"Speech"
Arc 1: The eting - 8
I hate this world so much. It has been an hour since we ca here, and things are crazy. What is worse is that Nyarla and I end up in the central location of the storyline for the first part, aka Brockton Bay, and I nearly had to beat up a few gang mbers due to how unrestricted they are making a ruckus openly the mont they see Nyarla.
In addition, rumors have already begun about us so fast that I'm damn confused about why that happens. Since we have done nothing that caused the sudden interest other than Nyarla's appearance—fuck, it is because Nyarla's appearance is the main reason for the sudden interest. Furthermore, I can't forget how Nyarla's existence alone draws all the bad things everywhere she goes.
"So, you're being chased by bad n?" Nyarla asks the little girl that's tagging along with us for protection.
The little girl in mind is Dinah Alcott, the niece of Brockton Bay's mayor and a powerful precognitive. She has the ability to see the likelihood of sothing occurring in the future, which her power resolves into a percentage chance. She does this by perceiving trillions of possible universes and sorting them into groups based on a single event.
If soone asks Dinah a question, she does not have to answer that question. However, she could instinctively look at assorted futures in response to a question. For this reason, she appreciates if other people can avoid phrasing things as questions. If Dinah lies about an answer provided by her power, it sses up her power for a while, likely because actions relating to this answer affect the results.
Her power was not absolute; it could be affected by "stoppers" likely Thinkers who have powers that can cause the actions of others to change.
"100% chance of being captured if I leave you two and lots of bad things will happen to afterward." Dinah replied instantly. "Please, help . I don't want to be taken away by bad n."
"I see." Nyarla nods and then looks at with excitent. "This is like a quest in one of the video gas I played."
I sigh; of course, she would treat this as a ga because, in her eyes—it is.
"Okay, Dinah, was it? How long until you need to stick around with us until the bad n go away?" I ask Dinah, and I know that Coil will be a pain in my butt unless Boss take the matter into their own hands or Nyarla's original ego does sothing. Otherwise, I will have to go full-on blazing glory on the guy with everything I got.
Besides Nyarla's appearance, Dinah is another major factor for people spreading rumors about us. Okay, I could be wrong about that part since not many would know about Dinah's background of being the mayor's niece.
I notice the stares Nyarla is getting. Yup, it's definitely Nyarla's appearance alone that's causing rumors to fly around so fast. Unless this is Coil's doing?
If I rember correctly, Coil's power grants him the ability to 'split' the world into two tilines. He can then do whatever he likes in either tiline, collapsing the least ideal tiline and keeping the tiline he wants. In actuality, his power does not create multiple tilines but is instead a powerful form of precognition. His power simulates the two possible tilines he would go through in vivid detail, then predicts which tiline he would choose to keep. Coil's power then 'autopilots' him through the actions he takes in the tiline that he chooses, lasting until the end of the tiline, at which point he can use his power again.
However, one of the major downsides of this power is the fact that ti still moved forward in his tilines, preventing him from simply simulating the entire day ahead of ti and proceeding from there. No matter what, Coil is forced to pick one of his tilines.
"I... I don't know?" Dinah spoke up, snapping from going deep into a monologue as she stared at like I was sothing exotic and not human.
Hey now, why are you looking at when you should be looking at Nyarla?! She is the one that isn't human!
"Okay, let rephrase the question. How long until you're safe if soone were to take care of the cause of your problems with the bad n?" I ask Dinah, curious to see what would happen if I, or soone, dealt with Coil before I left this world with Nyarla.
I have a guess why Dinah doesn't know the answer to the previous question. Since Nyarla and I aren't staying in this world for that long. But also the fact that we're an anomaly in this world.
"100%; I'm safe from the bad n if soone takes care of the cause within an hour." Dinah replied straight away.
"What is the chance of surviving after an hour if I deal with the cause of your problem?" I asked because I'm not quite comfortable that I'm on a ti limit, especially within an hour from now.
"I don't know." Dinah replied, but now she was looking at weirdly. Then wince, causing her to grab her head in pain.
Well, that answers the question of whether Dinah's power works on or if it's just related to Nyarla.
"Hey, are you alright?" Nyarla frown as she looks at Dinah, not out of concern but sothing else that I can't place my finger on.
"80% fine. Gah..." Dinah answered straight away again, but this caused her more pain.
Ah crap, I forgot Dinah's power limits her from answering how many questions. Especially the number of questions she could answer in the early stage, and right now, it's the 4th question she answered. Compared to a few years from now, when she can answer around 40 to 50 questions per day with her power.
"How-" Nyarla was about to ask another question, but I stuffed her mouth with a cookie that I quickly pulled out of my shadow. Shutting her up instantly as she happily ignores Dinah to focus on eating the cookie.
I extend my En's range to find the rcenaries under Coil's payroll, and to my surprise, upon discovering all of them are driving further away from where I am right now. Also, I see the Undersiders running off after raiding the bank and facing off the Wards and so help in the forms of Glory Girl and Panacea.
Oh, today is when Dinah gets kidnapped by Coil's n while Undersiders are used as a distraction.
Weirdly, Coil didn't make his rcenaries continue pursuing Dinah. I honestly thought I had to fight them, possibly kill them, depending on how loaded they were in firearms. Then again, it's a high possibility sothing happened in a different tiline that caused Coil to react this way. That's my only guess right now.
Huh? How co the Undersiders are heading over here? Did Coil not tell them to get far away as possible?
It didn't take long before they appeared before us, which was plenty of ti for to distract Nyarla by giving her a small bag of cookies to snack on. I will have to make her sothing healthy later to balance out the sugar in those cookies. No matter how much she says all the fats go to her boobies. There should be a limit, but I could be wrong.
Seeing those large monstrous dogs ntioned in the novel and seeing them before in person could easily tear the average adult man to pieces. I should be afraid but after just 2 days of being Nyarla's caretaker. They weren't that scary at all. Although, I can't say the sa for Tattletale. She is shaking like a leaf; even the large monstrous dogs, including their master: Rachel Lindt, known as Bitch by her allies and Hellhound to her enemies, have scared looks on their faces.
Everyone on the Undersiders' side is too frightened at the mont. I don't need to know whatever they were told on the way here from Coil to understand; I, or Nyarla, must have done sothing crazy scary in the other tiline and maybe different possible tilines to scare Coil nearly to death in this main tiline we're in.
Even so, I better take care of Coil as my good deed for the year or sothing on that line.
"Divine Dogs." I form the familiar hand sign to summon the two wolves, causing Hellhound to let out a whimper with her dogs upon seeing Divine Dogs. "Hunt and devour." I made sure to lock onto Coil's aura and use that to help the Divine Dogs to find him straight away as they lted into the shadow and rushed over to Coil.
Tattletale begins to sob, which is weird; everyone looks more scared than ever. While Nyarla, on the other hand, is enjoying her cookies without a care about what's happening around her.
Not even 3 seconds later, the Divine Dogs returned and didn't co back empty-handed. In their mouths are Coil's remains; a head with a horrifying look on its face and a half-eaten heart.
Nearly everyone in the Undersiders threw up on seeing what was in the Divine Dogs' mouths. Hellhound and her dogs look at the Divine Dogs in awe and respect.
Dinah, I made sure to block her vision. No need for her to experience more horror in this world; well, not at her age. Then again, her life will never be the sa since she triggered and beca a Cape.
"Holy shit, that's hardcore...!" Regent, the one with a Venetian mask, was among that who didn't throw up and looked at the Divine Dogs in awe. If anything, the fear in Regent's eyes from before didn't even last that long.
I can't say the sa for the others. Especially Tattletale, she is already at the point of fainting if it wasn't for her holding onto the large dog she is riding with dear life. Though, I'm curious if her power would work on . I know it wouldn't work on Nyarla; no question about it. However, I shouldn't underestimate Tattletale, as her power are deadly when used in the right situation.
"So, what did you guys need from us?" I ask the Undersiders while handing Nyarla another small bag of cookies, but this one is less sugary. Yet, she gladly ate them still, with how she snatched them right out of my hand before I said anything.
Grue, the supposed leader of the Undersiders, also included among that who threw up a few seconds ago, has taken a few steps forward in front of his team.
"Our forr boss told us that we're under your control now." Grue reported with a shakenly voice. One could tell he wasn't happy with this news, nor could he do anything about it, going by the hint of despair in his tone.
"So bossman, you look like soone who doesn't hesitate to kill and is not afraid of others coming after you with you being unmasked and everything. Do we have to unmask ourselves or what?" Regent asks the most important question for the Undersiders, causing nearly everyone to break into cold sweats.
Well, I forgot about the whole mask thing in this world. Then again, it hasn't even been a day since Nyarla and I ca into this version of Worm.
