Chapter 101 — The World Reacts
Not only the outside world reacted to the loud chime of the Akashic Records.
In the Weaverheart estate, Selene and Luminara raised their heads at the exact same moment the chime resounded.
Their eyes were serious. They had lived long lives — especially Luminara — so they understood just how unusual this situation was.
"Something drastic occurred," Luminara said, her purple eyes narrowing in thought.
But Selene tilted her head. "Why do I feel like my dear baby might be responsible for this?"
She didn’t know why — but the feeling wouldn’t go away.
Luminara shot her a glare. "You idiot. Can’t you stop thinking about your son for once? This situation is more important than you think."
Selene looked at Luminara like she’d just been betrayed. "I am serious, Luminara."
She really was. How dare she accuse me of always thinking about my son.
She paused.
Then smiled softly.
"Well... actually, you might be right."
Luminara looked at her like a cat about to pounce after its tail got stepped on.
Selene laughed — free and happy, after acknowledging her feelings. Now...
"Let’s go meet Noah. I mean, we’ll think about this together. It’s not like we can do anything anyway — we have no information about what this means," Selene said.
She changed her outfit into a beautiful silver dress, patterned with purple lotus flowers.
Luminara sighed, returned to her cat form, and hopped onto Selene’s shoulder.
"Let’s just go. I’d love to see how you declare your feelings to Noah," she said in a mocking voice. Her cat face seemed to... smirk? It was oddly amusing.
Selene flinched.
"I-I forgot about that part..."
Luminara’s smirk widened.
"I will enjoy this."
...
It wasn’t only them.
The elves reacted. The beasts reacted.
They didn’t know what the chime meant — but their divine backings did. Yet none of them deemed it necessary to explain it to their champions.
As if it didn’t matter.
Because none of them believed the being who caused this event could possibly exist in this weak world.
Even though finding a world without gods was rare, and every divine force wanted to claim it for themselves, they all thought long-term. A world could be slowly evolved to higher stages, and then used as a new source of resources for their younger generations.
To them, that’s all this world was.
Just another project.
But what a mistake.
And they would realize it too late.
...
Laeh, the world’s will, sat in the air, legs crossed. Calm.
He too had heard the chime. And like Selene—
"Why do I feel like my lucky star is responsible for this?" he asked himself, head tilted.
It was strange, but after so many miracles — all tied to Noah — how could he not suspect him?
Laeh smiled. "Well, doesn’t matter. What matters is that he’s meeting that sneaky demoness. That’s good. Hopefully he can pull her in, so she can at least help him."
Because he still thought that defeating the other champions wouldn’t be easy. Even if Noah was exceptional, having a being of a higher level on his side — not like Elira — would be a huge help.
"Well, we’ll see. Either way, we succeed together or we die together," he said with a small smile.
After all, he had linked his own life to Noah.
Basically, Noah now carried the weight of an entire world on his shoulders.
A heavy burden — but necessary, if he wanted to succeed.
...
Goddess Justicia heard the chime too.
And unlike others, she had some information about it.
And suddenly... she felt nervous.
A goddess — a celestial at her level — nervous?
Almost impossible.
She used all her means to find the source. Because if a god felt even a little bit of this kind of disturbance, it meant something terrible was on the horizon.
But she couldn’t find anything.
And how could she?
She was feeling this because of Noah. And she couldn’t trace him — not with his title, "True Anomaly." He couldn’t be tracked. Not even by fate or destiny.
