The next thing I saw were the peaceful flowery valleys.

What happened..?

I'm back in Arisa's soul? I thought I already left her body. If I'm inside Arisa's soul, then that would mean that I'm either back in her body, or she's back in mine.

"Relax, little Vixen. A slight error could've resulted in a universal collapse."

A universal collapse?

Reyana was in front of me again. She's sitting on her plastic chair, slowly drinking that seemingly endless source of tea.

"189, 482, 900, 4670, 10231, 40827, 91027, 400972, 988000, 194552164, and so on."

"What are you talking about? Why am I back here? Weren't we fighting the Baphomet just a few seconds ago?"

"Your soul having it's seals removed was a grave mistake. My apologies, it appears that leaving them alone was a better idea. Whoever did that, you and I shall thank them."

My seals..?

I was capable of destroying the entire universe..?

How ridiculous. There's no way that is true.

"The first thing that regenerated was your Magical Energy. Next was your intensively sealed intelligence. I'm sure that you've noticed it already. Your intelligence and wisdom were at extremely high levels, innumerable, and overwhelmingly unsurpassable.

"If I had left you without sealing them again, this whole entire universe would've been crushed, ripped off, before another universe gets created."

"Eh..? I'm really that powerful..? Perhaps you're just over exaggerating..?"

"I'm not wrong, I'm sure of it. The outer forces have already began their movement.

"There exists 6 realms in total:

"The Surface, [Heaven]. Despite it's name, it's actually hell. It used to be Heaven of course, but that was long ago. No one calls it Heaven anymore, you may know of it simply as Hell, or the Demon Realm.

"The 2nd layer, also known as the Upper Mortal Realm, or simply, [Earth]. ...I don't need to explain since you already know what it is.

"The 3rd layer, Cvvoer, or the [Land of Fantasy], which is this realm. You can also call it The Mortal Realm, or The Human Realm."

"Huh? Why are you telling me this? I already learned them from books."

"The 4th layer is the Lower Mortal Realm, the [Land of the Fallen Gods]. There're not much records and information about it, but it's basically where fake gods like Keasius come from.

"The 5th layer is the [Immortal Realm], where immortal entities live in. You may have heard of it as the Abyss before.

"And then lastly, the [Realm of the Gods]. But of course, everything below the Mortal Realm were just named by the humans. So remember that their real names might be different."

"So..? What does all of these have to do with my current situation here?"

"Your powers and abilities belong in the [Immortal Realm]. Just the mere presence of them being here is already tearing up this universe."

I think I understand.

The overwhelming amount of intelligence that I possess was too dangerous. I guess the person who sealed my powers actually had good intentions.

"I tried to seal your powers completely but failed, I've done what I can, Keasius will do the rest. Arisa has already been defeated by Baphomet. We're in your soul now, so good luck. This entire conversation didn't even last a second in the physical world. If you need more time to think, then you can stay for a little longer."

"Hey, wait..! Are you telling me to go and try negotiating with those guys..? That'd mean instant death for me! With my unsealed powers, either the world ends, or I die."

"One last things. Pikaia, Free, and Heart are still alive. Heart is the Heart of the Ninth Polar Heaven, the Monolith. Cornea was one of her spawns, or her clones if you can call them that."

"Really..? Thank god... That calms me down a bit..."

"Demons are professionals when it comes to resurrecting and reviving. I'll explain more in detail. For now, try to survive without destroying the entire world, and get Keasius to seal your powers."

Poof.

I was back in the physical world again.

"Yo, Vampire."

Said the Baphomet who sat down cross-legged next to the lifeless bodies of Heart and Fiya.

I wanted to attack her, but I remembered that they can still be revived.

"I planned to kill you before those seals broke... But it seems that I don't even need to do that anymore."

She looked at The Tale of the Great White.

"Huhhh?"

She tilts her head, pointing a finger at her face.

"Seal her powers before they come back. Our time limit is 10 seconds. Be hasty now."

"10 Seconds?!!"

"10 Seconds?!! W-w-wha-!?!"

"Quick! Do it now, shark!"

"R-Right!! Channel, Chains of Reflection!!"

Suddenly, I felt thousands of pieces of metal crushing my body. An excruciating pain quickly took over. It was extremely painful, until I finally felt relief again.

"Hah...! Ow..! What was that?!"

I asked her angrily, but then my arms began glowing red.

Writings in an unknown language were carved into my arms, covering my entire arm from the tip of my fingers, up to my shoulders. The writings were beautifully coloured turquoise. The mere sight of it was mesmerizing, it was also pretty annoying because it slightly blinded me when I just got a glance of it.

"That should work..."

"Good. Our main mission here was to rebalance the world by killing all of you, that means Cornea, Lilith, Scarlet, and Free. We don't want people to carry around world-disturbing abilities. ...but death wasn't actually necessary hehehe... we just needed to stop you guys from making a disturbance in this universe."

I see...

It seems that they're unaware of Heart and Fiya being revivable though. I should keep it a secret to avoid the possibility of them finding out a way to permanently get rid of my friends.

"You can go now. But never release those seals. Your Crimson Blood Demon friend's also trapped in those seals, if you release her, you know what happens... I know about those other demons too, the Sacrificial lambs or something. But causing more unnecessary trouble for me will result in death, do you hear me?!"

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

"Alright alright. ...also, Heart planned out your attack, and Cat's attack as well. Don't blame me if my powers become unsealed without my notice, I feel like she still has more planned for us..."

"Don't be ridiculous. Cornea is dead, along with Free. The new ones won't know about those plans anymore. If they do however... You know what will happen. We'll leave you guys for now, remember that having strange abilities like a 5th dimensional gate opener will result in the user's death."

Says the Baphomet as she gets up, dragging both of the corpses with her. Their blood made a trail as she carries them further into the city.

She slowly faded off into the darkness, into the ruins of Hreamlea.

"Wait... I forgot!! What will I say to the Demons, and the Humans..!?"

"Hah-hah-hah!!! Don't you worry about that! I'll take care of all the unnecessary talking! Your collaboration with that-... Uhhh... That man's kingdom will begin in a few months! Better rest for now!"

"Whose kingdom are you talking about? The alliance with demons will take place later, in Rintan's kingdom."

"Oh! I'm sorry! Forgive me for such foul mistakes! I humbly ask for your forgiveness, O' great Rireith!"

"Stop joking around for a bit. I need some rest, before going back to finding my friends..."

"Do not fret! I'll take you to my royal castle! Speaking of royal... The Sacrificial lambs will have to wait in that royal palace for a while..!"

Well. That's better than getting lost in the ruins of this city, and possibly attacked by monsters.

...

Later, The Tale of the Great White led me out of the city, and into a strange forest.

A road was visible thanks to the moonlight shining down to create our path into her home.

Along the way, there were many ducks roaming around in groups.

The Tale of the Great White wagged her tail in front of me as a cold breeze blows through, making her dark hair fly around, flowing beautifully like water.

The markings on her face were almost invisible, but her nostalgic appearance reminded me of Manta and Sting.

They were both sharks. Sharks use Electromagnetic fields back in my world, is that why they can use Electromagnetic Magic effectively in this world?

"Here we are! The lovely little house that I made using whatever materials I could find!"

We stopped in front of a strange wooden house covered in plants and leaves.

There were lights shining outside through the windows.

"Looks like an abandoned shack. Where's the house that you were talking about?"

"You meanie..! This IS the house that I was talking about..!"

An odd melody was playing inside the house.

The sounds made by the strings fit the atmosphere, giving me that fresh feeling, which relieves me from all of what has happened.

We entered the house through the front doors, setting foot into the brightly lit room filled with a ton of furniture and decorations.

A man was sitting next to a wall, playing a string instrument.

"Oh! It's Shinpitekina!"

Shinpitekina?

"You're back. Very well. I shall play another song."

He then placed his instrument on the floor before heading upstairs.

I wondered who that man was, so I asked the Tale of the Great White about it.

"Who is that man?"

"He's Shinpitekina, a friendly man who likes playing music! He's a mysterious individual, he doesn't just play songs..!"

Mysterious? I didn't have much time for solving mysteries so I sat down on a couch near a window, taking a fruit from the plate placed on the table in front of me.

The Tale of the Great White left us alone after stating that she had something to do outside.

There were some potted plants in front of the house, they were visible through the windows. From what I see here, it seems that she likes decorating this house.

Come to think of it, was she just living in this place near Hreamlea? Her location was one of the first things I found out when I gained omniscience.

She told me that she was looking for me, so maybe she set up a house here while searching.

"Hm? Thee odd Vampire... What are you doing here?"

Shinpitekina appeared carrying another instrument while I was still eating fruits.

"What are YOU doing here? A lot has happened recently, so I'll rest here for a while."

"Heh. I was just joking, I know what you're here for. That Shark wanted to ask you something. She set up a base here for that reason. You can call me Shinpitekina. I'll explain to you what has happened, so that you won't have any troubles for now."

Explain what to me?

After these writings appeared on my arms, my head did start having a strange feeling. It feels like I've lost a bunch of intelligence points. I can't even see how much intelligence points I have anymore.

"You're still dizzy after nearly becoming a god for a second, so I'll briefly explain to you what you did after you gained 82% of your full intelligence before having a "Dance competition" with the "Baphomet".

"Your soul was constantly healing itself during the entire fight. When you finally recovered 82% of your full intelligence, you acquired immense intelligence and knowledge required to defeat the "Baphomet".

"Some could say that you two were just having a dance competition, but normally, dancing wouldn't create magical waves or anything similar.

"You two were moving in the most specific ways possible, following the ways to position yourselves in this universe. That one dance that you did was coincidentally just the most similar dance for moving one's body to create those magical waves.

"You were imitating a magical upside-down version of worm charming by moving your feet in a specific way.

"Worm charming is a method of attracting earthworms from the ground, but the magical upside-down version of it created vibrations in the air, you then imitated Scarlet's Redone-Auxiliary Blood Feast to enhance them, making pseudo Magical particles to compensate for the lack of actual Magical particles, since they were destroyed by Cornea.

"All of this were necessary for you to cast Divine Whirlpool because of the different conditions. The first time you casted Divine Whirlpool was in an empty field full of Magical Energy, this time however, Magical particles were almost nonexistent.

"Take note that your soul was still healing here, so when you finally acquired all of your unsealed intelligence points, you became nearly omniscient for 1 second.

"The overwhelming amount of knowledge that flooded into your brain gave you many years worth of knowledge, the amount of knowledge grew the more intelligence points you acquired. So eventually, you became nearly omniscient, but your intelligence points met their limit, immediately stopping you from becoming permanently all-knowing.

"While you were still in a state of omniscience, you learned about the path you needed to take in order to defeat the "Baphomet", that path had become visualized in your head.

"Reality was shifted because of you suddenly becoming nearly omniscient, and because of the 5th dimensional gates and panels that were further opened up because of the magical waves you and the "Baphomet" made, also turning the path physical now.

"You also had a ton of pathways to take in order to defeat the "Baphomet", but you only took one single road. Knowing everything you needed to do and having all of the conditions met, you began mass-producing your own blood using Scarlet's techniques, further improved by you imitating a reversed version of Gamma Ray Burst.

"The Gamma Ray Burst spell was supposed to be a very powerful attack spell, but when reversed and heavily weakened, it now heals instead of causing radiation.

"The radiation that was supposed to cause harm to your blood proliferation was reversed, causing multiplication and improved blood proliferation instead.

"Blood contains plasma. You multiplied your blood but since you only wanted Plasma, you separated them using your in-depth knowledge of blood.

"The extremely stretched out mass-produced blood plasmas were then compressed before you began moving them at ridiculously high speeds, instantly destroying everything in the way.

"This was all done with the help of the Crimson Blood Magic's improved blood manipulation, aided by you imitating a Particle Accelerator.

"The Particle Accelerator within your extended blood plasma thread created Antimatter, making your next charged attack an Anti-physical slash that would erase matter.

"Once thrown, It immediately reached the edge of the universe, and everything beyond that point.

"When there's nothing within the middle of this world, a division is created, splitting up reality and generating several different universes around our tiny little bubble."

That was an insanely long explanation...

I forgot most of what he even said.

"Yawn..! Couldn't you have shortened all of that? I'm about to fall asleep now because of your nonsensical science lesson..."

"That was the shortest it could've gotten. It seems that that Shark's seals also affected your memories, accidentally deleting some of them."

Those words made me stand up when I was about to lay down on the couch.

"What?! She deleted my memories?!!"

"Don't worry. I know a lot about those seals, they can only make you forget recent events. In this case, most of the memories you had while fighting the "Baphomet" were removed."

I fell back on the couch, sighing.

Well. There's not much I can do now anyways. That Shark has already deleted them.

The door then opens, and the Tale of the Great White enters happily.

"I figured it out, Rireith!! 90% of the knowledge and information that you acquired from being nearly omniscient were all deleted!!"

"How great. What were those seals even supposed to do anyways?"

"I wanted to come here just so I could put them on you! They seal away your powers and abilities, but the words aren't actually necessary... The words only tell the tale of the great white!!"

"What?! Can you remove them then..!?"

"What? Why? Besides, if I removed them now, you'll suffer intense pain, and the seals will be removed as well..!"

"Sigh..."

She was being annoying.

I wanted to sleep as soon as possible but this couch wasn't that comfortable anymore.

"Also.... I wanted to ask you.... I-If you could help us for a while!!"

What a strange request, but it seems that there isn't much reason to deny it.

"Hm? Alright..? You came here just so you could seal my powers and help you guys out after trying to destroy me?"

"Nuh-uh! It appears that you are having a misconception about me! I'm a shark! But I'm also Keasius, the Ocean God!!"

"What does that have to do with anything..?"

"With Rireith, Shinpitekina, Keasius, and the Tale of the Great White together, this whole curse of the Blood God will finally be resolved!!"

So she just wants me to join her in resolving the Blood God's Curse? I thought she wanted me to help her with the Baphomet or something.

Well then. She'll be a great replacement for my lost allies until we find them.

"Baphomet wanted to kill you, so I came here mostly so that I could prevent that from happening! So you better thank me, okay?!!"

Rayan, Crowler, Lare, Feradon, Rintan, and Den...

I will find all of them so that we can all head into the Temporal Spatial Pyramids after this war is resolved.

Who actually is that Salmon Shark anyways..? What kind of knowledge do they hold?
