using entities such as rabocescous. Or even us astrans trames crafted into objects. Even though there are many artifacts with different purposes like to advance in shift, sealing someone, or even having a boost in your powers. There are artifacts which are made specifically to kill astrans. But.."
Leon said with a pause.
"An astran can only be killed by a object crafted of another deceased astran with the same trame. Otherwise it won't. Basically it destroys and weaken the connection between you and your astral form. Then when your physical body dies. You can't really revive that body because it acts as a poison to your astral form. Slowly that astral form decays as well and turned to cosmic dust."
He shrugged. Everyone was stunned. Sara shakes her head as Misha clenched her teeth. Ruis looked at Zack who was scratching his hair like nothing had gone to his ears. Ender was lost in his thoughts. As he intrigued.
"Can we revive someone?."
Everyone was shocked as they turned their gazes upon him. They all knew who he was talking about. Leon was surprised too as he asked.
"Who you want to revive?. Your grandma?."
He said with a teasing expression. An exaggerated smile as if he was hiding something, while Ender had a serious blank face. He didn't speak anything. In silence between them for few moments, everyone was anxious as Zack break the silence between them.
"Basically. It kinda long story. But his sister died."
"Oh."
Leon was surprised as he hadn't expected this from Ender.
"Did you have a picture of her or something?. And she wasn't awaken right. Because humans or marums who aren't awaken can be revive."
As Ender searches his coat pockets and takes a picture out of it, giving it to Leon. As Leon grabbed it and fixed his eyes upon it. It was their collage life 1st year which was came to end. And Ender and all his friends along with Marine were taking a group picture. Ruis being the one who take the picture as he was the tallest between all of them. Inks sprayed on their clothes as everyone had smile on their faces. It had some chummy vibes.
~ Why the heck they all are models?.
– Old times.. Were good..Weren't they?..
His inner voice mutters to him.
Leon was silence for a while lost in his thoughts as he sighs and gave it to Ender who he gracefully put his in his coat pockets.
"Well.. Anyways we have a lot work to do now. For now Ender and you Zack will have a duel. Then the girls any problem?."
Leon said with a sigh as he scratches his hair.
"No problem."
Zack spoke with his usual tone as he put his hand on Ender's shoulder.
"It's show time."
He whispered to his ears as Ender glanced at him with blank face.
