Maria and the others shivered under Alex's killing intent; they were unable to move, especially Eri; she felt like all bones inside her body were about to be crushed, she started to have trouble breathing.
''You are not Alex; you must be Silveria.''
Despite the overbearing pressure trying to crush them, Maria still managed to utter those words. While she never really interacted with Silveria, she heard from Alex and Gracier.
Gracier eyes widened when she heard Maria's words; she glared at Alex and said.
''Big sister Sil, what are you doing? Are you trying to murder us?"
Unexpectedly Gracier's harsh words seemed to have some effect on Silveria; she retracted her killing intent, and the pressure they were filling disappeared like a puff of smoke; however, two people still had lingering fear, those two were none other than Eri, who suffered more than the other while the second person was Noire.
Despite being already aware of the frightening existences within her master, it seemed she still underestimated how scary they were. Just with that killing intent, Noire, who had lived for thousand years, was no match for it; she was utterly helpless, she couldn't move a muscle, so imagine if Silveria unleashed her full power, she would die before even knowing it. This simple thought frightened her; she decided to be more obedient never complain in order to live longer.
Ignorant of his subordinate's thoughts, Alex regained control of his body after Silveria's outburst ordered.
''Sil, come out and apologize.''
No matter how emotional she became because of a few words, her action must not remain unpunished.
Although she was clearly not in the mood, Silveria still did not dare to do as Alex said as she feared his reaction if she were to refuse to follow his order.
The moment the silver-haired goddess appeared except for Gracier, Alex, and Maria, the others were shocked; they wondered how they could be such a beautiful woman in this world? Everything about her was perfect; even her modest chest seemed to be normal and did nothing to diminish her charm. She was a creature created by the Gods, thought the others.
However, the person they were praising was not in the mood; she clicked her tongue in annoyance just after appearing. Alex glared at her while rubbing his hands together; Silveria shivered, feeling phantom pains on her buttocks; she remembered that day, that shameful day she wished to erase but unfortunately could never do. She knew she must hurry and apologize; if not, Alex would make a move.
''Tch! I'm sorry, please forgive me for what happens.''
Eri, Noire, Maria, and Gracier were speechless, wondering what kind of apology was this? But they said nothing when they noticed Alex not saying anything; he only chuckled. Silveria sat beside him while the others could only resign at the end, not asking for a proper apology.
''Sil, can you now tell me why you reacted like that after hearing the name of the higher world?" To calm the others down, Alex asked this question. He decided to share some things with others, be in the dark for too would not do them any good; only by sharing responsibility would they be able to survive what would happen.
''Girl, you said they called the higher world; you came from the Original world, right?"
Still afraid of Silveria, Eri responded by violently nodding her head.
''Stop scaring the poor girl,'' Alex warned, and Silveria sighed before she began explaining.
''Master, as you know, our world was destroyed in that war, scattered into a different world. While we, the divine race, are from the Spirit Realm, the general name of our world where all other races lived was called the Original world. A name was given to us by the supreme beings before they vanished. During the war against the chaos race, everything got destroyed, and the name original world disappeared. Nobody dared to use it even after it split into many planes filled with new worlds.''
''I see!" Alex mumbled; no wonder she would react like that. A name people forgot and couldn't use suddenly appeared; it was not the only problem; the other higher world was called the Chaos Realm, which means that the two forces would inevitably clash. As for whom were the ones to come up with these names, the current Alex had no way knowing; the only way possible for knowing would be to ascend and be stronger, something he clearly lacked right now.
''Eri, I'm sure that the higher world, the original world, is composed of many worlds. I'm wrong?"
After a moment of silence, Alex suddenly asked this question startling the others; only, Silveria, Maria, and Lilith were not really surprised as they also had thought the same thing.
''Yes, many worlds formed the higher world where I came from. I don't remember the exact number, maybe two hundred worlds, but as we speak, those worlds are merging into a new powerful world.''
Alex furrowed his brows when he heard this; he exchanged a look with Silveria; they both could see worries in each other eyes, whoever is controlling this higher world, they are dangerous; this person seems to be prepared for war.
''How many races are over there? And what race is the most dominant?"
Seeing a rare opportunity to gain information on the other side, Alex did not hesitate to ask a few questions. Naturally, Eri understood this well and didn't hide what she knew. She was lucky to be part of a big family, and as a genius, she knew many things.
''I don't remember the exact number, but I will tell you what I know.''
Everyone rolled their eyes upon hearing the first half of Eri's sentence; they wondered if she was not doing it intentionally; it was the second time she said the same thing. This made them doubt if she was knowledgeable as she tried to portray.
Eri blushed, feeling embarrassed by those stares she was receiving; she cleared her throat and decided to tell them what she knew; after all, she was not a living library; she only knew a little.
