Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 36: Reese and Rabe 3 of 5 (Part 02)

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was not the ceiling of a place, but a vast expanse of snowy forest. Odo stood in a daze, supposedly sleeping in the gazebu with the others now. But seeing the sight of the snow-white evergreen forest in front, it was very different from what he knew.

There were no villages, no crowds or people, just a snowy scene welcoming him. Just under the exposure of the dim light that reached the surface past the clouds and trees, it exposed it with an atmosphere that felt a little nostalgic for the young man.

He set foot barefoot, walking through the pristine white forest with a view that felt a little brighter than the intensity of the light coming from behind the clouds. Up to a large area in the middle of the forest, there is a large banyan tree with green leaves and hanging roots.

It was very strange that there was a green tree in the snow that filled. As he got closer, Odo realized something. The temperature could not be felt, there was no warmth or cold. It was not because of the magic used, but rather that his place was without such a thing.

“Nice to meet you, The Carrier.”

The voice came from a woman in front of him. He sat on the swing of the roots of the banyan tree, smiling lightly at him from the tree that symbolized life. The woman has a color of purple hair torhenia that decomposes to touch the surface of the snow, has a beautiful violet eye like a gemstone and pale skin like a corpse.

Seeing that figure Odo trembled, feeling nostalgic for something and like having met him somewhere. Looking at the pointy ears of the female, a glimpse of the black-haired youth stepped back and was wary of the Elf race magic that tended to be complicated and powerful.

“You don't have to look at me like that, you don't like me or I'm a victim, kok.”

That's a joke that doesn't sound funny to Odo. Putting on a smile and hiding the anxiety of not knowing what was going on, the young man asked, “Why am I here? Anyway, who are you?”

“Ah, sorry .... Looks like I forgot to introduce myself ...” Rolling his hair very long, he hugged it and began braiding the long hair of the volume. Smiling lightly without looking at Odo, he said, “My spirit is Korwa .... The servant of the Devil and the mastermind of the Summoning of the Devils to this world.”

Odo fell silent without making a sound, hiding his surprise and remained standing straight without trembling. Trying to understand the situation, he still could not understand why the figure of Korwa could be in front of him now.

“Do you not know me? Korwa ..., at least that name you've heard it should be, The Carrier.”

“I know you .... I also know what you've done to both of them.”

Gazing at Odo with a faint smile after hearing that, the purple-haired woman said, “Dart Luke and Mavis. They are truly the perfect catalyst to call you into this world. Do you know about that too?”

“Yes, I know. But ... I still don't understand the reason.” Odo stared darkly, the woman before him did know about something that was behind the Gahon City Tragedy in the Empire a dozen years ago. Other than Odo and Fiola, indeed no one else should know the facts behind Mavis Luke right now.

Gritting his teeth with an expression of hatred, Odo again said, “more or less I know that fact. I, the Soul that came from the previous world was summoned by using them as a medium and a Soul as its growth. Mavis ..., more where the Soul that was supposed to be an individual named Mavis disappeared, then my mother who is her sister who is an Individual named Proten .., she got the full role of the lie.”

Korwa's braiding hands came to a halt, the swing swayed and her purple dress slightly wavy lightly along with her two legs swinging left right in turn.

“Oh, you can even reach that conclusion with only limited information that I have left, you are always amazing,” said Korwa as he lowered his head and braided his long hair.

Although physically the woman's purple hair looks very beautiful and charming wrapped in a dress that is identical in color to her cornea, but feels a negative sign in the woman. Odo clearly felt it, he felt that the woman would definitely not hesitate to choose the destruction of the world for what she wanted.

Stop braiding the unfinished hair, the woman looked at Odo with sad eyes. Making the young man instantly change his perception towards her. Korwa in a longing tone said, “I make both your parents suffer. Using my children, I ordered them to invite destruction and kill many people .... Right now, I might as well take your precious time ..”

“If you want to confess your sin, go to the Church there .... What did you meet me for?”

“Cold,” said Korwa while braiding her hair again. “But I did all this for you .... Not for the sake of Goddess Helena, but for yourself. By my own will, not because of the code arrangement ..”

“What ... are you talking about?” Odo could not digest the speech.

“Nothing, just bring a woman. I also have no right to expect that. I am your enemy, that role is what this self got from the beginning.”

“Oi! I asked what are you talking about?!” snapped Odo.

“It's not you I'm talking to, lover Helena.”

Odo clearly suddenly felt the air of existence behind. When he turned his head immediately, the black shadow quickly disappeared before Odo knew who it was. Swallowing with weight. “Do not say ... You have anything to do with Auto Senses?” he said, turning back to the woman.

Not answering, Korwa just gave a plain smile and stopped braiding her hair. It really made Odo upset, ignored despite being right in front of him.

“Bringer, let's discuss something. There must be something you want to know, right?”

“Yes! Before that answer my question, who are you?! You were talking to Auto Senses, weren't you?!” said Odo while pointing at the woman's face.

“What is it? I've been talking to you.”

Odo felt something strange, the woman was seen talking to him. But the one sentence that came out earlier was really not directed at Odo, and Korwa himself seemed to have unconsciously said that.

“Ah, stop.” Turning his gaze with a tired face, Odo let out a long sigh. For a moment of thought, emotions suddenly rose and he snapped, “What do you want to bring me here?! Restore me!”

“Just relax, The Carrier.” Korwa was not at all daunted, just staring flatly and still putting on a slightly sad expression. Smiling as if laughing at Odo's anger, he said, “You are still soundly asleep like a baby, this is just like a dreamland. Thanks to one of my children being near you, I can bring your consciousness into this Realm. The time that passes here will only be overnight for you, so there is no need to worry if we talk at length.”

“Child ...? Don't say ....!!”

“Of course the children of Korwa, Perverted Flow.”

Odo grew increasingly anxious to hear that, his sense of wanting to immediately go up with suspicion. Trying to use magic to attack the woman before him, the Mana in the body did not respond and the Magic Core was not felt at all.

“Magic cannot be used in this dreamland of mine, The Bearer.”

“Tch!” Odo was upset, staring hatefully at Korwa. The situation feels almost similar when he talks to Reyah, Witch, or Rhea, but is more likely to have strong dominance over the interlocutor and Odo does not like that kind of thing.

Sitting sila on the surface of the snowy ground, Odo stared flatly. Korwa was startled, a little confused and immediately got up from the root swing. He sat down on the snowy ground with his long hair, and continued braiding.

“You declared you to be my enemy, didn't you? What are you talking to me for now?!” ask Odo annoyed.

“Being an enemy must have a procedure. After all, I became an enemy not because I wanted to. This is the destiny that the world determines.”

“I don't believe in destiny!”

Korwa was surprised to hear the stern words, slightly smiling happily at what the young man said. “I know, you're the type of person who would say such a thing. In fact, destiny is a result of situations and situations stacking on top of each other. Results from our own piercing.”

“Lantas why are you my enemy if you don't want to!?” snapped Odo.

“It ... can't myself change.” Korwa's hand stopped for a moment. Back braiding his hair, he said, “While you don't remember it, I've made you suffer. With this redemption, I hope a Great figure like you can be helped. Although unfortunately ... it ended up dragging you back to an Obligation.”

Although Odo did not understand what Korwa said, but the woman's feelings were conveyed clearly. In the mind feels a nostalgia, mixed with a little pain in the mind that feels strange to him.

“What ... have we met?”

Odo's question made the woman smile happily. With the answer full of lies, he said, “This is the first time we spoke.”

Odo knows it's a lie even though he doesn't have the power of Fiola. However, he did not ask further because in his mind felt something that forbade him for it.

“The Carrier, have you ever felt it .. something that should have been the first time, but it feels nostalgic to you? Feeling homesick when meeting someone who is supposed to be a stranger, or facing a new situation that feels like getting used to, when it is the first time for you ..?”

“A—” The words came to a halt in Odo's throat before coming out in response, anger at suspicion turning into regret that felt strange in his mind. Slightly turning his eyes away from the woman sitting in a row, he said, “You mean some kind of Deja Vu?”

“Yes .... Surely you know such things and often think about them, a sense of familiarity. A kind of situation that happens because the brain lacks memory processing, making an illusion of that sort .... However, is it really an illusion or delusion?”

Odo fell silent, looked back and a little began to understand what kind of interlocutor he was now. Korwa is very similar to the Witch of the Pondo Forest and the A.I of the Ungea Kingdom. The way they view the world more in theory and logic, in contrast to Reyah who tends to accept the facts as destiny.

“If indeed that is the cause is a lack of processing from the brain, obviously Deja Vu it is a delusion. Because not to forget something in full, a sense of nostalgia will appear when seeing the fact that triggers the memory and makes such an illusion the first time it happens,” replied Odo.

“Yes, it is like that. But ..., if in fact you have actually met someone and are in a similar condition, yet you just forget about it? If you have actually done something, but just forgotten it? What are you going to do?”

Odo was silent with a flat gaze, feeling that the question was not important right now. Closing his eyes, he honestly replied, “I won't do anything about it. If I forget, I won't do anything.” Opening his eyes, the young man stared flatly.

“Then if you remember?”

“I will continue what I will do that.”

The answer made Korwa put on a sad face, her eyes glazed with cause that Odo did not know. Seeing it made the young man's chest of black hair feel pain, feel empathy and slightly confused.

“Sang Carrier ..., can I ask you something more?”

“Hmm.”

“Will you atone for a sin for someone even if that person has forgotten that sin? If You do evil to someone and that person swears to curse you forever, but in the end the person forgets the crime completely, do you still want to ask for forgiveness?”

“I will not ask for forgiveness,” replied Odo without hesitation. “It .. felt very egosi, surely that person will give forgiveness easily because I do not remember what I have done to him. Although it has been told, if you do not remember for sure the person does not feel ever treated evil and easily forgives.”

“That guy was me, huh?” ask Odo.

“Not .., it is not you.”

“Not me, but the old me?”

Korwa flinched, immediately wiping away the tears and gazing in confusion. “Really, it is not you ..” he said grudgingly.

“Not to be evasive, more or less I understand .... Memories in his previous life were too awkward, it felt like something had been forcibly severed.” Staring sharply at Korwa, Odo seriously asked, “No matter who or what happens next, please tell me what is missing?!”

Spotting Korwa's sad eyes wide open as if seeing the light after the storm, he did not think that Odo would ask for such a thing. Immediately wiping away the tears with the dress, she stared limply as she said, “Didn't you question it? Who am I really? You don't care about that?”

“I understand you, the calculations have drawn conclusions. Korwa, you look like the Mother who created the A.I of the Moloia Kingdom .... You go through the cycle of the world, storing memories during the cycle and knowing who I really am.”

Korwa was surprised, but not because Odo's answer was correct. Back looking sad, he said, “So, yes. The boys misinterpreted as well .... Indeed things like this are difficult to understand even though they are done with super calculation mechanics that I left.”

“Eh?” Both of Odo's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that there was something strange about the woman's way of speaking. “Don't ..., you're the Mother that Rhea calls?” ask Odo in panic.

“Hmm, Mother is the A.I that I left behind, she is my piece from another parallel in the form of the system. In fact, I actually have no physical body and this is just a form of my consciousness.”

Odo's breathing seemed claustrophobic to hear that, the calculations in his head immediately craze until it makes his head dizzy. Because he was in a dream, he was not a nosebleed.

“You ...? Wait, parallel? Wait a minute, looks like something's wrong here?” Holding a forehead and turning away, Odo really needed some time to understand it.

Korwa finished braiding her long hair and hugged her tightly. Smiling happily as if enjoying Odo's frantic expression, he asked, “Did my children there say that the world is experiencing a cycle of repetition? Some kind of Destruction and Creation?”

“Ehm, Rhea said like that.” Odo stared with a dizzy face.

“Rhea, yes .... Among them, he is the most obedient child.” Korwa smiled like a proud mother to her daughter.

Odo was getting confused and panicked, in a loud voice he asked, “Wait a minute! You're Korwa, aren't you?! Why call them kids? I mean, your son is supposed to be a Perverted Stream, ‘kan?!”

Smiling back as she hugged her braids like a bolting pillow, the purple haired woman said, “World parallel. You should know that, right?”

“Not after the Reconstruction of the World elements likely did not exist and parallel worlds could not be created? Was that also their misinterpretation?” ask Odo in panic.

“Inspects of possibilities, huh? He~ They completely misinterpreted the information I left behind about this world. Well, with the understanding and knowledge of this world it is only natural that it happens .... But ..., I didn't think they'd actually deduce that element of possibility the maker of Multiverse.”

“Eh?” Odo's mouth was gaping, he was surprised because he also agreed with the conclusion.

“Multiverse, or also can be categorized as a parallel world created not because of the possibility factor, but the difference in perception. The difference in information obtained by the entities of each universe’lah that makes parallel dimensions realized,” explained Korwa.

“Not that there should also be a possibility factor? If A does B or C, it is also influenced by the possibility, ‘kan? It is not that after World Reconstruction the factor is gone and the world becomes one path in the cycle of repetition,” Odo said in his opinion.

“For the repetition cycle that my children triggered was correct, but it only applies at the dimensional level above the basic dimension. In fact, in the most basic dimension of this super universe there is still a parallel world and eternal repetition occurs there even in a very short lifespan.”

“Hah? Basic dimensions?” Odo was dumbfounded, one eye twitching and unable to accept the concept that had suddenly entered it.

“Reconstruction, you should have realized the meaning behind this. That reconstruction is not making something completely new, but rearranging it into an all-shape but only on a similar level. In the construction, the reconstruction will use the same place although the building will be slightly different.”

Both Odo's eyes narrowed, and he began to understand what Korwa meant. Smiling angrily, he said, “Don't tell me that the basic dimension you call is the foundation of the universe, and there still has the characteristics of the world before Reconstruction?”

“Not feature .... You know, this world does indeed basically have such a basic form. What the creatures of the world inhabit now is an adaptation to them after total destruction .... World .... choose ... creature ... life ... new, not us who came from the previous world.”

“Kita ...?”

“Yes, we .... I also came from the world before the great apocalypse.”

Odo soon wakes up, feeling unaccepted at something even though the pieces of mystery begin to form in his head. Annoyed, he said, “Wait ..., are you? Are you reincarnated too? Anyway, why am I called? In my last memory, I died just as an ordinary young man who was hacked into with an ax by a madman!!” by constantly pointing Korwa who sat down to rest.

“Herbs .... The Goddess Helena, loh.” Korwa did not wake up, she hugged her braided hair like a big teddy bear. Slightly bowing his face, he muttered, “Hmm, if the limits of your memory are just like that, meaning he completely erased it because you do not want to know. Well, that's undeniable and I can't comment on that .... After all, I was just a personality piece ..., a system created from pieces of your memory of me that had died in the previous world.”

“Eh? What does it mean?” Odo stopped pointing, his eyes wide open and felt like he could almost remember something. A flash of bright blue flashed through the young man's mind, making his head twitch in pain.

Poking up the index finger, Korwa said, “That, loh .... The making of the A.I needs information from humans, I am formed from memories taken from you.” He said as if he didn't care much about it.

Putting on a flat face expression full of indifference, he again said, “My bodily-created spirit is on the foundation of the dimension, continuing to experience short cycles and developing at high speed. It divides itself into a goalless personality and continues to evolve. At a certain level, I was able to access higher dimensions such as the Dimension of Demons, Spirits, even this Real World. Although initially only in the form of awareness in the form of Mother, but my part clearly arrived here. During the hundreds of cycles that occurred, I finally came to this level.”

“That's not what I asked!” snarled Odo annoyed, something he almost remembered again began to collapse and disappear.

“Oh, what about me that can survive the cycle? For the version of myself in the form of Mother did not actually survive, only when the world was re-created I sent my version again to this world. Of course with information before the cycle is included because we are connected.”

“We ..?” Odo couldn't accept such a senseless thing. If what Korwa said was true, all the causes of the world's chaos did indeed come from the woman before him. Because of the female personality form created from the deleted memory pieces of Odo, the world came out of its cycle little by little.

“Yes, we .... Unfortunately, for the real body version .. such information cannot be accommodated by one individual. Because of this, with the Mother I sent first, I placed an order on another version of myself to create a thousand containers to fill by the young version of myself that numbered a thousand. Although they are called the children of Korwa, they are actually my personality born from a short cycle of basic dimensions.”

“Wait!” Odo scratched his head chaotically, his head started to heat up and could not keep up with the conversation properly . “That ends need parallel worlds, right? Doesn't the parallel world no longer exist?!” odo asked exasperatedly because the woman's answer did not answer his confusion.

“Ah, are you still fixated on the theory of Many Worlds and Quantum Mechanics?”

“Eh? Not that it's the most appropriate theory ...” Odo stopped scratching his head, his hair was messed up and began to stare at Korwa with a sense of stress.

“Nothing is most precise, parallel worlds are just how the level of an observation of each entity. Observation of one universe to another, of the existing super-universe. In fact, other dimensions can also be called parallel worlds.”

“Hah?!” odo shouted as if his head cells were broken.

“Membrane, the place of the theory of Membrane Type Multivers and Extra Dimension, I guess you have also heard of it?” korwa said as she stared at the young man standing before her.

“Ah .... Seriously? That too ... apply?”

“Hmm, all three Type Multivers occurred before World Reconstruction. From the Bubble Territory of the Universe which is influenced by the observation distance between the universe and the black hole, it can also explain why the universe is many stars, galaxies, black holes and is divided into various universes. From the most basic theory, it can be said that there are other parallels that are farther from the inhabited world or there is also another parallel in the black hole. In addition to that theory, as you consider to be true there is also the theory of Many Worlds and Quantum Mechanics ..., that is due to the possibility factor as you consider to be true!”

“He repeated it twice ...” Odo's face shriveled, like a wayward disciple being patronized.

Turning away, Korwa again explained, “The parallel world in this theory is created because someone takes a different choice and makes the world branch, then there are times when the world becomes more advanced than other branch worlds. However, after the second World Reconstruction the potential of the theory was erased. Dimensions other than the Basic Dimension do not have it .... That is the reality of this world.”

“Then ..., in Membrane Theory I missed ...”

“Yes, what you missed is a theory that considers that extra dimension a Multiverse. This theory as you know, the world is divided like sheets in a book that is likened to a super-dimensional and it is stratified based on an array of information, embedded in this single super-universe. Here's the real world fact ...”

“Book ..., a stacking of information and divided into their respective Clusters. Hmm, I think I'm starting to understand it—”

Regardless of Odo, Korwa again explained, “Layaknya existing world law provisions, the basic dimensions are not exposed to Reconstruction because it becomes the foundation. As in the general understanding, the main dimension that exists now is about five layers .... With information to form physical form and consciousness. However, the dimension that became the foundation did not have that. Instead, like the law of dimensions where 2D can appear in 3D, then 3D can appear in 4D, but the opposite cannot, I can make contact with the dimensions above me. That's why things like summoning Demons or Spirits can be done even if they're very limited. That was because if an entity crossed into another dimension, its existence would be disrupted. Remember this, which affects the lane of the world not only time, but also space. If space is separate, time will also be affected..”.

Closing his mouth with a palm, Odo nodded his head in understanding and started muttering, “Like the sheets in the book .... If the Real World was above other dimensions such as the Astral World, the Devil or below, there was indeed room for them to appear if called .... So that's the concept of summoning a Spirit or a Devil .... Because of this, the human body tends to distort as higher amounts of information do not vanish as entities from lower dimensions enter higher dimensions.

“That is why I can only meet you in the form of a dream. My Main Server-like self doesn't have a physique in this dimension. Despite making a body and coming, I doubt I can explain this to you because of the information limitation.”

“More or less I understand ...”

Odo nodded. While glancing towards Korwa, for some reason the woman looked like she was sulking and kept hugging her braided hair that was expanding like a bolster pillow. Not caring about that, Odo seriously asked another question, “Then ..., may I know what kind of person I am in the World before Reconstruction? Why .... people like me get dragged into something like this? What did I do?”

“Ah ..., the ...” Korwa slightly flinched, turning her eyes away reluctantly. “You ... used to be the one who opposed the Sena—” Throne

A scythe was suddenly swung from behind Odo and cut off Korwa's neck, making the woman's head soar into the air and her severed hair scattered. Panicking his head to the base of the huge scythe, Odo saw a black shadow figure standing upright with both eyes burning red. Instinctively Odo was aware that it was coming out of his body, but it was not Auto Senses. Although it was humanoid in shape, the black shadow-like figure brought about havoc and made the young man with black hair unable to move or say.

The head of Korwa that was rolling without bleeding stared intently at the black shadow with the scythe. Putting on a sad expression, he said, “You still .. didn't let him choose, yes. It's so sad ..., you're also half-hearted like me.”

“!!!”

Odo's consciousness was thrown away, his gaze turning dark instantly. Before he was conscious, the sensation of falling into a deep hole was clear and made his breath feel very tight.
