Dante and Aurelia rode on maximus on there way home, when they got home maximus reduced his size and followed Dante into his room and jumped onto the bed to sleep.
Really maximus you still want to sleep by this time Dante asked only to receive a low grunt as response. Fine whatever i have pressing things to deal with than discuss your laziness, it's time to check my progress. Status window.

Dante was glad to see he finally has a Mana core but what the universal core he asked Sara
*That's the core the Gods put in you obviously*
I know that but why is it called that and why didn't anyone just say that what it was before you all kept blurring the universal part and just called it a core.
* Well the reason for that was for your own good, the core was from an unborn universe without a will yet but close enough to be born*
*You see the Gods were losing the war badly when they stumbled on it and decided instead of allowing a universe they could not protect be born it was beneficial for one of them to use it and grow stronger*
Then why didn't they do that and that still doesn't explain the reason for the secret name.
*Would you shut up and let me finish damn, now where was i oh yes,they tried to use it but couldn't because it was not compatible with anyone among them or so they believe until my father cracked the case*
*The reason for the secret name was to protect you,if the core started hearing what it actually was there's no way it will allow itself to be attached to a lowly human,it would kill you and set itself free to perform it true propose, becoming a universe*
Oh that's doesn't sound good, well what changed now i mean we are calling it's name hope it's doesn't decide to perform this role and kill me just to be free.
*That's not happening like i said it wouldn't have allowed itself to be attached to you which means it is already attached to you, remember when you were attacked by that SS rank and it saved you by activating the spatial ability, well it felt like it was going to die which in all honesty was not true,it just confused your death with its own so it protected itself which was you,so in a way you are the universal core as it's you*
Instresting so i was saved because it was already considering me as itself back then.
*Yeah*
Okay now onto other things what's the eyes of potestas and why is it so powerful.
*Well your eyes are a representation of the power the core possess, while your Mana core is full of Mana the core contains powerful concepts that the Gods left for you, besides it could do alot more than this you just have to get strong enough which by the way is going to be difficult*
Okay i like the sound of that, how difficult are we talking about
*Well you have two core , one is a universal core and the other is no matter how special just that of a human so when you absorb Mana which one do you think would get the most*
Fuck, it's the universal core
*Ding ding ding correct,so considering you already have a very special core that requires a lot of Mana to advance it has to share with a big brother that not just stronger but also requires more than it does*
Just great so i will most likely be stuck at my current level for a long time.
*Yup but on the bright side you would most definitely be safe in the human domain,I mean even though you're not the strongest you can definitely survive against every one of them*
That's all well and good until any other race decides to get rid of me or humans themselves set me up against them just to get me killed.
*Well then you just have to be on the low still you get to S rank and above then you would basically be untouchable and have a higher chance of escaping with your teleportation*
Okay that sounds like a plan, now let's deal with the other issue.
*Are you sure it wise to contact it now, you can only do so twice and you want to waste one for introduction*
And appreciation, without it's help i would have been cooked so gratitude is a must.
*Okay then let's say hi*
Let's say hi, Dante then focus on then connection to the being that helped him during is awaking, immediately he sent mana to it he felt a pull and his consciousness was taken to the domain of the former voice of Achaea.
Hello Dante it seems my bet might just bring good fortune to me.
Hello, sorry but i don't know your name.
Well i was never given one and i never thought to give myself one but if it you,then you can call me Achaea, preferably mother Achaea.
Well mother Achaea i want to thank you for your assistance and protection during my time of need.
You are welcome dear but the truth is i did that because you were my only hope to survive so if you truly appreciate it,then please be my chosen.
While i appreciate your assistance i don't plan to get into a commitment just yet especially when i know nothing about what I am signing up for.
Well Dante being my chosen,get to receive help from me and information in the human domain will always be a thought away, you would basically be the king of all humans and not one with self proclaimed title.
That sounds well and good but i don't see what in it for you.
That's, it's hesitate before continuing. Being my champion you would fight the other race for me when the time comes to decide who would become the only voice of this planet when the trials to advance begin.
So what you are saying is i get to lord over the weakest race as my reward and then fight against the other race as your reward,that sounds so fair i would jump in but i don't have feet , Dante said sarcastically.
I know it's not really a favorable position but it also for the good of the human race, which ever off our chosen win that would mean that will would be the voice of the planet and the other race would become minor race to the eventual winner.
Hmmm that interesting but what you just said implies the losers will die
Yes so no one can stop the winner from making favorable situation for their favored race.
Is one question though
Yes
What happens to the chosen when the Will they are connected to die.
Now Dante was sure he wouldn't like the answer because he could actually feel the emotions of the Will and they were not inspiring hope.
Well if the Will die the chosen would most likely die because they would lose their core but you won't die after all you possess two core.
I see then thanks for the offer but i will have to pass, while it is sooo tempting to rule the human domain I feel I am too young for such responsibility.
Fine but promise me you would owe me one favor.
As long as it not outrageous for my current abilities at the time you ask then i would consider it seriously.
Thank you our time is up see you next time Dante.
Dante consciousness returned to his body and he found himself laying on maximus. Well that was nice.
*I agree with your decision but why did you refuse, with her help you would have grown in power faster and since she wants to live she would make sure you are always informed of potential danger*
Danger are you serious,tell me is any human powerful enough to kill me while also able to stop me from escaping.
*No i don't think so*
Good so the danger for warning is redundant, but i would be connected to her forever yes given enough time i would definitely be the strongest but if i have such an obvious weakness then every enemy i face would definitely exploit it.
*Oh, how so*
If i win for her and she becomes the Will of this planet then i would be forced into protecting this planet forever i won't be able to leave here for Fear of my enemies coming and just destroying the planet to end me, there's no way i am giving myself such handicap.
*Good it seems that intelligence number are not going to waste, I'm proud of you*
Well that's rear you actually praise me, is it my birthday Dante said with a chuckle
