155 The Supreme Academy's True Scheme!
[The host is correct. As for my advice to you, you need to listen to what your brother is going to inform you since the information he had known about the future is the key to your goal of uncovering the secrets of your world and the secret of the <Supreme Order> talent.]
After saying those vague words to Allen, the system stopped responding to Allen as it went silent and didn’t bother in responding to Allen even after he kept on asking the system questions about what it meant with its last message.
‘But from the system’s words, Asther knows the secret of the world, and knowing the secret of the world will lead me closer to the secret of the <Supreme Order> talent.’
With that thought in his mind, Allen decided to listen carefully to what his younger brother was going to inform him. After that decision, Allen allowed the flow of time to return to its usual speed as his reaction time went back to normal.
“From what you have said, Asther, then are you a time traveler?”
Allen asked that question to his younger brother which prompted a reply from Asther.
“Yes, you can call me a time traveler but unlike most time travelers, I don’t have the ability nor have kept the gadget that would allow me to travel back in time. So with that being said, I cannot travel at any point of time again since the time machine I had used had stayed in the past future timeline.”.
Asther explained to his elder brother about his identity as a time traveler and his inability to travel in time again.
“Since you have traveled back in time, it only meant that you have some event in the past that you wanted to change or prevent, right?”
Allen asked Asther for confirmation which Asther responded by nodding in agreement.
“Yes. I indeed have something I want to change in the past or also known as this timeline. Whether I can prevent and change that event, will determine whether this world can survive or not.”
Asther spoke in a grim tone as he emphasized to Allen the importance of preventing and changing the event that he had planned to change which was the main purpose of his time travel.
“Speaking about the future, what was the cause of the impending doom of this world? Although I already have a guess, it’s best to ask this from you who came from the future.”
Asking that question to Asther, Asther didn’t hesitate to reply to Allen’s question.
“The Supreme Academy’s scheme is the cause of the impending doom. Or to be specific, the fruit of their scheme aka their project is the cause of the impending doom.”
“Sigh… Although I already have found out about the underground laboratory of the Supreme Academy and the corpses and souls below the Supreme Academy that are without a doubt from dead test subjects, I might as well ask this question you. What shit did the Supreme Academy do this time?”
Allen crudely asked Asther about the shit that the Supreme Academy had done to cause the impending doom of the world.
“To answer that question of yours, I have to ask this question you first. Do you know what is the purpose of the establishment of the Supreme Academy?”
Asther replied to Allen’s question with another question of his.
“If I am not mistaken, it is for the head and executives of the Supreme Academy to gather information about the <Supreme> talents of all <Supremes> and that information gathering is part of the Supreme Academy’s schemes.”
Allen answered Asther’s question as Asther nodded which meant that what Allen had said was correct.
“If you know about that, then do you also know what that information about the <Supreme> talents of the <Supremes> have been used for by the Supreme Academy?”
Asther asked Allen yet again another question to test Allen’s knowledge about the Supreme Academy.
“I am not so sure about it since I haven’t thoroughly searched the Supreme Academy yet but from what I have found out, the Supreme Academy have built a device that would transfer all of the knowledge, experience, and information they have gathered from the <Supremes> into the person on the receiving end of the device.”
“In other words, the Supreme Academy’s True Scheme is to artificially create <Supremes> through the use of the device that they have built and all of the information about the <Supreme> talents that they have gathered from the <Supremes> at the Supreme Academy.”
“So, even a normal human can easily become a <Supreme> with the device that the Supreme Academy had built in their underground laboratory. That scheme would prove to be fearsome and a threat to the whole world if it wasn’t for the fact that there was a downside for the device that the Supreme Academy have built.”
After informing Asther about the information that he had gathered about the Supreme Academy’s schemes, Allen paused as he recollected the information he had gathered before in his mind.
“Do you also know the downside of the Supreme Academy’s device?”
Asther asked Allen which prompted Allen to nod his head in agreement.
“Yes. I have indeed found out about it and it’s not that difficult to find out considering the number of corpses in the Supreme Academy’s underground laboratory and souls that have lingered there.”
Hearing those words from Allen, Asther couldn’t help but sigh since even Allen had some <Supreme> talent regarding the dead such as <Supreme Mortician>, <Supreme Exorcist>, and many more that Asther have no knowledge about.
“The downside of the Supreme Academy’s device is that it has an incredibly low chance of the artificial <Supreme> talent being transferred to anyone. The reason for that is that the human body, mind, and soul are fragile. It cannot take more than two <Supreme> talents in one vessel and the artificial <Supreme> talent can’t even be transferred to normal humans.”
“So you have uncovered the secret of the Supreme Academy. Then that makes my job here a lot easier.”
Asther commented to Allen after he listened to what Allen had informed him about.
“Allen, do you know what event in this world I have to prevent from happening, or else the world would be doomed?”
“What?”
Even with his intelligence, Allen couldn’t come up with a deduction that he found plausible after hearing Asther’s question so he decided to ask Asther himself about it.
“The future event in this world that I have to prevent is…”
