[ Ding! The warning! The warning! The system suggests to escape! ]
Coinciding with the appearance of 'he', not only did he give a warning of danger, the system that had been silent also showed many panels of danger.
And Lux (Arthur), the one who was the cause of the appearance of that existence, began to break out in a cold sweat.
'Is this Gaia? Absolutely shocking ...'
In fact, Lux (Arthur) never describes what Gaia looks like. Not only Gaia, but Alaya and Agul are too.
Lux (Arthur) simply describes them as genderless, but they can also modify their gender and appearance.
So, seeing Gaia choose to appear before him as a beautiful mature woman, it was no wonder Lux (Arthur) was shocked ...
..."Thank you for your praise, being praised by someone like you means a lot."...
Lux (Arthur) gasped as the creature in front of him spoke. Although it was unclear, Gaia seemed to be smiling.
But instead of being happy, Lux (Arthur) just goosebumps.
What the fuck? Gaia who hates humans so much is happy when praised by a human being?
..."You're not wrong, I hate humans. I hope they're all extinct."...
As if knowing what was on Lux (Arthur)'s mind, Gaia immediately said coldly and emotionlessly, indicating that she did not have good feelings for a creature named man.
..."But you are excepted." ...
Gaia pointed towards Lux (Arthur).
..."Different from other humans, you are a pretty unique case. No ... You are very special."...
As she said so, Gaia's tone sounded very calm as if she had a certain feeling for Lux (Arthur) ...
Hearing that, Lux (Arthur) did not know if she should be happy and bitter.
Waitaminute! Until now she had only been silent, then how did Gaia know what she was currently thinking?! Don't bilan–
..."I can't read your mind, not completely."...
" ... "
Lux (Arthur) only felt his entire blood turn cold and instantly become tense.
Never once did the young man let his guard down when he looked at that monstrous figure directly.
No, mind reading? Is that true? Lux (Arthur) does make Gaia quite powerful in plot, but can read the mind content of others ... This is beyond her expectations.
Although not completely – Maybe because of the existence of System – but Gaia still remains dangerous because it can read some of his thoughts.
..."Relax, Arthurku. I don't want to hurt you."...
"Do you think I would believe the words of someone who tried to kill me in the first place?"
..."It was my natural response to an outsider being as the Guardians of this World. Aren't you going to react like that in my position as well?"...
"Yes, maybe, but at least, I'll talk to that person first before making a decision."
..." ... " ...
Gaia remained silent.
..."If you're not satisfied, then I'm sorry for that."...
Gaia's expression was unclear, so Lux (Arthur) did not know whether she was sincerely apologizing or not.
But seeing Gaia take a step towards him, Lux (Arthur) expression changed and raised .
"Don't come near" Lux (Arthur) ordered coldly.
Gaia did not stop and continued walking forward. Lux (Arthur) wants to give another warning, but Gaia suddenly disappears from her sight and appears directly in front of her face.
'Quick!'
Lux (Arthur) was very surprised and his body instinctively moved quickly, then the sword unsheathed but–
'What?!'
Both eyes Lux (Arthur) widened.
..."Relax Arthurku. Again, I don't want to hurt you."...
Gaia holds Lux (Arthur)'s hand and prevents him from swinging . The grip is very strong! Strong! And his intent was so strong that he could not move!
You know his Strengths are in Rank A! It was powerful to knock down a floored building with random fists!
But Gaia stopped her movements as if it was nothing.
Not only was it very fast to instantly appear in front of him before Lux (Arthur) could react, but he was also ...
'I guess as expected of Gaia ...'
Lux (Arthur) started to feel trembling.
..."Listen to me, Arthurku." ...
Gaia stared directly at Lux's emerald pupil (Arthur).
..."... If I really want to hurt you, I've done it."...
..."You're strong, probably the strongest Servant I've ever seen. Even the Agent (Grand Servant) of Human Consciousness cannot injure the Beast once it strikes as you do. But you are not yet strong enough to be able to fight me, Master of all Beasts."...
To injure her and even kill herself, only she can, but will Gaia just silently watch Lux (Arthur) release the seal ?
No. gabe. Before release, Lux (Arthur) must have been dead.
Knowing this fact, Lux (Arthur) stops resisting and Gaia also begins to let go of her grip.
But Gaia had absolutely no intention of staying away from Lux (Arthur). Instead, he approached her more intimately.
..."Judging by your reaction ... It seems that you already know my identity ..."...
"Of course, aren't you World Consciousness, Gaia?"
"Gaia? Although I don't know what that means but your guess is correct, I am World Consciousness."
Lux (Arthur) was a little surprised and felt a bit strange.
Does World Consciousness in this parallel world not yet have its own official name?
[ Ding! He replied, Yes ]
Lux (Arthur) is silent. Seriously?...
But staring at the 'Gaia' or World Consciousness in front of him seemed interested in the name he mentioned earlier, it didn't seem wrong.
This parallel world consciousness has no name yet.
And not just World Consciousness, but perhaps Human Consciousness and World Sea Consciousness are the same.
"Gaia is the name of the God who represents the World, the World Consciousness from which I am so named."
..."World consciousness from where you named it?"...
He tilted his head with interest and curiosity.
"Yes." Yeah." Lux (Arthur) nodded. "It is not just World Consciousness, Human Consciousness is called Alaya while World Sea Consciousness is called Agul."
" ... " He was speechless, yet Lux (Arthur) could guess that the figure in front of him was quite surprised.
After a moment of silence, he then asked.
... "Then what's the name for your world?"...
Lux (Arthur) blinked at the question, her eyes narrowing slightly. The First World Name? In his novel, he takes it from Greek. If not mistaken, the name of the novel's world is ...
"Cosmos." Lux (Arthur) replied. "Cosmos has the same meaning, which is 'World'."
He was silent for a long time after hearing that then he said quietly ...
..."Cosmos ... I like it ... And Gaia also ..."...
He repeats the name a few times and Lux (Arthur) can read the various expressions formed on his face.
Between joy, anticipation, and joy.
..."Alright, from now on, this world will be known as the Cosmos and I will also be known by everyone as Gaia."...
After saying that, his figure shone with a bright light, forcing Lux (Arthur) to close one of his eyes.
It took a few minutes before the light dimmed and the King opened his eyes.
"What was that?" ask Lux (Arthur).
..."Nothing, I'm just updating something wrong."...
Lux (Arthur) squinted suspiciously, distrusting his words. It was obviously not that simple, but he refrained from asking because he had to focus on the most important thing at the moment.
"Forget over. Then what do you want from me? There's no way you show up in front of me for no reason."
While Lux (Arthur) is tempted to ask the question why call him with 'Arthurku', but he prioritizes information that feels more useful.
..."I want to make an offer with you."...
"Offer?" Lux (Arthur) asked while frowning.
..."Yeah." yeah." Gaia nodded calmly then extended her hand. ...
..."I want you to be my Guardian World."...
" ... Pardon?" Lux (Arthur) wonders if she didn't hear wrong.
..."You didn't hear me wrong. Be my Guardian World."...
"And why should I?" Lux (Arthur) cringing. "I mean, I'm sure you can find a Servant as strong as or even stronger than me to serve as Guardian World."
..."Wrong." Gaia denied it in a flat tone, "There is no Servant who can be equal to you in this world."...
"Why are you so sure?"
..."Like I said, you are very strong. So far, no one has managed to severely injure the Beast in a single strike."...
..."Also, I hate humans. Do you think I would ask another human to be my Guardian World?"...
Calling a human, Gaia looked extremely disgusted. To him, the creature called man was dirtier than a cockroach ...
But his gaze changed when he looked at Lux (Arthur).
..."Of course unless you ..."...
"... What do you like about me? If it's just strength, I don't think it's enough to grab your attention."
..."All."...
" ... Yea?" Lux (Arthur).
...Gaia looked at him calmly and said: "I like anything about you. Your personality, your looks, your soul, I love everything."...
..."Your existence is a blessing. The world rejoices at your arrival, they cheer happily."...
..."Your existence gives me peace, comfort, and peace ...
...So, I want to have you."...
..."Ever since seeing you swing that 'Sword', you've been mine ... You are my Arthur."...
While saying all that, Gaia's gaze turned obsessive and brought her body without a thread to Lux (Arthur)'s body while her hand caressed the knight's hand ...
Lux (Arthur) fell silent and finally understood why Gaia was not so hostile towards him.
That's because he's the holder .
it is a sword born with the aim of saving the world. So not just anyone who can swing .
There might be a sword in this world as well, but the sword was definitely not the same and not as strong as his sword.
in every world is different. Some are weak and some are strong.
And Lux (Arthur) does not hesitate to claim that - it is one of the strongest swords of all that exist in parallel worlds and infinite universes.
As a human who could swing that strong, it was impossible that Gaia would hate him.
On the contrary, it was no wonder Gaia wanted it.
Also, Lux is not exactly 100% human because it makes her a Demi-Dragon.
..."Hows it? Do you want to be my Guardian World?"...
Gaia intimately placed her head on the shoulder, making the Knight King a little uncomfortable due to the scent emitted from that World Consciousness body ...
What Gaia offered was indeed very tempting and interesting. After all, if he accepted it, it would mean that he was the only human who would become the Protector of Gaia.
Protagonist-level humans alone would not be given this opportunity by Gaia.
As the only human being, He would definitely be treated well by Gaia.
But ...
"I'm sorry, I can't" Lux (Arthur) replied firmly.
Accepting the offer means that he has to stay in this world, but Lux (Arthur) has no intention of staying in this world.
His appearance in this World was to gain the power of Arthur Pendragon, no less no more.
..."Why?" ...
And as expected, World Consciousness, Gaia, asked coldly.
Despite not being able to see it clearly, Lux (Arthur) is convinced that the existence of horror in front of him is unhappy.
"I think you can guess." Lux (Arthur) tries to answer despite her body becoming tense due to the pressure coming from Gaia. "I don't intend to stay in this World forever, I must return to my World."
..."And leave your human master? I don't think he'll agree to part from you."...
"Isn't that also because of your meddling? You limit the use" said Lux (Arthur), the tone is quite cold this time.
" ... "
Gaia did not say anything but she narrowed her eyes.
As previously known, in order for Lux (Arthur) not to be attacked by Gaia, then Alaya and Agul – or now Human Consciousness and World Sea Consciousness because they do not yet have an official name – negotiate with Gaia.
One of the results of the negotiations was that Roxanne could only use three times after summoning Lux (Arthur).
And it is not a day, but a lifetime. In other words after Roxanne uses it for the third time, Lux (Arthur) time in this parallel world comes to an end.
The limit is not just that. If Lux (Arthur) activates by consuming his own [where], not by [where] Roxanne, one will also decrease.
That is what makes Lux (Arthur) refrain from using original force when attacked earlier.
Otherwise, all the 'Shadow' that attacked them earlier would have already vanished in an instant.
Unfortunately for him, no one expected that the Beast would appear, forcing Lux (Arthur) to activate by using his own [where] because [where] Roxanne was not enough to support him.
The outcome? One has been removed. The current existence of Lux (Arthur) can only be maintained by the two remaining Roxanne.
..."The limit is reasonable. No one feels comfortable when a creature as strong as you roam free."...
But as you can tell, it was just Gaia's natural response as a protector of the world.
It's like there's a stranger who suddenly walks into our house and roams around. As a homeowner, you will feel uncomfortable with it.
If Gaia were to realize Lux (Arthur)'s identity after appearing for the first time, she would definitely not limit it.
..."But if you accept my offer, this limit will no longer apply" Gaia said calmly....
'chic ...'
Seeing Gaia take advantage of the situation, Lux (Arthur) is at a loss for words but he also knows Gaia will not give up until she gets herself.
"I'm sorry, I have to reject it again. I hope you stop to ask me ..."
..." ... "...
Just then Lux (Arthur) felt Gaia's hand gripping her hand tightly.
Although Gaia's expression is still expressionless, Lux (Arthur) knows ... The so-called World Consciousness was extremely displeased.
Anyone would be furious after being rejected so many times.
It goes without saying that Gaia. As a World Consciousness, he must have a high ego.
" ... Can you let go of the handle?"
Lux (Arthur) sweats. It's nothing, it's just that Gaia's grip is no joke.
Especially the hand he was holding was his injured hand!
Gaia looked at Lux (Arthur) for a moment. As if realizing the pain, he immediately moved away.
Lux (Arthur) was quite relieved to see Gaia move away, let alone Gaia's appearance which began to fade, a sign that she was leaving, but she also said ...
..."I didn't mean to give up. Other times I'll offer you."...
..."Remember that I do not want you to leave this world because .... You are my Arthur."...
Lux (Arthur) was stunned and smiled bitterly. Yes ... Of course, he knew Gaia would not give up on him.
As the 'person' who created Gaia's personality, Lux (Arthur) knows how stubborn this existence is in getting things ...
"At least, before you go, can you answer my question last time?"
Gaia who heard that, gave a nod.
..."You're my Arthur, of course I don't mind answering your question."...
"Are you the one who sent 'King Ant', I mean 'Beast' that?"
..."You mean the human ant? If that creature is what you mean, then no. From the beginning, I did not have such a Beast and was that strong. That beast is also out of my control."...
And clearly Lux (Arthur) was quite surprised when he learned that fact. "Aren't you? Who is ..."
..."For your question this time, I can't answer it because I myself don't know the identity of the person who can send the Beast."...
As she said this, the air around Gaia seemed distorted, a sign she was a bit upset in this, but she soon calmed down.
..."Do you have any other questions? I gotta get going."...
"No ... There's no."
Lux (Arthur) replied slowly because he was still surprised by the fact that Gaia was not the culprit.
Gaia floated up a little, her beautiful figure slowly becoming more transparent and becoming invisible.
..."Farewell of King Arthur Pendragon, we'll talk again next time. I'm enjoying our conversation."...
With that the figure of Gaia disappeared, but at a glance, Lux (Arthur) saw the inhuman figure lifting the corner of her lips.
Shaking lightly erased that beautiful scene, Lux (Arthur) began to think seriously.
Not Gaia? Then who sent the Beast?
To be sure, only Gaia had the authority to do that.
As for Humanity Consciousness and World Sea Consciousness?
It can't be both of them. Human Consciousness could only send Grand Servants or Top Servants whereas the World Sea was always neutral.
Then who?...
The silhouette of a golden-haired monstrous girl like an angel flashed across Lux (Arthur)'s mind involuntarily.
No, don't tell me it's that girl?...
Lux's (Arthur) body turned cold when he thought of this.
'No, no, it is outrageous that the girl also exists in this parallel world ...'
Lux (Arthur) shook his head a few times while wiping his sweat.
But .... If ... IF the girl really is the culprit then ... The girl's existence is the nightmare of all nightmares ...
