THE WORLD Is As Complex As It Can Be
8. An Unpredictable Woman

8. An Unpredictable Woman

“So, change of plans. You’ll be the one who should purge all of the gods above 20 dimensions”

Fedra said to Jay in a more equal tone as if that whole thing never happened. But why “gods”, I thought there was a difference between embodiments and gods?

“And what would you do?”

“Since you already monopolized him, I decided I should also spend time with him”

That “him” probably referred to me, but I agree. I don’t even know a thing about her other than that she is my mother.

“Sure, but wasn’t it your plan that I fetch and protect him for a month, while you handle all of the deities who plan to eat him?”

He used the word “deities”. It seemed the “gods” word choice by Fedra was just a mistake on her part considering she was a human.

So it was her plan and choice that Jay would be the one who would spend time with me, I agree with her since I enjoyed spending time with Jay even if it was chaotic and traumatic.

I shivered at the thought of the souls in pain.

“Yes, but I realized that killing them all takes a mental toll on me even if I send my avatars across all space and time.”

“Can’t you just use or to kill them all by yourself? You can do it in an instant-“

I was already familiar with absolute death and law manipulation, the control was new to me. In its name, it is probably just like law manipulation, I don’t know if it is stronger or weaker, but it definitely works the same way as law manipulation.

“No, no , law manipulations, nor . I want them to experience death for ruining the reputation of this face! I want them to experience nothingness”

She finished her statement by pointing at her face. But still, why is her face so feared? Maybe trauma?

“Going off the rails again, first just the deities who would want to kill Jared, now all deities that have dimensions of 20 or more? Plus, you are blaming them for having a traumatic experience with your face? You’re pretty bloodthirsty this year…. Fine, I’ll do it”

Fedra’s mood brightened instantly when he said that proclamation

“Only deities right? Since it wouldn’t make sense for me to kill a random 20-dimensional mortal just existing”

“Of course, that would be illogical.”

“Should I purge all of the deities in this world only, or all worlds?”

“All”

“I’ll just send my avatars, can I?”

She nodded at his question. They are just casually talking about mass genocide like it was a regular Tuesday.

“Now, speaking of deities, what happened a couple moments ago? Some universes destined for destruction managed to still exist for a couple of seconds…… did you seal the embodiment of destruction?”

“Speaking of the embodiment of destruction, why did you spare him?”

Jay asked a really good question, if her part was to kill the deities who were planning to kill me, then why did that guy survive?

“You already know the answer to that, why ask me questions?”

“Yes, I already know the answers to my questions. However, I still want to hear it from you”

…..

“Fine, I wanted you to personally kill him, so I was surprised when everything can’t be destroyed inside the world for a moment….. Can I borrow him?”

Jay just looked at me, and I immediately understood what he meant.

I opened a rift in space grabbed the sword by its handle and gave it to Fedra. She observed the designs of the sword for a moment until she just threw it to the ground.

In an instant, the guy who Jay sealed appeared. And just looking at her face caused him to scream as if he was mental and he immediately disappeared. Never knew embodiments could have PTSD.

After he disappeared, he appeared again, this time he didn’t disappear. A magic construct appeared around us, perhaps to store the energy that would be released.

He fell to the floor still screaming and raised both of his hands to generate a shield to separate him and his monster. There was no blur, Fedra just appeared in front of him with her hands penetrating his head. But I knew she didn’t teleport, she just moved so fast there was no blur even with these eyes.

“Seems you are getting adjusted to your celestial eyes”

So these eyes are called celestial eyes huh?

I made a mirror in front of me and noted the appearance of my eyes. In each of my eyes, there were two pupils and irises coexisting side by side. But the color of the new eyes was not pure black, they were glowing a dim blue light color. These new eyes may be the celestial eyes

“This is for having the face to try to kill my son”

It seems I can control their positions, and the more my celestial eyes overpower my normal eyes, the more and faster I can see. I’ll experiment on them later.

I proceeded to watch Fedra decapitate the poor guy somehow. I don’t even understand how she did it, that guy has an uncountable amount of heads. However, this may be because of the number of dimensions he has and Fedra just understands them better than me.

But, what happened to my sword?

A few seconds passed and the poor guy returned to being a sword. She picked it up from the ground and gave it to me with a gentle smile. Jay, I am scared.

“Hahaha!”

Jay let out a chuckle

“I’m done killing them all since I am free, can I play videogames with Jared lat-“

“No, he is all mine for now. Go to Ash and play some video games with him!”

Jay, I am scared. She is far too unpredictable. Who knows, she might kill me since I spilled some tea over the table.

I turned off my celestial eyes. I don’t know how, it just felt natural like raising an arm.

“Fine! Also, try not to teleport to Pandemonium… bye!”

“Noted”

Fedra said in a serious tone, wait was that warning real? What if she, I, or we teleport to that place?

He immediately disappeared. Jay, where are you? Jay? Jay?!

“So, anything you want to talk about? Don’t worry, I already know everything about you or this world”

She said while closing one eye and pointing a finger at her other open eye. She was also now sitting on her throne, did she teleport? She probably did. It would be awkward if I found out she hurriedly ran to her chair and sat on it while I was not looking

“….. how did I get these black irises”

I said while pointing at the eyes that made my life miserable.

“Your soul is a defect”

She said in her usual tone.

I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. She just insulted my very existence, and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t her intention, but that just made it even worse. But still, I kept calm.

“Explain”

“Think about it as a character customization, and your soul is the blueprint for your appearance. Your atoms meanwhile are like the codes. What happened is that the “code” for your soul put more molecules in your eyes. Can you guess what molecule it is?”

It probably was melanin since I remembered from my biology class that melanin was the one that gives the eyes its colors

“Melanin?”

“No-“

…..

Oh……

“The color of your irises is formed the same way your hair is formed. Notice the similarities in the colors?”

"Yes”

So there was a connection, I thought it was just a coincidence that somehow my hair and eyes have the same color. Something darker than black. Perhaps that is the reason why on an X-ray, I can see my hair and even my eyes. Creepy.

“The code for your hair color was copied to your eyes. And celestial cells are really unique, all cells of a celestial use a unique molecule not found in all worlds. And if it is arranged in an octagonal way, the cells will absorb all electromagnetic waves. That gives your eyes the pure void color, there is simply no light to reflect”

Still, she never told me the name of the molecule.

“So, what is the name of the molecule?”

She just looked at me as if I was a weirdo once again.

“Didn’t I tell you the molecule is not found in all worlds? That means it doesn’t exist except inside a celestial body. It has no name since there is no point in naming it”

….. why did she even let me guess what molecule it was if it has no name?

“You are probably thinking about celestials right now, but I don’t want to explain such messy details about that endangered species-“

She just casually insulted Jay’s race, also endangered? Why? Plus I was not even thinking of Celestials, oh well, further proof that she can’t read my mind.

“Just go to the box in the box-“

And where even is that? Should I put a box inside a box?

“And insert this key. You’ll get all the information you want”

A key manifested in her hands and she threw them at me. Of course, I easily caught it since she threw it gently.

“But, do that later. Let me introduce you to my empire!”

In an instant, the walls of the throne room vanished, and the view to the outside greeted my sight. There were a lot of flying cars everywhere with multidimensional beings everywhere. There even were 3-dimensional “creatures” roaming the roads.

“Wait, where even are we?”

“…… Did he just teleport you here without telling you where you two would go?”

“Yes, why?”

She maintained her gaze on me with a dumbfounded look for a couple of seconds until she just let out an exhausted sigh.
