Chapter 1153 - Painting IV
Most people that dares to point their weapons to her, would usually die the moment they did that.
After all, this is Katarina matters. There are things that he could interfere in and there are somethings that Katarina had to solve for herself. It is the same for him.
Azief had a lot of enemies. But there are only a few enemies in his life that he truly took seriously.
Of course, what Azief didn\'t know was that Rosulka would be Katarina greatest nemesis.
Another moment of silence descends. Then Katarina simply continue the last topic.
\'As for the reason I did not know the whole details of what happened on Earth is because as the Heavenly Will of Earth is getting stronger, the surveillance device slowly loses its ability to transmit images so I did not use the device that much after that\'
Azief nodded.
Azief frowned a bit after listening to all of this.
From what Katarina told him, it was not like she was forced to stay here. But then why did she stay here.
But Azief had more pressing question.
\'What would happen if I didn\'t go into the portal when the portals are being destroyed? What would happen then?\'
\'They calculated that considering your affection for me, you would surely jump into that portal the moment it seems that the portal between the two worlds is about to collapse\'
\'They even calculated that?\'
Katarina smiles and said
\'Well, at least I don\'t need their calculation method to know that you would come for me\'
Katarina then told him that the Multiversal barrier was destroyed on the fifth day.
Azief pick up on that. He quickly deduces that the until the fifth day, the time between the two worlds was synchronized
But when the Orvanian bomb the portal connecting the two worlds, time between the two word is cut off and the synching of time differences reverted back to normal.
So, at the same time he was jumping into the portal at the fifth day on Earth, by that time, the time in the- Seresian world had already been returned to normal. And when he comes out, it is already five months in the Seresian world
A day on Earth is like a month on this world.
Azief once again went silent and then he said
\'Then, why did you choose to stay? You could obviously get back home. Why did you make me go crazy?\' Azief said, his voice raised a bit.
Katarina chuckles.
And then she comes close to her. She was never this bold before. But once you break one line, it is easy to break another line.
With him, she could be bold. Because she is always bold and honest about what she is feeling.
And while he had already chosen Sofia, the relationship between them is still vague. She come so close to him, that their face is in front of each other, their lips is just a few inches apart.
Azief suddenly gulped. And her smiles become wider. A side only she knows.
\'Be careful\' she said
\'What\'s that supposed to mean?\' Azief said, but it is clear that his voice is not as high as before.
Azief would not admit it but he was startled a bit when Katarina suddenly come near him like that.
But he quickly controls his heartbeat. He did not want to get caught by her.
\'If you keep saying this kind of stuff, how can I let you go?\'
Azief then went silent almost immediately.
\'Hehehe\' she laughed. Her laugh echoes in the gallery. Then taking a breath she said
\'The reason I stay is because I want to hone my strength here. The Orvanians had already said that they had close almost all of the channels that the world powers of Earth had opened. In other words, there would be no multiversal travel until certain safety measures is put in place on Earth Prime\'
\'And I don\'t think anyone in Earth right now is eager to open up any multiversal gates to other world fearing that another Multiversal Convergence could happen. As such, I am in an advantageous position here\'
\'One day on Earth is the same as one month in this world. And since I am basically helping the Orvanian, they allowed me to be here and left me with some cool gadgets so that I would get less side effect when I return back home\'
\'And, there is a lot of resources here that quite beneficial for my cultivation\'
Hearing this Azief finally understand why Katarina offers to stay behind.
And then she added
\'But the reason I said we can\'t go back home is because the healing process of the multiversal barrier in this world would only be healed in six months. Or in our world, six days. Though I could not be quite sure about the time difference since the way we would return to Earth would not be using multiversal channels\'
Then Katarina cup her hand on both side of Azief face and Azief face pucker up. She laughed and said
\'I guess you\'re stuck with me\' she then releases her hand.
\'It seems you were not as bold as you were before\'
\'A lot of things had changed\' he said.
She nodded and look up at the ceiling and sighed
\'But, there are still things that did not change\' sighing she said
\'I told the servants to come guide you to your room. Don\'t…surprise them with your abilities. They might even think that you are a God. At least that is what they thought of me when I descend to their slave world. The elves however were not that impressed. But the humans though, their civilization is after all still in the medieval era. If you started busting some moves, they would probably think you are a deity or something. Give them a little time first before breaking out some moves.\'
\'Where are you going?\'
Smiling, Katarina said
\'I have to work of course\' she was about to disappear again but then she halted and said
\'You were right that I did make a deal with the Orvanians. But the deal is quite good\'
Azief had thought so
He could only accept that he has to stay here for a while.
\'What\'s the deal?\'
Katarina answer almost immediately
\'I make sure that the people of this world get a good evaluation by the Envoys of the United Intergalactic Alliance that would come in the next six months give or take and I get to take some benefits\'
She then showed him a card, shining with a glyph carved onto the card
\'What\'s that?\'
Azief said as he comes near her. Katarina gave him the card and Azief send his Divine Sense toward the card.
He did not sense any fluctuation of energy. But the odd thing about the card is that Azief could not determine the properties of the card composition.
Was it made from some minerals? Plastic? Metals? Some kind of quantum particles condensed into a solid form?
Whatever it is, Azief Divine Sense draws a blank.
\'What is this?\'
Katarina then said
\'From what I understand it, it is an access card\'
\'An access card? Accessing what?\'
Smiling Katarina answer
\'The Multiverse\'
Then Katarina quickly explains it.
\'This access card is one of the methods the Orvanians had created to travel the Omniverse Multiversal worlds. They promise that they would activate the card after the Envoy had come to this world\'
Azief immediately understood what Katarina was thinking
\'You wanted access to the Multiverse since it would be hard now that the Orvanians had close all channels on Earth.\'
\'Hmm\' she admitted
\'You are not the only one that wanted to be strong. I also wanted to be strong. I also have things that I wanted to protect. And…..\' but she did not finish her words.
It seems that there are things that she wanted to say but having no courage to say it.
She just looks down and smiles bitterly. Azief sense the awkwardness and he had a premonition that what Katarina was about to say had something to do with him.
So, he just gave the card back to her.
She shakes her head and said
\'Anyway, that is the gist of what happens to me. As you can see, I am fine. Balfor Q\'un did not even have the chance to torture me or do anything to me. I am also getting stronger. So…...please don\'t worry too much\'
Azief nodded but he added
\'I would always worry about you. That is just something I just can\'t help\'
Katarina only smiles at his words.
Then he said
\'Find something to do. This world is quite large. But most of it is being developed right now. The Orvanians had done something to change this world. As for the details, we have six months to talk with each other. I\'ll tell you all about it later\'
Azief did not say anything and only listens. Then he said
\'I…. felt that I did not do anything for you. At least, I thought that I could repay even a small portion of what you did for me\' Katarina shakes her head
\'You\'re here. That\'s all I need.\' And then she hugs her again.
\'At least, we are still friends\' Azief hugs her back. His heart skips a beat. And he said
\'Yes. Friends\'
This is how Azief first day on the Seresian world started. Instead of a battle, he is now inside a palace, hugging Katarina
All in all, a good day.
