It has been a month, and it has been a peaceful time. Sadly for me, all of my rolls are useless. Well… It is not useless. I receive stock for a big company and multi-millions of assets from the gacha, but it will not help me in the supernatural world.
It does help my family back home because I make sure to send them a portion of my money. However, they are too stubborn to move away from their farming life and decide to stay there. At least the supernatural organization back home is willing to monitor my parents and ensure they are always healthy.
However, the past month has not been without any activity. The new world takes a good chunk of my time. Zelretch decides to make me the new leader of the Youkai Races in that new world. The reason? It looks like the world they are from, their previous guardian is a dragon, and with me, almost a dragon, they are more accepting of my word than Zelretch.
Lucky for me, I do not need to be a real leader. I only need to be a figurehead and let them manage themselves like the previous dragon. My words are still absolute, but they will be independent.
Because of this, it is rather easy to handle them. With the help of Yasaka, we are able to create a village for them and create a barrier that will prevent mundane people from noticing. Zelretch will be the one tweaking the barrier to further his plan for that world. As long as he does not endanger the people inside, I don't mind him doing whatever he wants to do.
I have also been busy doing my job as a Sage of two worlds. This world is already on its own to heal itself, but Zelretch's world is a different matter. It is healing very slowly and should not be a problem to leave it alone, but it can change quickly if humans do something stupid.
Because of this, I spend most of my time in that world. Slowly but surely, I heal the planet and heal it back to its primordial state. There is a time when I am afraid of making the timeline be pruned, but Zelretch tells me that it is impossible because the pruning effect can only happen to branch timelines, not the prime timeline. Only something very horrendous is happening to make the prime timeline get pruned. If that happens, the entire tree of timelines will go down with it.
That is why Zelretch and all of his alternate selves make sure the other tree does not fall. He might not be able to reach the other tree, but he can send messages and memories to help them.
Anyway, because of this news, I do not hold back. Using my full power, I start to wash the world. I purify it and release the purified energy back to the world, healing it. The planet itself is eager to give me all its negative energy, but this time, it is understood that too much of it will be bad for me.
It still gives me a lot of them, but it is now not to the point of me needing to push my body and soul to the limit, not to get turned into stone or worse, my soul destroyed.
Because of the massive amount of Natural Energy I need to purify, the planet gives a lot of it back to me. Each time I've done my job, I receive a lot of boost from the planet, and because of my new body as an Ether Liner, I can take a lot of the natural energy the planet gives me without a problem.
The downside? I become close to the planet and its counterpart in the greater universe. I have become so close that I can feel the mood of the planet clearly now.
And they have an extreme mood swing. At one moment, they are kind and want to create life, but the next second, they want to destroy all life on their bodies.
The jump is so extreme.
At least they always treat me as one of their children. Hell, if my reading is correct, they think of me as their favorite child because I successfully fulfilled their dream of healing. It is like seeing an Asian Mom who is bragging about their oldest child being a doctor or something.
But crank that to twenty out of ten. That should be impossible, right? Tell that to the heat-seeking sandal. That should be impossible, but it is happening.
Right! Let's not dwell on childhood trauma.
Anyway, I can suppress that and only feel the most urgent 'notification' that will reach me. At least the planet is understanding and tries not to bother me too much, but sadly, I am tied to Earth and all of its alternate selves, so I know what they are feeling.
Surprisingly, only the newest Earth is the calmest one. According to Zelretch, that is because Earth 3 does not have any mystic presence, which is why there are tears in space that allow the Kaiju invasion.
Without the protection of the planet's consciousness, the Solar System is now an easy target for a race that can use space and time capabilities. Not only that, a high-tech civilization also easily finds the solar system because consciousness does not mask the solar system from all kinds of probing tech.
I can still feel the planet 'alive' but unlike this world and the nasuverse, it does not have consciousness.
What about the world where I once was? Like Fairy Tail and Skyrim. Well, those are not Earth. I have a strong connection to Earth, and those are not Earth. The Fairy Tail world is called Earth Land, and Skyrim is called Nirn.
That is why I only have a connection to three Earths at the moment.
|It has been a week! Your gift is ready! Do you want to take it?|
|Accept?| |Y/N|
It has been a week since my last roll, huh? Oh well. I press the accept button. However, as I press the Y button, I feel something I thought I would never experience again. A massive rush of knowledge enters my head, and there is a lot of it.
I gain knowledge about technology and magic. However, unlike magic in this world, this magic is corrosive for normal humans and some of the supernatural races.
After a few seconds, the pounding headache slowly disappears, and I can breathe easily. I release a sigh, even though the headaches are still there. I look at the floating screen, showing what I got.
|Congratulations! You receive the knowledge of the entire YoRHa Technology!|
Yeah, right. The screen does not tell you that includes how to use Maso or the Grain, the Raw Ether. That's right, the particle from the Queen Beast of the Drakengard Universe is a Grain, the Particle that made the Celestial Bodies.
I gained combined technological and magical knowledge from NieR and NieR: Automata. This encompasses a deep understanding of advanced androids, futuristic weaponry, and the enigmatic powers of Maso.
"URGH"
I grunt in pain as something appears inside my head. It is a call. A desperate call from a dying planet to me. It is Earth, and because of my new 'power', I gain another connection, and this Earth is Nier Earth.
It is dying, and when it connects to me, it desperately calls for my help.
It is dying and needs me to kill the aliens. Not the alien race, but rather their creation, the Machine Lifeform.
"Ryan! Are you okay?! Your soul is shaking!"
I can hear Grandeeney's voice in my head, asking about my situation. Usually, it is Akatosh who is the first one to notify me about something, but he is busy with Alduin and Dovakiin back home.
"I-I am fine, Grandeeney. A-Another Earth is calling for my help, and it is very loud. I-I need to call for Zelretch."
I take out the phone Zelretch created to communicate through the Kaleidoscope and call his number. After a few seconds, he picked it up.
"Hoy~ Hoy~ What's up, Ryan?"
"Zelretch! I-I need your help!"
Instead of saying something, a portal appears, and I can see Zelretch walk through the portal.
"Ryan! What's happening?"
He kneels next to me and starts to cast spells to check on me.
"I got another power, and this power came from another Earth. This Earth is dying and screaming at me to help it. It is young. It awakens after a few hundred years of human extinction."
"What? How? How is that worldline not pruned?"
"We can talk later. For now, can you access my soul and memory? I need to go to that place and answer the call so the planet stops screaming at me."
"Right."
I feel a cold feeling knocking into my mind and soul. I let it in and let Zelretch do his scanning. After a few seconds, it disappears, and Zelretch looks into the distance. I let him do whatever he is doing, and after a few minutes, he looks at me and frowns.
"What a foul worldline. Alien God? Alien Race? And now, self-replicating machines."
"Do you have access to that worldline's Kaleidoscope?"
"Yes, and I hate it. Are you sure you want to help that world? I can cut the tie between you and that planet, you know? It looks like your power only takes from one of the timelines and not as a whole."
"No. I know that world and I want to help it."
"If you say so. At least your new body will not get this so-called disease, the White Chlorination Syndrome. As an Ether Liner, you are immune and even benefit from it. However, if you want to help the planet, you need to make the Grain disappear from the planet's surface."
"I know, and I will think about it later. For now, I want to give hope to the androids fighting for the humanity that died. They still think there are humans on the moon and need to prove their creators and gods exist."
Zelretch smiles a little at that and says.
"Yeah. I understand. Do you want to prepare first?"
"No. The screaming gets louder the longer I stay here. I can block some of it, but it will get louder. I need to go there to make it stop."
"Right."
He opens a portal for me and says.
"I will help you gather all you need. Be careful there. Even though that world is on the weaker side, there are still exotic elements that make me wary."
"Roger."
I nod and walk through the portal. As I walk through the portal, endless sand greets me.
