Chapter 49 - Changing Fate (1/2)

Within the vast expanse of nothingness normally called the Universe or the Celestial Plane by many people, there lies a white cube that spans a few hundred meters on all sides, with a person inside it being on the level of a God.

That God was actually a Goddess, and her name was Kurohana. This was Kurohana's special space.

Looking at the orb that always broadcasted Aurus' every move, Kurohana nodded to herself as she knew that she made the right choice as to which soul to use. ”As expected from one of the top players of Infinite Stick Evolution. Once his early game memories were recovered, he would now aim to make his base form stronger in preparation for the future.”

At this moment, Kurohana couldn't help but giggle a bit. ”Anyways, it won't be possible for him to reach the level he wants since his fate has already been set.”

Ding!

All of a sudden, a sound that was usually heard when Aurus' system did something, resounded throughout the inside of the white cube, making Kurohana fall into silence. Not long after, she couldn't help but ask herself, ”Where did that sound came from?”

If anyone were to be in the white space right now, they would be smitten by Kurohana's beauty as a goddess even when frowning. But considering the fact that Kurohana looked like a 15 year old that had a bountiful bosom, it was more likely that that person would be arrested in a heartbeat.

Kurohana then tried to search where that sound came from, only for it to come from the orb she used to look at Aurus from afar. Seeing what Aurus was currently doing, which was traversing an extremely long green corridor, she couldn't help but frown as to where it came from.

”Hm. He didn't use his system in these past few minutes, so it could mean...”

At this point, Kurohana remembered the stick that was beside Aurus around half a day ago. It was a stick that had a trace of divinity within it, which was the same as Aurus, having a trace of Kurohana's divinity.

When she first found out that there was another god that found her plans and used it to bolster their own power as well, she couldn't help but get furious as it was her ace in the hole, allowing to keep her popularity as a weapon craftsman.

Letting out a soft sigh to calm her senses, she softly commanded, ”Zoom out.”

Whoosh!

In an instant, the view from orb that was focused on Aurus suddenly expanded to cover the whole inheritance, which was composed of multiple corridors and halls. Looking closely, Kurohana noticed that there was another stick other than Aurus that was tackling the inheritance.

”Is this possibly...?” Kurohana instantly zoomed in on that stick, feeling that her plans were going to be ruined in the future. Looking at the stick from up close through the orb, she noticed that the trace of divinity was extremely familiar to her. Not only that, she also proved that the system sound came from the stick as well, coincidentally seeing that the stick was interacting with a semitransparent screen.

She closed her eyes for a bit, grasping a small hint of the divinity that the stick exuded and used a special divine technique to find out which god knew of her, Kurohana's special world.

Bang!

Not long after, Kurohana's eyes opened up and within it flashed a raging flame that could swallow a person whole. As this happened, multiple white lightning bolts appeared on the periphery of the white cube, spreading outwards as it lit up a small part of the Celestial Plane with an unimaginable brightness.

”That bitch!” Kurohana couldn't help but grit her teeth as she remembered a goddess' face that seemed to be mocking her.

”To think that the Goddess of Kinship, Familia, has caught wind of my special world that allows me to procure special items. Who knows when she would spread it to other gods!”

Still in a fit of rage, Kurohana stood up and opened a rift towards the Celestial Plane as she was heading towards Familia's plane. Her mind was filled with the thought of silence. The thought of silencing Familia once and for all.

”I don't know how she found it out...but I better silence her before it gets worse.”

Whoosh!

At the next instant, Kurohana left her plane, leaving the orb to broadcast Herellia's actions. What she didn't know was that...

This would change Aurus' fate in the future.

...

”[Gale Hover]!”

”[Tempest Burst]!”

Whoosh!

Darting towards the end of the corridor with a temporarily boosted speed of 1.55 kilometers per hour that would last for 20 seconds at most, Aurus was thinking of what to do after finishing the trial and killing the boss of the Lesser Experience Haven.
