A woman wearing a pure black gown, one that contrasted with her pure white hair and skin, lay on a couch while fiddling around with a phone in her hands.
The gown was decorated with various jewels and precious stones of unknown worth, and its cost alone could buy out the richest n of most galaxies, more than three tis over.
Her upturned eyes that glowed with a small silver light looked towards the door of the room she was in.
Seconds later, it opened as a man walked in. He looked elderly, with white hair and a white beard. His dull grey eyes seed to shine with the wisdom of countless years.
He spoke to the woman in a dry voice.
"Did you go see him?"
"Huh? How did you know? I was sure we were out of your reach."
He pointed at her black gown and replied.
"You only wear that when you go to et him."
The woman glanced at her clothes and realised that she was still wearing the pure black gown decorated with jewels and precious stones.
"Ohh, I see."
She replied dryly and continued playing on her phone. A few seconds later, she spoke up.
"So? You didn’t co here to ask about my eting with soone who is ant to be our enemy, right?"
The man looked at her in silence before asking.
"Just what are the two of you hiding?"
"Things that you are better off not knowing, now state your reason for coming here already."
Seeing the woman was growing impatient, the man decided to finally say why he ca over.
"In the last eting, you said to activate the systems in that cluster?"
"Ah, activate the devour class system for all of them."
Her words resulted in an expression of shock on the man’s face, and he asked with a still slightly surprised voice.
"Devour Class? Why?"
Not even sparing him a glance, the woman replied.
"So we can have more potential candidates."
The man nodded in affirmation at her words, but he still held so objections.
"But even so, devour class is too much, aren’t the auxiliary class systems better?"
"They are good but not fast enough."
"Okay, so what should be the level limit?"
The woman finally stopped playing on her phone and wore a pensive look on her face. After a few monts of silence, she grinned mischievously and said.
"Hundred thousand?"
"Hundred what now?!"
She chuckled at the man’s obviously surprised tone, realising she was only teasing him. The man cleared his throat and spoke.
"Be serious."
"Fine, a thousand."
The man nodded in affirmation and was about to walk away, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. Noticing this, the woman called out to him.
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing much, just a failed experint of yours calling out to .
When are you going to retrieve that avatar you left there?"
"Avatar? Failed experint?"
She looked down at the ground, and her eyes flashed for a mont, and in the next, a mischievous grin crept up her face.
"Ohh, I know not when I shall retrieve it, ’oh ye who governs all wisdom and knowledge’."
The man clicked his tongue in indignation and left the room, leaving behind the woman who was chuckling to herself.
◇ ◇ ◇
At a certain point in the chaotic void, a being who was floating in space turned to look at a group of universes that were suddenly covered with the essence of the law of knowledge.
The being was dressed in all black, with a hood above their head obscuring their face from sight.
Two dots, glowing in an iridescent light, could be seen from inside the hood as the being thought about what the denizens of those universes were currently going through.
||For. Balance.||
The being spoke those two words, their gender being indiscernible from their voice, before waving their hands and causing a small spatial rift to appear.
Entering into that rift, the being drifted away into the cosmos far beyond.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Huh?"
"Haaa?!"
"Since when?"
Alexia, Ethan and Kelly all let out surprised voices. That was natural, after all, they never expected to see what they were all currently seeing.
[Welco to Tivia]
[Registering External Existence.....]
It was a system ssage.
This ant that so sort of system currently existed in Tivia, one that did not exist the last ti the trio ca here.
Alexia and Ethan turned to look at Kelly for an explanation, but even she was just as confused as they were.
The reason for her confusion, however, differed from theirs.
While they were surprised that there was suddenly a system in Tivia, she was surprised because the system was activated almost a thousand years before schedule.
’I wasn’t inford of this, which can only an one of the higher-ups took action personally.’
Coming to a conclusion on her own, she blatantly ignored the questioning stares that Alexia and Ethan were giving her.
’I can’t let them realise I didn’t know about it too.’
Unfortunately, it was a bit too late for that.
"You said ’Since when?’ right? That ans you also didn’t know about this."
Alexia and Ethan had already heard her words of surprise earlier.
"Tsk....Fine, I didn’t know, but that’s only because ’they’ took action personally, okay? I normally know about these kinds of things."
Alexia rolled her eyes at Kelly and looked at the information board floating in front of her eyes.
[Registration Complete!]

She tapped the ’Y’, and after a few seconds, her status was displayed in front of her.

Looking at the information on the board floating in front of her, Alexia’s eyebrows twitched.
’Oh, they definitely got my condition right.’
She clicked her tongue and manipulated her energy, preventing the system from reading any more information about her.
"Your superiors seem to be unable to understand the concept of ’privacy’."
She spoke to Kelly, however, the latter wasn’t even listening.
"Impossible, I knew it was so bad that I lost count, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad."
She was staring into thin air with an empty gaze, most likely looking at her status board while muttering to herself.
’Perhaps...?!’
Alexia grinned evilly and decided to take advantage of her listless state. She waved her hands, and ambient energies flowed.
For soone like Alexia, who could easily stop the system that encompassed an entire universe from reading her information, interfering with another being’s status board was child’s play for her.
For a short mont, a blue board beca visible to both Alexia and Ethan.
Kelly, who realised what Alexia was trying to do, snapped out of her daze and used her own energy to stop Alexia’s interference.
Unfortunately, she was too late once again.
"Did you see?"
Staring at Kelly’s teary eyes, Alexia coughed awkwardly before replying.
"I happened to notice 8 figures in the age section, nothing more, nothing less."
At her words, Kelly turned paler and paler until she eventually broke down crying.
Looking at this scene, Ethan could not understand the reason for Kelly’s behaviour.
’I’m tens of thousands of years old myself, but I ain’t crying about it, what’s with won and their ages?’
Of course, Ethan would never understand how a single woman whose age had 8 figures would ever feel.
◇ ◇ ◇
An elderly looking man ca out of a realm gate and looked up at the sky. He caught the appearances of three figures on a nearby hill.
’Hmm, the candidate girl? And Ke-, ...her watcher?
Can’t let that one notice , it’d be troubleso to deal with her now.’
He wondered what the trio were doing there and was thinking about going to et them later when one of them was not there, but a sound he heard disrupted his thoughts.
He looked in front of him to see a status board floating, unlike Alexia’s, his was full of glitches.

The mont it displayed up to that point, the man clicked his tongue in annoyance.
The ambient energies around him reacted to that action and prevented the system from reading anything about him again, and even the few letters it managed to read were replaced with errors.
’Tsk....I just went into that secret realm for a few decades, and this happens?!’
The man turned around and teleported away almost instantly.
"Just where in the Cosmos are those six old fools?"
He voiced out that last thought before disappearing.
