<There are 4 different types of Will that can manifest>
<Planetary Will, Constellation Will, Galactic Will, and Universal Will>
"They all have Wills? Wait, constellations? What exactly does that entail?" Ning asked.
<Stars usually do not have enough energy for their size to create a will. However, sometimes, a group of stars, if they are near to each other create a collective will and can manifest themselves if they have life close by.>
<Those wills are considered as Constellation wills>
"How much energy do these Wills have?" Ning asked. He couldn't imagine a Universal Will with the power of billions of Galaxies worth of energy.
<Wills normally aren't very strong when compared to what they are the will of.>
<Most of the time, the energy they can use is a fraction of what comes out through the Origin.>
<so instead of the size of the Celestial body, it is the amount of time that determines the power of the Will>
Ning nodded. Genesis had just created the system with the power he got from the Origin, so that was the reason why he was so strong.
'That eyeball,' Ning thought. 'Genesis called it a Constellation. Does that mean it was a Will too?'
When Ning remembered back to the conversation he heard between the two, it became clear that the Eyeball that Bellatrix had managed to summon was actually a Constellation Will.
Ning couldn't help but sweat what would have happened to Nova had Bellatrix not told the Will to kill her instead.
Ning quickly shook his head free of the thought and thought of other questions to ask.
"So… those are all?" Ning asked. "Nothing else? No nebula or giant comets and asteroid, or hell, even black holes?"
<A Nebula is way too sparse to have enough energy to form even the most primitive of will>
<Comets and Asteroids are too small and mostly lacking in energy>
<Black Holes do not have energies of their own to form a will>
That final line was a little confusing to Ning. "Black holes don't have energies of their own? What is that supposed to mean?" he asked.
<You do not have enough authority to learn more about Black Holes>
"Woah, we're doing that again?" Ning asked, but the system stayed quiet.
"Okay, then do these beings make systems then?" Ning asked.
<yes. Mostly Galactic Wills and Universal Wills. But Constellation wills can sometimes come together to form a collective system>
"But not all of them do that, do they?" Ning asked.
<No>
Ning nodded as he thought of other things to ask. "Right, you disabled yourself to protect me right?" he asked.
<No. The system was disabled to give you time to get in contact with the Will since that was the only way to get rid of it>
"Wait, so was I never in any danger?" Ning asked with a surprised expression. "I was sure I would be captured and experimented on and stuff.>
<No, you were in danger.>
"And you let me come here anyway? With no protection to boot," Ning said.
<You were cautioned to not absorb energy here. That is all the protection you needed>
"What do you mean?" Ning asked.
<With the system disabled and you not absorbing any energy, you were never in any danger of being caught>
Ning was confused. "What does not absorbing energy have to do with being in danger? I have been curious about this for a while but I just can't understand," he said.
<When the host of the Energy System takes in energy that belongs to another Will, there establishes a certain connection between the two that allows access for the Will to see and hear your thoughts and feelings.>
"They can read our thoughts?" Ning asked with a shocked face. "Wait, so had I absorbed energy here, I would've been read like an open book? Is that what you're saying?"
<Yes. There is nothing you can do aside from using up all the energy if you wanted to get rid of the intrusion in your mind.>
"Does that mean everyone here had their thoughts read by Genesis?" Ning asked.
<No. It is impossible to create said connection with someone that has a soul.>
<Only beings with no soul are read by the different wills>
"So every will could read my mind if I absorbed energy that belonged to them, huh? Then even Alexis must have— wait no, she did my mind. Wait, was that why she could read my mind the entire time?" Ning asked.
<Yes>
"Woah, so that means she could hear everything I thought from the very beginning," Ning thought. "Is that why Alexis could control those Aether horses too? Is that the same reason why Genesis could control these humans and monsters that had no soul?"
<Yes>
<Beings with no Soul can only have their thoughts and feelings read and heard>
<Beings with no soul and no intelligence can have their thoughts and feelings controlled as well>
"Holy Shit! A Will really sounds way too strong now," Ning thought.
"So I really could've been in danger here then," Ning asked. "Do you have some sort of escape plan if I was ever caught by Genesis?"
<No>
<The only thing we can do is send out a beacon and hope another Will interferes and rescues us, or another Host hears the beacon and decides to come>
"And that chance is almost nil, isn't it?" Ning asked and sighed. He hadn't realized just how close he was to being caught and forever kept as someone's pet.
Ning got his thoughts free of the fact that he had almost been captured for eternity and started thinking of what else he could do now.
He opened his status again to see that he indeed had 1.5 Sextillion Energy and it wasn't leaking anymore.
He remembered the system saying that he needed a bit more than 3 Sextillion energy to reach Kumia. Which meant if he used the energy he had right now, he would make it about halfway there.
This was going to be a giant leap on his journey and he couldn't wait.
