Chapter 86: Small Break.

(Celia’s POV)

Due to the Creator, whoever she is, not wanting to make me hate her any longer, she has started to care about me directly. As such, Yona and her both forced me to take a break before diving into a different world and trying to save another one of my family members.

Celia: “I am pretty confused…” I say with a sigh.

Creator: “About what?” She asked.

Celia: “If your plan was already revealed to me, why bother continuing with it? I won’t ever hate any of my family members, and I don’t get anything out of diving into other dimensions. After all, like you said, I don’t keep my levels or anything from them.” I say with a thinking pose.

Creator: “That is where you’re wrong.” She denied.

Celia: “?”

Creator: “You might not gain any power from it, but you still gain experience. Even if you fight Yona at her level, she wouldn’t be able to win against you, Celia. And that is just from going through Heaven without a System, and then being a weak human in Yona’s dimension.” She answered.

I mean… I guess that I am stronger and more skilled now. But does that even matter? Once I am done with this whole plan by the Creator, I won’t ever be stripped of my System, right? Let alone stripped of my current power.

Creator: “That thinking is wrong, Celia. If I can do such things to you, then others can as well.” She cautioned.

Celia: “…”

Creator: “Since you were born into this dimension, and since I took over ruling it. Ah, I actually didn’t make it, that was a lie. I just took it over. Anyway… anything and everything regarding this dimension, is under my control and my whims.” She explained.

Yona: “Is there really no limit to a Creator’s power?” She asked.

Creator: “Of course, we cannot do such things in dimension that we do not own. But if we want to control someone, nothing is stopping us from taking their soul and putting them into a body that was born or made in one of our dimensions.” She replied.

Celia: “That is… kinda scary.” I say with a nervous tone.

Creator: “It is just as scary as it sounds, Celia. Until you become a Creator yourself, higher beings such as me and them can mess with you as they please. Even if my plan is mostly ruined, these experiences in different dimensions will be a great help to you.” She said with a stern tone.

Celia: “…”

A great help, huh? I guess that they would be. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have realized that I was still quite capable, even with none of my power at my fingertips. After all, I didn’t really need much help in the dimension where I found Yona. Though… she did say that Yona’s was the easiest dimension to deal with…

Months Later.

Celia: “Can… can I please go back to saving everyone?” I plead.

Yona and the Creator: “No.” They both denied.

Celia: “…”

Creator: “Your soul was very damaged, remember? Even if it is healed now, it is still wounded to a decent degree. Putting your soul into a new body might cause you to relapse. As such, we cannot let you leave just yet.” She explained.

Celia: “But it has been months…” I say with a sigh.

Yona: “And clearly, a few months weren’t enough for you to fully heal.” She replied.

Celia: “I…I am so bored…” I say with a sad tone.

Apart from the house, there was just nothingness in this damn dimension. And what did she mean by “entertainment”? A bunch of books don’t count! Even if I do like to read a lot…

Creator: “Why don’t you take your mother with you to Heaven?” She suggested.

Yona: “Is a roundabout way for you to tell us to kill ourselves?” She asked with an angry tone.

Celia: “Ah, right! You don’t know this, Mom. But I actually saved Heaven not that long ago. I even got a free pass to go there whenever I want to.” I say with a proud tone.

Yona: “…Oh, Goddess… You aren’t lying…” She said with a sigh.

Creator: “She isn’t lying, that I assure you. It was a little annoying, as I couldn’t watch over her as easily while she was in Heaven.” She said with a pout.

Going by what she explained earlier, it would make sense why she didn’t go to Heaven. After all, she didn’t have any control over what I could or couldn’t do while there. Hmm… I guess that Heaven is a decently interesting place. It would sure beat staying in this destroyed dimension.

Celia: “Do you want to go to Heaven, Mom? I mean, just to visit… I am not threatening you.” I ask.

Yona: “What’s Heaven like?” She asked with a curious tone.

Celia: “A more advanced version of my dungeon, basically. Well, that place got super advanced, so it is more similar to when you last visited it.” I reply.

Yona: “Would it be entertaining for you?” She asked.

Celia: “It would be, yes.” I reply with a nod.

Yona: “…Then please go have fun there.” She replied.

Huh? Yona isn’t coming with me? But… I want to go with her. After all, I have already been to Heaven. Of course, I haven’t explored it completely. But it would be somewhat boring to explore it while being completely alone…

Celia: “Mom… I want to go with you.” I say with a sad tone.

Yona: “…Really?” She replied with an unsure tone.

Celia: “Yes, really. Please, Mom… I honestly have no grudge or anger toward you at all. You’re my mother, and that will never change. Now, could you please go have some fun with this daughter of yours?” I ask.

Yona: “…”

Creator: “Yona, the more that you try and act detached from Celia, the more she will be hurt by you. At that point, you aren’t helping her at all. You’re just being selfish.” She said with a stern tone.

Is that what she is trying to do? Make me not as attached to her? That won’t ever happen. Yona has given me more than enough happiness that I will always forgive her. Regardless of what she does. Before Yona could react, I put on my Heaven pass ring that I took out from my storage, and appeared before Yona in a flash. Hugging her, I teleported directly to Heaven. Now, let us have mother and daughter bonding time once again!
