Chapter 545: 549 The Other Side of the Story, The Reason why the Boy Appeared in this Place

Day 129 - 6:31 PM - Newton Lake, Veteran's Memorial Park, Oaklyn, Camden County, New Jersey, United States of America

Mark frowned deeply. The fact that he could not sense this any lies from the boy made him want to kill this entity even more.

"You're saying that after starting all this mess?"

Mark could not help but speak out those words with anger.

When Mark said that question, however, the boy smirked in a very annoying way.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not like I'm going to deny my part in this. You can hate me all you want, but give it up. You can't do anything to me."

Those words of the boy made Mark feel heavy. Because of this boy, Mei got hurt. Yet, he did not know whether he would be able to do anything against this boy.

This boy was an Eye without a doubt. Nevertheless, he was very different from those that Mark had seen before.

The first one he saw was from Freed's memories. That gigantic thousand-eyed tentacle monster.

The second was that parasite like creature that controlled that infected giant.

The third was the puppet that The Great One controlled.

Each of them had different characteristics, which made Mark assume that this boy was also unique.

And Mark was not mistaken.

This boy that had five eyes was truly unique, in an absurd way.

"Aren't you here to erase us?"

Chimetrice asked. He was quite confused as to why this Eye seemed to have no intention to fight.

"Why?" The boy replied as he climbed up the backrest of the bench. "Did any of you came from another universe? Did any of you come from another realm? Where did you even hear that?"

That reply made Chimetrice turn to Mark. After all, what he knew about this came from him.

Nevertheless, Mark was also surprised by that reply.

The boy turned to Mark.

"Did you hear about us from a God in hiding? No, that's definitely why." The boy nodded as if he understood something.

"Actually... that's only the case for beings that came from other worlds, you know?"

"What are you saying?"

Mark could not help but ask. His anger towards the boy was yet to subside. Nevertheless, he was regaining his calm because of the information he was receiving from the boy.

The boy then jumped down and sat on the armrest of the bench.

"Did you two know? With how Earth was constructed, stepping into Godhood for any of its children is almost impossible. But Gods and Deities that came from other worlds, universes, and realms came in this Godless land and turned this into their playground. That is why the first thing our Master did is to remove these pests when he took the position of this world's Observer."

There, the boy continued to explain playfully.

But with the Gods from other realms arriving, this rule was broken.

Unfortunately, it was the fault of the previous Observer. That Observer was too lazy to manage the world and let the invaders go rampant.

Thus, creatures recorded in Earth's Legends and Mythologies were born because of the Magical Energy, the Mana, that these Gods brought from their worlds.

And as the rules of the world distorted, many more things deviated from its initial path.

The magical races, demon races, and other unnatural beings were born, one after another.

"When our Master stepped up to replace the previous Observer, it was already late to bring this world to its original state."

The boy said with a shrug.

"But our Master is not a ruthless person."

The boy smiled.

"He gave some leeway for creatures that were born of this world." 

"It was even if they were born by the effect of the invaders on this world."

The boy then looked straight at Mark.

"Since you have demon blood, I presume that you know about the Spirit Dimension, the Higher Dimension, and the Lower Dimension. Do you know about those?"

"I do."

Mark replied with a frown.

"It is us who created those dimensions." The boy said with a proud expression. "We created those places to keep and segregate the beings born in this world after the Gods appeared."

The servants of those Gods, the angelic beings, the holy warriors, and those that were directly created by Gods... They were all designated at the Higher Dimension.

Those that were born of nature, fairies, cryptids, lesser demons, and the like, they were left in the Spirit Dimension. A beautiful paradise filled with plants and animals but also had a darker side.

Lastly, the greater demons, the devils, fallen angels, and the embodiments of sins... They were all sent to the Lower Dimension.

That way, humans could dominate the world once more, being its main occupants.

"But as you can see," The boy pointed at Mark. "Even though most of the Gods already left this world, their existence in that lost era affected the future. From time to time, enigmas like you are born."

There were also times that humans with superhuman abilities would appear.

"As long as none of you disturbed the balance and current pace of the world, we really have no reason to make any movement. In fact, we even give the option to live in the Dimensions I mentioned instead."

As long as the rules were being followed, there was no problem. No matter how strong the Enigma was, it did not matter if they knew how to listen.

They would be allowed to exist. 

It was because those people were still the children of this world.

Of course, it was a different story if the Enigmas of the world tried to distort its rules.

After hearing all these things, a mystery popped up inside Mark's head.

"Then what about the Blood Demons?"

That was right. The Blood Demons, Mark's supposed ancestors, were annihilated by the schemes of the Eyes.

"Hmmm?" That question surprised the boy. "Are you talking about that race of demons that can turn any other race into their own using their blood?"

"Hmmm... I believe it's Second and Fourth that did that." The boy muttered. "I don't know where you heard about them, but their race is wiped out because their very existence is a twist of the rules itself."

"You know why?"

The boy shrugged.

"It's because their blood had can turn invaders into someone considered as born of this world. It is against the rules since our duty is to remove them. If they became one of the Blood Demons, even us can't do anything unless they defied another rule."

In other words, the Blood Demons could give shelter towards the Invaders, and the Observer could not let that happen. Thus, they decided to be cautious and eliminate the source of threat instead.

Hearing that, Mark understood. As long as one was naturally born on this planet, on this Earth, they would be fine. It was as long as they did not defy the rules stated by the Observer.

In this case, it seemed that Mark was worrying too much for nothing. However, it could not be helped. After all, he only heard one side of the story.

Mark felt relaxed. In the least, he knew now that he would not be erased without reason. It was not like Mark was afraid of dying. But at least not now that he started to enjoy life.

With something in mind, Mark stared at the boy.

"With what happened right now, haven't we exceeded the rules you are talking about?"

It was the right question. With how much commotion caused by Chimetrice's revival and the effects of the battle that had just happened, it would not be surprising if Mark and Chimetrice were still in the kill list. However, it seemed that it was not the issue.

"That's the reason I'm here, you know?"

The boy smirked, tapping his temple with his right index finger.

"With those questions you two asked, I'm sure that you two haven't received the news yet."

That announcement made Mark frown even more. He did not know whether it would be a good or a bad thing.

"All of you know, right? What state the world is in, right now. That is why there is a change or rules."

There, the boy playfully laughed as he opened both his arms wide.

"You two don't have to fear! No matter how absurd your existence is, as long as you are not an invader, feel free to do what you want!"

"What do you mean?"

Mark asked as what the boy mentioned was really vague.

"What do you not understand?" The boy tilted his head. "As I said, do what you want! Fight here, kill there, conquer countries, anything! Even if you want to slaughter a whole country, it's fine!"

It was an unexpected announcement.

Mark could not believe that something like this was possible. It was too good to be true, in a sense.

"Why did the rules have such a U-turn?"

Chimetrice asked with a frown. He was not a fool to believe the boy that fast.

There, the boy sighed.

"Because of this outbreak, apocalypse, end of the world, or whatever you want to call it. It caused the foundations of the world to collapse. Soon, even the three subdimensions with open and fuse with the surface. I wonder if you know that already."

Then, the boy continued with a piece of information that made Mark freeze.

"This is just the first wave. It won't be long, and the second wave will come."

This information would be enough to shake the lives of the people still remaining on Earth.

The population of Earth was already severely shaved off the surface because of Mutagen. 

Now, there was another wave?

Why not just destroy the Earth directly?

"Is that why those creatures and even the cultivators are being active now?"

Mark asked.

"Yeah? Pretty much." The boy replied. "Their leaders might have received the news already. Only those with enough strength like you two are allowed to know this information, after all."

The boy then smiled at Mark.

"You understand now why I have to force you to show your true strength? Although I can pretty much judge what kinds of creatures you are, I don't have any ability to know or read your abilities. I have to force it out of you since you did not seem to want to show it."

Mark's frown went deeper and deeper. So, Mei was hurt because of this?

He found it rather unacceptable.

"Can you wipe that frown out of your face?" The boy urged. "I needed to do that to be able to see your potential. Or else, I won't deem you legible to receive this information. So far, you are the only person that had yet to step to the realm of Deities to receive this news, so be grateful."

Mark suddenly had the urge to punch this boy's face.

But then, Mark had some realization.

"Is this why the sealed Deities and Demons started to find ways to revive themselves?"

Mark blurted out.

"Well, yeah?" The boy tilted his head. "Since this mess started, all of us, the Apostles of the Observer, had been running around. Cultivators, Underground Organizations, as long as they had Deities, we informed them. Well, even if we didn't, there are already those that started to break their seals. When this mess started, a large amount of energy was released into the Earth, allowing them to break free even before we found them."

The boy then pointed at Chimetrice.

"Like him. Though I think. It's quite different in this case."

"Well, then. I did what I needed to do. I should get going. I still need to go back to slee- work."

The boy then jumped and started to float away.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." 

The boy turned around for the last time. 

"I am the current 9th Eye, The Embodiment of Boredom. You all can call me Ninth. As you can see, my body is plain, boring, and almost non-existent. See you two some other time!"

Finally, the boy left in an instant.

Mark and Chimetrice still had some questions. However, they felt that it was better to let that boy leave already. Just with the boy being around made them feel as if they were walking at the edge of a blade.
