BXBX NOVEL Chapter 184: Mother
[Fufu, I'm affected by your desires, Master. Shadows are how their Master want them to be. If you wish me to be a beautiful woman, then that shall be done. We system don't really have anything as we're just Spiritual Beings.]
"Hmm, that's good then. So, how do I do this sign on the contract?"
Shen Yu asked.
[Oh, wait a minute! Don't resist.]
He shrugged and closed his eyes, expecting a change of scenery. And he was right as he felt a slight tugg on his soul. He could have easily resisted it but trusting the system, he relaxed and let him be guided.
[You can open your eyes, Master.]
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Yu opened his eyes. He was surprised as he looked at his surroundings.
It was as if he was standing in the cast cosmos, looking over thousands of worlds. The background left him really surprised, especially since it felt so real.
[Because it is real, Master.]
His head snapped towards the direction from where the voice, and found a small sphere of darkness hovering in mid-air. It was surrounded by a strange dark mist that seemed to devour even the vast cosmos.
He ignored everything and asked.
"So, this is your real form?"
[You can say that. It's the System Core to be exact and what you're seeing is the system space. The cosmos you see in your surroundings is the cosmos which is technically owned by me.]
The dark sphere floated towards him and stopped before him. It was a bizarre scene talking to a ball. But he didn't mind it. This ball was his partner who was the closest to him.
[Hehe, I'm flattered by that, Master but let's proceed with what we need to do.]
Suddenly, a small window of a hologram appeared in front of him. He looked at it and read the information written on it.
Surprisingly, it was about him. Everything was written in details and things that even he forgot was there.
[It's a life and death contract, after all. We need to show why we chose our Master. You just need to put a drop of your blood essence on it and we'll be done. But remember to put a part of your Soul in it.]
Shen Yu nodded and tapped his forehead, taking out a crimson red drop. He then placed it on the hologram as it vanished soon after.
He then turned towards the ball and asked.
"What not?"
[Just a minute.]
He nodded and waited for sometime, looking around at the cosmos. Every speck of light actually held a world of it's own and maybe even the world he was in was among them.
It really was amazing to look at it from another perspective.
As he was looking around, he noticed the dark mist once again. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to touch it, but it was as if the dark mist adored him and was waiting for his call.
It instantly came flying towards him and surrounded him from all side. Normally, he would felt surprised or weirded out from this situation but he found a strange warmth in the mist.
He couldn't describe it but it was as if a parent was showing their love to their child. It was a strange experience for him, as he had almost forgotten this feeling.
[It's done...oh! You're actually playing with her.]
Shen Yu was full of smiles as he played with the dark mist. It was as if it had a conscious of it's own, which was a little surprising for him but he was more than happy to play with it.
Hearing the system's voice, he stopped playing with it and turned around.
"What do you mean? What is this dark mist?"
[Well, now that I'm connected to you I guess I can say more things. So, master, this is actually a part of your mother.]
"Huh? My mother?"
[It's complicated but yes, your mother. Not the one you had on Earth but the real one. The one who gave you your existence, to be more exact. As I said, it'll be complicated without explaining and I can't do anything.]
"I..have a mother?"
Somehow, the fact wasn't settling in him. But he still accepted it. The whole system part was already weird so it wouldn't be weird if he suddenly have a powerful mother, would it?
[Oh, the system has nothing to do with your mother actually. It was a pure coincidence that we ended up together. I never really thought I would actually make the child of %%%% my Host...wait! I can't even say her name?]
Shen Yu shook his head. For some reason, he felt nothing towards the fact he now has a mother. It was a good thing, probably but he couldn't bring himself to care for a being he didn't even meet and knew absolutely nothing about.
The dark mist seemed to have sensed his thoughts and gathered before him. It slowly took a form of a woman or rather the figure of her.
The dark hand then reached forward and raised Shen Yu's chin upwards. Then, the figure leaned forward and planted a kiss on his forehead.
Shen Yu was surprised as his body stiffened. He felt a strange warmness spreading throughout him. He couldn't pin point it but he felt happy from the kiss.
A smile formed on his lips as he thought.
'What is this feeling?'
As he was thinking about it, the dark mist slowly poured itself into him. He was surprised and soon found out that he could actually control it.
He raised his hand and the dark mist came out. He could feel a strange connection with it as if it was a part of him, yet at the same time it was not.
[Congratulations, Master. Your mother has actually given you the power of True Null. She must be busy now so she can't come to you so she gave this gift.]
"True null?"
Shen Yu asked, having a happy smile on his face. He didn't ask about his mother as he guessed there were many matters for her to handle.
'She is probably some Primordial being fighting with another Primordial being.'
[True Null, huh. You can even say it's the strongest power you have currently now. With this, you can erase anything from concepts, worlds, multiverse, anything. Even beings who have existence erase would be helpless against this. In fact, even those who have Transcended the existence would be affected by it.]
