Everything went back to normal after the whole confrontation between Goddess Sai and Philip, as well as the arrival of several high beings
The rest of the residents of the mansion approached the arrival of the strongest people in the mansion. Several maids and butlers approached Jude to attend to the weakened Mathilda
Natsume was worried the most about Philip as she held her cheeks and looked at his unconscious face
"Will he be alright?!"
"He's fine fortunately"
"I'm glad"
The Old Man answered Natsume's worried question
Vanessa was also especially worried about Justine because there are faded line marks across her body on the arms, legs, neck, and face. She's willing to study these markings since it's the first time that they saw her like this
Finally, everyone entered the mansion and they examined Philip and Justine
As they were inspecting them, Vannesa, Natsuki, and Natsume looked at Goddess Sai with confused eyes
"Who is she?"
"Is she..."
"She looks pretty..."
"Of course I should be pretty since I'm a Goddess after all!"
Goddess Sai puffed her chest from Natsume's comment
"And as for the unstable fire controller, I am Goddess Sai, a Goddess from another world!"
"Wha-!"
Natsuki was flustered at what Goddess Sai called her. It hit a sensitive part of her
Everyone looked at Goddess Sai with piercing glares. Goddess Sai became flustered and looked around in panic, afraid of their glare since she is inside their home
She slowly took a few steps back and bumped into Alucard. She looked up and saw Alucard looking down at her with emotionless eyes
Goddess Sai's eyes watered and her cheeks became flushed. Alucard then placed his hand on top of her head. After a while, he pulled his hand and looked at his palm
Alucard then left and went towards the direction of his room. Goddess Sai panicked once more and then followed Alucard nonetheless
"What's up with her?"
Natsuki couldn't help but ask. The Old Man followed Goddess Sai with his eyes to examine her behavior. He then shook his head in disbelief after confirming his suspicion
"Looks like she took a liking to Alucard"
"What do you mean? Did she shift her focus to Alucard after she couldn't take Philip to her world?!"
Jude asked
"No, she's currently experiencing a feeling of a mortal"
Everyone that heard the Old Man's explanation was shocked. They look towards their directon until they disappeared around the corner. They stared and thought in disbelief
After several minutes, the Old Man trasnported Philip and Justine to their room. Vanessa and the rest also returned to their rooms to mind their own business. Natsume kept the Oriental Sword in her room
The Old Man entered Philip's room and he encountered a predicament. He forgot that this room was also supposed to be Justine's room. He forgot to give Justine a different room after he made Philip the Homeowner
He looked around to look for clues since he considered the possibility that they might have shared the room together anyways
The Old Man has no eyes inside the mansjon because he wanted to give everyone privacy but he could still feel from very far away if the Pocket World at the basement has been damaged
He also figured that Philip has the ability to hypnotize women because of his reformed body. If that was the case, Justine would first learn more about Philip and eventually fall for him
Just then, he saw the futon that was folded on the side
"Just what I thought"
The Old Man mumbled as he place both Philip and Justine down on the soft bed side by side
"This won't do at all! You two should sleep in one bed!"
The Old Man thought that the two of them has been sleeping with separate beds when in actuality, they have been sleeping together
The Old Man snickered while walking out of the door in excitement
He stayed in the mansion for a few days to guard the land and the mansion

It's dark
Where am I?
Is everyone okay?
Hm...
I've seen this place before...
I think?
It's either my consciousness or my imagination...
It's very dark right now
Hm? It became windy
The wind's getting strong
Huh, it's pulling me?
Am I falling?
...
~~~
Philip saw pitch black darkness in his vision. He couldn't see his hands nor anything around him. He tried to walk but it took him nowhere
It was then that Philip heard a whoosing sound of the wind beside his ears. The wind became stronger and stronger by the second until it felt like he was being pushed by the wind. He also felt vertigo from the wind that he felt like he was falling through an abyss
The sound around his ears swooshed around until it became a deafening sound that rang and reverberated in his ears
The surroundings became extremely quiet and he could feel the gentle wind across his body. He felt like he was flying above the clouds right now
He closed his eyes and opened them and he still could see darkness, but the darkness immediately faded away and revealed a red colored world with reddish fog on the horizon. The red world also immediately faded away and it was replaced by a normal looking world with a blue colored ground, white fog in the horizon, and countless stars in the dark skies
"The plane of Future Vision..."
Philip immediately recognized the place he is currently in. He looked around and saw that everything is still the same
He then clutched his chin and thought of something deeply
"Calling this place as the plane of Future Vision is quite bland... Maybe I should think of a different name since I will come here frequently"
Philip closed his eyes and his imagination ran wild, thinking about cool sounding names for the plane of Future Vision. His weebness is acting up after a long time when it hit his realization that these fantasy related concepts became real in the world and he wanted to name his abilities properly
"Future Vision... Plane... Realm... Dimension..."
Philip thought of different words and concepts that better represents and explain the meaning of the plane of Future Vision
He believed that giving a name to certain concepts will provide a better understanding and a hidden power because words and symbols that can be understood by existences will give the absolute meaning behind them
In simpler terms, literal words have an absolute effect to concepts that have it, in terms of conceptual power according to the Rule of Conception
How did Philip knew all of this? It's because he just recently learned it, the moment his consciousness recognized that he was in the darkness earlier. The information is already in his knowledge and he easily absorbed it and understood it perfectly
"Fate Timeline"
Philip chose to name the plane of Future Vision as Fate Timeline. It's because that, recently, he wasn't seeing the future at all. The plane is just giving him milestones of the future or the Fate of the others like Alucard's and Jude's. Therefore, the Fate Timeline will change once he reached a certain point in time and forces him to do something then the Fate Timeline will decide which timeline to take depending on Philip's actions
His ability of Future Vision has been changed to him seeing the instantaneous future in front of his eyes or his accurate prediction within the day
At this moment, the Future Vision ability has been separated from the Fate Timeline ability and both abilities has become two completely different abilities
Upon stating the name of Fate Timeline, the surroundings rumbled and changed in front of Philip's eyes. A white line was created in front of him, on the ground, and extended to the horizon. The white line represents the current timeline and it suddenly turned golden
He strained his eyes and tried to look along the gold line to see if something's different. So far, nothing's different and it was just a straight gold line that went past the fog in the horizon
Philip understands the meaning behind the gold line. If this place is called the Fate Timeline, then there should be milestones and important event along the gold line as time goes by. The gold line doesn't show it because it's currently uncertain of the future since Philip is still unconscious in the real world
The blue floor turned white and emitted light. The stars in the sky twinkled brighter ans arranged themselves in a uniform formation. There are also thin films of light refractions in the sky, resembling auroras in the North and South Pole. There is also gentle wind sweeping around the area
Philip concentrated and closed his eyes, manifesting the spheres around him. Three golden spheres floated in front of him while eight white spheres floated around him
He observed the golden spheres and saw Alucard and Jude. He was surprised that Justine's sphere is included from the golden ones
Apparently, triggering Justine's past by making her remember what happened to her world and her family has unleashed her true power, or at least the power that destroyed her world. This solved her own problem and gave her the ability to find the truth about the Swirlonic State and closure from her family
The reason that Justine survived the annihilation of her world is because she is a Swirlonic Agent. She is supposed to inherit the Swirlonic State from the God who possessed it
After the God was eradicated by his own power, the Swirlonic State was immediately transferred to Justine, which created a swirl in the space-time continuum of the universe and sent her to Earth, about five years ago
Philip touched Justine's golden sphere and saw her Fate. Her Fate is to annihilate the world that she's currently in, eradicate herself, and pass on the Swirlonic State to another Swirlonic Agent in the same world to send them to another world and repeat the process
Philip shook his head dejectedly from Justine's Fate. He decided that he would change her Fate when the perfect time comes
Philip then looked at Alucard's golden sphere. He smiled after touching it because Alucard's wish will definitely be granted. Plus, Philip has a surprise for him and it has something to do with him changing Goddess Sai's Fate
Lastly, he looked at Jude's golden sphere and it seemed fine. Jude has rightfully earned the title of a Sword Saint after working hard for one million years while having the Reverse Sword condition. The only goal left for Jude is to train harder and become a Sword God to take revenge from the Sword God that killed his master
He then looked at the rest of the white spheres and looked for clues. The only clues that he got is that he needs to earn Mathilda's trust and cure her trauma, Camille's bizarre condition, Vanessa's past and passion, Natsuki and Natsume's problem in their abilities, and Mei'er's past that caused her to be mute. Kyouko and Bea is still an enigma to him
He needs to hurry up and make these white spheres into golden spheres and find out what the Fate Timeline will show him and learn why it showed him their Fate in the first place
He breathed deeply and the spheres disappeared around him. He decided that he would like to organize his abilities first and make them more understandable while sticking to their conceptual structure and power
"I think Fate Control should stay the same..."
Philip didn't saw the need to change the name of Fate Control because it literally just means controlling Fate. He could change it to Fate Manipulation but he knows that he's not at that level yet
"I think Emotion Manipulation should also stay the same"
Philip couldn't think of a reason to change the name of Emotion Manipulation because he knows to himself that he doesn't really manipulate his emotions. He is always having a hard time to manipulate his emotions and it always ran rampant whenever he focuses in other things like Fate Control
His annoyance always shows, his anger kept accumulating, and there are still some emotions that he can't control. This ability is more like Emotion Blockage or Unstable Emotion. This ability made him confused
"Pain Denial... I could split it and call it Pain Conversion"
If absorbing pain and converting it to strength or speed is also Pain Denial, then the meaning of the word "denial" has already lost its purpose, it won't deny and just convert. This ability would become a two-step process by denying the pain then converting it to something else. In the end, Philip split the ability into Pain Denial and Pain Conversion
By using Pain Denial and it denies the pain that Philip receives, the denied pain should be going somewhere else as an excess concept, just like how energy couldn't be destroyed and must be transferred. This either goes to his emotions and amplifies it or it will go directly to Pain Conversion and use the pain as his own strength
"Weather Manipulation will stay the same"
Philip didn't find anything that would change Weather Manipulation because he literally controls the weather at will, unless he could also change seasons or climate, which would be impossible for now this early in the transition of Mysticism Age
"Supreme Sense of Measurement should become Dimensionality Formulation"
The Supreme Sense of Measurement means that Philip could sense all and every measurements in his vision. But recently, he could see all and every measurements in his vision and he could formulate and arrange the figures in his vision. Therefore, all objects in his vision has dimensionality and he could formulate them instantly, as per the new name of the ability
"Bipolar Body will become Duality Kinetic State"
Since one of Philip's body defense mechanism is to complement his body state by cycling through extreme hotness and coldness when his body knows that he's dying, it would make sense to name it as Duality Kinetic State. This is because all of the molecules across Philip's body is either vibrating rapidly or it's in complete stasis
When molecules vibrate or move rapidly, it produces heat by kinetic energy and when a molecule has zero kinetic energy, it's in absolute zero temperature (-273.15°C). Since it's happening at the same time, it will be in the duality state, thus the name of the ability
"Body Language Translator would stay the same"
Directly reading body languages and understanding them immediately is self-explanatory, unless the target existence is a very high being
"Now, Eye Vision and Clairvoyance... These abilities are confusing because the other needs the other for it to work. I know that each of them has a purpose but combining them serves another purpose"
Philip became confused by these two abilities because Eye Vision serves the purpose of making him see farther and clearer and Clairvoyance serves the purpose of seeing the present in real-time
But combining the two abilities serves the purpose of seeing the past and origin of the target, as well as the most important moment in their lives
This means that the three purposes are completely different from each other
"Could it be?"
Philip realized it, seeing the source and origin of an existence is not due to the combination of two abilities but it's a completely different ability in it's entirety
"Alright, it's decided... Eye Vision will become Definite Sight and Clairvoyance will stay the same. The ability to see the source and origin of an existence will be called Origin Seeker"
As Philip declared the names of his abilities, the white lines appeared on his body and slowly crawled around his hands, legs, and neck
"Hm... I still don't know what these white lines are, so let's hold on that for now..."
The white lines wiggled ever so slightly from being ser aside by Philip. The white lines seemed to have a mind of their own
Since Philip doesn't know the ability of the white lines and their purpose, he decided to learn it later since it's only one. But little did he know, he has five abilities that's unknown to him that are active
He then raised his right hand and looked at his palm, the Stigma of the Sword is still there. He wouldn't be able to change Sword Potential because it's a concept of the universe and the name itself makes sense already. There is just one thing that's glued on Philip's mind
"Sword Concept..."
Philip learned this level of Sword Mastery in his mind, the same way he learned about the Rule of Conception, and it's higher than the Law Stage
Apparently, Sword Concept literally means the sword itself. There is no sword without the concept of sword and all concepts that has something to do with the sword absolutely follows the Sword Concept, even Sword Gods, legendary swords, and Sword Laws
All Sword Skills, Sword Abilities, Sword Techniques, Sword Arts, and Sword Talents is owned by the Sword Concept and it governs them
Basically, this means that Philip is already the most powerful being in the universe by being the Sword Concept, if not for his mortal human body that is only tempered and reformed by Mana from the Primordial Remnants
Philip shivered from the thought of having this kind of power in his pockets. He doesn't even know why he has the Sword Concept in his hands
"Is this some kind of plot device?"
Philip questioned himself because there is no reason for him to have the Sword Concept, except for the reason that he loves the sword
Like his previous guess, maybe there's someone else pulling the strings behind him? He wasn't complaining that he has this power but it was too much responsibility
"Well, this could also mean that I could invent any sword skills or techniques"
This is also the reason why the Dominator Sword was completed when Philip just touched it
"So, that's all of my abilities... What now?"
Philip looked around and above the sky. He was aware that he became unconscious but he didn't know that he regained consciousness to fend off the high beings with his unknown power that Gaia has an idea of but forgotten because Philip made her to do so
It was then that he closed his eyes and tried to wake up. He felt the vertigo of him being pulled towards the sky as the surroundings disappeared around him. He's being pulled out of the Fate Timeline
