章 112: Thunder Curse Part 3

After meeting them and giving them some introductions, Ragna Twelve then decides to relay all of the situations to the three of them and explain every detail that he wants, even if he had to spill his own origin surely will make them disbelieve.

" I see, I see... "

" Let me get things straight, or no... don't get things straight... "

" Get things branched, I believed... "

" Since these things have something to do with the 'Previous Timelines'... " Raiden says.

" So do you get what I just told you? " Ragna Twelve asks.

" Of course... "

" Based on what you're telling me, you have escaped your timeline by chance and decided to pick your other *selves* from the timelines afterward your Timeline and now you're currently inhabiting the body of yourself from this Timeline... "

" Which is the kid, Ragna Kent who fights the Battle Maiden earlier, before entering this Tower... "

" And now, you're telling me, inside that brat, exists a Divine Thunder Curse that will destroy his very life if it doesn't get stopped!? "Raiden asks Twelve as he still wants clarity on Ragna's Twelve requests for help.

" Precisely, feeling exploded enough? " Twelve asks.

" Feeling explode...? "

" Not just explode, my head is getting nuked right now after hearing all of that... " Raiden says after 'understanding' what Ragna Twelve Chrono Spirit Form just relayed to him.

As Raiden says that, Inquisitor Kara then interrupts both Ragna Twelve and Raiden as a question needs to be released from her mind with her mouth.

" Excuse me... " she raised her hands.

" Mr. Ragna ... Twelve... was it? from the 12th Timeline... " she calls Twelve as she still needs time to adapt to knowing him (After all, she's talking to Ragna from the 12th Timeline, who somehow survive the Universal Reboot and also currently presents himself before her which is something that a human would think to be possible).

" What is it, Inquisitor? have something to protest on my request? " Twelve responds to her, knowing that an Inquisitor like Kara is used to being skeptical.

" Of course, I've been wondering. "

" If this 'Yakan Curse' is still linked to Ragna, I mean..., Ragna Current...I me-... "

" Just call the Current Timeline me by his name Ragna and call me 'Twelve', if you want to get things simpler would you!? " Twelve says as he tells the Inquisitor that he is just a ghost from the Twelve Timeline and the reason why insists they calling him Twelve is to always remind him of everything that happened in that Timeline.

" Please, just call this old ghost spirit from the previous Timeline that you see now by the number of the Timeline I came from, okay... " Twelve says as he still remembers what happened.

" Okay, skip all of the confused introductions later... "

" So Inquisitor, what do you want to ask? " Twelve says as he wants to know what is Inquisitor Kara's question earlier.

" I'm just asking you, Mr. Twelve... "

" If the 'Yakan Curse' is still linked to Ragna, then should Ragna himself could control it? "

" No!!! "

" Don't even think about him controlling it! " Twelve immediately responds.

" His greatest weakness itself is the Thunder Element already! " Twelve says as he explains that by the word 'weakness' he means that Ragna might actually have the talent to control the Thunder Element but his body won't survive it since it's highly vulnerable to that element.

" Besides, if that thing still exists, then Ragna would lose all of the strength that he had gathered in these months, the strength that I also help him gather through my guidance which is crucial for the paths ahead! "

" So that's why, I need the three of you, who can at least use Thunder, to help Ragna out! " Twelve says which made the three of them had to agree from Aphrodite who already agree on it first, to Kara who agreed to help since Ragna is basically in her care, and Raiden who just follow up with the Inquisitor, and the goddess since he also knows how to absorb Thunder.

" Fine, I'll help him! "

" Besides, I kinda need a new replacement for my Deviant Thunder that this Inquisitor and Goddess just severed from me. " Raiden says to Twelve.

" Good, then let us proceed... " Twelve then disappears, immediately returning to Ragna's location.

" What a mindblowing old man! " Raiden says as his head should be fixed with some good logic if he survives the Tower.

" Of course, to think that Ragna would be an Awakener which is such a complicated process... " Kara says Aphrodite replies.

" Don't stay here, both of you, we need to deal with it ASAP! " Aphrodite then returns to Kara's body.

" Of course goddess, but can we do it? "

" We're currently going to face a powerful goddess familiar here? " she asks Aphrodite telling them to just go for their will be assisted, she promised.

...

" Okay then... " Kara says as she and Raiden go for Ragna.

[ 8th Floor ]

" My goddess, thank you for your clearance on this matter... " The Battle Maiden says after communicating with her goddess, Athena.

"{ Of course, my dear Divine Avatar... }"

"{ You may use my authority on using it. }"

"{ Use as you like. }" Athena says as her voices leave.

After her goddess leaves her, she stands and begins to use her Divine Sight of Justice to see the situation that she needs to handle at the moment.

[ Divine Justice Sight ]

As she uses it, behind her stands the manifestation of Athena's scales, the scales of Libra that Athena gained after becoming one of the gods that receive the Primordial Items of the Twelve Zodiacs.

" [Zodiac Item Manifestation, Judgement Libra], hear me. " Battle Maiden says she activates the scales ability.

" Allow me to see in which part of this Abyssal Tower I need to deal with. " the Battle Maiden orders it, asking the Zodiac Item to choose her next step.

As the Zodiac item activates, it then shows her a vision where she has two things that she can choose to deal with.

The first vision on the left is the vision that shows Park Ignis who is currently fighting the Giant Balrog, fighting fire with fire while he still stands on his ground for some time. In that fight, the A Rank Hunter is still heated up as both he and the Balrog seems to light up each other's fire just like steel sharpens other steel.

" Ahahahaha... Nice try, giant! " Ignis laugh in happiness as he feasts on the Balrog's fire.

" GROOOWLLL! " the Balrog growls in response as it also feasts on Ignis's Furnace Fire which it enjoyed quite well.

*The Balrog Grins.*

As the Battle Maiden sees the first vision, she then goes to see the second one on the right side of the Zodiac Scales, the vision where she sees the situation that happened on the 6th Floor, the Floor where chaos erupts for the people there are dealing with Ragna's Yakan Curse due to its powerful rampage.

" Isn't that, Ragna? " she recognizes Ragna as she can see him having a giant fox coming from his stomach somehow.

" What is that, coming out from his body? "

" Is he being possessed right now? " Battle Maiden asks again and she can see the Yakan Curse is currently dealing with Aphrodite and Inquisitor Kara.

" This is not good! "

" If this continues, then the scales of our victory will be down," she says as she then prepares to descend to the 6th Floor.
