Plundering in the Apocalypse



Shin's face twitched, and he was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect because of his request he will end up being targeted by such a dangerous thing.

'I didn't expect the chaotic energy she uses to be the type of energy immortals cultivate.'

Well, if you think about it. It's not that surprising. After all, the Adult Alice in front of him already said that she was immortal. Moreover, from their conversation, he could see that there was a big mystery behind them.

"So what should I do now?"

Shin is very clear that he doesn't have the strength to ascend yet. What if he gets sucked in again? Thinking of being stuck in that place, a cold shiver ran down his spine.

Adult Alice shook her head and said, "Normally, if you don't want to face the trial for ascension. It's best to have a space-type ability to escape from there."

"Soul Space does a similar job and the Eternal White Mist won't be able to stop. As this is considered giving up on the trial."

Hearing this, Shin's eyes lit up. "So, I don't have to worry anymore?"

Nodding her head, she said, "As long as you have Soul Space, it should be fine."

Although Shin sighed in relief. He was still thinking of ways to obtain space-type abilities or skills which could be helpful in such situations.

'From what I remember, there was a guy with teleport ability in Leonard's memory.'

But Shin didn't know much about him and he was still thinking of other ways. After all, he wasn't sure about killing a stranger just to plunder his ability.

Anyway, now that Shin knew about that mysterious fog. His tensed nerves relaxed a little. He took a sip of tea in front of him.

As soon as the first sip entered his mouth. Shin's eyes widened in shock. He felt like his whole body was rejoicing. He felt the cells in his body rejuvenating.

Then a series of notifications flashed in front of his eyes.

***

[Mana - 504 (60% Purified)]

[Mana is being purified...]

[Purification increased by 20%...]

[Mana - 504 (80% Purified)]

***

Shin's whole person was stunned. He didn't expect that just drinking this tea could bring him such benefits.

His eyes lit up as he drank the rest of the cup in excitement. But even after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happened.

This left him puzzled. But Adult Alice seem to understand his confusion and said.

"Even if you drink another cup, the Mana purity won't increase."

Her words immediately dampened his excitement.

"Your mana purity should be around 80% right?"

Hearing this, Shin was surprised for a moment. But nodded his head in admission.

"When you advance next time, it should reach 100% by then."

This made him understand a few things. It wasn't surprising that she knew about these things. But Shin still wanted a lot of answers from her.

"What happens when I reach 100% purity?" Shin asked, hoping for something good.

Adult Alice looked at him with a smile and said, "100% Mana purity is considered half divinity. In other words, the quality almost reaches half of the divine energy."

"So this is a good power improvement for mortals. But since you have access to divine energy, it doesn't matter."

Shin wasn't much disappointed even after knowing that. He knew although he has divine energy; the quantity is very little and for the next period of time, he is going to rely on mana a lot.

"Like mana, can divine energy also become more pure?"

When Adult Alice heard this question. A smile hooked on her beautiful face.

"Even if it is. You still have to wait-and-see."

For her indirect words, Shin took it as her acceptance.

Then, taking a deep breath, Shin finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"So, can you guys tell me what's going on and how are you related to each other?"I think you should take a look at

Both Alice looked at each other and nodded. Alice stood up from beside Shin and took the initiative to sit beside Adult Alice directly facing him.

Looking at their serious expression, facing him calmly. Shin's eyes also became serious. He always felt this truth is not as simple as he thinks and the answer might subvert his views. But it didn't matter, because his views have already been subverted the day this world changed.

Adult Alice looked at Shin solemnly and said.

"Shin, there are things I can't reveal to you yet. It's not just because of the restrictions placed on the sanctuary, but also because the truth is not something you can handle with your current strength."

"But I also don't want to keep you in the dark. So I'll reveal a few things."

"First, how are we related? It's simple. We are the same entity."

Under Shin's inexplicable eyes. She continued.

"To be precise, Alice, is someone born from the wisp of soul I separated from my spiritual body just before I was sealed."

"She also gained some of my powers when she awakened. As she will continue to become stronger, her memories will slowly return and the barrier around the sanctuary will also be slowly weaken. Well, the seal could not be broken just with her strength. But with you beside her, it will be possible."

"Is it my ability?" Adult Alice had once told Shin something about his ability and mentioned that his ability could break absolute rules. Although he didn't know what they were? But Shin understood it was probably something terrifying. Because even an immortal is helpless against it.

This made him understand the mysteriousness of his power once again. Shin knew he had never been using his Plunder Ability to its full potential. It wasn't that he can't. It's just that he was afraid.

Afraid of losing his humanity in his greed for power.

Adult Alice nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I won't tell you about your ability now. But I promise, I will tell you when the time is right."

Shin felt like things were becoming even more mysterious. At this moment, he felt like dealing with the Wolner Clan and such was far more relaxing than knowing the truths of this world.

Signing, Shin looked at her with sharp eyes and said. "I'll believe in you. But answer me one thing."

Adult Alice looked at him curiously and gestured for him to go on.

"From what you said, can I assume in the future, when you leave the sanctuary, you and Alice will become one person?"

Adult Alice was a bit thoughtful as she plucked her fingers. Holding her chin, she said, "Not exactly. But you can think in a similar sense."

Hearing this, Shin's eyes narrowed even more, and he asked. "In that case, your consciousness will also become one. Doesn't that mean one of you will die?"

When they heard this, both Alice were left stunned. They didn't expect Shin to worry about such a thing. But this made them adore him even more.

Adult Alice looked at Shin and said, "You don't have to worry about that. It's not like one consciousness will devour the other one. We will just merge and return to how we were before the separation. Moreover, as Alice continues to grow stronger this time, maybe we will be even stronger."

Although her explanation was confusing and raised many questions in his mind. But Adult Alice didn't want to answer all of them.

"Don't worry Shin, I promise you won't lose Alice."

When Shin heard this, his eyes fell on Alice, who was looking at him shyly.

"Okay, I'll believe you."

Though Shin said that, the worry in his heart didn't diminish.

"Do you want to ask anything else?"

Shin nodded his head and asked. "Alice and I just met a month ago. So why did you save me four years ago? Cried for me and even kissed me. We shouldn't have known each other, right?"

Alice's head spun sharply as she looked at Adult Alice and asked. "You kissed him, then? Why didn't I see that in the memory?"

Adult Alice's ears were a little red in embarrassment. But she maintained a calm smile and said. "I was just worried about his safety."

Alice looked at her dangerously and said, "That means you took his first kiss?"

Adult Alice knew there was no good end if she continued explaining, so she just ignored her.

"Shin, although you don't know. Our fates have been connected long before the day I saved you and you will know all the answers in the future. So you just focus on improving your strength."

'Once again, my strength.'

Today Shin understood that unless he becomes stronger, he could never get the answers to his questions.

Shin felt a sense of urgency at this moment. Because he could feel that the enemies he is going to face in the future will be very terrifying.

'It's best to deal with all these small troubles and focus on getting stronger.'

A plan was emerging in his mind as Shin left the sanctuary to the outside world, leaving both Alice there.
