95 – Future!

—————————

PART 1 – Askalom!

—————————

A long time ago, in a distant world called Askalom, we find a young peasant, coming from a lowly background, almost like a slave.

He worked on the farm, took care of the cattle, lived without hope or desire, without a future, the nobles took everything from him.

What motivated him to get up every morning before sunrise? Perhaps only the desire to avoid being beaten and spending his days suffering until he died.

He is a coward, but he was raised to be that way, to think that way, like a slave who is only good for working, potentially procreating, and making his descendants suffer the same as he did.

But at 19, the system, something everyone has access to, showed his low attributes and skills, he who had only reached Level 2, nothing special, especially since his level was only raised to improve his work.

Life was unfair. But amid so much injustice, he woke up one night, feeling short of breath. At first, he thought he was sick, that it would be the day of his death, but instead, his status manifested itself, something shining in him, taking up space in his list of skills.

There he saw the awakening of a Special Ability, something that no one, not even the nobles, has control over.

The name of his Special Ability is [Space Control]. An ability that gave him in-depth knowledge about the concepts of space and time, instinctively manipulating the space around him, allowing him to move more easily, or even teleport to places he has been, or where his vision reaches.

The cost to activate it is minimal, even he, a mere Level 2 with low mental attributes and little mana, was able to use it several times.

Unfortunately, life is unfair. Days later, while practicing, testing more of his power, his control over space deepening, the energy cost reducing, and the Achievement [Effort] progressing abnormally quickly.

But someone saw him doing strange things, so they told the foreman, who investigated on his own and told the Knight, who told the nobleman.

In a few days, the young man found himself targeted, so without knowing what to do, in the midst of despair, he teleported away, going beyond the mountains. He ended up in a village in another state, where people were freer and happier.

He thought he could build a life there, but before long the nobles arrived. He fled and ended up in the famous Dungeons, extremely dangerous places, but with great opportunities.

Not wanting to die or worse, he invaded the Dungeon, hoping to level up and gain enough power to protect himself.

What he should have done was go further away, hide what he had, and draw little attention to himself. But he is a simple young man who lived in ignorance, always afraid.

Entering the Dungeon, which was too dangerous for a mere level 2 novice. He thought he had a chance, and with great difficulty killed a level 5 monster, at the cost of all his mana.

He was happy, but far from reaching level 3.

He tried to find a place to rest, but having a Special Ability does not make him invincible. Two Level 5 monsters appeared, he tried to fight, then flee, shouted for help, and was torn apart.

A person had been watching him since he entered, having sensed the bright light that emanates from a Special Ability user. Gersha smiled happily; she didn't kill him, the standard difficulty of the Dungeon did.

She collected his life energy, something that benefits the entire Dungeon, but it is not advisable to go after killing alone, as too much danger reduces the number of people who invade the Dungeon, where only the elite enter, who slaughter the monsters and thus reduce the passive gain of the Dungeon.

With the young man's death, Gersha not only received his life energy, but also the record of his Special Ability. Something in the rules of the universe is that when a Special Ability user dies inside a Dungeon of their property, it becomes theirs to use as they wish.

For Dungeon Masters, this helps everyone, not least because they can give them to their monsters or servants, or they can just keep them stored away to never be used. Since the greatest danger to Dungeons are those who know how to use Special Abilities. The fewer of them there are out there, the less danger there is.

But of course, a Dungeon that gives such abilities to its monsters, when it is killed, in addition to being very expensive, the Special Ability is out of its control, returning to the natural rules, being placed in a new individual.

So Dungeons rarely use Special Abilities, they just keep them stored or sell them to other Dungeon Masters for resources or energy.

—————————

PART 2 – Special Skill!

—————————

Skarla calmly finds herself on the 15th floor. She took a deep breath and calmly opened her status, finding the new addition and expanding it:

————————————————————————————————————————

Space Control (Special Skill) – In-depth knowledge of the concepts of Space (and partially Time), allowing the user to manipulate Space to the extent of their knowledge and power.

Effect (1): Reduces the cost of anything related to Space by 80%.

Effect (2): Ability to distort Space itself to attack or defend.

Effect (3): At minimal cost, allow yourself to move without having to move.

(Note: Create your own effects!)

————————————————————————————————————————

If possible, she would have liked to save it to give to one of her children, but unfortunately that was not possible, so she could only keep it.

There were many choices, hundreds of Special Abilities. When asked how she got so many, Gersha simply said that mortals love to clean up their mess inside the Dungeons and she loves to collect that trash.

Skarla found it funny, being able to see how that happens. It seems that in other worlds, having Special Abilities is more problematic than one might think, or she is just too ignorant to realize that her world may be the same.

Whatever the case, among so many options, she chose to have control over Space. There were abilities that would dramatically improve her engineering capabilities, others that would give her greater magical potential, and there were physical combat abilities that, if she chose, would dramatically increase her strength.

There was literally one called [Almost Unlimited Energy], which affects Health and Energy (Mana, Qi, etc.), where per level the sum of all attribute modifiers is used to increase those stats. In other words, Skarla with +27 in all attributes, instead of just Constitution (27x27) adding up to give the final Health result, all attributes would add up, that is: 27x6 = 162x27 = 4,374.

That would be more than 4,000 HP and EP, provided by the attributes. Skarla currently has less than 1,300 HP and MP. So it's obvious how absurd that would be, which would make her technically immortal.

She has +3650 extra HP due to her martial arts, which is protection provided by her Internal Energy. Not to mention that there is a possibility that this could also affect the base of her Internal Energy, which grows based on her Wisdom attribute multiplied by level.

But in the end, she ignored all these Special Abilities that would dramatically increase her survival rate, combat ability, or convenience in life in general, for [Space Control].

Even Sueika had little knowledge about Space, or she just didn't expose it to her because it was too precious. But it is a fact, because Skarla spent a lot of time researching it, both in her past life and in this one.

She was thrown from one life to another, reincarnating, going to another world, keeping her memories. But she still has something that ties her to the past, her two previous lives.

She doesn't know how her family on Earth is doing, if her descendants in Murim are still alive. Skarla wants to know, so for that, she needs to understand more about Space.

Her combat abilities and ease of movement are insignificant compared to the possibility of traveling between worlds in the future and tracing her past lives. She now needs to study Space and Soul more deeply.

And after learning all this, she will seek to understand what or who is doing this to her.

—————————

PART 3 – Difficulties!

—————————

“So they really do exist...” Curboris swallowed hard.

“Did you know about them?” Skarla asked curiously.

“Only hypotheses and information gathered from different areas of the world. It is said that individuals appear in Dungeons, who do not attack, but merely wander seemingly aimlessly or without reason, just being there, and any attempt to interact with or attack them is a huge failure. Many even say that such individuals ignore them, as if they did not even exist.”

“Now that you mention it, it's certain that there is something that controls all Dungeons.” Curboris smiled happily.

“I wouldn't say all of them. From what I could gather from our conversation and negotiation, there are several Dungeon Masters, and it is very unlikely that they monopolize the Dungeons of a world, so there may be dozens or hundreds of Dungeon Masters controlling a few Dungeons, or even dozens of them.”

"Apparently, Dungeons benefit from those who are inside them, not those who die in them. Of course, deaths probably provide even more benefits, and when someone with Special Abilities dies, their abilities end up in the possession of the Dungeon Master. In other words, it is true that Special Abilities are unique; there may be variations of the same ability, but never an identical copy. They are limited resources, and since it stores so many, it means that they lose them if the monsters that possess them die and cannot recover them."

Curboris scratched his chin, listening intently.

“It is impossible to know the real motivations of the Dungeon Masters, but it is certain that they are growing in some way, perhaps even fighting among themselves, preparing for something, collecting Special Abilities... from the stories we have of the Dungeons, there has never been a huge catastrophe related to them, except for those caused by external forces.”

Skarla is talking about a phenomenon that a few millennia ago was discovered to be caused by other people, not something natural to the Dungeon, the so-called “Burst,” where the monsters of the Dungeon come out of it, causing chaos and destruction, corrupting the region and causing great damage to the Dungeon itself, which normally remains inactive for decades.

Initially, it was thought to be something extremely rare and natural, but an Archmage discovered how to cause the Burst and found traces of something similar in Dungeons that had already suffered from it, so it ceased to be a natural phenomenon and became recognized as something caused by man.

“What approach should we take?” Letiphia asked.

All this time, they are in the meeting room, with several important figures listening to the conversation and having their own ideas.

“As I negotiated with the Dungeon Master, the 15th Floor belongs to us, we can use it to our advantage, we just need to be careful with the Miasma, but the monsters will no longer appear, but the vegetation will remain the same, now it will be time to organize, study, and create what we want.”

With Skarla's words, everyone realized the enormous wealth that comes with having a personal floor without danger. “I also managed to negotiate a way to go directly to the 15th floor, but this will be confidential information that few will have access to. Those present here are forbidden to say anything about it, and if any rumors about it spread, I think you know who will be investigated first.”

“...I understand, but... is it okay to talk to Mr. Curboris here?” Letiphia looked at the smiling High Elf.

“I'm trustworthy, don't worry,” Curboris said with a laugh.

"I have no doubt about your trustworthiness, especially since Skarla trusts your judgment. It's just that in Elven culture, you are very close-knit, and High-Elves are the most close-knit in the world, where you talk to each other about everything, revealing secrets as if it were the most natural thing in the world.“

”... That's true.“ Curboris laughed. ”But nothing that is said internally among us High-Elves leaves our circle. It's instinctive not to tell others what they tell us that is obviously a secret. So you don't need to worry, and... it's not as if there is anyone other than the Queen who can force me to tell what I know.“

”Well, let's put that aside and focus on the present!" Skarla banged on the table, drawing everyone's attention to her. “We have the 15th floor as a special location, but there are still four other floors that need to be researched, and unfortunately, I am unable to investigate them because of the agreement.”

Skarla's gaze fell on Letiphia. “Do you want me to go?” she asked.

Skarla sighed and nodded. "No, I was just thinking. Since the most capable people are unable to explore the upper floors, we'll pause this for now, especially since the difficulty is escalating, and up to the 20th floor, probably only those above Level 30~35 would be able to face the strongest enemies and... the Final Boss of the Dungeon gives me the presence of a Demigod, a Level 40~41 challenge." Everyone fell silent.

It is obvious that the fact that Skarla's wives are pregnant makes exploration impossible, especially since they are the strongest. Their children do not count. Excluding them, Skarla's disciples and main combat forces, including the Legends who were recruited in this short period of time, none are reliable or capable enough.

In the end, Krugar needs time to strengthen his base, showing how dependent they are on Skarla and his wives for practically everything.

—————————

PART 4 – Space!

—————————

Days later, the Dungeon's 17th floor was being explored by some of Krugar's leading elites.

Curboris stayed on the 15th floor, studying the vegetation and monsters alongside the mages and alchemists. Calah desperately wanted to invade the Dungeon and participate in the research, but she was constantly denied. Skarla did not want her pregnant wives exposed to the Miasma.

Even though they can resist it, Skarla does not want to risk a tiny particle of Miasma touching the fetuses and potentially causing complications. It is unlikely that they will die, she is a 2nd Metamorphosis Martial Artist, her wives are in the 1st Metamorphosis.

The chances of Miasma affecting the lives of her children are absurdly low, almost nil. But she knows how sensitive a child's development is, how certain elixirs that her wives consume affect the children's development and talent in the future.

So in general, even a particle of Miasma with their current bodies can somehow become part of the fetus, adapting to it in some way. Skarla doesn't want that.

Even though she would love the child just the same, the chances of it ending up becoming a wizard or warrior who uses dark elements, something quite corrupt, is something she does not want.

Demonic Martial Arts are dangerous in themselves, Viper was only chosen to cultivate them because she was already absurdly strong and had undergone intensive training. A child exposed to something like this from birth would certainly develop violent tendencies from an early age.

That is why none of her children have access to Demonic Arts, as there is no middle ground: either it is a low-quality technique, like the one she taught Gersha and Sueika, or it is a Higher Degree and Supreme technique, which demonstrates immediate effects.

Skarla loves her children and trusts that they will all be incredible. Take Theya, for example. Since the school tournament, she has changed dramatically, becoming Skarla's pride and joy. So she knows that her children can make mistakes and learn from them.

But if her children can become stronger with other Cultivation Arts, why practice Demonic Arts that can make them violent?

Skarla does not want to make choices for her children, but as a mother, she understands that she cannot allow her children to make such mistakes, nor will she subject them to Viper's training, not least because none of her wives would allow it.

……

While the Dungeon was being developed and opened for groups to explore from the 1st to the 14th floor, staying on the 15th floor was not allowed. Skarla was taking care of research-related matters.

In her main research center, where we have the Reactor with the Heart of the World, among other machinery and the leading minds of Krugar.

Skarla observed the designs of recent vehicles, as well as steam engines mixed with magic. Skarla is making her promise to the World to avoid pollution as much as possible.

The world is too beautiful to permeate it with all kinds of toxins and poison entire regions, as was the case on Earth.

After seeing that everything is in order and pointing out some necessary modifications, she went to her office, which is huge, almost like a library, where you can find books and entire bookshelves floating.

“Welcome back, mistress. Would you like your favorite tea prepared?”

A cheerful voice sounded as a small, cute fairy appeared beside her. This is an Intelligent Spirit, similar to the one placed in the mansion of pleasures, which catalogs the points of Kaleria and Ruffalo.

Only this one is much more advanced.

This technology already existed, but it was not very advanced. However, the acceptance of the Black Mages allowed for improvements, especially because they used real souls to create something similar.

Of course, they did not kill innocent people and use their souls. They killed criminals and reused their souls to develop Intelligent Spirits that were much more useful than their basic and inferior versions.

With all kinds of magic seals for obedience and other limitations, Intelligent Spirits are created and distributed in various important locations in Krugar, managing various functions and supporting various public servants and scientists.

More are being developed as we speak, where they are being sold for exorbitant prices. We are talking about helper spirits, extremely intelligent and capable of learning, along with means to strengthen their usefulness. One of these is even capable of managing a small nation without difficulty.

...

“I'll have some coffee,” Skarla says as she uses her telekinesis, picking up a book and leafing through it.

In no time, a mug of coffee was floating beside her, hot steam rising from it. Skarla drank and sat down, throwing the book up in the air. “Organize my studies on Space and Time!”

Soon hundreds of sheets were floating in front of her, forming panels full of confusing and complex information. Skarla observes them carefully, spending hours reading every detail, finding problems and redoing them, to be sure, changing the formulas used.

Since acquiring [Space Control], her understanding of spatial concepts has increased dramatically, where in less than two weeks she has quadrupled all her knowledge in this area.

She even consulted with some brilliant Archmages in this area, but a few hours of discussion and showing them research data drove them crazy with frustration when they realized so many errors in their theories.

After so long, Skarla contacted Sueika, wanting more details about Space and Time. Sueika didn't want to give more than she already had, so she started bargaining.

The bargaining came to nothing for both sides. Sueika took her on a sex marathon. Skarla was much stronger, and Sueika noticed this; she seemed more alert and concerned than ever.

Skarla gained more than 2,000 years of Internal Energy, her strength increased dramatically, because with more energy, she can do much more. The only thing that limits her is how much energy she has and can use.

In any case, Skarla was having incredible success in this area. Starting with the fact that she is able to teleport in an instant to any continent she has ever visited or has its coordinates.

She has an area of her research dedicated to the portals that connect the worlds. Skarla needs to spend more time analyzing them. After that, she will find or create a loophole to leave the world and study the space beyond the world's protection.

Calmly, she looked in one direction, where she is watching Gakai yelling at Thron, who is obediently listening. Skarla soon looked at Letiphia frowning as she looks at documents, while lightly caressing her belly. Emerald appears and brings her a tray with tea and cookies. Looking a little to the side, it is possible to find Belisandre sleeping, snoring loudly.

Ilyria stands with her arms crossed in the snow, watching the training of young soldiers. Skarla doesn't remember why she is there, nor does she care; these are her personal matters.

Talya is outside Krugar, but Skarla still found her. She is sitting on the back of a kneeling man, trembling with fear. Hundreds of men and women of various species can be found, dead or surrendered, surrounded by troops in matching armor.

Talya is playing with a coin on her finger, laughing as she shamelessly taunts the bandits who tried to rob her. She slowly looks at the blood dripping from a nearby corpse, which ends up on her shoe. She abruptly feels the urge to vomit, holding herself up and standing up, she gives the order to kill everyone except for 5 random ones to send a message.

Viper is relaxing, sunbathing and drinking a cold beverage, no alcohol.

Calah looks bored, grumbling as she kneads medicinal herbs. She wanted to play with her explosives, or her chemical reagents that are extremely harmful if inhaled. She has control, but Skarla forbade her because of the baby. She protested, but it was just an act. Of all of them, she is the most careful and does not let any possibility of harm to the baby go unnoticed. If there is the slightest chance of something harmful happening, she will be far away. So she is just complaining and throwing a tantrum.

Shunam is humming, she said it was a song she heard from her mother, meanwhile, she is brushing Miku's hair, who is adorably curled up between her legs, smiling. Skarla wished she had a camera to record this perfect moment. Suddenly Shunam looked up, smiling slightly. Skarla laughed.

Hackel is standing, looking at a map of the nearby continents, thinking about future expansions, how to conquer other continents, if not officially, then manipulate them from the shadows.

Grisaliel is not on the continent. Skarla could try to find her in the Sacred Land of the Elves, but she would be detected by the various demigods there, who would be angered.

The ability to spy on others, distorting space, creating layers of protection in an invisible portal, manipulated with certain waves, being practically imperceptible, but those who are strong enough, or very sensitive, will detect fluctuations in Space.

Of all his wives, only Shunam is capable of this. She is the most sensitive and strongest of his wives, and is also the closest to the 2nd Metamorphosis, showing how frightening Shunam's talent is. Her Toxic Arts are extremely harmful to her enemies, but also to herself.

The stronger her toxins become, the more damage they cause to her body, which strengthens and adapts. A constant cycle of destruction and reconstruction, which is perfect for Metamorphosis.

But it will still take many years for Shunam to reach the 2nd Metamorphosis.

Skarla smiles after seeing almost her entire family, then turns her attention to the study of the soul. Compared to Time, the Soul is more difficult to study, due to the lack of basis and so much theory.

To study the soul, sacrifices are necessary, which is why the main study data is not here, but in the prison laboratory.

It is curious how simply letting the Black Mages take care of criminals and making it an almost public rumor resulted in the crime rate plummeting dramatically.

—————————

PART 5 – Results!

—————————

Soon Skarla's children came to her, asking for permission to enter the Dungeon. Many high-level monsters, which for these brilliant young people with attributes that far exceed their level, or power that far exceeds their level.

What most of her children lack is combat experience.

The problem is that, in addition to her children, many families are requesting entry into the Dungeon. Even though public entry into the Dungeon has been allowed, it is still something that is controlled and must go through the proper procedures.

To this end, the Adventurers' Guild, which is currently being developed, is slowly taking shape and has already spread throughout Zenirys.

But in the end, such important matters go through Skarla, especially with the secrets on the 15th Floor. She realized that she should have asked to block the transfer from the 14th to the 15th floor, sending it directly to the 16th floor, while the 15th floor remains restricted to the special method.

She even tried to request it, but Gersha did not respond, so Skarla just backed down, keeping her part of the agreement.

She then spoke as Director of the Academy, preparing excursions. For families who wanted to rent the dungeon for a while, Skarla blocked them for the time being, while allowing her children to enter, only on the condition that they cultivate the Element of Order.

Without that, she will not allow them to enter the Dungeon. Naturally, her children quickly focused their efforts on that.

Lohan did not respond at any time. He is already about to reach Level 15, having a power that almost equals Skarla's wives, but he still has a long way to go to consolidate all his power and knowledge.

Gina continues her adventure around the world, causing some headaches by getting involved with people of high standing. More specifically, as one of the Shadows reported, Gina has developed a kind of sadistic desire with her sexual partners, where she has not yet lost her vaginal virginity, but has used certain magical accessories to grow a penis, or used magical toys.

Skarla didn't want to know any of this, but she ended up receiving reports, since she asked for everything. Now she knows that her daughter has a very active sex life and that she likes to humiliate men.

Because of this, she ended up attracting some very strange people, many of whom are the children of nobles who are submissive to her. And this is where part of the headaches lie.

One of the young nobles who follows her so obediently, where he is apparently portrayed as a sex slave and even treated like a puppy by Gina, is the 5th prince of an extremely elitist and patriarchal nation, in addition to his father being the current King. his mother is the sister of an extremely powerful Duke who is aligned with patriarchal opinions, and it is even said that the Duke killed one of his sons for liking to have relationships with men.

And now it is becoming public knowledge that one of the princes likes to get his ass fucked.

The most shocking thing about this situation is that this whole sequence of events came to light during a family meeting. In other words, not only did Skarla find out, but all of his wives and other children who were also present found out.

Ilyria didn't know whether to be proud or ashamed, and in her uncertainty, she felt both.

Now, how was this whole issue resolved? Skarla simply ignored the appeals of the Kingdom in question, as well as the constant marriage proposals, requesting that Gina be married to the royal family, receive various titles and things like that.

Skarla continually ignored this, so what are they going to do? Force a demigoddess because a prince likes to have his butt beaten until it's red and his anus opened to the point where fists can easily enter?

Who would anger a demigoddess over something so stupid? They are just trying to appeal to her emotions, or establish some kind of debt.

But Skarla ignored it, especially since Gina asked Ilyria for help, who personally wrote a letter and sent it to the King. What was in the letter? A request to ignore this situation, saying that she and Skarla would be very grateful.

It was enough, for now.

But it served many purposes. It showed how much fear and respect others have for Skarla and her wives, the impotence of most nations in relation to her, followed by an almost absolute truth that Skarla's children are protected by her.

……

With permission to enter the dungeon confirmed, the level of Krugar's elites began to rise easily, as there are many undead, and thanks to Berard's martial arts and forging, the undead did not become problems, just easy EXP points.

Her children began to grow stronger, while her wives' bellies began to grow. Interestingly, while Skarla was examining their wombs to see if everything was in order, she discovered that Viper and Talya are expecting twins.

Skarla saw her mood improving with each passing day. She is advancing in her research, her family will grow considerably in about a year and a half, the barrier between her and Gakai has narrowed a little, and the treasure of a certain dragon is being emptied into her personal coffers.

With all this and more, how could she not be happy?

—————————

PART 6 – Problems!

—————————

More time passed, and everything was going perfectly well.

The political situation was already stable and improving, and little by little, assimilation with the northern lands was taking place, with the territory constantly expanding rapidly and Thron taking the place of Gakai, who was pregnant.

Gakai wanted to be on the front lines, but Skarla gave her a single glance, and she fell silent and rested. She certainly grumbled a lot, but Thron was doing a great job alongside Makaulu, his grandfather, who is the leader of a mercenary team composed of Orcs, having received several mercenary jobs to conquer the north alongside Krugar.

Everything was perfect. Skarla was about to unveil the final pieces of the [Perfect Body] Cultivation Technique, which was the pinnacle of her past life, but of course, she will improve it dramatically, thinking about what nomenclature will be used this time, since it will change a lot and take her [8 Trigrams] as a basis.

She is even in the 2nd Metamorphosis, which will certainly dramatically increase the effectiveness of [Perfect Body].

But who would have thought that in the midst of her perfect life, Skarla was teaching Kamilla, helping her improve her fighting style. She really likes to use her legs to attack, but she has extremely powerful punches.

Skarla could see something in Kamilla's movements; she was about to achieve “Enlightenment,” and her martial arts would improve significantly.

Time passed, and Kamilla's rhythm became more focused and powerful, her movements more fluid, and the world in Kamilla's eyes had disappeared. Only her movements remained.

Skarla smiled, satisfied with her little girl's development.

But in the midst of this state of epiphany, something abnormal happened to Kamilla's soul.

“NO!” Skarla roared, but she noticed too late.

She lunged forward, grabbing Kamilla's head, trying to interfere with the strange fluctuation of her soul, like some kind of invading soul. She had researched possession and seen it firsthand, so she knew the signs.

“Calm down, Mom! It's me!” Kamilla shouted, grabbing her wrist and using something strange.

Skarla was confused, such a strange control. “Argh!” She groaned in pain and found herself retreating, even though she was trying hard not to.

Her arm was paralyzed, she blinked in confusion. “Amazing, right? You taught me.” Kamilla smiled proudly.

“Who are you?!” Skarla frowned, forcing her energy to flow, even if it caused damage, she would take care of it later.

“This will leave marks,” Kamilla pointed to the blood dripping from her arm, which had suffered an explosion. “But it won't be permanent, you can handle it,” she shrugged.

Skarla tried to analyze it, ideas popping into her head.

“So, Mom, I'm Kamilla, but from far in the future. Don't worry, I won't stay long. I just came to warn you. And yes, this strange gift that my mother Hackel's family has of going back in time is indeed hereditary.” Kamilla smiled.

Skarla's eyes widened, she shuddered and looked angry and sad. “Wait... did you die?”

“Oh, I forgot that Mom and Grandma died to activate this.” Kamilla laughed relaxed. "But that wasn't the case with me. Unlike Grandma and Mom, I have control over it, but it will probably be passed on to my child when I have one. Mom probably didn't die permanently and returned to the past because her firstborn son from that timeline died before activating the gift, so it returned to Mom.“

”So you don't have children? What a good daughter you are, not giving your mother any grandchildren!" Skarla snorted.

“Unbelievable! You make the same joke every time we see each other.” Kamilla rolled her eyes. “But don't worry, you won't be lacking grandchildren in a few decades. My brothers and sisters will make sure of that, especially Thron, the idiot is a child-bearing machine.”

Skarla blinked. "Is it okay to tell me all this? Won't it cause problems in time?“

”Probably, but you can handle the consequences.“ Kamilla laughed playfully. ”That's why I chose this moment to return, during my epiphany, I can give a slight boost to my past self, while you are strong enough after absorbing all that Miasma."

“Now let's get to the main point! You need to kill Sueika!” Kamilla said intensely.

“... Okay, what else?” Skarla didn't ask, she crossed her arms and looked serious.

“Yeah, it was easy, but it's urgent. It won't be long before that bitch extends her claws to Lohan. She will corrupt him, and when he reaches Corrupted Enlightenment, not only will he reach the 2nd Metamorphosis, he will have power comparable to a God... he will kill you!” Kamilla said seriously.

“Corrupted Enlightenment?” Skarla raised an eyebrow.

“That's what you called it, but another name for it would be False Enlightenment. In fact, he didn't actually kill you, because he was expelled from the world before completing such a feat, so you sent me back to the past to warn you about it.”

Skarla nodded. “I'll probably pay a huge price for this, but I doubt I'll care.” Her gaze was calm.

“As expected of my amazing mother. I'm leaving, but first...” Kamilla looked around, then whispered in Skarla's ear. “Make me close to Grandma, she won't be a good influence on the brat.”

Skarla blinked and nodded.

Soon that fluctuation was gone.

[ALERT! ALERT! ANOMALOUS INTERFERENCE DETECTED!]

“Yeah... it's starting!” Skarla snorted, but noticed that the warning was not for her, but was in the air and anyone present could see it, as evidenced by Kamilla's confused look at the air.

Skarla didn't hesitate to wrap Kamilla in her arms as a huge beam of light fell on her, distorting space and time.

For the first time, Skarla didn't have her consciousness pulled, but her whole being, accompanied by Kamilla, and a heavy presence fell upon them.

This is where the real problems lie!
