The endless humming within the space suddenly quietened down.
It felt as though the two ladies had separated themselves from everything else.
Celine almost shed tears just by looking at the lady standing before her despite their corporeal bodies having long lost the ability to cry. She yearned to step forward to hug her, but halfway through extending her tentacles forward, she saw her crude and unsightly tentacles and stopped.
But the other party took the initiative to step closer and took her tentacles into her hand without hesitation.
“It isn’t my first time seeing a carrier, so what are you ashamed of?”
Just as it had been in the past, her intonation remained amiable.
The familiar voice and appearance made it no longer possible for Celine to control her emotions. She spread out all her tentacles and pulled Eleanor into an embrace.
“Are you able to explain the entire story to me now?” the other party asked with a laugh.
“My Lady, can you tell me of the situation outside first?” Celine only remembered her mission after calming down. The space of consciousness still existed, which meant that the Deity of Gods had not crashed to the ground as planned by the enemy. However, she still needed to hear it first hand that nothing bad had happened beyond the space of consciousness.
“Although it’s still descending, its speed should have reached a safe range before crashing to the ground,” Eleanor explained and paused. “Come to think of it, is this an object built by the demons? I see many God’s Punishment Witches. Are we already able to launch an assault on siege an enemy’s city? So in the end, Alice still… succeeded…”
Celine was finally relieved. “About that… I’m afraid that the situation isn’t as you imagine it to be, and explaining all of it would take some time.”
“A consciousness exchange is most suitable for lengthy reports.” Eleanor sighed.“Come, I am prepared.”
“Yes.” Celine nodded her main tentacle. “I will start from the time after you successfully merged with the central carrier…”
…
The recount took a long time before it was completed.
“… I see.” Eleanor spoke once again, emotions apparent in her voice. “In the end, it was not Alice or Natalia who won, but the humans having actually formed a new system. However, I’m very curious. Was such an extraordinary person truly produced from among the ordinary humans?”
“It took us a long time before we accepted that. It was Agatha who used to recruit ordinary humans that adapted quickly to the circumstances. If not for her creating the ties, I’m afraid the entire process would had been more complicated.”
“I remember that name.” Eleanor blinked. “She is the young Awakened genius.”
“You actually remember her.” Celine was surprised. “She is the only Witch to have maintained her original appearance from our time.” At this point, Celine hesitated for a moment. “Lady Eleanor, are you able to recall all your memories while being in the central carrier?”
Eleanor shook her head. “To be honest, I don’t really know who I am. The name of Eleanor is not entirely correct, because I am also Cheryl, Jasmine, and Salice… All the Witches that had merged with the central carrier makes the current me. I can remember everything that occurred before merging, but nothing when I became one. It is difficult for me to describe the feeling. It is chaotic and messy, and it isn’t as simple as seeing or talking. It’s more like my consciousness has been peeled off into many smaller sections, and only a portion of it remains normal.” Sighing for a moment, she continued, “Oh… If I really try and recall, the only thing I can remember is the analysis of the magic power cores and computations.”
“Then how did you come here?” Celine asked in surprise.
“I am not too sure myself. I guess, when you see a beam of light tearing through the chaos, one would run to it at all costs, right?”
I see, and to me, you were the light in the darkness as well…
