Chereads / The World Before / Chapter 10 - Creations

Chapter 10 - Creations

Every single night of Agua... in under one month all hell broke loose, Liliya and Naoya began to take sides on which will win, and if they somehow have opposing opinions, they will simply stay neutral no matter what even if said otherwise.

Yin has been completing her creations, even without me, she's been succeeding me and even in other cases surpassing one of my creations. She has also created an unpolished one but has thrown him away due to being unable to move... poor soul, I hope you rest in peace

"Kirin, mind helping me in this part? ti's probably my miscalculation"

"oh? let me see"

She's been depending on me quite frequently lately, even if some things are unneeded.

Yuna's been helping out on the nearby villages as an individual too, she really didn't have anything to do here lately, besides hogging some of the supplies here, she's been outside more than staying here. of course, she also informs me if something's amiss or if the two is somehow having a fight.

"Brother, I have a request for Yin, where is she today?"

"Still locked at the lab, how's Firma doing by the way?"

"she's been helping me quite a lot thank you, she enlisted a couple of help from the orphanage though... that wasn't what she was ordered to do so I was asking if I can change her mindset"

"Harsh... anyway, I'll ask if I can appoint you for her schedule"

"Thanks. We're leaving"

"Yes, my Lady"

I can't say that I'll appoint her in any schedule just for that... still though... Yin's creation deviating? that's news...

Lately, since the 14 months, the war has been relentless, we're just outside of the border and the place where the countries; the human race and the corrupted race brawl, magicians on the back, warriors on the front, siege weapons at a mountain and mines planted on the enemy ground, every time an all-out war initiates, it develops itself into a much more scarier face, wars before weren't like this, swords and spears, bows aimed at the sky, everything was... less explosive

"Kirin, My sister has returned from her journey"

Yin provides me a cup of tea

"Ahh... thank you, she has been established to guard Theia once again, replacing Firma for a check up"

"hmm? is something wrong from Firma?"

"I don't know, from what I heard, she has deviated but I think that's just her personality..."

"hmm... if it's her personality then this won't be anything bad but... Kirin, it's surprising that you're taking in one of your sister's request"

no... It's just that it's quite annoying if I ignore it... by the way -"I've heard that I you successfully created a new one, so? what's it's race?"

"A snow fox with Enchanted, Corrupted, and Druid. he's quite lazy but not as lazy as Sekhmet"

"hmm... the Let's see what's it capable of"

"I'm afraid that I didn't summon her as a fighter, Kirin. She's meant for espionage and gathering, after all, a fox is a master of scavenging"

"I see then... well I hope she'll be successful... It's a female huh?"

she was named immediately after rudely Identifying her Sexuality... named after the last name of the year, a symbol of change and the changing of seasons, Pier.

The other one, supposed to be the worst of all of Yin's creation is Sekhmet. Like she said previously, he is extremely lazy but when sensing hostile intent, he immediately either pounces and attack everything in sight or flee... or probably both. It's a flaming black cat coated in purple flames. what makes this creation a bad mix for a fight is that he negates any or all types of effects, even Liliya's Waltz of the dancing petals are no match for him, if the enemy has an unknown skill of reviving once you die, Sekhmet Denies the skill making it unusable, and Yin also designed his skill so that if Sekhmet's skill was being negated by another skill, then Sekhmet's skill will overpower it negating... the negate skill... I feel stupid.

Although Sekhmet might seem extremely powerful, it is only using effects that it uses, Burning the enemy or Freezing the enemy. Sekhmet's flame poses no burn in default but he can change it's temperature up to 1,200 C according to Yuna...

If Sekhmet were to be summoned to fight to the war, it would only create aa stalemate, his skill affects foes and allies so he's meant for subjugation with both Liliya and Naoya.

Yin also has another creation meant for buffing others, although if it's approached by any living beings, it would stop it's buff and electrocute everything in the vicinity, Solstice has a chip in its brain with commands inside, Yin provided it with the commands and Yuna helped a little, I don't know but I felt a bit of a second rate on seeing them work on Solstice. somehow Yuna, understood what the programming is and somehow created something, it's a living, breathing mech but it has no personality. I asked Yuna if she could but from what I understood, from the time she died, there was no such thing as an A.I. or a robot with personalities in her world... which makes me question, are the people from their time capable of bringing pseudo-life? if so, I do hope to see it in action.

"Ahh... Firma, you finally came, so... how are you?"

with the book I was reading closed, Firma fidgeted little and anxiously asked-

"so... I'm I'll be stepped down on my rank?"

"Dear no, I'm just here for your check-up."

she was hesitant even from touching her hand, it seems like she was shy but when it comes to her job, she's a monster.

Firma was Yin's creation to provide better protection and a good partner for Tai, but Tai seemed to disagree so they compromised so that each of them can monitor and protect my sister so when the other rest or on break, the other can take over, Tai seems to be protecting Theia on the open as a maid for her while Firma protects from the shadows, she has extreme shadow manipulation so she could create life like copies of herself but the problem with that was that it couldn't kill, and even in a one on one match with Tai, Firma lost in under ten minutes, Firma was an assassin by heart and her Doppelganger were only capable of deceiving the enemy. this was deemed to be useless for Tai and said the she should use it for when escaping was the only way out.

I can understand Tai's worries since almost every living beings here in Laplace are capable of disintegrating a small area in under seconds making the doppelgangers useless in combat.

"Nothing seems out of the ordinary... why did you deviate from your Mission?"

"I'm sorry sir Kirin but... those children were being kind to me from my order so I took them in... no need to feel disappointed at me sir, I'll understand if you'll scrap me like the other one..."

Other one? "Oh! do you mean Juren? oh, no! you're complete and our personality is what you are, mission or not, it's who you are. But I do recommend to never do something that'll anger my sister, alright?"

"Yes... thank you for your mercy"

She disappeared as soon as she was done... Juren... huh... well I can certainly say that that was one of Yin's mistakes... before Sekhmet was going to be summoned before him was a pile of misfits, creations with no life, lifeless... soulless, some were suffering, some were already dead by the time they were born, Juren was an example, for the first, it looked like he was fine, his fighting prowess were close to Naoya but... it couldn't handle the overdose of corrupted elements within, his hand withered into black dust and created a lump of flesh, no hands, no feet... we sent him to the dark pits and wrote a schedule to properly kill him... but... by the time we visit the pits, he was gone... nothing left in sight, not even a note or a letter, Liliya, Naoya and the others went to search for him but couldn't spot him or was killed by him... what I'm scared about is that he'll enact revenge on his creator... Yin won't die for be killed from him but It's a surprise that he's still alive...

"Brother, I have something to tell you"

I guess I will never know that answer huh?

"What is it?"
