Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 300 - 295: Some Revelations

As if the man could read Alex's thoughts, he paused.

''Come to think, I have never introduced myself; I'm Nicklaus.''

''I'm Alexander.''

Even though he knew that his predecessor was aware of his name, Alex still introduced himself.

''Good, let's stop here.''

At the same time, they have arrived at their destination. It was a small hut; after entering, Nicklaus invited Alex to sit on a sample wooden chair; after pouring Alex a tea, he said.

''This is our third meeting. Unexpectedly, in the span of just four months, you have gotten powerful.''

''I'm still weak, far from my goal,'' Alex responded.

''It's good that you are not conceited. Some people become conceited just after gaining a lit bit of strength. There is always someone stronger than you; one must never become arrogant until you see the end, meaning until you are the strongest when you can dominate everything.'' Nicklaus said.

Alex nodded quietly, Nicklaus continued.

''You know I have a dream, not some lofty dream. I just wanted to live an unfettered life, bound by no obligation. However, fate refused to give me that. Disaster happened, and unexpectedly I got caught in something I shouldn't have, I become chosen.''

''You must have heard a little about our world.''

Alex nodded to acknowledge Nicklaus's words.

''I will talk a little bit about it.''

''Supreme beings created a world filled with creatures at their images, this world was really big, so big that it ends could not be seen. They called it Original World; this world was divided into layers, from the lowest to the highest layers lived the races, creations of the Supreme beings. I was the High Human's Race creator of the human race; High Humans are ranked Third among the races behind the Ancient dragon race and Angel race being the strongest.''

'Unexpectedly, it's not the Ancient dragon race the strongest but the Angel race.' Alex thought when he heard Nicklaus's explanation. Previously, when briefing on High humans, Silveria did not talk about the Ancient dragon race; maybe she had forgotten, or was there any reason for her not to say this?

Unaware of what was going through Alex's mind, Niklaus continued with his explanation.

''It's true that The Angel race was the strongest if you do not speak about them.''

Niklaus paused when he spoke until there.

''Them? Who are you talking about?" Alex inquired.

''I'm talking about Divine Race; they were reclusive, lived in their world outside of the Original World. Some said they are the first race to be created, closer to the creators, the almost perfect race. They have a special feature; they can transform into anything, any weapons.''

''What?" Alex exclaimed aloud when he heard about the Divine Race special ability.

''You mean to say that Silveria and other real identity is that they are from the Divine Race?"

To Alex's question, Niklaus smiled; it was apparent that what he said was right.

This revelation gobsmacked Alex. However, his surprise wasn't going to end just there.

''It could be said that if the Divine Race wanted they could rule the Original World, the ruler of the Spirit Realm (it's how they called their world) was a woman, an extremely powerful woman possessing unparalleled strength, the Spirit Realm Empress had two daughters.''

Alex's eyes widened; he could guess what would follow.

''One has Black hair, the second daughter has silver hair. The silver-haired daughter's original name was Nemesis.''

''I see; it was why she had that reaction after I gave her that second name; it is turned out that it was her original name. What it's Silveria's big sister name."

Alex inquired as he was curious about what name Silveria's big sister has.

''It's Nyx,'' Niklaus said after a moment of pause to drink his tea.

''The Goddess of Night. This name is associated with the Goddess of Night in our world.'' Alex said when he remembered the story talking about Nyx.

''I see, here, Nyx is associated with death, The Death Goddess, that is her nickname. Let's me continue with my little lesson.'' Niklaus said.

''One day, the Spirit Realm Empress took a radical decision, using her power to bound her subjects to other races to be used as their weapons; it was how Gift came to be. Shortly after they appeared, the civilization destroyer, calamity race, chaos Race. They have only one goal, which is destruction. These abominations seemed to have caused the death of numerous Divine Race people (We learned this later). If she had not made that direction, everything would have been lost. This race could infiltrate anything, corrupt anything. We fought, but we lost. I do not know their motivations apart from destruction, but if we do not erase them for good. Everything will be lost. Even the Supreme beings are afraid of this race as if after they exterminated everything, their next step would be to go after the supreme beings. Do you know the cost of our defeat?"

Alex shook his head even if he knew the answer; he wanted to learn the most he can about the past.

''Destruction of the Original World. The funny thing is that they made us fight each other; we could stay united to fight against the common enemy. Wife stabbed their husband in the back, brother killing each other, friends betraying each other. This race has numerous methods to use against its enemies. Can you believe it? The Daemon race got controlled and betrayed us. They are the fourth-strongest race, the creator of the demon's race. The Ancient dragon race rebelled. Everything would have gone extinct if not for- Forget it.''

''I'm curious about something, predecessor,'' Alex said after a long moment of silence to digest the information he got.

''You want to know where this race came from? I'm right?" Niklaus asked as he could guess what he wanted to ask.

''Yeah.''

Indeed Alex didn't deny it. Niklaus stayed silent before saying.

''We do not know where they come from. What is sure is that they weren't part of the Original races, not part of the Original World. Some speculate that this race was a fallen experiment of the supreme beings. Another one said this race was created by one of the Supreme beings to clash against the others because of a difference in opinions. Whether these speculations are true or not, nobody knows. What is sure is that, if we don't fight back, it will be the end.''

''What if everything is just the doing of the Supreme beings? What if everything that happened was some game to them? For entertainment purposes, of course. Have you thought about it?" Alex questioned Niklaus.

Niklaus's expression turned stern like that of a Big brother wanting to scold his brother when he did something terrible.

''You know, little Alex, something is better left unsaid for you to live longer. You are lucky to be in an independent space created by me, thus making it impossible for anyone to spy on us if I do not allow it. In my domain, I'm the Supreme. What you are thinking about, I also thought about it, the result I have failed miserably. I had the feeling that we are chess pieces on the cheeseboard, I failed to become a player. You can think about one time, they will take it as a joke, but you keep up, you won't end well. You are smart. You understand what I mean. Maybe you will succeed where I failed and truly stand at the summit one day. Too bad I won't be there anymore.''

Alex's eyes widened when he heard the last part of Niklaus's words; at the same time, he was relieved.

''Hehehe! What a rude junior. You don't have to be so happy hearing that I won't be there seeing you complete your goal.'' Niklaus teased Alex.

''Ugh!"

''I know that even as we talk, you are wary of me. Maybe I have an ulterior motive, for example, take control of your body someday, sometime in the future. I can assure you that your worries are unfounded. I'm but a mere soul remnant; I have truly died. This soul remnant is left to help my junior, nothing more, nothing less.''

Alex scratched his head in embarrassment when his thoughts got revealed like this.

Everything that Niklaus said was the absolute truth. Even though he was listening to Niklaus's story, Alex had been thinking about a method to get rid of him if he ever tried to possess him, as these kinds of things often happen in novels; this is not a novel. However, one should never be wary enough when dealing with a crafty old monster. So, Alex was making plans; even though he doubts their success rate, he could only try. However, now that Niklaus reassured him, Alex became less worried; he did not believe Niklaus's words as he might be lying.

''Good! Worthy of being this man's junior.'' Niklaus said after seeing that Alex did not let his guards down after hearing his words. If Alex did that, he would have been disappointed in him. Fortunately, Alex did not.

''Let's continue,'' Niklaus said with a smile.
