《Saving The Future》Chapter 8: So much power!
Advertisement
Frustrated Aariv decided to just ignore Juno and meditate in silence which would probably teach her a lesson, he figure out that Juno likes to talk a lot and the best way to punish her is by not talking.
"Hey what are ya doing?" She noticed Aariv going silent and closing his eyes so she asked but didn't receive any response.
"hay, hay don't ignore me, come on talk"
"Oh my god, what's that, Woooooow" she tried various things to get his attention. but he just sat there and once in a while his face would twitch.
It was really hard to focus when someone was constantly speaking and it becomes even harder when the voice is coming from inside him.
Juno tried everything she could probably think of and stopped with her shenanigans. Aariv thought that she finally decided to give up but to his surprise, she spoke again.
"Am sowyyy okayy, speak to me, please" she sounded like she would cry anytime if he didn't do something.
Aariv had some basic understanding of Juno by now, she had the voice of a mature teenage girl, but the way she behaved sometimes suggested she was a 10-year-old immature girl. He believed that something must have happened to her in her past life which made her like this.
"haaah.... okay but you must answer to me truthfully of what I am about to ask okay?" He pitied her and decided to talk.
"Okay" Juno sounded serious this time.
he just hoped that she wouldn't act crazy this time.
"You said that I have powers, can you elaborate it? Like what kind of power"
"Oooh, yeah the old man had told me to tell you about your powers, why didn't you remind me"
*Sigh* " Okay, you can tell me now"
"YES! you are very strong you know, you've got so many powers.
You can do psychokinesis and energy manipulation."
Aariv's interest was peeked upon hearing about these powers, he understood about energy manipulation was like influencing and manipulating energy around us, this concept was heavily used in fictional movies and stories so he had some idea about it but he knew nothing about Psychokinesis.
"Juno what's Psychokinesis?"
"It's your main power and it has many parts in it. The more you level up, the more powers you can unlock"
he was confused "Wait, what do you mean by unlock? this sounds just like those fictional stories with systems, system gives you some stupid tasks and you complete it, in return you get rewarded. Is this what you meant by unlocking powers?"
Juno seemed uninterested in things as he was getting bored due to all the formal talk.
"No, you are wrong, I have no control over your powers and how you unlock it, there will be no missions because I am not some stupid A.I. system.

*sigh* The old man told me you devoured undecillion soul right?
well, your powers are also connected with it, all those souls that you devoured have given you an immense amount of mental and physical strength along with their memories, now what you have to do is unlock this power.
"And how am I to unlock this so-called power?" He asked
"How am I supposed to know that, I guess meditating ...maybe... it seems to be making you powerful mentally. Think about it later, let me finish for now" She was eager to finish all the serious talk.
*let me tell you about the power levels and abilities associated with it.
There are 5 levels.
Novice->Intermidiate->Advanced->Expert->Supreme->?????
With each level divided into its own sub-levels. Low, mid and high.
Higher your level better the control over your abilities. The level is decided by how many souls you have unlocked, the more souls you unlock the stronger you will get both in terms of mental strength and physical strength. It's like you are multiplying your strength with every new soul unlocked but all this also comes with a drawback.
You will also be inheriting their memories (not personality), and let me remind you all of the souls you devoured have faced hardships and death so it will hurt a lot whenever you level up.
There are some good things too though, all those souls came from all over the universe so there can be many new things to learn from their memories, for example, you could learn things from some extremely advanced civilizations, maybe magic civilizations or a fighting race, the possibilities are endless.
*sigh* these are the levels and abilities with how many souls you need to unlock to acquire them.
Novice
Low(10 souls)
Mid(100 souls)
High(1000 souls)
The powers are:
1: Aerokinesis- creating and manipulating wind, higher the level stronger the wind.
2: Pyrokinesis- control and extinguish flames (can create flames in advanced level).
3: Hydrokinesis- Contol and Manipulate water. (Can change its structure in advanced level).
4: Levitation- Can make objects levitate ( flying requires intermediate level).
5: Biokinesis- ability to edit genes, Minor Healing ( Can only make genes stronger at this level not edit or change it)
------------------------------------------------
Intermediate
Low(10,000 souls)
Mid(100,000 souls)
High(1 Million)
The powers are:
1: Chronokinesis- can change someone's perception of time (can control time itself, level required Unknown).
2: Cryokinesis- Create, manipulate and destroy ice.
3: Electrokinesis- Manipulate and generate electricity by charging atoms and particles around.
4: Geokinesis- Manipulate and destroy earthly objects(rocks, stones, sand, etc.)
5: Levitation- Flying
6: Biokinesis- Small changes to genes e.g eye color, Major healing.
--------------------------------------------------

Advertisement
2: Hydrokinesis- Full control.
3: Photokinesis- control and absorb light( can turn invisible)
4: Biokinesis- Semi-Immortality, Major gene editing.
All these levels should be achieved step by step, if you tried to skip, then there would be some serious repercussions because your body wouldn't be strong enough to handle the power.
Ugghhhhhh... it's so boring, I'll tell you about other levels when you reach the advanced level, can we stop this now pweezzz?"
Aariv pas pretty satisfied with the information gained and also surprised to see Juno talking normally for this long.
"okay Juno, but what about you?, If you can't help me get stronger than what is your job? the old man must have given you some ability right?" Aariv waited for her reply and it seemed like she was in deep thoughts about what her powers were exactly.
"Ummmmm... I don't know, I don't have any powers like you, old man just told me to help you in your conquest and the only thing I have is deep knowledge about human civilization from the beginning to the end." she sounded sad.
but Aariv was shocked and delighted: "You mean you know about every king and queen, every revolution, every war and every influential figure on earth to have ever existed?"
She sullenly replied " Uh..Yes.. maybe"
"You're the best Juno!, if you know everything about earth then no matter which time-period we go to we'll not face problems. I'll be able to use my powers to the best of my ability because of you Juno" he tried to cheer her up but still what he said was the truth.
"by the way do you know which time-period we'll be going to? I remember the old man said that he is sending me to the past" He asked
"No, he never said anything about this, his last words were that if you chose to go on the wrong path then I am obliged to commit suicide and kill us both and he also told me that you can give me a beautiful body as long as you are strong enough, so pleeeeease get me a body" she said with innocence in her voice, completely forgetting what she just said before the last sentence.
She forgot but Aariv didn't "hay hay! what was that 2nd last line you just said?"
"what line?" she replied cluelessly
"that you will commit suici.."
Juno interrupted him "oh that?, yeah Old man told me that if you ever decide to do evil with your powers like killing innocents, etc. then I am obliged to commit suicide and kill both of us, since our souls are connected then if one of us dies then the other one will die too."
"Didn't I say earlier,'Until death do us apart' "Juno said cheekily.
Aariv was lost in thoughts, he had no other choice but to accept this, it's not like he can do anything about it, all he has to do is to not go evil.
"Haah" Aariv made a long sigh and spoke gently "Yeah until death do us apart, quite literally and don't worry I will get you a pretty body but first we need to get out of this place"
"You can't get out of here even if you wanted to, at least not before 6 more months" Juno seemed pretty sure about what she said.
So Aariv asked, "And why is that?"
"Eheem" Juno adjusted her voice before replying in a weird heavy accent "Because you're a fetus HARRY!"
"... Whaaaat! You mean I am inside a woman's womb right now?
Oh wait... holy Fudge I think I nearly killed my mother when I tried to devour that soul which I detected when I first came here" Aariv sounded pretty scared when he thought about it.
He quickly focused and checked on the condition of his about to be mother's soul.
~thank god nothing bad happened and she is healthy~
"by the way, Juno who the hell is Harry?" Aariv remembered this unknown name that she spoke off just now.
"Oh... no one... just some dumb magical kid"
"And when did you meet this kid?"
"Who said I met him, dummy, I just saw him in my memories... wait I'll show you" she transmitted the images from her souls to Aariv's, doing this wasn't a problem as they were mentally connected already.
When Aariv saw images he understood that it was a classic film due to its supernatural elements "Juno it's a movie, not something real."
Juno was surprised "What? but I thought it was all real"
Aariv thought about what could be the problem with Juno's memories and reached a possible conclusion.
"I think you don't have the ability to differentiate what's real and what's fiction due to such a big amount of data and you have not personally lived in human worlds so it's even harder for you to differentiate.
Alright, we don't have anything else to do so might as well just do this.
We will categorize the data according to time-period, from old to new. this way we will not have trouble finding it when we need it."
"Yay, no more boring talk, let's watch something cool"
Juno also agreed to this plan and she was happy as long as she had someone to talk to.
