Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 504: Merasi

A woman entered an elevator and hit the button for the highest floor. Once again, she had news in her hand, one that could shake the entire continent.

She couldnʼt believe that she had to be the one to deliver that information to the lord.

The door of the elevator opened, and she walked out of it. She walked up to the door of the room where the lord of the tower remained and knocked on it.

”Your majesty, I have some news,” the woman spoke from outside the door.

”Come in,” a voice came from inside. The door opened on its own, and the woman walked in.

”What is going on, Lira?” he asked the tone of his voice a little anxious.

”We… we just got a report, your highness. A kid from the Freelands has apparently learned how to create Aether,” the woman said in a rushed voice.

”What?” the lord looked surprised. Lira was surprised to see that look as well. The lord never looked surprised.

”Is that true?” the lordʼs booming voice woke Lira up from her thoughts.

”Thatʼs what the transmission said, your majesty,” the woman said. ”It came from the Marian region of the Freelands, and Waxil, the Head of the tower there sent the information.”

”Creating Aether… how is that even possible?” the lord fell into thought. He just couldnʼt believe it.

”Your majesty?” the woman asked again.

”Ah right, uhh… which one of the Supremes is currently awake?” he asked.

”Lady Merasi woke up 3 years ago. She had yet to go back to sleep,” Lira said.

”Merasi? Tell her to go there, but make her keep herself in check. Donʼt let her go finding other Saints and Supremes to fight when she goes there,” the lord said.

”Yes, your majesty,” Lira said. That was one thing she wouldnʼt have to worry about. A place like the Freelands would have no Aether experts that could get Merasi to want to fight.

But just to be sure, Lira would still give her the direct order from the Lord.

Ning returned from… somewhere. It wasnʼt that he didnʼt know where he returned from, but rather the place he had returned from didnʼt have a name.

It was just a spot in the middle of the ocean, or rather, at the bottom of the ocean.

If anything, he would call this place the closest place he could find to Origin that was sealed away in some folded space around there.

Surprisingly, Ning wasnʼt wet at all. Despite coming from the bottom of the ocean, not a single drop of water had landed on him.

Using reverse gravity upon himself to create a vacuum around him had been surprisingly successful. Although he couldnʼt breathe during this duration, if he focused enough, he could directly create air onto his lungs which he would then just have to exhale.

Exhaling without inhaling was a weird feeling that Ning thought everyone should experience sometime.

Although he would understand if people didnʼt want to go through the deathly experience he had been through not seconds later.

If not for teleporting in time, he wouldʼve likely had to remake another body and restart his Aether absorption.

That wouldʼve set him back a little.

It was early in the morning and he needed to go back to the Tower for his work. His plan to work his way up the tower to become the lord of the tower had because of his current findings, been accelerated by a very fast amount.

He was supposed to train for a year before even finding work at the tower to slowly make his way up position to fight the lord in 5 years, but… just half a year later he was going to come into contact with someone from the headquarters.

Ning expected it to be a random King or Emperor who would come to check his claims, but that was still having his name be known in the headquarters.

Ning made his way to the tower, with many thoughts in his mind. He thought about how to bring this whole situation to his advantage.

”Maybe there are—”

Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind push him from behind. No, there was something pulling him from in front of him.

A miniature black hole, the size of a glass marble appeared not far away from Ning, right in front of the Aether tower.

Normal civilians were starting to get dragged into the pulling force of the black hole, and Ning had to use his telekinesis to stop them from getting pulled in.

Suddenly, the anomaly in space disappeared, and a woman appeared in front of him.

When Ning saw this woman, he could really only think of one word in his mind.

Muscles.

He felt like he was looking at Vilmoreʼs strongest female bodybuilder.

Her hair was red like embers that were tied in a high ponytail. Her face looked tame, unlike her body which could only be described with the word muscular.

Her skin was so tanned that it almost looked dark brown. There were some white tan-lines that showed her original skin color.

She wore a Purple and black coat and pants, the dressing of someone from the Aether tower.

Ning gulped when he saw her. He had met many people in this world and all of them he could look straight in the eyes. But this woman… if he were to look at her straight on, he would be looking at her chest.

She was at least a head taller than him.

ʼDamn, is she close to 7 foot tall or what?ʼ he looked at her in shock. Everyone looked at her in shock.

The woman ignored the peopleʼs gaze and looked around as if searching for something.

At the same time, Ning used Aether Analysis on her. Suddenly, his head hurt with massive pain. It wasnʼt like the time when he looked at Alexisʼ information, but definitely like the time when he looked at the tower lordʼs information.

He felt a little scared. This woman was above an Aether Saint.

She was an Aether Supreme.
