She put aside that painful memory.

Lanaery looked around her in bewilderment.

"...Where I'm?"

She wondered as she touched the soft bed she was on.

What made her feel strange the most was that her body, not having divine power, felt completely empty. Although her physical condition, such as her strength and agility, was still fine.

With a bitter smile, she saw how her elemental perception was completely chained. She just shook her head, not wanting to think about it.

Since everything that happened to her was a punishment imposed by the elements for her incompetence.

Buzz!

Suddenly, with a strange sound that Lanaery had never heard before, she saw a young woman with ruby hair with purple tips and a voluptuous body enter a door that opened in a very strange way for her.

This was clearly the young woman she had seen before she passed out.

"I'm glad she's awake!"

"It's been three days without you waking up, which made me think maybe you were sick or something."

"How do you feel?"

Rose, who was the one who just entered, looked warmly and kindly at Lanaery as she spoke to her.

Although she also looked at her with admiration and amazement.

Even after three days, she felt that getting used to Lanaery's appearance was very difficult.

She was simply too beautiful to be real.

This was understandable since despite losing her divine aura, her golden hair, and sparkling white eyes. Lanaery's overall appearance was still flawless and perfect in every way.

Everything was beautiful, from her straight black hair that spread down her delicate and pretty back. Her golden eyes with a calm look, as if she had lived many years despite looking seventeen or eighteen.

Her white skin had a perfect contour, the ideal shape, and the most perfect texture that no other woman had.

Finally, there was her body with curves in all the right places, giving her a look that was neither too sexy nor too innocent.

She was simply a work of art without equal in the world!

"?"

Lanaery looked at Rose in confusion. She didn't understand a thing this young lady who was staring at her said.

Ever since she defeated Azther, she had been going through things that made her think that maybe she had already died and was living in an illusion created by her soul.

Well, she just had a random thought since she could affirm with her senses that everything was real.

"Hello? Can you hear me? Does something hurt?"

While Rose kept trying to talk to Lanaery, resulting in nothing. She was looking at Rose's hair.

This was all because, on Sacred Origin, hair indicated the element a hero wore. At best, they were differentiated by a lighter or darker shade.

But the girl in front of her had ruby-colored hair, which was not unusual. What seemed strange to her was that her tips were purple, and her pupils were also purple.

Other than that, the clothes this young woman was wearing were something Lanaery had never seen. It was a fashion that on the Sacred Origin did not exist.

What puzzled her the most was that these clothes did not contact the air in this room.

As if it didn't exist.

As her five senses were trained to the limit of her body, this little detail was quite obvious to her. With her senses, she could see without needing to use her eyes, just relying on her sense of smell and her ears.

Speaking of Rose's clothes, what she wore was all ice blue. She wore a blue off-the-shoulder blouse with a short blue skirt that reached her knees and a pair of blue boots.

Beneath her boots, she had on a pair of black pantyhose that matched the rest of her clothing very well.

At this point, Lanaery understood perfectly that this was not the Sacred Origin and that it was definitely a place far away from her world.

Perhaps a world in the depths of the abyss(space).

"C-could it be that you can't hear? If so, I'm really sorry!"

Rose bowed her head apologetically, thinking that she had offended Lanaery.

"Eh? But wait... How could something like this happen if there are all kinds of technologies capable of curing deafness?"

Lanaery, who was lost in thought, watched as the young woman in front of her suddenly shook her head.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

She found this quite adorable.

To end the suffering of this young woman who did not understand what was happening, she said, "The language you use is different from mine. This is a clear language barrier."

The language barrier was something Lanaery was familiar with, as there were several races on the Sacred Origin that used different languages than her hero race.

"Eh?"

Rose, with question marks in her eyes, was silent for a few seconds until she finally understood what was going on!

A different language!

This was something that made no sense to her in the current century.

If it was more than four hundred years ago, it would have been perfectly normal. But now, it was something that couldn't possibly exist.

Lanaery, seeing how this young woman was lost in her thoughts, just closed her eyes and began to organize her thoughts.

All because she feared that what had happened with Azther on the Sacred Origin would affect her sanity.

In Rose's mind, all sorts of thoughts were going through.

From what she had learned at the academy, humans had been using a single language for a good four hundred years.

The Earth language.

In the past, when it was not used, it was when the ancient seven continents still existed. Back then, languages were varied, and people were divided by their physical appearance.

One of the main differences was the color of their skin or their facial features.

Everything looked like it was going to stay the same. Until one day in the year 2200, seven rainbow-colored meteorites fell to Earth. Two of these meteorites collided with each other, breaking into countless fragments that scattered everywhere.

The other five fell intact and were soon collected by the governments of the various continents and countries.

Tens of years passed without anything important happening, until out of nowhere, the whole world began to change abruptly.

Every continent was plunged into chaos.

Animals and insects began to mutate into terrifying mutated creatures that spewed fire, ice, lightning, and many other elements.

Some continents sank under the ocean, while others had thunderstorms with lightning capable of destroying buildings over five hundred meters tall!

Disasters were very different on each continent.

The only thing that saved humans from extinction was that eight completely new continents appeared out of nowhere!

In fact, without anyone noticing. Perhaps due to the chaotic situation, the planet Earth swelled to at least five times its original size.

Using ships, planes, or any other means of transportation, a little more than half of humanity survived by moving to these new continents.

Something that reassured them was that the mutated creatures of the old continents could not leave their territories.

As if there was an invisible barrier on each continent that prevented them from leaving.

Four hundred years later, after having adapted to this new way of the world. Humans were once again the kings of the world!

Or well... 70% of the world.

Since there were two other extremely dangerous new continents, the oceans and seas were death zones, and there were still countless mutated creatures on the old continents.

But there were already humans with the strength to destroy mountains and evaporate seas!

Rose stopped thinking about things that she learned in elementary school.

She quickly thought of a device that was created three hundred years ago that would be perfect for Lanaery in her current situation, as it allowed her to learn the current language in a few minutes!

Surprising as it may sound, it was outdated technology.

The good thing was that there were still some copies on the internet that antique collectors had and would probably sell as long as she offered them a good price.

She activated the holographic display on her wristband, and in half a minute, she finished buying the translation device she wanted.

Rose looked at Lanaery, who was waiting for her in silence, and made a sign with her hands for her to wait a moment.

Buzz!

Lanaery, who had finally finished adjusting to her mental state, saw Rose walk away as she motioned for her to wait for her.

One thing Lanaery found interesting about Rose was the holographic display on her wrist. Lanaery, who did not understand anything that was happening in this place, just decided to leave it for later.

As she waited, Lanaery looked at what was in this room curiously.

After looking around for a few seconds, she only found it interesting that there was a rectangular box on the ceiling that was attached to the metal-textured wall.

This box expelled cold air that kept the room at a very pleasant temperature.

But it seemed strange to her that there was no trace of ice or wind element in this rectangular box.

Finally, she stood in front of a wall very different from the rest. This wall was glass, but from the outside, it looked like metal like the other walls.

In one corner of this glass wall was a small neon blue square.

As if it were a button.

Lanaery silently looked at this button and, with her hand, pressed it.

Her curiosity got the best of her.

"The window is opening. Enjoy the view."

A female voice was heard in the room, causing Lanaery to look around in alarm, but she found nothing.

She stopped searching for the origin of this voice when the glass wall in front of her began to change color until it became completely transparent.

Lanaery's beautiful golden eyes gazed at the unforgettable scene in front of her.

She saw a forest full of vitality, with flowers, insects, animals, and birds using this forest as a habitat.

The sunlight illuminated everything with great intensity.

She saw in the distance a massive city that seemed to be made of glass. There were countless people in this city and all kinds of metal objects that she didn't understand what they did.

One thing she instantly recognized was the countless metallic creatures that were everywhere in this city.

She recalled seeing several of these creatures in the glass shards before passing out.

"So beautiful..."

Lanaery said with a look of loneliness and longing.

Buzz!

Rose walked into the room with a small container that had a winged Earth logo on the lid.

"!"

She was pleasantly surprised to see Lanaery's profile bathed in sunlight. Rose could swear she felt like she was seeing a goddess in stories of magic.

Lanaery, who had regained her calm gaze, looked at the small silver container in Rose's hands.

"Oh!"

Rose forced herself to stop looking at Lanaery.

She truly felt that the beauty of the young woman in front of her was something that could very well cause disaster.

It was fortunate that these days, people cared more about strength than appearance. This was what Rose thought.

She opened the container with her fingerprints and took out a small silver choker with a gold jewel in the center.

This jewel that emitted small pulses of light had a circular shape.

Rose motioned for the beautiful young woman to put the choker around her neck.

Lanaery, with the silver choker in her hands, looked with interest at the small golden jewel. Unfortunately, she did not feel any divine power within this jewel.

Doing as Rose instructed, Lanaery placed the choker around her neck.

Instantly, this choker adjusted to the size of her neck, and its jewel began to shine.

Suddenly, golden lines of circuitry extended from the golden jewel and ran across her smooth skin to her head.

Dozens of images flashed into her mind, each image showing her something she knew in her native language and etching into her head how to say it in the Earth language.

Then hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of images appeared, until in just a couple of minutes, she had already understood almost all of this language.

At best, she needed to get used to the pronunciation.

Lanaery was amazed at this treasure that taught her the entire language that the people of this world called the Earth language.

With a relatively high command of the Earth language, Lanaery looked at Rose and said with a somewhat awkward pronunciation, "This treasure of yours is incredible, young lady."
