Chapter 272: Another Meeting with the Worlds Will (1/2)
”Whatever it is that's currently running on your mind, perhaps you're not wrong. I'm possibly evolving. My thoughts have started to be muddled like how you people sometimes decide illogically. Also, I am observing you and I am thinking the same thing you just thought before coming here.”
The silver-haired World's Will opened her mouth after reading my thoughts.
I can't help thinking about it so… it's inevitable. Either way, for her to admit to it… Is this a process which every World's Will will go under at one point or is this a unique state of hers?
”I have an inkling about what is happening to me but I won't tell you about it. You have a lot on your mind. Telling you about it will just add to that.”
Huh? When does a World's Will be this considerate? This is really new and confusing as well.
”No. Really. Like you said, I already have a lot on my mind. Adding another will not really matter. What if I can confirm that suspicion of yours?”
”You will not be able to confirm it and most likely, you'll just add another question.”
”If you don't tell me, I will just keep on making guesses.”
”You're a persistent man, huh?”
”I guess I am. You're considered the manager of this world. Who knows? What if you've already been swayed by the enemies and allow them to assimilate this world in your own volition?”
Of course, that's a far-fetched guess. It's just to make her worked up. I already have a few guesses that were probably closer if I considered the information I collected.
”Are you insulting me, Daisuke? That will never happen. No sane World's WIll is willing to be assimilated. I will vanish if that happens.”
Are World's Wills sane at all? Apart from her, the two I managed to interact with were all at the two ends of an extreme. One was too paranoid while the other one was too reclusive.
”Am I really talking to a World's Will or a real person?”
”Believe what you will.”
”Since you won't tell me… Let me put out a guess. Is it because of the rise of the native Transcendents?”
If she acknowledged this, it could mean one thing. This World is on its way to becoming a Transcendent World which means… This is a Natural World. The World's Will or to be accurate, the World itself is benefiting whenever someone becomes a Transcendent.
”Is that a guess or is that what you really think?”
”Both?”
”I can't really be sure. However, you're close.”
”I see. The Energy here appeared denser than before…”
”And that's the result of the successful Transcendence. Every time someone else manages to pass the Transcendent Trials, this world is benefiting from it. My denizens who are lower a lot weaker than the strongest native will have an easier time to go up the ranks due to the denser Elemental Energy they brought upon this World.”
Now that I think of it… 'The World' at the World of Systems enhanced every denizen when Yuko became a Transcendent. That could be related to this. It got stronger because of Yuko. When it was Zerina's turn, it didn't give out any more stats. However, I haven't checked if the energy became denser than how I remembered it.
She's right. I got another thing to think about…
”Enough about that. During the week, two of their Transcendents descended again. The two were among their current level, however, as you have witnessed my Incarnation's state before, the traps they placed are deadly. It's deadly enough even for a Rank 2 Transcendent like your Luxian woman.”
Since I was left overthinking about the things she just said. The silver-haired woman continued speaking.
”If you already observed and arrived at this conclusion then good... However, if you still haven't then I'll tell you about it now.”
”The enemies… You can see through the halting of their activities that they don't really care about their Mortal Ranks or the Noxians who became subservient to them. That's the reason why those who wanted to switch sides can move that freely. They thought they're cleverly bypassing their notice but the truth is… the Dark World Transcendents don't really care about their lives.”
