Chapter 10 - Help Me Or You Die

After watching the marionettist die, I curiously watched as "her" characteristics slowly came out of ''her'' body. I took her body in a princess carry, ignoring the passed-out Nea, as I walked out of his room. I slowly walked to my room and soon after sat down on a chair to the side, putting "her" corpse on my bed as I called out to the air.

"I know you can hear me, Amon. What is this place?" I asked, demanding an answer from Amon. To that, I got nothing but air. Well, not really; I did get something. The corpse of the marionettist, or well, at most a bizarro sorcerer, slowly got up, causing me to quickly jump back as I raised my right arm and pointed it at "her."

Only to get a chuckle, not of amusement but of ''boredom'', from the "corpse" as "she" opened "her" mouth. "Sorry, but that fán rén (烦人) just isn't here, nor can 'he' hear you. This 'place' is our revival ritual—well, more like 'his,' but same difference, as 'he' knew I would never let 'him' revive." My eyes widened as I heard "her" speak in a language few do in these times.

Causing me to blurt out, "Celestial Worthy!?" That alone caused the "corpse" of the "woman" to look at me with a glint of curiosity that they previously didn't have. However, it was not simply genuine curiosity; it could be rather called fake, as if "she" was trying to project the emotion so that I could feel it.

"She" almost seemed utterly uncaring for my existence, treating this as a mere pastime that would come and pass in the blink of an eye. While "she" wouldn't, "she" would stay "here," unchanging, eternal, ever-changing yet staying the same. It was almost as if, from the simple not even 30-second interaction Kieran had with "her," he experienced what it was like to talk to a god. That caused a shiver down his spine, as not even Amon gave off this feeling. "She" could still be thought of in the human sense; "her" desire was evident, and "her" goal, although wishing for it above most other things, still had lines ''she'' would not cross such as "her" life.

"This 'woman'—"she" was just there, detached, as if all of this was already flowing in a way 'she' expected. Everything and anything that happens merely part of something grander that someone like him simply couldn't understand. He doesn't think he would ever be able to understand someone like "her."

But before he could spiral more into the utter void that could be called this "woman's" emotions, or more aptly, humanity, "she" once again spoke. "No, I'm not 'him.' Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings is ''dead''. At this point, ''he'' should be resurrecting soon as that Fool and then be subsequently suppressed until ''he'' arrives.

And as for me, I'm just a simple half-uniqueness who just happens to be at the will of Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. I am the leftover scraps of the shavings of the second pillar. I am The Blessings for The Earth From Heaven Who Is Worthy.

But if you wish, you can call me The Will Of Heaven or Heaven's Will; nonetheless, it all refers to me." I felt as if my brain was going to explode as I looked at "her" and learned things that would drive beyonders mad. However, I wasn't, which could be called a blessing. However, when it comes to something related to Celestial Worthy, that simply isn't the case.

'This is truly the worst case. Fuck, this isn't just one of the plans of that dumbass Cheek and Medici. Judging by "her" way of speaking, this could very well be the resurrection plan of Primordial God Almighty as well or well one of them, and I'm right in the middle of it. I would love for this to be a part of someone's keikaku.

Truly, I hope for this not to be a coincidence. However, if it truly was, I would not get my spirit threads manipulated, as I cannot be corrupted, nor would this 'Heaven's Will' be here in front of me. If they are anything like Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, then "she" wouldn't be here. There is simply no reason for "her" to appear in front of me.

And going by that line of thinking, could "she" be here to kill me or to ally with me? That is the question. One they have had ample chance to kill me but haven't, leading to the simple fact that "she" would like to make me part of "her" team. But there is also the possibility that something or someone is diverting "her" attention and nearly devoting everything "she" has on dealing with whatever that could be. However, that is unlikely, so is option one? Fuck, it's times like this where I wish I had the intellect of Klein. But since I'm not dead yet, there is no point in not asking "her," I guess.'

Tentatively opening his mouth, still fearing death or something worse, Kieran asked, "The Blessings for The Earth From Heaven Who Is Worthy, may I know why exactly you're here? I have tried to think of a reason, of course; however, none of them are likely to be true or are half true. I'm simply not smart enough to know, so may I know why?"

Heaven's Will smiled at that, as if waiting for him to ask, and answered in a calm, steady tone—not arrogant, as if explaining 1 + 1 to an idiot, but nearly there. "It's simple: you need me, and I need you to stop the resurrection of Primordial God Almighty. And to give you a little incentive to really help us, if you don't, the birth of the fourth, who is the most hidden, will be born. And you wouldn't want ''her/him'' to come into being, would you? After all, ''they'' will cause the end of everything."

My eyes widened, and my heart started beating like a roaring drum as I thought, 'H- how does she know that I know about the hidden fourth pillar? "She" should have no idea that I know about "them." After all, "they" were not even supposed to exist—a pure coincidence in the 5th epoch, a being born out of the arrogance of Primordial God Almighty, Primordial Demoness Cheek, and The Red Angel Of War Medici.

Fuck, do they know that I know about the plot? How? Wait, does Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings know about the plot? Do I need to make sure, no matter what, Klein becomes Lord Of Mysteries and fuck with Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings' plans even more? Or do I steer everything in a completely unknown direction?

Damn it, if only, if only, if only... no, I need to keep myself undistracted. I need to clear my mind as I think of ways to make everything go as planned. But how? I'm not a fucking genius like everyone in the goddamned novel. Wait, if this is a plan of Celestial Worthy, does that mean transmigrators are involved somehow, especially because this so-called half-uniqueness exists here—'

But before Kieran could spiral any more than he already was in doubt and coming up with plans and excuses for his current situation, using his enhanced brain to its fullest, Heaven's Will once again spoke in "her" detached tone of a god that Kieran could not quite get used to and never would. "No need to think too hard about how I know you're a time traveler. It's because of Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings.

''He'' foresaw you when Primordial God Almighty ripped the error uniqueness out of Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings while ''he'' was dying. ''He'' then also saw this place along with a lot of other things, as Primordial God Almighty isn't the only being able to foresee some events that will happen and leave plans for such."

At ''her'' steady words I was relieved yet still frightened knowing that both Primordial God Almighty and Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings knew of my existence and ''her'' seeing my expresion made ''her'' ask again in the same detached tone ''So will you join me or not Kieran? but I have to remind you that not doing so will not only result in your death but of everyone else as well.''

I couldn't help but want to sigh at that knowing it was the inevitable outcome as I asked ''Before I accept or decline why is all of this happening why would the fourth emerge so soon it just doesn't make sense?'' Not even a moment after I voiced my question ''she'' answered by saying ''Yes ''they'' shouldn't have emerged until much later however Cheek and Medici's backup plan this kingdom or well sub mirror/spirit world added in variables suitable for ''their'' birth.''

( A/N : Yes I did change the bit about the error uniqueness just a bit. Fun Fact | Primordial Demoness Cheek is technically still alive inside Lumian I just think that's cool. )
