Chapter 1113: Voices

"There were two instances when I heard the voices. The first instance was when I was sleeping normally. The second time was right when Lucente was destroyed. I’m going to talk about the second time first."

Clovis took a deep breath before recalling the voices.

"Melody was the only one who spoke here. She said, Hurry up! The data has been corrupted. Shit, the last attack hit us so hard. I can’t restore the data anymore!

"I can’t. I need to salvage the situation and stop everything from being destroyed! Oh no! This location...

"That’s what Melody said in my head. I recognized her voice."

When they heard the truth, they couldn’t help but feel chills down their spines.

"Data? So, the world is indeed..." Kanaria gasped.

Hana’s expression turned solemn. "This is... Salvage the situation? Stop everything from being destroyed? And what’s wrong with Lucente? Is there a secret that we don’t know? Why did Melody sound like it was an important location?"

Melody shook her head. "I don’t know. I have been trying to find out the reason, but I can’t."

"In that case, I shall manage the investigation. I’ll see if there’s anything important about Lucente." Vina nodded with a serious expression.

Some of them nodded, knowing that Vina should have been the one to investigate it from the start. Melody could handle basic investigations, but a thorough one needed to be given to the specialists.

Clovis and Melody had been hiding this truth the whole time. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late.

Clovis took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let’s move on to the first instance. This time, I heard everyone’s voice and each of you is speaking something different.

"The first one to speak was Kanaria."

"Me?" Kanaria pointed at herself in disbelief.

"Yep, you said, ’You guys should take care of this project. I will take care of the city that he has built so that when he comes back, everything he has built will still be here."

"Oh? I guess my ability is the same. I can still manage a city." Kanaria smiled before raising her hand, jokingly adding, "That’s why you have to choose me as the mayor, everyone."

A few chuckled, but they understood the meaning. The project had been mentioned, so it meant that this might really be the world they created.

Clovis raised his finger. "The second one was Jay. I will help her guard the city. I don’t plan to remain in his shadow forever. When he can’t be in charge, I should take care of the problems for him."

"Heh? The usual Jay." Kanaria smirked. "That cheesy line."

"Well, it looks like I’m the one in charge this time, Clovis. You may step down in the future." Jay nodded.

"Maybe I will step down and enjoy life. What about you?" Clovis smirked.

Jay’s eyebrows twitched. "You always have something to say. You were the one who was responsible for this."

"Hahaha." Clovis laughed before pointing at Ragna. "You are next."

"Me?" Ragna pointed at himself, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, you said, I will support him. You guys should focus on this project."

"Supporting Jay?"

"I think so. Because Aileen’s voice came next. She said, In that case, I will look around the area and see if there’s any target I can find to slow them down."

"Hmm? That’s understandable. I might want to focus on the outside threat rather than the project itself." Ragna nodded in understanding. "After all, I am your guardian, Clovis."

"Aileen..." Erwin glanced at her. "Well, it’s only natural that Aileen will be the one looking around. Since Mara’s ability is similar or the exact same, we should expect that our current abilities are the projection of our abilities in reality."

"Yes, that means Aileen is planning to scout the area and maybe assassinate them." Luci agreed.

"What kind of being am I targeting, exactly?" Aileen asked.

"I don’t know, but with this, it’s clear that there is a threat to our lives." Clovis nodded. "The next one is as usual, Erwin."

"So, you’re still smitten with me even in reality?" Aileen smiled.

"Well, we can’t be so sure. Maybe in this world, my feelings are based on that. Maybe if my real self doesn’t project my feelings, I may already have a harem filled with big boobs and long legs!" Erwin harrumphed.

"You dare?" Aileen looked at him, her killing intent leaked out.

"..." Erwin froze for a moment before kneeling in front of her. "No, my queen."

"Hmph." Aileen harrumphed while crossing her arms.

Clovis chuckled. "Anyway, Erwin said, In that case, I will look around and check whether there are spies around us or not. We can’t afford this project to fail."

"Oh? The project was mentioned again." Erwin raised his eyebrows. "But checking around... Doesn’t this mean the enemies are humans?"

"We can’t be so sure." Clovis sighed. "They might also be beings that could turn into humans or something..."

"Fair point. With my abilities, I can see through their disguises. At least my eyes understand their personality. If it’s too different from normal humans, I can find them." Erwin looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Then, it was me. I guess I was the one who revealed everything." Melody pointed to herself with a wry smile.

They could only look at her, knowing that she was the only one who had heard it directly. Then again, at that time, Melody was the only one who managed to awaken the system besides Clovis.

"I said something like, I’ve managed to create that world. However, we need a few things. If he has to wake up in the middle of the project, this entire project might be disrupted. So, we need something to keep him alive but remain in that state for the duration of the project."

Christina chuckled. "So, you were the culprit, Melody. Don’t we need to cuff you first and take you to the authorities?"

"In my defense, that’s me in reality." Melody shrugged. "Well, it was based on Clovis’ testimony as well."

"Are you saying you don’t trust Clovis?"

"You are twisting my world." Melody sighed. "But now, you guys understand, right? This world... I might have been the one who created it. You may call me Goddess Melody from now on."

"I will call you Goddess M. from now on. M for Masochist, not Melody. Let’s cuff her first and have Clovis punish her." Christina grinned.
