Chapter 645 - Beyonder (1/2)
”You are?” With a rudimentary control of such a humongous physique, Nik's voice could only shake the ground even if he wished to speak softly. The force of his voice shook the purple-skinned fiend's dark hair. His n.a.k.e.d body only belted to hook an ancient gourd that the man pulled out and took a swig of. ”I'm Newton. You've been looking for me, ain't ya? Nice bloodline you got there, no wonder you have attracted so much trouble.” He sat on the ground.
”Considering the force of your voice and that surprisingly minty and cool breath, I'd say speak only when necessary. Instead, command the elements to write your queries. That way, I'd have less headache.” The man stated and lazily sniffed. For a moment, Nik was stunned but he followed the instructions. He had many queries and from what Newton had shown, he seemed eager to answer some of them.
'How did you know I was looking for you? Everyone in the realm said that they hadn't seen you in years.' Words soon emerged on the ground in front of Newton's gaze as he sighed.
”Bud, I sensed you the moment you entered with a few other consciousnesses. It was the marks on your body that made me call you in this realm. Only beyonders can enter here while leaving their entire body and soul out in a form of limbo. Consider yourself as a bloodline itself.” He stated, ”And unlike others who are born without locks on their bodies, at least, the first few, I know what you've been through. Which paradise did you belong to?” He inquired.
'Transmigration Paradise.' Nik replied with written words, only answering when Newton asked. After continuous lessons with Sky and Asmodeus, he had learned not to interrupt anybody at the beginning of the conversation. After all, the advisor may be willing to make a more compelling point later.
”Ha! Reincarnation Paradise!” Newton chuckled, ”We're not that far, it seems. Anyway, I think you have questions regarding your Beyonder bloodline but since I have been a target of oppression by many Rank 9 Fiends of the multiverse, including your uncle, I'll try to screw them over by enlightening another Beyonder of as many things I can.” He smiled.
'What kind of oppression?' Nik inquired.
”You know... a conspiracy to snatch my bloodline here, a trap to finish me off there. That's one of the reasons I left my flesh and took to the spiritual realm. It's peaceful there and I can unlock my shackles in peace. Though, if you think I'd actually sell you my method of unlocking the shackles then you're dead wrong.”
Nik nodded.
”All right, enough introduction. Let me get to the main topic. First off, I'll explain to you the Beyonder Bloodline. This is my past organization's term. Loosely, this bloodline is called Ravager's Form.” Saying so, Newton drank whatever that was within his gourd and pulled out an earthen stick from the ground. In front of Nik's eyes, he drew a small circle and explained, ”The first thing you need to understand is that the innumerable universes, all of them, collectively have one origin. There may be parallel universes with more versions of ourselves and many funky things out there but 'the' Origin. That's only one. I don't know how to find it. I don't know how to access it but the most popular theory is that our bloodlines originate from that one location.”
He tapped the circle.
”Now that origin is explained, let me go through the basic understanding of bloodlines. The world is full of different species. An elephant and a monkey can have the same bloodline. What does this mean? It means that bloodline doesn't define our fleshy body. It's a more spiritual concept.” He then started drawing a line and pulled it for a few centimeters before drawing smaller circles on the same line.
”Now, the closer a bloodline is to the origin, the better the benefits. The farther it is, the harder a life of a species gets. For instance, most of the bloodline stops advancing when getting 98-99% close to the origin. After that, every single step is an important task. Now, if a person is blessed with a form of bloodline far off from the origin, say... 10%. He won't be even able to survive a single day withing his parent's w.o.m.b. It's just that the world and all its form of energies would reject it. That's why most vampires can't get out in the morning despite their strength. Their bloodline is incomplete.”
Nik knew all of this but then, Newton smiled and drew another large circle equivalent of origin at a distance with the 10% circle closer to this one. Then, the man drew a line to connect the origin and the new circle.
”Now this is important. Listen closely. There have been records where a fortunate being is able to reach the origin and connect his bloodline with the origin itself. These are called unique bloodlines. As the name suggests, only one person can have a form of unique bloodline and don't misunderstand it with different names, no. If you have a bloodline with the name— A, that doesn't mean there won't be another bloodline with the name— B. So, for all we know, a unique bloodline regarding mine and yours is already taken and we'll need to kill that horrifying beast and snatch his hard work.”
