After taking a hot bath, everyone finally sat down together while Hot Pie and John served food for everyone. Arya contributed as well.

"This food is great." Edward praised the preparation of the Hot Pie. He has always been a master baker and cook. Hot Pie was in charge of the kitchen while the others took care of the housekeeping and maintenance.

He had learned many new cooking techniques since entering this world, which made everyone at home pleased and grateful. Additionally, Hot Pie loved to cook and saw it as a win-win situation as he simply had to provide delectable cuisine.

"Of course, Hot Pie makes the best food." Aoto complimented him and stated. Hot Pie simply grinned modestly and ate the salmon.

"Corazon, those robbers. How did you feel about them?"

"They are fast and nimble. Weapons that I have never seen before are used by them. They must possess great physical strength." As he sipped his tea, Corazon said.

"You are mistaken. Though they are fast and agile, but they are not as bodily strong as you. They might be slain by you with just one powerful hit."

"What?" Corazon was surprised because it didn't make any sense. So Aoto had to explain them how this world had their own system and the presence of chakra which made these men more powerful , abilities that could rival devil fruits and make themselves akin to God.

"So basically everyone here has a Devil fruit and it depends on each and everyone how they would like to develop?" Corazon declared. Edward and others were surprised that this world turned out to be more dangerous than the previous ones.

3 great wars had already passed and people go on mission for living which includes killing and every other thing imaginable. This was the Wild West out here. And they thought their world was dangerous.

Sheesh.

Corazon was not particularly affected by the battles because he had witnessed many fights during his life and knew how brutal people could be.

"More or less, though some have something called blood limits. The guards who you met have special eyes called the Sharingan which allows them better eyesight and if they could practice properly they can be really powerful." Added Aoto. Corazon gave a nod.

"So I need to safeguard you from them, if you go out and this shop is under protection always?" Corazon enquired.

"Yes, the shop's surroundings are specially protected, and nothing can harm us here," Added Aoto. Edward had to inquire because he was curious about this chakra issue.

"How did they discover this chakra? I'll try to create this chakra in my body." Edward enquired. Shaking his head, Aoto.

"It isn't feasible. A person by the name of Hagoromo gave chakra to the entire globe thousands of years ago. He is the reason why there is chakra at this place as he taught others about ninshu which we now know as ninjutsu. The chakra was passed down through the generations, with each generation passing it on to the next."

"Ohh.. Thousands of years? He is now dead. Sigh. He must be a genius to be able to introduce a new system to the world." said Edward.

"He was a genius but it was also because of his birth that made him have chakra in his body." Added Aoto.

"Birth?"

"His mother was a Godlike being and she gave birth to two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura. Hagoromo's ability to master chakra was a result of their bloodline." Added Aoto.

"Godlike being? Then what happened to her?" Assuming that God were intended to be immortal, Winry questioned. Since she had heard of the God of alchemy from Edward, she wasn't very intimidated by the idea of God.

"Sealed away. Waiting to emerge and cause havoc in this world again." And this time, Aoto added a smile. But the grin seemed unsettling. Everyone shivered at this.

"Are you serious?" by Edward

"Hey, how come you have never told us of this?" - Arya

"This world is more dangerous than we thought." - John.

"Hey, how come this God is interested in this world. She is supposed to be a God, she shouldn't care of weak beings like us." Pinako commented as he made the room slightly smokey by puffing on a pipe, but no one bothered to correct her.

"Grandma, that's the problem. For her, and beings like her, we are just batteries to make them more powerful."

"Them? There are more people like her? And they consume us?" Corazon enquired of her.

"Yes. They are currently far away, so please don't ask me where they are. However, it won't be long before they arrive and further devastate this globe."

"Why are you telling me this now?" Confounded, John questioned. He hasn't ever mentioned the lengthy history of this planet.

"That's because the library you just saw has the solutions to your salvation and safety. The power and information in the library are sufficient to endow you with power far beyond what you currently possess. Prior to today, we didn't have the opportunity to genuinely be on par with them, but you do now. You can develop the skills necessary to protect yourself by practicing, studying, and teaching yourself." Added Aoto.

"You are saying as if you are sure that this mother of this genius would be unsealed and people like hers would surely come to eat us." says Ed.

"She may or may not be unsealed, depending on a variety of factors. However, there is unquestionably a very high likelihood that somebody like her will touch down on this planet." Added Aoto.

"And the knowledge in the library is enough to fight them?" Now with renewed vigor and zest, Corazon questioned.

"Yes, but it also depends on your talent, so those with low talents might have to work extra hard." Added Aoto. However, his words fell on deaf ears. They were terrified and repulsed by the thought of being ingested by some godlike being.

And seeing the only hope in the library made them more hungry for the knowledge inside.
