Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 425 Interlude: Asteria“s typical day as a student part 12

[[[Kuro’s spaceship, which was now sailing across space on autopilot mode, was quickly making its way towards the Abyss Plane. While of all this was happening, Kuro, who was now free from piloting the ship, was currently giving a talk to her students.]]]

[Kuro]: Every living creature has emotions, no matter how advanced their state is. As long as a creature can feel something, it will have emotions. Anger, fear, hunger, envy, jealousy, you can call these emotions in the way that you want it. No matter what kind of emotions are there, I can assure you that it will exist on everyone.

[Kuro]: Even silicon or germanium-based beings can have emotions too, although what they have were something that will be hard for us to comprehend.

[Kuro]: As for the robots and mechanical beings, you can treat them as emotional creatures too, although their body structure makes it harder for them to feel emotions....

[Everyone in the class]: ....

[[[Kuro was giving a talk about emotions, although the things that she said had rendered her class somewhat confused. Kuro quickly noticed this confusion, and she could only sigh as she gave her students a wilting glare.]]]

[Kuro]: Hey, do you understand why am I giving this lecture to you?

[Everyone in the class]: No mam! We don’t understand!

[Kuro]: Tsk, did you even make a review about the Abyss Plane itself?

[Everyone in the class]: No mam!

[Kuro]: ...You should have studied about the Abyss Plane before you rode this ship. You had 4 hours to make a research, right? Why did you not make any effort to study during that time period? Tsk, people these days really suck! Hmph, since you are all this negligent, then I will give all of you punishments later. Huhuhu... you should try your best to enjoy it...

[Everyone in the class]: ....

[Kuro]: Hmph, since I am your teacher, then I will be slightly negligent to all of you. I will now start talking about the Abyss Plane, so everyone of you should focus and listen to me!

[[[After she said these words, Kuro pointed her hands at the window of the ship. Her students followed her finger, and through this window, they saw something that they will never forget]]]

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[[[A massive eye, which was as large as a galaxy itself, was staring intently at Kuro’s ship. Numerous tentacles the size of stars surrounded the eye, with each one of them following a set fractal pattern. These tentacles of course made the eye looked extremely intimidating, which was just exemplified by the bloodlust oozing out of the eye’s pupils.]]]

[[[The size of this eye was so great, that its mere gaze alone was enough to give pressure on Kuro’s students. Even Kuro appeared to be shaken by the eye too, as her voice sounded pretty shaken when she continued talking.]]]

[Kuro]: See that large, disgusting eyes in front of you? That’s the entrance to the Abyss Plane. If we want to reach the Abyss Plane, we have to pass through this eye first...

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[Kuro]: ...Yeah, I know that this eye might look like it will eat us all, but do not worry about it. As long as we don’t do anything to offend this eye, then everything will be fine.

[Everyone in the class]: ....

[[[Everyone appeared to be rendered silent by this massive eye, as none of them even spoke up to ask Kuro questions. Even the usually daft Kibou did not say anything, as it was too busy cowering behind Celeste. Kuro appeared to be slightly disappointed about the attitude of her students, although she did not exactly point this out to them.]]]

[Kuro]: Do you remember my talk about emotions earlier? I told you about it, because emotions are directly tied to the existence of the Abyss Plane itself.

[Kuro]: Emotions are the driving force that makes a living creature do something. Whether that is for survival or for entertainment, emotions are pretty intense things that can influence a being. But usually, any emotions can only have a direct effect on an individual alone. After all, emotions are nothing but minuscule effects of a creature’s thoughts; it just had no way too affect reality itself.

[Kurp]: But if these emotions come from zillions, quintillions, or googols of creatures, then these massive amount will have an effect on the Multiverse itself, whether we like it or not.

[Everyone in the class]: ....

[Kuro]: Because the amount of life existing in the Multiverse are almost limitless, the emotions tied with them are near limitless too. This in turn, allowed these emotions to have a direct effect on the Multiverse itself.

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[Kuro]: I do now know why it became like this, but out of nowhere, a new plane, which was dedicated to emotions themselves, was suddenly established. This plane is the Abyss Plane, which just like what I told you earlier, will be the place that we are visiting today.

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[Kuro]: Now in terms of size, the Abyss Plane is comparable to other planes like the Immortal Monarch Plane or the Holy Order Plane. The only difference that this plane had with the other planes were its living conditions and the creatures that live inside it. Now, do you want to know more about these things?

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[Kuro] Silence means yes, so I’ll just tell it to you too. Ehem, so the creatures that live in the Abyss Plane are called Abyss Monsters, although some people just call them Devils. Now, these beings have abilities that are related to Sins and Emotions. The Seven Deadly Sins(Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, and Wrath) and the Limitless Emotions(Any emotions that you can think of) were the foundation of the Abyss Monsters, and they continued to wield this foundation for their power system, which is considered to be fearsome in the whole Multiverse.

[Kuro] Don’t ask me more about their powers, as this will just take me a long time to explain. Now, these beings can also gain power from rituals and sacrificial rites, which none of you should accept from those monsters later. Even though they are offering you something tempting, do not attempt to perform rituals for them. Even though some of their rituals promise to give power on the ritual maker, there are still some hidden dangers in these rituals. So if you don’t want to end up as a crazed lunatic, don’t accept anything from them. Do you all understand that?

[Everyone in the class]: Yes mam...

[Kuro]: Good, now bring out your luggage. We are about to reach the Abyss Plane, so none of you should dilly-dally, ok? And please, don’t leave any of your valuables behind here. It’s just a pain in the ass to continue dealing with them.

[Everyone in the class]: Ok mam...

[Kuro]: Ok, now form a line by your height so that we can.... Wait a minute, where the hell is Asteria? Why can’t I see her here?

[Celeste]: ...

[Kibou]: ...

[Kuro]: Everyone... have you seen where Asteria is? We need to find her right now. We are about to reach our destination, so we should not have any delays!

[Everyone in the class]: ...

[Kuro]: Everyone, if nobody from you will tell me where Asteria is, then I will double my punishment on all of you. You wouldn’t want that happeni-

[Kibou]: Ki... ki.

[Kuro]: Are you trying to say something Kibou? Don’t worry, I won’t get angry with you.

[Celeste]: Hey Kibou, what the hell are you doing?

[Kibou]: Ki... ki ki! Ki ki ki! K.... ki ki!

[Kuro]: Oh...so you’re saying that Asteria is hiding right now, because she doesn’t want to go here at the Abyss Plane?

[Celeste]: Kibou! Why did you tell her!

[Kibou]: Ki ki ki ki ki ki ki kik ikikikkikikik ki!

[Kuro]: So Asteria told you that because she doesn’t want to die in the Abyss Plane, she will do anything just to not come here. Those were the exact words that she told you earlier?

[Kibou]: Ki!

[Celeste]: Oh my god Kibou, Asteria will be pissed at you later...

[Kuro]: Heh, it’s a good thing that you told me about Asteria’s plan, Kibou. After all, Asteria is just lying to you.

[Celeste]: Huh? Are you telling us that...

[KIbou]: Ki? Ki...

[Kuro]: There is no danger for Asteria’s life here in the Abyss Plane, and there is no chance in the future that she will be in danger in this place. Hehe, that fairy is just straight up making excuses here, and you two actually fell for it? Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems like I have to punish you too for being too gullible. As for Asteria, hehehe, she should be preparing her wings for more flying push-ups!
