Chapter 340 - Realm Of Abezan. (1/2)

”Wait, no Mana?!” Blaze, being the most sensitive to Mana, perked up on Ozul's words.

He was right! There was no Mana in the air!

Blaze looked around confused and a little embarrassed that he didn't even realize such a drastic change around him.

He wasn't alone in his embarrassment, those geniuses from all over the continent were also in the dark until Ozul mentioned it. It couldn't be helped, after all, they were so lost in the confusion of everything that was happening that they didn't even notice that the air did not have Mana anymore.

They all murmured in confusion and directed their eyes towards the only two people in the room who could clear their questions.

”Haha, don't be confused, everyone. We are here precisely to clear your confusion and introduce you to this new world,” the young man spoke with excitement.

”So hurry up! Humans, don't waste my time!” The Sovereign, now in human form, could no longer bear it. She erupted in rage, hurling it at practically everything in her path. If she could, she would have already started burning everything to ashes!

Alas, there was a little problem. She wasn't able to use any of her powers, nor change back to her original form!

She was not only trapped in her human form, but she was also powerless. Her years as the ruler of all Beasts made it difficult for her to take this disgrace in stride.

”Calm down, girl. This attitude may not serve you well in the future,” The old man, who had his eyes closed, spoke to her without turning his head. It was as if he was warning everyone in the room, not just her.

Resentment clouded her mind, but the Sovereign still didn't let that steer her actions and decided to let it slide for now. What could she even do? The once strongest being on the Continent of Egon was reduced to this powerless woman right now.

”Haha, Elder, you know how the Beastkin are at first...” The young man chimed in, bringing the mood back to life.

”Beastkin or not, none shall be allowed to be disrespectful. They must first earn it,” His hands were still calmly resting on the wooden stick as he replied in a severe tone.

Meanwhile, Ozul tried to make sense of everything they said. Beastkin wasn't a thing back in their previous world. 'By his words, it means that there are many Beastkin like her,' he concluded.

Before returning to the main topic, the young man coughed, ”Now, let's get back to the matter at hand. Yes, as you have all suspected. This isn't the same world you used to live in.” He let those words sink in since his 'clarification' had left them with more questions than answers.

”What do you mean, it's not our world?! Are we really in heaven?” Zier couldn't help but question.

”Heaven?” The young man smiled softly as he gazed at Zier ”pfft! I can't say I blame you for thinking that way. That's what the majority of people believe when they first come here.”

”Pay attention to what I'm saying. Except for the Holy Land of Providence, there is no Heaven!” Even the old man nodded earnestly when the young man spoke with such reverence in his voice ”What exactly is this world? It's a land brimming with possibilities! It's called Abezan, and it's one of the numerous realms that exist in the worship of the Holy Land of Providence.”

”The Howling Province is the name of this particular region. It's a crucial part of the Abezan realm since it's here that we link with the 'broken worlds' and bring exceptional people like you out of them.”

”What do you mean by broken worlds? Was our previous world broken?” Raven came forward with a question. As she asked, others also eagerly awaited the young man's answer. Were all of them living in just a broken world before?

”We don't call them broken because they aren't working correctly,” he paused before responding, ”but rather because they were once part of other worlds, such as the realm of Abezan.”

”They were once merely fragments of land that fell out of the realms and established their own Realm Ego, according to history. These Realm Egos are powerful enough to support life on these newly constructed worlds, although being much weaker than genuine realms.”

”Hence we call them broken worlds. The world where you came from is also a broken world.”

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled, when the young man ended. They were all wary of this new knowledge, but given what had happened, it was most likely true. As for how much of it was true, they couldn't be sure.

Before Raven could ask about the mentioned Realm Ego, this time Ozul spoke up, ”Why do you need to bring people out of the broken worlds?”

”That... no one really knows,” the elderly guy, who had been standing with his eyes closed the entire time, eventually opened them a little, stared at Ozul for a second, and sighed.
