< Seduction Effect Afflicted >
< The [Eye of Desires] Gift had successfully affected the Player. >
< Player will be under Target Park Kara's control for around 1 hour. >
< (!) ALARM (!) >
< New Quest (!) >
< Divine Quest: Attack the outside enemies (0/18) >
< The Player will be given a briefing by the Diviner who installed the Gift Core into Target Park Kara in the Divine Communication Subspace. >
< Giving the Player the briefing. >
" Ooo this is an interesting one. " said the Diviner who is technically Inquisitor Inspector Park Kara's god.
" A human with the power of 'Aether' and implanted with a System in this era. " said the Diviner as she talked to Ragna who is sent there by the System.
" You ... who are you? " Ragna asks the Diviner and she then summons chains from below.
" Such insolence, how dare mere mortal questions me!!!? " said the Diviner as the chains quickly hold Ragna's body, pressing it hard.
" GGGAAAARRRRKKKKHHHHH!!!!!!!! " Ragna screamed as lightning came out from those chains.
< CRIT DMG >
< Cause: the lightning from the chains. >
< (!) INFO (!) >
< Apparently the User's current weakness is lightning and any kind of thunder-based damage. >
" Dammit, why do you tell me just now that I had a weakness!!!!? "
" You could've just told me earlier!!!? " Ragna shouts at the System due to his anger as he then sets his eyes on the Diviner who owns this Subspace that has summoned the chains that binds him.
" Are your conversations finished? " said the Diviner who revealed herself as the Aphrodite, the goddesses of love, or should we say the Diviner of Love.
" You, Aphrodite? " Ragna asks and he then was shocked again.
" It's the goddess of beauty and love, Aphrodite!!! mortal!!! "
" When you address a god, you should also call them with their Title," she says while introducing herself to Ragna which then goes to the reason she called him here.
" So O goddess of beauty ... why do you summon me? " Ragna asks which Aphrodite then tells that through her mortal, Park Kara, she is able to enter the minds of the people that the Inquisitor sees with her Gift Eyes, enabling the goddess to venture deeply on every mortal without them knowing.
Hearing this, Ragna was shocked, not by the lightning that emits from the chains, but by the fact that the goddess had the ability to enter minds.
"( If she can enter minds, then ... )" Ragna quickly thinks as he wildly assumes the goddess has already known about Twelve if the goddess already managed to identify both the 'Aether' and the 'System' inside his body earlier.
" You can .... enter minds ....? " Ragna asks which the goddess then replies that she already did earlier and found him, quite interesting for a mortal who was once not Gifted by her brothers and sisters.
" Of course, I do child, through your eyes, I can easily enter and see everything inside your brain. "
" Including the brain of your spiritual friend inside you that survives many Timelines. " Aphrodite says as she orders for Ragna Twelve to come out as one of the chains that rise and stabs Ragna as it enters his body, giving him a lot of pain as the chain brings out Ragna Twelve, the spirit that Aphrodite mentioned earlier.
" Twelve!!! " Ragna calls Twelve as his very spiritual and soul body form is being ripped out from Ragna's own body.
After Ragna Twelve is ripped out, Aphrodite then approaches him and looks at him.
" Interesting, hmm ... interesting... "
" It appears you looked like someone I know from the previous Timelines but ... "
" Which was it? " Aphrodite asks Twelve as Twelve then looks at her and suddenly spits on her face.
" Don't act dumb you old-rotten Diviner lady!!!! you know who I was!!! I am Ragna Kent the grandfather of the Divine Hero that you also sponsored back in the ...!!! "
" Ah yes, I know .... "
" From the 12th Timeline, is it not? " Aphrodite replies while slapping Twelve as his punishment for spitting on her face as she tells him that she remembers who he was, especially his granddaughter Carla whom she sponsored during the wars against the Deviants back in the 12th Timeline.
" You still remember ... " Ragna 12 heavily said that word as he remembers the Diviner for also being one of the Diviners who gives Carla the *Heavenly Killer Poison as her execution method.
As he stated all that, Aphrodite then laughs as the Diviner then praised how detailed Ragna Twelve explains the whole thing perfectly since the things he says are all true.
Hearing that, Ragna or Ragna Current is very shocked after knowing all of that, those facts that make his mind slowly hate the Diviners more for being such an inhumane punisher.
" You ... how could you do that? ... to my granddaughter ...? " Ragna says as he looks sharply at Aphrodite.
" Oh please, Ragna from the Current Timeline... don't be that angry would you..."
" After all, you haven't fathered your granddaughter's parents yet in this timeline, so why would you feel something for 'someone' who is even not born in the Current Timeline? " she asks such a question which made Ragna angrier as he tries to release himself by unleashing the 'Aether' in his body.
" You bastard!!! I'll kill you for that!!! " Ragna immediately bursts out the Aether which quickly destroys the chains as he proceeds to attack Aphrodite while equipping Dainsleif.
" Oh my, it seems you are that emotional after all, is it because you now know what happens back from the 12th Timeline from this old-man past timeline self of yours, hmmm. " Aphrodite says while unleashing more chains that existed in her subspace while Ragna slashes and destroys the chains with the Aether increasing his physical status and giving him another skill.
< Skill: Aether Attack [Wave] (Active) -- LVL.1 >
< This skill makes the Player unleash many critical strikes to give critical damage to an opponent. >
Using the sword, Ragna then proceeds to try attacking Aphrodite who is now near him while also thinking about saving Twelve, but since this is her realm.
" You fool!!! " the divine god says, summoning more chains into the Subspace as the chains quickly captured Ragna again and shock him with more lightning with more volts.
< 10.000 Torture Volts >
" GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ragna screams in pain for the lightning wounded him so badly even the Aether and Dainsleif couldn't help him to at least minimize the effect.
" Oooh how dull, it seems you are really that Ungifted after all. " the Diviner says while making Ragna approach her.
" Even while using the 'Aether' you still can't even scratch me, what a shame? "
" Guess our Divine Predictions was right for mortals that still had many years away to even match the weakest of us. " Aphrodite explains while Ragna who now deactivates the 'Aether' after receiving a lot of pain then stands down and asks.
" You ..., you just come here into our heads and extract all of it just to mock us? "
" Just what are your motives anyways, making us enter this very Subspace of yours? " Ragna asks the goddess then tells Ragna her desire for she wants him to do the mission that she gave to the System but first.
" Before you go doing your quest, I want to talk to you about something ... with you. "
" With both of you actually, since you both are technically the same person anyway... "
" Even though you belong from different Timelines. "the Diviner says as she then explains her reasons.
