Chapter 170: Lunas World

Chapter 170 Lunas World

I consumed Lunas soul in the past . Since then, shes been helping me . Creating the spiritual world to keep the Gluttony skill at bay, and also during my training .

I really cant thank Luna enough for everything she had done .

And that same Lunas only wish, to stop Myne, happened to align with mine .

To fulfill our common wish, I developed a new power for Gluttony skill .

Not to just imprison, but also interact with the souls that it had consumed, allowing me to borrow their certain abilities .

Even skills and abilities that werent part of what God had bestowed to the world .

An example was Lunas (Haniels) unique abilities .

In a sense, its similar to the use of Crossing between me and Greed .

Having consumed their souls, interacting with them was certainly no childs play .

Therefore, I was only able to use Lunas power, as we shared the same goal .

When Luna told me about Mynes past, she also promised me that shed lend me her power .

By achieving an agreement with the soul, the said soul would be able to manifest their power into the world . According to Greed, even the previous holder of Gluttony skill would never come up with such an idea nor be able to achieve the same thing .

Greed who was still in Crossing state with me said .

(Actually paying attention to the person whose soul youve consumed, I guess thats so much like youyou crafty guy . Anyways, Haniels power can be very reliable here . Lets go, Fate!)

Haniels scorching fire orbited around me . In addition to that, the blue barrier was tough enough to withstand even Mynes

Noir Destructo

.

(Fate, we cant waste time . Lunas soul wont hold if you strain her for too long)

Using this power unfortunately would also scrape on Lunas soul .

And its said that when the soul is exhausted, one will cease to exist .

That was the difference from Crossing .

It was a one-sided deal between me and Luna .

As Greed said, the longer I used Haniels powers, Lunas soul would gradually grow weaker .

But even with such a risk, Luna still agreed to fight together in order to stop Myne .

Myne was still distraught from seeing me drawing on Lunas power .

I had only one chance .

Concentrating, I used the blue flames to knock Sloth away from Mynes hand .

And just like that, I opened the barrier so that I could drag Myne to me . Hugging her tightly so that she couldnt escape .

[Luna! Now!]

The barrier closed back, and a bright light filled its interior .

I could feel my consciousness fading away .

When I opened my eyes again, I was greeted by the sight of pure white that stretched as far as I could see .

This was the spiritual world that Luna created inside me .

Myne was also here, lying unconscious next to me .

This was the place Ive chosen to stop Myne, a place where we could talk .

It was Luna and Greeds suggestion .

When fighting her in the real world, they knew that Myne would end up immersed in Wrath skill, thus preventing us from convincing her to stop peacefully .

Sure enough, with Shinns goading her, Myne released the Wrath skill .

Myne in the real world was currently also unconscious .

But even here, the horns on her forehead still remained .

If she woke up, theres a possibility that well have to fight her in the spiritual world .

While I was mulling over that, a hand grabbed my shoulder from behind .

[We somehow made it . Thats the result of using Crossing with this Me . ]

When I turned around, I found Greed in his human form . Combing his red hair with his fingers as he looked smugly at me .

[Hey youcan you really afford to act so relaxed right now! In the real world, Shinn is about to sacrifice the entire Hauzen still!]

[Havent you realized yet?]

Greed snapped back at me .

[How many times have you visited this place already? The time passage in this place is different than the real world . ]

[Is that so?]

[Really now youre truly hopeless . This spiritual world was originally created by Luna to keep the Gluttony skill at bay . Of course, the rules of this world are exactly as Luna wants it to be . ]

[Including the flow of time?]

[Thats just how it is . The flow of time for the soul and body is already different to begin with . ]

Greed mentioned how [The flow of time between the soul and body were different] . My mind was already full with Myne and Hauzen, so I wasnt able to process that information properly . But it slowly sunk in .

When I turned to the still unconscious Myne, Luna was already there kneeling beside her .

[We finally meet again, big sis . ]

She gently stroked Mynes cheek with her hand .

[Its always like this . You shouldnt push yourself too hard . ]

Tears rolled down Lunas cheeks .

Greed also looked pained from seeing this, so he spoke to Luna .

[We have pushed you to do something unreasonable . ]

[Its fine . It was my own decision, and I asked Fate to do it . ]

[Luna you]

[What happens to me doesnt matter . Im already but a fragment of the past . To me, whats most important is big sis, who is still living in the present . So, Fate, thank you . ]

She stood up and held my hand . I felt warm despite the fact that its our spiritual body .

[Iwhat I did was just suppressing Myne . You are the one who brought us here . ]

[No, that isnt necessarily true . You did enough . Its thanks to Fate that I was able to bring big sis here without hurting her . Take pride in that . Dont you think so too, Greed?]

[Yeah, you did really well . More than my expectation . You didnt even step back when facing the Wrath immersed Myne . Not a shred of fear at all . I can tell for sure, because we were in the state of Crossing . ]

Its a bit annoying . That Greed who rarely speaks highly of me suddenly praised me like that, making me feel embarrassed .

[However, the hard part starts now . Luna are you really sure?]

[How come you still ask when we are already in this stage? Of course Im sure . After all Im the only one here who can reach into big sis long closed off heart . ]

[You you do know what that means, right?]

[I do, and I always do . That aside, why is Greed bothered by that? You should make up your mind . Despite all the big talk, you still havent really changed from how you were in the past, have you?]

[That is]

[Still a fainthearted when it really matters . ]

Greed scoffed at Luna who laughed after openly making fun of him .

[I was a crybaby and indecisive in the past But I have resolved myself now . I wish to do everything I can for big sis]

[Just do as you like . ]

[And I will do just that . Lets get started then . Fate, would you please?]

Luna said so as she stretched out one hand to me while her other hand was on the still unconscious Myne .

I reached out to her hand, as prompted .

[Now, well dive . Straight into my sisters heart . Ill guide you, so dont let go of my hand . Humans hearts are like a labyrinth . If you get lost, you may never be able to return .

No need to make it that scary . Id never let go of your hand now .

I couldnt help imagining having to wander forever inside Mynes closed off heart .

All I want is to continue living together as we used to in the real world .

[Are you guys ready?]

[ [ Yes . ] ]

I looked at Greed and Lunas faces, then nodded .

These two were irreplaceable people for me . Without them, theres no way that Id even get this far .

And Myne was also the same .

Thus, with Lunas guidance, we entered into Mynes closed off world (heart) .
