บท 151: Chapter 151: Comet's Desire & Elaine's Instincts

Once everything was over and I'd destroyed Elif's soul, I took a few minutes to gather my bearings and stabilize my emotions before leaving the cave, which I also ended up destroying as I wished to erase all of his presence from this realm. While flying in the air, I headed back towards the Colossal sect, as even though Elif informed me about what happened to my women, I still had a small amount of hope somewhere in my heart that I could revert everything.

"Gel, you're very knowledgeable; if everything Elif said was true, is it possible to somehow revert the effects on my lovers or do something to acquire their true memories?" Asked Comet while silently flying through the sky.

"Unfortunately, no, not to my knowledge. As you know, the soul is a very delicate and frail source of life; if one is not an expert in that field, any kind of tampering can cause various side effects, and from my shallow understanding of Prince Elif, he doesn't seem to be an expert in such a field. Then again, since he is a descendant of an Immortal Hegemony from the OverRealm, who knows what kind of information he has access to? I may be knowledgeable by your standards; however, my reservoir of knowledge can't even compare to a mere fraction of what he has access to." Said Gel solemnly as she materialized her small, ethereal Fairy body atop Comet's shoulder.

Although her words were very demoralizing, I ignored the negative aspects of her speech and focused primarily on the positives, trying my best to stay optimistic and not fall into a pessimistic mentality.

"Well, it's not the exact answer I wished for, but it could be worse; at the end of the day, it seems like I'll have to search for an answer myself. Though, since you said your knowledge is vastly inferior to an Immortal Hegemonies, does that mean, If I were to befriend someone from such a hegemony somehow, could I learn how to reverse what Elif did?" Replied Comet with a slight smirk while glancing at Gel.

"I don't know for sure, but I'm certain that if anyone has the answer to your predicament, it would be them." Said Gel while nodding her head.

"Though, that is most likely unneeded; a Divine or Ancient Hegemony should also have the information you seek. So all you need to do is get to the Divine Phoenix Clan and find Spica; no need to complicate things." Added Gel with a positive smile.

"All my knowledge of the OverRealm I acquired from you and the small tidbits I managed to uncover during my time in that Heavenly realm, though, there was no solid information, mainly just unconfirmed theories." Remarked Comet with a small smile as he suddenly increased his speed while heading toward the Colossal sect.

After returning to the Colossal sect, which was quite active because of my previous actions, I invaded each of my lover's souls and viewed all their memories from their birth till now. Yet, although I had foreseen this would happen, I had surely hoped it wasn't the case; all of their memories had been tampered with by Elif, and because of my previous actions with Kala, they didn't have a blank space in their soul, which is supposed to contain their true memories.

'I had already mentally prepared myself for this, but it doesn't seem I had prepared my heart.' Thought Comet as he held back his tears while resting his hand atop his chest and feeling his heartbeat in anguish.

As I lay at the peak of a desolate mountain, I looked at the beautiful night sky while experiencing heartache; for several days, I lay there motionless with my eyes closed, and only on the seventh day did I finally open my eyes. Having given myself time to grieve, I stood up from the ground and looked at the bright sky with determination and resoluteness before summoning Gel.

"Gel, can you take me to the OverRealm?" Asked Comet solemnly, never once shifting his gaze.

"Yes, I can; I do have the capability to traverse various realms and hidden dimensions, granted we know the location of said hidden dimension; otherwise, we'll most likely appear in the middle of the Void, or worse, a Void storm." Replied Gel calmly while appearing beside Comet as she floated in the air.

"However, just because I can traverse various realms doesn't mean I'll be taking you to the OverRealm; that place is many times more dangerous than a mere Heavenly realm. Divine cultivators are a common sight, and Celestial cultivators, while much rarer, aren't considered anything too special. With how you are right now, sending you to the OverRealm is practically suicide; as I said before, my duty is to ensure you survive; everything else comes after. Besides, even if I agreed to your request, I don't have the required energy to do so; last time, to protect you from Prince Elif, I used the System's reserve, not to mention sending you to the OverRealm and a Heavenly are two completely different things, the amount of Qi needed would be extraordinary." Added Gel as she looked at Comet while rubbing her face in frustration.

Although I did ask that of her, I had expected her to refuse my request; still, to learn that Celestial cultivators aren't anything special is very shocking, to say the least. Coming across a Divine cultivator in a Heavenly realm, while something I wouldn't say is common, isn't too difficult; however, in the four hundred years I was there, I've only met two celestial cultivators, granted nearly two hundred years were spent as a slave.

"Tch, it was worth a try, so then, I suppose now that there is nothing for me to do here, I should return to the Heavenly realm; at least there, I can cultivate, and speaking of cultivating. Those past several days have given a few insights that I can apply to my cultivation; I'd say give me two years at max, and I'll become an early Divine Lord." Remarked Comet with a smile as he looked at the sky while clenching his fist.

"Well then, if you wish to return to the Heavenly realm, just stop suppressing your cultivation, and I'll do the rest; I can't have you ending up in a different Heavenly realm." Commented Gel as she sat atop Comet's head.

'Just wait, Elif; you'll be seeing me real soon!' Thought Comet with a vicious expression as he released his true cultivation base, causing a giant hurricane to form above where he was standing.

While Comet and Elif were currently experiencing their own adventure, a little Princess was also experiencing something, yet, unlike the other two, instead of it being an adventure, it was an emotion, a very strong one at that.

"Are you feeling better today, your Highness?" Asked Maxim hesitantly with a slight bow as he followed behind a quiet Elaine.

Although I heard Maxim, I ignored him; for the past couple of days, I've been in a horrible mood, and though I don't know precisely why, I know it has to do with Brother.

"I'll take that as a no." Muttered Maxim quietly after Elaine didn't respond.

"Stay outside." Ordered Elaine in a monotone voice as she entered her room before slamming the door behind her, causing Maxim to sigh while silently standing beside the door.

Once I had finally returned to the palace after having recently completed a contract from the Elven guild, the first thing I did was head to my room, and now that I was here, I could finally unleash the anger I'd kept bottled up for the past few days.

In an unbridled rage, I began destroying everything in my room to vent my wrath, and by the time I had finished, my usual pristine room now looked like a battle had just taken place there. Nothing was spared from my rampage, not my bed, paintings, or even the statue of me Brother had carved for my fourth birthday; everything was destroyed except for a small picture of Brother and I.

"Hehe, Brother, what are you doing? What are you doing to cause me such anger!?" Exclaimed Elaine with a crazy expression as she affectionately held the small picture of a young Elif tenderly holding her baby self.

"It was a woman, wasn't it, Brother?" Added Elaine with a soft smile while gently rubbing her hand atop the young Elif; if it weren't for the insanity her eyes exuded, it would've looked very lovely.

Looking at Elif, I gently set the picture atop the window sill as I laughed while imagining the things I'd do once I got my hands on the woman who dared to approach MY Brother.

"Hehehe, it seems like I must quickly deal with this woman when given a chance; I can't let any woman, other than ME, get near Brother." Declared Elaine while getting lost in her own insanity for some time.

Once I finally managed to contain myself, I spent a reasonable amount of time attempting to regain my composure since, as the Crown Princess, I couldn't allow anyone to see this side of me, and definitely not Brother. When I was finally calm and collected, I exited the room and decided to visit Mother and Father, but first, I needed someone to clean my room.

"You there." Said Elaine as she approached a head maid in the distance.

"Y-Yes P-Princess Elaine? How can I be of service?" Asked the Headmaid respectfully with a bow, though if you paid close attention, you could sense the fear in her voice.

"My room is currently a little messy." Replied Elaine; although she was very brief, it was more than enough for the Head maid to come to a conclusion.

"I-I understand, Princess Elaine; I'll have a few maids get on that immediately. If that is all, I shall leave to not take up any more of your time." Stated the Head maid with another bow as she attempted to quickly distance herself from Elaine, though Elaine didn't allow her freedom so easily.

"Also, there is a picture of Brother and I on my window-sill; no one is allowed to touch it. If I find out it was moved, I'll have you all sentenced to life in the depths of the Royal dungeon." Declared Elaine with a light smile while grabbing onto the Head maid's clothes, preventing her from leaving.

"I-I u-understand, P-Princess E-Elaine. I-I'll make sure n-no one t-touches it!" Said the Head maid nervously while bowing before Elaine.

"Good, and I want everything done within an hour." Added Elaine with a nod as she released the headmaid and continued walking while Maxim silently followed from behind.
