Chapter 1263 - 503: Time Reversal
Alka raised his head, gazing at the sky.
He could see those entangled forces beyond the heavens.
These forces entangled and collided in the outer edges of the world, amidst the stars.
The forces weren’t just those of the four deities, there were many he hadn’t seen before.
But these were all he could perceive.
Clearing his mind, Alka suppressed his emotions.
Worrying held no meaning now; he didn’t know what was happening at the world’s periphery.
Perhaps, with further elevation, it would become clearer, Alka was quite certain it was related to the four deities.
For within these entangled forces, he saw traces of the four deity’s power.
"Rest now."
Thinking of this, Alka stood up, patted his butt, and spoke.
Then he led the two towards the poop deck.
Each returned to their room, Alka sat on his bed.
"Wait? Why am I alone in my room?"
He suddenly sensed something amiss.
He then looked up at the ceiling.
The poop deck’s rest area was divided into three layers.
Aside from the kitchen and dining room on the 1st floor, there were empty rooms including a storage room and Juanlu’s room.
His room had a small side door directly connecting to the kitchen.
The 2nd floor housed the rooms of Simon, Alka, and Jason; but generally, only Alka and Jason lived there since Simon mostly slept in the forging hall below.
Above them were the rooms of the other girls.
Pororo and Julia’s rooms were at the ship’s bottom, at the bow and stern respectively.
Initially, plans were to create a room in the middle bottom of the ship for Matilda.
After all, as part of the Ocean Race, making a room half dry and half wet in the water aided her rest.
However, according to Matilda’s preference, her room was set on the 3rd floor.
Though an Ocean Race member, unlike Pororo and Julia, she wasn’t heavily reliant on seawater.
In fact, she rested better where there was no seawater at night, or they wouldn’t have built their tribe’s abode on a cliff.
At this moment, above Alka was Chadite’s room, with Lucilia residing next door.
"Sound of Dawn, connect my room with Chadite, and Lucilia’s room."
As Alka spoke, the ceiling stirred, as if vines retracted, revealing a hole leading to the above.
As soon as the hole opened, within seconds Chadite jumped down from above.
"I didn’t think you’d do it." Chadite approached, sitting at the bed’s edge, speaking with a smile.
Lucilia also flew down from above.
"Just opening a hole is quite unsightly, isn’t it?" Lucilia commented while looking upward.
A normal door connecting her and Chadite’s room looked normal and didn’t feel awkward or strange.
But vertically connecting with just a hole did seem quite uncomfortable.
"Let me design something." Chadite said, pulling out blueprints and began sketching on the spot.
Seeing this, Lucilia became intrigued and came behind Chadite, resting her head on her shoulder, offering suggestions.
Alka watched from beside.
A simple draft was soon completed, and Sound of Dawn made some brief modifications based on the sketch.
These changes directly sliced half the ceiling, crafting a railing-like shape.
A semi-spiral staircase connected to the top.
Meanwhile, half the walls of Chadite and Lucilia’s rooms were sliced off, essentially fully connecting them.
Thus, the task was accomplished.
...
"What’s that noise?"
Jason lying on the bed opened his eyes, removing the foot resting on his face.
It was Ulu Liwus’ leg; at this time, Ulu Liwus lay on the bed horizontally without any form.
The ridiculous sleeping posture indicated Ulu Liwus had exceptionally poor sleeping habits.
But Jason’s calm face showed he was used to it.
He then sensed the Sound of Dawn’s voice.
"Room remodeling? Who is... I see."
Just as he inquired, Jason seemed to have thought of something; no wonder the ceiling had this trembling sound.
"Why didn’t I think of this method? Beautifying it slightly, definitely better than just making a hole."
"What’s wrong?" Ulu Liwus adjusted her sleep position correctly, turned over drowsily, and asked.
Jason didn’t reply, flipping over the quilt, covering her, and quietly fell asleep.
He planned to try remodeling it tomorrow.
If a faint light appeared in Jason’s room, one would see a similar gap in his ceiling.
It turns out he’d long ago opened a passage connecting to Ulu Liwus’ room above.
It just wasn’t done very finely.
Though Ulu Liwus strongly insisted on sharing a room with Jason, eventually a new room was set up for her on the rooftop.
Meanwhile, in Alka’s room.
The three unusually lay quietly on the bed resting, without engaging in any activities.
At this moment, Alka’s thoughts had already sunk into the Dream Realm.
He lay flat on his dreamland’s grassland, surrounded by leisurely roaming dream creatures, some even drifted before him.
After lying there for quite a while, Alka left his Dream Bubbles.
