Chapter 56: Code: Dominion ; Plans (1/2)
She rubs her palms against each other a little nervously before asking me,
”Victor, how much do you remember about the... past?”
I have no idea why she is asking me this, but I don't like the way she did. Besides, does this have anything to do with what just happened?
”Everything,” I simply say.
Almost as if not expecting such an answer, excitement covers her face as she exclaims gleefully,
”You remember! You remember our days together!”
The others are giving her a weird look. Well, that is understandable, as she is acting a little unladylike right now.
”Keep your voice down,” I say to her casually, however, she immediately shuts up and gets serious as if I just shouted at her.
”So...” she fidgets a little and turns her eyes to the left and right guiltily as she begins to explain,
”That world... Is the same one you went to right now.”
Hold up, what?!
”Correct me if I misunderstood you, but what you're saying is that the 'world' I just fought in right now is the very same world we had that stupid battle royale in?”
In response to my words, she nervously nods her head with a small smile on her face.
What the hell? First and foremost, why and how did it become the way it is right now? Secondly, why is Yuno able to send me there along with those other guys so easily?
Asking her about it, she fidgets even more as she thinks of an answer for a few seconds before replying with,
”I was kind of angry that when you died, you had already passed through the Mete before I could resurrect you, so I let out my anger on the world.”
So she brought oblivion upon that world because of my total ”death”? I'm already aware of how her mindset is a ”little” different from your average being, so I'm not that surprised.
Leaving that aside,
”How did you do it?”
She explains to me that when she found out about my total ”death”, her sense of reasoning, which I highly doubt ever existed, was gone.
All she knew was that one moment she was near my ”corpse” and the next she was using her powers to destroy the world and its inhabitants.
This raises another question,
”What are your powers? Or should I say, what's your Code?”
Without the least bit of hesitation, she replies,
”My Code is Dominion. My powers are related to the manipulation of Space and to a certain extent, Time.”
Interesting.
”That still doesn't explain how you were able to send us there.”, I say.
”It's simple. My power over Space allows me to keep the world and use it as a pocket dimension.”
In other words, she can access it whenever and wherever she wants to. Spatial powers sure are convenient.
Oh right!
”Then what are her powers?”, I say as I point at Krul.
”I'm aware that her Code is Abbadon, but what are the powers that develop with it?”
Before Yuno can reply, Krul steps forward and says,
”My powers are related to Chaos and Concept Destruction.”
For some reason, I feel like her powers suit her character a lot. Even though I don't know what kind of life she's lived, I know that it wasn't a simple one based on our past conversations.
I shift my focus from them to the rest and notice that my Angels are staring at me a little too hard.
Sora is quietly listening to my conversation with Yuno, while Asia still seems to be in a stupor.
This is problematic...
Now that our numbers have almost tripled, that small apartment won't be enough to accommodate all of us.
The best solution for this issue for this would be,
”My Angels,” I say while looking their way.
Responding to my call, they all kneel down before me.
”You are to live your lives 'normally' until I settle down properly.”
The three of them unitedly respond with,
