(MC POV)
Did I hear what they said correctly? Sothing about Origin fragnts? That ans… These two are Origin Wielders?
What the heck? Why is everything happening in this World? The universe is so big but you already have so many Origin fragnts showing up here and these two are like… What? The second and third Origin Wielders I've t in this World?
Why is this World so special that so many things are happening here?
'Ara, ara? That's simple, Master. The reason is because you are here~ If Origin Himself is already here, where else in the Universe could be more important than here?'
Ah… I actually didn't think of it like that…
Muon did ntion that she ca here because she felt there was an anomaly here and that anomaly turned out to be related to Iris and myself.
'Ufufufu~ And I did influence the Origin fragnts to gravitate here for Master~'
Right, so those were not coincidences…
But what about these two? What made them co all the way here and even try to blend in as one of the locals as well?
And what is this about them trying to take this World's Origin fragnts?
Iris, do you know anything about this?
'Ara, ara? I usually don't care about what these so-called 'Origin Wielders' do with their lives, but if Master wants to go find out, I could.
Ah, if you don't know then it's fine, I was just curious. I'm sure they will end up explaining it themselves anyway.
For now, I guess I should just bring everyone back… If only this wasn't the Abyss, I would have just let them continue fighting in here but not when there's Great Ones around. It'll be troubleso if the people around us were affected by those cosmic beings again.
With a quick snap of my fingers, I sent all of us back to the Grand Courtyard and made sure everyone's sanity was restored.
The two Origin Wielders paused, both of them clearly surprised by the sudden change of scenery since neither of them caused it.
They tried to look around for the culprit so I waved at them to get their attention.
"So… Are either of you going to start explaining what is going on anyti soon? Because clearly neither of you belong to this World," I asked.
Private Bai scowled at , "Another Origin Wielder huh… I guess you're also here for the fragnt that is in this World?"
Huh? What the heck is this guy talking about? There's no fragnt here… At least, not anymore.
Unless he's talking about the fragnts that I had on hand before I absorbed them? Do they think they're still around or sothing?
Just to be sure, I double checked with my omniscience to see if that was the case.
Surprisingly, it was. They had sensed the materialisation of those Origin fragnts and followed it here, thinking that no one had claid it yet.
"Umm… The Origin fragnts you're talking about… I already absorbed them."
The two of them stared at with wide eyes.
Initiate Hei furrowed his brows at , "How?! I even made sure to check if any other Origin Wielders had arrived here recently and the only person I found is this muscle brained idiot! When did you slip in here to absorb them?!"
I titled my head, "I didn't slip in at all. I was already here from the start. I live here."
Private Bai pointed a finger at , "Who's your patron Goddess?!"
Oh, they think I'm an Origin Wielder too. That was the case for Muon as well, wasn't it? Do they not have sothing that tells them I am not just an Origin Wielder?
'Ufufufu~ Master does realise that to most beings in this Universe, including the Gods themselves, eting with you is considered sothing impossible?'
Why is that?
'Ara, ara? A normal citizen would not expect to see their monarch sitting in the sa tavern as they are, would they?'
I an… Over here we already have two current monarchs and a forr one participating in this event… But I get your point.
Hmm… Maybe I should play along with them for now and pretend I'm also one of them instead of telling them who I really was.
Why? Because the last thing I want is for them to raise a fuss and draw more attention to . I definitely do not want everyone here to see these two suddenly prostrate in front of or sothing like that.
"Supre Goddess of fate, Muenia."
That made the two of them glance at each other in surprise.
Right then, Sect Master Qing ca up to , "Umm… Master Lin? What is going on now?"
"Ah… Well… It seems like these two are looking for sothing that I already obtained, so I'm trying to explain to them that what they were looking for is no longer sothing they can get. Umm… Tell you what, I'll take them sowhere else so the others can continue with the Festival."
"Ah, I understand. Take your ti, Master Lin."
Isn't it nice to have such an understanding Sect Master like Sect Master Qing?
I gestured for the two Origin Wielders to follow and gave my disciples instructions to continue watching the Showcase without . Of course, Iris would be following along but she made it such that her presence could not be perceived by anyone else, as usual.
With the two of them following , I guided them towards a private area behind the Grand Hall before turning to them, "So… Any reason why you two are looking for Origin Fragnts?"
Initiate Hei frowned at , "Have you been living under a rock all this ti? Are you not aware of the things happening between Origin Wielders right now?"
Private Bai also chid in, "Yeah! Did Supre Goddess Muenia abandon you or sothing? Even she's involved in this!"
"Erm… I've been tasked to monitor this World and have been cut off from the rest of the universe since then… Could you enlighten ?"
"Huh… Are you really sure you haven't been abandoned? Pretty much everyone knows this…" Private Bai shook his head.
Initiate Hei gestured up towards the sky, "The Gods are fighting amongst each other right now and they're hosting a competition between all Origin Wielders as their champions soon. The winners of the competition get to go to the newly created vacation planet and may even get to et Origin itself. Every single Origin Wielder is now busy trying to find the leftover Origin fragnts scattered around to empower themselves."
Er… What? Wait… Seriously?
"When did this happen?" I asked.
Private Bai shrugged, "About a month ago in this World's ti I guess? Anyway… The reason we told you about this is only because your patron Goddess is Supre Goddess Muenia ok? Don't think this makes us friends. You may have gotten the Origin fragnts here but if you want to get any more, you'll have to go through , got it? That prize is mine!"
With those words, he flew up into the sky, leaving this World without a second glance back.
Initiate Hei also nodded his head at , "The sa goes for as well. If I were you, I'd just stay here quietly since your Goddess has not called for you. You seem like you're having a nice life here already."
He then followed after Private Bai, disappearing into the sky.
…
What is this about the Gods fighting amongst themselves?!!
