chapter 147

“So, can you go ahead and lead the way to the King’s secret room?”

‘Ah, yes right away!’

We made our way through the tunnels of the termite hill, all the while conversing with Alpeon through telepathy until we arrived at the room which hid the World Tree’s roots.

“Lena, open up a line with Machina.”

“Ok, but in order to do so you need to first physically touch them.”

Following her instruction I bent down and grabbed the thick roots.

“It’s been a while!”

“It has indeed.”

“Your appearance seems to have changed again.”

“What do you mean by again?”

“It isn’t the first time that we meet, and you’ve often had different bodies, but something feels different. Could this be your original body?”

“That isn’t important, I have something I need you to do.

“Sure.”

“Can you figure out what is different in this timeline compared to when I first lived it?”

“Perhaps, some minor changes, but since I only have second hand knowledge of what you experienced, it is hard to know perfectly.”

“That should be fine, for now please find out the whereabouts of a Pixie named Gwyn.”

“Ok, I’ll inform you as soon as I find something.”

“Great. Oh, and how many Void Scuttles are currently under here? ”

“About 2 billion .”

“That should be plenty, and just where does it lead to?”

“It passes through three different universes. The first is the one which the Elves named Elfheim. The second is one called Evelysla, and the last is where my roots originate from.”

“I see, then is it possible for me to follow these roots down?”

“Yes, but it would be best to be wary of the universe named Evelysla because it is under the control of the Trons.”

“Oh, it would be nice to meet them after all this time. Did you create Elfheim in order to resist the Trons, Machina?”

“That’s right.”

“Then why is it that you later expelled the Elves from their birthplace?”

“I had no choice but to do so in order to save their lives. The Trons had created far too many Void Scuttles which infested Elfheim. Although I have managed to get their numbers under control, I haven’t been able to eliminate them entirely.”

“Then would the Elves be able to return to Elfheim now?”

“Well there are still quite a few Scuttles left, and after all this time they have evolved and become quite dangerous so they would be too much of a threat to the Elves right now. We would first have to further trim their numbers.”

“Naturally, now can you tell me why it is that the Asmodians were also kicked out of Evelysla?”

The Asmodians that you find here in this world are those which rebelled against the Trons, as they refused to be used as cannon fodder in their endless war.

“Okay, I understand. Let me know when you find any news of Gwyn.”

“Yes”

After talking with Machina, I ordered the Termites to dig beneath us.
