NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: The Gods’ Night and Voices from Another World
Bonds Across Dimensions
At Matsuda’s Home
Elias and Lydia were staying at the home of Masato Matsuda, also known as Asclepius, where they spent a quiet evening reflecting on the day’s events, preparing mentally for the important meeting set for the following day.
Elias: “We need to get some rest before tomorrow… but I can’t stop worrying about EVE not returning yet.”
Lydia: “You’re right. Without her, facing ADAM leaves us uneasy, but there has to be a way.”
Despite their anxiety, the two eventually drifted off to sleep. Once again, they found themselves entering the world beyond—the other dimension. There, their loyal companions warmly welcomed them, saying, “Welcome back, Elias, Lydia. We’ve been waiting for you.”
Both Elias and Lydia felt a sense of relief that their memories of the other dimension remained clear. In the real world, they knew that normally, upon waking, one would lose all memories of the other dimension once they breathed the air of the real world. However, thanks to the power of the gods, their memories remained intact.
The Nights of Other Gods
Other characters were also spending their nights in deep thought, troubled by the fact that EVE had not yet returned to them.
Uranus (Sora Morino): “Can we really fight without EVE by our side? Even so, we have no choice.”
As Sora fell asleep, he, too, was drawn into the other dimension. His past comrades surrounded him there, encouraging him with words of strength, “Uranus, the time has come to test your power. We believe in you.” Upon waking, Sora was grateful that the memories of his dream world remained with him.
Ganesha (Raheel Vikram): “We must pool our knowledge in tomorrow’s meeting to figure out how to rescue EVE.”
Raheel entered a meditative state, and upon entering the other dimension, he was greeted by wise sages. They reassured him, saying, “Raheel (Ganesha), your wisdom will lead the way. We are watching over you.” He felt a quiet resolve in their words.
Each of the gods spent their time in the other dimension, drawing on their strength and preparing for the challenges that awaited them the next day.
Loki Satoshi’s Night
Loki (Satoshi Koizumi) sat in a bar, sipping on a non-alcoholic cocktail, feeling the pressure of EVE’s continued absence weigh heavily on him.
Loki (Satoshi Koizumi): “As long as we can’t rescue EVE, moving forward would be too dangerous. But there has to be a way…”
He eventually succumbed to sleep, slipping into the other dimension. There, his comrades greeted him warmly. “Satoshi Loki, we’ve come this far because of you. Let’s continue to fight together tomorrow,” they told him, encouraging him for what lay ahead.
Morning Calm and Preparing for the Meeting
The following morning, everyone woke in their respective places. With their memories of the other dimension fresh in their minds, they all silently hoped for EVE’s revival and began preparing to head to the research facility.
Loki (Satoshi Koizumi): “Today is the day. We need to find a way to save EVE and prepare ourselves to face ADAM.”
With a shared determination, they gathered at the research facility, ready to begin their crucial meeting, focused on saving EVE and preparing for their battle with ADAM.
