Necromancer Supreme System

Chapter 29: The Prophecy

"I have seen many weird things, I'm sure Ibro would have a way to kill you, so all I have to do is to catch you till he returns," Maya said, but once she finished, the exact foggy image of her stopped her laughs abruptly as her face changed expression as if she was surprised or shocked by what Maya just said.

"Are you telling me you met Ibro already?" the foggy Maya asked in shock.

"Do you know Ibro?" Maya probed.

"Know him? He is my man girl, he is our man and you have to work hard to get him," The foggy Maya said with a playful tone.

"Get him? he is already mine ghost," Maya said proudly and arrogantly.

"Yours? How?"

"He is my doa companion, and we practiced dual cultivation together all the time, if you know what that even means," Maya said with more pride and arrogance. The other foggy Maya looked in more shock as she muttered:

"Strange, it's great too, but also strange. I should have met you long before you met him, hmmm"

Maya felt something was off here, as she sensed the tone of worry from that foggy imposter, who asked seriously:

"Tell me, how is your system?"

"Why do you bother asking about it?" Maya felt strange about that question, as it felt that fog knew about her system damage. The foggy Maya started to explain for the first time as she said:

"I'm a spirit, and my role is to wait for you to come here and help you out. The old prophecy said so, but it seems that prophecy wasn't accurate, or it wasn't true."

Maya didn't understand any word except that foggy entity was supposed to help her, so she asked:

"What help?"

"I just told you, I'm a spirit and you should have gotten your system crippled and your dantian destroyed.

So, I'm here to replace that shitty system soul and repair your dantian, I'm here to be your mentor, the teacher of myself. You know it seems funny when I just spoke about it, right? This prophecy is a failure, we all bet our lives based on it, and now it seems everything will be lost, again."

Maya was shocked when she heard the words of that foggy picture of her, but she didn't lose her focus so she asked with doubt:

"Why are you calling this a failure?"

"That's because I met you after you met Ibro, I was supposed to meet you before that," the foggy Maya said.

"Why?" Maya asked with more doubt.

"Because I can kill the fiend inside you, while Ibro couldn't. meeting Ibro with your infected system would put him at danger, as his enemies would monitor all his doings through your system, oh I didn't know I would turn into this idiot when I reincarnate," The foggy Maya said.

Maya knew what this foggy strange version of her meant, so she sighed with relief as she explained:

"You don't need to be worried, as my system got crippled already by Ibro."

"What do you say? That's impossible, Ibro wouldn't regain his power so soon, how long have you been reincarnated here? C'mon tell me," The foggy Maya asked with disbelief.

"What do you mean reincarnated?" Maya asked.

"I mean how old are you, dumb head." The foggy Maya asked.

Maya was already discontent with the way this foggy soul was speaking to her, but she replied nonetheless:

"I'm 24 years old now."

"That's weird, that means you and I met at the same time the prophecy told, but how did you meet Ibro sooner than predicted? And how does Ibro manage to destroy your system? Did he get any help?" the foggy Maya asked with more disbelief.

"No, he did it alone, Ibro now is strong, far stronger than what you think," Maya said proudly, as she considered Ibro as her own man.

"That's weird, it's nice but it's still weird," the foggy Maya muttered before she raised her head as she asked:

"Has he regained his necromancer abilities?"

Maya was feeling more doubt the more this foggy version of her spoke, as she felt like she was talking to herself, a stranger person than her but it's still herself.

"Yes, he did, and he is doing a great job at it," Maya replied, before adding, "Now, can you tell me who the hell are you? And what is all this reincarnation thing that you kept repeating all the time?"

"Look, per prophecy I can't tell you a lot, so I can only explain some parts for now," the foggy Maya explained.

"Why? You said it yourself, this prophecy is wrong," Maya didn't intend to let her off this easily without gaining as much info as she could.

"No, it's right, as we met at the same place and time it told us about, but there must be some issue or a change that happened and created this difference. To tell you the truth, the stronger Ibro is, the better our chances will be.

So, I have to stick to the initial plan, as I don't guarantee if I interfered and changed this part of the prophecy, what would this cause in the future," the foggy Maya explained slowly to Maya, who wasn't satisfied by this answer. Before Maya could say anything, the foggy Maya added:

"There's no time to waste here, you know better than me that your time is tight and your enemies are now closing the net over your life. Let's finish fixing your system first, then we will have all the time we need to talk later."

Maya knew her foggy soul was right, but she wanted to understand what was going on at the least, so she said:

"Explain first what you can tell me for now, as I don't trust you to enter my system this easily."

"Oh, stubborn as usual, ok, I will tell you some facts first, and by doing that I would be granted the right to enter and fix your system," the foggy Maya said.

"Not so soon, first I hear what you have to say and judge it, if it wasn't reliable then I won't allow you to get near me no matter what happens," Maya said stubbornly while looking straight in the eye of her foggy soul.

The foggy Maya looked very irritated, but she knew she couldn't do anything to her reincarnation, so she finally followed Maya's arrangements as she said:

"Long time ago, when I was alive, a disaster struck my universe and threatened to destroy it and kill everyone there. Ibro led a lot of people in a try to stand against this catastrophe but we failed.

Before we went out, we learned about a prophecy that only Ibro knew its source, and as he told us he totally believed in it. that prophecy said we would fight, and we would lose, and that was just the beginning.

The prophecy drew a huge future for each of us, and all of them were connected by two things, the first is reincarnation, and the second is Ibro.

The prophecy said that our enemies would manipulate the systems we will use after reincarnation, and so it planned for me to keep my soul in hibernation till the moment you step foot in this place, then I will wake up and help you in killing the fiend inside your body.

As a collateral damage, your system will be crippled, and to fix that you need to use a soul, my soul. Now, can you let me help you, help me, help everyone else, help Ibro?"
