Chapter 7 - The World is Changing

With a determined face, I answered Adam

"I will take the deal then. Even though I don't have any attachment to my life from before, the way I died is still pretty baffling. This time, I will do my best to make sure what happened before won't be repeated."

Floating, even more, closer to me Adam says

"All right then, since you agreed to me, you can go ahead and meet God for now. By the way, cherish this chance of meeting God. Not many will have the chance to meet God directly among humans so you have to cherish it okay?"

As he say that he swing one of his tentacles and a door opened in front of me.

"Go on and don't forget to ask for an extra perk for going back to life again."

"Okay, it was nice to meet you, Adam."

When I walk through the door it feels like I was walking through a thin membrane. It's like there was an invisible something with rubber-like property and as I push through, I can feel that I'm starting to go through the membrane. The moment that my feet stepped on solid ground was the moment that the membrane-like thing disappeared.

"Welcome to my place, mortal. I will only fix that magic trace in your soul and then you can go back to Adam and finish your business. You aren't supposed to be here or face me."

That voice comes from a child with an androgynous face and the voice is not too high or too low. When I was about to speak, the child suddenly swings 'his' arm. After the swing, a black, haze-like substance flowed out from inside me.

"Hmm soul tracking huh, although it's possible, the chances are just too low. But considering even an akashic record can be stolen, even once proves that there is no absolute in this world huh?"

The child says while he kept on muttering something.

"All right then, since I already fixed your magic traces I think I will just send you back to Adam."

When I heard that, I was about to open my mouth to talk about the extra perk that Adam talked about before.

"Ah right, I know that Adam already tells you about the extra perk here, I will just give you this and your body from back then. I'm sure these things will be useful to you."

He says as he throws two light beams toward me. When the light faded one of them turned into a ring and the other just go straight to my head.

"Other than your old body, I also gave you a bit of general knowledge about magic. The world you are going back to is a world of magic now after all."

When I hear the last of his sentence, everything started to turn into a blur and I suddenly find myself back in the dark world with Adam in front of me.

As the audience with God happened, something else happened to Alice on earth.

"What happened? The soul trace I put on him disappeared? But he is already dead. In the first place, the only reason I put that soul trace was so I can find him when I die. So there should be no problem even if the being who took care of the afterworld noticed it."

As Alice keep on mumbling, another thing happened.

*whoosh

The wind blows through under the bed inside Alice's bedroom. When Alice realized what happened, she was furious.

"What the f*ck! Who dares take away my father from me?!"

That's right, under Alice's bed there was the corpse of her father already preserved.

Back in God's palace.

"God, there's something wrong with this woman called Alice. When I retrieved that person's body she can detect me. It's impossible! I even used aether when I take that body. Not only is she messed up in the head, she even has power that was not supposed to be available considering the world's current mana level. "

A girl with twelve pairs of wings asked a child in this magnificent white palace.

"It's fine after all that kind of power will be more common starting from now."

By the time the words 'for now' come out of God's mouth something happened on earth.

A month already passes after the incident which Alice was enraged and it was already 8 months after her father's death. Her stomach now is already so big, it can be seen that she is pregnant.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking. The whole world is having an earthquake. the ground split, the sky becomes dark as the sun suddenly disappears. Rolling black clouds can be seen in the sky as lightning keeps on flashing.

Inside the mansion, Alice used magic to speak to all of her children and the servants.

"Everyone gets into the mansion and goes straight to the dining room. All the servants need to bring as much provision as they can. All of you only have one minute."

Alice waited in the dining room for one minute. After one minute everyone that lives in this mansion is already gathered in the dining room. As she looked around she says

"All right, since everyone is already here, I have a big announcement to make. As you can see, this world is changing. All of you can already feel it right? The abundance of that magic power in the atmosphere. I hope that everyone here will work together to make an attributeless physical barrier. To make sure that this room is okay. I can feel that a big change is happening and it doesn't look like this change will happen only for a short moment. So to be safe I hope we can make this barrier last as long as possible."

The incident happened for a whole month, everything in this world is changing. All the continents started to move and merged. The sun turns white and inside the sun there are four smaller suns. There is more than one moon. The total number of moons floating in the night sky is seven.

If the satellite of mankind still works, they would be surprised to find that earth is more than six times bigger than before. Even the merged supercontinent is 2 times larger than it was supposed to be. Not only was the supercontinent 2 times larger, but there are also 5 more supercontinents just as big as the merged earth's supercontinent.
