Chapter – 58 (*TITLE AT THE END*)

Primis entered his Home and took out the sphere which was holding Ophis soul.

'Primis: What to do now?'

[Shatter it.]

'Primis: Shatter?'

[Yes. Sphere is just a way to make sure that soul won't get dissipated. Now that you are in your Home you can shatter it. I will take care of the rest.]

Nodding his head, Primis shattered the sphere.

CRACK!!!!

SHATTER!!!!!

Sphere broke like glass. In the next instant, countless threads made of Origin Force started to cover Ophis soul until a cocoon was formed. Cocoon was 2 meter long and it was golden-white in color. Then Cocoon started to float and reached the sky where it finally stopped. Primis looked at the Cocoon in the sky trying to understand what was going on inside but failed to see anything.

[Stop wasting your time. With your current understanding of Origin Force, you can't see through it.]

'Primis: Hmm. How much time will it take?'

[4-hours.]

Since he still had some time, he decided to do his daily training. First, he entered the pond of Highly concentrated Origin Force to meditate. During meditation he enjoyed the same conformable feeling and 2-hours went by.

When he came out of meditation, he left the pond. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked back at the pond. After thinking for few seconds, he took some distance from pond and started to use the Origin Force.

Origin Force started came out of him and the Origin Force in the atmosphere also came under his control. Soon the entire pond was covered by a barrier made of Origin Force. The Barrier held the entire pond inside it. From sky to underground, like it is in a sphere.

Now no one could enter the barrier except him. Since Ophis had become his first Permanent-Member, it's obvious there will be more in future. To prevent someone from 'accidently' falling into the pond, Primis made this barrier. No matter what method one use to open the barrier or teleport inside it, it will all be in vain.

Next, Primis undo this Awakening and reequip his Mid-night Coat and Elucidator. Then he started practicing again. Another hour went by. Now only 1-hour was left.

Primis looked at the Cocoon in the sky, but it had no change. So, he ignored it for now and went into his house. Since he had promised Ophis that he will make chocolate for her, he decided to make some.

He took out the ingredients one-by-one. As expected, his kitchen had everything. Another 30-minutes went by, and chocolate was made. Primis put the chocolate in his inventory so that it can remain fresh. Then he came out and looked at Cocoon again. Only 30-minutes left.

Primis looked around and entered his Awakening again. Before Twilight could understand why Primis entered his Awakening again, Primis looked at the far distance and use Origin Force on specific area.

Goudou!!!

Goudou!!!

BOOM!!!!

A tree came out of ground and grew up to 5 meters. Primis nodded his head in satisfaction and undo his Awakening again. After that he went to tree and sat down leaning his back on it. Tree leaves were prevented light from falling on Primis.

'Primis: Twilight, there is one question I forget to ask before.'

[What is it?]

'Primis: How do I know if this or any other world has Transmigrator?'

[Don't worry, I can tell you that.]

'Primis: You can.'

[Well, I can't tell in which corner of the world he/she is or who he/she is. But I can tell you whether there is Fated Ones in that world or not.]

'Primis: Fated Ones?'

[I think instead of calling them Transmigrator, Fated Ones are better.]

'Primis: So, looks like I need to find them myself.'

[Yes. I can tell you that currently there is no "Fated Ones" in Danmachi world. Still, it didn't mean there won't be one in future. Once someone will arrive, I will let you know.]

'Primis: Ok.'

[Even though I can't tell you in which corner of the World they are or who they are, there is still a way to find them.]

'Primis: I am listening.'

[First, since they decided to transmigrate this world or any world which they 'specially' chose. This means they already have a good knowledge of storyline of that world. Hence, they will try to get close to Main Characters.]

'Primis: I know that.'

[I know that you know but I am still saying that. Second, even if they went to different world randomly, since they have System or Knowledge of their previous life, they will become strong very fast. Hence, no matter how much they try to be low profile there will still be some gossip. Or if they don't try to be low profiled, they will famous. Either way it will change the plot and you will realize who they are.]

'Primis: I know that too. Since they don't exist in Plot but suddenly appeared, it's obvious they are "Fated Ones".'

[Right. But there is one more thing that you don't know. As I told you Fate, Destiny, Luck, Karma and so on has no effect on you, right?]

'Primis: Yes.'

[But that's not the case for "Fated Ones." It's true that their System can hide it, but it didn't mean they don't have it unlike you. So, if they kill the Main Characters then they will get a lot of it, making them a lot stronger in just one jump.]

Primis narrowed his eyes at this.

'Primis: Killing the Main Characters of story. Huh. But didn't you say that World will try to protect them.'

[That's why if they succeed, rewards will be so generous.]

'Primis: Won't World erase them if they killed it's Hero?'

[It won't. The moment they succeed in killing the hero, the world will start looking for its next Hero. It won't bother the one who killed its previous Hero.]

Primis remained silent and mummer.

'Primis: Killing the Hero and the Main Characters. Huh.'

[Yes. Unlike me other Systems won't give things to their Host for free. Their Host must kill countless monsters and others to get the system currency to buy stuff from their System. Not only that, but they also must complete missions to get reward and avoid penalty. Such people can't remain hidden no matter how much they will try to be low profiled.]

After hearing this, Primis closed his eyes to rest in tree shade. Outside Primis will always remain on guard no matter what he was doing. Only in Home he let his guard down to rest. Time went by and soon 30-minutes were over. Primis sensed something and opened his eyes. Next, he got up and looked at Cocoon in the sky. The Cocoon was now shining brightly. Soon, cracks started to appear on it.

CRACK!!!

CRACK!!!

CRACK!!!

...

…

As more crack started to appear light was radiating more and more. Soon it covered the whole Horizon.

[PRIMIS ENTER YOUR AWAKENING NOW.]

Primis also realized things were not looking good as pressure was falling on him. So, he hurriedly entered his Awakening. Once he entered his Awakening, pressure could no longer affect him.

CRACK!!!!

CRACK!!!!

CRACK!!!!

...

…

Soon more cracks started to appear but suddenly they stopped. Nevertheless, light was becoming more intense. Unstable power was being released everywhere. Primis just waved his hand to protect his House and Tree from being destroying. Seeing that power was becoming more unstable, Primis realized that something was wrong.

[Choose her gender.]

'Primis: Huh?'

[Even though we are treating her like a little girl, in the end she is genderless. Now that she is in the process of evolving into 4th Level Existence, you must choose her gender now or she will bulge up and explode because of excess power.]

'Primis: Female.'

Primis didn't need to think twice to answer that. Once he decided that, the Cocoon burst and the next seen made Primis opened his eyes wide. He can't believe what he is seeing.

BOOM!!!!!

In front of him was a thousand and thousands of miles of serpent, whose scales bathed in the trans-lucent glimmer of the stars, devoid of any traits that comply with the order of all things living in this world. In short, it was a serpent that far transcended the natural realm.

'Primis: Don't tell me this is----'

[Yes. Ophis True form. Infinite self-devouring and self-creating snake. Although it has now reached a whole different level after evolving into 4th Level Existence.]

Primis eyes narrowed as he looked at Ophis true form. He now completely understood what Ophis truly is. Ophis' actual form was as unnatural and abnormally illogical to the mortal mind. To simply call her a serpent doesn't do full justice to the majestically sinister nature of the Ouroboros. Ophis's true form was something the eyes of lesser beings should never gaze upon, as the sheer incomprehensibility of it evokes constant vertigo and disorientation.

BDUMP!!!!

BDUMP!!!!!

THUD!!!!!

THUD!!!!

Loud voice of heartbeat sounded. Primis frowned and looked at Ophis. It felt completely different from when he made Lili his Half-Member. That time it felt like in his heart there are two heartbeats. But now it feels like his and Ophis heart was one. They were in complete Sync.

[This is happening because Ophis become Permanent-Member. Your hearts are one. Your lives are one. If you die Ophis will die with you. This means when you will die, all your Permanent-Members will die with you.]

Primis sighed and looked at Ophis. But this time there was love in his eyes.

'Primis: One life, One death.'

[Exactly.]

Primis kept on looking at Ophis Majestic form. Seeing that Ophis was still not opening her eyes, Primis floated in the air and fly towards her.

[YOU EVEN HOW TO FLY.]

'Primis: Why are you so astonished? Did you forgot I was flying even in that Endless Void? Flying is a piece of cake for me in my Awakening Form.'

[Ah. I forgot that. Origin Force, Huh.]

'Primis: Yes.'

Soon Primis reached the reach of Ophis. He floated towards her head and put his hand on it. Then he started caressing her head which was covered with scales bathed in the trans-lucent glimmer of the stars lovingly. If someone looked from distance, then you will see that Primis looked like an ant in front of Ophis current form.

[Good thing that no one is here right now. Ophis true form is not something those below 4th Level Existence can see. The reason why you didn't get affected is because you are in your Awakening Form right now. Otherwise…...]

Twilight didn't continue but Primis understood what she meant clearly.

[Primis, remember to keep Ophis by your side all the time.]

Primis frowned and asked.

'Primis: Why?'

[According to plot, Ophis would have something called "Unholy Eater's Curse Mark" in future.]

'Primis: "Unholy Eater's Curse Mark".'

[Yes. It is a curse mark filled with Samael's blood which Ophis willingly had put in her left eye. The curse mark serves the purpose of a suppressor that covers up Ophis' vast aura. The mark also puts a restraint on her power, lowering her strength, which allows her to fight in earnest with weaker beings without effortlessly destroying them. But now, she not only possessed 100% of her power but she also evolved into 4th Level Existence. Reaching a whole different realm.]

'Primis: You mean "Unholy Eater's Curse Mark" is useless now.'

[Exactly. However, now that she has become Permanent-Member, even though her power won't be restrained, her vast aura can be suppressed. So, be sure she remained by your side all the time.]

Primis nodded. After some time seeing that Ophis was not waking, Primis spoke gently.

Primis: Wake Up, Ophis.

As if she heard Primis call, Ophis opened her eyes slowly. Current Ophis eyes look different. Even though her eyes were still dark in color like abyss who will devour one's soul, now there was even violet color in them.

A mixture of Dark and Purple color. Still there was no pupil in them. Primis was looking directly into her eyes, neither being affected by her Vast Aura nor her Abyss like eyes. They both kept looking into each other eyes. Few moments later, Ophis body started to shine and started to become smaller and smaller until a human silhouette could be seen.
