Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 177 - 170: Her true Identity

Katherinaʼs mansion.

Currently, Katherina was fuming, she had just learned that Alex visited her sisterʼs mansion Artemiaʼs mansion.

ʼʼI was sure of it. Why do want to snatch something I have my eyes on little sister? You are plotting to have him help you get the throne?” Katherina wondered. She was not pleased with the fact that Artemia made a move by inviting Alex into her mansion.

Even if Artemia is her sister, she was not able to read her. No, nobody was able to know what she thinks, not even their father. It was as if she existed here but was far beyond their reach at the same time. She didnʼt like to interact with others too much except for her deceased mother and Priscilla.

Even so, she was the most beautiful, not only because of how talented, how smart she was but also because of her beauty. Sheʼs the pearl of the Drexia Empire, the most beautiful woman of all empires and kingdoms. If she wants something people would do anything to grant her what she wants, it was why Katherina feared her. What if she decided to compete for the throne?

Most of the current ministers, most of the nobles will support her if she decided to compete for the throne and when you add Alex on the top of it, it was a guarantee that sheʼd become the next Empress.

Katherina had the feeling that in near future every force in the lands would become frantic to win over Alexander Kael Touch. This wasnʼt a hunch. It wasnʼt a belief, either It was a prophecy. He was beyond special. Someone chosen by Elseria must be a nobody, she had already secured him. She had never done something like this in the past, this showed that she had seen something other havenʼt.

Even today, the Silent Princess a.k.a Artemia invited Alex over to her mansion, this was not a coincidence, she must also have seen something.

Leonardo and others were special but, to Katherina, Alex was more than that. If this was a story Alex would be without doubt the MC.

She had just learned how he was hailed as Hero of Eriaʼs city because he had sacrificed himself to let his fellow party members escape. He faced a AA rank monster and did not die, he only lost an eye. It what people mistakenly thought when they saw him wear an eye patch.

ʼI should have secured him in our first meeting and yet. How foolish.ʼ Katherina lamented.

There was no use crying over spilled milk.

What she needs to do now was to think of a way to win Alex over before her sister snatches him away.

ʼʼWhat should I do? Apologies? Honey traps?”

Katherina wondered before she heaved a long sigh.

ʼʼAmy will help me collect some information. Iʼll make moves soon. I must also visit the academy.ʼʼ she decided, she summoned one of the shadow guards and informed him of Amyʼs next mission.

Alex was already back in his villa. After eating and telling his sister about Artemia. He was now inside his bedroom.

ʼʼSilveria, what do you think about Artemia?”

Silveria materialized, sitting on the bed she said. ʼʼEven if she didnʼt tell you everything I can say that she told you the essential, sheʼs pretty honest. I appreciate this type of girl. You should interact with her to see whether or not sheʼs worthy of your trust. As for what she said itʼs indeed true. They will need your help to fight the enemy responsible for Mysthia current state.ʼʼ

ʼʼYou mean Elseria isnʼt it?” Alex asked.

ʼʼIndeed I mean her. Not just her, lot of people will fight if not-” she stopped until there.

ʼʼIf not what?” Alex looked at her in the eyes.

Silveria sighed, ʼʼThe world will be destroyed.ʼʼ she stated.

ʼʼWhat?” Alexʼs eyes widened, say that he expected this type of answer would be a lie. It was like someone dropped a bomb. His head buzzed.

ʼʼWhy? Who is that powerful? Why they need my help?” He asked.

Silveria couldnʼt help but sigh heavily.

ʼʼYou have not seen powerful individuals, powerful entities yet. Pray not to encounter them, the current one is a fake yet, this fake was able to curse an almost Higher grade world. The true monster have destroyed the Original world, the supreme being first creation. Forget it, knowing more at your current level will burden you.

It will occupy all your mind forcing you to become restless in the pursuit of power. You need to grow step by step, not to jump. There are a lot of things you will come to learn as you become stronger, a lot of truths about the world that not even some powerful people will not know.ʼʼ

ʼʼIs it because Iʼm the owner of you two?” Alex asked because it was the only reason he could think of.

ʼʼYes.ʼʼ Silveriaʼs answer was immediate.

Before Alex could say something she continued, ʼʼNot only you but Maria, Sakuya, Luna, Leonardo. All of you who have reincarnated. You didnʼt think that youʼve been reincarnated for no reason I hope?”

Alex was not surprised hearing her question, even though Goddess Mea had said to live their lives happily, saying she had no expectations for them, Alex knew it was bullshit, this was not your typical reincarnation, all of them received powerful Gift. There must be a reason for this to happen, if not normal Gift will do and yet it was not what they received.

You donʼt give someone something powerful without a reason.

Leonardo and his crew may have believed Goddess Mea but Alex, Maria did not believe her. It was like someone gave you the power to live happily however once the world will be in danger to not lose your happy life you will fight. Whether you want it or not you will step out and fight to not lose your current lifestyle. It was a pretty devious plan.

ʼʼIʼll take your silence for being aware that it wasnʼt the case. Something big is coming, you all will be in the center of it because you contracted with us. Itʼs good that you are aware of it, the others are not. People like Leonardo, too lost in their world to ask themselves why he received such a powerful Gift. I may not be too fond of Arthur but currently, I feel pity.

Heʼs unlucky to be contracted to someone like Leonardo, heʼs not worthy of such powerful Gift.ʼʼ Silveria lamented.

Alex smiled wryly,

ʼʼYou are not too fond of Arthur because of his previous master isnʼt it?” He asked, he was trying to understand the reason for Silveriaʼs dislike toward Arthur.

ʼʼIndeed itʼs because of his previous master. This fellow is too unlucky, to begin with.ʼʼ

Silveria said not going into the details.

Alex did not push for more either as he knew now wasnʼt the time.

He was more concerned about the future enemy, he started asking himself if he was not too weak, what to do to become stronger faster.

Silveria watched him with a sigh, it was what she feared, Alexʼs current state. It was not too good. She decided to divert his attention for now.

ʼʼMaster, Youʼre not asking yourself what kind of reincarnated individual Artemia is?”

The sudden question stopped Alex from continuing to ponder what he needs to do to gain power.

ʼʼI donʼt think sheʼs reincarnated from Earth. Which left us with the only possibility that she may come from the past or maybe future,ʼʼ he said.

ʼʼI see. Your explanation does make sense. Do you remember the name of Gods and Goddesses of this world?” Silveria asked.

Alex stayed silent for a moment before saying,

ʼʼI only remember the name of the Goddesses:

Typhania, the Elveʼs Goddess, Lunaʼs, the Goddess of the Beastmen, Lilith, the Goddess of the demon and Artemia, the Goddess of the human race, wait.ʼʼ

ʼʼDonʼt tell, sheʼs the reincarnated goddess of the human race? How this possible?” Alex asked, disbelief written all over his face. He didnʼt dare to believe in this conjecture, however, the more he denies it, the more evident this becomes.

If this is true doesnʼt it mean that others Goddess may have also reincarnated? Alex wondered.

ʼʼI donʼt know what happened but I believe it is the only plausible explanation. As for whether or not there is another reincarnated Goddess I canʼt say for sure. Maybe only Artemia is special. Interesting, this world is not simple as it seems, no wonder they have chosen it.ʼʼ Silveria murmured.

Alex was too focused on thinking about how Artemia was able to reincarnate after her death to be able to hear Silveriaʼs last words. He was thinking about a certain possibility, if Artemia reincarnated, there must be another reincarnated Goddess, like Typhania for example, Artemia had let something slip early.

Does Elseria is the reincarnated Elveʼs Goddess? Alex wondered before shaking his head, denying this thinking. From what he learned, Elseria is an old monster, at least over 200 years old, so she couldnʼt be the reincarnation of the Elf Goddess, even though Elseria appears to be mysterious, Alex did not believe that she was related to the Elf Goddess.
