[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 49: Warmth (2)

...****************...

Noelle already knew about the [7 Deadly Sins], but she had never seen the skills of the [7 Heavenly Virtues].

After all Olivia has 《Lust》 representing ****, and Charlotte has 《Wrath》 representing anger or wrath.

Both of them were skills from the [7 Deadly Sins].

Isis explained, it is not easy to get skills from both series, one must meet certain requirements just to get his skill.

"When your determination and actions are recognized by the world's main system, you will be chosen as the person who will have the skill, in the case of your boyfriend' which is so great for you, that the world system sees his actions as 'sin' .. As a result, he gets 《Lust》, then there is Charlotte .... He has 《Wrath》 probably because of the negative energy he accumulated"

(Negative energy .. If it is not wrong it .. 'Mental Policy'! )

Noelle recalled for a while, and finally found the explanation Anastasia had given her.

"Right, that Charlotte girl had accumulated a lot of negative energy caused by 'anger', it was supposed to put it into a berserk mode because the human body and soul were unlikely to survive those negative energies, but she had the blessing of Goddess Anastasia attached to her soul so that she could maintain her sanity and turn that energy into materials to create the 《Wrath》 skill, and turn her race into Fallen Angels"

(That makes sense ... Then? What else do you know? )

Noelle forced Isis to keep spewing information, but Isis herself had run out of information to share with Noelle.

"Only to the extent that I know, the stronger the skill you have, the heavier the burden on your soul, but since you have the blessing of Goddess Anastasia, you are at least safe now"

(Sial ... I'm still curious about the intricacies of this skill)

Noelle was a little disappointed, but she really wanted to get useful information from Isis.

Noelle was silent for a moment, then she again spoke to Isis hesitantly.

(...... It feels like a crazy idea just popped into my head .... ).

"Hoo? Whatisit? ", is asked with interest.

So Noelle explained the theory she had.

This has to do with the reason why people in this world are so weak.

Based on what Isis explained earlier, all the skills of the dead will return to the world's main system and be recycled into energy. However, due to the system Anastasia created, the energy returned to the world became reduced in number as some of that energy was taken to maintain the seal by using the Anastasia system.

If the energy was a little, then it was highly impossible to create a powerful skill for humans, and it caused them to weaken.

(Although this one is a little off the mark, it will further strengthen my conjecture .. In the past there should have been someone who knew the intricacies of the Anastasia system, and it was that person who restricted everyone's level … Because in my opinion, levels are a way to measure one's soul strength)

" ……… That makes sense", Isis listened to all of Noelle's explanations with a serious face.

Noelle thought, most likely even Anastasia could not resist the world system from imparting powerful skills to someone because it was basically a natural cycle created by the creator god.

If one had achieved certain experiences and qualified, then the world's main system would automatically acknowledge it and give that person a powerful skill based on what he had achieved. Even Anastasia herself was unable to stop that natural thing.

'To create a powerful skill, it takes an enormous amount of energy as a material'

If such a powerful skill was really going to be created, then the energy used to create it must have been enormous, it would have caused a reduced supply of energy from the system to maintain the Demon King seal.

(Everything is starting to connect, the 'troublemaker' who caused the weakening of all races in the world, is a figure who knows about the shortcomings of the system Anastasia created … So he limited the development of the human level so that their souls would not become stronger .. The stronger their souls were, the greater the chance of obtaining powerful skills, it would cause problems for Anastasia)

Noelle seriously explained to Isis. Listening to her, Isis seriously thought in her head and spoke to Noelle.

"That all makes sense .. If the world's major systems start to stop supplying energy to maintain the seal, then the seal can only last up to 10,000 years using 'reserve' energy' obtained as a result of subverting the Gods and Angels"

(Just ... After all, if there were a lot of strong skill owners suddenly popping up, it would upset the balance of nature ...By the way ..Do you know someone who has strong skills? )

In response to Noelle's question, Isis seemed to think for a moment and then returned to speaking.

"As far as I've seen so far, there's nothing stronger than [7 Deadly Sins] and [7 Heavenly Virtues]. There might be a stronger one, but I don't know", Isis helplessly shook her head.

"Even I don't know the details, maybe Anastasia didn't either. After all, all the skills that exist in the world today have existed even when the first race set foot in the world … Only Chronoa knows all the details about this world, however .. He is the Creator God"

(Mmhhmm .. That's a hassle .. Alright! where's this fucking Chronoa? I'm going to visit his house to make meak— I mean ask about the world! )

"You just wanted to say 'force' right?! Aye right?! Surrender, Chronoa is out of your reach right now"

'Tch', Noelle clicked her tongue in annoyance as soon as she began to be underestimated by Isis.

But Noelle still does not deny that. Compared to the person who created the world, Noelle was probably nothing more than a piece of trash who was by chance born.

(Alright, but at least tell me.. Where is Chronoa now? )

"I don't know"

(Eh? )

"I said I don't know! "

(Wait, you know so much about this world, how could you possibly lose your own creator ?! )

Noelle began to get annoyed at Isis who kept denying her. Isis, however she just yelled impossible in a hysterical voice.

"How could I possibly know about him?! He never even appeared in person! And I also can't feel the air of its existence anymore even though it was so powerful before! "

(Binggo)

"Ah—"

Noelle could sense that she was smiling right now, and Isis' body was trembling like a small animal.

(Can you explain what you said? )

There was no way out, all the doors were closed to Isis.

So Isis again explained with resignation.

According to his explanation, he suddenly regained consciousness in this dark place with Noelle. She herself did not understand why, but since Noelle was before her, there must be a trigger that caused all of this.

Moreover, he could not sense the presence of Chronoa. Chronoa had an aura that fused with nature and was often misunderstood as natural energy, but all the great energy that overflowed from his body was nothing more than his aura alone.

That's why Isis should be able to find Chronoa's existence under normal circumstances, but at this time, Chronoa's existence becomes thinner with each passing time.

Isis was in a panic when it happened, but she calmed her mind again after feeling the presence of Chronoa even though it was very far away.

(So, in the end .. You have absolutely no idea yes .. )

"Mrs"

Isis lowered her head in disappointment. Noelle had the urge to stroke her head, but she had Olivia waiting for her right now.

(Very unfortunate .. Well, I'll investigate myself later)

"Nn, one more ... You'd better—"

Before Isis finished her sentence, Noelle woke up and sat on the bed in sweat.

(Eh? Whafs what? )

His body was already not numb, and he could also move his body freely. But it happened too suddenly.

Noelle carefully looked around the room and only realized that Olivia was looking at her from the side with an anxious face.

"Olivia … "

The voice******* lightly came out of Noelle's mouth as soon as she called out her lover's name, Olivia also looked at Noelle with tears.

Her trembling body gently hugged Noelle and ignored all the sweat stuck to her skin.

"Noelle .. Thank goodness"

With a voice that shook and almost sobbed, Olivia continued to mutter Noelle's name.

Something soft pressed down on Noelle's chest and almost made her 'react', but Noelle ignored that and enjoyed the radiance of warmth channeled through their bodies as they continued to hug.

"Olivia .. What happened? "

After Olivia became calmer, Noelle asked her. Olivia replied in a voice that was still somewhat trembling as she continued to hug Noelle from the front.

"Noelle muttered a lot of things, your body was also very hot, your magic circuit flow was chaotic, and you didn't wake up even though I called you many times"

Olivia says it all while tightening her arms at Noelle.

Noelle who saw that also immediately stroked the back of Olivia gently while saying 'Sorry for making you worry', like that.

"Mrs"

Olivia replied with a nod and slowly loosened her embrace on Noelle, but did not let go at all.

Olivia sat in Noelle's lap facing off while wrapping her arms around Noelle's neck. And Noelle also hugged Olivia gently on her waist.

It makes them look like koalas that cannot escape from the tree.

"Noelle .. What happened? "

Olivia looked at Noelle with strong eyes. Her obsidian pupils seemed to glow as she looked at Noelle.

(Ahh .. You are truly capable of rendering me helpless .. )

Noelle really couldn't argue with Olivia, so she told him everything.

Noelle tells about the meeting with Isis, the discussion about the system, skills, seals, and others.

And Olivia's response was …

"So … "

Olivia muttered as she again tightened her embrace on Noelle.

"If that is so .. Then the scale of the problem becomes bigger .. I want Noelle to count on me as well"

Olivia pressed her body against Noelle who was not wearing any clothes to cover her chest.

"Whatchu mean? "

Noelle pretended not to understand, but Olivia tightened her arms and drowned her face in Noelle's chest.

"Noelle's been working alone a lot lately, so .. Please involve me this time"

His voice was quite slow, yet clear. Olivia's emotions are really conveyed through her embrace with Noelle.

"But … "

Noelle hesitated for a moment, she really did not want to involve Olivia in the matter.

This is not a trivial thing, and moreover, there is still the problem of Charlotte and Chloe experiencing memory decline.

There's gonna be a lot of things Noelle has to do. And it would all be dangerous if Olivia was involved.

"Did Noelle not trust me? "

Her voice that asked tremblingly echoed in Noelle's ears. Noelle looked at Olivia and saw Olivia tighten her arms at Noelle.

"Of course I trust you" Noelle said.

" Then ... You should be more confident to get me involved in this matter" Olivia replied gently.

"But … "

Noelle did not get to finish her sentence, she was surprised by Olivia's movement that pulled away from her embrace.

" "………" "

Silence filled the room, their two eyes staring at each other, conveying what they wanted to say.

One second, two seconds, every second felt like an eternity, they didn't move and just stared at each other.

Suddenly Olivia reached out her hands and pulled Noelle's head into her own chest. Noelle was unable to resist, so she gently leaned her head against Olivia's chest.

"I want Noelle to count on me"

"Mhm"

Noelle was unable to answer Olivia, she simply muttered as if her mouth had been sealed.

Olivia continued to speak while gently stroking Noelle's albino hair.

"I don't want Noelle to leave me"

"There's no way I'm leaving you" Noelle spontaneously denied, but she was held back with a softness sensation in her head.

"Fufu~ I know that Noelle won't leave me, but .. I don't want to be a burden to you"

Her soft voice was accompanied by the smoothness of her hands that kept stroking Noelle's hair.

Olivia continued to comb Noelle's white hair with her fingers, although the color of her hair was a bit unhealthy, it was so soft that Olivia could hold for days just to stroke Noelle's hair.

The pale white thread continued to pass through between Olivia's soft fingers, Noelle had truly been rendered helpless.

While continuing to hug Noelle in her chest, Olivia continued to speak.

"I don't want to be the girl that only you Noelle can protect"

"Mhm"

"I want us to be in the same place, in equal positions, protecting each other .. I don't want to hide behind you"

" ……… Yes ... ", Noelle answered after a long silence.

Getting an answer from Noelle, Olivia smiled and nodded her head as she continued to move her hands to stroke Noelle's hair.

"Good, then .. Please cooperate .. Noelle"

" … Okay"

Noelle hesitated for a moment, but was again melted by the tenderness of Olivia who spoiled her.

Olivia pulled Noelle to lie on the bed without letting go of Noelle's head which she held tightly on her chest, pulled the blanket and closed her eyes without stopping her hand which continued to take care of Noelle.

Noelle could only enjoy the warmth of Olivia's body with her remaining consciousness.

So Noelle's goal for now has been set.

He must meet the creator of the world, Chronoa.

Noelle didn't know why, but she felt she had to meet him soon.

There are certainly issues about Harold being the target of Charlotte's revenge, the memory setbacks that Charlotte and Chloe are going through, and about Isis whom he met in his dreams, but Noelle would somehow address all of those problems one by one.

Thinking of that in her head, Noelle closed her eyes and slept in Olivia's arms that did not stop channeling her warmth.

They continued to sleep with such hugs and did not want to escape until Charlotte finally pulled them by force during the day.
