Chapter 92 - SUPREME ENCHANTMENT

Kojo walked alongside Yukio, their footsteps echoing through the quiet streets of the Capitol. The waning sunlight cast long shadows behind them as they walked in silence.

He had told Yukio how he had gotten to this world. He was involved in an experiment gone wrong and explained to the best of his ability though he hid certain details such as him being kidnapped as well as the person overseeing the experiment among other things. He told her that the building were the experiment was being conducted exploded and he was caught up in it.Yuki asked the name of the ones performing an experiment but Kojo said he didn't remember as his memories of the incident were fuzzy.

Yukio sensed that Kojo was hiding something from her but she decided not to pry. She thought that was a traumatic experience and decided to wait until Kojo was ready to tell her.

"Yukio, can I ask you something?" Kojo spoke up breaking the silence.

"What is it ?" Yuki responded.

"Your,erh, time stop ability... how does it work?" Kojo's eyes sparkled with intrigue.

(Finally, seems I can rely on you to use your brain after all.)

" That was uncalled for"

( That was very called for. You've been walking for clese to fifteen minutes without coming out with any useful output. Not that I blame you ,you don't say anything sensible on a normal day)

" Why have you targeted me. What'd I do?"

Yukio chuckled.

" Well you two seem to get along ,almost like a married couple."

"( Never)" Kojo and Sysia said together.Yuki just smiled.

" The ability I used back there is a class of magic abilities.It's called a Supreme Enchantment.Possesing one of these abilitiies enable the wielder to bend the universe's laws and rend existence itself."

Kojo's eyes widened. "And you're one of them?"

Yuki noddedwith a smile on her lips, putting on the air if supremacy as her hair swaying gently.

"Even among Transcendents,veryfew have a Supreme Enchantments, but I happen to have three."

. "Hmmm?Transcendent? What's that?" Kojo asked.

Yukio ignored the question, her gaze drifting toward the chapel.

(Based on the information gathered from the archive,there's a less than 1.01% probability of a person awakening a Supreme Enchantment. They're so rare a century can pass without anyone awakening or evolving such abilities nit even the celestial beings.)

" What's a celestial beings?"

( They are are Spiritual beings that operate in higher dimension or plane than this one. The first four races: the Dragonkin , Seraphs, Daemons and Fay are celestial beings)

" Then that means Saleem...?"

( Yes)

" And Eden to....?"

(Aha)

" Well damn. So what's a transcendent?" Kojo asked

(Transcendent Being possesses Cosmic Awareness, granting them an unparalleled understanding of the universe's intricate web of cause and effect. This awareness transcends human comprehension, allowing them to see the interconnectedness of all things. In layman's terms it's receiving Enlightenment.)

" So Cosmic Awareness huh? Waits,what did you mean by ' in lay mans term' are you calling me stupid?"

( I am actually,yes)

" You could at least try to hide it"

( It's not like you can do anything about it.Or?)

Kojo was silent for a moment as he wondered what he'd just learned

"You're casually dropping secrets, Yukio. Shouldn't this be, like, classified information?"he said turning to Yuki.

Yukio shrugged, her shoulders barely rising. "I feel I can trust you, Kojo."

Kojo raised an eyebrow. "That's not exactly a realistic way to make decisions. What if I'm secretly working against you?"

Yuki's smile turned mischievous. " It's not like you can do anything about it. After alI can kill you in my sleep."

" But yor not actually going to do it right?right?!" Kojo asked drawing neareree.

Yukio continued, "I mentioned Grace, one of my Supreme Enchantments. Want to know more?"

Kojo declined, "I'll see it eventually. No need to explain."

Yuki's expression turned slightly annoyed, her eyebrows furrowing.

( Ok then,just ignore the fact she has three Supreme Enchantments...)

" It's not that big if a deal."

( I knew you were slow. But I didn't think you were actually retarded. Did you hear a word she said. The ability "Rend existence itself" isn't a big deal)

" I'm not saying that all I'm saying is...."

Yuki ignores the argument between Kojo and Sysia.

"He's not reacting." She thought.

"Three Supreme Enchantments, and he's nonchalant... Does he not understand the implications...?"

Kojo noticed Yukio's annoyance. "What's up?"

Yukio ignored him, her gaze fixed on the chapel.

"Women are complicated..." Kojo thought.)

( Excuse me?)Sysia reacted to his thought but he ignored her.

Kojo pleaded, "Yuki, tell me. What's up?"

" The sky that's what's up." She replied.

" Huh?" Kojo looked up confused.

Yukio sighed, her shoulders sagging.

"I was going to explain, but I won't discuss Grace or my last ability. However, I'll tell you about my second Supreme Enchantment: Clockwork Universe."

Kojo's interest piqued, he leaned in.

( Go on.) Sysia urges.

"Its kind of complicated but basically gives me dominion over time," Yuki explaine.

" Basically. So both you and Sysia here think I'm not intelligent?"Kojo said with a frown.

" I didn't say that." Yuki said.

( But you meant it)

" Well...."Yuki looked away and scratched her cheeck. Kojo glared at her from the corner of his eye.

( So how are you able to communicate with me ?) Sysia asked.

"All existence is made up of called Psions – positive Negatrons and negative Positrons."

Yukio continued, "Psions are the code that makes up what is and what is not , forming the foundations of existence; physical, spiritual and beyond.Subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules, all these things are merely the physical manifestion of the code. Im able to hear Sysia because I can interact with the code"

Kojo's eyes widened. "That's incredible."

" Now that's the reaction I wanted." Yuki thought to herself secretly crying with joy.

Sysianon the other hand began formulating theories.

(Psions.... If so,... Then that means,...

But then,... Kojo's energy construct so..... This could be crucial to understanding his abilities...If I could mimic this... Kojo's information manipulation and energy construct... but I forgot how to do it... Stupid memory lapses.)

Sysia complaining as the revelation was too much for her to process at once.

Kojo teased, "Well well well,the omni-knowest Sysia doesn't know everything."

(Shut up)

They approached the chapel entrance, and Yuki bowed in greeting to the guards at the gate before entering. Kojo looked up at the building before following.
