Question and answers.

Things were changing rapidly like the plot. Who you thought was dead was not indeed dead. The one you thought was going to kill you was actually rooting for you. But he kills you anyway., Then you get rescued by your enemy who you met many centuries ago and then you killed her. But it was actually revealed that it was her clone. And now she wants to have a serious talk.

Maria :

First of all, let me apologize for all the trouble I have caused you.

Second soon you'll fall into a grave danger both of you.

Because of Mcelroy's relation to God Slayer and your relation with the master of the abyss.

Jay :

You mean X. He's already a pain. But what does he has to do with it. (Except for being the mastermind)

Maria :

The God's want a path to the master of abyss. And you are the only one who is closest to them. Because of the peculiar relation you have with the God. They will do anything to get to you.

But because God Slayer or they assume McElroy to be the God Slayer. You were not harmed, cause they fear and revere the God Slayer. And this secret, it was safe with us.

But the gods soon found out that was not the case. And now they may strike anytime. That's why I had to call you here.

Jay :

Then why is the foundation helping us. We are neutral party and even allied with the gods to defeat your army .

Maria :

Theres absolutely no problem with that. It is in our plans that the demons were supposed to be killed. I'm fact I would like to thank you for doing our work for us.

.

Jay :

I don't understand your schemes. If the foundation is justice then why is everything going like this.

Maria :

That's a very simple question. It's because of you and your party.

Jay was even more confused with the accusations.

Maria :

When we captured you, we saw your memories, Mcelroy's memories and Vivas memories. A time traveler from the future. Her memories were supposed to be uncovered by the one who sent her in the past.

Her suppressed memories were bought out. And then she realized that she was one of us.

Maria :

But this isn't the end of the accusation I have against you.

Your party is also responsible for the war one thousands years ago.

And rest of it is a by product of your actions.

Maria :

What made you attack the Aureus?

Jay :.

This was forced into me by the same master of abyss. He made this just to torment me for my actions.

Maria :.

Well I'm glad you're not a vandalising psychopath.

Maria :

Which brings me to another set of questions.

How did you end up in the desert city in the past.

Jay explains the entire saga to Maria with whatever details he could remember

Jay :

Now I want to ask something why did you attack Raizon.

Maria :

We were at war with each other, so it was tactical to slay the mightiest foe of the gods first doesn't it.

Phizon had the most superior foot in the world of technology and when he started from scratch he reached our level in just 400 years while we had to struggle for much more than that.

If he had lived he would have ended the foundation long ago.

McElroy :

Why are you even fighting each other. I heard in the stories that humans and gods were both allies in the war.

Maria reverted the question with another question.

Maria :

Where do you think mana comes from.

Jay :

Mana is a natural force which is generated naturally by the world isn't it.

McElroy :

I think it gies something like this. The God's created mana for everyone so that they would be able to fight every threat to them. And everyone could get a fighting chance.

Maria :

Both of those theories are actually incorrect.

Maria :

Mana is a very cruel by product which if formed at the cost of life.

When a human lives through his life. He gradually grows older and perish . But why?

A question was raised on both of them.

Jay took the scientific approach

Jay :

After the passage of genes, there is actually no coding for human to exist longer. Thus without a directive, the cells eventually perish.

Maria :

Actually you're half right. There is an energy known as life force in our body. It keeps the body alive, but as we grow, little by little the life forces gets converted to mana and it either gets utilized or when the life force eventually fades the person dies and the mana as a bulk when a person dies or for a non mana user the mana leaks out of the body as there is nothing to store the mana in his body.

McElroy :

But what does it has to do with your conflict.

Maria :

I'm not done yet. This is the reason why there is an Abundance of mana in this world. Because since centuries humans have been unknowingly living and dying, and spreading mana in the lands.

And the God's have been cultivating humans for this reason.

Once they cultivate all the mana that they need in this world.

They are going to use the mana to destroy the world.

Maria :

And thats why to not let them reach their goal. We the foundation heads regularly have to slaughter to stall them in their tracks. Such is our fate.

McElroy :

Why not use as much mana as you can. Instead of slaughter

Maria :

The production of mana is much more larger than we can use.

For simpler explanation.

If the production of mana by the world is 3

Then the foundation is only able to use 1 mana. Thus the mana is being produced twice times more than the expenditure.

Jay :

Why destroy the world!

Maria :

I don't know yet, I haven't been able to scour enough information from them.

Jay :

So it's like a destroy the world type of story with unnecessary time travel.

Maria :

If you want to think about it that way.

McElroy :

Then the skeleton war -

Maria :

That was the part of the culling.

Jay :

What about the Kingdom of Chroma. How were you involved in that.

Maria :

That's an easy one. We wanted to bring everyone back that we have culled. Thus we tethered them to the kingdom to create artificial bodies such they may return to life once again.

But that didn't work, with the delicate system of laws of the lands it seems.

Jay :

And why kill the demons, for they don't seem to be able to use mana.

Maria :

There's a reason why Demons can't use mana while human can. Just like humans even demons age and produce mana but that mana is converted into rage. Wrath, fury, uncontrollable anger, Thus mana is consumed by anger and this allows demons to live for a longer period than humans.

But there are ones who learn to control and harness their anger, and mana is not converted in their body and they become the Heavenly Demon and Asuras.

The wave of questions and answers continue.
