Chapter 87: Bonding part 2
Chapter 87: Bonding part 2
As I slowly came to be, I realised.... that there was nothing for me to realise. With darkness enveloping my whole self, I didn't see, hear of feel anything. As if once again devoid of any senses, I could only drift through this strange space while thinking about the images that I just saw.
While it wasn't hard for me to recognise the familiarities of the body that I was in, the complete story didn't make much sense. With every moment, I understood more and more about those visions. For example, what was just the fatherly figure back when I was living through it, was now an overwhelmingly dense and powerful aura, incomparable to what I could present even at my current peak. It felt like comparing an ant to an elephant if I were to try it.
Slowly coming to terms with reality, I started connecting the dots. While guessing that I saw Eve's memories was easy, I couldn't understand her emotions that were only now uncovering themselves as I thought about those memories. I wonder why all of this happened in this strange order. Instead of showing me everything at once, all emotions, physical senses, thoughts and feelings were coming in waves, as if forcing me to experience all of those visions over and over again, but with a different and more saturated point of view every time!
Repeating this strange spectator view of the visions for more than seven times, it started to ingrain in me as it were my own memories. At this point, I felt a strange tug on my ego in this strange space, before I suddenly appeared in front of a strange object.
Despite not having eyes or hands in this semi corporeal state, I could still clearly see how it looked and experience how it feels to grab it with my own hands. While I could sense it, there is no way I would be able to explain how it felt to experience its touch. Its as if a heart got turned into infinitely dense and hot lava, pulsating in the rhythm of the beating of a normal heart.
With every beat, it felt like the entire space was vibrating along with its pulse, just like the blood making its way through the human veins, propelled by the beating of the heart. As I simply gazed at this phenomena, I felt said pulse flowing through my body? Soul? Whatever state that I was in. In this moment of calmness, I sensed another presence near this strange object. Raising my imaginary sight, I saw a dim white mist floating over the heart.
As soon as I spotted it, the whole area froze for a moment, as if time suddenly stopped working. The very next second, a powerful wave emerged from within this object, repelling this mist, me and everything else in one swoop!
Floating in the alley of the said wave, I keep distancing myself from this strange object faster and faster before I couldn't feel its presence anymore. But even without it as an orientation point, I still felt my self speeding up with every moment! As if reaching the limits of this space, I felt pressure on my imaginary back growing to the infinity, before the entire bubble burst and I opened my real eyes!
Contrary to my expectations, my body or soul weren't hurt at all. Lying on the wet grass with a morning sun slowly finding its way over the horizon, I swiftly understood that I laid unconscious for at least an entire day and night!
With a sudden thought, I prompted myself forward while feeling my heart beating so fast that it started making me worry about bursting out of my chest! Only when I saw Eve sleeping soundly on the grass just a single meter apart from me I could calm down. With everything that had happened inside my head, I really had no clue what to make out of it. It's not like even the system came to my help in it.
I'm so fucking confused, what was this heartlike object? What were those waves that keep appearing in that space? Where are the necessary information for me to understand all of this? Bonger, where are you when I need you the most?
Not even a single blop for me. Just as I thought! When it comes to cultivation, this damn system isn't helping me at all! Why does it pretend to be a tool to make me stronger then?
All those thoughts disappear when I hear a slight rustling nearby. Instantly ditching all the thoughts about system away, I turn my head to Eve, only to see her slowly waking up. It seems that our visions ended around a similar time.
"Are you okay?"
While looking at her face, I can't help but think about all of the images that I saw just a moment before. Who was this insanely powerful man? Where did this fire happen? Who dared to bind and molest her?
"A-are you a G-god's apostle?"
Completly ignoring my worried face, she couldn't help but tremble as she looked at me with her eyes wide open in reverence.
"What do you mean by that? Where did that question come from?"
At this point, I realise one thing. If those visions didn't come from the system, that means that she most likely experienced them herself! And if what I saw were the images of her past, then what in the Love of God did she see? Will she start asking me about the earth now, or will her questions limit to my life as a talentless young master back at my family turf?
"I think I saw your past While I can't make sense of what happened before, I'm sure I saw the grace of God shrouding you at some point, before you entered some kind of trance that led you to the forest when you met me Does that mean."
Seeing the doubt, wonder and slight hope in her eyes, I can only thank my fast guts for coming with this perfect answer for now!
"That our meeting was orchestrated by God himself?"
