"The more fragments of my memories, the more I learn about the universe... But I don't learn anything about myself... Though, one thing's for sure... You, Fate Controller Philip... You are a crucial being in this universe. You must live until the end to bring chaos and nothingness..."
The Totality Catalyst inhaled deeply and closed her white eye sockets
"Maybe your selfish and self-centered ultimate goal isn't so bad after all..."
She opened her eyes and she gazed directly at Philip
"Just know that don't take everything for granted and everything will naturally come to you, even if everything is against the odds... Everything happens for a reason. I'll see you next time"
The Totality Catalyst hovered down to the ground while her void body dissipated away. Tenshi was coming back with her original form
"Wait! Before you go, do you want me to name you?"
Before the Totality Catalyst fully dissipate away, Philip asked a question
"Heh~"
The Totality Catalyst scoffed
"It's up to you! Surprise me!"
The Totality Catalyst then dissipated away completely and Tenshi came back. She slowly fell forwards and Philip rushed forward to catch her one more time
He caught her by the shoulders and Tenshi's consciousness came back and she intentionally twisted her body so that her back could lean against Philip's chest
Because Philip's center of gravity was shifted, he fell backwards when Tenshi put her weight against him. He fell on his butt as he supported himseld with his arms and Tenshi leaned on his chest while her head is on her right shoulder
"Are you alright?"
Philip whispered in Tenshi's ear and her body shook from sensitivity. He knew that she intentionally pushed him backwards to feel his warmth and touch
"Yes-"
Tenshi replied with a low voice. Bea watched both of them with empty eyes
"I miss you"
Tenshi exclaimed
"It's only been six hours since I woke up though?"
"Time doesn't matter... I could miss you in just an hour, a few minutes, or a second"
"Hm..."
Philip didn't know how to reply and he just swiped his right hand and rubbed the top of her head
"So, what have you been up to?"
Philip asked intimately
"Hm~ It's a secret. You'll learn about it later"
"Alright... I'll look forward to it"
"How about you? What are you plans after this?"
"Well..."
Philip and Tenshi looked in the distance. The view wasn't the best, but it was enough to give the feeling of temporary peace and serenity
Clear skies, foggy horizon, and a faint bright illumination that resembles the Sun across the horizon. The ground encompasses the layers and layers and rows and columns of varrying heights of bookshelves. The floating cubic bookshelves also returned in the air as pieces of paper free fall across the sky
The Infinite Library has calmed down and stabilized
"After this, we'll go to Vanessa and I think a lot will happen there..."
Philip's eyes were flahsing with blue color
"Mhm..."
"Then, we'll check on Mei'er and see her origin. She seemed incomplete or something"
"Yeah... She only wakes up when you exert your power after slumbering the same time you were asleep. That Crystal Flower is also suspicious"
"Exactly... Then after that, we'll visit Celine"
"Is it regarding the True Recoiless Technique that she learned just by watching you?"
"Yes. She might be one of those people that quickly learns martial arts techniques with just one look. It surprises me how she's still a Martial Grandmaster"
"Maybe it's because it's required for her to make her own personal technique to become a Martial King? Has she shown her domain though?"
"I don't know, that's why we'll have to visit her"
"Okay! Then after her is Sheena, correct?"
"Yes. You already know her true identity, right?"
"A Peacemaker, like Mathilda"
"That's what Zxhst said... I want to confirm that and seek her origin"
"Are you sure? You're going back in time and see all the creations of the Time Felon"
"Huh... Just by establishing Soul Link with me, you already learned a lot! Also, it's fine... I'll manage"
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"I don't know if it's possible, but we can try"
"It doesn't hurt to try"
"True! Next is we're going to visit Satou and Rue... I want to know more about Rue's Ruination ability and I'll be mentioning my experiment to Satou"
"Do you trust Satou that much?"
"Don't you? He's been the head researcher back in the military, right?"
"I did trust him, but he feels different now..."
"I think it's fine... He may look crazy and insane due to seeing everything that happened around me, but I got him under control. The moment I detect a trace of malicious intent within him, I'll eliminate him"
"Why did you want him to watch and assist you anyways?"
"Hmmm... I guess the reason is that I see the potential in him? He has the ability to recreate whatever I will want. If enough resources and funds are given to him, he will be able to make anything, with the help of mana"
"If that's what you think, then I have no choice but to support you"
"Yeah, besides, I don't think Observe is his only ability"
"..."
Tenshi's eyes widened
"I see..."
"Then, after the two of them... I guess we can check on Jude and Mathilda to see how they were doing"
"You're really doing your work as the Homeowner of the mansion and making sure everyone is well, huh?
"Of course! Now that Justine's gone, I have to push their hopes up and make sure they're at least smiling by doing these to them and changing their fates according to their desires"
"Very heroic and giving..."
Philip already has his arms wrapped and rested around Tenshi's stomach and Tenshi's hands were holding his arms, as if embracing him back
Bea listened to their conversation and heard everything. Her silver and white eyes flashed rapidly from all the information and knowledge that she heard
'Peacemaker. Time Felon. Observe. Ruination. Soul Link. Martial King. Crystal Flower'
Her head immediately searched for all the books and knowledge regarding the terms that she heard, but she only found little to nothing
"Bea"
Philip called out to Bea and she snapped back to reality
"Yes?!"
"Bea's suffering has been dealt with and her burden has been halved thank to Tenshi... Since you came to Bea by chance due to your pity for her, you are now free!"
Philip and Tenshi gazed at Bea. Their eyes seem to have meaning in it
"Really? I'm happy for her... If it wasn't for you, she might have self-destructed due to all the information she's receiving..."
"So-"
"But I'm sorry, I won't leave her... Since the start, I feel like I am now a part of her. I won't leaver her after all this time. I will continue to help her since she still has her power, right?"
"..."
"Also, won't it better if three beings were to split the burden? Besides, if Bea managed to become fully omniscient, I will be there to make sure she's stable"
Philip smirked under his face and Tenshi gave a sweet smile. Tenshi stood up and she reached for Philip's hand to pull him up. They then faced Bea directly
"I like that answer. I won't let you leave anyways"
"So did I pass?"
"Kinda? I think you already know what will happen now"
"Yes"
"What are you really?"
"I've been coined as a Lost Soul, a soul that maintained its personality that wandered through the universe. But in reality, I am what you call the Collective Cognition, an entity that thirsts for knowledge that travels throughout the universe. I was once formless, but I assumed the form of grown up Bea"
"What's your alignment?"
"The concept of good or bad and good or evil doesn't matter to me. As long as I can satiate my thirst and hunger for knowledge, I am satisfied. I don't shift to either side unless I find it necessary"
"Do you know the Four Absolute Rules of the universe?"
"Four Absolute Rules... No..."
"Theory of Literallity. Rule of Conception. Law of Definition. Principle of Naming"
"Theory of... Yes, I've taken a mental note"
"You have assumed grown up Bea's form, thus you also assumed her name. I will now be naming you so that you have originality and that no one will get confused"
Bea's eyes widened in surprise
"But, wouldn't naming me will take too much energy from you?"
"So, you already started gathering information regarding the Principle of Naming? Yes, that's fine for me"
"T-then... I'll be honored to receive a name"
Bea immediately knelt down with one kneww and lowered her head. It's as if Philip was about to bring Bea into knighthood
"It's simple! From now on... You'll be named as Beatrice!"
"..."
"..."
「 ... 」
Tenshi turned her head towards Philip with narrowed eyes as Bea, who is now Beatrice, was stunned
'Really?'
Tenshi muttered in her head. Beatrice then abruptly stood up and flew around in excitement
"Wow! Thank you very much! Why didn't I thought of that?! Instead of Bea, I should've called myself Beatrice! This is amazing
Philip had a wry smile on his face and Tenshi watched Beatrice with worried eyes. Beatrice didn't have any tone of sarcasm in her voice and that she's genuinely happy
'Well, if she's happy, then there's no problem here'
It was then that when Beatrice was smiling, her eyes and mouth released light as her body stretched outwards. At first, Philip and Tenshi were alarmed, but they immediately remembered that this was normal for beings or existences that never had a name to receive a name. Their power will increase and their appearance might change
Beatrice's body glowed brighter until she was covered in light. Philip and Tenshi didn't have to cover their eyes since the intensity of the light didn't hurt their pain receptors
After a while, the light dimmed down and Beatrice's body changed. Instead of a blank body of silver and white colors, gold inscriptions and yellow runed covered her entire body. She looked like an exquisite art. The other addition to her body is a floating yellow monocle on her left eye and a levitating yellow magnifying glass next to her right wrist
"With this, I think she has unlocked more abilities regarding procurement and acquirement of knowledge, as well as information storage"
「 With Information Compression and Data Deliverance, she now has Deep Storage, Data Magnification, Information Seeker, Knowledge Enhance, Pinpoint Accuracy, Ultrafast Reading, Lucky Find, Search History, Concept Map, Precise Connection, and Knowledge Comprehension 」
'Pretty overpowered when it comes to knowledge...'
Beatrice then slowly hovered down in front of Philip and Tenshi and showed her new appearance
"Beatrice"
"Yes, master?"
"What?? Just call me Philip"
"No can do. Since you have named and renewed me, I shall call you master... Or do you prefer to be called father or daddy?"
"Wha-?!"
Philip aggressively blushed from Beatrice's aggressiveness. Tenshi just elegantly covered her mouth and giggled
"Fine, just master is alright... Remember our conditions?"
"I'll provide you with all the information and knowledge that you need in order to protect everyone"
"Correct, thank you, now we should get going"
"Wait! But didn't we also agreed on that I will be asking you questions??"
"Uh uh uh! Bea's burden was just cut by a third, her suffering was just removed. It's time for her to have her well deserved rest after for who knows how long"
"But but but..."
"C'mon now, let us go. We can't leave the Infinite Library without you releasing ir"
"No!"
"So stubborn... You're now acting like an obnoxious brat! You leave me no choice"
Philip raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. An audible sound reverberated throughout the Infinite Library and the entire realm shook
"Wait! Nooooo!"
All the bookshelves shifted and contained Philip and Tenshi in a small room. Four wall connected each other and a roof landed on top of the four walls
Beatrice, while being obnoxious, couldn't help but shift towards the chair, in the front of the long table
At that point, Philip and Tenshi returned to the mansion library with Bea hunched over the table adn resting her head on her arms
"Pureblood"
P: Yes
Philip raised his right hand and a blood blanket conjured on his hand. He placed the blanket on top of Bea to keep her warm. Pureblood also hovered next to Philip and showed his presence to Tenshi
Tenshi looked at the Pureblood Marble and observed him while she tried to poke him, though he dodge left and right, trying to play with Tenshi
"Haaah... That's it then! Oh right, this is Pureblood. He was taken off of me and he became like this, along with Soulblood"
"Is it because if this ominious red book?"
Tenshi pointed at the Book of Perfect Blood that rested in the table
"It's a long story... C'mon, I'll tell you as we go to Vanessa's room!"
"Okay!"
Philip and Tenshi silently exited the library and closed the door behind them
Bea was quietly left in the library while she sleeps soundly and peaceful. Birds were chirping from the window but that's just music to anyone's ears
The Book of Perfect Blood lays dormant as an ominous maroon colored aura or smoke surrounds itself and dissipates away
