Chapter 1152 Let's Have A Talk
-----
Once we walked out of the capsules with Eleanora, who seemed remorseful she was no longer physical anymore, I looked at my friends. They were all sleeping soundly over the couch, none of them had yet to even wake up.
Their bodies will probably hurt once they wake up, but well, that's none of my business anyways. They were the ones that wanted to get so drunk they almost died... These ancient humans from this Earth planet, they're sure strange.
"I guess they won't wake up then."
I covered their bodies with some blankets and then made my way back to my room, where I sat down there, cross-legged.
Hendrick and Eleanora were with me as well, trying to concentrate in what I was going to do.
"Hendrick, did you disable all the cameras and microphones here?" I asked him.
The entire house was riddled with security systems directly connected to the main frame, so someone else was spying us.
But well, where wouldn't someone spy us? This entire spaceship had cameras everywhere.
"Yes master, I've tempered them to show reproduce videos of you doing mundane things, it wasn't hard at all! My powers are quite convenient!"
"Well done," I nodded.
This way, there will be nobody spying on us ever again, while they foolishly believe everything is fine, completely clueless about the truth.
"Now that we're done with all of that, the next step is to talk with the little guest we have inside of my Core," I said. "I know you two are there as well, kind of like connected, working similarly to a Spirit Orb yet not... So we'll do the same with this and summon what's inside."
"She doesn't want to speak or come out?" Hendrick asked.
"I believe she might be exhausted," I said. "But I don't care, she has to talk and explain things, and I won't wait for her recovery. We barely have four days to finish this. I need information now."
"Indeed, she was the one that wanted to him so badly, so she has to also repay him with at the very least some proper explanations!" Eleanora nodded, agreeing with me.
"I don't care if you're tired, at the very least you'll explain us something," I said. "And I won't let you rest until then."
"Uuh, so cruel..." she cried. "I thought that you were a nice and gentle hero as the Child of Ether but... you're quite evil."
"You want me to permanently drag you out of my core?" I asked her with a calm smile.
"A-Ah! No, wait..." she muttered. "I'll explain... haahh..."
She quickly sat down; her electricity didn't seem to burn anything somehow.
"I am one of the fragments of the "soul" as you would call it, of my real body," she said. "You call me Neutonium Cores, right? That's what I am, the biggest of them. I am the Ether Mother... I come from a faraway planet. And... well..." she yawned. "Um... What was I talking about?"
"Did you just forget?" I asked her.
"No I just... Hmm, well, to put it in a way for you, it is as if your brain had been split into three pieces and sealed elsewhere," she muttered. "So even if one piece is freed, I am still missing... so much of myself."
"So you're truly aliens..." said Eleanora. "Can you see me?"
"I can, yes," the girl said. "And that weird spider guy as well."
"Ah... despite being an alien so ancient, you sure like to speak like a young girl," I said.
"I've absorbed information from the Virtual Matrix... which is made out of my own Soul to begin with," she muttered. "I've learned a lot about you humans... your customs... your ways of speaking, a lot... It even helped me develop a deeper... sense of self."
"So you're not angry they're using you as fuel?" asked Eleanora.
"Hmm, anger has never been an emotion my kind experienced before, so no," she said. "But fear is one, and I feared losing myself. The more time passed, the more the pieces of my soul became wider and spread out further, making my own sense of self... melt, and dissipate."
"So who cut your consciousness and soul into three pieces?" I asked her. "And it's true that it is all inside of that virtual game?"
"Yes, it is that one... game..." she muttered. "And the one that did it? I guess they're the people you call... the Elders. Long ago, they found me, and upon the realization of... my consciousness, they decided to seal it away, so they would be able to evade future problems."
