Chapter 1691 Contacting Alephee

Chapter 1691 Contacting Alephee

Eren nodded at Reen before responding.

"I was equally surprised when I checked out Menaka's Blessing too. Now we just need to find the right time, place, and opportunity to test out the options to ourselves. But before anything else, we need to do something very crucial."

"And what would that be?" Reen asked while enjoying her breakfast.

"Contact Alephee," Eren said before accessing his own Spectral Screen.

He just thought of Alephee as he accessed a dedicated panel meant to be used to contact someone.

Menaka's Blessing allowed the patrons to communicate with each other through various means. People in Labh Salem could share their unique communication brands with each other through their Spectral Screens, which they could later use to contact one another.

The communication didn't have the traditional limitations like the ones associated with the ID Stone's use. The distance basically didn't matter much. In fact, one could contact the other even if they were in two separate worlds, provided both the worlds had the Mesh.

If people knew enough about one another, they didn't need a communication brand to contact someone. They could simply think about the person in their mind and the Mesh would find the communication brand associated with those particular memories.Trace the roots of this material to n0v★lbin

Eren was sure that Alephee would have gotten access to the Menaka's Blessing by this point, no matter how far she was from him. As such, he contacted her as soon as he determined that the time was ripe.

"Eren!"

Eren's Spectral Screen changed in the next moment, showing him a familiar smiling face. Alephee had kept her appearance the same for the most part. However, she had abandoned her gothic back dress after landing in Labh Salem.

"You... you finally managed to land in Labh Salem huh? I... I'm afraid you caught me with a bit of bad timing."

Miss Timeless embraced an attire that seamlessly melded elegance and readiness for the unknown. Her youthful face, framed by the midnight hues of her cascading locks, exuded an air of both mystery and determination.

Draped in a white tunic that peeked from beneath a dark brown jacket, Alephee's ensemble spoke of practicality and style. The jacket, adorned with silver-edged embroidery. A circlet, intricately crafted with magical symbols, adorned her brow, adding a touch of ethereal charm to her appearance.

It seemed that it had been quite some time since Alephee had been to Labh Salem. She had decked herself with Hex Artifacts.

Eren was surprised to find Alephee all by herself, exploring some unknown terrain. Her rugged brown pants, chosen for their durability, allowed freedom of movement as she navigated through the perils of uncharted lands. Over her tunic, she wore a silver-threaded sash that seemed to shimmer with hidden enchantments.

"It seems we need to adapt," Alphee clenched her fists before voicing her decision to Eren.

"Eren, you remember what I did after my brother died right?" Alephee asked.

"I do," Eren nodded.

He remembered through Aleph's memories that Alephee had split herself in seven parts using Perfect Paradox. She had done that in order to raise her chances to find the true inheritor of the Elder ichor bloodline. It meant there were six other versions of Alephee that existed in the boundless cosmos.

Alephee had become almost powerless after splitting herself this way. She had lost her divinity and fell from grace, almost turning her into an ordinary existence. However, she had decided to do something about it ever since she stepped foot in Labh Salem.

"Eren... one of my split forms... it's here. In Labh Salem. I need to merge with that form after making her believe that you are the true inheritor of the Elder Ichor bloodline.

So I can't come and join you where you are as of now because I'm busy tracking down... well... myself, in a way.

You should know that merging with my own self would not be an easy endeavor for me. It might take a few years even to merge after getting hold of my split form. I also have some other troubles I'm trying to get rid of.

I don't know in which state or condition the split form is in. and I don't know what psychological changes it has gone through after so much time has passed.

I am getting close to that form. It took me quite a while to find its location. And I had to invest quite a lot of effort. But I'm finally on the right track. I can finally feel its presence growing close to me.

As such, I can't just lose track now. Otherwise, all my efforts would go down the drain."

Alephee explained to Eren that merely finding one of her split forms was not enough. She also had to convince the form that it was her that had found the true inheritor of the Elder Ichor bloodline.

Things would get even more complicated if that form had zeroed in on a worthy successor of Aleph's divine throne on its own. In such a situation, she needed to convince the split form that Eren was the right choice for their brother's legacy.

Not that the job would be too difficult for her as Aleph had already given his divine throne to Eren, making him his true inheritor.

"So... we part ways?" Eren asked. "We part ways," Alephee confirmed and sighed. "For the time being that is."
