"( I felt so numb..., I can't move... )"
"( Did I die? )" Raiden says as he slowly feels his body again.
"( No... )" I still can hear my thoughts and feel my body again.
"( I see, so I have been cut. ) " he says as he then slowly closes his eyes.
.....
A dream...
No, is this some kind of memory...
But, this isn't mine, why the hell do I feel like I've experienced this before...
....
" Raiden... "
" Yes, dear... " Raiden says as he holds the woman's hand.
...
Wait, wait, wait for a minute...
" Am I hallucinating? " Raiden says as he sees himself in that memories or whatever, wearing a different attire in a place he never thought he would go before.
" This is the Maldives, how? huh! " Raiden was shocked to see the woman he was within the memory.
" Inquisitor Kara! " Raiden was shocked to see the enemy was somehow with him in one place, all lovey-dovey without any hatred.
As Raiden sees himself with Kara, he then observes the very experience that he swears never experience before in this life, but still, the memories that suddenly came by somehow affect him as if this memory was real as if he did things like this in a life that he never remember before.
" How can this be? "
" How can I love an Inquisitor in whatever time this is? "
" And on top of this nonsense. "
" How can I able to go to the Maldives? A Sin Marked person like me? "Raiden says as he knows those with a Sin Mark can not even dream of walking around the streets of Trinia Country, nor even go out from Trinia to other countries at risk of being apprehended by an Inquisitor.
As he sees the memories, he questions at what time the memory happens and during his wondering he can hear a voice as light comes into his sight, waking him up from his dream.
" *GASP* " Raiden was shocked as he sees Inquisitor Kara beside him, healing him with Aphrodite's Divine Power as she heals his body while also, purifying him from his Sin Core which shocks him.
" No, don't do it, you blasted... Inquisitor...! "
" Don't ... touch my... Sin... Core... "
" I... already spent... many years... developing it... "
" Turning the Sin Mark... into it... "
" Obtaining power that... I never obtained... in the past... " Raiden says to her but Kara still heals him for whatever reason.
"( Goddess, can you please help me pluck his sliced body parts with your Divine Power? )" Kara asks Aphrodite inside her as she accepts.
"{ ( If it that's your desire... ) }" Aphrodite says as she knows why Kara decide to save her attacker whom she should've killed in the battle for they had no attachments, but somehow she restrained after having her deep slumber, delving into the 'memories' she had suddenly been given after the battle.
" Raiden, was it? " she asks while looking at him.
" I want to ask you something. " Kara says while healing Raiden completely.
Seeing this Raiden was confused as he sees such an act from an Inquisitor that by tradition should've ended his life at first glance, but...
But why?
" Why did you do it? "
" Why did you have to use your Divine Power so much to re-attach my sliced body parts? " he asks while recounting what she should've done to him based on Trinia Country and the gods' rules.
" You're an Inquisitor, aren't you? "
"Your main task is to investigate and incinerate every trace of ungodly things inside this country, is it not? "
" From humans to demons, if it's out of the Divine Standards the gods upheld then you were dutied to immediately destroy it! " Raiden says as he can feel his re-attached bodies.
" So why? " Raiden asks Kara, wondering.
When he asks her back, Kara then shed tears and tells him.
" Because of my memories... " she says.
" I don't know why but... "
" After the collision of your Deviant and my Divine Power, my mind was immediately struck with memories I have never remembered before. "
" Memories that always shown me with you, a person I've just encountered, the person whose task is to attack me. " Kara says as she then tells what she sees from it, shocking Raiden as the memories she spoke of are 100% accurate based on what he has seen.
"( Wha..., how? ) " Raiden asks himself as Kara then uses her Divine Power to get rid of the Sin Core immediately from Raiden's body, separating him from his Deviant Power using Aphrodite's Divine Thunder.
"{ ( We did it, dear Kara, thank goodness he only was given 12% of the Deviant Power. ) }"
"{ ( If the percentage of power given into his Sin Core were higher, I doubt my Divine Powers could save him for I know that whoever Gifted this power to him is stronger than my own Level. ) }" Aphrodite says.
"( That's already enough, thank you, goddess... )" Kara says as she then gives Raiden her final healing which made Raiden gasp as he still wondered about the accuracy of what she said to him earlier.
" Those dreams, how could it be that accurate, for both you and I? "
" Logically, a person should've had different experiences in one moment, but... " Raiden still wonders as he rethinks seven times about it as his human mind and knowledge don't help him at all.
" This doesn't make sense, how...? "
" Because it did happen, both of us did go to 'that place' together. " Kara says.
" After we were both shocked by each other's powerful Thunder, it triggers something that we forget due to some,... 'Universal Circumstances'. "
" A memory of our experience together, from a time before that we should not remember in this current time. " Kara says as she then sees Aphrodite whose soul manifested physically behind her, as she appears, she nods at Kara, giving her the very permission for telling Raiden what she and he just experienced earlier.
" Raiden, we just experienced our past memories from our past lives. "
" Our past lives from the past timelines. " Kara says which made Raiden shocked to hear such revelation just given itself in front of him out of nowhere.
" Past lives? Past timelines? "
" What do you mean? Raiden says while he suddenly unlocks another memory.
