Tale of Discovery

Chapter 45: Creator (FC)

My mind is in a mess right now. I know that whatever just happened were my past memories.

I barely understand the memories of my previous life in that disgusting world, but I have no idea in regards to the other one in Rome.

What I do know that those memories are important. I need to remember everything and connect the dots somehow.

There is the choice of questioning Yuno and Juno, although I highly doubt that they would answer my inquiries properly.

Still worth a shot though,

"Yuno, what happened after my death? Why were you and Juno speaking to each other?"

As expected, Yuno has a deflated look on her face as she says to me in a sorry tone,

"I can't tell you that. I really would've if I could!"

I know she would. After going all that nonsense with her, I realized that she might be the only trustworthy person in my life. Now, I still find her to be extremely trustworthy, but not as much as before because of the memory of seeing her with Juno.

Speaking of Juno, I am even more suspicious of her. I don't know what her intentions are for interacting with me. Why would she call herself my "guardian angel"? I have a feeling that there is a hidden meaning to the term.

For now, I should just act oblivious until I get more information regarding their powers and the past.

"So, what are we going to do now that this has been resolved?" Mikaela asks.

Good question.

Heading back to Japan and reuniting with the others is my priority for now. However, Legion still exists and will be causing me a lot of trouble. Oh, almost forgot that its founder is beside me right now,

"Tell me, Yuno, how many branches of Legion are there all over the world?"

I ask the question in such a manner as I recall people speaking of how children were disappearing globally rather than only in a few countries.

She gives me a pointed look for a few seconds before replying in a relaxed voice,

"I assume that you find their existence bothersome."

She then beams me a smile as she says cutely,

"Would you like me to wipe them off the globe? It would require me to use the core of my Code."

What the hell. Is she claiming that she can destroy them all here and now? Even if it has drawbacks, this is absurd.

However, I don't care about that,

"Do it."

As soon as she hears me, her smile widens as she raises her arm sideways, forming a T shape with her body.

A few seconds later, she begins to gradually float upwards as a violet aura exudes from her and spacial cracks form all over the place.

She then moves her arms and presses her palms together, which seems to make the aura disappear as she falls to the ground.

A few moments later, I feel a violent shaking coming from the direction of the building nearby. Suddenly, the walls begin to tear themselves apart as they move inside.

From outside, it seems like the building is eating itself out, but upon the uses of Clairvoyance, I can see that there seems to be some sort of black sphere that's sucking everything in.

I notice that it's size seems to be increasing, which also happens to correspond to the range, speed and force of the sucking associated with it.

To deal with any issues before they arise, I use Light Manipulation to form a wall of light around everyone and stabilize them.

After a few minutes, everything in the surrounding area has been sucked in. All of us are currently in the air supported by platforms made of light to not fall.

The damage done by the sphere is phenomenal and has impressed me. I'm sure that no one without the usage of supernatural powers of some sort will be able to get away from it.

"The same thing that happened here is occurring all over the buildings I've had marked," Yuno says in a serene voice.

"However, as this used the core of my Code to be done, I need a while before I'm capable of doing something even remotely similar to this."

For some reason, the second she said that I hear a threatening chuckle from a certain someone.

"Don't get your hopes up, Evelin. What I am capable of is more than enough to obliterate you," seemingly noticed it as well, Yuno says to Juno.

Juno's expression stiffens as she says with a glare, "Don't call me that."

"Say are we going to be getting out of here anytime soon?" a voice suddenly chimes and attracts everyone's attention.

"It's getting late, and we are still in the middle of nowhere," Shinoa complains.

She's got a point.

However, there is one slight issue... How the hell do we get out of here?

{That is simple. Now that Father has unsealed Creation, using it to produce an object recognized by the major populace of the Platform out of thin air is one of its possibilities.}

Wow. That's one hell of a cheat. There sure must be some drawbacks to using it, right?

{Negative. Other than the amount of energy consumed to create something, Father shouldn't have any other problems.}

Alright! Finally some good news.

What would the rate of production to energy be? Would it depend on the mass or the size?

{That would be the populace's familiarity with the object created. The more the populace has interacted with it, the less energy it would require.}

Aww... there goes my plans of creating tanks and wreaking havoc within cities. Ah, just forget it. What I'm curious about is if I can create humans. I mean, they interact with each other quite a lot, so it shouldn't cost a lot.

{The formation of sentient beings requires the use of the core of Father's Code, which Father isn't capable of doing at the moment.}

Interesting word choice right there. Sentient beings. Which means that if I create a "human" with no sentience it would be fine, right?

{Correct. During the process of creation, Father is able to forge wishes into its body. It falls under the sub-category designated as Programming.}

I will deal with this in more detail later. For now, we need some means of transportation to return to Japan.

I think for a few seconds before coming up with something,

"Everyone, give me a moment to prepare something that will get us back to Japan."

My words confuse everyone as they gawk at me and wait for further explanation.

Using Light Manipulation, I move the platforms so that everyone is safely on the ground. Heck, even if I had abruptly removed it, no one would've been injured.

I immediately move toward somewhere with a lot of space to work on what I want.

First, I use Insight on myself.

I immediately feel extra familiar with all the powers and abilities that I have to the point that I feel like I could tier them up by just thinking about doing so.

Not letting my feelings get the better hold of me, I imagine the structure that I wish to form.

The next moment, I feel like my consciousness is being linked with a database as several images pop up in my head.

All-around "me", the images begin to swirl around and finally form one complete structure: an airport.

I feel my energy being drained at a constant rate as particles begin to form out of thin air and join together in front of me.

It takes about seven minutes for the structure to finish constructing.

Whoops, almost forgot the others exist. I wonder what they think of this...

Turning around, I see looks of abject shock on everyone's face apart from Juno, Yuno, and Shinoa.

Even Krul seems to be a little stunned.

Should I use Creation to produce some eggs and see if they would fit in their mouths? I feel like the answer would be yes.

I no longer pay any attention to them and focus back on the matter at hand.

Using Creation once again, this time picturing an aeroplane, the same thing occurs. The linkage of the database with my consciousness and the swirling of the images.

If there is one thing that is different this time about the process, it is that it took comparatively less time for it to be done.

After about three minutes, a commercial airliner has formed out of thin air.

Despite forming such a huge object and structure, my energy seems to be drained by about 5% if I were to put it in numerals.

This power is amazing. Imagine all the possibilities that could be done through its usage. I do wonder, though, is the power capable of only forming physical objects?

{No.}

A simple reply from Irene has opened a door to endless other possibilities with the newly acquired power.

Alright then, time to find a pilot for my aeroplane. As if.

"Who would like to fly this thing?" I ask the group as if I'm asking them to go out and do some grocery shopping.

Shinoa's eyes seem to light up as she volunteers herself.

"Got it. Everyone, get in the plane and buckle yourselves up," I order in a neutral tone.

Gift:

-Insight

This is an amazing ability. What happens when the time for Gift runs out? I simply use it again, as there is no cooldown or limits to doing so.

Also, according to the others, a minority of the knowledge gained through Insight stays. It's a shame that I'm unable to use it for more than once a day.

"You'll be staying by my side, right?" Shinoa suddenly asks me.

I respond to her by nodding once. She beams me a smile before getting in the aeroplane.
