Chapter 1066 [Bonus chapter] Seers!
"Origin? Origin of what?"
"Origin of… Everything!" she blurted out such weird words, "all the universes and cosmos were born from here. And as such, all the universes and cosmos are linked to here."
"This…" I was still feeling hard to get the heads and tails about what she said before. And now she added one more shocking and hard to believe news.
"Everything in this life has a shadow. Unlike what common sense tells, life came from darkness, not the other way around."
"You mean…"
"This shadow universe came first, then life sprouted out of it and formed the massive multi cosmos that we all live in."
"You keep talking about many cosmos, do you mean many universes? From what universe are you from in my cosmos?" I had to first understand your origin, little sis, before I could even understand the origin of this universe.
"Well… This knowledge is only known to a few of us… People who are called Seers!"
"Seers?!" This was the first time for me to hear about such an organisation, "are they special talented people or overall powerful ones?"
"No," she slowly shook her head, "we are… Survivors."
"What?!"
"We are the ones who survived the demise and fall of our universes and worlds. To be a Seer, one had to meet those deadly folks and manage to escape unscathed. For me and you for example, we ended up ruining their plans and their weapons, right?"
She pointed back at that awful seat on her ship. I took a look and indeed she got a point there.
What better survivor would I describe myself with? It was a light term, yet it held all the meaning and value behind it.
"We, Seers, are people selected by heavens to go against those folks. In the entire set of cosmos known so far, only few of us exist."
"So we got more than the two of us, right?"
"Not that much actually, after all compared to our enemies we are just ants in comparison."
"This… Then what Seers have to do? What is our mission?" To understand an organisation like impacts for example, one could easily do it by knowing their goal in life.
"We… Try our best to grow stronger, assemble all the power that we can uphold, and that's to prepare for the final show off."
"Final show off?"
"It's something… Way too far ahead of you and me, of anyone of our Seers actually," she sighed, in such a tired way, giving me the impression how impossible it was for us to win.
"But we got many perks in return. For example, we have a drive to move on. Just like this world here, most of the lords are lazy and confined to their lands, not seeking others out except for special and lame reasons."
"I can tell…" I got what she wanted to say, "but it's a drive anyone else will have."
"Not like anyone else, we have a far fetched goal that we have to reach. For example, we have to control our universes to deal with the messy situation in our cosmos. You know about how messy our cosmos are, right?"
"I got… Few things to know," I shook my head as I honestly responded, "by the way, from where did you manage to get all this info? Is there a library or a system helping you or what?"
"Library? System? No, there isn't such a thing. But I got this…" she pointed again at the seat, "even if it's a hideous weapon that was used to crush universes, it also is a magnificent tool that can link you with deep secrets of the cosmos."
"This…" I looked in doubt towards that seat, feeling perplexed about what she just mentioned.
"It's still early for you to get access to it," she slowly shook her head, "to do so, one has to first be the ruler of his universe."
"This…" Hearing that made my eyes pop out from my head, "does that mean…" you were a ruler of your universe?
And amidst my shock, she slowly nodded her head.
"I did that tens of years ago. It was an interesting journey. And right after, I gained access to endless knowledge in that thing. Also from there, I got to know about the existence of this origin universe and its value."
"So you came here through that seat?" I still couldn't find this seat to be something good. Hell no! It was a disaster! A calamity of four legs!
"Indeed, when you have access to it, you'll know everything. But first… You have to be the sole ruler of your universe."
"This… It's a regret that such a thing is impossible for me," I slowly shook my head while expressing my feelings and thoughts in such honesty.
I was strong, indeed growing up fast, going against many of the strongest forces in the universe.
But to call myself the sole ruler? That was a joke! A ruler meant that I'd be the strongest dude all over the universe, reigning supreme and mighty over everyone.
Wasn't this… A bit too much exaggerated dream for me or what?
"Don't think it this way," unlike what I expected, she slowly shook her head before adding in an affirmative tone, "I once thought the same as you. But after many decades, I can tell you that Seers aren't weak or follow logic by any means."
"This…" Girl, you just mentioned decades twice in a row! Didn't that mean you are the age of my grandma or something?
Why did you insist on me calling you my little sister? I was still young, not even close to a quarter of the lifetime you lived!
"Don't think much about it and just focus on your work," she paused, assessing me again, "yet I have to give it to you. You managed to find your way here even without the help of the seat. And that means you are special."
"You are special," I sighed. What was she trying to do here? Twist facts around to cheer me up? I wasn't that bitter person anyway.
