a second time caused you to become overprotective of your wife. Am I right? What did you do?” O’Malley asked.

John nodded his head as he sat there thinking.

He’s right. When I left the planet, I made sure she couldn’t get out and people couldn’t get in. In my mind, it was the safest way to protect both Sarah and Kelly.

Even before that, Sarah complained I was being overprotective of her and Kelly.

I didn’t understand what she was on about, but now I know my subconscious was telling me to protect them more, becoming overprotective without me even realising it.

Wait, if it affects Rank 9 Siders, then it should affect Sarah, too. I know her past life, and now that O’Malley has mentioned it, she’s become more aggressive when it comes to saving people.

When that princess and her knights were dying inside their tent, she wanted to go save them even if it meant Kelly finding out the truth ahead of time. She also wanted to save the knight I hit with the lightning in front of Kelly. It was only because I stopped her on both occasions that she waited until Kelly wouldn’t find out.

There’s been a few other cases of her wanting to save people no matter the cost, too.

She used to be scared of knives due to the way she died on Earth. She got over that fear, but will her system bring that fear back?

John looked at O’Malley and sighed before he answered, “I created a sealed space so nobody could get on the planet and threaten her, even though I know she’s the strongest person on the planet and I have nothing to worry about as long as no other immortal or Transcendent arrives.”

O’Malley began laughing. “So, you’re basically the same as those kings that lock their daughters up in a castle guarded by a dragon in those fairy tales.”

John ignored his statement and asked, “After transcending, does that price still exist?”

O’Malley shook his head.

So, not only did I have the Demon personality attacking my mind and trying to take over my body, I’ve had the system altering how I think behind the scenes, too?

Am I still me at this point? If ever I have an idea in the future, will it have come from me, the Demon, or the system? How am I supposed to know?

John only came out of his thoughts after he calmed down. He continued to ask another question. “You’ve explained that only Demonic Siders can kill Transcendents, but you didn’t explain why that is.”

O’Malley cleared his throat before speaking again. “When you transcend, you literally become part of the universe. You can use Primordial Chaos which is what the universe is made from. When something happens to you as a Transcendent, it’s the universe that restores you back to how you were before that thing happened.

“Saints and Demons are outside that law. They can use Primordial Chaos to defy the universe. Saints can heal a person back to full health even if the universe was the one that harmed that person, while the Demon can kill a person even if the universe is protecting them.”

“What’s the difference between Life Power and Chaos Power, then?” John asked. “I’ve tried absorbing Life Power from Life Stones and transforming it into Chaos Power, but the ratio is too much.”

O’Malley laughed. “So you’re calling Primordial Chaos, Chaos Power? That’s fine. I’ll do the same when talking to you, then. Anyway, Life Power is like the very diluted version of Chaos Power. To get a decent amount of Chaos Power, you’ve got to absorb it while in outer space.

“The planets that we made have Chaos Power in the centre, but that gets transformed into Life Power when it goes into the planet.”

“What do you mean the planets you made?” John caught that bit of information.

“Oh, I forgot you don’t know the history of the universe. Well, originally, there was only the origin planet that you transcended on.

“After the first two Siders transcended, they quickly left the planet because they realised they were destroying it. It wasn’t until much later that they came back after figuring out how to seal their powers, then they helped other people transcend to work for them.

“When there were twenty of us that transcended, we all went further away from the planet than the first two Siders had gone, but there was nothing there besides a few floating rocks. So, we compressed some Chaos Power and materials into what’s called a planet core.

“It was that ball you threw out on the battlefield, the one you got from destroying the Anti-assassin Sect’s planet. Just to let you know, that planet was created by a Transcendent named Tyler Conner who’s sleeping inside this castle.

“We created the planet core so it would pull everything towards itself, and when we created metal and earth out of Chaos Power, it gathered together to form the base of the planet. We then transformed that planet to have an atmosphere, water, air, and everything else that life needed to survive.

“That planet core will then send out a little bit of Chaos Power out into the planet, but it will be diluted into Life Power as it travels through the planet. The origin planet is the complete opposite since Chaos Power descends from the universe and becomes Life Power before it reaches the surface.

“After the planet was created, we created a moon to orbit it and a sun for the planet to orbit. Once the first planet was created and we knew how to do it, we split up to create more. We kept a few guidelines when creating them.

“Ever wonder why every planet in the universe has twenty-eight days in a month? It’s because one of the guidelines is to keep the distance from the planet to the sun the same, only a little difference depending on the size of the planet.

“Since only Transcendents can travel through space, we placed runes down so other humans can come live on
