Chereads / Heavenly Equinox / Chapter 24 - Ganymede and Europa

Chapter 24 - Ganymede and Europa

Ughhh... Oh my... Fucking... My memory came back from when I first came to this world or well before it. Jesus fuck, who did this? Why am I even asking. It was probably Light that did that.

[Realities True Emperor Laughs at you]

When I looked over at [Titan] and [Titania], I looked confused; [Titania] was the moon of [Uranus], right? Well, they did say Titania was adopted, so I can see why she is the child of [Saturn].

"Well, hello, my new family~."

I gave a cheeky smile as I got up, looking at them as they realized what I meant and-

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?"

"OW OW, Calm down too loud! I got adopted by [Saturn] after a little persuading, plus your mom's beautiful!"

They look at me and sigh as I chuckle, but before I can walk away, I feel Qi hitting my head and then landing on the ground, making a metallic sound. I turn towards it as they speak.

"So you're hanging out with the children of [Saturn], huh? I didn't think you could get that low if you came here to keep us in check!"

"Maybe I'm with her children because I AM ONE OF THEM DIPSHIT, OR MAYBE I'M REPRIMANDING THEM AS WELL."

They were startled by my sudden shouting. I walked over to them and hit their heads in annoyance. And when I said they, I obviously meant [Ganymede] and [Europa]. It was apparent, no? Can you not read the chapter Title?

"I don't want to deal with you two right now as I'm having fun, so leave, or I'm gonna destroy your Core."

They looked at me nervously but were still somewhat arrogant, thinking I couldn't hurt them.

"Well, since you are so confident, why don't you fight both of us one-on-one?"

"Sure, go ahead, schedule one for whenever. It's not right now when I'm bonding with my family."

"Sure, let's battle tomorrow. You gonna regret it anyway!"

They laughed and walked away. I simply turned to [Titan] and [Titania] and waved at them as I walked past them.

"Come on, you just gonna stand there and look at nothing?"

They shook their heads and followed me, still surprised at how I acted towards [Ganymede] and [Europa]. The reaction was expected, but then again, just because someone was older didn't mean you had to respect them; it depended on what they did to earn respect and whether they maintained the reasoning to give it.

"So what now? Train our Techniques? I only have one I can use, so I still need to learn much more to get stronger to fight [Ganymede] and [Europa]."

"I mean, we can teach you the Techniques which [Saturn] taught us since you are one of her children now." 

"Can you demonstrate for me? That'd be all I need to learn them, though I'd like to learn the rest myself."

"I guess I can teach you [Kronos Saltation] and [Heavenly Ring Formation], which are the basics of what we learn, though we haven't mastered [Kronos Saltation] yet because of how hard it is to learn."

"I assume it has [Temporal] Attacks? Or is that name just for fancy?"

"You could guess? I didn't expect someone to be able to do that, but this Technique sends someone to the end of time itself, which will automatically kill them. Unless, of course, they're in a major realm above us; we can only do it against those who are above us in minor realms, and for lower, it just causes them to disintegrate, which is why I'm giving it to you, so you can't just be framed by them for something."

"Then, No, I already have something of my own that I can use in substitution."

"I guess I can teach you Tezurai, A technique which hones your Scythe-Wielding skills and allows energy slashes and attacks from it, though Titania hasn't learned it yet."

"Yeah, but that's only the first and second forms. The third and above require understanding the [Sets of Infinities] it encompasses. But it also requires more than just something we can't understand and that we'll learn from being here, though we haven't reached year four yet."

The more I heard about mathematics, the more annoying it was to hear them speak. Studying it was tedious, so I didn't want to be bored because I'd probably stop cultivating when I needed to change this world. I could've easily increased my cultivation for some, but it felt wrong. Sure, I could reach one of the highest realms with relative ease, but something like that would be cheating, even if it was like skipping five grades and being 12 in a 12th-grade class. Stuff would get way too advanced, and I would need to grasp the lower realms, too, considering they have a lot of things that I would need to master for the higher realm.

"Well, we're in the arena so we can learn; wanna get started?"

I realized we had already reached the Arena; I lost track of time and got here.

"Well, what do you wanna do first? It can either be the Tezurai or [Heavenly Ring Formation]."

"Go with what will be best to start with; I'll get over with the basics and then train."

"Alright, if you say so, I'll go with [Heavenly Ring Formation]. Since it is a lot easier to learn, I was able to master it a lot faster than Tezurai when I started off with learning Tezurai."

[Titan] spoke to me with a smile as he began his demonstration. I don't want the people watching me to know how I learned this, so I'll skip past this.

[Embodiment of All - Abscense of the Ethereal]

"Jeez, you learn fast; from the looks of it, you might be a one-in-a-million prodigy."

"Well, no, I usually learn things faster when I'm interested in it, or I get more stressed."

"Stressed? Was I being too hard on you?"

"No, I meant the good stress. You know when you feel happy or excited?"

"Oh! I didn't pay much attention in class when it came to that, so I slept through it."

I would sigh but also chuckle. I didn't like to listen to the teacher, so I slept in a way the teacher wouldn't think I was. But studying here was a lot more fun, so I had no reason to stay asleep, considering they discussed topics I liked.

Walking back from the Arena into the School, I would go to my room while the others went to theirs. I saw that the person I had seen before wasn't the same, but everything I put in this room was still there. As I was about to get in bed, I heard their voice.

"A [Earthling]?"

"What? Yeah, I'm from Earth, but what does that have to... Do... With me... Oh, what the hell are you doing here."

"Yeah, uhh, Sagi threw me in here along with the others, and now our moons have changed in personality or well acted as if they were already from this world; I mean, we've been here for a long time now; it's almost been ten thousand years."

"Yeah, Uhhh, Sagi might have messed up with me because I was sent ten thousand years into the past, and now I'm here."

"What- Oh wait, never mind, I forgot they could control time since they're a black hole."

"they're? Do they not have a gender... Well, okay, that's a concept made by humans. It wouldn't fit if beings that existed before humans followed human concepts."

I looked back at Earth. When I thought about it, I didn't know what to call them... I'll go with their mythological names.

"Uhhh, Since you're well, Earth, should I call you that, or should I call you Gaia? At least, that is the only one I remember when I researched mythology."

'Yeah, you can call me whatever I like to go by earth, but you can also call me Gaia or Theia."

"Alright. Nice to meet you, Gaia, Names K-"

"Yeah, I already know, Kaida; nice to meet you too."

I would smile at her as she sat down, seemingly falling asleep. As she did, I would look at her head, seeing the many destroyed satellites and also the ISS. As I looked there, someone else would walk in, and I heard the voice of a young boy.

"What are you doing with my mom?"

Looking over at them, I saw their grey hair covered in what seemed to be white lines as if they were coming from a singular point, like craters going off. Seeing Gaia, I already knew who this was.

"I'm just getting rid of the satellites near her head, Luna; you don't need to worry; after all, I am an earthling of hers."

As I finished my statement, he would rush towards me and try jumping on me; I'd move away fast enough for him to land on the bed as I looked at them, chuckling.

"For Being the most used in most forms of love, you are quite aggressive."

I would look at him as he turned annoyed and sat near Gaia, still sleeping, looking like she hadn't in days.

"I'll just take away the Satellites, don't worry!"

As I put my hand near Gaia's head, I would see Luna staring intently to make sure I did nothing harmful, but slowly, I would take the pieces of satellites that weren't being used and throw them away into the trash. Looking over at Luna, I spoke.

"Is it okay if I go back to Japan on Earth? I was born on her head, so I should be allowed to, right?"

"Yeah, sure, go ahead."

"Well, On Second thought, Maybe Later; I must ask her permission first since it's her body."

Luna looked confused about why I asked him first. What's the use of asking someone else if you will also ask the person?

"Then-"

"Just so you don't worry and know I won't do anything bad; after all, she's my home planet; I'm just hoping that people remove the damages they caused."

Luna looked at me, his expression darkened.

"Yeah, I-I still don't know why they're destroying their home planet... She gave them everything, and even now, she still cares for them... Even after knowing what they do to her."

I looked at Luna, Patting his head as he began crying softly, still wondering why humans were destroying themselves along with the Earth, though, of course, things changed with one problem being solved. Another one also needed to be solved, but because magic was gained worldwide, some bad actors would also gain magic. As such, they caused more chaos. Of course, they weren't that powerful, but the ones that were, instead of causing disorder, simply controlled the world. I knew of this because Luna talked more and more about what was going on Earth as wars stopped and crime rates lowered. Still, the higher-ups were doing whatever they wished, ruining the environment more and actively against improving it.

"Tell ya what, I'll get stronger first and then go into Earth- That sounds awfully wrong. Returning to Japan and starting with that would cause them the worst problems. Though I won't need to worry about North Korea, considering you already told me that Japan took down the leaders very easily."

"Then what is after that?"

"Uh, I'll leave again and stay here; I hate living among people like that, considering it sucked even before I got magic and stuff."

"...I just don't get why.... Just why..."

Luna covered his eyes while crying, I couldn't say anything. After all, I was a human who lived on Earth, and I couldn't do anything there, so how could I console them? So instead of forcing myself to say something, I sat down next to Luna and let him lie down on my lap or, more, made him do so; I made sure I didn't crush his surface and create a crater that looked like a palm that itself would be too chaotic for humans.
