"I did so experint with so herbs. The Apothecary blows up and the fus of that concoction enters my body"
She paused for a second and then added
"It is not all bad. It gives a glimpse of my future path and it also helps create my Disk. That mistake was able to let reflect and that is gain enough"
She chuckles but Sofia is not in the mood to laugh
Sina then added
"Though, I would have so difficulty in breathing every now and then. And my energy sotis beco disordered"
"Other than that, I am completely fine" Hearing this Sofia could only sigh.
She knows all about Sina obsession with creating pills.
Clearly Sina wanted to create so powerful pill. Sina might be the one with the least guard against her secret.
Of course, this is around her circle of friends. To the world, not many knows how Sina get on board Azief ship and beco one of his closest friends.
The one that knows is mostly people on the top of the world powers like Hirate and Jean.
this did not an that she did not have any secrets.
She has her secrets.
Sofia rember one instance
Sofia once asked her about what she is trying to create especially when Sian still crafting and concocting dicine and pills even after she got her vengeance.
She never told her. Every ti she ask that question, Sina would only smiles without offering any answer.
After a while, Sofia knows not to ask that question again.
Now, looking at her, even though Sina looks mature, there is still a part of her that makes other people worried. Sofia sighs and then shakes her head
"You should tone it down a little" Sina only laughs at this.
Sofia then goes to the window. Near the window there is a small portable radio. She turns it on, and song from the 2000s plays
[The Calling - Wherever You Will Go]
She smiles a little.
"I didn't know they still have records of old songs"
"This music station just got established around a year ago. As for the songs, it is said so of them goes to a different parallel universe that is quite the sa as our Earth before the Fall and basically bought all the music they could find"
Thinking about this Sofia could not help but chuckles a bit.
"Whoever sell that music playlist to those people got a bit of luck that day"
"I heard that they buy it using gold. To that world, gold still has so values. To us, we could simply waves our hand and create gold out of the minerals of the world.
"Huh. Wouldn't they get fined by the World Security Ti Patrol?"
"Thye got permission from the World Governnt and there were all these ti asures taken on them when they go to that world so that they would not create an interdinsional accident"
Hearing this Sina nodded
"Since they could not stop it, the World Security Council simply have to regulate it"
At this Sofia nodded.
Even though most breaches were closed during the Multiversal Convergence, from the mont soone cross to a different parallel universe and other dinsion from Earth, it has already opened the Pandora box.
The barrier of reality was temporarily strengthen by the Orvanians when they bombed it with their reality altering bombs.
But after that, there is still so people that still goes to other dinsion and other parallel universes
These people are called Interdinsional Smuggler.
As the na has aptly described these are people that smuggle things from another dinsion among other places.
Most of the culture before the Fall has been eradicated.
Music's, stories, movies, tv series, normal modern appliances that rarely now has a place in this new world could still be found in other parallel Earths
Before, even though the world power has banned travel to other dinsions, there is so exception to this rule like Wil who could simply pierce through the barriers between world easily and so other people
But after the Multiversal Convergence, most of these travels, especially by people like Will would be notified first.
Will is one of the mbers of the Pandemonium and even though he is rarely in Pandemonium and rarely interferes in the matter of Pandemonium everyone knows that his position in the heart of Death Monarch is quite high
And since that is the case, he has so leeway by going out first before reporting it to the World Security Council
And after the Multiversal Convergence, there is protocol to these things. When soone break through to the barrier between worlds, a cleanup crew would co after to patch these
breaches.
But just because the governnt banned it, does not an that everyone would follow it.
There is many such illegal travel toward other worlds, parallel earths and other dinsion. And that is also the reason why there is so many unregulated items that appears in the world that could beco a problem
Since the world power could not stop it, so they regulate it.
At least now even though the corrosion of the world barriers is still there it could be managed
openly.
There is another silence between these two friends. Sina is only smiling. Sofia smirks
For a mont they enjoy this silence.
Sofai was the one that broke the situation
"It doesn't seem that you ca here to just talk about these things" Sina nodded.
Sina look around and then she approached the window and look outside. She could see the vast grassland and see the many animals and monsters and beast on the ground and the sky
It is a different world with a different vitality. The kind of world that one would think of when they think of a fantasy world.
The sky seems brighter, the colors seems livelier and everything is full of energy. Like the
world was reborn anew.
Like a world that has just co out of existence and everything is new and novel. What Azief
had done changes the trajectory of humanity itself.
"Are you joining the World Governnt?" she suddenly ask
Sofia smiles bitterly
"This ti it is not a social call, after all. You ca here as one of the ministers of
Pandemonium"
Sina nodded.
"You are in World Governnt territory. You hanging out with Hirate. And now you are here,
hunting for them. I....am concerned"
Then she added
"It is not easy crossing the Sea of Fire and I am quite surprised that you are here."
There is silence between them again. Only this ti the silence is more tense. Sofia could
guess the hidden aning of Sina concern
Even though Sofia is not a high-ranking mber of Pandemonium pollical scene, she knew
many things. Secret things
Dangerous things.
And Sina wanted to make sure that she would not speak of it. And Sofia understand Sian
concern.
After all, if she joins the World governnt, she would interact with one of the best mind readers in the world
It is not easy to hide sothing from soone who could read your mind.
There are thods of shielding your mind but Hirate is not so two-bit magician.
He is acknowledged by many as the strongest mind reader in the world.
And strongest here is not referring to his physical strength but to his ability to ss with your
mind
And one of his most famous thod of using this ability of his is to steal information from people mind without them ever noticing it.
Sofia knows that Hirate thod is not limited to just reading minds. He could alter people mories, seal mories, and erase it.
And that is just a few things that he could with people mind
A person mind is sotis the only thing that made them different from unthinking beings.
If that could be altered and played around with, then you could be reduced to even worse than
animals.
It is one of the most terrifying abilities there is. And while the dia did not talk much about
it, after the Fall, those who have this ability to ss with people mind do many....
unspeakable things with it.,
Turning people to mindless slave is just one of its obscene applications of this ability.
So treated people like a doll on a string, to change the perception of pain and pleasure,
playing with their mories and their lives.
There is many cases where so deranged individuals uses this ability to do evil.
Sofia once read a case about a mind reader who alters the mories of a woman to think that
her children is monsters.
The woman cut her teenage children into pieces and when that deed is done, these deranged individuals release the mories and the woman was so distraught that she died of
heartbreak.
And this is only one of such deed and there were even more disgusting and obscene thing that
had happened because of this ability to manipulate people's mind
Most of them are now either imprisoned or killed.
This only happens after the formation of the world powers.
With stable powers, rules and laws could be enforced and the approval of the people is
paramount hence rules and laws needs to be enforced.
Azief action of establishing the world powers might be seen to so people as a thod of
control but probably that was the point
To leash these beasts that is going out of control.
