Void Evolution System



"You knew?"

Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. It was less about Yong An's belief that he was alive, since most of his other associates felt the same, but how did he know Alexander was Damien?

"How could I not know? Did you forget where we are?"

"That…"

Damien smiled. The Abyss was definitely a fantastical force. If Yong An could read the nature of his soul fragment within Alexander's body, it meant he'd reached an unreal level.

"It seems you've gotten much stronger since the last time we met."

"That is natural, however, my growth cannot compare to yours in the slightest. Was death so beneficial?"

"Surprisingly, yes, but I'd prefer we don't joke about it."

Damien responded wryly. He was glad his friend could still act this sarcastic about a serious topic like that, but still, he didn't want to remember it more than he had to.

"Putting that aside," Yong An continued, noticing Alexander's awkward expression, "you must have a reason for visiting me this time, no?"

"Of course."

He did want to make personal visits, but there was a time and place for that.

The war would be over soon enough, and when that happened, he could take all the time in the world to relax and spend time with the people he forgot to cherish.

"I know you've already made contact with the Judgement Order, but I'm not here to talk about that this time."

Yong An's eyes widened. That was unexpected.

He didn't know what else Damien could possibly be talking about, but…

"The Saint Emperor is dead."

His heart skipped a beat.

"What did you just say?"

"I said the Saint Emperor is dead. I killed him."

"Wha–"

"I know it's confusing, but it's the truth."

Damien didn't explain anything about the battle.

lightsΝοvel By the current timeline, it hadn't happened yet, but because the Ancient Battlefield was disconnected from the lower universe, he could still talk about it.

The causality wouldn't be touched by something like that, since his actions here couldn't impact the Ancient Battlefield.

***

Damien spent a decent amount of time with Yong An.

The two of them talked about many things, and Damien had a chance to explain what happened to him after the events of Al'Katra.

His story was mystifying, practically a thing of imagination, but the fact that it was all true made it even more unbelievable.

Even Yong An, who had developed a practically fanatic faith in Damien's strength after everything that happened, was baffled as their conversation continued.

"Are you not going to meet them?"

Yong An eventually addressed the elephant in the room, but Damien shook his head.

"Not in this body. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold myself back when I see them, and I'd rather have that reunion face to face."

It was a matter of selfishness more than anything else, but it was also for safety.

Causality was a complicated concept that couldn't be understood easily. Damien didn't know how his presence, his true presence, in their lives right now would affect them.

And more than anything else, because of how pivotal they were in the war effort, he couldn't influence their actions in a direction outside what they were naturally experiencing.

Yong An somewhat understood it. Well, he understood as much as he needed to.

"So, basically, you're going to use me to tell them."

"I'm glad you catch on quickly."

"Haa, this is going to be really annoying. You know they won't trust me easily, right?"

"Hmm…"

He wasn't wrong. His wives would already be skeptical since Yong An was a Nox, but they would be even more skeptical if he started saying things like "Damien is alive" without any sort of proof or evidence.

Too many Nox had tried to manipulate the universe's people for them to trust their race easily, even if they were the good kind like Yong An.

"Ah, how about this," he said.

His face turned redder than his hair.

Something only the girls would know, something that should have never seen the light of day ever again…

Damien definitely hesitated to say it, but it was the only way to show them he was truly back, even if he couldn't see them personally.

Because the only way for Yong An to know was if either they told him personally, or if Damien told him himself.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth to speak.

"Next time you see them, tell them this…"

As Damien said what he wanted to say, Yong An's eyes widened into saucers.

He had a feeling.

He definitely…just heard something he was never supposed to hear.
