Yet William couldn't tell what it was. In the next few minutes, he saw a miracle happening in front of his eyes.
These chains of golden light started to surround all the shards. As these shards were already minute in size, they got soaked entirely with pure golden light in no time.
William looked around, and all the shards started to shine in golden lights after being grabbed by these chains. He watched as these chains started to pull these golden shards back, looking as if they belonged to the same power releasing the golden rays of light.
This process occurred over a long course of time, taking almost a few more hours to happen. During which, more wheels got shattered, and the same thing happened to every single one of these wheels.
After three hours, the wheels that got destroyed first returned to look like wheels again. They were still filled with cracks, lots of cracks, while the light coming out from them was pure gold.
He looked at all this, at the wheels that shattered then returned to form wheels again, to all these cracks, to the other wheels that got shattered and were in the middle of the repair process.
Yes, this was indeed a repair process. But William felt that something was amiss here.
"The cracks aren't healing…" After long hours, he noticed that the cracks appearing over the repaired wheels weren't showing any sign of healing. They were in the right place, releasing golden lights, and finally the rays of golden lights left them, headed towards other wheels to support their comrades.
That meant their role was over. And that meant these cracks would be left there forever. "Do you need me to do something else? Please teach me, I just got such knowledge, with no other arts to use…"
As this kept happening on an increasing pace, thanks to the joining of more rays together, he started to feel the entirety of faulted wheels would be left without a cure.
This was indeed better than being faulted, but this wasn't enough. This was like trying to cure a patient out of cancer, curing the cancer, but leaving the patient on the verge of dying, without giving him any nutrients or life support.
William felt more hopeless towards such a situation. He had no power to intervene, no knowledge to tell him what he should do next.
The half repair process accelerated by the passage of more time. The almost seven hours needed to shatter and then reform a single wheel got shortened to be less than half an hour, or even less.
In a few days, the faulted wheels got reformed, all shining gold, with tons of cracks on their surface.
"Thanks for half assed solutions," as he saw the last rays of golden light retreat back beyond the dense white clouds, he couldn't prevent himself from shouting like this in an enraged tone.
He knew by the last of these golden rays of light's departure, everything here would be over. The world got freed from the curse it suffered for aeons of years, but it wasn't the perfect situation either.
[This isn't the task of the Fate and Destiny world to repair things that humans and monsters shall] as he was about to lower his head, accepting such bitter victory and achievement, he heard such a majestic voice echoing in his mind.
The moment that voice appeared, and he felt like every cell of his body froze out of awe and veneration. He even felt the need to prostrate himself to such power, yet refrained from doing so using pure will.
[You did something great, despite lacking anything to use such power. You deserve a reward. Your position in the Fate and Destiny world increases by two grades. Keep doing the good deeds, and always remember that Karma is the absolute ruler of the universe]
The voice didn't give William any time to regain his composure or control his thoughts. The moment he regained his freedom to speak and move again, the rays of lights vanished, alongside all the densely packed clouds and the owner of that voice.
"What the heck was that?!!!" He felt like he was an ant in the presence of a mighty king or a god. Yet he couldn't get what that voice said, "it's up to the world's living creatures to repair these cracks?" William was more puzzled the more he thought about this, "what should they do? What does this higher power expect from them?"
There was no clue, only these mysterious words and the weird praise he got from that higher power. He wasn't surprised for such power to know about how this being learnt about how he accessed here. It felt like this higher being was in control of everything here, and that meant it was easy for it to know about such things.
But when William saw these cracked wheels, he couldn't help but shake his head. "This is going to be tough," he knew he was betting everything on the words of that mysterious being. He hoped nothing bad would happen to the people in that world, to the world itself.
He cancelled the art and this time it worked. The moment he returned; he saw something new in front of him.
When he went into the fate and destiny world, he was in the depth of a deep pit. But right now, he was standing on the top of a grand mountain.
He looked around, and the world he saw wasn't any way similar to the world of destruction that he saw before leaving.
This world was filled with lots of vegetations, green trees, even to the extent of calling it a promising project of being a great forest in the future decades.
William didn't recognise this place, and his earliest thoughts drifted towards being teleported away from the entire area of the flying beasts.
"Sh*t! I got out but didn't solve anything!" He knew that the tower wasn't going to be destroyed without his intervention.
