"The cursed king of ti… it seems that so versions of made so ss, huh," Aion furrowed his eyebrows.
"You don't seem surprised," Arlana said, and then her smile disappeared. "I read a lot of things about you, but once I found those pieces of information, I couldn't help but doubt them."
"Well, I know myself better than anyone, and I can tell that I would beco ssed up if sothing were to happen," Aion said and then sat down on the ground. "Anyway, I ca to talk about other things, not about possibilities… What do you know about ?"
"Well, you have been the focus of my family since you t Sauros and Seris, but even so, we never found everything about you," Arlana explained. "Like why you have so abilities. Or why you can buy the relics so freely. In theory, only we are supposed to be able to do it."
Aion wondered why that was the case… he had so hypotheses. Still, he needed to hear more from Arlana before deciding anything.
"Do you know what I saw after I used the relics for the first ti to head into the future?" Aion asked.
"No, you probably didn't tell anyone about it," Arlana replied. "What I can tell is what happened in the recent years that are related to you."
"I am listening…" Aion furrowed his eyebrows.
"After you started to use the relics, so changes began to happen in the world, the Zaera kingdom was attacked more often, and you tried to deal with the cause by yourself," Arlana explained after she crossed her arms. "This tiline is the one where you lost your sisters, so you didn't show any rcy toward the enemies… Eventually, the whole world began to fear and hate you. They tried to fight you, but it didn't work… until they got help from outside."
"Other tilines, huh…" Aion muttered.
"Indeed… you tried to use the relics to deal with that, but you used them too much," Arlana said. "Thanks to that, so enemies coming from the beyond ca for your head."
"The beyond… what is that?" Aion frowned.
"I don't know. I just know that they ca for you, and they left the world like this," Arlana replied. "I was hoping that you would find the answers since I heard that they said your na and Malon a lot. What is your connection with him?"
Aion thought that the only connection was the relics and the fact that he and grandma shrimp were friends, but after hearing that, he couldn't help but wonder. Malon left the world to prevent others from using ti magic… So were those beings from beyond creatures from other worlds? Why would they co for him and Malon? Did Malon beco their enemies, and now they want Aion, who had the relics? That couldn't be the only reason.
Aion assud that perhaps… he had been reincarnated because of Malon sohow. He couldn't help but assu that was the case because the samurai class leveled up once he saw that guy's mories… aside from Grandma shrimp, who else would be able to grant him those powers?
Most likely, Malon was overpowered eventually after thousands of years, and he predicted that his enemies would target his ho world… and he chose soone to take his place. It was a bit unreasonable to expect that Aion would beco that strong in a matter of decades, but perhaps he had more ti if he didn't use the relics that much.
"It seems that you don't know for certain, but you have so ideas…" Arlana said while studying Aion's face. "I also understand that they ca since you overused the relics, so the problem is to pamper too much with ti magic."
"You are awfully calm about this…" Aion furrowed his eyebrows. "Most people would think that the world ended up like this because of ."
"I had so thoughts about that, but once I heard those things spreading their voices throughout the whole world saying things like alien spirit and chosen from beyond the stars, I concluded that sothing like this was bound to happen," Arlana explained. "In the other tilines, I didn't find anyone aside from you, even though I also found so research about magic that transfers souls to the future or past. In one way or the other, this was bound to happen once people started to ss with ti magic."
Although she looked insane at first, now Arlana looked pretty level-headed. If what she said was true, she liked that because she had been alone for many years, and while he wasn't the cause of that yet, he felt a bit guilty for it. Still, he had other things to consider for now.
"You contacted using a very suspicious thod… What is your goal here?" Aion asked while furrowing his eyebrows.
"I already lost everything, but that doesn't an that I don't care about anything else," Arlana replied. "This is the true end of the world. This is the first tiline where the world ends up like this, though. That being said, there are other versions of in other tilines, and the people that I cared about are still alive in those as well. In so of them, they aren't even born yet, so there is a chance that I can help them by being born in a better place than this hell hole. To achieve that goal, I want to help you. This is all the knowledge that I have accumulated over many tilines, and while I am not as powerful as Malon, my blood still holds so power to control ti to so extent. I want you to use that blood to make other relics that will help in combat. That should give you so more chances of winning against the real enemies."
"... When was the ti that this world was attacked in this tiline?" Aion asked.
"It was fifty years ago, but knowing that won't help you in any way because the enemies are creatures that can freely move between the tilines," Arlana shook her head. " My guess is that they entered into contact with other versions of themselves and absorbed them to beco even more powerful. For them, ti isn't a barrier… ti is just another path that they can move freely."
