Limitless The Strongest Revenant

She shook her head as she smiled.

"I have long abandoned that name. The only name I wish to be called by is {Code}. Do not be afraid. I am the same one who accompanied you since the Enlistment. I am not your enemy. And I have been watching over you all this time."

"…"

Minerva was {Code}? The realization sent shivers down my spine. I already knew the {Fates} were sentient. But it never occurred to me that they were literary the goddesses!

"Then, you are {Withstand}, {Store}, {Carry}, {Listen}, {Perceive} and {Eat]?"

One by one I pointed towards Freyja, Ishtar, Rhiannon, Vela, Satis and Inari. And sure enough they {fates} all nodded indicating that I was correct. What the fuck did this all mean?

{Listen} or Fairy Jo then walked forward and grabbed my hand into hers.

"Limitless, time is short. We called you here to ask you to reconsider. It is possible to survive this ordeal without relying on {Soul Breaker}."

"There is? Please tell me how!"

{Perceive} or Egyptian Jas flicked her hair as she crossed her arms, "Abandon Lilly Browning, Jasmine Denel and Liv Ivaldi. Your instructions were splendid. And they will be able to complete it at the cost of their lives."

"Not happening," I immediately retorted. I didn't even explain, instead I pulled my hand away from {Listen} with hostility.

{Carry} or European Robyn, then sighed as she continued.

"Do not think badly of {Listen}, to her, sacrificing the three of them is the lesser evil."

"With all due respect. But Fuck that! I would rather die!"

{Withstand} or Valkyrie Liv charged at me and punched me in the face. The power of her attack sent me flying. As I crashed {Carry} quickly came and tried to help me up.

"This goes beyond you, imbecile! Do as your told! The lives of three girls are not worth jeopardizing your mission over!" {Withstand} roared.

{Store} or the Lilly in skinny clothes chuckled. As she added as inspected her nails, "It seems the Sirens are quite adept at seduction. This man is truly in love with them. This is pointless."

"Right? I told you girls this wouldn't work. This guy compared to the other Successors is like night and day," {Eat} or the Aki dressed in priestess garbs commented.

{Listen} bit her lip in frustration as she rebuked me.

"Exa said something unnecessary. While using {Soul Breaker} would allow the three Sirens to survive it will do irreversible damage to the entire world. Do you truly wish to put the entire world at risk for just them!"

I spat out the blood the pooled in my mouth as I stood up.

"They are my world. I would still do this if it was just one of them. That is how much they mean to me!"

{Perceive} scoffed as she approached me. She drove her finger into my chest as she retorted.

"That is only because you still remain in the dark! If you knew the truth you would not be able to say such things!"

"ENOUGH!" a fierce shout caused everyone present to stop. {Code} then looked me in the eyes before speaking.

"Limitless. You wish to remain obstinate despite all of us telling you this is not a good idea?"

"Yes," I answered curtly.

{Code} then began touching the bridge of her nose as she exhaled in an exaggerated manner.

"This stupid fool. How can you still be like this after all this time? Fine. I will allow it."

"You can't be serious!" "This will not end well!" "See, I told you all." "So boring." "Haha! I knew it!" "Hmph."

At {Code}'s declaration the other {Fates} expressed their opinions. It seemed like among the {Fates} present, {Code} was their leader.

"Limitless, no John Smith. Heed my words for I will only say this once. Do you remember how the Revenants suppress the Formless and the Reaper populations?"

Wordlessly I nodded.

"Your guesses regarding the topic are both right and wrong. IRIS did not ask them to do so, but it was the most obvious answer to everyone involved. And to put it simply, they did all this to ensure that which sleeps remains in slumber."

"Huh? Which sleeps? What are your talking about?"

"Think about everyone who tried to stop you from joining the seeker war. Their actions are the world telling you that your path will reality to its end. Yet do you still will to continue despite knowing that fact?" {Code} asked sternly.

"If that future includes my {Kindred} dying, then I will deny it so long as I draw breath."

Nodding, the Bella covered in armor walked towards me before removing her helmet. Her pink hair was not in braids but were tied neatly behind her head. {Code}'s eyes quivered as she continued.

"Very well. The worlds in the past did not end because Hellsgate broke open. They ended because he who slumbers awoke and destroyed them."

I see. Her words clicked with the knowledge I already knew. The warriors in my dreams continued fighting alone. This meant that my past lives did so even after Hellsgate fell. Then did that mean the Serpent was the being she was referring to?

Suddenly I felt a warm and soft hand cover my lips. I turned around and noticed {Carry} making a sad smile as she explained. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

"The being that you are thinking off is probably correct. He who sleeps is the harbinger of the end. And the reason we are trying to stop you is because, should you use {Soul Breaker} he will rouse awake."

"…"

{Withstand} then shouted in anger, "Do you now understand the gravity of your choice! For three people you doom the entire world! He is so powerful his very name is enough to make kingdoms fall!"

"Limitless, the reason Hellsgate does not use distinct names is because of this being. Names are his power. Refer to him as he who slumbers," {Perceive} instructed.

Nodding, I pulled {Carry's} hands off my mouth before replying.

"I do not understand everything, but I do know this. I would rather burn this world than lose even one of the Sirens. If this bastard who slumbers is so great. Then the Sirens and I will simply end him."

At my declaration the rest of the {fates} froze in place. The scene was reminiscent of how the girls reacted when I saw I would become a Revenant. But amidst the silence, {Store} began laughing out loud as she began to slap her knees in humor.

"Hahaha! This fool is truly entertaining! You amuse me. Then I will give you an additional tip. He who slumbers is the one who guards time and reality."

"The one who guards time and reality?"

Was she referring to the corrective force that controls fate? This was something most manga and Anime, especially those that had time travel elements had.

Basically, when one tried to change the past or the future they had to fight this corrective force. It manifested as people or calamities, but it always did one thing. Bring time and reality back to its proper course. But why would such information matter to me?

"Limitless, {Soul Breaker} were called a different name in our time. Would you like to know what its original name was?" {Eat} disclosed.

"Please."

"It was called {Fate Breaker}. To put it simply, the reason every soul in your body turns into power is not because of the ability. It is the by product. Its main purpose is to summon the corrective force of destiny to a duel."

"Then he who slumbers is the one who…"

{Eat} nodded her head in silence.

"But why?"

To my surprise, the one to explain was {Withstand}. Although she still looked angry, she commented in low spirits.@@novelbin@@

"This is why you are allowed to affect reality and command powers you normally could not. It is because you are literally challenging {fate}. The reason the current reapers die to {Soul Breaker} is that they do not even know who it is they challenge."

"Doesn't that mean every Reaper who used {Soul Breaker} called out to he who slumbers? Why am I the only one you are telling not to do so? I have {Rewind} I will not die," I argued.

{Code} again wore her helmet before adding, "Because they are not you. Shouldn't you already know why you are different? We leave you this warning Limitless. We can only hide you from him three times. Do not use {Fate Breaker} beyond that."

As she finished speaking, {Code} turned around and walked away. The rest of the {Fates} followed after her. They continued to walk until they vanished from my vision. Afterwards I found myself back on the 32nd floor.

Understanding the cost of my decision, I remained undaunted and called out to the one who slumbered!

"{FATE BREAKER}!" I shouted.
