Finaly after the caose calmed, the sky guidpersonal retread, and Yuki got back t mana 1 and was just got froout of the shower and was putting on his clothes,
"So, what really happened there?" as a voice came from the side.
"You really should stop doing that." Looking at Wanda and Anna on the couch, Yuki said, "Or I really need to find a way to counter that ability of yours."
"Well, good luck with that," Wanda said with a smirk.
After the riot calmed down, Anna tasked the main sub with monitoring the after-effects and retreated along with Wanda and Yuki to Mana-1.
And now, after Heler forced them into a medical routine, they came to talk to Yuki.
"Well, start talking," Wanda said, making herself comfortable.
"Well, first, we got lucky this time," Yuki said, dropping to the couch in front, then snapping his fingers.
Wanda and Anna sensed they were in a space shut down from the outside.
"That fish only got this thing lately and didn't know what and how to use it, or else we will have a great problem."
"What is it?" Anna asked, confused.
Yuki opened his hand, and a glowing purple, snake-like creature appeared in his hand.
"This is what's called a Planet Embryo. And to be frank, you won't like what I'm going to tell you," Yuki said, as he dodged two bees with his space ability.
"Oh, boy," Wanda said and opened her bottle. "Okay, hit it."
"Well, for a start, the fish only 'devoured' the embryo a couple of months ago…." Yuki started to explain.
......… Flashback.
Going back to the moment Yuki released the fish, as a matter of fact, the screeching voice didn't come from the fish itself but the thing inside it.
Feeling a sense of familiarity, he let go, and soon the feeling intensified.
Shifting back to human, he swam in front of the fish head, and as soon as he made contact with it, his Eagle Instinct came alive. Along with it, energy drained from the fish and came to form in front of Yuki as a small snake.
Yuki found himself dragged to the stary space (his mind palace). Behind him, a Silver Eagle, a Black Fox, and a Metal Hedgehog. And behind them, the ever-still mist, but this time, the Beast's eyes had a tint of intelligence in them, especially the Eagle's.
Looking in front, he found a colossal purple snake in front, sizing him up.
'I expected more from the Space Embryo holder! Not a smelly kid!' Surprisingly, the slithering of the snake made sense to Yuki.
"Well, this smelly kid just kicked your ass," Yuki rebuked, freezing the snake in its track.
'You can understand me?' With narrowed eyes, she asked.
"Uhm, loud and clear," Yuki nodded.
The snake tried to get closer, but an Eagle cry came from behind Yuki, and again it made sense: 'He is watching.'
"Great, I have split personality," Yuki murmured and looked back at the Eagle, then the others too. "And you can talk? Why not do it before? And you too, guys."
'Nah, it's just me,' the Eagle announced. 'And I am kind of special, or else do you really think it's easy to control one's Instinct?'
Yuki smiled warmly, finally knowing why it was easy to control the Silver Eagle Avatar despite its grade than the other two.
"So what now?" Yuki asked, looking between the Eagle and the Snake.
'First, deal with what you need to deal with first,' the Eagle said, and under the curious looks of the Snake, the mist started to move, enveloping Yuki and the snake.
Not feeling any danger, she let it go. Soon she sensed a light probing in her essence before it vanished along with the mist.
Seconds of silence, and a White Shark floated from the mist behind Yuki.
'Impressive. He can copy the essence of existing beings and generate a perfect form for his host. And this thing has my innate gravity manipulation—not on my level, but still.'
Yuki stands there, sensing the new avatar ability before nodding. Then he looked at the snake with a wary smile.
'What's with the look?' the purple snake said. The Eagle exclaimed, 'He probably feels like the last win was handed to him, knowing your ability.'
Yuki looked at the Eagle as he was spot on, then he let out a sigh. "You're not an avatar, aren't you?"
'No, I am one of your Avatars, it's just not a copy,' the Eagle smirked.
'And that brings us here. First, why did you choose a kid? From the link between you, and his age, you have been together just lately, and he was only at his—what—5 years old?'
'First?' Yuki caught the name in confusion.
'Aha, that's for two reasons, actually,' the Eagle said and looked at Yuki. 'Mind using your innate ability on her!'
'Which ability?' Yuki asked confusedly, as he didn't really catch on to the talk of those creatures.
'You know, the one that scans things and shows what you see,' the Eagle said. 'You will understand more like that. I really don't understand why you don't use such a straight-up strategic weapon regularly.'
This comment let Yuki almost slap himself, as a matter of fact, he totally forgot about it between all the training and research.
"I need a break." Massaging his eyebrow, he used Scan on the Snake, and after reading the result, he could only murmur, "Oh boy," before using it again on the Eagle to murmur, "Seriously?"
Scan Results
Gravity Embryo: A Sumi Energy existing that represents the Gravity Concept of the planet. With its existence, the planet's inhabitants have a higher control over the concept with all kinds of types (science, mystic art, etc.). It works as a link point between the planet and the inhabitants. The very existing Embryo gives the perfect control over this concept to the Acknowledged One. (Free)
Space Embryo: A Sumi bla bla bla.... Space Concept. Yuki Alexander host.
'Interesting, although not detailed, but he can have the information of beings just by his sense? That shouldn't be possible,' the Snake mused.
'Oh, yeah?' the Eagle commented. 'It's not detailed because he didn't ask it to do so. And who do you think that thing could generate that Avatar?'
'You don't mean…' After taking a second to look at the kid and the mist behind him.
'Yup, this dude somehow has a connection to the Archive,' the Eagle said. 'And that's one reason.'
"Hold on! Can you explain, 'cause honestly, you already lost me from the beginning," Yuki stopped them, pressing for an explanation.
'Okay, calm your tits down,' the Snake said and slid to the side. 'First, you know about the Genesis?'
'The 'be light' thing?' Yuki asked, and this caused the Snake to glare at the Eagle.
'Seriously?'
'What? I couldn't tell him anything because he was in critical condition and I was low in energy just to patch him together. If we didn't meet you, I would have to wait 10 years to just talk normally?'
'Well, take it from her then. But what was the second reason?' she asked. To her, just him being here with some connection was worth it; everything else was secondary.
'Well, this kid here got in an aircraft accident around the age of 7, and without power or any type of gear, he swerved between the debris and saved 3 persons in a crazy maneuver,' Eagle said excitedly. 'Then I decided to see what he can achieve with my ability and wings.'
'Eh? That's it?' Yuki asked, confused at the reason he got chosen for… I don't know, something cool?
'Oh, that's one hell of a choice you made there! I can tell you for sure that was awesome,' the Snake said, smirking.
'Eh? You were there too?' Yuki asked, confused.
'No, I just now first shared his memory of the accident,' Snake clarified and added, 'But I get what he said. No one has the spiritual awakening and doesn't have a potential hiding beneath.'
'Now back to the main point,' the Eagle said. 'The Genesis of this universe is kind of unique. Every planet generated after the Big Bang, in essence, had 3 pillars: the Core, the Concept, the Habitant.'
'The Core, and contrary to its name, it's only a specter-like place. In it, you will find the history of what happened, will happen, and could happen. In general, it's impossible to find, and the only real clue of its existing is only the other pillars.'
'The Concept: or in our case, the first born of the planet—the Embryo. That's us, the 5 brothers and sisters,' Snake said.
'As you notice, in general, we exist in a Sumi Energy/physical form, and thanks to the inherited memory from the Archive, we had advanced intelligence since we started to exist along with our innate ability,' Eagle said.
"Then how did you end up inside my mind palace?" Yuki said.
'That's simpler. As beings, we can physically exist only for a short time of a couple of months in every age,' the Snake said. 'And to have more time, we need to find a host. You, boy, are our first host.'
