" Too busy " Lily blocked the number and left with the abyss shouting at her " You think this is going to contain me ? " " Yes , because you haven't done anything that would break you out so far " Lily was already studying the creature by plugging the container like an electric plug except there were two metal poles emitting light to perform an analysis on the abyss .
" Oh so you are like magic or a mix of things together then " she studies the special mana the abyss uses to maintain its body ' The pearl did mention that mana can have different variations . '
Lily arrived at the lab and went to the open area beside it using the robots to create a hologram of the building's structure " Everything is fine no errors on the blueprint so I'll use this site to contain the abyss when another comes "
She first took the container and gave it a stand ' Hopefully this abyss is not gonna be mentally ill staring at the light for too long ' Lily's bracelet beeped an alarm as she turned it to a phone and looked at the notification .
' The seeds I planted already sprouted took usually trees would sprout in at least half an hour but this took 15 more ' she looked at the photo and sighed ' Why ? ' she put the phone done revealing a photo of the island with the pictures of crops with vibrant colors .
' The test results shows the fruits full of special mana ' Lily walked to the island looking at the multicolored and shape fruits " Maybe I can reproduce the mana that creates this immortal creature " Lily placed a few commands on her phone to the robots .
She picked fruit and needed some magic to squeeze out the mana inside it without dissolving it in the air ' How about an airtight container ? ' Lily looked at the robot which followed her and took a basketball-sized cylindrical container .
' The skin also prevents the mana inside from dissolving to the air so doesn't that mean ... the fruit is juicy ? ' she was tempted to grab the fruit and take a bite but luckily the robot uses biotech to get energy from the sun through photosynthesis of the plant on its glass globe but the fruits that sprouted out are bigger than the tree .
" I'll just eat this instead " Lily opens the globe and takes an apple making the robot receive more energy as the tiny tree no longer has to carry the apple .
All her robots are powered by a special technology that utilizes the photosynthesis of the tree that was shrunk without losing its plant cells but making the more effective and hungry for sunlight .
What about the nighttime then ? Well as you all know the moon is a reflection of the sun . What about the time when the moon doesn't reflect the sunlight ? Well, she could use another way of sunlight like the other sunlight that is probably better for the animal and plant cells .
" Mmh taste so good " beep " oh here you are I forgot where I left you good thing the robots found you " Lily got the treasure chest and looked at it " I think this treasure chest is like the ones in a video game or a mystery escape room might be a secret compartment in these kinds of things . " she tried to find any hidden compartments knocking on the sides .
" Found it " Lily got a branch and slide them to the corners to find a slight opening " I have to be careful the thing might break if I don't do it properly " the branch slid right into the opening . she slowly pulls the wood up making sure it doesn't fall took it up with her hand .
" There is a book here " she picked up the dusty book and blew the dust out " Herbarium ? " she flipped through the front and found dried branches and some words that faded " Wait what did that mean ? "
The page lose all the writings as she tried to brush it thinking dust was covering it but dried branches came from behind that page " Oh shoot what is this ? " she turned to the back and saw a description like you would when you find a good book in the book store .
" A magic book of study the herbarium gather herbs and the pages will receive the plant part that is placed on as a description of the plant is shown to the users ." " Wow such familiarity coming from a book "
Lily said with boredom and just took a pinch of dust from the spine and dabbed it on the page which gave the description "Lily's fingerprint" the fingerprint faded into the book revealing the descriptions it gave.
Short description : Made from the dust collected at the spine of the encyclopedia
" The book change names ? " she turned the page around and saw it written as an encyclopedia " Hmm give me the history of the book " Lily suddenly felt something taking her strength ' I wish you warned me ! '
Lily started to gather her ki and mana to fight against the pull to avoid falling as she gave it a lot of energy ' The trees ! ' she started to take the mana of the trees and fruit from behind but caught the robot with the stream of energy .
A bright pillar of light was lit as Lily felt unfamiliar mana mixed into her body . Feeling so much unfamiliar energy she took back the ki and mana she gave to the encyclopedia but ended up pulling it back to her .
She felt the energy she gave out back again and dominated them with ki since it was her most proficient . The wind blew as she stabilized the chaotic mix of energy .
...
beepbeepbeepbeeeeeeep " Hello is this your voice ? ... Hello " Cordelia has been trying to "talk" to the phone ( I meant the phone's beep ) " Mom stop she's probably busy " " Right she just contained an abyss , of course , she is busy "
Some escorts of the queen were wondering ' Who is the queen talking to ? she kept saying the same thing over and over again ' " My queen are you ok " " I'm FINE " the guards swam back at the volume of the voice .
" Mother calms down " the crystal ball started to blink lights showing a short pillar " What ? " " Mother it's the human " " How is she able to take on this many forces of mana ? "
...
The pillar disappeared and Lily dropped her body panting heavily ' What was that ? ' Lily looked at her hands and messed with her bracelet to check her body scan " I'm hungry " she turned to see the robot doing fine except for the little tree on its head growing too big that it touched the ceiling of the glass globe .
' Oh , I need to remove that ' she opened the globe and took out the pot disconnecting the wires that connected the tree's roots ' What doe ' " What ? " Lily looked at the information in front of her .
' Wait the encyclopedia ' she turned around and tried to look for it ' Where '
[ In your head ]
' How is the '
[ The encyclopedia responds to not the thoughts of the user but the emotions or the curiosity the user target]
' Makes a lot more sense the question was How the encyclopedia is answering me before the question even arrives ' Lily looked at the information on the tree ' Okay please set the settings of the encyclopedia to only respond to my thoughts no emotions and only respond when I am asking "
' Encyclopedia what is this robot ? " a voice started to speak in her head " Robot capable of running using photosynthesis " ' Oh great encyclopedia what is your limit ? " ' unknown " ' As in you don't know ? " ' Yes " ' What is this world then ? " suddenly a bright orb came out of Lily's head and flew away ' What is that ? " ' It is a data analyzer it can gather more information as the users learn of ways to collect data "
' So you can't collect data using seismic quakes because this is a plane universe am I right ? " ' No , this universe only has gravity and the abyss is being held down by that gravity . " ' Wait so is this place like Skylands some bunch of baloney ? " ' It is like Skylands not food " ' Then what is keeping this Skylands together ? "
' The abyss's curse " ' Great now the abyss got a lot of advantage isn't that right ? " ' Incorrect , it is not the curse of the abyss but a curse against it " ' Tell me the caster ? " ' Information not collected yet " ' How do you get this information? " ' The previous users have tried to fight against the abyss and managed to send the encyclopedia away "
' Then tell me all the information of what they use all the magic , technology , arts every knowledge you have " ... ' Right give me all the information you have right now " A headache struck Lily as she groans keeping her consciousness together " erg " the memories , data that the previous users amassed hit her .
" STOP !!! " she clenched her hands on her head feeling the headache slowly going away " Ugh that hurts more than getting the encyclopedia ... But at least I have a little more information in my head ... But no curse " Lily faced the direction of the area where the abyss came out .
' Thank goodness I got a lot of useful skills learned from that or that headache wouldn't be worth anything ' Lily felt the mana in her and dispelled it feeling her body entering her sick condition again ' Okay at least I am feeling something familiar ' she held the mana and controlled it to help her needs .
She jump over to the shore while commanding the robot to prepare " There's a hole ... good thing it was high tide this morning ... But I still have to patch that up or the waters will feed the abyss " she gathered magic which emitted wisps of mana and dropped it to widen the hole as she heard the immortal abyss shouting with joy .
' They're eating all my magic , but they are distracted . ' robots started to dig around the sand while Lily made sure that all of the sand was moved out . The wide pipe was built surrounding a thin crack allowing the gaseous abyssal creatures to surface looking at the cloudy magic Lily threw out as bait .
The crack was then surrounded by the pipes of iron alloys which carry melted rocks to seal the hole once Lily has enough gas-type abyss . The hole was covered from the sand layer down to the bottom of the now-known Skylands .
' If the encyclopedia says that the gods moved the world here then why did they lie about it ... is it because to prevent them from going to the edge of Skylands ? ' the containers were plugged with a hose to separate the abyss and Lily called Urmi " Hello " " Hello human I am the merfolk's queen . Thank you for taking care of Urmi "
" Enough introductions , are you free to trade ? I have ten sacks of fish feed going to the shore they are of higher quality and are transported by moving rocks and metals . Be sure to give it your pay or it won't give you the ten sacks ... So what can you give me then ? " ' What a higher quality fish feed ? ... But the one this morning is already a treasure ! '
" The pay should be the magic pearls that were in the agreement set by that mermaid " ... " Is "that mermaid" Urmi ? " beep beep beep ' I hope those magic pearls are gonna turn my giant farm into a Skyland ' Lily wraps her body with magic and bought to glowing orbs emitting wisp of magic and held them on her feet .
She look at her bracelet that had constructed a map ' Good thing I have that program ' the program she is talking about was an emergency satellite that was sent out to help her map areas in case there were no other satellites detectable through her default network .
The satellites were launched after the farm was settled but some satellites were destroyed ' Maybe I can find some other tribes to trade with but they may have shot down the satellite gotta send drones to fly to the locations . ' the two magic orbs jumped to her back acting as a parachute ' I'm guessing elves ' she landed on the ground to see elves , dwarves and beastkins.
" A human ! " elves shot arrows and beastkins charged at her . She dances across the projectiles while giving the attackers the pain of a punch on their faces . She grabbed a few arrows and throws them at the strings without causing any injuries to the elves .
They all watched as they lose to a girl so quickly that there wasn't any need to specify the action " want more ? " the dwarves took out a hammer and Lily pointed her bracelet extending out a small little ki gun powered from the ki she gathered " You don't want me to hit that " " Oh but it won't break my hammer " Lily pointed the gun at the cliff and shot a marble-sized compressed shot destroying the cliff .
She pointed it back to the shocked opponents tilting her head " You want that ? " they all dropped their weapons and raised their hands " Now step away from that wreckage that you shot down " they all gritted their teeth but had to follow the orders of the little girl named Lily .
Lily looked at the satellite that took damages caused by a fall and a busted hover " Who wanted to shoot this thing ? " an elf raise her hand and pointed at a dwarf " Why ? " " Because it was fascinating " " And yet you damage it ? " she gave the dwarf a blank look while the drones arrived and started to fix the satellite.
A message was printed on the screen of her bracelet giving her the status of the satellite "hovering parts destroyed : replace/change the setting" she clicked on the change setting and faced the three races " Okay I'll give you support if you protect this thing "
The leaders of each race looked at Lily thinking about their situation . After all the gods have called them telling them about the world collisions " We accept your suggestion " the dwarf king wasn't so reluctant because he found the capabilities of Lily's bracelet out of his intuition on machinery .
" Good then you can take this then " Lily gave the dwarf two phones one was for calling but held the much more features one with her " But I need a reason to give you this , that box you have is only able to call me " the dwarf pressed the button and Lily's phone rang " Hello "
The dwarves were surprised to here Lily's voice through it " As you can see I can talk to you through this " " But how " they looked at Lily who was talking on her phone " Now this one could be more than that do you want it or not ? " " Yes we will give you this "
The dwarves took a sword that was sheathed behind the king " Sir that is " " Please accept one of our kingdom's treasures , we will prepare to set up a town around this structure " the elves gritted their teeth since they have known each other they have seen each other's capabilities .
So when the dwarves offered a kingdom treasure to Lily it meant that what Lily had to offer was around the equal of the shining sword ' What is this ? " ' This is a sword imbued with the power of saints , given to the dwarves in hopes of receiving the fire that was used to craft this " ' What was the fire ? " ' Demon fire " ' I am hardly understanding explain please "
' The sword is a mirror blade " ' So is there a way to get this inverting ability ? " ' If you can remove the holy flame ability then the [ Inversion ] ability can be used again " Lily looked at the sword and a light bulb lighted up .
' Give me your eyes and senses " Lily received all the encyclopedias ability but got some headaches on the way .
She was suddenly woozy at the eyes of the three races and the dwarf king Grayson stared very intently at the sword with curiosity wondering what was inside Lily's head when she showed some eyes just like when he first saw a shining clean sword reflecting his eyes .
Lily quickly turned to the sword and got the information she needed and ejected the holy power " Whoa " the light dropped to her body healing her but she directed it toward her headache sparing the body's weakening sickness . Lily opened her eyes feeling refreshed feeling like she got up from a short and refreshing nap .
" That felt better " the remaining holy power left the sword ' Take your senses out of me and give me a report of my status " ' Everything is back to normal memories are still intact including the knowledge of taking out the holy power of the blade and some insight of mimicking the encyclopedia's ability "
The shining silver blade and golden handle sword transformed into a mirror ' Wait wasn't this supposed to be a mirror sword or something ? " ' The previous users of the item changed the form of the mirror right now it is at its purest form it is capable of copying and creating an antithesis as long as the user is capable of providing the mirror the energy needed . "
Lily looked at the mirror and find it very high quality ' The reflection of this mirror is perfect there isn't a color filter or dirt that stained this thing '
" We would like to offer you this " the beastkins showed Lily a big treasure box of fur . She took it and touched the fur of the sacred beast ' Soft ' " We will offer you this " Lily look at the branch and then at the elves " Thank you and you both should have these "
Both races don't know why the phone was very valuable but as long as it has the worth of the dwarf's treasure then they don't care . Lily looked at the map and at the two points one was her farm including the ring island and the other one was the satellite in front of her .
' I should hurry up hopefully their kingdom are near I need a circle of the economy if I want to relax ' the elves look at the branch that was growing ' Why is the branch growing now !? ' Lily stopped the flow of her mana being sucked out but was resisted ' Not again ' Lily collapsed on the treasure chest like it was a comfortable bed after an exhausting job .
' I feel fine but this amount of fur is enough to make a teddy bear the size of a normal bedroom ... That means that space in my room can be filled ' " Are you okay ? " ' Yes but your tree is sucking off my mana like an orchid "
When Lily received the encyclopedia's ability , she learned some other abilities too like telepathy ' My body just has some sickness that attacks me randomly " ' But it's more like an excuse to relax ' Lily pretended to sleep and tossed and turn .
The previous telepathy session made them think that Lily was someone like a god's messenger but they all wonder which god she would be allied with . so They treated her with some special treatment after thinking like this .
" This is comfortable " Lily got up and stared at them " Well then thank you for the trade ... By the way each phone has a search button and assistance " the dwarves immediately understood what Lily meant and started to search and found many designs of architecture .
" THANK YOU VERY MUCH " Grayson slammed his head on the soft soil while the other two races were trying to figure out how to use it " Just ask the icon with a question mark " she motioned a drawing to give them a hint .
Lily looked at the branch which already has a beautiful flower ' I like this flower maybe I can supply it with mana at the same time use it as a medium ' Lily raised the branch like a wand and channels her mana and ki .
The treasure floated a little and fell ' But I need a location first ' " Setting : mattress reading " the bracelet turned to a light tablet and showed a map ' I'll set this place as a pillar so now I just need two more ' they were two points that attracted her attention she clicked on one of them which was labeled as "little mermaid"
' I'll go that way then ' some drones took the chest and flew above the merfolk kingdom ' Let's see ' Lily looked at the mirror which now acted as a normal one ' During that time when I used the encyclopedia as my eyes I learned a few things about this mirror '
The mirror has a myriad of abilities . To summarize a few important ones are [ Reflect ] which is the original , [ Inversion ] similar to reflect but more dangerous since it creates the antithesis of the reflected attack an extra ability made from [ Reflect ] , [ Absorb ] an artificial ability adopted out of the previous users wanting it to have a different form allows the mirror to copy the traits of a certain ability .
[ Shapeshift ] another ability from the previous users ' Let's see Mirror first form ' the mirror showed a reflection of her which is made of antimatter ' Familiar subject of science ... also the first form it took was just a flat mirror ' Lily made the mirror float and change its form ' Sword , spear oh shield '
She looked at the shield which was shaped like an old medieval shield that had two arcs of the angel 120 degrees and two more from the top that has two 60 degree arcs ' Ugly and unsophisticated ... how about a hexagon that has three two pairs of sides that have a length twice the other one ? '
She didn't even have to change the mirror to know what it looks like ' No then a regular hexagon like the ones at beehive ' she looked at the masterpiece and broke it into equal pieces smiling at it ' Now that will go well on my wall ' she smiled and stood on the cotton ' Now for a test run '
She threw some magic on her back to catch her in case she falls ' Learning to master [ Reflect ] is too easy ' she jump out of the chest and a hexagon mirror expand in the air for her to step on ' Law of motion for every action there is an opposite reaction then if I use the mirror's [ Reflect ] I step on air like it was the ground . '
She landed on the mirror and jump out of it shrinking the created mirror and expanding another one ' Rinse and repeat ' she could feel even more alive with the wind blowing through her face and found the satellite .
She pointed the bracelet to the satellite and set the settings to room settings . The satellite opened a door allowing Lily to enter it ' Now for my bed ' Lily looked back to realize the chest of cotton was still far .
' Well I will need more preparations but the most important would be to set up a tower to connect this to the ground . ' she looked at the branch she got from the elves and smiled " Hello " " Ahhh the box talk " Lily dropped the call and wrote a message .
"I want to make frequent trades with you" " Should be enough to gather materials "
...
" Ahhh what is this beautiful structure " the dwarves were praising the phone like it was a god raising it to allow the rest of the dwarves to see it .
" What !? A sacred beast !? " the phone was making scans out of a princess to show her ancestors before her or more like a stimulation using the DNA taking a few samples and tracing it through their family lineage " What kind of magic is this " " This isn't magic " the elf queen Narra replied to the beast king Solice .
" Mother I heard that there is a beautiful young maiden who granted this magnificent magic " crown prince Grasil came running to Narra " Yes there was and no you can't marry her she looks younger than you "
Grasil froze and many eyes were looking at him like he was a pedophile " Wait I didn't know I just heard there was a girl " he quickly tried to clear up the misunderstanding so everyone decided to leave him to erase their suspicions .
" But mother , where will we plant the world tree didn't you want to do so we can battle the abyss ? " Narra nodded and went to the tower where the two kings were using the phone " Beast kind Solice and Dwarf king Grayson we all have made a trade with the girl and would like to keep our alliance effective . "
" Heh so nothing has changed at all " Solice said with a smug expression " Hey we are settling beside this structure " " Yes sir ! " the dwarves were the first to build houses " Hey Grayson leave us some spaces ! "
" Then you elves and beast hurry up we dwarves will surround and maximize the use of this structure "
...
" Sea looks great perfect for swimming " Lily found an island and ran down the stairs made of mirrors taking the first step to the new island ' Hmm ? ' Lily started to dig on the sand since the sand had a strange feeling as if there was some solid covered by it .
She found out about it because one time she tried to imitate the princess and the pea story and felt the pea under her fluffy mattress ' I haven't seen this island before so maybe there is some treasure chest in here ? '
Sure enough , there was a big rock ' So much for expectations ... Is this rock special ? " ' Yes it is a rock from another world which makes it special " ' Other things then ? " the encyclopedia sounded very sarcastic but that's because Lily just wanted a simple explanation and a little irony .
' This rock is a portal ? " ' The hell only day one and something like a portal appears ... So where does it lead to ? " Lily continued digging around the stone while asking the encyclopedia ' It leads to the dawn . "
' What's that ? " ' It's similar to the beginning but it is more preferably called the beginning after creation " ' So time travel ? " ' It is not time travel but a portal to a location that closely depicts the beginning after the creation " ' And it's seating beside the merfolk kingdom ? '
Lily sighs looking at the rock ' If something that was a portal to the beginning after creation is here then what kind of disaster is waiting for me if I don't do something about it ? ' Sadly there was no disaster because ' Is this thing moveable ? "
' No the portal changes every time since the conditions are not always met " ' that means I have no idea where this might pop out ... Guess I'll go in then . How do I get into this portal ? " ' walk through the rock "
Lily imagined herself faceplanting into the rock and pushed her hand just to check ' It feels cold and warm what a strange feeling that stings like mint and chili ' she pushed her body while closing her eyes hoping for the best .
She opened her eyes to see a rocky dark cave lighted by a little crystal that emits light and reflects it ' Where am I ? " ' underground " ... ' Say what ? ' she turned to the rock she came from and pushed it .
" Dang was that a one-way portal ? " ' Yes it is " " Is there a way out ? " ' Digging upward " " Okay then what kind of place is this ? " ' The labyrinth of the abyss " ' Description " ' the portal User went through was used to bring them to a location that greatly imitates the origin of the world you are staying in "
' That would've been helpful , so why is it called the labyrinth of the abyss then ? " ' Before this was the abyss it was an experimental sight for immortality where an accident happened " ' So rather than creation like the big bang , the portal to the dawn was more like the start after the cause of something ? "
' Correct but if there is no leftover evidence or the existence of the origin the portal to the dawn won't appear " ' This portal is so complicated , is there some sort of shortcut I don't think I wanna dig up "
' There is an escape platform inside the center of the facility " Lily nods looking around the cave which had many paths to choose " Which path should I go to get to the facility ? " ' the third one from left to right "
Lily started to navigate while identifying the materials ' So many uses ' she picked up the flower and decided to pound it by closing it in a mirror sphere enchanted with the reflect ability . A little shake managed to break it to dust .
She took a little sample and examined it ' Hallucinogen ? " ' Miracle medicine that extends life at a cost of transforming into a terrifying creature close to the abyss " " Hallucinogen still sounds more dangerous than turning into a monster "
She didn't mind it that much and put the sample into her belt ' Should I look for a bag that can grow bigger like the ones at the mangas ? ... Was it called an item box ... weird the word item box isn't even appropriate for it better change it to a storage box or something . '
Lily gathered more which made her desire for a convenient gathering bag to rise but she didn't bring a bag and only had a belt and a bracelet ' So what is edible here that is also not gonna drastically change my body when I eat it ? "
' A combination of water and a pack of dehydrated spices , meat and vegetable " " Forgot about that " Lily took out a packet the size of a man's fist ' I should make my questions a little bit specific who knows what kind of water can be found in here , any suggestion for a suitable water source ? "
She asked with all seriousness ' Use the water creation spell combined from the magic of merfolk and the previous user's knowledge ' Lily sighed and finds a puddle . She removes the water out and then casts a water creation spell and poured out the contents of the packet and boiled it with a fireball spell .
She used a vial to scoop the soup and pick a piece of meat with her fingers drinking and eating them respectively " Taste good ( This is a good way to deny reality ) "
Lily looked at the powder that transforms people into monsters ' Maybe I can make something out of this ' Lily thought of that one mathematical symbol used to find the distance between two points .
' What if I change inverse to absolute value then ... but I need to make a viewpoint on what's good or bad , But wait the encyclopedia can determine what is good or bad I just need to use unknown as something bad and if it fails I can still keep it inside a mirror then '
Lily sighs and takes out the mirror ' Encyclopedia link to the mirror and give it my perception of good ' Lily grabbed the vial of monster transforming powder and poured all of the contents on the mirror .
' Convert [ Inversion ] to [ Absolute value ] ' Lily made a satisfied expression looking at the powder that turned back into a flower , she was weak but she didn't have to care .
Since the one in front of her is a beautiful flower made from a deadly flower that takes over the mind of the consumer and turns them into an abyss and two artifacts that created the [ absolute value ] .
Lily took the beautiful irises and ate them ' What a great feeling this means I have to hurry and leave this place . '
