BXBX NOVEL Chapter 325 - What Is He, Really?
-----
After having acquired everything he could get from the world\'s core, Noah quickly decided to go back to the surface.
However, he was stopped by the world\'s core.
"W-Wait!" she cried.
"What is it?" asked Noah.
"Well… I was thinking that there could be another way to assist you. Could there be a possibility of letting me aid you with your System? It is amazing how you were capable of stealing the System Cube that made up your System Status and corrupted it with your Blood Core into your own System… And you even did the same with the rest of your allies, all of humanity has now changed their system to this one… Could it be possible for me to insert some of my power into your system to aid you through there? I am a novice at system management, but I really want to learn more," said the world\'s core.
Noah squinted his eyes.
"How could I let you do that without a good reason? Even less as I don\'t trust you, even after what you\'ve done. What if you enter my system only to sabotage me and I end up losing my Skills and power? Even more, to do that, I would have to let you enter my soul, something I would never do. If you enter my soul and use your powers, I could die! Do you take me for a fool?" asked Noah. Although Earth didn\'t have any bad intentions, Noah was way too cautious to let a stranger enter his soul and do all sorts of stuff in it.
"I understand your cautiousness but… I could help you assess the energy you\'re accumulating and perhaps even more things! Come on… You don\'t have to be so overly aggressive nor cautious against everyone…" sighed Earth.
"…I will consider it," sighed Noah, as he flew away.
The world\'s core sighed.
"Hahh… This Hero is way too cautious… What good would it do to be to actually sabotage him? Is he insane or something? Why would I do that to the last hope I have? The only thing I desire is to help him as much as he wants and yet he treats me like this!" she sighed.
"Don\'t listen to him, perhaps he\'s just a tsundere!" said another of earth\'s minds.
"Oh, right… Maybe he will open up to me after we talk a lot and become partners. Like those types of characters that show their cold exterior but have soft interiors," said another of earth\'s minds.
"True! …Though, looking at his history… let\'s not get our hopes up, shall we?" they sighed.
"Yeah, we better not try to think that he will slowly open to us, he might never do so…"
The earth\'s core continued to talk with herself, as a being made over a millennium, her power was immense but so was her mind, which was not limited by a human\'s brain capacity, it expanded all across the planet and due to this, she had hundreds of split personalities made into separate minds. In a way, it could be said that Earth is a hive mind of split minds made by the core. Each one had a different task in maintaining the world, so they would usually not speak between each other, but speaking with Noah and being with him had ended frustrating all the minds, so they were talking with each other more than they had ever done so.
"Seriously, we gave him the Holy Grail and everything and he was still so rude with me!"
"Yeah… Such a rude hero!"
"Why can\'t it treat the planet where he was born a bit better?!"
"We are not asking for anything else than a bit of respect, not even that, just some basic decency!"
"So rude…"
"Is he really just a cliché villain archetype, or an edgy teen?"
"I don\'t think so, maybe his mind is way too filled with things he\'s thinking about, so he doesn\'t want to bother himself with me…"
"Oh… Maybe? Well, whatever, let him be…"
"Hopefully, he\'s not that bad with us later on…"
As Noah was Summoned by a clone back to Sector D, he quickly deposited his Divine Realm over this place and entered his Divine Realm at long last. Only a few minutes passed since he did all of this, but he was getting tired. Thankfully, he had not accelerated the time of his divine realm through this ordeal, and had left it at normal 1:1…
But now that he was inside, he decided to quickly manipulate his authority over it and make it even faster inside, being 1:8, the maximum amount of time dilation he could do at the moment, which meant that 1 hour outside was 8 hours inside.
This way, he was able to relax for the moment while the world outside seemed to go slowly, although it was merely the other way around! Nonetheless, Noah felt like he could finally relax, so he rushed back to his castle where he met with Iris once more, the only person he wanted to be with now, and the two sat over the bed.
"Ah, dear, you\'re back! How did it go?" she asked.
"It was a rather insane trip… But it went well. God had somehow become me… Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous. And well, the world\'s core had the, hear me out, Holy Grail, which is used to forge a new spear for me using the fragments of Excalibur…" said Noah.
"E-Eeeh?! What? I-I see… It went well, I guess… But that\'s crazy!" said Iris.
"Indeed. This is the new spear," said Noah, as he showed off his new toy to his wife, Iris crimson-red eyes that resembled two beautiful rubies opened wide open as she saw her husband\'s new weapon!
"Amazing, this is… a deserving weapon for my husband, no less! And its ingredients were… the Holy Grail and the Excalibur fragments? It must be very strong…" said Iris.
"It seems to be, but most of its power is yet to awaken, I must develop myself to make it develop more," said Noah.
"So cool…" said Iris.
Noah and Iris continued to chat through the rest of the day, speaking with his wife always calmed the troubled mind of Noah.
However, he didn\'t know if it was okay to tell her about the whole thing about being a child of Azathoth yet…
