Philip and Sai reminisced about the woman that appeared when Mei'er infused her ability into the ball of Mana. They could see the ethereal and bright woman because of Sai's eyesight and Philip's Definite Sight ability
The woman turned into a crystal flower and landed into Mei'er's hands, which caused her to fall unconscious and sleep as her energy was depleted
"Who or what was that woman? Do have any idea?"
Philip asked Sai since she's the most knowledgeable between the two of them
"Hm... In my own understanding, that woman is a direct descendant of spirits that has roamed this world a million years ago. Those spirits are in another dimension of this world currently"
Philip became interested about this topic. For a while now, since the emergence of Mana in the world and the transition of Mysticism Age, he wondered what's happening in the Spirit World, the other side of Earth where spirit from different folklore and mythology across the world
Even before the Mysticism Age, Philip believed the existence of the Spirit World. It was because a lot of people in his home country, even around the world, has this belief and faith that these existences exist in the world
It's the same concept as how a large mass of people believe in something and that something will come true. Just like how the whole world believed in the existences of Gods since the dawn of humans, the Gods earned divinity from the human race's faith and that's the reason they are what they are
So, if these people believed in folkloric and mythological creatures, those creatures will exist and be born from the belief and faith from the humans, just like how Alucard's race came to be in the world
"Do you know what kind of spirit?"
"No, because this world apparently has over a trillion spirits roaming in the other dimension"
"I see, then I have to seek her origin in another time"
"Huh?! What do you mean seek her origin?!"
"Oh right, I didn't tell you... I can seek the origin of any existences and concepts. That's how I changed the Fate of Jude, Alucard, and Natsuki"
"What?!! How?!! That should be impossible!"
"Why?"
Philip asked in confusion. He felt like he did something naughty and he'll get in trouble for it
"Seeking origins is a taboo! There are times in the past that shouldn't be seen and there are beings who can see you when you seek the past! Are there any beings that has saw you?!"
"Uh, Fotiรก and the Sword God?"
"WHAT?!"
Sai was utterly shocked, not from Fotiรก, but from the Sword God
"The Sword God of all beings to find?! You're in a great trouble!"
"Hm... Naaah! I'm fine!'
"Huh?! How are you so calm? How are you confident?! Don't you know how strong the Sword God is?! I figured you knew about the Universal Mastery Stages, so why are you nonchalant about this situation?!"
Sai became restless. She knew the power of the Sword God. If the Sword God would ever become serious in fighting against Sai, she would definitely lose. It's because her weapon is a spear and the sword is its mortal enemy. In addition to that, her enemy is a Sword God and she is an ordinary spear user, at the Spear Monarch stage, since she could control her own Soul Artifact, which is the Solaris Spear
"If he comes into this world, he can split the Earth itself apart! Why does this world have so much impending doom and threats that can destroy the world?!"
"Sai... Look, I appreciate you looking after me-"
"I'm not!!"
"Yeah yeah... Let's just say that he's not a threat to me"
"Is it because of Fate Control?!"
"Yeah, you could say that"
"What?! There's something you're not telling me"
"Do I have to?"
"I guess not..."
Sai pouted because she's very interested in Philip as an unknown being and she wanted to know more about him and his abilities. She just wanted to know what power or abilities it is
The power and abilities Philip has that Sai didn't know about are Sword Concept, Pureblood, and two more abilities even Philip doesn't know about
"I can seek your origin if you want"
"Absolutely no! I won't allow it! I don't know what you'll find and I'm not here to risk everything! Since the Gods in my past will also going to be able to see you!"
"Understandable..."
"Yeah! So, on to the next one, that little girl who's been living in the library this entire time... What do you know about her?"
"Absolutely nothing"
"I see..."
Sai had the regretful look on her face
"Why? Something wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just that she gives me the wrong feeling... Like, she's the most mysterious existence that I've seen, other than you, you're still human in my eyes"
"Really? It's that strange?"
"Yes, it's a bizarre feeling that I haven't felt ever since"
"So, basically, what you're saying is... I should be wary around her?"
"Yes, that's the best option... But it's up to you though. Do whatever you need to do with that Fate Control of yours"
"Alright then..."
~~~
It has been several minutes to an hour since Philip and Sai started talking and they are about to wrap up. They talked for a while regarding trivial things such as the Earth and other worlds that has alien life
"If you and other divine beings can communicate and contact each other, is there a Divine Realm or Dimension where divine beings gather of some sorts?"
"I can't tell you anything regarding that matter, even if I trust you completely"
"So, it's a yes then"
"What is it's a no?"
"You have a point"
Sai then stood up and stretched her arms and body from being stiff. She was ready to leave and carry Philip back to his room
"Alright, looks like we're done with our affairs!"
"Nope, we're not done. Go sit back down"
Philip stopped Sai before she could act. Sai was startled and looked at Philip with confused eyes. She sat back down, not knowing what Philip wanted to still talk about
"What's up?"
"It's about you"
Sai was stunned. She paused before resuming the conversation
"What about me?"
"Since you're staying here in the mansion, that doesn't leave you out of it, does it?"
"I guess you're right, go on"
"So, since coming into this world, the Earth, your purpose is to find a hero to save your world. That hero happens to be me, right?"
"Yes?"
"After I have controlled your Fate, you decided to stay here with Alucard. What are you're actual plans now? What are you going to do with your world? What about your status as the World Goddess?"
"..."
Sai was overwhelmed by Philip's direct questions and some of them even surprised her. She doesn't know how Philip knew about her true status and she contemplated more on how to answer his questions
"Take your time"
"..."
Philip let Sai think in her own mind first
Meanwhile, Philip looked back at the starry night sky. He found it beautiful, but lacking, because there are not too much stars due to the smog creates by the city and the carbon dioxide spreading around the world
He thought of everything that he and Sai talked about recently. The impending destruction of the world coming from Justine, Mathilda, and Natsu, Mei'er's origin, and Bea's mysterious presence. These are what Philip is getting worried about
But since he already got Justine, Mathilda, and Natsu's golden Fate sphere, he'll focus of Mei'er and Bea, and he will cross the bridge when he get to it
Eventually, Sai started to speak and started answering Philip's question one by one
"I plan to stay here and live with Alucard. It's because I haven't felt this feeling since I was born as a Goddess, I wanted to experience it and understand the feeling even more. Maybe, just maybe, mortal emotions aren't so bad after all..."
Sai smiled while looking down at the ground as she sways her legs on the ledge and holding the ledge with her arms. She has a satisfied yet solemn look on her eyes
"As for my world... I think I'm going to leave it... That world is beyong saving and I can't summon another hero since I've already used it on you"
Sai's expression changed into sorrow and melancholy
"Once that world has descended into chaos and become ruled by the demons, all the humans will become extinct and their will be no belief and faith to fuel my divinity. Eventually, I will lose my status as the World Goddess. Do not fret though! I still have my reserved and it will take thousands of years before my divinity is depleted"

"..."
Philip did not speak any further. He let Sai vent her complicated thoughts so that she wouldn't have any regrets and she would feel relieved. He also tried to understand where Sai is coming from and tried to put himself in her shoes
"It's just a shame that I couldn't manage and save my world... It's fine though! I'll just hide from the other divine beings and try to live a normal life here..."
"..."
Philip did not respond. He knows that her world could be saved if only he agreed to be her hero and defeat the demon lord. Philip felt a bit guilty but it couldn't be helped at all. He has more important matter on Earth
"I see... Sorry for asking"
"No no, you're fine. It's just that I was too arrogant and complacent on finding you. It was also my fault to begin with, because on how my world came into ruin and birthed a powerful demon lord"
Sai then raised her head and looked forwards
"Beside! Living here with Alucard and everyone else might be fun! I've been alone my entire life as a Goddess. A change of pace is good!"
"I see... Then, you really love Alucard, huh?"
"Is that how you humans call it? Love?"
"Yes, it's when you are too attached to someone or something that you never want them to disappear"
"Oh... Alright, I guess it's a complicated emotion then"
"It is!"
Sai's cheeks are tinted in red from thinking about Alucard but her eyes is solemn from thinking of her world
Philip didn't ask how she loves Alucard or why does she love him because he believes that Sai will have no answer
As Sai has said to which Philip agreed to, love is complicated. Philip also believed in the saying, love is blind
"Well then, are we done here?"
Sai asked with haste
"Nope, there's one thing left"
"Huh? What now?"
Sai asked in annoyance. Philip then pointed his finger on his right eye
"Oh! Right! The magic eye! I'll give it to you immediately, come here"
Sai seemed very excited
"Are you ready though?"
"Wait, what? The procedure is the same?"
"Unfortunately, yes. You'll experience that excruciating pain once again. It's the only way"
Sai stood up and held Philip's chin with her left hand. She stepped her foot in between his thighs and placed her head just a little bit closer to his. Her once severed left arm that has been reattached is raised next to her head with her hand pointing at his right eye like a spear
"Hm, alright then... Please be more careful and be slower"
"Huh? You like it slower and more painful???"
"Just do it!"
"Here I go!"
Sai's violet eyes shone as she she slowly moved her pointed hand at Philip's right eye. Her hand was covered in her Divine Energy to let the process be as efficient as ever
It was then that Philip subconsciously held Sai's right wrist with his left hand and her left wrist with his right hand
Philip really wanted it slow so that his Pain Denial and Pain Conversion will keep up and he won't feel anything at all
He then guided Sai's arm and slowly but surely, her pointed hand is reaching the surface of his eyeball. His eyelid twitched and quivered as hr could feel her skin touching his eyeball
It was then that Sai surprised Philip when she pushed a little bit of force that the first segments of her fingers has entered the upper opening of the socket and burried itself deep into his eyeball
"GYAAAGH!"
Philip couldn't help but exclaim in pain. Blood flowed immediately and dripped down his cheek. Pain Conversion activated and his pain turned into strength. He flexed his arms until veins has bulged. He didn't put any strength on his hands so to not accidentally hurt Sai and sever her arms again
Sai noticed this and appreciated the thought. She then forcefully, but carefully, pushed her hand deeper until her thumb entered the lower opening of the eye socket
Philip gritted his teeth so much that it's almost cracking. It just then that the white lines appeared around his head. It covered his mouth, neck, and jaws, but the white lines are more abundant around his right eye
Sai widened her eyes from this sight. She still doesn't know what these white lines are, neither do Philip
Instead of Philip pulling away his head, he pushed it back to make it quick. Sai has already reached the roots of his eyeball and started plucking the important nerves and vessels
After a moment, Sai instantly pulled out the eyeball and blood gushed out of his eye socket
"Uuuggghhh..."
The blood splashed on his hands and his demeanor looked weak and troubling. It was a good thing that both of them took their time, if not, Philip's emotions would overflow and there would be trouble. He is also manipulating his emotions as they go
The pain then slowly dissipated die to Pain Denial and Pain Conversion to the point he slowly became comfortable
He looked up and his eye widened from what he saw. He felt disgusted but intrigued at the same time
It was because Sai placed Philip's eyeball in her mouth and swallowed it whole
"Mhm! Delicious!"
Sai licked her lips that is tainted with blood. In doing so, her heart thumped and she kneeled down while unmoving. Her body shook and her eyes are widened from shock
Philip is also experiencing the same thing as the splashed blood started to wriggle and float in the air. The blood then flew back towards his eye socket and there was no traces of blood left on the floor, his hands, and on his clothes
This is the work of the Pureblood's ability called [Denying The Blood Will Lead To Death]. Since there has been blood that was shed, Philip should die because he didn't even try to reclaim his own blood back
But Philip didn't die because there was something that's threatening to harm him. In retaliation, his body automatically used a few Pureblood abilities, without Philip knowing, and grabbed the spilled blood and returned it to his bloodstream
The Pureblood was petty and his own body couldn't afford that behavior. It stopped the bloodstream and let the flow of Mana take over to compensate for Philip's living condition
This was unrelated to Sai's condition. Since there was left over blood from Philip's eyeball, his own Pureblood entered Sai's bloodstream by drinking a pint of it
Pureblood, Soulblood Energy, Blood Energy, and Divine Energy combined. Everyhting became calm and all of the foreign energies started to mix in a very peaceful and unnoticeable pace
Sai recovered and stood back up. She looked at Philip with mixed emotions
"How do you have Alucard's original Pureblood?"
"I had to remove the original Pureblood from him. The Pureblood couldn't be destroyed, so I sacrificed myself to make me its vessel"
Philip told a lie. He could destroy the Pureblood whenever he wants and make it not existing. He took it because he thought that it was a waste to get rid of and delete all the Pureblood abilities
"Okay..."
Sai nodded to Philip with a face full of suspicion and furrowed eyebrows
"I have eaten your eyeball and infused it with my Divine Energy. I will be returning your eye now"
Sai extended her left hand with her palm facing his eye socket. Her hand shone yellow until it touched his upper left side of his face
Philip felt the flow of relief on his face that even the white lines crawled back to his skin and disappeared
Divine Energy flowed around Philip's head and around Sai's arm as it flowed outwards into the surrounding
While this was happening, the wind blew stronger and a single crackle of thunder was heard above the sky, even though there were no clouds
Sai's Divine Energy became turbulent that she had too pull her hand away from his eye. The energy violently bursted around the area that it swirled around Philip, along with the strong gusts of wind
Philip had his eyes closed and the yellow light shone on his right eye like a burning fire across the upper right side of his face
The light then swirled along with the wind and flow of energy towards his right eye until a small flash of light was generated
Philip stood up while his eyes are closed. He already could feel the difference and he opened his left eye first
Everything seemed normal and he could see Sai looking at him with confused and shocked expression
He then slowly opened his right eye and a very different world has appeared in front of him. His right eye color became sky blue from being dark brown. He now has Heterochromia with his left eye being dark brown and his right eye being sky blue
Even his right eye is extremely detailed with small white clumps and smudges, elongated black and light streaks on his iris, and a pupil that is deep as the sea. His right eye looked like seeing the calm ocean and clear skies while sitting on a boat. In simpler words, his eye is very majestic and mesmerizing to look at
Now, for the big reveal, Philip expected that it would be like a magic eye similar from manga and games. He tried using the magic eye and used it on Sai
Information instantly filled his vision, from the grass, the earth, the roof cement, the sky and the clouds, and the city. A display popped up in his vision, similar to games, but different. An arrow just pointed into a specific object and showed the name and information
> Green grass (0.5 cm wide, 3 cm height, 30% moisture)
> Planet Earth (4.543 billion years old, 78% polluted, 8.213 billion population)
> Loam Soil (90% fertilized, 60% moisture, 78% growth rate)
> Mansion Roof (100% stability, 0.1% erosion, enhanced durability enchantment)
> Earth Atmosphere (99% air composition, 0.5% Mana composition, 0.01% Dark Energy)
> Cirrus Clouds (40% water content, 60% ice crystal content, 6,250 meters altitude)
> Air (78% Nitrogen composition, 1% Mana, 0.001% Divine Energy)
> Los Angeles (1,302 kmยฒ area, 6.756 million population)
"This magic eye can identify anything that you see in your vision. Since I've infused my Divine Energy into the eye, a part of my knowledge is stored in the eye, meaning, the eye can almost identify anything that I've seen or heard about. I don't what kind of magic eye property you received, but it should give you at least three random basic information"
The basic information that Philip saw on the objects are measurements that are helpful to him. This is because the magic eye has detected Philip's specific ability of Dimensionality Formulation
The magic eye then adapted to the Dimensionality Formulation and added a property to itself to include the measurements of the observed object that he, himself, can't detect like population, age, and percentage composition or content. So, the first property of the magic eye is something that should be called as Property Measurement
Basically, the main function of the magic eye is to identify any objects or existences according to Philip and Sai's knowledge, with the three additional random information
It doesn't help Philip too much, like how it would it games that gives the player the stats values, descriptions, and quality, but it would help him in identifying objects that he has never seen before. Maybe like an undiscovered metal or a diamond in a mountain of rubble
Philip then turned his head towards Sai to look at her and check for her information
> Goddess Sai (Goddess of Saykrandae)
*prounouned as Sa-y-k-ran-dey*
"What do you see after looking at me?"
Sai asked in curiosity
"Goddess of Saykrandae?"
"!!!!!"
Sai abruptly turned her head towards Philip with shock and worry in her eyes. She looked like she saw a horrific ghost
"What's wrong? What's Saykrandae?"
Sai bowed her head and looked down with sorrow and sadness
"I can't believe that the magic eye revealed that information to you. You're really lucky for the magic eye to show that"
"What is it?"
"It's my true name and the name of my world, the world of Saykrandae"
~~~
A demon lord, with the name of Diaphthorรก, was sitting on a dark purple throne inside a giant black crystal castle full of soldiers, flying demon beasts, and dragons. The sky is very dark and filled with dark purple and red. the two yellow moons loom over the dark patches of earth across the world
Demon Lord Diaphthorรก was leaning on his left arm while staring at the empty main hall of the castle. He was smiling sinisterly while his eyes were glowing yellow. His two pairs of horns has red and purple sheen flowing across the surface. His black and gray hairs slightly flutters from the wind. He holds a large black staff on his right hand with a floating sinister red orb that is caged by metallic vines
He was smirking because he recently heard the good news, from his trusted Oracle Seer, that the Goddess has abandoned this world
Meanwhile, a human that is the Legendary Warrior, who's defending the last hope of humanity named Polem, is standing at the highest point of a human made tower in the only territory of humans in the world, called the Last Hope
She wears an armor that mostly covers her important vital points and reinforced cloth covered her less important parts. She wears a golden helmet that covers most the top of her head, her ears, and her side cheeks. Her golden-silver hair flutters from the wind in an elegant manner
She holds a glowing yellow sword that emits Divine Energy on her hands as it's stabbed on the ground and it's called the Soltence. Her eyes are closed and her eyelids quivered from disappointment and despair
She opened her eyes and saw all the disasters and wastelands around Last Hope. She then looked at the sky that has the only spot where sunlight shine through coming from the planet's host star
The sunlight shone over Polem and her golden amber eyes glittered. A tear formed at the corner of her right eye and dripped across her right cheek after she felt the Divine Energy on the Soltence begin to get depleted
Lightning crackled in the distance. Diaphthorรก and Polem's eyes met even when the other one is at the other side of the world
It will be about time before the Demon Lord and the Legendary Warrior will face each other one last time since they received a revelation that Goddess Sai has abandoned the world of Saykrandae
