Everyone Else Has a System

I stood up to look at the people looking with a somewhat blank expressions as they heard Theia's words before turning towards me and I sighed before speaking,"well… that huh… "

"It was that girl… I never understood her… her purpose… her reasons… exactly what she was… One time she hates me like I had taken everything from her, other times it feels like I am everything that matters to her… Her purpose… I don't understand. Kill me already, why are you hurting me so much? Let me go… why are you always coming back to me… Giving me hope… and then taking it away from me…

In the end, I was drained. All my friends had been killed… all my emotions were more or less numb… I had nothing left to turn back to. At that moment, when I felt like I had completely lost her… I had already given up on living. Though, at least I wanted to defeat that 'monster' before I die… however that was a futile dream," I spoke as I looked back at my past.

I talked about Lucia… been a while. I let my past feelings out…

"Did you meet her here?" Theia asked again with a slight glare in her eyes and I made a slight serious expression before sighing and speaking,

"Yeah. As soon as I came here, I decided to kill her but when I met her again… I couldn't feel anything from her. I hated her but… something felt off about her… it was as if she wasn't that same girl."

My eyes were concentrated as I spoke and Theia spoke with her eyes narrowed,"you still love her?"

"No. I don't think I love her… I don't have any feelings left towards her. If anything, I don't want to know anything related to her at all," I spoke with a decisive tone and Theia closed her eyes for a few moments before speaking,

"And if I kill her? What will you do then?"

"..." I kept quiet as she asked that question. For a few moments, I asked that question to myself. What will I do, huh? Will I be angry at Theia? Will I be sad for Lucia? Or will I ignore her as if she were just another stranger? Or will I be happy that she is finally gone for good?

"What should I assume from your silence?" Theia asked with a slight glare as her expression turned irritated and I closed my eyes before finally deciding to speak,

"You can do as you wish for it. I don't care what happens to her."

She looks at me objectively before she nods and says,"I will make sure she dies then."

I then shook my head before speaking,

"Moving on from that topic… I am here for Deaths of Duality. Is the dungeon still intact? Also one more thing. Do you still have the Gate of Avalon with you?"

Theia looked at me with a slight confused expression before asking,"that broken Gate of Avalon? Yeah, I still have it with me. Though, without its missing piece, I doubt it is going to work. As for the Dungeon of Chaos holding, Deaths of Duality, yeah it's still intact right now. In fact, it is in much better shape than it was before."

Theia smiled at me before adding on,"The Life Bow of Agony as well as the Blade of Bane are sleeping peacefully there as well."

My eyes open up wide as I look at her before asking,"you sure have maintained quite a lot this time. I heard the War of the Seven broke down all the dungeons last time… I guess you did something to stop it from happening?"

She looked at me and said,"Yeah, when I sacrificed half of my power along with half of my life to create that dimensional gate for you, I reverted back to a lower form and was able to kill monsters of this realm again. Thus, I used my power to fight the Kings and keep them in check."

"Did you try to beat any of the dungeons?" I asked with a deliberating expression as I wondered if she got something too but she shook her head as she spoke,"Those above S4 weren't allowed to enter the dungeons."

I nodded at her before looking at my friends whom I brought here to train and help them improve their powers… I guess, rather than giving them free experience against the monsters, I suppose we need to give them proper guidance so that they can bloom.

"Theia, I need you to help these monsters gain back their former powers along with those whom I found worthy enough to be trained," I spoke and Theia, hearing the word 'former' turned at everyone there before her eyes fixated on one particular guy as she took a few steps back and fell down on her butt.

Sweat marred her forehead and a fearstrucken look appeared on her face. Her eyes were shaking in slight disbelief as she muttered before looking at me,"don't tell me it's… 'Him.' "

I only nodded at her and she took a good look at that yellow haired kid, Lucas Laurentze, once again.

Perhaps she had seen his true power… or maybe even more since he must have gotten even stronger after I died, Theia was in both awe and horrification as she observed Lucas and recalled the power which she had observed.

To fight against the Parasite King as well as the Intergalactic King, Alulim, by himself and giving both of them an edge, even enough to kill Alulim… Lucas wasn't a mere monster… he was someone that could send chills down the spine of Primordials as well as Guardians alike.

'I still remember when Lucy, Lucas and I met Alulim first… it was the day I finally realised why Lucas was both known as the psychopath as well as the most feared being of our entire galaxy.'
