"You are right, weak and ignorant such as you do not have the right to have dreams. But if you are ready to agree with me, you will have the power of a being who will far exceed the power of these weak beings such as the creatures of the flower. Magical affinities that had never existed in this universe as your shadow affinity! And finally, no one in this universe will be able to defeat you even if the Punishers and Leaders unite against you!" Just after throwing this bait in front of Alvine who was like a man hungry for power, he got up without even waiting for his answer and stretched out his hand to him.
"What do you have behind your head?" Alvine naturally did not tighten his wrist, instead, his mistrust went up one more.
"I'm offering you a market, as you can see. Sooner or later, your current weakness will overcome your will. Once your will is weakened, it will affect your heart, which in turn, will affect your magical power. If such a thing ever happens, you know what will await you yourself. Just like the incident that occurred with the queen of vampires, you will suffer the same spells becoming a simple mortal who will be unable to use his magical energy. Forever!" Dalvine dictated this frightening future to him as if he were able to see Alvine's future.
"..."
Seeing him silent, he continued nonchalantly. "You know I'm right, don't you? You may not have noticed yet, but the system that can block your affinities, impose punishments, and give you rewards, is actually not able to do its things only because you have unconsciously accepted it as superior to you. In your opinion, what would happen if you knew you were superior to the system? Power is not just a matter of rank and magical energy. It is also a question of will and conviction." He revealed this fact that left Alvine in a state of illogical perplexity.
He frowned towards Dalvine accompanied by an incredulous expression. "What kind of nonsense are you telling me about here? If the magic was so simple, do you think that I and the billions of cultivators will kill themselves to the task to cultivate so fiercely to increase our powers? If magical power depended solely on our will and conviction, it will be as if you are breaking the balance of magic science. Do you at least know what you're telling me right now? Unless I'm the person who misinterpreted your words?!" Alvine asked him in a mocking tone obviously, he not believing Dalvine's words.
"Sigh, magic, affinities, laws, and especially the magical potential are determined since the birth of a living being. First, he must have a heart capable of containing magical energy. Second, a spirit who is blessed by universal laws that give us the chance to use this energy, commonly called, mana to convert it into an affinity that we wish to use to cast spells. To be able to use these affinities, it may depend on the place of our birth, the genes inherited by the parents, and also the awakening that can easily be interpreted as the in-depth understanding of said affinity." Alvine recited the courses he had learned with Sabrina to enlighten the ignorant man who was trying to complicate things for him.
Hearing his proud explanations, Dalvine burst out laughing at his explanations.
"What's funny about my words?" said Alvine grumbled while asking Dalvine this question. His irritation was on a completely different level. If he was not with Dalvine in the real world, he would leave him in his delirium and go out into the dimension; but only God knew what Dalvine would do if Alvine left him to himself on the planet of the Kelspies.
After hearing Alvine's question, he stopped in his madness and looked at him with a pitiful air as if he were looking at an innocent person who had been taught from a young age that the sun was the supreme deity who decided the death and life of living beings.
"Tsk, can you stop looking at me with this kind of pity? This look from you makes me want to end my days!" He replied with sarcasm.
"Sigh, it's stronger than me. But I can't take you guilty of your narrow-mindedness either. Your mind is...how should I explain this? Hmm..." He supported his chin with his thumb as he thought about a better explanation to describe Alvine's current mental state.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ "You look like a man who had grown up among the beasts and who thinks that walking on four legs is faster for him than running on both legs." He announced to him with this ridiculous example.
"You find it ridiculous, don't you? But think for a second, in your opinion, how do you manage to have so many affinities with you when you were not born as a primordial being but as a simple mortal? If your explanations are true, then how do you explain the fact that the system can reward you magical affinities that are given only by universal law from birth?" He asked him this question after being satisfied with ridiculing him.
"The system does not give me these affinities, it just unlocks the affinities of this body that had inherited all these affinities. I was just lucky that I reincarnated in a body that is blessed."
"False!" Even before Alvine caught his breath after giving his answer, Dalvine impassively replied to him with this word while pointing his index finger at him.
"The fact that you have so many affinities does not come from your body, but from your soul that is not from this universe created by the flower. I'm not going to go into too much detail but let me wake you up as long as we talk about it. Just like me, you don't need to worry about the universal knowledge and laws of this world. Our powers do not need to have this unnecessary weakness. Like mine, you no longer have to worry about these minor affinity problems such as elementary, intermediate, advanced, and rare affinities. Nor of these laws, who insignificant like the mortal, divine, and primordial law. You already have everything you need to submit these insignificant powers with your will."
"Your perception would even be able to see through billions of light years if you had not been told that holy-ranking Magi had limited perceptions. You would normally have no problem using all affinities and laws if you had not been convinced that for a mage to use such powers, he needed to reach an adequate level. Power, magic energy means nothing for beings like us."
"What you need to do now is three things. Focus on the breakthrough to raise this deadly envelope to help it reach the highest rank, and cultivate your soul and mind. To explain to you most simply, The rest depends only on the strength of your soul and body to bear the counter-attacks that come with it." He ended his lesson by leaving Alvine in confusion.
Alvine could understand some of these words when he heard her say that his powers depend only on his imagination.
His universal law appeared on him only because the black hole was one of his obsessions when he was on earth. The energy-sharing skill is also due to his ferocious desire to help his loved ones in a battle. The reason for his passive competence that makes him immune to all curses and enslavement spells is also due to similar factors. But despite everything, Dalvine's words were too unusual, insofar as these words were not accompanied by his assertion that his soul did not come from this universe.
"What do you mean by my soul does not come from this universe? Is there another universe independent of it with thousands of planets and living beings?" He asked with a thoughtful air.
"Kuku, you're really ignorant. In your opinion, where do your shadow soldiers and including me come from? The laws of this universe differ from those of your universe. You can use the affinity of shadow which is not an affinity of this universe only because you do not belong to this universe. But unlike this universe which has only one owner, this is not the case for the other. For now, you don't have to worry about these details. If you care about your loved ones and their well-being, you'd better become strong. Because we don't have much time ahead of us anymore." He murmured his last sentence with a solemn expression that erased the smile on his face, for the first time.
'So, this affinity is called affinity of shadow and not affinity of darkness?' Alvine did not need to ask him about his concerns. Obviously, he knew that Dalvine was not going to say more about it.
"Well, do you want to spend this fucking deal with me or not?" He asked once again after giving Alvine some explanations.
After a long moment of silence, while weighing advantages against inconvenience, Alvine sighed for indecision. "What do you want in exchange? Freedom? Possess my body like last time or something else?" He asked Dalvine before making his decision.
"Kuku, I don't want any of that. In exchange for my private lessons, I want you to accept a request from me when the time comes." He made this request, which was obviously a trap that was just waiting to devour its bait.
But Alvine had no choice but to conclude this agreement with Dalvine if he wanted to confirm his hypotheses. But despite everything, he also announced his conditions. "As long as your request in no way involves my loved ones and does not ask me to do the impossible, then I accept your deal." He says with a sublime smile.
"Kuku, So, it's a deal!" He said with a mischievous smile while his consciousness gradually disappeared in Alvine's duplicate body. "Kuku, I left a small gift on the parchment for you. Don't hesitate to thank me." Even if his consciousness was no longer in the actual world, his voice still resonated in the room.
"Sigh, why do I feel like I've done something worse than selling my soul to the devil? In short, this world is home to beings who are worse than the demons of purgatory." He said, looking at the golden parchment on the bed.
"Let's first take advantage of this flaw before the system returns to charge. Sigh, I'm sure he will impose another punishment on me if I refuse to show him my memories. Finally, it is also an experience that will allow me to check some crazy theory." He said, sitting on the bed and studying the contents of the parchment while his lookalike stood next to the bed with an inexpressive expression.
