Chapter 185 - Unknown Being - Unresponsiveness - Explanation - Four Pillars World Conference

After the light dimmed down, everyone suddenly felt a sense of fear and dread. The atmosphere became heavy but they still somehow felt safe. It's just that there was a feeling that suddenly constricted their movements, like they needed to watch their steps

It was the same for Philip. He was the first one who saw Tenshi in front of him. He was extremely confused by her new appearance

'Scan'

Philip subconsciously used Scan because he absolutely has no idea what Tenshi is now. His anxiety shot through the roof and he became dizzy

『 ????? 』

『 Status: Static - Unresponsive 』

The edges of his vision started to blur and darken. He is currently being overwhelmed by his anxiety

The display was shown as black with particles of black sand being dusted away from the display

『 An exception has occured 』

『 This is the second time that an exception occuring with the short amount of time 』

『 Awaiting further changes... 』

Philip felt a sense of dread and fear after seeing the displays that are broken, rustic, and glitching. It's like the Omega System saw Tenshi's new transformation as an anomaly and shouldn't happen, like the arrival of the Agents of Chaos

Philip looked back at Tenshi and examined her transformation

Tenshi's entire body is black, like a void, the dark abyss, the vastness of space. She looked like the personification of a black hole, a black hole that's shaped as a human, but whichever angle he looked at, there was a white outline around her body. Her void hair ever so slightly waves in the air and a void halo is gloating above her head

The only facial feature that Tenshi got is her eyes that are open and entirely white, without pupils. Her eyes were glowing and her entire body seemed to be slightly shaking and trembling that it can't be noticed from afar, unless it's examined closer. Her body also seemed to be emitting a very low frequency tone that shook the air around her

"Philip? What is this?"

Sai recovered and directly asked Philip

"I-I don't know... It might be one of her newest transformations"

"Really? Then we're succesful on imbuing our power to the Totality Catalyst?"

"She has a name!"

Philip shouted which surprised everyone. It was like he was very protective of Tenshi

"Right... Tenshi..."

Sai corrected her words

"I think so? Because if it didn't work, she wouldn't have changed"

"That makes sense... Is she responsive?"

"No..."

"..."

Everyone was silent. An unknown being or transformation is in the middle of the room while floating. If that's not creepy, they didn't know what is creepy

Philip then went ahead and pulled Tenshi down by grabbing her arm. When he touched her arm, he didn't feel anything, not even temperature or any surfaces at all, but her body moved as Philip pulled her down. He let her body sit on the chair to not disturb everyone else

Tenshi is still unresponsive and kept looking straight. Celine is sitting across her, so she took her time to observe Tenshi as much as possible, in case a change might occur. It was the same for Satou with his eyes

"So, explain yourself... What do you mean by Soul Contract earlier?"

Sai went straight to the point

"..."

Philip was silent. He didn't know how to answer Sai because the term Soul Contract came from the Omega System. He quickly racked his brain to come up with an excuse

"A Soul Contract is a contract made between beings who has offered their lives and souls to the other. Upon completing the Soul Contract, certain benefits will be given to each other"

"Like what?"

"I don't know yet"

"Hm? Then how'd you know this in the first place?"

Sai was asking the right questions to which the others were also asking towards themselves

"During the mock battles in the military facility six months ago, Tenshi's Fallen Angel transformation was triggered by Sheena. I went ahead and intervened to bring back Tenshi..."

"..."

"...and I met the God of... Dark... Ness..."

"!!!"

Philip kept talking that he didn't realize he mentioned the God of Darkness. He forgot that he shouldn't metioned this to the other gods because they are on the hunt for him. The God of Darkness died four years ago in the hands of Philip, surely Sai and Ken knew about it

"What?! That doesn't make any sense!"

Ken exclaimed

"You met the God of Darkness six months ago?"

Sai wanted confirm

"..."

Philip didn't answer

"But the God of Darkness vanished four years ago? The Divine Realm was in shambles and they're hunting for the God Killer and the next God of Darkness until now. Well, it's not bad as it is today than back in the day"

"Tell me how you met the God of Darkness six months ago!"

Ken urged Philip

"..."

Philip closed his eyes and pondered for a second. Sai and Ken narrowed their eyes at Philip

"I refuse"

Philip opened his eyes and Sai and Ken wefe surprised

"We're talking about the Soul Contract, we don't want to change the topic, do we?"

"But this is a problem involving the gods! If you were somehow involve in the disappearance of the God of Darkness, we will meet tons of problems in our way"

Sai explained

"No"

Philip exclaimed in a deep voice that's full of power. Sai and Ken were taken aback, unlike the others, because his anger were directed towards them. The Old Man just watched and listened

"Anyways... After meeting the God of Darkness, I met the Goddess of Light. At that point I learned that Tenshi is the Totality Catalyst and that there will be wars that will form if anyone knew, that has power, that the Totality Catalyst exists"

"She's right... So, we won't tell anyone"

The Old Man spoke

"The Goddess of Light is involved in this also?"

Ken muttered. Philip ignored him since he has already warned him earlier about his fate

"Alright, are you finished talking among yourselves? We want to know what a Totality Catalyst is!"

Natsu complained, to which others thanked her for standing up with these top beings

"Basically, Tenshi is a being called the Totality Catalyst. The Totality Catalyst can absorb any concepts and aspects, to which Tenshi herself can transform into those concepts or aspects"

Justine explained

"So, what's the problem? Why is Philip and the other three making a fuss about it? Isn't it better for us then?"

"Apparently, gods and the highest beings would do anything to obtain Tenshi and imbue their own power onto her and claim her as their vessel or something. The Totality Catalyst will act as a symbol of power and with her, they can dominate anything and anyone"

Philip explained in his own understanding

"Long story short... The universe will be in constant conflict if Tenshi fell on the wrong hands"

"Hmmm... I think I understand"

Natsu said and the rest nodded

"So, about you guys..."

Philip called out to the Old Man, Sai, and Ken

"Why'd you immediately try and attack Tenshi?"

"We didn't attack her, we just tried to put our power onto her"

Sai explained

"Right... If I didn't finalize the Soul Contract, Tenshi might have been hurt"

"I doubt it. She's the Totality Catalyst after all, and as you've mentioned, she's under your protection, so she's basically untouchable"

Philip frowned at Sai's comments, but he didn't mind it and didn't put too much care on it

"Ah! The next segment of the broadcast is about to start! Are you ready Philip?"

Sai asked

"Ready for what exactly?"

"Four Pillars World Conference with you as a special guest"

"What?!! I didn't know about this!"

Philip exclaimed in shock. He wasn't oriented nor prepared and he will be pulled in randomly in the biggest conference in the history of the world

He quickly thought of a way to get out of the situation

"Are we just going to neglect Tenshi here?"

Tenshi was still unresponsive. Celine and Satou are keeping an eye on her

"We don't have a choice. Besides, some of the major decision will be decided by you"

"Wow, way to go making me more nervous!"

Lady luck wasn't on Philip side, unless this was fated and Philip needed to go through with it

Sai passed another upgraded modified laptop to him and he opened hers

"Goddamn it!"

Philip exclaimed as hes at back down on his chair and opened the laptop. He looked at Tenshi with worried eyes and gazed back on the laptop

Justine didn't miss this and she frowned from the relation that he and Tenshi formed. Especially since establishing a Soul Contract with each other sounded special

~~~

A few minutes later, the broadcast resumed. The camera first opened at Sai

"Hahat! Look who's back! Everyone in the world, you're about to witness history! So, if some of your family members, friends, relatives, loved ones are not watching, call them and make them now! Because if you miss this... You will be living in an old world, you will be missing an important period in the history of the world!"

Everyone became excited once again. The people that left the broadcast was called in again by their friends and relatives. Most of them were skeptic but they're expectant

"We'll be having the first ever Four Pillars World Conference!"

As soon as Sai declared the segment of the broadcast, four screens appeared in the broadcast with a total of five camera footages

"We have each leaders of the pillars present today and we will talk about the changes in the world, regarding magic and mana"

The first camera showed a symbol of an atom with two orbits, symbolizing the Sci-Tech Division. The second camera showed a symbol of a question mark with an eye as the dot, symbolizing the Secret Organizations. The third camera showed a symbol of a symmetrical cross with an upright triangle at the top, an upsidedown triangle at the bottom, and an octagon behind the cross, symbolizing the Religious State. Finally, the fourth camera showed an eight-pointed star in the middle of two swirls that looked like magic and mana, symbolizing the Mystical Academy

"We have a special guest for today. The one and only person who made all of these development possible with his groundbreaking research... Philip"

The fifth camera then opened and showed Philip's face. Everyone on Earth still couldn't get over his handsomeness that's out of this world

The other cameras also opened, revealing the silhouette of Lemegeton and Kamijou. Yozu's camera is still turned off and his mic and speakers were off

"Headmaster?"

Sai called out to Yozu

There was no response

"Welp... While waiting for the Headmaster to set up his camera... Accompanying us are the branches, fingers, and council members of the pillars!"

There was no camera that appeared, but instead, the Ten Branches of Sci-Tech Division, Six Fingers of Secret Organizations, and the Council of the Octagram joined the call of the same channel that everyone's in

It was then that some of the leaders of yeh branches spoke towards Philip

"Mr. Philip, it's nice to finally meet you!"

The leader of the Omni-Engineering Administration spoke

"We are honored to meet you"

"It's the same for me"

The leaders of Bionic Mechs Association and AQuaRMaP also spoke

"Your research is astounding! We are indebted to you that we were able to make several breakthroughs in research and experiment because of your own research as our base and structure"

The leader of the Scientific Research Laboratories complimented

"Thank you"

Philip spoke for the sake of it and to not make it awkward. He can't handle compliments and greetign well, especially if a lot, billions of people are watching

It was then that Yozu's camera opened and Philip was surprised

"Sorry for the late arrival. I had to deal with tantrums of children"

Yozu spoke as Yuze and Lyre we're standing behind him on his right and left respectively. Even if there's light, the atmosphere in Yozu's office seems dark as Yuze's left eye is sinisterly glowing with blue light and a white glint burns in her iris while Lyre's right eye is also sinisterly glowing with aqua blue light and a yellow star twinkling in her iris

Philip frowned and shrank down
