Bab 169: Chapter 165: Departure.
"Fireworks?" A few looked around while a few tilted their heads. The sun was setting in the west, the sun was getting closer and closer. After a period of 30 minutes-1 hour, it could be a very good time for fireworks. However, this was not a good time to talk about fireworks.
The girls didn't understand why Blake was asking this. They didn't even ask him directly. They thought about their words for a moment. Thinking about Blake's earlier words, they looked at the woman who had appeared beside them. On the one hand, they were thinking about their previous plans.
"Is it time to go?" Momo was the first to find the answer. She pointed at Blake with her index finger. The cute smart girl was the first to discover secrets about all of Blake's, and she's keeping it.
"Right." Blake winked at her with a small smile. Momo tiptoed off with a small "Yatta~". The two airbags swung violently, it was hypnotic to watch the airbags bounce thanks to her clothes revealing them.
The girls understood what she meant by that. Even Rei and Ryukyu, who had just joined them, were aware of what Momo meant. The girls had told them about Blake's situation, and they had talked to Blake about it. That's why they didn't ask about this issue.
On the contrary, all of them were filled with curiosity and a desire to explore. They would enter a world outside of their league. Blake had made it clear that he wouldn't do it alone, he would do it with them. They would see the place where their existence was connected, in a way they would meet their creators.
They would see many different worlds, many different people, and "people" who looked like them. From what they heard from Blake and Nejire and Momo, who was constantly talking about these issues with him, they would be able to see new powers and power systems.
Even the furthest from these matters, Rei felt a tingling in her heart. Mankind had the instinct to feel curious about the unknown as much as he was afraid of the unknown.
The girls were feeling it right now. Maybe what they saw would turn their perspectives upside down, maybe they would question their existence. None of them could predict what would happen in the future. However, they could not suppress their deep-seated desire to explore the unknown.
There were also those with different feelings. Nejire wanted to meet reincarnators like Blake, while Momo wanted to study the power systems in other worlds and substances in different worlds that could help improve her Quirk. War maniac Rumi, on the other hand, wanted to take on powerful people from other worlds.
Although everyone had different opinions, the main idea was the same.
Everyone was ready to explore the new world with Blake.
"Are you going to go first?" It was Nejire who asked the question. She had her sunglasses on her forehead. With one hand behind her back, she walked over to Blake and asked.
She knew they couldn't go with Blake. Blake wouldn't go with them to an unknown world. She was sure Blake would go first and call them after he had some reassurance or the confidence to bring them in.
''How long won't you be around this time?" Fuyumi took a step forward and gripped Blake's arm nervously. A clear reluctance hung on her face. Blake's disappearance last time had left them a little traumatized, and they were worried that something similar would happen this time around.
While Blake was talking to them about the multiverse and reincarnation, he also explained to them the reason behind his disappearance.
They knew that Blake had disappeared that day because he had gone to another world. They didn't know about that world and what Blake was going through. However, they were aware of the reason behind Blake's disappearance. And they didn't want that to happen again.
No one would want the person they care about to disappear for four months without saying a word. Especially if it was Blake, who had enthroned the hearts of a group of young and middle-aged women, none of the spoiled girls attached to him wanted Blake to disappear again for such a long time.
Fuyumi's words made a light bulb go on in the minds of others. Their gaze instantly shifted to Blake. Tens of thousands of questions flew out of their eyes at once to Blake.
"Haha, no, no. There will be no such thing. This time my trips will be daily." Blake gave a small laugh. He waved away the imaginary questions that came to him. He placed his free hand on Fuyumi's hair, which looked sexier than she should have, and rubbed it lightly.
He bowed his head. His messy white hair bounced back to its usual shape, which should have been wet because he had just come out of the water, but had been indefinitely dry. A few strands of hair fell on his forehead and in front of his sunglasses. The corner of his lip curled upward, forming a charismatic smile.
'Don't worry. It won't happen again, okay?" Fuyumi's vision was covered by Blake's handsome face. Blake's sunglasses fell slightly, revealing his black eyes behind him, which contained a pair of universes within them.
Two pieces of white balls spun around Fuyumi's pupils, stirring up the blue ocean in her pupils. She looked down, her lips curved up, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She shook her head lightly, with delicate and precious emotion. A small murmur escaped her lips.
"Mhm."
"Very well." Blake nodded in satisfaction. His posture was straightened, his masculine figure gleaming in the sun. His one-ninety-tall figure was like a pillar standing in the middle of the girls. He turned his head from side to side. When he came to a certain person, he stopped and walked to that person with a helpless smile.
"Come with me." When he came to that person, he did not stop and continued walking. He spoke in a tone that everyone could hear as he passed by. His hands rested comfortably on either side.
Teka was staring at Lilith with eyes that were burning with anger as Blake passed her. Her forehead was covered with veins that spread all over her forehead, starting from her eyebrows. Her widened eyes had never left Lilith for a moment the entire time. Her fists were clenched together with her vein-covered wrist, similarly covered in visible veins.
Lilith was looking at her from the opposite side, but on the contrary, she had a bright smile on her face, very calm, unlike Teka, who was showing open anger. She was sitting on the edge of the chaise lounge, her elbows on her knees. She was supporting her chin with both hands, smiling at Teka the entire time.
"Teka..."
"I'm right behind you."
As Blake was about to call out to Teka once more, Teka turned her head slightly and spoke. After giving Lilith one last glance, she turned around and walked with Blake to the other side of the yacht.
The duo came out of the girls' sight with serial steps. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Among the low cries of the seagulls returning to their nests, the sound of the calm waves of the ocean could be heard. Alone with the smell of salty ocean water, the girls watched the two go, then turned to Lilith in the middle.
Lilith didn't look at them. She continued to stare at the place where Blake and Teka had disappeared. She was swinging her feet back and forth. She wanted Blake to come as soon as possible and sail to other worlds.
**
Blake and Teka arrived at the back of the third floor of the yacht. A small balcony and a small section were coming out of there. If one wanted to spend time alone or with someone, he could come here. Unfortunately, it was too small to accommodate more than two people or it would have been girls favorite with its beautiful ocean views.
Blake and Teka arrived here as they were walking with Blake in the front and Teka in the back. When Blake reached the balcony, he stopped and turned around. Teka stood with him, one step ahead of Blake. She folded her arms under her chest, her two majestic mounds becoming more majestic than they were.
Blake had an expression fitted with a mild smile. His warm gaze fell on her. One corner of his lip was curved upwards, and his cheekbones were slightly raised. He was like a father looking after his daughter who was having a tantrum. He carried an unlimited amount of dedication, patience, and heartfelt warmth. He had a pleasant expression on his face, like the setting sun behind him.
Blake's expression caused Teka's stern expression to soften. Some of the rage in her blue eyes, as bright as midday in the sky, vanished, giving way to good feelings. The veins on her forehead disappeared, and the "+" shaped vein on her right fist disappeared.
Yet her stern expression did not disappear for a moment. Her frowns were there, her gaze still filled with some kindness and various precious emotions, still a great deal of anger. This anger was not against the man but against someone else.
And Blake was well aware of that. Teka's anger was not directed at him for a moment. All her anger was against Lilith, the one and only who ruined her life.
"Talk to me." Blake extended his right hand to the woman. He grasped her hand, which was pleasant to the touch, and peculiarly soft. He didn't run his fingers over hers, just holding her hand while giving her warm glances.
However, this was enough to melt the woman's anger a little bit. Teka responded to Blake's grip. She grabbed Blake's hand. She looked into Blake's eyes. The emotions on her handsome face, shadowed by the sweet orange light of the setting sun, were as heartwarming as the sun setting on the horizon of the ocean waves.
It was so strange that he looked at her with such strong and almost incarnate kindness and love, even though he had seven other lovers with her.
"I'm so angry, Blake. I feel lava flowing inside me that looks like my hair. Hot and scorching. Lava never affected me that way. You can see how angry I am from here, right?' She had a small smile as she looked at Blake. Confirming her words, her hair turned as orange as the setting sun.
The temperature of the environment increased drastically. The air around the two people looking at each other fluctuated, making it difficult to see the surroundings. Nothing happened to the yacht, but the ocean waters around the yacht were evaporating violently, steam was constantly coming out and rising into the sky.
"I can understand. I know you're angry." Blake glanced at her hair for a moment and nodded in understanding. Even though she didn't show it on the outside, Teka was foaming with anger. He knows that.
He ran his hand through her hair that was falling down her shoulders. He stuck some of her lava hair between his index and middle fingers.
'This always surprises me…' He should have said, Teka's hair had an extraordinary texture. It didn't feel like real hair, but it didn't feel like something else either. It felt like it was right in the middle of them.
He didn't know exactly how to define it. It had a somewhat plastic feel to it. But at the same time, it was like a soft slime. It was between real and unreal. It had a texture that was engraved in the mind of the person, which made him want to touch it constantly and experience this feeling again.
However, it was not as hot as it should be. It had a yellow-orange color like hot metal. As long as the person touched it, his limbs were supposed to burn to ashes. But her hair, hot enough to steam the ocean around the yacht, didn't hurt Blake when he touched it.
"Lilith… she ruined my life. She made me break up with my husband… my ex-husband Yoshino, and it almost broke up my family. Because of her, I went into a depression that I couldn't get out of, for exactly 5 months, 18 days, 27 hours, and I was almost broken…"
Again those sweet, "ex-husband" words. No matter how many times these words were said, they affected Blake. It had a sweet tone. This little effort of the woman in front of him always managed to impress him.
"I don't like being interfered with in my life. No matter how bad it is… my life, is my life. No one touched it except you. And it won't. But Lilith…" Teka turned her gaze to the side, watching the undulating surface of the ocean. After taking a deep sigh, she continued.
"She interfered my life… she destroyed my family. On top of that, she acts recklessly, as if she was right to do it and as if what she did was right."
To explain this with an example; Teka had feelings for someone who burned her house and then gave her a new one. Her old house was in ruins, falling apart, and could collapse on its own at any moment. Her new home was a very fresh, newly built place that felt like a real home.
Despite all this, her old house was also her home. Even though she was drowning in it and wanted to either fix the house or leave the house as soon as possible, the house was still hers. Lilith appeared out of nowhere, setting her house on fire. Then, when he had won herself a new house, she had reappeared and acted recklessly, as if she had given the house she had won on her own to her.
Her new home was fine, but that didn't change the fact that Lilith burned down her old home.
Blake didn't say anything. He waited silently for the woman to vomit her anger. Teka sighed in anger after her speech. She felt a little bit better after she got over her anger. She continued in a good mood.
"That's why I hate her. I don't even want to be in the same room with her, let alone do anything with her." She turned her head to the side and looked into an uncertain corner. Her beautiful blue eyes stared into space. Looking closely, it was possible to see embers burning in the depths of her gaze.
"…" During her thoughts, her gaze cleared in an instant. Her eyes flickered in her pupils and she cast a sideways glance at Blake.
"I don't want you to do it either."
Blake didn't answer the woman. He continued to stare at her for a while. Their gazes did not leave each other for a second. The rays of the setting sun bathed them, salty ocean breezes ruffled their hair. The seagulls on their way to their nests were flapping their wings overhead and drifting further and further away from them. Reflecting the orange rays of the sun, the oceans were home to whales struggling to breathe before the night began.
Blake's smile softened. Strengthening his grip, he pinched the lava hair between his two fingers even tighter. He treated them like a precious pieces that he didn't want to lose. Just like an owner. His emotions seemed to overflow, adding a deeper meaning to his gaze
Teka couldn't make sense of his gaze and expression. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Blake's speech stopped her.
''I can't do it. If it was any other issue… I could compromise or give up. But on this one… I can't compromise. "Grasping the lava hair with two fingers, he wrapped it around his index finger and lifted it. The piece of hair, which was trying to get back to its original state, curled a bit and fell and merged with the rest of the lava.
"Why?" Teka tilted her head slightly. She placed her hands on her hips, habitually tilting her body over her right foot, making her left hip more prominent.
"How would you like to… learn from her? She has the answers to all your questions. If you're not happy with the answers to your questions, I can finish this. But for once, you have to get out of here. You all must get out."
"Again, Why? Where?" Teka was even more confused. It was the first time she had seen Blake speak so mysteriously and vaguely. He wasn't saying anything to her, and that was somehow frustrating.
"You're going to have to learn the answer from her for that one." Blake put his finger to her lips and silenced her. Teka frowned even more deeply. But she didn't push his hand away. She glared at him for a while, then sighed and shook her head helplessly.
She knew Blake well. Even though he was so sweet and kind right now, she wouldn't get any response from him. Blake had the stubbornness and methods to make even an indomitable woman like her give up. She was sure that by the end of this conversation, either reluctantly or sweetly, she would make her give up.
That's why she never started this conversation from the start and agreed helplessly.
"Sighh* Okay, okay. I will ask her. So are we going to watch fireworks now?"
''Would you like?''
"Yeah, show me a big one."
"One of the biggest. Take your place. I will be ready."

"It's Beginning~ It's Beginning~"
The vast ocean surface was undulating as usual. Small waves crashed on top of each other. Foamy waves were dispersing on the shore and in various places. Various ships, such as freighters, cruise ships, and inter-island cruisers, were traveling to and from various destinations, one after the other.
At a distance from them, but not too far, an envelope white-blue yacht was moored, resting in the center of a large mass of water as if it owned the entire ocean. It stood where it was, its nose pointing at the sun with only a small part of it.
When looking carefully, it was possible to see figures standing on one side of this yacht. Getting closer and closer, it was possible to see these people, a group of beautiful women, each more beautiful than the other and each with their unique beauty, watching a particular place.
The expression of each of them carried great excitement to see what was to come soon. One of them, the girl with the periwinkle-colored hair and the sunglasses, started jumping and clapping her hands. Looking in the same spot as the others, it was clear that she was impatient for what was to come.
Where all these girls were looking, at a distant point on the east side of the white yacht, one person was standing alone in the water. Yes, he was standing comfortably on the water. On a microscopic level, it was possible to see tens of thousands of tiny lightning bolts holding him in the water, starting with his feet.
This person was a handsome young man with hair even cleaner than the yacht behind him. He was wearing a one-piece shirt. His shirt was worn very casually. Her top three buttons were unbuttoned, his mouthwatering muscles fully exposed. His shorts didn't even reach his knees, his legs like two pillars completely exposed, with perfectly muscled legs that most leg builders dream of wet.
His hands were resting casually at his sides. His well-trained, triangular body stood erect. Over the rough ocean, a single piece of water did not touch his body. His clothes were swaying due to the wind, and his messy hair fluttered left and right as he watched the sky.
"You're finally leaving, huh?" Blake continued to stare at the sky. He heard a female voice in his ears, penetrating the person's brain. He nodded, answering between his lips.
"Yes, it's time."
''Finally. I've been waiting for you to step into the infinite universe for a very long time. Readers were waiting too.''
''Who?''
"Don't worry about my last words. You don't need to know." Seated on her throne, supporting her chin with her hand, Scathach watching him. She was crossing one leg over the other, rocking it back and forth slightly. Her wine-red eyes shone with a mysterious light.
''OK. Everything about you is already out of my reach right now. Anything else I should know?" Blake shrugged indifferently. He continued to gaze at the sky, where there was not a single piece of cloud.
Something was spinning between his five fingers as he continued to look left and right. Clusters of orange-yellow and colorless lightning swirled between the five fingers of his right hand, swirling around like a snake, twisting and doing the same things.
"Just one thing. Once out, you'll have a short time to come back. The multiverse is like a mysterious fog. The more you explore, the more you dive in. And the more you dive into it, the more greedy you become to explore. You must be back as soon as possible."
"How long are we talking about?"
"Hm, let me think. This time depends on how many events you're involved in and how many timelines you've changed. Since I will help you, we can take this as the first month. If you can get back here in that one month, this will be your safe haven. But if you fail to return… unfortunately, you will suffer from the events of the Golden World and the Multiverse."
"Well, I'm not the one to decide that. Girls. To me… that seems like a good thing to die for."
"Oh, yes it is."
''Let's start. Do I need to do anything with Lilith?" Blake stepped forward, put his left hand on his right shoulder, and began to twist his right arm. Bundles of orange-yellow and colorless lightning kept swirling on his fingers.
"No, you only have to do one thing;
To run.''
"Okay." Blake spread his arms wide. His movement carried great momentum for a human. With his gesture, the girls rose on their toes.
It was starting.
Blake raised his right arm so the girls could see it. Two lightning clusters meet in the palm. The shapeless and colorless lightning bolts he received from that strange spirit form combined with the orange lightning bolts he received from Simon.
He took a deep breath through his nose and exhaled loudly through his mouth. He blinked. His eyelids closed, and when he opened them back, all emotion disappeared from his face, replaced by absolute solemnity.
He brought his hand close to his mouth and, without waiting any longer, thrust the lightning into his mouth. The lightning bolts that entered his body suddenly dispersed and blended into his body.
"Hmmm~!" With his eyes closed, a small murmur leaked from Blake's lips. He felt very strange right now. The lightning bolts that entered his body seemed to fill his entire body with energy, including his smallest cells.
Crackle! Crackle!
He felt a great urge to run. His feet longed to run, he wanted to be caught in the devilish sweetness of freedom as he ran. Every part of his body was screaming for him to step forward. This feeling was fueled by the lightning bolts coming out of his body and whipping the air.
Crackle! Crackle!
The lightning got bigger. Blake couldn't see it as he closed his eyes to feel the obsessively strong urge to run, but as soon as he swallowed the lightning bolts began to emerge from his body.
Lightning would appear in various parts of his body for a moment and disappear the next moment. As the seconds passed, more and more lightning broke out, growing in size and thickness. The lightning bolts that shot out of his body whipped the air, making small or large "Crackle" sounds.
CRAcKle! CRAcKle! CRAcKle!
In just a minute, the lightning had grown to gigantic proportions. There were no storm clouds gathered or exaggerated thunder as before. However, the lightning bolts from Blake's body alone were enough. Blake itself looked like a cloud filled with lightning.
"Waahhhhh~~" The girls watching this from afar, especially those who had never seen Blake like this, screamed in surprise. Yes, they had seen his lightning bolts, but this was on television. There was a big difference between actually witnessing it and seeing it on TV.
And now when they witnessed it with their own eyes, they could see that the white lightning bolts were white enough to fall in love with. Just looking at it lightened one's mood and made one feel as if they had been cleansed of their sins. Most importantly, no matter how much they looked at it, their eyes did not hurt.
Especially as a small child, Eri felt her heart beat violently the moment she saw this scene. The darkness surrounding her heart disappeared under the flash of white lightning. It was such a strong white that even darkness was not sinful enough to stain it.
It had a pure, clean, pristine, and most importantly, elegant white color.
Between the gazes of the girls, lightning suddenly began to gather in the center. Lightning crawling across the ocean surface, lightning whipping through the air or randomly flashing around, entered Blake's body and disappeared.
The atmosphere was filled with an awkward silence. The entire ocean went quiet. Blake stood silently in the middle of the ocean. His clothes were undamaged, he stood undamaged above the water and continued to watch ahead.
''What happened-''
CRACKLE!!
As one of the girls was about to speak, they heard the loudest flash of lightning they had ever heard. The sky was torn apart. The sound barrier had been breached long ago, and various shock waves were propagating on the ocean surface. The yacht was bobbing to the right and left, and the waves forming on the still sea surface were getting bigger. In the midst of all this, a huge amount of lightning came together and illuminated the world.
Not only the ocean, but even the coast of Japan shone an elegant white light for a moment. The sun had set, and it was dark. With all this, the white lightning had become more dazzling.
Vhom!
The girls heard a voice. The sound was quite strange. It was as if someone or something was running so fast that even the air was forcibly pushed by it and such a sound appeared.
The world in the view of girls has completely changed. Blake, covered in lightning a second before, had vanished the next moment and was circling in circles.
It was so fast that it was impossible to know how many laps it took while they were breathing. It could have once, or it could have gone a few tens of rounds. They weren't sure. But there was one thing they were sure of. It was also that Blake's speed was increasing.
The blackness that represented Blake was fading away in the white stripe that swirled around them. With each turn, the blackness disappeared, while a purer whiteness appeared on the strip. This meant only one thing, Blake's speed was increasing.
And they were right. At first, Blake Mach 3.5 was between 4000-4250 km/h. However, after swallowing two lightning bolts, his speed increased dramatically. And it continued to increase.
Mach 4… Mach 5… Mach 6…. Mach 7…. Mach 7.5.
9238 km/h
Its speed more than doubled and stopped at exactly 9238 km/h. However, even this had long exceeded the reaction level of the people. That wouldn't make Blake invincible, but it gave him great confidence to step into the Multiverse.
Vhom! Vhom! Vhom!
"Time to go… See you later girls…" These words aroused the girls from their amazement. The voice they heard, belonging to the man they loved, seemed to come both from their side and from everywhere.
Now they were realizing that at some unknown time, a few hundred meters from the yacht, a portal-like rift had appeared. The portal was two meters wide and two meters high. It had deep blue-black colors that represented space, and with a single glance at it, they could see dozens of galaxies when it contained them.
Whom!
There was a muffled sound, and the circle of hundreds of meters wide white stripe disappeared. Blake appeared before them for a moment. Time slowed down, the man covered in white lightning was standing one step away from them and watching them with a soft smile.
Blake slowly raised his hand and waved at them. The next moment he disappeared, the white stripe representing Blake entered through the portal and disappeared.
And with that, Blake was out of this world.
