The Overworld Universe's
Episode 18: past investigations

Sora is currently on his way to the present, along the way he keeps thinking about Asumi, how the fate of Asumi is now

in just a few moments Sora finally reached the present, when he saw Aria and Hijiri were trying to treat Tartarus' wounds

Sora comes to his aid, and with his healing abilities, Sora finally heals Tartarus' wounds.

"take him home, after he wakes up, give him food" Sora told Aria and Hijiri after treating his wounds.

"you're right, come on...Aria" Hijiri replied by nodding his head while tapping Tartarus' body to avoid falling

Hijiri and Aria then left Sora, bringing Tartarus back to the village and resting him

"Asumi, I hope I don't kill you" Sora said inwardly as she stared at Hijiri and Aria who were taking Tartarus away from the place.

Sora then looked towards the ruins, he recalled the time when his house was destroyed, he recalled how powerful the mass destruction bomb detonated by Grounder A0, which is a creature of the first generation fusion monster Grounder A1

Sora then took out a ring that he kept all this time, the ring was a gift from his brother named Aoi

Aoi is the twin sister of Sora, Aoi is actually Asumi's childhood friend, who after the attack ended, Asumi does not remember who Aoi is

Sora still remembers crying over the death of his dead sister in his arms, but he also does not remember who Asumi was after the incident

So that finally after Asumi's memory returned, Sora finally also recalled Asumi

"really..what is the purpose of the light to protect us both, Asumi?" Sora asked while remembering the incident when he was 4 years old, where he and Asumi were protected by a light

The light disappeared after Asumi and Sora were each placed in different places

Meanwhile, Aria and Hijiri are seen talking about something in their house, they are talking about the shocking incident they are experiencing at this time

Aria sat down while looking after Tartarus who was lying on the bed

Hijiri stood while staring at the window

"Asumi, I will avenge the betrayal you have committed, I swear I will kill you" Hijiri said, looking back.

"i'm still in doubt.I'm not sure Asumi really intends to do that, I really know Asumi is a good person, she can't possibly do that" Aria replied to Hijiri's words.

"the traitor is still a traitor, if he is pitied, he will continue to use us" Hijiri replied to Aria.

Aria remained silent and directed her gaze towards Tartarus who was still in a fainting state

Switch to the 30 million years where Asumi was thrown after her defeat of Sora in that fight

Asumi was sitting under a tree in the middle of a very dense forest, thinking of her past as someone who did not know what, she then took out a ring, and then took out a ring, the ring was given by Aoi, her childhood friend, Asumi had kept it all this time inside her jacket.

he had forgotten about this ring after losing his memory, but fortunately he did not throw this ring

"i know what you're thinking you're letting yourself be attacked because you can't stand up to someone valuable to you" the ball of light whispered back.

"actually I already know, I will not be able to fight Sora. When I fight him, I see Aoi's soul in her" Asumi replied to the light.

"what do you mean?" ask the light to Asumi

"it is true, the difference in my strength and Sora has gone too far, it seems that he has increased his strength, whatever it is" said Asumi.

"seen from the level of his strength, it seemed like he was absorbing the strength and soul of the demons" the light countered

"it explains that she had accidentally absorbed her brother's own soul" Asumi said, looking up at the sky as if imagining a big event.

"i have a question.Why are you still with me?, aren't you a light?" asumi asked as she continued to stare towards the sky

"light is a bond that will be passed on to every generation.My task is simply to follow the story of the lives of the chosen people in each generation" the light returned to Asumi.

"generation...?" ask Asumi

"you and Sora are the chosen ones of this generation, between you and Sora.It's like the two lead characters in a fairy tale" the light returned.

"i understand, if one of the main characters dies, then there will be a substitute character who fills the main role, right?" ask Asumi who has started to understand

"it's interesting, but it's not that death is the reason for my transfer to another body, this life is spinning, the story that begins will invite me by itself" the light replied

"i understand." said Asumi nodding.

Switch to the present, in the house where Hijiri lives

"why are you so selfish.?, you keep defending a traitor?" ask Hijiri to Aria

"i'm not sure Asumi really intends to do it, she is a good person" Aria replied as she continued to defend what Asumi was doing

"do you not understand at all?, such a person does not deserve to be pitied" Hijiri replied to Aria

"you don't understand, Asumi also felt the same way as you.she also felt that she had been lied to by all of us" Aria said in reply to Hijiri's words.

Hijiri then fell silent for a moment, then stared at the window

While adjusting her breathing, Hijiri slowly turned her gaze to Aria, looked at her sharply and asked

"you continue to defend Asumi.against all her faults, you still insist that she is innocent...Aria, don't don't you this is actually." asked Hijiri looking at Aria sharply with a serious expression.

Aria's face flushed red, she was speechless and could only turn her eyes towards Tartarus who was still lying
