"Got you!" Both Nepheria and Crown shouted as their swords slashed down towards Eve.
"Too slow!" Eve said as she suddenly disappeared from her position and appeared behind both Nepheria and Crown as she instantly raised her hands as she chopped off the limbs of Nepheria and Eve in a single slash of her hand, as blood splattered in the ground and the vegetation around them.
As Eve looked at their decapitated and limbless bodies, the surroundings suddenly turned white, and countless cracks could be seen in the endless white walls. With a single flick from Eve, the white walls suddenly shattered like glass as they showed vegetation outside of Nepheria and Crowns House.
"You two needed to mind your footsteps throughout space, as they are very noticeable as long as you just listen carefully and don't shout when you think of ambushing me" Eve said as she looked at the bodies of Nepheria and Crown. They instantly recovered like nothing happened as they both stood up from the ground and patted their patted as their bodies wobbled a bit due to metal fatigue, and Eve noticed this and sighed.
"Use the essence to erase your mental fatigue. Have you forgotten how versatile essence is?" Eve said as both Nepheria and Crown looked at him weirdly, as they had already used it, but they seemed unable to restore the mental fatigue that they were currently feeling.
"Help us at this. No matter how much we try, we can't erase it" Nepheria said.
"That's right, help us!" Crown said as she raised her hands like a kid, protesting.
"Sigh, come here," Eve said as both Nepheria and Crown got closer to her. Eve touched both Nepheria and Crown heads and noticed something; it was essence, not her, nor was it Nepheria and Crown's essence, but she knew this essence was her own daughter, who is supposed to be in the Rivers of Samsara and should have been deeply asleep. Her interference despite being asleep is weird, as she does not take any movement every time she dies. She just patiently waits or forcefully rebirths herself, so whatever she is doing is a new occurrence.
"I can't help you with it, you need to recover normally this time" Eve said, as she really couldn't heal them as her daughter even put a defensive mechanism in the essence that she had left in their heads.
"What do you mean by that?" Crown asked as this is quite rare even in their countless past lives. She has done this only a few times, such as when she is angry or very serious about a certain matter, and Crown is very sure that Eve is not angry, so it must have been a very serious matter.
"Whats wrong?" Nepheria asked, as she had taught the same as Crown. She understood that throughout countless past lives, Eve would always put them in very harsh training, so that's why restoring their mental fatigue is what Eve would always do to them, but this time she did not heal them despite having the intention of healing them, so there might be something that is bothering her, and that's the reason why she didn't heal their mental fatigue.
"It's just the essence inside you" Eve said as she pointed at their heads, touching the essence inside their heads that both Nepheria and Crown could not feel.
Hearing this, both Nepheria and Crown used their essence to look inside their heads but didn't notice any problems or essence in their heads at all. Everything is normal, if that's what they want to believe, if not for the mental fatigue they are feeling, as they even searched even deeper and scanned everything from the smallest subatomic particle.
"I don't feel any problems in me other than mental fatigue" Crown said as she looked at her face through the glasses that she had created through her essence, as her face still looked the same, other than the fact that she looked tired because of the training that she had just done with Nepheria. Eve, hearing this, just shrugged it off and left the area to go back to their home.
"Hey, wait, you have not told us the reason why we cannot heal ourselves from this mental fatigue" Nepheria said as she tried to catch up to Eve. As she was about to touch Eve's shoulder, she suddenly passed through Eve's body like she was a ghost, surprising Nepheria a bit, but she suddenly calmed down and looked at Eve behind her.
"Find it out yourselves. You have met her before in your countless past lives, and in the first place, I can't say too much. As long as everything I say is in line, then everything should be okay" Eve said as she passed through Nepheria's body again and sank down to the ground as if she had just fallen from the air.
"Well, these should be bothersome. Can I have a little help, Nepheria? I think I can hardly handle standing anymore from this mental fatigue training for a total of 10 trillion googolplex years. This is not normal" Crown said as her legs shook as if she were about to fall down. As her legs were about to give up, Nepheria suddenly caught her.
"Thanks, Nepheria" Crown said as Nepheria held her up so she could stand. Crown tried her best to stand up and position herself so she would be lighter for Nepheria.
"No worries, it's just that it seems I can't also hold on any longer" Nepheria said as her legs trembled, trying her best to stand from the immense pressure of the mental fatigue they are currently experiencing as they both fell down.
"Woahh!" Nepheria and Crown shouted as they both fell down. As they looked at each other, there seemed to be something they remembered. It was a little child that would always follow Eve in the past. She would always fall down, but she would always hastily stand up and always act tough whenever she could, acting like an adult despite having not recovered her memories of her past life. Remembering this type of memory made Nepheria and Crown laugh.
"Hahahahaha!" Nepheria and Crown laugh so hard as their laughter echoes in the forest as they both slowly fall asleep by each other's sides.
"Hmm? Why are they taking so long? Ahh, that's right, they actually fell asleep in the forest at this time. Oh, well, they can take care of themselves" Eve said as she sat at the top of the rooftop and looked at the falling sun.
