Chapter 117: Stable Codes ; Mental Healing (1/2)
Irene, is there a way for me to travel to a specific Platform?
{Affirmative. Father needs to be in contact with a stable Code that has been to said Platform.}
A stable Code? What exactly is considered 'stable'?
{Codes that aren't in a sealed state.}
Well, do I know anyone whose Code has been sealed?
{Affirmative. Krul Tepes is one such individual.}
Krul, huh? I had realized that something wrong with her recently, but I didn't think it would be because her Code is sealed.
I reckoned that whatever she was going through was similar to me… Wait, it is!
Irene, is my Code considered to be unstable?
{Extremely so.}
Well, shit.
Does that affect me or those around me in any way?
{Not directly. Father's existence destabilizes Platforms and the flow of time in them. The only place where Father wouldn't bring chaos upon everything just by existing would be the Rift.}
And I assume that's because Rift is a destabilized place in and of itself. Well, either that, or it's specifically formed for existences such as myself.
Anyways, this means that I can go over to Halkegenia whenever I want to, right?
{Affirmative.}
Good. I would've gone on a rampage had there been other requirements such as 'you can only go during full-moons' or something.
Now that I have that settled, I need to consider the current issues.
First, there is Rossweisse who is probably still in a coma. I'm wondering if my Healing Factor can affect one's mental state.
From the looks of it, that's not possible, however, I wonder if that would still be the case once I've tiered it up to its final tier.
Now that I think about it, I haven't tiered up any of my Effects completely.
That's mostly because I haven't found a proper way to do so yet. The only Effect that I have managed to deliberately tier up is Healing Factor.
So, to it again, I have to get more test subjects? Sounds bothersome.
Hold on… Perhaps if I…
[Father.]
Hearing Michael's voice at such a time is nothing more than perfect timing,
”Is something wrong?”
[Odin wishes to speak with you.]
”I see. Is he near Rossweisse perchance?”
[Yes.]
”That's great. Where are you?”
---
”Hello,” I simply greet Odin who is sitting and thinking of something.
Odin responds by turning his head and scrutinizing me before saying,
”You really are alive.”
Shrugging my shoulders I walk over and take a seat near him and say,
”Why would I die?”
My words seem to irritate Odin as he remarks,
”Those two with you are calamitous beings. Whenever they're mentioned in records, there is always mass destruction and deaths.”
Grinning at his words, I say,
”Do you think I care about that?”
Odin frowns and says monotonously,
”That's not something I would've expected to hear from the mouth of the Biblical God. What happened to your fondness of humans?”
”It seems like you've misunderstood something, Odin,” I say calmly, ”I'm not the Biblical God, but his creator.”
”Nonsense!”, Odin exclaims.
”It's up to you to believe my claims or not, as I simply don't care.”
What use would it have to get him to believe me? None.
”Putting that matter to the side,” I say dismissively, ”I've come here to heal Rossweisse, not speak with you.”
”And how are you planning to do that?”, he asks.
Ignoring him, I get up from my seat and proceed to walk closer to the bed Rossweisse is lying on.
Isn't this bed a little too big? Did Rias seriously need to sleep on such a big bed?
Now that I think about it, why was Rossweisse brought here instead of, like, anywhere else?
I'm guessing that they took her to a healer, but they turned out to be incapable of dealing with her state.
Well, I can't blame them for that, as even my idea might not work.
Deciding that it's worth the shot, I place my palm on her head and begin utilizing Memory Erasure.
After a while of swimming around in her memories, I find out that this is much more effective than torturing others for information.
Anyway, after a while, I reach what seems to be the center of her mind. What the heck is this?
It's filled with notions of having a boyfriend and other related matters.
Now that I think about it, in some memories I focused on, I could see that she would react exaggeratedly to others making fun of her for being single her whole life.
How unfortunate. Perhaps, I should help her out overcome this issue...
”I can heal her, however, it would require me to make use of some unconventional powers,” I say truthfully, ”As that could lead to potential side effects and other issues, I must constantly keep an eye on her.”
