Chapter 663 Possibility of Death
<Host! Host!! can you hear me?>
The voice was faint and sounded as if it was about to fade off, but Lenny recognized that voice and held on tight to it.
After all, it was the embryonic voice of the Satan System.
"Yes, I can. Where am I? Why can't I get out of here and why are my powers gone?"
lenny bombarded the embryonic soul with a lot of questions. Then again, he couldn't be blamed for this. His confusion as to what was happening was great.
<According to my analyses, your body is in the perimeter of the Gate's influence. To be precise, You are in the red sands. The Gate leads to reality. However, it is sealed shut and protected by two angels of incredible might. Nothing gets in through it, and nothing goes out of it. However, like most doors in the world, it has little openings at its sides that allow the aura of creation to seep into the Nether.
A strategy of the One Above all to gradually influence the Nether.
Nevertheless, the aura of creation should not be in the Nether. Both of them are components that should never mix with one another. One is reality, and the other is none existence in existence. Their attributes, at a fundamental level should cancel out one another.
And that was what was happening. The mixture of attributes of these two sides creates its own unique circumstance, and that is why around the gate is field with the Red sands. These are a corrupt mixture of Creation and the Nether both trying to exert their dominance.
Therefore, it results to the freezing state as it is customary with the Nether. However, the mind is pulled into a different scenario of reality that his molded from one's own thoughts memories and the possibility of a futuristic encounter.>
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLenny listened attentively to the explanation as given by the embryonic soul of the Satan system.
"So all this is just in my head?"
<Yes, Yes it is! However, things are not so easy. I have not fully comprehended the limits and boundaries of this and is yet to find a loop hole to break out.>
"So you are saying that I am stuck in this place."
<....Affirmative.>
"Goddamn it! Well for how long is that going to be?"
<I don't know. But it is not going to be easy. While Ella pulled you along, I was able to finally expel the substance by the Nether Agents that ate at your magic power. But as it recovered, you were already thrown into the Red Sands. And you used some of it in your burst of power just now. Of Course, I am using the remaining to talk to you and prevent freezing over from the red sands.>
"Basically, you are saying that they is no way out of here?" Lenny asked.
<No! there is. But it is going to take a lot of Magic points for me to initiate the process>
"hmmm!" Lenny nodded, "If my magic points are plenty enough, I can escape this place?"
<In theory, Yes, it is possible>
lenny caught those words well, "What do you mean by in theory?"
<I need sufficient Magic to turn a small amount of red sand into Blue so that It can free you from this prison. But you need at least ten thousand magic points to do that. I have already started the magic point generation process. But it is too slow>
"What do you mean too slow?" Lenny asked.
<The more magic points I can get, the more magic points I will be able to get. Its like a compounding interest. However, even at that rate, the time taken to restore magic points will be a lot.>
Lenny's frown deepened, "How long are we talking about?"
<Five Hundred years>
The answer that the Satan system gave him was surprising. Lenny had not expected it to be that long.
Five hundred years was indeed a lot of time. Currently, lenny's life now combined with his previous life was not yet up to a hundred and he was now hearing that it would take Five hundred years. A sense of dread washed over him.
Lenny could not help but think hard. After all, they had to be a way to solve his current predicament.
He suddenly remembered the left over core that he had in the storage unit.
"What of the Core of the Primordial beast, can that work?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm<Affirmative, But I, for some reason,?do not have access to it. It seems like the red sand is blocking access to all functions. The only reason I can communicate with you is because of that burst of magic earlier on and the fact that I attached my soul with yours.>
"Is there anything you can do at all?" Lenny asked, now, he was becoming a bit desperate.
<Unless I can get a large amount of magic to speed up the process by many times, unfortunately, there isn't.>
As the embryonic soul talked, lenny's mind went into overdrive, calculating as best as he could for a solution out of this place.
Just then, his eyes caught a set of words for the Winning prize. It was three thousand magic points.
"What if I get magic points from this world will it have an impact?"
<Analizing.... Yes, it should. Although this is happening in your head, it is still powered by reality. Therefore, the Magic points acquired will be you own.>
Lenny heard those words and instantly became excited. After all, a way out of this hell hole had presented itself.
However, it was at this point that he set his eyes on Agent 'X'.
Agent 'X' with a smile on his face waved to the audience and then with a quick motion, he threw a knife at Lenny. Instinctively, lenny immediately dodged the projectile, but a bit of it scraped past his face.
A cut appeared and he bleed a little.
<Careful Host. In this world, although in your head, death is a possibility. If you die here, your consciousness will die in your body...>
