Chapter 455: Memories (1) (1/2)

”Get serious, will you? After all this, this is how you will meet me?”

I had my doubts, of course. Overwhelming Energy Control? That's something every World's Will possessed. When it comes to it, no one in their world could contest them in that field.

My existence might've been seen as a threat by one of them but judging from how the others treated me, that one was just different.

And now this one was showing me something to provoke my mind. If he's the one holding my memories then it's not that difficult to create this scene to confuse me. World's Wills could take on any appearance after all.

Furthermore, no matter how hard I think about it, a World's Will doesn't have a physical body and even more so, it can't be reincarnated. Ever since its inception, it was tied to its world.

Although it's possible for them to cultivate emotions like Worldy or Ele, they're stuck in the world they were managing.

If he's trying to tell me that I am him and he is me then I will call this bulls---…

”Hmm? I see. You're not convinced…” The young boy who looked like the younger me smirked and snapped his fingers.

The current scenery then shattered and was replaced with just a wide expanse of grassy plains, and a clear blue sky.

The World's Will then changed from putting on my younger appearance to an older and perhaps… my adult appearance.

He had long hair that was a bit shorter than my Energy Incarnate form. It was fluttering from behind him while his gaze rested on me.

”This… Is my true appearance. Believe it or not, you will grow up and look like me.”

The World's Will waved his arms and the windy plains stopped.

He stepped forward and closed the distance between us.

He's currently taller than me but looking at his face, it's like I was looking at my future self. His eyes, his expression and the way he speaks.

”If you'll push on that narrative, is it possible that I am your child?”

Upon hearing that, the World's Will sighed.

”Do you think a World's Will can produce offspring? I am born from the Earth itself. From the conception of its Source Energy. I was given emotions and the freedom to think for myself. However, that will not change what I am. I am a World's Will.”

Then what am I? Why doesn't he just give me my memory and be done with this?

The Principal told me that this guy was the one responsible for everything. I came here to get an answer, not to answer his quiz about my identity and why we looked alike.

”Whatever is going on in your mind or whatever Hajime told you before coming here, it's all true. I am the one responsible for ripping your memories off. Ah. No. That's wrong…”

”Why is it wrong? Do you have an accomplice?”

”Correct. And that accomplice is you. We are responsible for it. You and me.”

After pointing his fingers alternately to both of us, the World's Will snapped his fingers once more and this time, a flash of light was produced from it which instantly seeped into my forehead.

With his curved lips being the last thing that was registered on my eyes, a curtain of darkness draped over my consciousness.

I see.

This is it.

The memory that was ripped off from me.
