The Extra's Odyssey

Psychic walked through the black fog.

The fog was thick enough that he couldn't even see his arms.

After walking for a few minutes, he finally stepped out of the fog.

"Am I still inside his sou-?!!"

Psychic was questioning the authenticity of what he was seeing when an unimaginable amount of information bombarded his brain.

~Are you reading that book again? 'Hero has returned'?~

~What do you wish for?~

~You are funny who wishes for death?~

~No, you idiot Leon! Kill that snake! Why are you leaving him alive?! Cadmus is not someone worth saving!~

~Lilith did suicide, Susan sacrificed herself, Anna has to be killed by Leon and Cadmus betrayed him. Wow, this author is a sadistic asshole.~

Many voices started speaking.

The amount of information gradually increased to the point his eyes and ears started bleeding.

Psychic could read thousands of people's minds at once and he still wouldn't be overwhelmed, but something was wrong with Nathan's soul.

Psychic fell to his knees and clutched his head. Screaming in pain, he closed his eyes, trying to stop the inflow of memories.

However, it didn't help, rather things turned for the worse.

Closing his eyes, he felt as if he gained access to Knowledge.

Omniscient Knowledge.

~Why are you trying to bring an unrelated soul into this matter? Even we can't handle the backlash from interfering with law of time!~

~If I can save everything by sacrificing a single being, I will gladly do it~

~I am the 'Hope' and you are the 'Spear'. Yet we could never do anything, but you think someone from a bygone era can do it?!~

~All of us have failed. Now the only way ahead is to create the 13th. I will create the 'Evil'~

Psychic soul was being strained to its limit.

He could feel his soul being shredded in exchange for gaining Knowledge.

He couldn't control the Omniscient Knowledge.

Clank-

Just as he thought he would die for reaching to something beyond his reach, he heard the rattling of chains.

[??? is using his Authority [Chains of Order]]

Clank- Clank- Clank-

The chains combined, merged, twisted, and created a hollow sphere with Psychic as the center. They created a barrier and protected Psychic inside them.

Finally, the downpour of knowledge stopped.

Breathing heavily, Psychic tried to open his eyes, only to realize that he could no longer see.

He was now blind.

Psychic was trying to make sense of events when the sound of the system resonated.

[??? is staring at you]

"You are lucky that you only lost your sight after seeing those."

Psychic immediately turned around as he felt the presence of someone behind him.

He realized that there was someone else with him inside the hollow sphere made of chains.

Digesting the being's words, Psychic was shocked. He had only seen what lay on the other side of the Veil for a split second.

All this knowledge was gained with a single glance.

He paled when he thought of what would have happened to him had he not closed his eyes.

"Where am I?"

He asked in a shaky voice. He believed that the being was the manifestation of Nathan's soul, his soul core.

If the person had a strong soul, the chances of a sentient soul core were not zero. It was rare, but not impossible.

However, this was where he was wrong.

[??? looks at you with an apathetic gaze]

"I saved you because we used to know each other. But that doesn't mean I permitted you to talk to me so casually."

The being answered in an authoritative tone.

Sensing the being's presence, Psychic felt as if he was in front of a king. Without wanting to, he slightly lowered his head.

"I-I'm sorry. But can you please tell me where I am and how to leave?"

Psychic no longer thought that he had entered someone's soul. All he could guess was that he had somehow reached another place.

[??? takes pity on you and decides to answer]

"This isn't somewhere you can leave and go as you wish. You might have entered this place through a shortcut, but you can forget about leaving. After all, this place is…"

--(Top-16 seating area)--

"U..ghh"

A groan leaked from Nathan's lips, and his fingers twitched.

However, he didn't regain consciousness.

Blood flowed down his head and soaked his robes. His battered figure continued lying while his breathing kept slowing down.

Suddenly, his robe rustled.

The rustling intensified until something fell out from inside the robe.

-Gru

The baby golem rolled over the floor while protecting the item in its hand.

Colliding against a piece of debris, its body stopped rolling.

-Gru

It slowly stood up and looked around.

Broken walls, burnt corpses, and the metallic smell of blood.

Ignoring the destruction, it turned toward Nathan.

-Gru!

It shouted in panic when it laid its eyes on the bleeding figure of Nathan that was slowly losing his breath.

Hurriedly, the baby golem recalled what Nathan had told it and ran to him.

Holding the vial in one hand, it used its free hand to climb Nathan's body to reach Nathan's head.

-Gru -Gru

The baby golem was trembling as it tried to open Nathan's mouth and feed him the elixir.

Finally, after a few tries and falling, the baby golem was able to do it.

Nathan unconsciously chugged down the elixir.

When Nathan had emptied almost half of the vial, the baby golem pulled the vial away. It was Nathan's instruction to only feed him half of the elixir.

-Gruuu

The baby golem gave a low cry when it shook Nathan, but he didn't respond.

Even after a minute, Nathan didn't wake up.

The baby golem looked at the blood covering Nathan and steeled its resolve. It again started climbing over Nathan to feed him the rest of the elixir.

Even if Nathan would scold it, it would be fine as long as he woke up.

-Gruuuuu

It pushed open Nathan's mouth with its shaking hands and tried to feed him the elixir.

"T..thank you but i..t's okay."

However, a warm hand stopped the baby golem.
