Chapter 40 - Chapter 40-Apocalypse [F.D.2] (9)

[Location: Abstralis, Capital City of Ideapolis, Elysium Castle]

[??:?? ??, ????, 2831, CE]

"Welcome to the Elysium Castle. Do you want coffee, tea, or something?" Elysium asked Roland if he wanted either coffee or tea for him to drink, as both packets of coffee and tea appeared in front of her, showing them to Roland.

"Just normal water" Roland said as he sat on the sofa. Hearing what Roland just said, Elysium made the packets of coffee and tea disappear, made a glass of water appear with a jar of water on the side, and put it on the table, as she also sat down on the sofa opposite to Roland's sofa.

"So, what do you need to talk about with me, Sir Roland? Is there something important that even the Council needed to make a move in our territory?" Elysium asked Roland if he was here because the council wanted something from them, which they actually have, but no one can control it other than the past life of Mobius, who created it, that the council had ever wanted since its creation, but it seems Roland is not for that, and he did not even know they had such a precious artifact that even the council wanted.

"No, I'm from the Secret Society, well, although still part of the Council, just an opposition of the Higher Echelon" Roland said to Elysium, stating that he belonged to the Secret Society, which is a subsidiary of the Council, and they are in opposition to most higher echelons of the Council, which surprised Elysium.

"Eh? Then what are the 10 councils doing? Letting a subsidiary even exist" Elysium asked, knowing that the Council would only exist as one organization, not letting any subsidiary exist or any matter of conflict happen in their society. After all, the Council is very strict in its rules.

"Well, a lot of the Higher Echelon tried imitating the 'Thing' I believe you already know what I meant about 'Thing' it was to be used as a weapon for the future where if the Original 'Thing' appears again out of it's garden then we can use it and we are opposed as we believed what they are doing is just making the original 'Thing' appear out of it's garden more early, Because we believe in a theory that if one of the 'Thing' were to exist in that place except of it's garden more will follow and that's the worse case scenario" Roland said as he talked about the Goals of Higher Echelon and the belief of Secret Society where the Higher Echelon uses the fake as a weapon to make sure does thing return to the garden and the Secret Society belief that what the Higher Echelon doing is just attracting the original to the fake, Hearing this surprised Elysium as she understood what he meant but what he don't understand is why he is calling it 'Thing'.

"Although I know what you just said is true, but why call the 'Eternal Flower' a 'Thing'? Is the information about the 'Eternal Flower' becoming more sensitive these days? Or is it the name? I know its name is very important, but do you really need to hide it?" Elysium asked as to why Roland even needed to hide that she believes in common knowledge. She had lived for so long that she did not know that knowledge about the name of the 'Eternal Flower' was already forbidden. Ever since the last 'Eternal Flower' appearance, it destroyed 28% of the entire existence before it was forcefully returned to the Eternal Garden.

"I'm sorry about it, but the 'Thing' is already a forbidden word for us due to its effect, which triggers those who hear it to relive their trauma. That's why, unless all people who had the trauma of the 'Thing' had all died, we couldn't use that word" Roland said, explaining the situation of most Essence users who had this trauma. Although only the weaker one was affected by the trauma the most, it still had an effect on the stronger Essence users.

"What trauma? I don't believe that the 'Thing' causes trauma. What about its melodies? Did it change or something?" Elysium asked Roland, as she does not believe that the Eternal Flower causes trauma at all. Even though she had heard the melodies of the Eternal Flower, with its effect still ongoing, hearing the melodies over and over again did not give her any trauma at all.

"No, the melodies do not change, nor does it seem the reason why most of existence is gaining this trauma yet few are not affected by it, but all we know is that it just affects all, maybe except your kind that is protected due to the Veil of Consciousness surrounding your own reality" Roland said as to the reason why their kind is not affected due to the Veil of Consciousness protecting their own reality.

"Can I ask something?" Elysium asked as she looked at Roland's eyes seriously, as she seemed to know the reason why no one had ever heard the name of Eternal Flower for so long nor heard its name for so long. As they have been given information about this scenario, if it were to happen, they must return the artifact that their creator had given them to their reincarnation of their creator. Roland, noticing the serious look of Elysium, drank the water from the table, looked at Elysium, and said.

"Of course, tell me about it" Roland said as he sat straight on the sofa, looking into the green eyes of Elysium, waiting for her question.

"When the trauma started, did you hear a sad sobbing that could be heard in all existence that even all of us cried and only Essence Users, Eldritch Beings, and The Consciousness only remembered that even themselves cried as well? "Elysium asked for confirmation, as this was the scenario that their creator said would happen.

"You even know about this, but yes, all of existence cried. All of us cried for something we didn't know, but we just cried for something precious. It's like the happiness and sadness of the birth of a child, like a celebration of the next cycle, and it started 6 years ago on that very day that all existence cried, only to be forgotten by all except Essence Users, Eldritch Beings, and The Consciousness, and only we remembered it, despite the fact that when all of us are gathered to explain what's the reason why we cried, we still do not know a thing at all, maybe except for The Consciousness and the top of Eldritch Being, like the firstborn, they are always quite about this type of occurrence" Roland said, explaining the situation of what happened that maybe The Consciousness knows about this. Hearing this, Elysium was surprised and stood up from her sofa and disappeared somewhere, and Roland also followed her to where Elysium was going.
