Chapter 995 Nephilim's Dreams 2
-----
Once we got back home, our parents decided to cook some dinner together, so with the time we had, I left my friends talking with and comforting Pyuku, while I moved upstairs to my room where Nephilim decided to talk about what she remembered.
I had thought about bringing Aquarina with us, but then I imagined that Nephilim wanted some privacy if she asked for us to speak to this privately inside a room, so I told Aquarina that, and she understood.
"Okay, it's fine. I hope she can get better." She nodded comprehensively.
"Thanks, and don't worry, I'm sure she'll get better." I smiled.
Once I walked inside my room Nephilim was there sitting, waiting for me. She seemed still without any energy and was looking at the glass window longingly.
"Alright, now tell me what happened."
I sat at her side, as she nodded.
"It's not really that much, but it made think things a bit more, Master." Nephilim sighed. "I… Well, when I saw Pyuku crying, and saying that he was the only and last one, the memories started flowing, large fragments of them, one after another."
Nephilim said that her memories had always been fragmented, but that she remembered some of the memories of her making… However, this changed a lot now that she gained new memories.
She said there was a different world out there, a world made of unknown technology, with flying carriages, enormous towers of white color, and technology to the level of her own composition, if not slightly more advanced.
And within this city, Nephilim remembered that she was living there. She was a person… Someone whose real name she cannot remember.
"I was definitely someone else… I… Ah, its hard to explain it." She sighed.
"Don't worry, just do what you can." I said. "S-So this was another world? Like… the one my soul came from?" I asked.
"…" Nephilim nodded; she had already seen memories of my previous life after we made a contract. "Yes, something… similar."
She said these fragmented memories were special, they carried with them emotions she had never felt before. Of that memory of her living as a person, perhaps a human, in this strange and different world.
"Let me share them with you more clearly, as I show you what I saw."
Suddenly, she touched my hand, our connection between Master and Familiar activated, her memories flowing into my mind, as I saw them as visions, or perhaps dreams.
FLASH!
"Hmm, I guess this is fine for now, right?"
Nephilim looked herself in the mirror of that memory, she was a beautiful girl, without all the mechanical parts that made her up now, with blonde hair, and crimson eyes.
At first she seemed to have been shocked by this revelation, but as the memories continued, she simply let them bring her to wherever they wanted.
She was quickly dragged to anther fragmented memory, where she found herself in some sort of laboratory, one made of his highly technological society in another world.
"Papa! What are you doing today?"
She spoke, moving towards someone similar to her, a tall man with blonde hair, and shining crimson eyes, he had a short blonde beard, and was wearing a white coat, while looking at several things.
"Oh, dear… You shouldn't be getting inside the laboratory all the time, you know?" Sighed her father. "We deal with all kinds of things in here. The materials extracted from the Gates are not things that can be handled easily. Even less those imbued with Divine Energy."
"But I got in, hehe." His daughter giggled mischievously.
"Go back for now, alright? Your father is quite busy…"
Her father was looking at a large golden marble, which was overflowing with a strange yet familiar golden-colored aura of energy, sparking like electricity.
"Since we entered the Era of Awakening that our Evolution has not stopped…" He said, as if talking to himself. "Some of us have reached heights nobody could have ever imagined… But there is more to this energy, more to this power… This is a very important subject, dear. So please, leave me alone for now."
"Okay…" His daughter seemed saddened that her father was spending so much time inside his laboratory, without dedicating time to her.
The memories then ended there, distorting around on themselves, before yet another vision surged, a small fragment, perhaps of a memory of a much later time.
Nephilim seemed much older, no longer a teen, but a young woman on her twenties, looking into what Alice had described to me like a holographic screen, which worked as what she said were "TVs".
In the TV, there was several images showing, words below them could be somehow understood, they were the same language the ruins of the Gods used.
And such news, apparently, said this [The Ascension of Humanity Has Begun]. There was a man with red hair, which was being interviewed by many people at once about this topic too, and he seemed quite charismatic.
"Sir! Sir! Is it true that with the latest technology that has been developed, the possibility of cloning, enhancing lifespan, and even leaving our mortal shells has become a reality?"
"Please, sir! Is it true that your organization has been using people for your experimentations? Are these allegiances true or false?"
"Since the Gates opened five hundred ago, the world changed like never before. Technology evolving at a pace we never thought possible." The red-haired man said, with a charismatic smile. "In these last five centuries, our technology has advanced in what would have taken us thousands. The Conquest of the Universe is upon us. We shall begin the colonization of the Stars themselves in the future… All our hard work will not go in vain."
The man didn't address any of the other questions, walking away. As if he had a lot to hide… The TV then changed channels, showing another news, ones much more tragic.
It showed the devastation of whatever were these "Gates" phenomenon, showing countless deserted cities, and the news reporter spoke, saying gruesome words.
"In the last two hundred years, the worldwide population has decreased by over 70% due to the Gate Phenomena that started five centuries ago… Countries have ended one after another, and the world's greatest countries have done nothing to help those in need of help."
"What will happen to the rest of us, who have no such money to "ascend"?"
