[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 231: Strange Symbiosis (1)

...****************...


After entering and locking her apartment room, Noelle immediately placed the cage containing the two white mice on the table.


In the stillness and darkness of the room that had no illumination whatsoever, Noelle looked back and forth between the two mice with a piece of paper in her hand.


On that paper, an intricate symbol was beautifully formed.


This was the same symbol as the one shown by one of the Outer Gods. Noelle could remember all the details of her symbol without any hindrance. However, the problem was, he did not know how to use it.


That Outer God, just said to implant this symbol into the body of a rat. But how to do it himself he never told.


"What does this mean ... I have to experiment on my own? "


Noelle vexedly scratched the back of her head, to momentarily consider whether she should start it now or not.


He wasn't in too much of a hurry, and he didn't have any questions to ask either. So, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't do his summoning now.


"For now … "


Noelle put the piece of paper on the table, then took one of the mice, and put it on the paper.


The white rat rebelled for a moment, but the flow of magic Noelle let out made her calm down instantly. The mouse lay down on the paper, as if it did not care what would happen to him.


Seeing this, Noelle immediately began her experiment.


First of all, he would flow his magic energy on this symbol, and see if any reactions were produced. If not, then he just needs to find another way.


That violet-colored magic energy radiance spread out for a moment, but all of it was then absorbed by the paper as if some force was pulling it.


The symbol that was on the paper shone for a moment, then extinguished as if nothing had happened.


"Nothing happened, but .. I can clearly feel my magic on this paper.


Due to the sedative effect that Noelle injected with her magic, the rat did not rebel in the slightest. Noelle gently lifted the rat up a little, then wrapped her small body with the paper earlier.


"It's a risk to kill him, but .. I wouldn't know the result without experimenting."


Sighing for a moment, Noee then raised a finger, and lit a small fire on his fingertip.


He intended to burn the paper, in the hope that the symbol engraved on it would 'stick' perfectly with a mouse.


The paper wrapping around the rat caught fire, and a charred smell accompanied by a small scream from the rat appeared.


The phenomenon lasted for a while, until finally the paper had been charred with no residue, and the mouse woke up with slightly charred hair. Lalu—


"Ohh, I'm finally connected. Good, you did well."


—A voice that was as miserable as that of a boy appeared in Noelle's head. It's exactly like telepathy, but the sensation it gives is very different from the telepathy Noelle ever did.


"Are you … "


"No need to make small talk. I'm sure you've got a guess about who I am. Straight away, what do you want to ask? "


The other party had already confirmed that he was the identity that Noelle had guessed.


" … Why do you know that I want to ask you something? "


"Not something, but a lot. I'm sure you'll ask me a lot. How would I know that? Heh, you biological creatures that like to breed are still too stupid to fool me. Your face shows me everything I need to know."


The mouse stood up and squeaked at Noelle. It looked directly at his eyes, but not a single hint of intimidation had managed to get him out.


Right now, Noelle was anxious to say rudely, but considering the other party was a god, she immediately threw away the thought.


"All right, you win. First question, who are you? "


"Hmm? Are you sure you want to ask that? I'm sure you know me enough. Is that not enough? "


Noelle's forehead twitched, but she kept trying to maintain her composure.


"I just want to find out from your own point of view. From what I know, you're a god, right? Something like an Outer God, or something."


"All right, that's a good question. I'll answer it."


The rat returned to his position—walked on four legs, and approached the iron cage where he had been held before.


"It's not hard to explain. But, I am a creature that you all refer to as a god. But, I am not the original god of this world. I am the god of the 'outer world'. 'Another world', 'another dimension', 'space' .. You have many names for it, but we have one more proper name."


"Whatis that? "


The white rat that was made into the container was silent for a moment, as if it was waiting for the right time to continue his words. Then, he turned around, and looked at Noelle directly with his eyes.


"Cosmos."


The two pairs of red eyes were staring at each other, as if they were analyzing each other's thoughts. However, there was nothing to be read from a mouse, and Noelle's mind was completely messy at the moment, making it impossible to read clearly.


"Kosmos .. Isn't that … "


Noelle was no stranger to the term, but she was also not familiar with it.


From what he knows, the cosmos is a system in a universe that is orderly or harmonious. Which meant, if this 'external world' in question was the same as the 'cosmos' that Norlle understood, then this would bring a lot to Noelle to think about.


There used to be a civilization that was not much different from what is now. What distinguishes it from the present era, a race with intelligence that lives in that civilization there are only two, namely humans and dragonoids.


Anastasia said that the civilization was almost destroyed by the attack of monsters from space. However, considering many things, Noelle came to the conclusion that monsters could not possibly survive in space.


It could be, the monsters that Anastasia was referring to back then, were the 'Outer Gods' who were visiting.


Of course, unfamiliar and unidentified entities such as gods do not need basic elements such as oxygen to survive.


This was indeed only a temporary conclusion that Noelle made, but the truth percentage was also quite high.


While keeping her expression neutral, Noelle began to organize all of her thoughts.


(It seems I haven't been able to ask about the past history of this world, but .. I guess I can still ask you some important things .. )


Based on what 'She' had said earlier, Noelle could assume that she was allowed to ask more than one question.


"The next question; when we stormed the island .. Why did you send us into the dungeon? Is it because we happened to be on top of the dungeon you made? "


"The answer is no. I really just created that dungeon after you all arrived. About why I sent you all there, I'm sure you already know the answer."


Noelle already had a strong guess about this, but she was still unsure. Now, the figure in question has given confirmation confirming his conclusion.


One by one the answers to her questions were revealed, and this made Noelle happy. Almost, he lost control of his expression and blatantly confessed that he needed that information.


"In cooperation with Voyager, yes ... Then, does that mean Terneth has really joined them? "


Noelle had expected that Terneth had something to do with the Voyagers, but she still did not expect that he would actually join the organization.


After a long silence, the mouse finally spoke again.


"Just as you think. The creature joined us. But, he was left to join because the higher-ups needed something from him."


"He joined just because he had what the higher-ups needed, huh ... Then, why did you give him help, to 'them' all? "


"The answer is simple; for I cannot resist."


That answer made the defense of Noelle's expression collapse completely. He frowned, and looked at the white rat with suspicion.


"What does that mean ... They make you do nothing but obey? "


"That's right," the mouse replied briefly as he nodded his head once.


The situation was more frightening than Noelle had expected.


Previously, he had never expected that the Voyager party could make one Outer God obediently. But, the proof was already before him right now. There is no point in doubting all of that.


The mouse turned around, and continued, "Unfortunately it's not just me. Several other foreign entities were also trapped and forced to do as Voyager commanded."


Now everything is confusing. Noelle wouldn't be surprised if a Voyager-class organization could control a country. However, controlling more than one Outer God figure was definitely something beyond reason.


"But ... From what I see, you still have a little freedom to act, huh? By harnessing your power, Terneth could have directly wiped out all of us back then. But, he didn't do it. It's because of you, isn't it? "


"You guessed it well. Thank goodness you're a little smarter than those primates. You're right, they can't hold us back completely. But, even if we can move freely, it doesn't mean that the seal they use is weak."


"Seals … "


What seal can be used to conquer the Outer Gods? Noelle could not imagine it.


"I don't know what they're using as the seal, but .. I guess I already have a guess for it."


(Gh .. )


Noelle could already guess what would happen next.


"They plan on creating, and opening something they call Pan-dora using angel feathers."


"Angel feathers? "


For a moment, the image of the angel who had descended on Eisen instantly came to Noelle's mind.


"Angel hair is what they're looking for. There's no need to make small talk, I know that you're an Asterisk member, so I'll say it right away. You know about the angel weapon creation plan, right? "


Noelle did not answer, but merely nodded.


"The plan for the creation of this angel weapon, requires something called an angel feather to be the catalyst. I don't know for sure, but they seem to be planning something with all those weapons. Well, I don't even know if it's really a weapon or not."


"Angel weapon … "


If what 'She' said earlier is related, then it is easy to guess that the Pan-dora in question is an angel weapon. However, for some reason Noelle felt unsure.


When it began to concern the matter with Voyager, his head was always in pain from having to think about many things at once.


"Alright, enough talking about them. I can't maintain this condition any longer. One thing I want to say, is that you have to be careful. You're in the Republic, the place where the core members of Voyager are based."


"I'll call you later, to discuss a deal. For now, feed this mouse immediately. He really lacks nutrition! "


With that voice echoing in her head, the figure that possessed the rat immediately disappeared, and silence re-established the living room of Noelle's still pitch-black apartment.
