Chapter 166: The Statue of the dancing star in a ruin
Divine Qi is known as the fragment of gods given to new to-be gods by an unknown entity. It\'s the core of all creations and the energy of all existence.
Which means, as long as a god has the divine Qi, creation isn\'t something that stays imaginary. A demigod is also able to create new things that have mass and weight just like other objects of the world.
Viktor also gained the power that has the ability to create new things. His fragment became more powerful and his records became more informative. By that, he became aware that his brother was already outside the earth. He was inside the realm of god, assisted by Lucifer secretly.
He was violating the law by receiving help from god before the tournament and advertising himself as a god on his own to heaven\'s gate realm.
It was a crime but somehow, his crimes were erased by another person from the gods\' realm.
\'So you love to play your game this way huh? I didn\'t know you already received your divine Qi and went to the realm. Not only that, you left some of your clones to annoy me to death.\'
He closed his brother\'s record and put it inside the bookshelf.
\'Let\'s see how long you intend to bother me. I\'m not that type to give up so easily. I want to stay here as long as I can.\'
Viktor then walked out of the office with his coat on his arm and looked around the street. The day dawned so there were more people walking on the street than in the morning. They were all heading to their destination.
He then looked above and saw the billboard advertising the new hybrid schools openly.
\'The face of this world has charged.\' He noticed a person was taking his photos from the other side of the street secretly. He also noticed Viktor looking straight into the camera so he quickly started to take pictures of some random person on the street.
But little did he know that Viktor already approached him and took a seat in front of him. The table had a bottle of alcohol.
"Uncle, it\'s a bad habit to take pictures secretly."
That man became startled to see Viktor in front of him and said, "You almost gave me a heart attack. How come you\'re sitting here when you were there a second ago?"
"That\'s because I\'m a mana user."
The middle-aged man with grey messy hair sighed and said, "You mean hybrids. I didn\'t know hybrids could move that fast. As expected of the North family prodigy."
"You\'re flattering me, Mr Directive." Viktor smiled and poured the cheap alcohol into the small glass. When he was about to drink it, the investigator said, "Are you above 18? If not, you\'re not allowed to drink that."
"You\'re investigating me, and yet you\'re not aware of my age. If I\'m not allowed to drink, your ancestors aren\'t allowed either."
"W..what do you mean?"
"Nothing. Just ask me what you want to know. I\'m free now."
The directive hesitated to talk but after a minute he finally talked. He said, "You\'re Viktor North. Did you do something to Rae Li? As a citizen of this country, he has the right to speak about his conditions. Since he\'s also a part of the national military force, he needs to give us a statement and apply for a leave of absence from his duty."
\'So that\'s why he was trying to talk to me. I see, now I\'m the bad guy who imprisoned Rae. Well, that\'s not entirely wrong.\'
Viktor then replied, "He refused to abide by the law of the North family. Also, he\'s suffering from mana exhaustion. So he won\'t be able to join the disciplinary committee missions for a while."
"And how are we supposed to believe that? He\'s a powerful hybrid and he\'s also considered a national treasure. His gravity magic is so advanced and he\'s a role model to so many aspiring hybrids hiding in the shadows. The North family can\'t just hide him just because he broke some rules. If your family is not going to show his face to the public, I\'m afraid the government has to take measures against your family."
Viktor chuckled a little and said, "The government will take measures against our family? Have you ever thought about the consciences of going against us? We, the North family, control the government. Some punk from the Li family isn\'t a big deal. With his strength, he can\'t even land a fatal blow on me, let alone defeat me. Moreover, he even has lost his will to speak."
The directive frowned and asked, "So, I assume that the North family has tortured him? What crime did he commit that your family has taken action against him?"
"He has betrayed me. That\'s why. Anyway, he has already received his punishment and he is doing very well."
Viktor then finished the whole bottle and again said, "That\'s not very nice to hide your mana like that. I can sense that you are hiding your mana with that device but it\'s not worth it in front of me. I can also see that you\'re a wind magic user hybrid, and powerful on top of that. But let me tell you something. Those cheap tricks don\'t work on me since I\'m the strongest here. And not even a human on top of that."
"What do you mean by you\'re not a human? You\'re a hybrid, right? We are also human, but with a power boost."
"Nope, since we\'re having this type of conversation, let me spill some beans."
Viktor then ordered some food and alcohol for him and the directive. He then took off his tie and untied his short hair.
"This universe is nothing but a small atom in the void. Human body has approximately 7 octillions of atoms, right?"
Directive Jiwon nodded yes and concentrated on the conversation after taking a sip of his alcohol.
"The existence of the universal void is also the same. We currently have 8.9 billion people and each of us has 7 octillions of atoms. I\'m not even mentioning the non-living things such as air, ground, water and other things that exist. So, let\'s say we are currently living in an atom in the swarm of an infinite amount of atoms.
One atom is one universe.
If I say that this universe is an atom that is situated in some greater thing or being among that infinite amount of atoms? How small would the universe become?"
"Then we\'re basically nothing. If one universe is one atom, what exists outside?"
Viktor smirked and answered, "The void. The core of the non-exist. Creation is yet to take place there. And it doesn\'t have any limitations."
"So, we\'re not alone in this universe."
"Heheh… mortals are so naive."
"You talk as if you\'re not a human yourself."
Viktor then smiled and said, "Mortals are so naive and yet so lucky that the god of judgement has made your souls immortal. After death, every mortal will go through the judicial procedure. Then they can either go to heaven or hell. And live there forever in the matrix, that will repeat infinitely."
Viktor then looked at him and saw he wasn\'t even drunk. He was so concentrated on the conversation that the alcohol simply emitted out of his body. He then asked, "I\'m not that religious person. I don\'t believe in God either. But if the thing you\'re telling me is true, then what is the purpose of our existence? Why are we born so small and fragile? Humanity can\'t even reach Mars. How are we supposed to go outside and see it?"
"Mortals aren\'t supposed to go by spaceship or rocket in order to see the outside. They were never meant to do so. If a mortal wants to go outside, he must achieve the 6th heavenly Qi. Then he can just teleport to anywhere he wants. Well, it\'s not something even those old fart masters in heaven gate realm can do."
"What are you even talking about-_-?" Jiwon asked because everything was going over his head.
So Viktor laughed and said, "Sorry, did I make you too confused? Anyway, let\'s make it clear for you to understand. The nearest habitable planet besides earth is situated in the Andromeda galaxy. There\'s a planet called Vixi where humans and mythical creatures live. This might sound so stupid but it\'s true."
"And how can you be so sure?" Jiwon asked.
"Hm? I\'m a demigod after all. I\'m the demigod of all living records. I\'ve lived there for more than a decade."
Jiwon burst into laughter and said, "You\'re crazy!! You\'re a total freak!! Ahahah!! Maybe that\'s why you were kicked out of the school. Ahahaha….. aaaaa. Aa?"
Suddenly he found himself in a strange place. The sky suddenly became bright because of the sun. There were two moons so close to the planet that it was visible even in the bright daylight.
He then thought that he was under some illusion. So he closed his eyes and started to use field vision to check his surroundings. But what he saw was nothing but a place nourished with pure mana. There were creatures around him that he had never seen before.
So he again opened his eyes and saw Viktor in a different outfit. He was wearing something out of a classic European younger men\'s closet.
"Where are we?" Jiwon asked.
"It\'s Vixi, a habitable planet of the Andromeda galaxy. Pretty cool, isn\'t it? Although it has changed so much in five hundred years, the magical world rarely develops. Come on, let\'s go inside Omega, I miss the old man\'s grape wine."
Jiwon was so confused because everything accelerated so quickly and he found himself on another planet. It was so hard to believe but even illusions also have their limitations. Because it can\'t give him the taste of something that he had never tried before. Moreover, the language he was speaking was also something that didn\'t exist on earth.
How was he so sure?
He has studied language and he knows what every language sounds like. But Vesa was totally on a different level. And that\'s how he realised that he wasn\'t under any mind control or illusion magic.
It was all real.
Jiwon then walked outside the bar and asked, "I still can\'t believe that I\'m in a different world. I\'m sorry that I laughed and called you a crazy person. But now I get it. You\'re not someone who enjoys spouting lies. Everything you said is true."
"I\'m glad we\'re finally on the same page."
Viktor then went to Vestrain where he used to live and eventually ended up in the red light district where he saw the black-haired lady dancing. But it was a ruin instead of a peaceful neighbourhood. A war broke out after they left and it took more than millions of lives.
He then approached the place where she was dancing and imagined her. He raised his hand and created a replica of her dancing with pure white marble stone. Her statue was so detailed that it looked like it would walk down and start to dance.
Jiwon was surprised to see her niece\'s statue in revealing clothes.
"What is going on here!!!" He shouted.
"Oh, her? Your niece is the reincarnation of her. Look closely. She is more mature looking. Your niece is just a kid. She was a prostitute and this area used to be the red light district. At night, this neighbour used to be dazzled with red lamps and lights. The musicians used to play music and all those butterflies and stars-like ladies used to dance with the rhythm. They used to drown men deep inside their hearts and make them come over every night. She was also one of the butterflies. She laid her eyes on me but I didn\'t pay attention to her. When I went to earth, I saw your niece. If you\'re close to her, you must be aware of her dreams. Right?"
Jiwon then remembered something that his niece used to say everyday after waking up. She used to say that she saw a man with silver eyes in a street where she was dancing freely. But the handsome silver-eyed man walked away and never looked back. She also used to dance in a strange and very appealing way so her mother used to get angry. After she grew up, she stopped dancing like that but still, she had the same dream everyday and even talked about it to her uncle.
Jiwon then looked at the white statue and saw the same body expression as her dancing. The statue looked like it was her dancing just as she used to do in her childhood.
Viktor then looked back at Jiwon and saw those bright silver eyes that a normal human can\'t develop. Everything became clear to him so he asked, "Was that you in her dream?"
Viktor smiled and said, "Yes, I am that person she saw in her dream. It was actually a memory from her past life. But don\'t worry. I\'ve erased her past life memory so she will never have that dream again."
"You can erase memories?"
"I\'m a demigod after all. Did you forget already? I will live forever and encounter so many people that I\'ve seen in the distant past. She is one of them and if our luck crosses, I might even see her thousands of years later. Or maybe never because a human can live for a limited time."
Viktor then again said, "Let\'s go back. Adonis will be mad if he senses my mana is gone from earth even if it\'s for a minute."
Jiwon then followed Viktor outside the ruin and in an instant, they came back to earth. On their way, Jiwon grabbed a book for his study and bowed to Viktor.
Since he finally realised that Viktor wasn\'t someone to be considered as a normal human being, he just destroyed the audio recording device. He then left for home with the book he bought from another planet.
"But why did he take the BL book out of all the magic books in the store-_-? Maybe I should\'ve said something when he picked that book-_-. Well, whatever. I\'m going back home now. Adonis is on his way there already."
Viktor then took his coat and left for home after paying for the food.
