After Corey spoke, the room beca silent for a few seconds before Ashley sat on the bed, not too far and not too close to Corey.
"What exactly do you want to know?"
Ashley asked and Corey rested his back on the headrest of the bed then replied:
"Everything you know regarding our current world and the top powers of the world.
I know you know a lot or at least more than most, so tell what you know and also about you if you want to."
Hearing Corey's reply, Ashley's brows furrowed slightly before she sighed softly then muttered to herself:
"Now where do I start from."
"How about you start from you. Tell about yourself, your background… That's if you want to. I'm not forcing you."
Corey replied calmly hearing her muttered words.
Ashley looked at Corey for a few seconds before her lips parted open and she spoke:
"Before the apocalypse happened, the people in power knew beforehand that it would happen.
So humans outside the planet ca into our planet and t with world leaders unknown to everybody, even .
The humans told the world leaders about the incoming apocalypse but didn't tell them about the wish screen. At first the world leaders didn't believe them but eventually they did, though I don't know what they did to convince them.
After convincing the world leaders, the humans decided to integrate with the us, the natives of the planet by bringing their religions and forces here.
That's why we have the Temple of Flas which serves their god, Ogun, The Temple of Water which worships their goddess, Oshimiri, The Temple of Earth which worships their goddess, Gaea and The Temple of Darkness which worships their god, Lucifer.
The people that brought those religions were the actual Popes of their religions which is strange whenever I think about it."
As Ashley muttered her last words, Corey replied with a calm tone:
"Yes it is strange but don't go off track and continue the story."
Ashley glanced at Corey and when Corey saw a hint of displeasure in her expression, his lips twitched and he spoke:
"Please."
The mont he said 'please', the hint of displeasure disappeared from Ashley's face causing Corey's lips to twitch once again.
'Won.'
He thought and just as he had this thought Ashley continued speaking:
"Although I ntioned only the popes and the temples, there are more human foreign forces that ca before the apocalypse.
It's mainly due to this foreign forces that the world leaders were able to do a few things, for example, if you noticed, even if the apocalypse happened, you were still able to receive calls and ssages. Communication through mobile phones is still possible.
I don't know what else they did, but that's one."
"When did this foreign forces co to the planet?"
Corey asked with a slightly confused expression, since a thought had been bothering him ever since Ashley spoke about the world's history.
"About 10 years ago."
Anna replied and Corey's confusion increased.
"So they had ten years to prepare but the world still beca like this?"
Corey's words contained a hint of mockery, disdain and disappointnt.
"I'm not entirely sure what happened but when I called my father, he told that the apocalypse was much worse than he expected and that the Universal System cheated lots of people."
Ashley sighed after speaking and Corey had raised eyebrows hearing her words.
"What do you an?"
Ashley glanced at him before fidgeting with her fingers subconsciously, a worried expression could be seen on her face.
"In most movies and novels, whenever there's an apocalypse, it's either a zombie, parasite, disease or mindless monster related apocalypse at the beginning.
But this ti, the apocalypse that happened was much worse.
New Earth is currently split apart and wars are been waged as we speak."
Hearing the anxiety in her voice, Corey kept quiet and waited for her to continue her words.
"When the apocalypse happened, you saw the face with twelve eyes that appeared in the sky and released twelve beams of light to different parts of the world?"
Ashley asked and Corey nodded.
"According to my father, the places where those twelve beams of light landed have beco inhabitable to humans
The places have changed so much, for example, one of such places has beco a place that's always burning, fire rages non stop in that place and it has literally beco hell.
Another place has lightning that continuously strikes the ground.
While at another place, an extrely huge and tall mountain appeared from the beam of light, killing everybody that was in that location.
There were so many changes at the twelve places that it has beco forbidden lands on the planet."
Hearing the words of Ashley, Corey was at first intrigued but then he beca confused.
"Is it because of these twelve places that you said the apocalypse was much worse and that wars were been waged?"
He asked and Ashley shook her head.
"It's not because of that."
She took a pause, then continued:
"After the twelve beams of light were released, portals erged in different parts of the world and different races appeared.
Races like vampires, werewolves, undead, titans etc. appeared in different parts of the world, and if the foreign or native forces in those places were not strong enough to defend their territory or land, then the new races would take over that territory.
So currently wars are been waged, both by the foreign and native forces of New Earth."
"I see."
Hearing the words of Ashley, Corey mumbled while stroking his chin.
"But how co there's no war here? In this territory controlled by the Temple of Flas?"
He asked but then he rembered sothing and spoke:
"We're in the territory of the temple of flas right?"
"Yes we are."
Ashley nodded her head then continued:
"As for why there's no war, my father is not sure but the strange thing is that, in the places controlled by the four temples, the only thing people faced were revenant species and they are relatively weak and are like mobs."
"Also, I think those foreign races are even afraid to go the territory of the four religions."
Hearing Ashley's words, Corey's eyes glinted in a contemplative light before he spoke:
"You said sothing about the Universal System cheating lots of people, what did you an?"
Ashley sighed as soon as Corey finished speaking then a chuckle filled with slight mockery and amusent escaped her lips.
"I don't know if I should say that the Universal System cheated them since honestly, nothing is ever for free."
"What do you an."
Corey's brows furrowed hearing the ominous words spoken by Ashley.
"You know that there are so people that wished to beco gods, the strongest human, strongest devil etc.?"
Ashley asked, her tone containing slight mockery and pity as she spoke:
anwhile Corey nodded and Ashley seeing him nod, continued to speak:
"Well, the thing is that their wishes were granted but the Universal System played them."
"Those that wished to beco gods beca 'gods', the Universal System made them tier 4 beings, they beca gods... but they were rely gods amongst n.
As for those that wished to be the strongest human.
Have you ever heard of a high human before?"
Ashley asked and Corey nodded shocking Ashley.
"You have? Where?"
She asked in a shocked tone and Corey replied nonchalantly:
"I t one crazy old man like this and he told a few things. High humans was amongst them."
"Oh… That old man was probably from a foreign force."
Ashley said and Corey shrugged nonchalantly, not bothering to clear up the misconception.
"Anyway, those that wished to be the strongest humans, were made to be the strongest normal humans on New Earth and their power was barely on par with tier 3 beings.
The worst part of it was that, those that made all those wishes were temporarily unable to tier up, but the duration of the inability to tier up was not ntioned."
"Hmm."
As soon as Ashley finished speaking, Corey's brows furrowed and various thoughts passed through his mind.
At first he found the situation of those who wished to beco extrely powerful imdiately amusing, later, the words, 'Nothing is ever for free' spoken by Ashley made him frown with an uncomfortable feeling.
'What she said is true, nothing ever cos for free.
Unless the Universal System is genuinely a saint and I 100% doubt that.'
Corey thought and decided to put this thought at the back of his mind since at the mont, there was nothing he could do concerning whatever consequences or paynt, the Universal System would give or want from him.
He looked at Ashley for a few seconds then he spoke:
"Thank you for all the information you've given ."
"It's nothing really. You would have learnt about it eventually."
Ashley waved her hands slightly and replied in a nonchalant tone.
"Now that you've told about the world, tell everything you know about the temple of flas and their pope."
