Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System
chapter-432

I always wondered why my life came to this I thought to myself, as I stand here looking out over the horizon, the soot in the air of the burning buildings as the end of the world nears. In the sky, I see another world. Our world will soon collide with the world in the sky. Parts of my planet have already been sucked up into the sky. They crumble and then turn into balls of light that float skyward as if they belonged to the other world this entire time.

"Faith!" A voice calls out from behind me. I turn and look at the person standing there. She has always been by my side. A girl who once confessed to me, but I turned her down. It saddens me to see her pained expression. It saddens me when I see how much she hurts when she looks at me. But what can I do? I can not answer her feelings. Even though we have been side by side for hundreds of years. I feel empty. Like an emotionless shell that has nothing to fill it up. I feel no pain, no love, no nothing. I could be torn apart, and my face will never change its expression. Maybe this is because of that incident when I lost so many of the people I cared for. Maybe it was back when my family died. I do not know. I just know there is only one feeling I can feel, and that is sadness, and that is only when I look at her. Maybe this is why I still keep her around?

"Faith!" I look over at Adel, who is pulling on my arm, her eyes filled with tears. I can only shake my head as I turn my gaze back towards the sky.

"There is nothing I can do. This world will soon be sucked into the world above. Adel, if you had one wish that could be fulfilled at this moment, what would it be?" I know our world was about to end, so at the very least, I can at least try to make her one dream come true.

"I have no wish. As long as I am by your side, nothing else matters. If you die, I die…." Adel had said these words to me many times. I can only sigh as I continue looking straight into the sky, waiting for the time I will be sucked up with it as well…..

"Hah!" Sweat dripped from my brow. I had another dream. It was a strange dream, unlike the others. While vivid, I felt like I was just a bystander watching the scene before me. The scene of a world just like this one but seemingly on a different timeline. That world was breaking apart and being destroyed. And the me of that world was just watching with a sad expression on my face. I do wonder…. Why was she so sad?

"Master! We have a problem." Atollie suddenly burst into the room. "They sky!"

My eyes opened wide as I sat up and quickly ran to the window. I looked up at the sky to see a world mirroring my own. It resembled that of what I saw in my dream just now, but how could that be? "Atollie, have you ever heard of anything like this?"

"A World Collision. It happens when two worlds are so similar they ride on the same timeline in the parallel universal stream. Basically, it is when a parallel world converges on the same timeline as another parallel world. Let's say you have a world that splits due to its events. This creates two timelines that are different from one another. But if, at any time, those worlds converge back onto the same timeline with the same events matching up, then those worlds will eventually collide as they try to merge back into one. Only the stronger world will be able to survive while the energy and the lives of all the beings of that world, including the world itself, will merge back into this world, giving it a burst of power.

"This could be a bad thing or a good thing. A good thing for the planet that survives since the beings on that planet will grow in strength, becoming much more powerful by merging with their parallel selves, but bad for the people on the losing planet as they will disappear forever." Atollie explained. Her explanation matched up with my dream.

"Is there a way to stop it?" I asked. I was curious because if myself from that parallel world was going to disappear and now with me knowing it, I would feel off. I did not want to receive power from another me if it meant destroying my other me's life.

"Not unless the highest authority steps in," Atollie replied with a long sigh.

"I see…. What are the chances of dreaming about such a thing and it happening?" I realized this morning I had many questions.

"For you…. One hundred percent." Atollie replied but did not elaborate anymore. Atollie always left me hanging like this.

"I see…." I let out a sigh and turned around when I heard the door open. Grace walked in with a cup of tea and some pastries. "Master, please eat."

"Grace, when did you arrive?" I did not expect her to show up. I figured she would have stayed at the palace.

"I am your maid. Why would I not be where you are? Or do you not need me anymore?" Grace asked as she looked at Atollie.

I walked over and hugged Grace, and rubbed her back. "You have been by my side all this time. When would I not need you? You manage my daily life. Without you, I would be lost." I said softly.

Grace seemed to calm down as she nodded and pushed away from me. "Then please eat and go to court session."

"Yes, Mom!" I said teasingly, causing Grace to glare at me. I sat down and began eating. But I found it strange. "Grace, have you looked up at the sky today?"

"Hmmm? It's a clear blue sky?" Grace replied in confusion.

I tilted my head and then looked at Atollie, who finally decided to fill me in a bit. "Only myself and you can see it. There may be a few others on this world who can also see it, but as far as I know, only the two of us can see it. It's because we are different. You are different from the others."
