Chapter 451: Explanations

-----

The Samsara System has manifested itself through Ervas and Veronica to explain what it had grasped.

However, as it appeared, it quickly went away.

Ervas and Veronica, however, had let this entity speak in their regard to explain things better.

Although everyone felt happy that they found clues about where could Hekaton be, everyone was more shocked about the special System they had which had suddenly acquired a consciousness.

However, it seemed very reserved and not annoying as Systems with personalities usually were in most Novels, but overall, it was very mysterious.

They immediately showed Ervas and Veronica questions about it.

"Ah… Well, we had been sensing that the Samsara System was way more than just a series of divine runes for some time… But it seems that when we ate Hekaton's Familiar Spirits it finally underwent some kind of evolution, and acquired a clearer consciousness of what it is and what it can do," said Veronica.

"Originally, it was simply created to serve us, but the Samsara System has taken a consciousness, and seems to see us as its family. Ah, Kuro also has it, so she is also included…" said Ervas.

"Eh? Me?!" asked Kuro at the side of Veronica.

"Don't worry Kuro-chan, it's nothing bad…" said Veronica.

"But what is really the System?" asked Anna.

"Hm… Well, in technical terms, Systems are made by the combination of trillions of Divine Runes, which are divine versions of Magic Runes, composed of billions of Magic Runes each… they are incredibly complex constructions of pure Divine Power. We can already see how strong Hekaton is by seeing how he can create such a thing with ease…" said Veronica.

"But as they are made of Divine Power, which can create Souls… and because the Samsara System was made by a God whose Divinity is Transmigration and Souls, well, it is easy to guess that it could develop one…" said Ervas.

"The thing is, it developed one after fusing itself with us through the intervention of the Gods from the future Kritias… Probably every time we merged our souls, it became whole by merging its pieces together with each of our souls… Now that it acquired pieces of Hekaton's souls when we ate the Familiar Spirits, it finally underwent a qualitative change to become an entity of its own…" said Veronica.

"This entity is like part of our very beings, just as the Samsara System has fused with us…" said Ervas.

"It was designed so it could connect to the worlds that Hekaton controls and send us there whenever we died. But it has been using the information of such worlds to incentive our growth, and also assimilated all kinds of powerful energies we had acquired, converting them into new types of abilities… (Like my Mech Body Parts Gacha… Although that one was quite too much, I think!)" said Veronica.

"It is now going against its original protocol because it is no longer being controlled by Hekaton, and this Samsara System we have is a copy of the original one too," said Ervas.

"A better copy, I would say!" said Veronica.

"Wow that's a lot to take in, but I kind of get it…" said Jason.

"I-Indeed… My head hurts, peko…" said Pekorina.

"I kind of understood it. I see how it is. Well, I hope it can be a good helper," said Ismene.

"I hope so as well. For now, I wonder if we should give it a name? I am guessing it doesn't really have a gender, right?" asked Anna.

"Yeah, it doesn't have one…" said Veronica.

"It doesn't even have a body, so it's genderless…" said Ervas.

"Then what name can we give it? Oh, how about Samsara?" asked Jason.

"Well there's already an entity named like that, the one that created all Transmigration Gods…" said Ervas.

"Gods? Don't tell me there are more like Hekaton lurking around…" said Shade.

"Yes… There is much spread all over the Universe. I hate to admit it, but their work is essential to maintain the life of many worlds where the Gods there can't properly manipulate Souls. Any Gods that want to build up a world with life require their help… Unless they already have a God good at handling souls with them," said Veronica.

"But we are supposedly in a certain area of the universe where Hekaton dominates, so he has taken over most of these worlds by himself," said Ervas.

"So… how many freaking worlds is he maintaining?" asked Ismene.

"Many… And the power he acquires from their Transmigration Cycles had made him incredibly strong. However, he is limited to his own Divinity, and cannot exceed at anything else that are not Souls," said Veronica.

"I am beginning to think that Hekaton is the real enemy here, seeing how he provoked everything, to begin with…" said Shade.

"He is quite our enemy. Even more, now that he has tried to get rid of us like this. It was simply confirmed now. We'll go to his Divine Realm one day, and kill him," said Ervas.

"Just like my boy here said… He seems to like our long-term goal I guess," said Veronica.

"Kill him? But wouldn't that make many worlds end up without transmigration cycles?" asked Ismene.

"We know, and we'll simply make our own and maintain those worlds," said Ervas.

"We are being quite bold here, but whatever we ate we acquire their power anyways, so it is quite obvious," said Veronica.

"And after that… what can we do?" asked Jason.

"I think that's too much of a long-term planning, until then let's not plan too much ahead. We don't know what might happen right now," said Ervas.

"Ah… I guess you are right, let's plan things as they come instead of planning too much ahead that makes it seems way too unrealistic…" said Jason.

"For now it would be good to eat, my lords. Or the food may get cold," said Lilith, reminding everyone to eat the delicious preparations that she and the other girls alongside Gaius prepared.

"Oh right, we are missing this! Time to dig in for now then," said Veronica with a warm smile.

"Hm, let's enjoy the present for now…" said Ervas.
