Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 245 Revelations And Revelations
'I don't think having a great idea is enough. I believe that dedication and willingness to put in hard work are more important.'
…
We, both Merlin and I, sat on the chair as we began listening to Themis' story.
It was a bit of a long story, but to sum it up; she was an Angel, before she became a Goddess, who was born with the Nature Fragment.
According to her, she used to see memories and prophecies regarding her task of saving the world and stuff, and I believe it is related to Guardians and Primordials.
Later on, she and her clan was banished from the World of Angels because of a sin her grandfather committed and it didn't just end at that as her entire clan was massacred by the Devils, since an Angel who was banished from their land doesn't have much power, anyway.
She was the sole survivor and the reason she survived was because of her Guardian Fragment, which kind of trapped her here.
Her System told her that only another Guardian Fragment could save her or else she might die. Though the System also gave her a way out of here, if she could give up her fragment to another person.
Though, that would mean leaving from here plus losing her special nature related powers.
So, in the end, she was waiting for a Guardian or a person strong enough to save her from the problems by having the fragment as a blessing.
"Hmmm… what's your deal with Lunas?" I asked, and she answered after a bit of contemplation,
"When I was escaping from the Devils, I ended up being saved by the Luna Princess. As a result, I helped them out with my powers, which were related to vegetation and plantation."
Hmmmm….
"How come you are trapped here, then? I mean, when did you arrive here?" I asked because if she was with the Lunas, wouldn't she be safe already? Why need to trap herself here… or what happened to keep her here?
"That, huh? Actually, it was the Devils again. They attacked the Lunas with whom I was staying and kind of killed most of them," Themis spoke with a sad expression as she felt really bad with what happened before.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!... You are saying that the reason the Lunas were attacked and almost wiped out by the Devils in the previous millennia was because of you?!!" Merlin chimed in with a look of disbelief on her face.
Soon her face turned ashen as she spoke." Do you know how many people died because of your selfishness? My father… my mother…everyone died-"
"They would have died anyway, though," I yawned as I spoke, cutting off Merlin.
Merlin turned to me with a glare, and I continued,
"Honestly, the Scarlets, when they found out about the opposite nature of Luna, kind of waged war anyway. Because I personally know their nature, if Luna would have been as strong as millennials ago, the Scarlets would have waged an open war rather than trying to hunt them every now and then."
"..." Merlin looked at me, as if she wanted to speak something, but words weren't coming out of her mouth.
"Well, that is my story. What about yours?" Spoke Themis and I nodded at her before turning at Merlin for a sec.
"Should I kill her?" Themis spoke without any hesitation, which made Merlin look at me and Themis with a pale expression, but I spoke,
"I need her. Well, I guess it can't be helped in this case, so well… whatever…"
And then I began telling bits about how I met Janus and heard about the Guardian Fragment and how I hold one of the Space Guardian's fragments and its effects.
I told her many half truths and fabricated lies, which I would later reveal to her completely once I start trusting her, but for now, I think I will keep them a secret. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
After all was said and done
"Let's see if I can get you out of here then… but before that I have a couple of questions for her," I said as I looked at Merlin who just looked at me with a slight gulp making me chuckle at her.
"I will be honest with you cause I really need to build a trust-based relationship with you and not a business minded one here. Or else, all of us will die." My tone turned serious and so was her expression.
"I need your help with dealing with the Laurentz and later on building a strong force to develop in the Western Continent. I will give you all the resources and paths to reach that goal, but in return I want to have equal power, which you will hold over the Western Continent in the end. I can't manage both the continents at once, so I need you to do that for me," I spoke, and she looked at me with a little of a baffled look.
"Other than that, I want to know exactly what is your relationship with the Lunas right now? I know your blood related elders were Luna and you are one of the last Luna bloodline holders despite being a human, but other than that… what exactly is your current status with them?" I asked and this time her eyes opened up wide with her mouth wide enough to put an egg into it. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
"I.. uh.. how do you…. Who are you?" She tried speaking but in the end spoke only this much.
"Well… I really need to know Merlin… It's kind of important to me," I spoke again with a really distressed voice and she looked at me and then at Themis before sighing,
"All right. I will tell you… but then tell me, how do you know about me? Is it really this easy to get my information out?"
I nodded at her before she looked at me with a bitter expression as she spoke.
"The Current Royal Luna Queen is actually my cousin sister's granddaughter. That is the relationship I hold with her."
