The Overworld Universe's
Episode 23: The universe-eating creature

The villagers finally managed to finish the ship project and rest, Sora approached his friend and saw Asumi was moody, he then tried to ask her the situation

"What's Asumi?, there's a problem?" Sora asked Asumi who was moody

"Oh, I feel like there's going to be something going on, maybe a disaster or whatever" Asumi told Sora

"Tartarus already said that the disaster was a sinking village." Sora replied to Asumi.

"I still felt something strange.I suddenly felt like there was something more terrible than that" Asumi added.

"It's just your feeling, right now the ship is finished.I still don't know if Zeorus will attack again or not.we have to be careful"

"I know that, it is likely that Zeorus is preparing a new plan to destroy us." Hijiri said as he approached them.

"Asumi..your feelings are very natural..."

"Thank you..." Asumi and Hijiri embrace as a sign of their friendship that has begun to improve

Tartarus who was conducting surveillance there also came and approached

"Asumi, I think, everything has gone according to destiny" said Tartarus while unmasking him.

"Aria..you look like you want to say something, what's up?" Ask Lelia

"There's nothing.maybe it's just your feelings" Aria replied with a reddened face, she immediately turned around and looked for something she could work on

"Dwelling...Aria, long time no see" their father and mother arrived and greeted them

"Mother..dad? long time no see" Hijiri walked towards the two then hugged them, as well as Aria

"Eeh.tumben you call mother by mother" ledek Hijiri's father.

"I'm sorry, when I was a child, right?.." Hijiri replied with a small laugh

Asumi noticed them and began to get sadder, she felt that she missed her parents, she wanted to see them

"Asumi, do you miss your parents too?" Ask Sora

Asumi nodded with a slight smile, Sora returned the nod with a smile

"I think so too" said Sora.

"One of you will soon meet them" said Tartarus in a heavy tone

"Mom and dad are alive?" Asumi and Sora asked inwardly

Tartarus was just silent, he was like hiding something, Tartarus then turned around and saw the mysterious man who always terrorized Asumi from a distance

The man then disappeared suddenly

Tartarus turned his head and continued his work without saying anything

Asumi and Sora then looked at each other with faces of confusion

Tartarus and his army kept watch over the surroundings, there were no enemies

Asumi and her friend decided to take a break

In the evening, they held a celebration to celebrate their togetherness after some time completing the giant ship project, that night, all the villagers under the light of the lights that twinkled.

They all enjoy the fruits of their labor, some chat, eat together, play together.

Some of them decided to light the fireworks, Asumi and Sora were sitting next to each other in the light, with Hijiri, Aria and Lelia currently enjoying this festive night.

With the exception of Asumi and Sora who missed both her parents, Aria occasionally tried to stare at Asumi and turn her gaze in the other direction.

in the midst of Asumi's grief, Tartarus comes and advises Asumi and Sora

"listen, don't wait until this happiness is over you want to start it.Forget your problem for a moment" Tartarus said.

Asumi and Sora smiled hearing that, they then tried to participate in this happy moment, Asumi was very happy that night.

He never felt that anyone cared about him other than in this place

One by one their smiling faces were happily enjoying the night

Doing all activities together to strengthen their friendship

Do prayer activities together and put each other's hope into a paper that is put into a bottle and then thrown into the ocean.

Asumi hopes to meet her parents

Sora hopes to always be lucky in every way

Lelia wrote of the hope that one day she could meet new people out there

Hijiri hopes to be reunited with his old friend in the village he was in before

While Aria hopes that one day Asumi can be more familiar with her

Tartarus also hopes that one day he can try various foods from around the world

They all put their secret hopes and began to guess each other's hopes

Without them knowing, from a distance the mysterious man who always terrorizes Asumi (we name him "Dark Side")

He also made a request, he wrote down his request to complete his task perfectly

No matter what task he meant, clearly, he was completely unaware of his existence by anyone there

for Asumi, that night was the best night of her life, they all hoped that their hope would be fulfilled as soon as possible

The next morning, Asumi awakens and is shocked by the arrival of Aria who brings him food

"Eh?, what's up?" Asumi asked Aria

Asumi accepted that with a smile, she was very happy

"I guess..thank you, you didn't stop by for a second?, this morning I'm gonna make some tea..."

"No need, I was in a hurry" said Aria immediately left in a hurry

"Good neighbors." Asumi said in her heart.

One of Asumi's neighbors then looked at Asumi with an envious face.

Asumi returned her neighbor's gaze by playing one of her eyebrows up and down quickly many times and then walked into the house while lifting the package as if she wanted to show off the package to her neighbor

"Damn it, the boy got the attention of a beautiful girl" Asumi's neighbor was annoyed and walked into the house

Asumi looks very happy when eating the food, not because of the attention of Aria, but because it tastes very good

While eating, Asumi thought about how to repay the kindness of the Hijiri family to her

The next day...

Asumi then tried cooking, cooking anything she could cook

With potluck ingredients, he can create a very tasty cuisine (no wonder because he was independent from the beginning)

Asumi then came out of her house carrying a bag of food in a container, when she was about to close the door, she saw her neighbors also came out of the house.

He noticed that his neighbors also carried a bag containing something, they looked at each other, looking at each other's pockets.

After a while, they continued to look at the face of astonishment, the two then left, but they were always on the same 1 lane.

On the road, Asumi keeps guessing nebak, where the destination of this neighbor actually is

Neighbor Asumi also tried to guess the purpose of Asumi, until they finally arrived at a house simultaneously.

They stopped and looked at each other

"What did you bring?" Ask the neighbors of Asumi

"Tell me first, what are you carrying?" Ask Asumi

"No, no." said the neighbor.

Asumi then turned her gaze towards the house that was in front of her

The neighbor then stepped towards the house first, after saying his greetings, someone opened the door

Asumi was seen holding back a laugh at the spot where she was standing at that moment

The neighbor was confused, then turned his head and was shocked to see a little boy opening the door

"Thank you uncle, you're a good neighbor" the boy said as he grabbed a bag of food belonging to neighbor Asumi, then turned around and looked at Asumi.

Holding back a laugh, Asumi then turned the other way then ran and laughed loosely

"Damn it.he tricked me.." swore the neighbor inwardly in an annoyed tone.

Asumi finally reached Hijiri's house, bringing her the food she made this morning, which happened to be still warm.

Hijiri received the food and thanked her, Aria came out of the kitchen and saw Asumi being at the door with her sister

Sora comes with Lelia and greets Asumi

"Eh...usually you're just at your house, Asumi...What's the matter now?" Ask Sora

"No, just bring this food as a thank you, the food your mother sent was delicious.I love it"

"Mother cooks?.but I don't think you ever send.." Hijiri's speech suddenly cut off when he realized something

Hijiri looked back and saw Aria, Aria who was surprised suddenly acted strangely, looking like a misbehaved person.

Hijiri began to understand with his sister's attitude, he just smiled thinly

Elsewhere, Tartarus and his army detect a great movement from space to earth, the Tartarus army all working together to ascertain what this thing is.

"It's a strange movement, it's high-speed, but it's still a long way off" Tartarus said

"Are you able to detect that far?"

"Of course not, it's just that the frequency produced by this object is so great that no matter how blunt my sensory abilities, I can still feel it from any distance"

"So, when do you think this thing will arrive?"

"About another 48 hours, I said that because despite the high speed, this thing looks like it stopped at various points"

"Did this thing just stop for a moment or..."

"No, this thing is moving very slowly, but it has a high speed.I mean it's moving very slowly, but it's traveling very fast"

"This means that this thing is not an inanimate object"

"I think so, this object also seems to move every 3 hours every time to 1 point" added Tartarus

While observing the sky, Tartarus and his army were suddenly surprised by the appearance of many creepy creatures from underground.

Tartarus and his army tried to overcome this chaos, but this creature seemed unable to calm down

The Tartarians fell one by one, and some of them were killed

"Does this creature have its own instincts?." asked one of the Tartarus troops

Tartarus then realized something and looked towards the sky

"is it going to happen a second time?" Tartarus looked at the sky with a tense face
