I Reincarnated As A Stick

Chapter 92: Just Endure

Within the Celestial Plane, inside a white cube that was perpetually hovering on the vast void of space.

At the moment, Kurohana was paying close attention to the happenings after her little idea, wherein a few minutes for her was already around half a day for the being within the orb, in this case Aurus.

It only took around 30 seconds for the expression on Kurohana’s face to turn into a smile as her idea was a great success. Although she could not help but feel disappointed that Aurus did not touch the new feature he could access and experiment, she knew that with what she did, Aurus would eventually touch it, allowing him to become a catalyst at an even faster rate.

“Although this idea was done on a whim, I’m surprised that the first part actually worked,” Kurohana muttered to herself, satisfied with the effects of her idea. Now, what was her idea, you might ask.

Well that idea was made up of two parts, the first part was that she would manipulate a certain law that was stronger than hers to coerce Aurus to use his OS Point to unseal another part of his memory which she sealed, as a backdrop to the second part of her idea so Aurus would not have any fishy thoughts on the emergence of said second part.

As for the second part, it was something Aurus has touched already, the Soul Enchantment System! Indeed, this feature added to Aurus’ already existing Existence Evolution System was made out of a whim in order to increase the chances of Aurus being used as a weapon material.

“If I remember the purpose of the system correctly, once Aurus uses the system, his soul will become developed until it reaches an extent where it exudes an unconsciously strong aura that would entice multiple humans to grab him and use him as the core material of a weapon!” Remembering the true purpose of the system, Kurohana could not help but chuckle and expect the day where Aurus is used as material.

“Manipulating a small portion of that law is definitely worth it, no matter what!” Her chuckle intensified to the extent where her chuckle was now a cackle that resonated throughout the insides of the white cube. Fortunately, only she could hear that loud cackle.

The law that she manipulated was not just any law that was on par with the law that she was trying to master, but rather, it was a law far stronger than hers, an Immortal Verdict [1]! As for which Immortal Verdict it was, only the Immortal Verdict of Fate could manipulate the choices of a being that much!

An Immortal Verdict is a law that has been mastered to the point where the wielder of said law can even control other laws without breaking a sweat. As for the number of Immortal Verdicts that existed within the Celestial Plane, only 8 existed from its birth up till now!

Ring! Ring! Ring!

“Hm?” Hearing a ringing sound coming from the orb, Kurohana’s chuckle was stopped to an abrupt halt, replaced with her eyebrow being raised as she accepted a call, the only reason why the orb she made would ring.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the image of Aurus traversing the Lesser Experience Haven was replaced with the view of a peaceful shore, a cheerful and innocent-looking girl around the ages of 13 to 15 with her hair the color of the sea being in the middle.

Instantly recognizing the girl that called her, Kurohana composed her inwardly and lightly smiled as she took the initiative to start the conversation. “Neri, how are you~? What made you call your big sister~?”

Rather than answer with a smile on her face, Neri, who was the girl on the orb, slightly frowned as her cheeks puffed up while replying, “Big Sis Kurohana, why didn’t you ask for my permission first if you were going to manipulate the flow of events for a being? Not only that, you not only manipulated my law, but you skipped my law altogether and messed with Big Sis Phatia’s law!”

Kurohana was stunned for a bit after hearing the incessant amount of words coming out of Neri’s mouth. She also realized that what she did was on a whim, not even obtaining the permission of the gods who wielded the laws she used on Aurus. It was Neri’s full right to get angry at her since Neri was the goddess of the Law of Natural Flow.

As for Big Sis Phatia that Neri mentioned, she was the wielder of the greater law that Kurohana manipulated, the Wielder of the Immortal Verdict of Fate.

Finally realizing the amount of trouble she was going to end up with, Kurohana could not help but have a sad expression on her face as she replied, “Neri, I truly apologize for not asking for your permission! It was just that I was almost close to procuring a great material for a new weapon I was going to make, and I only needed a little bit of fate to make it happen!”

Neri, knowing fully well that her Big Sis Kurohana was one of the most renowned craftspeople within the Celestial Plane, hastily understood the reason why Kurohana did not bother asking for her permission due to its suddenness, plus adding the fact that Kurohana’s words were sincere to her made her expression become more comforting as she replied, “Ahh…if that’s the case, then Big Sis Kurohana is forgiven! I just hope that next time you manipulate fate, you should at least notify us that you’re going to do that so we won’t mind it! Don’t worry, I’ll explain the situation to Big Sis Phatia as well~!”

Hearing that Neri was going to help remove some of the complaints she was going to get after what she has done, Kurohana could not help but let out a sigh of relief as she smiled once more. “Thank you Neri~! Your Big Sis is definitely going to make you an incredibly cute weapon for free~!”

“Really?!” Neri could not help but exclaim due to her love for cute stuff. “Thank you so so much Big Sis!”

After which, Neri said her goodbyes to Kurohana before hanging the call up. Kurohana could not help but let out a sigh from Neri’s deal. Why? She knew that Neri was not the only god that had their law manipulated with.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

A few seconds after Neri’s call ended, another god called Kurohana up, to which she had no choice but to answer the call.

Whoosh!

At the next instant after accepting the call, an extremely skinny old man with its skin color being a pale gray, appeared within the orb, giving Kurohana the shivers for a short bit.

Of course, with her relationship with the god in front of her not being that close, and with the fact that this god had greater control over their own law, Kurohana could not help but be respectful as she greeted, “How do you do, God Animus.”

“Hm,” Animus replied with a gentle yet purposeful grunt. “You know why I called you, right?”

“Yes, and I apologize for that.” Kurohana could only let out a sigh.

Animus was known as the God governing over the Law of the Soul, and he was pretty damn good at governing over this law. Of course, the reason why Animus called Kurohana was due to her using the Law of the Soul on the Soul Enchantment System she made.

“As long as you admit your mistakes, it’s fine.” In an instant, Animus’ voice became gentler to the ears. He then waved his right hand for a bit before clicking his tongue. “Then again, your control over the Law of the Soul needs some work. As the Goddess of Reincarnation, shouldn’t you at least have some basic control over souls?”

Kurohana could only stay silent as Animus continued to ramble on the call.

“As for the Soul Enchantment System you made, hmm…Soul Sigils eh? Definitely an interesting way to bolster the strength of a soul. You don’t mind if I use this in the future, right?”

“I-I don’t mind at all,” With Animus’ strength being greater than her, Kurohana could only comply.

“Well, that’s all I have to say. Next time you try to manipulate another god’s law, you should notify them, okay?” With this as his last statement, Animus finally ended the call with Kurohana.

After the call with Animus ended, another god showed up at the instant the orb was not on call, revealing an extremely buff man that could be said to have the perfect body any woman would die to look for. As for Kurohana, she was indifferent to the man’s body, but his strength was not something to laugh at due to the man’s control over the Law of Improvement.

“How do you do, God Surp,” Kurohana respectfully greeted.

“You know what you did, right?” Surp did not greet her back, instead initiating the conversation with a question.

“Yes.” This was the only answer Kurohana could say.

“Although I respect you as a great craftswoman, you created a system that was not approved by me! I can accept the first system you made since you asked for permission at the instant you thought it up, but for this one, you did not even bother to ask me!”

“I—” Kurohana tried to refute Surp’s statement, only to be interrupted by him.

“No buts. As compensation for not asking for my permission on creating another system, you shall make me a greatsword of the False Archaic grade at the very least, understand?”

“I…haah. I understand.” Seeing that the compensation was only for her to make a weapon of the False Archaic grade which she could craft within 10 minutes, she decided it was better for her to accept his terms.

“Good, I’ll be waiting for it then.” After hearing Kurohana’s confirmation, Surp’s strict tone loosened up a bit before ending the call with her. It was only after Surp’s call did Kurohana obtain her peace.

“Haah…one was understanding, one wanted to teach me, and one wanted to extort me. The first two gods were fine but I should really get stronger.” Kurohana let out a sigh as she slumped down on her chair, reminding herself to ask for the other gods’ permission next time she was going to do something like this.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, the sound of wind breezing could be heard from Kurohana’s behind, making Kurohana stiffen up as she gradually turned her head around. Once her head was fully turned to look behind her, she could see a body that could be said to be adequately beautiful at most, but the face connected to the body was a face that could make whole continents fight for. Not only that, the aura radiating out of the body was an extremely mysterious aura, but with Kurohana’s senses, she was incredibly familiar with this aura.

“B-B-B-Big Sis Phatia! W-W-What are you doing here?”
