Reincarnated as a World

Chapter 95 A Battle of Wills

Ch.95 A Battle of Wills

Gaia inwardly flabbergasted by the strange existence before her. The man wore white robes that blended with his long silky-like hair, and had golden eyes that appeared to see right into the depths of her soul. On top of that, he was surrounded by a divine golden light that made her think of those bastards from the Heavens Supreme Region.

For a split second she even thought that he might have actually originated from there, but then immediately wrote it off as extremely unlikely. Out of all the Regions in this Galaxy, it was the bastards from Heaven Supreme that bullied and harassed the Immortals from the Desolate Region the most. Whenever she or the other Immortals from the Desolate Region visited the Mithril Region to buy precious goods, they would always be met with contempt. And if they ever met those from Heaven Supreme, it would always turn into a depressing situation.

Remembering the humiliating acts that she was forced to perform, Gaia had to blink away her anger.

Such people... would not even be caught dead here. They considered the entire Desolate Region a disgrace, and sometimes even insulted each other by calling the other a ‘Desolate loving scum’ if they were caught indulging in the bodies of those from Desolate, or ‘Desolate Dweller’ if they were low in talent.

This man before her, although arrogant in appearance, did not possess the disdain or disgust that those from Heavens Supreme never bothered to hide when looking at anything that came from the Desolate Region.

“Who are you?” she finally decided to ask, unwilling to participate in a battle of patience that other Immortals liked to do. She was planning on pretending to be an overly arrogant Dragon who’s ego was over inflated by their natural talent, instead of the Immortal that she actually was. If she was caught, she was caught, it mattered not.

The man before responded with a wider grin that genuinely made the World seem brighter, and made the plant-life around them grow. It was a wonderful sight straight out of a fairy=tale. Coupled with the man’s divine looks, it was enough to make almost any girl or even man lose control of themselves. But the only thought that came to her mind was:

‘Mere parlour tricks.’

“Me...? Hmm, you can consider me as... the Guardian of this little World~”

Even his voice was sublime, it touched her in places she very much rathered it didn’t, and even caused her to briefly, very briefly, think of the 2 of them doing things in a different scenario and different location. And that was when she knew she was in danger.

But she knew it was all a facade, he was merely displaying his displeasure and portion of his power. Basically giver her the threat that she guessed was coming, but in an indirect manner.

‘Bastard...’ she inwardly thought before giving him a glare of her own. Filling her eyes with the experience and indifference of a long-lived Immortal.

This lasted for 5 minutes that felt more like 5 days with each second raising the intensity in the man’s indomitable aura more and more. But when the first sound of a tree cracking was heard, the pressure and aura sputtered out like a mortal machine that had lost electricity. Bringing peace to the land that had become silent.

But even then, Gaia didn’t let her guard down.

The man continued to glare at her, but all the fanfare had vanished. The lights in his eyes, the golden aura... even his shiny clothes and hair had dulled. He looked like an ordinary mortal man, albeit, an impossibly handsome one.

But just when she thought she had one, the man began laughing.

“Pfft- hahaha...~ HAHA-HAHAHAHAHA!”

!!!

Gaia felt dazed as she looked at the man flopping to his back and stretching out his limbs in a spread-eagle position, laughing like a boy that found something amusing that no one else knew about. The sound was... arguably one of the most beautiful things she had ever heard in the entirety of her life, and she was unable to resist as a grin pulled itself from her lips.

“Haha...hoo~ Sorry, sorry... My name's Eridel. What’s your name?”
