Chapter 170 - Questions (2/2)

”It still might be a coincidence. The Soul Gem System only said that you have a connection that could allow the two halves to merge. It didn't say that the other inhabitants of the other half of the Universe don't have it too.”

Roan looked at the Soul Gem Orb (aka Sister Orb) and asked.

”Does everyone in the other half of the Universe have this necessary connection?”

[No. Host Rean is the only one who possesses it.]Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/questions_48933474379297349 for visiting.

Rean couldn't help but ask.

”Wait, wait, wait! Before, when we said that we didn't want to help with this endeavor, the Soul Gem System said that it would kill us and look for new hosts. In the end, we had to accept it. However, if I'm the only one with this 'special trait,' then how can the system say that it would search for new hosts?”

Roan didn't have to think much to understand the answer.

”I see... You are the only one with this 'special trait.' The system needed to bring you to this side of the Universe to bring this 'connection' with it. However, the system had never said that this thing can't be transferred. If I'm not wrong, the main problem was to get 'it' on this side. Now that 'it' is here, any new host will do. Soul Gem System, am I correct?”

[Host Roan is correct.]

Rean was once again shocked.

”That means I'm just a carrier. Soul Gem System, was I born with this 'special trait,' or was it put inside me together with you?”

[Host Rean was born with it. The Soul Gem System was added a few moments after Host Rean's conception.]

Rean and Roan couldn't help but be confused.

”If Rean was born with it, how can it be transferred to someone else?”

[Because the System has fused with it.]

Only now did Rean and Roan understand. The system and this 'thing' are now the same. If the system leaves, the 'thing' will go with it.

”Very well. Soul Gem System, just what was this thing I was born with?”

[Authority Level is too low, request denied.]

Rean and Roan's mouth twitched.

”You already said so much, couldn't you go a little further?”

[Authority Level is too low, request denied.]

”Sister Orb, that's not you, right?”

Sister Orb felt aggravated.

[I told you, this 'me' that you are hearing now did not answer those questions.]

Rean nodded.

Roan, on the other hand, decided to ask something else.

”Soul Gem System, it seems like I got involved by coincidence too. At the moment, both Rean and I have this connection between us. At the very center of this connection, there is you. You said that you fused with the 'thing' Rean was born with, and now we are all somehow attached together. Does that mean I have it too?”

[Host Roan is correct. This 'connection' with the other half of the Universe is now shared by both hosts.]

Roan nodded.

”I expected as much. Otherwise, I couldn't really see a reason to keep Rean and me together like this. Anyway, let's continue...”
