Chapter 9 - Changes after A Hundred Thousand Years

As she got slammed into the ground, her back made a cracking sound. She had clearly broken her spine and couldn't move, but the other students, whom I was not paying attention to, rushed at me and tried grabbing me. As I felt the first one grab me, I moved my hand, holding his throat and throwing him directly at the other students who were also trying to stop me. That would hold them off for enough time due to the force I had used to throw him. Looking back, I saw that she had tried getting up. A smile grew on my face; my old tendencies had begun to show up again. Grabbing her head, I slam it down again and again. And again, for a few hours, I stopped looking at her face, which was bleeding; her skull was definitely cracked, and her brain may have been damaged a little. Though I doubt she even had one, funny enough, she could still speak.

"P-Please stop... I-I apologi-"

Before she could finish, I grabbed her mouth, stopping her from speaking. Using magic once more, a magic circle appeared in the front of her mouth, making it so her mouth could not move at all. It was closed, frozen in time. The look of horror on her face made me giggle a little.

"I haven't had this much fun in a long time."

I looked directly at her, giving her a stare that could only mean she was going to die. I stood up and created a sword, putting it against the girl's head before cutting it off. I looked at the other students who saw this, trying to stop me. I didn't want to waste any more time, so I stopped time once more without saying it; it was just another fancy way to use it, but it could get disastrous for me. In that instant, I felt pain; I had used too much Mana, along with my legs getting cramps, probably from moving around too much; I forgot how many problems this body had since I grew up. I had to have my kidney replaced with my cousins since they were kind enough to do so. My legs were frail since I never exercised that much and just rested.

"I need to start exercising more, don't I, before I begin my journey to get rid of some obnoxious things that would bother practically anyone."

I could note that this world at least had some diversity, seeing as one who was about to rush at me was half-blind, while others had wrinkles, some even looked more Asian like where I was from, some even darker skin, and even one with albinism. I see this in only a few types of stories. I briefly sat down to recover my Mana before continuing since time had frozen. Using the Law/Nature of Creation, I'd make water and pizza and eat it to regain energy.

[2 Hours later]

My body no longer has many cramps, but I still have to start with the basics and stretch. My arms and legs, and then I went to stretch my back and pop the bubbles that show up in between my bones. Seeing my Mana recovered a little and was about 1/4th complete, I looked at the students rushing at me and began cutting their arms off. Due to my strength stats, I could do so easily without my body reacting strongly and causing much pain. I resumed time, seeing them fall to the floor, bleeding out and screaming; I moved the sword and stabbed right through their skull, crushing it and going through their brain; I repeated this process with the other ones, leaving only one of them behind being a more perfect like woman. She seemed like the Main character type, from her strength to her mentality of trying to get away. What a pity she would've died if I didn't require Information. With a snap of my fingers, her limbs had healed back, but instead of letting her get away quickly, I grabbed onto the back of her neck, holding her in place, I lifted her up without using much force, so I didn't crush her throat.

"W-Why do you need me? Don't tell me you'll do something worse, right...?"

I chuckled a little as she asked this, giving her the desired answer.

"No, I won't. I need some information from you about returning to my home planet, our home planet."

She looked at me with relief, only to be somewhat confused by my statement that they were both of our home planets. After all, I was stationed on this planet when she first saw me. I sat, squatted down, and put her on the floor. I began staring at her.

"Tell me, why have you come here simply to enslave this species?"

She didn't give any answer and looked extremely scared. As I continued waiting, I noticed the citizens were leaving their homes because they heard screams of humans who were not of their race. I sighed and hit her head as she didn't answer.

"W-We were ordered to do so; I-I'm just an S-Student. Please don't Kill me."

Seeing as she was begging this much, why not? I can even get some help from her.

"Sure, I'll let you live; just tell me where you came from and give me more information about what's happened for a hundred thousand years."

"I-I can't really do that. I don't have that good of a memory, but I can take you to a Planet that holds all knowledge humans have gathered."

She calmed down a little. I lifted her by her neck and then pointed outwards to ask which direction we had to go.

"U-Uh, I don't know which- Nevermind, Go towards that star."

She pointed towards a star that was approximately 23,000 Light years away. Of Course, I can't calculate all of it since I'm not some omniscient beast who already knows it. Just in case, I made a barrier around the girl I was holding to let her have oxygen as I began spinning around the planet faster and faster; while I was doing this, I looked at my stats and saw that I had extra unallocated points being 20, so about 4 levels worth of them, I allocated 10 of them towards my speed so it would be easier and I had reached the level of light speed now. And the other 10 of them to Perception. I had also enhanced my Mana to double my speed, using the magic of light as another form of traveling at light speed to increase my speed, so in turn, I was traveling about 4 times the speed of light, but not just that, I was traveling what 4 light years in a second was, that'd take about 95 minutes to get there so I'll just increase my speed. So I had made it so my speed rose exponentially, so instead of it staying at 4 light years, it had grown to 16 light years a second and then to 256 light-years per second, which then increased even more, but before it could go the total distance, I stopped myself right where the star was at.

"Where too now?"

She was highly dizzy from how fast I had traveled around the planet and to this star, so I had to wait a few minutes. Once she woke up, I asked the question again, which she had pointed out. I flew over there, reaching it in a few seconds and landing directly on top. Gently so it doesn't get destroyed.

"U-Uh, Since we're here, can you let me go?"

"No, I still need your help with many other things besides this. And also, what's your name?"

She looked Asian, so I half expected a Chinese or Japanese Name.

"U-Uhh... M-My name is S-Shiro, what about yours...?"

"Just call me Lilith, don't worry about anything else."

I looked around before using mana detection to scan the area; while they were advanced, they still used books as a way for others to learn without hurting their eyes using technology. Once I had reached a large enough area, I manipulated the Information the books had, which was also made of Mana; because of this test, I began to think that maybe Everything in the world is made of Mana, not just this world but every world that exists. The Information I gathered had all flooded my brain, but seeing as the assistant I had helped me absorb it slowly, it'd take a few minutes to do so. I then look back at Shiro and begin by asking her something.

"Say you're cultivating. May I know the reason why you're doing this?"

"U-Uh, I'm doing it to feed my family since my parents aren't there to care for me and my sister. I also do it because it seemed fun."

A generic answer I hear but still heartwarming to some; I'll let her live. I lifted Shiro up again but now wrapped my hand around her waist and asked.

"Where is your home planet, or where your sister lives at least?"

"Uhm, it's a planet called Eart-"

As I began hearing it, I used my magic to teleport directly inside a house, not just any home but an apartment complex with a penthouse in what seemed to be Japan.

"So, how close do you think we are to your home."

"U-Uh, I can just get my sister. Is that alright?"

"Sure, go ahead; I'll be waiting and also go to the school you study at."

Shiro left the apartment complex and jumped down the building; she was gonna survive, considering she could survive the spaceship crash from before.

[Anastasia asks if her Master requires any help.]

"Hmmm? Oh, don't worry about it; what I want to know most is how this world and mana work."

[Anastasia answers this question, "Mana is the derivative of all beings being created by the Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life. These trees are the first things, except for the gods, Adam, Eve, and Lilith."]

Now, this brings me back...

I began walking around the Garden looking around; I couldn't see anything other than animals and trees or plants, I continued exploring the place, but I didn't go past any boundaries; I had looped around the Garden once or twice; I felt somewhat drawn towards the Tree of Knowledge, and soon enough I had seen a snake, or what seemed to be a snake or lizard, it had begun speaking even though it should not have been able to.

"Hello, Eve. I am here to propose an offer to you: You can eat this fruit and gain knowledge akin to a god's."

What a stupid offer. Why would the snake not do it if I could become a god from this?

"Those were good times till I get another bad memory related to that, which will probably be soon enough."

["Mana, on the other hand, is not limited at all, as one's beliefs stop them or make them continue to grow. Another thing is that Mana is built upon what your world had called Mathematics, while other worlds call it Astroma. This one is called Usoranutri. Mathematics is the building blocks of Everything, including life, atoms, and many other things; it exists in every world, no matter how high or low it may go. Everything is encompassed by mathematics and is a necessity for using magic."]

This could become useful later; I could even defy some things that are considered valid, though I'd avoid doing that right now. On another note, I have to ask another question to see if this is made of mathematics.

"If Everything relies on mathematics, does that not prove the existence of Infinites, Alephs, and even the Set Theory?"

["Indeed, things like Sets of Infinites, which are exactly the same as Alephs, and the supposed Set Theory, as you call it, exist, though it does not have a name; you can call it whatever you like.]
