CHAPTER 8: THE DIFFERENCE IN POWER

Haru woke up. It's pitch black again. He looks around. Nothing. He decided to walk forward. Still nothing. So he walk and walk but there's no is end to this darkness. Haru wonder what is this all about. Is this inside his mind or someone else?

"Hey, you there!" A voice that sounded like a guy in his 40s is calling Haru from behind. He turn around. A guy that looks like a reliable man is standing behind him. He looks at Haru menancingly.

"What? Why are you calling me?" Haru ask.

"Actually, I'm here on someone request. She tell me to ask you one thing. Wanna come over to the Celestial boy? I will only ask this one time you better thinks about it twice and quickly. I don't want to stay here for too long." Says the guy with a threatening voice.

"Yo, chill! Wait a goddamn minute will ya? In the first place who are you and who is this someone and why you inviting me to the Celestial? That place sounds dangerous of course I'm not going!"

"So, you are not going?"

"Yes! Hell nah! I'm not going there!"

"Fine, my job is done! Oh, yeah! Almost forgot! Based on her request if you decline the invitation I have to take away your [OMNISCIENT]. No hate though."

"Wait, hold on! Just who are you and why did you just casually barge into my mind?"

"What?! This isn't your mind boy! This the conciousness of your soul! Your goddamn soul!"

"How do you know about that and why are you the one being mad here? I'm the one supposed to be mad! You breaks into my soul! That's treepasing! And who are you and who is this someone?"

"Why are you...?! Nevermind! I'm Faust! I can't tell you who is this someone but I'm just going to take your [OMNISCIENT] away. Are you fine with that?!"

"Take them away?! I'll give it to you gladly! That thing hurt my head so much I couldn't think straight!"

"Hmm... You are interesting boy. By the way, the information that you have already access using the [OMNISCIENT] will stay forever in your head. So, you may never forget the things that you saw with it." Faust said as he walk away from Haru.

"Wait! Are you from the Celestial? I didn't see you in the vision last time!" Haru ask. Faust then turn around slowly. He stares at Haru. Later, he start asking.

"Do you want to know how powerful the Celestial being is?"

"Huh? I'm sure I already know about that."

"The information that you got is still incomplete ortherwise you would already know who ask me to be here."

Haru looks at him. Haru know that he is telling the truth. He curious and confused. He want to know about it but at the same time he doesn't.

"Why? Is the difference really that huge?" Haru ask.

" It is. In fact, too huge"

Haru can feels an intimidating aura coming from Faust. Haru stays calm in order to look cool.

"Then, tell me about it!"

"I assume that you already know about what inside the Dwellers from the Lowest Celestial?"

"Countless number of infinite complex of infinite universe. Am I right? If yes then tell me already!"

"As you say." Faust then snap his finger. Their surrounding changes to an atmosfera full of atoms.

"Boy, what do you think an atom is made of?" Faust ask.

"Huh? An atom is made of..." Without giving Haru chance to finish his answer Faust interfere.

"The things that you know right now about atom from your world is a mere illusion created by us, the Celestial beings. Those atom that you know were made of a billion of universe compressed together and then forming this tiny atom. The Queen herself did that. Every single atom inside the world that the Dwellers are protecting inside their body. In other words, this world, Earth and any other world inside the Dwellers, all the existence inside the Dwellers contain the very same atom that the Queen made. You are made of billions of atom that were made of a billions amount of compressed universe. Same goes to everything inside the Dwellers." Seeing the way Faust talk Haru know he isn't lying. Haru shocked. He feels like he shouldn't know this kind of thing. Every single atom that forming him is made out of a billion compressed universe.

"Does that mean, if I tear a piece of paper, I'm basically destroying an uncountable amount of universe. Isn't that right?"

"Well, that's correct but I bet you didn't care about that in the first place right? Murderer?"

Haru shocked. Both of them stares at each other.

"You. How much do you know about me?!" Haru ask angrily.

"Everthing, boy! Everything! I have been watching you... No. I have been watching everything from the beginning. I know everything that happens. I'm always there. I'm everywhere. One thing for sure, I'm always standing above you and your tiny world. That said, your world is already incredible enough. But, do you know how atom in Celestial works?"

Haru is stunned. He don't know what he should answer.

"If I were to pick a random atom from any part of the Celestial. Lowest or Highest. Then, I put that very atom into one of the Dwellers. Just by the mere presence of the atom. Everything inside the Dwellers is gone. Completely destroyed by just the mere presence of an atom from the Celestial. How about that? Feel small now? We, the Celestial being could destroy your tiny world in a mere second. Well, I have a lot of work to do. I'll be going first. We will meet again boy. Farewell, Opposer!" Faust said as he walk and slowly dissapear in the darkness.

Haru is still stunned. He then fell on his knees.

"He knew everything about me. He knew what I have been doing. He say that we will meet again. When that time come I need to do something about him." Haru whisper to himself

After a while, a bright light appear in front of him. He closed his eye because of the light. When open his eye back he is inside of his room. He awake. He glances around. He relieved. He know that the conversation earlier is real and not a dream. He turn his body sideways.

"Hmm~ smooth black hair, big chest, nice body figure. Must be sensei. I'll pretend that I did not see her and walk away quickly." Haru said as he waking up from the bed. Just about he want to walk away Konami grab him.

"Are you really going to ignore me and my resolve? I'm sad Haru. You just ignore a woman on a same bed as you."

She reeks of alcohol. Haru really dislike that smell.

"Sensei, how about you go to sleep? It's more comfortable that way."

"Hmm~ you are right. Goodnight!"

Haru look outside. It's freaking morning. He walk away and then goes downstair. He can see the twin is about to go out.

"Where you two going. It's still early. Oh, yeah! How many days did I faint this time?" Haru ask the twin.

"We're going to buy some clotches for both of you. Only two days." Kiara answered.

"Oh, okay! Can I lend your map? I want to have a look at this world."

"Sure, my lord! Here you are!" Luna says as she give the map to Haru. The twin then goes out the house.

"Be safe and thank you!"

"We will. You're welcome!"

Haru then sits on the table and start studying the map.

"Hmm... Only three continents and two ocean. Judging from the land area this planet is also quite large compared to Earth. Even the small island is larger than Japan. Valna Kingdom is large too. Dragons and influence maybe?" As he looks at the map he realized something quite strange. Why is the Omega Kingdom is not inside any continent? He chew on some bread and stand up. He knew where to go next. After the twin come back with the clotches of course.
