My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

It took some time and Miriam was very confused through half of the explanations, but Miriam and Frank both exchanged the information they knew with the other to clear thing sup as much as possible. Frank explained where he came from, what he was doing, and what were his powers, all while Miriam explained her dreams to him. At the end, using both versions, they were able to finally connect the dots and realized how interconnected everything was…

"So the Emperor has been living for so long?! He was the one that summoned the giant demon he's trying to resurrect now to kill all humans…" Said Gwendolyn. "But why does he wants that?"

"I have no idea…" Sighed Miriam. "But from the memories I saw, he seemed to want humans to die to accumulate… something. Maybe he can earn power by killing people?" Sighed Miriam, feeling rather sickly after learning so many shocking things.

"I don't know the details but perhaps the death of humanity is all part of a ritual, after all, despite lacking the memories of whatever he once used to be, he has extensive knowledge… He was even able to create a pact with the Outer Realm and summon an entity from there…" Sighed Frank. "He's not someone that wouldn't be capable of using special types of magic and rituals… The Phantom Avatar he used was already immensely strong."

"Hmm… So the original Goddess of Beasts ended sacrificing herself to seal the demon…" Said Cathyl. "But why did her soul fragmented then?" 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

"It is because the corrosive darkness and the malice energies of the demon slowly corroded her soul and cracked it into pieces… Each piece ended reincarnating as a person, and as her soul fragmented apart, the seal also weakened… Now, the Emperor might be planning on using the fragments to awaken the demon as he requires a lot of energy to wake up." Said Frank.

"Yeah, it is just as Sir Frank says…" Said Miriam. "That Emperor… I don't have many memories of him, he was always a man behind everything, leading humans to destroy beasts and even influencing them to slay one another… He was a man that enjoyed seeing people suffer."

"But then… What about the fragment of power he had? That was your fragment, right, Frank?" Asked Orb. "How did he got his hands into it?"

"I have no idea myself…" Sighed Frank. "But from what I can tell, it seems he acquired it even before I got here… Year and years ago, he had been using its powers to do all the things he did, and he even was able to trace the worlds I am connected with, which he called "Cosmic Map" somehow, there are other fragments of himself as other people in these worlds, similarly to the fragments of the Goddess of Beasts."

"Maybe it is because of the time dilation?" Wondered Cathyl. "Can't think of any other reason…"

"Yeah, perhaps your Fragments of Power spread across the worlds not so long ago to you, but the time in other worlds goes differently in each world…" Said Vheslia. "There is a big possibility that this time dilation made your Fragments of Power emerge in the past of these worlds. Ugh, who knows what sort of terrifying beings got them for their own benefit. This is certainly not good."

<br/>"Hm…"

Frank began to think about how he could had affected many worlds without realizing with his Fragments of Power, how many people he could had affected, and how these fragments could had fallen into the wrong hands… And it seemed that the Emperor wanted to assemble all these people, apparently.

"If I am assuming correctly from what you learned… the Emperor… he probably has many more of the fragments of my soul, right? If he plans to resurrect the demon… Maybe I can talk with the demon." Said Miriam, her nature had slightly changed, and she seemed both more graceful and mature.

"You can?! No way! Didn't that thing just tried to kill you?" Asked Axitl. "Little Miriam, no matter what you were in the past, we won't let you just go out and die…"

"I know… Didn't Frank said something about the Tree of Yggdrasil?" Asked Miriam. "He can connect with all of you through it, right?"

"Ah… That's… Miriam, you're planning on using your powers through me?" Asked Frank.

"If you're so paranoiac about losing us, shouldn't it be the right thing to do? Now lead me to that tree! I know my powers will be of more use to you, Sir Frank!" Said Miriam.

"Roar!"

The little Ryujin was in the room as well, he had been reduced to his smallest size after the intense battle, and seemed rather weakened for the moment, so he was resting over Miriam's legs and recovering his strength through her mystical soul powers.

Frank thought about it for a bit, and then nodded.

"Alright, let's go then." He said.

Frank quickly held Miriam on his arms, carrying her like a dear daughter.

"Y-You don't have to carry me like that, Sir Frank…!" She cried, blushing a bit.

"What are you talking about? You're still weak and fragile after what happened… I'll carry you there. Also, its faster if we fly there."

"F-Fly?!"

FLAAAAAASH!

Frank opened the window of the room and jumped out with everyone else, as Miriam began to scream out of fear of falling from over ten meters, however, Frank didn't fall, but continued moving in the middle of the air, lifting up into the skies. Miriam felt a bit dizzy, but that quickly changed as she felt the breeze pass through her face, waving her long hair.

She looked into the beautiful scenery within Frank's Divine Realm, as she couldn't believe such a beautiful world could be inside a person's soul… She smiled a bit, as she felt light-heartedly happy. However, she knew that things were getting worse outside, even with the time dilation.

She had to help Frank with her newly awakened powers as a Goddess of the Beasts… even if a little bit.
