260 LANCES FLAWLESS PLAN (1/2)

Arjun asked, ”Then what about the sword? Where exactly this sword popped out from? And how did it turned you back into humans from stone?”

Princess Shayana said, ” By the time I learned Lance's intentions it was too late. So I contacted the mysterious Voice who appears after anyone awakened their Inner Will for the first time..”

”Mysterious Voice?” , Arjun asked.

Princess Shayana replied, ” It's that mysterious voice who asks us to make a choice between Gate of Light or the Gate of Darkness.”

”Oh! You mean that old bas*ard!” , Arjun said, ” I remember.”

”Old Bas*ard?” , Princess Shayana and others were stunned.

Princess Shayana said, ”Uh....Well... Yes. That supreme existence. I made a deal with him. I asked him to give me a power that could save us from Lance's clutch. But that supreme existence said that I had to depend on myself. I cannot take his help. He said that if I give up on my responsibilities as the Universe Will, he will help me.”

Princess Shayana said, ” Then I had to agree to his terms. I gave up on my power as the Universe Will. In return he created that sword using all our souls. He extracted our souls and created the sword. Then he threw the sword far away from us. He told that one day a person will come and rescue us. We need to pay our utmost respects to that person. And today you came and rescued us.”

”Is that the reason why you people were so respectful towards me?” , Arjun asked.

”Yes.” , All eight of them replied.

Arjun lost in his thoughts,

[So that's how it is?]

[That old bas*ard took away the power of Universe Will from Princess Shayana in exchange for that sword's creation.]

[ He extracted their soul and created that sword]

[ Then both him and Lord Chaos waited for the candidate who can release them.]

[Lord Chaos put me in this Universe because of that promise made by the Ancient Universe Will.]
