Chapter 520: He is a man of several lives
These places had been built by Martin Allen and were based on Allen’s training places, so they were incredibly sturdy and had numerous practice tools and various rooms for different types of training. But today, they would not be used for training using their tools or rooms but as a fort so that it could withstand all the girl power.
"The basis of the Path of Control training is to understand that everything inside you must be controllable by you. From your organs and power to your abilities if you have them. Everything inside your body is your domain, but it is a domain that you have not claimed, so at the beginning, you cannot control it."
"This is the basis, but this basis is quite a bit more complicated than it appears at first glance."
He looked at Isla.
"Isla, can you try to employ the first phase of the Path of Control in its first Level, based on your muscle memory in your memories? I want to show you the best way to understand what I’m saying."
Isla nodded slightly. "I’ll try."
Then she remembered the past—a distant past that even now felt a little unreal but seemed to carry an uncanny glimpse of reality. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She even reached the moment when Matthew was teaching her the path of control, step by step, in-depth.
Even though she had mastered it before she met him, which was pretty good at her age, Matthew always had something to teach her, even when she had already mastered it.
And well, it made sense. Matthew was that legendary young man who deeply understood the 4 Universal Paths at age 20. From such a man, she had too many things to learn.
She remembered his words, and also, instinctively, she could remember how to exercise the path of control.
Then she allowed her power to be unleashed everywhere in an orderly fashion, or so she tried. Still, this unleashed power rose like a huge towering mountain; Isla’s simple memories could not contain it.
She tried again quickly, wanting to bring it all under control, but it was incredibly difficult. There also seemed to be a different force keeping the power in a fixed rhythm, so it should be easier to control, but still, Isla couldn’t do it.
Matthew smiled.
"Even if we have all the memories and understand in depth how to control the power, the Universal Path does not know us because, at some point, we lost the ability to rule them. In my case, it was because I died. The Universal Paths are fair to all, so they have certain restrictions, but they are imperfect. Their imperfection lies in the experience of someone who should not exist." He said, smiling a little before approaching Isla.
He placed one of his hands on her chest and then continued speaking.
"Although on several occasions you have wondered why I am here if my era ended long ago... Since I am in this, I can explain. Just as I said a moment ago, yes, I died. I was reborn in a different world than this one, as a human. Perhaps my rebirth was part of a plan hidden within the curtains that cover this world, but, subsequently, I died again in that place, and my soul returned to the body that belonged to it originally. It was at that moment that my powers were broken. The moment it was named of me once again in this world, that was when I returned to this world; it has not been long." He spoke.
Although Alice saw it coming, she honestly didn’t expect something like this to happen to Matt. She expected everything but the fact that he had died twice.
Unconsciously, she moved closer to him. "Matt... Are you okay?" she asked, grabbing his hand gently. Stay updated with empire
Matthew smiled at her, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing. The fact that I’m back is more than good."
He looked at Emma because he knew she would be the most surprised.
Perhaps Isla was the least surprised since somehow, with all her knowledge of the past, she could understand that something like this happened to him.
’But... Then why can’t I wield the power? Did I die too?’ Isla thought as she stared at him.
Perhaps she was rummaging through her jumbled memories, trying to understand her existence.
Emma, for her part, was confused.
The confusion in her mind didn’t need to be explained.
It was obvious why she was.
Among those present, she knew the least about it.
But somehow, her mind began to work quickly to realize that Matthew was...
He was an amazing and terrifying person, but incredibly important.
’Dying must feel awful, but not once, but twice must be terrible...’ She thought.
He wondered if she might be determined to go on living after experiencing death twice, but that’s where a strange theme among vampires came in. What’s in death? No one knows, or maybe Matthew does.
But, the thing is, it’s a concept that escapes her cognition. She... She can’t understand the deeper meaning of Matt’s words.
’Although, I don’t need to understand it either. It’s enough that it’s still him for me to be here.’ She sighed a little.
Matthew looked at her all this time, so he spoke to her.
"My life has not been as bad as you think. Living in the human world brought me many gains, although it also brought me enemies; those enemies already existed before and were only reaffirmed. I just want you to understand that I am not normal, but as long as you do not betray me, you will be by my side. I will train you, I will help you, and, as I promised, I will make you the Empress of this race."
"That will also help you to see that I have a way to do it." He replied.
Emma stared at him for two minutes and then nodded. "Don’t worry, Matt. Even though I’m confused, I trust you and what you say, " she replied.
Matthew smiled then and spoke again.
"When I returned to this body, although the Universal Paths ’knew’ me, it was the fact that I had died and should not be alive that broke my connection with them. But there is a shortcut, which is the imperfection of the paths: The transmission of information through energy and the fact that people who should not be able to travel those paths have important information from the Core of them."
"That’s where I come in. This information is a shortcut to shorten a Controller’s path. I’m not sure I can do it on each of the four paths, but I’m sure I can do it on this path. Because of that, I can help each of you understand how to enter the Path of Control. My help will not be much, but I will trace the road and the curves of your training so you can understand it better."
