Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
1006 The Constellations
Noraxis was a dark, demonic figure with two horns coming out of a head that had a whirling abyss inside of him. His fingers were 5 tentacles, each of which dropped black flakes from them continuously
The black flakes fell to the floor and turned into nothing but black smoke that dissipated into the air.
"How did you find me?" the Constellation asked in an archaic voice that seemed to come from far away even though he was right in front of Ning.
"You've let your powers around, so it is easy to find you," Ning said. "Can you call Yemis here? And Helus, Graves, and Thaluxus if you can."
"What reason do I have to call them here?" the Constellation asked. "To kill us all as you did to Stryxus?"
"Do you think I can kill you all?" Ning asked with a creepy smile on his face.
"I don't know what you can do. I don't even know what you are," the Constellation said.
"Then, do you think I'm here to kill you?" Ning asked.
Noraxis paused. He wasn't sure about that anymore. "What are you here for then?" he asked.
"To stop you and the rest from constantly staring at me," Ning said. "I hate it when you do nothing but state at me as if you're trying to figure out what I am."
"We are," the Constellation said. "You are an anomaly that we have never seen or heard of before. We thought that you were a normal system user, but then you killed Stryxus, so you can't be a system user after all."
"Well, can you stop trying to figure it out then?" Ning asked. "Even if you don't want to, at least stop paying attention to me. Your stares prick like thorns and I hate when that happens."
"Is that it?" Noraxis asked. "Is that what you are here for?"
"That was what prompted me to come here, but now that I'm here, I have another plan," Ning said. "As I said before, can you call the other 4 Constellations too?"
Noraxis thought for a moment and accepted the request. He sent an invitation to the four constellations that Ning had named and a moment later, they were all there.
Yemis was the one that had appointed the speedy Park as her Apostle. She was a humanoid figure with everything human except for her eyes, chest, and back.
She had demonic crimson eyes that were 3 pairs each instead of one. Her chest had nothing demonic, but it was fully open and one could see a beating heart inside of it. As for her back, there was a bat wing, like most demons did.
Helus was the Constellation behind the Sorcerer apostle Bak. He was a half-human, half-squid, with his head and legs belonging to that of a squid. He looked unnerving for sure and even vomited out constant black Ink that marred the floor black.
Graves had a rotting face and his body was full of holes through which one could see through. There were snakes and worms that constantly moved in and out of holes, giving him a creepy feeling than the rest of them. He was the Constellation behind Soo-Yun.
Thalaxus was the White Devil behind Kim Min-Soo. He had a goat's skull with horns on his head while the rest of his body was a skeleton.
They all stood by each other and looked at Ning with concern.
"Looks like a few of us are here at least," Ning said.
"What do you want?" Yemis asked.
"What did you call us here for?" Helus asked as well.
"We should get rid of him and be done with," Graves said hurriedly. He was the one here that was most afraid of Ning.
"If he could, he would have killed us already. I don't think he can fight the 5 of us if we work together," Thalaxus said.
Ning smiled. "Do you want to test that hypothesis of yours?" he asked.
Thalaxus stepped back a little in fear. The one thing that all Constellations wanted was to have more energy and grow stronger by living in the minds of as many as they could.
The one thing that all of them hated was the thought of dying. The thought of inexistence. The thought of disappearing without anyone else with the same thought and memory to be born again.
Constellations were born from others, so they were the ones that feared for their own lives the most. As such, they were also the ones that would go to any length if it meant their longer survival.
No number of death was too much, and no atrocities were too far. These were the ones that made themselves the gods of whoever they could find, and if that didn't work, they would destroy them and move on to someone else.
Ning looked at the 5 of them and prepared his own escape route. Teleporting was impossible from this space, so he would have to open a portal instead. However, the problem with portals was that anyone could enter after he left it behind.
Ning sighed and spoke, "I'm not going to kill you. I'm here to give you an opportunity to have your influence back in Korea," he said.
The 5 constellations got curious after hearing that. "What do you mean?" Thalaxus asked.
"Let me ask a question first," Ning said. "If the people on earth were to all die, would that benefit you in any way at all?"
"No," Noraxis said. "We need them to live so we can continue to live off of their memories."
"Then, are you doing anything to stop them from dying?" he asked.
"We created the Apostles," Thalaxus said.
"And gave them a whole lot of knowledge," Yemis said.
"That's good," Ning said. "But what about the other Constellations that are waiting for the apocalypse to arrive and the whole world to be turned upside down?"
"What will you do when they will destroy the world, and people will remember you as the one that failed?" Ning said. "And what will you do as you fade off of their memories, replaced by the other ones?"
