Chapter 552 - An Inhuman Pride (2/2)

”No need to thank me I said that I would take you back to your universe safe and sound I don'tthe black cube He then stood up and turned around ”Is there anything else?” He then asked

As Daniel focused his attention towards Rose, the pressure she felt in his presence increased exponentially, causing her to breath to shorten, and for her to fidget nervously as her thoughts went haywire What she did not knoas that this pressure was in reality a psychological trau the appearance of Karma Like a cub weary of its parents, she had developed an instinctive fear of Daniel

After noticing Rose's behavior, Daniel quietly took control over the constructed space around hiirl was unconsciously breathing into a stream of mental pohich immediately calmed her nerves

”I would like to keep my memories” Rose said with a now calratitude towardsa forced smile ”I will hear you out Why should I do that?”

Rose cleared her throat, then added, ”I have witnessed your mental skills And I don't doubt your ability to manipulate our memories, but even if you take us to our sect, or to our families, ill never be safe We are the only lead in the multiverse of your location, and they will beevery bit of information they can about you, the champion of Destiny Or as a champion of Karma If they want to know They will”

While these words should have brought Daniel's illusion of safety cru, they did not come as a surprise He had already expected that in the vast ather information than to simply read someone's memories There was no reason not to believe that a person's re spirit in the spiritual domain could not be searched for information For that reason, he had never put too irls' memories would keep him safe At best, it would earn him some time

”What do you propose, then?” Daniel asked, not anymore in the mood to smile

”We tell the truth” Rose said ”Destiny's charessive nature, and unfathomable powers But that is not a description that fits your character You have been kind to us and you are not as much of a threat as people believe you to be”

Rose's proposition left Daniel speechless While he knew that Rose's oal was to keep her memories of the past events, he could also see that her suspicions towards him had diratitude If she couldn't have convinced the other domains that Daniel was not a threat, she would have at least wanted to remember hie nothing The multiverse would never allow him to live, andthem to In his heart the pride of an aspect of existence had already been born, and that pride would not allow hi any entity that would dare challenge his existence

”I will grant you your wish” Daniel said before esture with his hand, an action that erased the changes he had made to Lilith's and Saha's minds, and restored their former memories

Elated by Daniel's decision, Rose bowed her head instinctively, and when she raised it again, a bright s I can to convince the people of my do-”

”That won't be necessary” Said Daniel, interrupting Rose's words of reassurance He then added, as a golden light flickered in his eyes, ”After the assembly I will deliver you to your universe Once there, you are free to report every detail of the tiether Tell them who I am, tell them what I have done, where we have been, and where they can findI elcome the, Daniel stepped off the cliff and disappeared into the constructed sky, leaving a confused Rose, and a worried Dawn
