"Nothing is happening…"

I expected that the attack would continue, but from the look of it, the skeleton dude appeared to have given up on killing me for the time being.

I didn't sleep all night just to make sure that they weren't waiting for that to happen before attacking me.

However, far from anything happening, the night was calm and peaceful.

"Hmmm… Did you stay up all night? You were acting weird yesterday too, did something happen?"

Seeing me sitting on a sofa in the spacious living room, Blanca deduced that I didn't sleep. Well, I didn't change my clothes and I didn't move, so I looked the same as how she saw me before she went to sleep.

"Not something that you should be concerned about, and get dressed. We have a lot to do," I said, looking at Blanca who was still in her Pajama. She complained about how they looked childish but after getting used to how comfortable they were, she ended up wearing them while sleeping.

"Okay. You look kind of determined. I am really wondering what's up with you. Not that I care though," Blanca mumbled and headed to the kitchen. "Cristal, what do we have for breakfast?"

For some reason, she got used to seeing Cristal and even began to talk to her and ask her various things.

I appreciated the fact that Blanca wasn't the kind of person who would not pester me with a lot of questions though.

'I look determined, huh… Well, I might have ended up fighting extremely powerful beings that were probably stronger than me. At the same time, I was a little excited to see how well I could do against them, and I was also determined to not let the thought of losing cross my mind.'

Therefore, the fact that I was sitting in the same spot where I sat the night before made me question various things.

'If the Shadow King of the Empire didn't make his move yet, could it be that he had taken my presence into consideration and had already adjusted his plans? If that were the case, then I might be up against a truly tough opponent. They appeared to be a few steps ahead of me, and I don't like the sound of it.'

Nonetheless, there was also the possibility of them not taking notice of me. If that was the case, then things would make sense until now, but the problem was that the skeleton dude appeared, and something as cunning as them should be at least be aware of the skeleton dude's appearance even if they didn't notice me.

Hence, they should be already looking for me, but the fact that they didn't do so yet make me feel uncomfortable.

I didn't like the feeling despite knowing that they weren't able to follow everything I was doing. If they were aware of my presence but decided to jot do anything, things would get trickier from there.

After all, it implied that no matter what I did, it would not affect their plan. No matter what happened to the Empire, they would still achieve their goal.

And this would also mean that no one in the Empire was aware of this plan, so I wouldn't find any answer. The only clue for me to prevent whatever they were plotting was only from what Pride said.

Therefore, I needed to solve the mystery behind the question, 'how could one girl could destroy the world?'

'However, I should adjust my plans based on the fact that they already know everything about me. It looks like this will be a battle of wits. I should make sure that my enemy can't take advantage of my weakness.'

'My biggest weakness is my family, and the people I like.'

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to able to grasp the concept behind teleportation yet, so I couldn't use that to rush to them if something happened.

'If something happens to them, I would probably destroy the world though, so for the time being, I should focus on what I can do and improve, instead of focusing on my weaknesses. Liu should be fine for now… She hasn't fully awakened her power yet. I should keep an eye on her though.'

Next, about the participants in this multiversal bloodbath. For some reason, some of them have something, or the ability, to locate tree fragments.

From what I deduced, the Tree fragments emitted sort wavelengths that could only be detected using these special things.

This frequency could transcend dimensions and universes. Therefore, it was not used to hide as long as I couldn't find a way to block this wavelength. The Antimatter did the job before, and that was why I wasn't discovered until now, but after bringing my astral body to this world, every time I used my power, a part of it was leaking out.

It was faint but it looked like some beings were able to detect it. To think that they were so desperate about it.

"Sigh…"

If all of my assumptions were right, it looked like Empire was closer to its end than people thought.

"Mmm… People, world… What was Pride referring to when he used the word world. In his lyrics, MJ referred to people as the world, and it made sense. In that case, if all of the intelligent life forms in this universe were to perish, could that be also considered destroying the world? Something similar to what T*anos did… Hahaha, I might be thinking too much about this. It kind of funny though when I am experiencing it."

"What are mumbling? I've been watching you for a while now. Want one?"

I already noticed Blanca sat in front of me, but I ignored her as she was eating her pancakes happily

"Sure."

I ate the pancakes along with Blanca. It tasted great, making me forget all of that complicated stuff for a bit.

"What are we going to do today?"

"Well, I am going to finish the test quickly and deal with various things in the background. You have to monitor some people though. Cristal, give her the files."

"Roger."

"Mmm… I just need to observe them?" Blanca asked, looking at the pictures and data of some of the participants.

"Yeah, make sure that you don't miss anything and report to me if they do something suspicious. The way you are now, you should also be able to assess their abilities to a certain extent," I explained.

"Okay. Apart from that?"

"Mmm? That's all for now. The reason why I am asking you to observe them is for you to get some ideas about the people we will be dealing with in the future. It's important."

"Do they have something to do with the fragments?" ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢

From the way she talked, it looked like Blanca had somehow realized that she was just lazing around lately, and so she wanted me to entrust her with some important tasks that would make her feel that she was working. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

All of this time, she had a mission and it looked like she never took a break, so I guessed that she found it weird that she had the time to discover and enjoy new things.

It was not like I didn't want to ask her to perform important tasks though, it was just not the right time to make our move.

"Yes, everything is for the sake of finding the fragments. We might not even have the time to breathe in the future so let's take it easy for now, and make sure that everything we do brings us closer to our goal, "I replied.

"I know that, but I am worried about my sister too. What if we are too late? What if she needs my help?"

All of sudden, Blanca's tone and expression had changed. It seemed like I still lacked the ability to understand her.

In the end, Blanca was also a person with feelings even if she was stronger than most people.

"Unfortunately, I can't promise anything. However, we are sure to fail if we don't do anything. That's for sure. What do you want to do?"

"I…" Bianca took a deep breath and then she wore her usual expression on her face. "I won't give up."

I didn't know what kind of relationship Blanca had with her sister, but it felt like her sister was someone important to her. Therefore, I was wondering about the nature of her mission, as well as the person who asked them to perform the tasks, and also how they were formed and raised to become the warriors they had become.

After all, the woman in front of me never doubted that she was doing the right thing and that her mission was so important that she would risk her life to complete it.

"I am glad to hear that you are determined. Things may take a nasty turn sooner than you think so having this kind of mindset is not never a bad thing," I said with a smile.

I wasn't the person who could comfort someone else, but I guess I could at least try.
