Chapter 123: Eve’s Role (II)
“Eve, I’d like to talk about something,” I said as I sat on the couch, my gaze fixed on the door.
“Yes, Alan?” Eve’s voice echoed in my mind.
“I think you know what I am going to talk but anyway, could you tell me what’s happening? I didn’t see any task or notification from you?” I said as I leaned back while I crossed my arms and sat down comfortably.
I didn’t hear a reply for a while, then I heard her sigh. “Your reasoning was correct. I believe you should know what happened to me.” Suddenly, I heard a mocking laugh.
I was astonished since this is the first time I had heard her express such depressing emotions.
“What happened?” I asked hurriedly.
“What happened? You should not, under any circumstances, ask that question. You don’t know if you’ll lose sight of your life’s purpose. Heh, how will you know when you don’t have a purpose in your life right now? Anyway, let me tell you a story. Maybe now isn’t the right time, but I’ll tell you something, anyway.”
Her rant astounded me, but I remained silent to hear what she had to say.
“Do you know what my purpose was?” She asked me.
“To make me stronger,” I said, my gaze still fixed on the door.
“Hmm, do you have any idea why I was created?” She inquired once more.
“I believe it is to assist me. For some Evolutionary Game,” I replied, my brow furrowed.
“True, but you don’t understand the point of Game of Evolution. Its purpose is to make you…” She paused in the middle.
“Make me what?” I asked. I was really amused.
However, she sighed and asserted, “I believe it is not the suitable time to discuss this, but just be assured of one thing. You are not a part of the Game of Evolution.”
“Huh?” What exactly is she saying? Isn’t that the reason I migrated to this world?
“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice slightly raised. Isn’t that a waste of time to come to this world? My struggle was pointless. I was under the impression that I was a part of some grand scheme the whole time.
“I meant what I said when I said you were moved to this world as part of a game. But one day, my connection to that GOD was severed, and I was left with only one command. To make you stronger,” She explained.
“Huh? What exactly are you saying? Who gave the order?” I inquired. I was taken aback when she said she wanted to make me stronger.
“Don’t overthink things and pay attention to what I’m saying. And I do not know who gave the order,” She clarified.
“Tell me,” I sighed. Let me hear her out first.
“You know now that my connection has been severed. Nonetheless, I assigned tasks following the command and sought to make you stronger. Everything was fine until you drank that blood and your body changed. Even though I knew it would be beneficial. But I didn’t expect it to have such a big impact on your body.” She paused for a moment before saying,
“Your body changed so drastically that I could not control it, and then one day an unknown Power changed me. That day, I experienced my first emotion. And it was for the first time that I felt surprised. Surprised because everything has changed ever since that day,”
“So, what now? Would you still assign me tasks?” I wondered out loud. This was the crucial question in my mind right now.
“To be honest, it doesn’t matter whether I assign you the task or not. Your body is still changing. Even I don’t have the power to do anything about it. So it would be preferable if I assisted you in controlling the sudden outburst of Power. Aside from that, I would advise you on which tasks would help you gain strength. Don’t worry, I’ll be there for you. I would undoubtedly assist you in your growth and would never abandon you.”
And just as she said that, she appeared in front of me. My jaw dropped when I saw that. “Ho…How is that possible?”
Her face still resembled Lucia’s, but something was off. But then I had a realization and asked aloud, “Was it Lucia who commanded you?”
But she shook her head and said, “I can’t say,”
Her response astounded me. Even though she said nothing, I had a feeling it was Lucia who had given her the order. My gaze was drawn back to her, and I asked.
“Are you still able to read my dreams and thoughts?”
“Everything is the same, Alan, except me,” she said as she looked at me.
“What about my second evolution? I believe my attributes were getting close to the limit.” I wondered aloud. It was crucial to me because my entire development depends on my second evolution.
“Don’t worry, everything will happen when the time is right. And I would be there to support you.” She said while she looked at me.
When I heard her reply, I nodded, my gaze fixed on her. As I stood up and walked towards her, a thought occurred to me. As I tried to touch her cheeks, my hands passed through her.
Tanya entered the room as my hand passed through her. I was rooted to the spot. My head turned to look at her. Who was looking at me, perplexed, as she said,
“What are you doing?”
Huh? She wasn’t able to see her. My attention was drawn back to Eve, who was staring at me as my hand passed through her. I waved my hand two more times before turning to face Tanya and saying, “It was just a mosquito.”
“Huh? Mosquito?” She said as she walked towards me.
Her brows were scrunched as her eyes scanned the place where I was waving my hand.
“Where is the mosquito?” she asked, while her eyes were still searching.
“What are you looking for? It flew away,” I said as I pulled back my hands.
Tanya paused as he looked at me for a second before strolling towards the couch and sitting on it.
My gaze pulled towards Eve for a second before she disappeared from the place as I also sat beside her on the couch.
She turned to face me for a moment before sighing and saying, “What exactly happened to you? I told you before that you needed to learn to control your anger. Don’t you realize you’re still not an official member of the forces, and messing with people like them will cause you problems?”
For a moment, my gaze was fixed on her lovely face before I closed my eyes and leaned back on the couch, saying, “I don’t know what happened to me. But one thing was certain: I didn’t like the way he looked at you. I understand that I have no right to intervene. But I didn’t like his obsession, which was visible in his eyes, and who the hell was he to give me such an order? There’s one more thing. The potential I’ve displayed to the forces. I am confident that no one will be able to touch me until I am powerful enough. I believe that I am a valuable asset to them. But don’t worry, I will not be arrogant just because I’m immune. I understand that I must prove my potential to perform.”
I took a deep breath as I ranted to Tanya. Honestly, I was really feeling too frustrated down there. Thanks to Eve, my mind was diverted towards her.
But suddenly, Eve’s voice echoed in my mind.
“You are most welcome,”
Huh?
But then my eyes pulled to Tanya, who had an astonished expression on her face, but then a smirk formed on her face.
“You were jealous?”
“Yes, I was,” I told her the truth.
“But why is that? Didn’t you say you’d come after me when you’re stronger than me?” She asked, her large round eyes fixed on me.
“Even though I said that I still have the right to be jealous, and I was when that man looked at you like that,”
Tanya’s gaze was fixed on my face for a moment before she sighed and said, “Don’t overthink things. Bret joined forces at the same time as I did, and he was also the commander of one of the alpha team’s units. But we couldn’t meet most of the time because we were posted on different sites,. And, to be honest, I only met him today, after all these years. And, just so you know, he invited me to dinner today.” She came to a halt and looked at me.
I arched my eyebrows as I looked at her. “And?”
“I said Ok,”
Suddenly, something struck my heart as I took a deep breath and nodded.
“That’s fine; it’s your life, and you can do whatever you want with it. Please don’t feel obligated to say anything to me.”
