"You're pretty amazing too."
Hinata Hyuga revealed a gentle smile and withdrew her fair, tender finger that Roman had been holding in his mouth.
For Hinata Hyuga, today was also an exceptionally special day.
She had originally believed that although she had reincarnated, without any cheat, even if she ate and drank well and developed all her potential to the utmost, she could at most reach the level of a Super Kage like Hyuga Celestial Ninja.
—It would be impossible to reach the Six Paths Level.
But now Roman had appeared. Roman was an incredibly special existence, another version of herself, a humanoid cheat... Simply staying by her side could increase Hinata Hyuga's strength!
This was simply wonderful!
That was why Hinata Hyuga had previously suggested living together with her other self, Roman, and staying together for the rest of their lives.
Unfortunately, that old man had refused.
What a pity!
As Hinata thought this, she felt somewhat regretful.
And just then, Hinata suddenly heard Roman's voice. "Hinata, do you feel like there's something in our heads?"
"Something?"
"Yes. A mysterious hall shrouded in chaotic mist."
Hinata tilted her head, a puzzled expression appearing on her face.
She then closed her eyes and carefully sensed it. Sure enough, at the location of her mind and soul, she perceived the mysterious hall Roman had mentioned, faintly visible amid black mist.
???
Why had a mysterious hall suddenly appeared inside her head?
Wait... Could this be the cheat belonging to Roman and me? Did our contact finally activate it completely?
Just as Hinata considered this, she felt her soul and consciousness being sucked into the hall.
When her consciousness returned, she immediately discovered that she had arrived inside the mysterious misty hall. There was a huge round table within, surrounded by ninety-nine empty seats. Candlelight dispelled the black chaotic mist around them, filling the place with mystery.
What exactly was this?
Looking at this exceptionally mysterious place, unease began to rise within Hinata.
Just then, she felt someone take her hand. Turning her head, she immediately saw Roman. Roman smiled freely and said, "As expected, Hinata, you were pulled into this mysterious hall too."
Seeing Roman's smile, Hinata inexplicably felt at ease. Her uneasiness completely vanished, and she softly asked Roman, "Do you know what this place is?"
Roman gently shook his head. "I don't know, but I'm guessing this thing is probably our cheat. After all, if it wanted to harm us after bringing our consciousness here, it should have acted already."
Hinata thought about it for a while and felt that made sense.
Just then, Roman continued, "Let's go over there. Find a seat and sit down. Maybe then we'll learn exactly where this Chaos Hall with its huge round table is."
"Okay."
Hinata agreed.
Then, the two held hands and walked to a seat together. The instant they sat down, their consciousnesses received an unfamiliar stream of information:
This was a Chaos Hall above the black mist.
The round table was the Table of Destiny!
The Chaos Hall and the Table of Destiny had only one purpose: to welcome the soul fragments belonging to Roman.
Furthermore, this stream of information explained that as time passed, more and more reincarnated versions of Roman's soul fragments, scattered across countless worlds after being smashed apart by the Great Transport Truck, would arrive here!
Every seven days, the Chaos Hall would open...
After Roman and Hinata finished reviewing the information, they looked at each other and said, "Sure enough, our earlier guess was right. This mysterious hall really does belong to Roman. It's our cheat!
"It may have existed ever since we transmigrated, but it simply hadn't been activated.
"Only after the two of us met did this hall rise above the chaotic black mist and officially open.
"Perhaps we're the first batch of Roman's reincarnations to arrive here!"
"No matter what, this is a good thing."
Hinata smiled faintly. "Perhaps it won't be long before a newly reincarnated Roman arrives here. I just wonder what they have reincarnated into."
Roman nodded slightly, then glanced at the densely packed seats surrounding the round table. "This place welcomes the return of the original Roman's reincarnated bodies—the Roman who was smashed apart by the Great Transport Truck. And with so many chairs here, perhaps the Great Transport Truck smashed the original Roman into N pieces."
"Not N pieces. Most likely ninety-nine pieces... because there are ninety-nine chairs here."
"But splitting one person's soul into ninety-nine pieces is truly terrifying!"
After Roman sighed, he suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from beyond the black mist.
?!
Roman and Hinata turned to look at once. They immediately saw a figure emerge from the black mist, gradually becoming clearer. Soon, she completely stepped out of the mist.
She was an exquisitely beautiful girl with short silver-blue hair and a splendid top hat on her head. Her clothing was also exceptionally luxurious, making her look like an aristocrat.
The instant Roman and Hinata saw her, they recognized who she was through memories from before their reincarnation:
The queen of all waters, all lands, all people, and all laws.
Fontaine's Hydro Archon, Furina.
The fact that she could come here meant that she too was a reincarnation of one of Roman's soul fragments.
Roman found this immensely unexpected. He had originally thought it was already extraordinarily fortunate for one soul fragment to reincarnate as Hinata Hyuga. He had never expected another of Roman's soul fragments to be even luckier, directly reincarnating as a god.
Fontaine's Hydro Archon!
Unlike Roman and Hinata's surprise and astonishment,
Furina, who had only recently arrived at the Chaos Temple, was utterly terrified inside.
After all, although she was the true Hydro Archon, she was not Focalors, the divine body and divinity of the Hydro Archon. She was Furina, the humanity separated and cut away from Focalors. She had neither a Vision nor the power of the Hydro Archon's Divine Throne!
She had fallen asleep in the Palais Mermonia, only to suddenly arrive in a place filled with black mist. Naturally, she felt deeply afraid and terrified...
Where exactly was this place?
Furina timidly moved forward. At last, she left the chaotic black mist and entered an enormous hall. There, she saw a huge round table, as well as the two people sitting in chairs with their hands clasped beneath their chins, and froze on the spot:
Hinata Hyuga?
And Hinata Hyuga during her childhood, before she had fully grown up?!
And the other person looked like me before I reincarnated?!
What exactly was going on with those two people?
Was what I was seeing an illusion, or was it real...
At this moment, Furina's mind fell into chaos.
