Chapter 38: 38. Zenithans
Chapter 38: 38. Zenithans
After seeing that everyone understood what he meant to say, Walric continued.
"The people with the same attire as me came from a star realm called Human Federation Realm, while the people with the same clothing design as Agnar come from a star realm called Magus Kingdom. The last ones, like Feran, are from a star realm called Martial Domain. The three star realms are collectively known as the three domains."
Pondering about what Walric said, Orion understood.
'So, if there are three groups of people in this place, then that would explain why some of them look kind of strange.'
But he still didn't understand what that had to do with Zenithans and the Three Divine Ways.
'Also, what is the star realm he talked about?'
However, before he could ask his question, someone else took the initiative to do so.
"What is the star realm?"
A pleasant voice sounded. Orion turned to see that it was still the white-haired girl that he had overlooked previously.
Walric had expected this type of question, so he answered her.
"Groups of planets gathered around a region are what we called a star realm."
A look of understanding dawned upon Orion, but with it came a feeling of amazement.
'Is inter-planet travel a thing in this world?'
The prospect of traveling through different planets really intrigued him.
At that moment, he heard Walric continue his explanation.
"As for the Zenithans, they are aboriginals from the new planets we people from the three domains took rule of."
A strange look appeared on Walric's face as he looked at the group of transmigrators and continued.
"Don't take offense, but you Zenithans are a strange group of people. You believe in originality and value your culture too much to the point that you won't even reach out to other planets that have better resources and have always lived on the same planet, unwilling to explore the three domains. This led to Zenithans becoming the lowest group of people in the three domains. Therefore, it isn't surprising that you kids don't know anything about the Three Divine Ways."
Orion had an amused look on his face as he heard Walric because, as far as he could tell, he wasn't a Zenithan, but he wasn't sure about other transmigrators.
As for why he believed he wasn't a Zenithan, it was mainly because of the dream he had when he came to the island.
He had been thinking about this dream every day since the day he had dreamt of it, and from what he could tell, this dream didn't appear to be just any dream but a memory—a memory of the body he had occupied when he came to this world.
And when Walric explained about the people from the three domains and their different attires, he thought of the scene he had seen in the dream where people wore clothes like princes and princesses, plus the majestic look of the hall he saw in the dream in addition to his supposed father. He could tell that he appeared from the Magus Kingdom.
'But it's good that he misunderstood this; otherwise, it would have been a headache to explain our situation to them.'
Orion thought as he pondered some other things.
"Clap!"
At that moment, Walric clapped to draw their attention as he started explaining about the Three Divine Ways.
"You should know that if we overuse our talents or use some skills that require high mana consumption consecutively, then our curses become active at that time, and if your stats are not high, then using even simple skills will cause your curse to become active."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"So to prevent that, the three domains came up with something that wouldn't require one to use the power of their talents but would require using mana."
However, at that moment, Walric got interrupted by a kid from his Zenithans group.
"If we don't use our talents, then won't we be unable to use our skills as well? Then how will we fight against monsters without using skills?"
Walric smiled at his question.
"Well, that's how magical the Three Divine Ways are. We don't need skills or talent to fight monsters if we can use the Three Divine Ways and harness the power of mana within us. But before I teach you that, rest for an hour or so, as you need to be in your best condition to learn that."
Orion and the others nodded.
Afterward, they looked for a place to sit down.
Orion observed the hall and found an area at the corner empty. Reaching there, he sat down and rested with his head down as he pondered a problem that arose when he heard Walric explaining the Three Divine Ways.
'The Three Divine Ways required the use of mana, but I don't have mana at all, so this thing is useless for me, I guess. Also, I don't think I need to learn that anyway.'
Most importantly, he thought there wasn't a need for him to learn the Three Divine Ways, as from what he could tell, his curse—Null Body seemed to be always active, unlike others when they overused their talents.
He came to this conclusion because others' curses activated after they overused their talents, but he couldn't use mana or anything related to mana at all since the moment he got his curse. This could only happen if his curse were to remain active at all times.
Also, his curse didn't hold him back like others did. That's why he thought that he wouldn't need the Three Divine Ways.
But there was one thing he was doubtful about.
'They said if one were to use the power of the Three Divine Ways, then they would be able to defeat the third guardian. That means the Three Divine Ways aren't just a technique to harness the power of mana but also something that would increase their strength to a high level.'
Thinking of this, he decided he would try to learn the Three Divine Ways if he could, and if he couldn't, then there was nothing he could do.
'Three Divine Ways or not, if I could just max out all my attributes to the max, then I doubt the third guardian would be a problem for me.'
He thought this because, from what he could see, everyone could only increase their one attribute to the max level, while he could do the same for all five of his attributes.
If he were to achieve that, he would definitely become super strong, and with his arsenal of curses with him, he doubted the third guardian would pose a problem to him.
'But this leveling area had to have a time limit of one hour, and including the one I will get after defeating the second guardian, I will get only around two hours in total.'
He sighed, thinking about it.
At this moment, another idea came to his mind.
'If I could copy the curses of all the people here and choose the best ones to practice, then I might have a chance against the third guardian.'
He felt that in this situation, this should be the best course of action he could take.
Also, from what he could tell, his use of curses seemed infinite to him, unlike others, whose use of talent had a limit on the amount of mana they had, but he didn't appear to have anything that would limit his use of curses.
This had been proven, as he hadn't felt any limitations on him whatsoever when he used his curses. Aside from the fact that he had to be in full despair mode to use his curses.
"Hehe."
Thinking of that, a smile appeared on his face.
"What are you smiling for?"
At that moment, Orion heard a familiar voice. Looking up, he saw that it was Runo's team that seemed to be coming towards him.
