My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death-Chapter 716 Styx’s Mysterious Dreams
-----
After such a happy and fulfilling day, Styx went to sleep peacefully over her crib. Unaware of the dangers of the Universe and the challenges her father might be facing, she was just a baby living her life leisurely, she was devoid of responsibilities, and only ate, played, and slept every day.
It was a simple baby life, but she really seemed to enjoy it despite what might others believe. Some people would sometimes say that they wouldn't want to be babies, that it would be horrible or something, but Styx was enjoying herself happily.
She was exploring things slowly with the help of her parents and her big family, there was nothing else she could have ever needed in her life than that… After having lived a life imprisoned, freeing herself through this second life was all she could have ever wanted, and it seems to have made her truly happy.
As she slept, she was greeted by the dreams remembering what she went through the day, being with her father, her mother, her aunties, and her siblings… It was a heart-warming dream where she could only smile a bit while sleeping.
However, as the dream continued to move forward, the scenery changed, Styx suddenly found herself within the darkness of her realm, and several paths suddenly continued to emerge and converge one after the other, a if space itself distorted, a black hole opened, and through it, she was able to see a floating sphere in the middle of space, a Earth-like planet.
"Waahh…"
She looked at it with surprise, as she extended her little hand at it. The Paths, rivers of light that interconnected her desires began to converge around the black hole, reaching into the world and connecting to it…
SPARK!
The Path converged together with the world, as it all became whole… Styx's eyes shone with wondrous feelings, as she looked deeper into the world, deeper and deeper. What she first saw was a beautiful sky, and several "heavens" that emerged one after the other, colorful layers of clouds that created beautiful ecosystems of their own.
As she continued looking down, she landed in the vast land, so big and enormous that it made her shocked, the mountains, the seas, the continents, the islands… the living beings crawling on land and flying atop the skies, she was able to see everything detailed.
Why? Why did she had such a power? 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
But Styx wasn't really afraid, she was surprised, she was looking at this with a wondrous feeling of surprise… And she wanted to see more. Her sight seemed to be able to see through the entire world quickly, and she felt a bit confused when so many images entered her mind.
"Buhh…"
Styx seemed exhausted after a few seconds, as she decided to move away. However, without realizing it, as she glanced at it one last time, a drop of black miasma fell from the sky, landing into this mysterious land.
? SPLAAASH!
Styx continued sleeping, as this miasma suddenly found itself in a completely different world, a creation of her own, without a mind of its own, but instincts and hunger. The miasma began to crawl around, finding itself within a grassy plain, it jumped over the nearest prey, a small black rat, devouring it and enveloping it with miasma, dissolving it in mere seconds…
<br/>Gulp.
"…"
The Miasmic Slime suddenly felt a surge of strange, alien energy coursing through its miasmic body. It was filled with life and stamina more than anything, this strange energy was something that every living being in this world utilized even without realizing it…
As the Miasmic Slime continued stealthily crawling around a new world without thinking about anything but feeding, it suddenly found a big city past the forest, enormous buildings resembling those of ancient China emerged one after the other, making a beautiful city in this large place… In here, people wearing blue, black, and white robes walked around, as some even flew atop swords or clouds towards this massive city…
"…"
This was a strange world, but the small miasma creature created spontaneously seemed to be interested, and hungry.

After a month since Styx was born, we have decided to move back to Gaia now that we had taken a good enough break. Due to the time dilation effect, inside of Gaia only a few hours have passed, and it was still the same night that we left it as, although it has been some time, so I've been missing Miriam, Arthur, and the other kids… I think I left them for way too long, but I had to prioritize Styx.
Well, they won't feel like I left for too long, so I guess it is fine? I can tell they won't even realize it, so it is okay? I suppose…
When we entered the Monster Pet Nursery, we decided to nap until the morning, where we greeted the children with a big breakfast.
"I've missed you." I said while petting Miriam, I hugged her a bit.
"Eh? Miss me? But we… we saw you yesterday, didn't we?" She asked.
"Ah… Erm, yeah." I giggled a bit. I shouldn't try to be awkward I suppose.
"You're really clingy with the girl, how many children do you plan to raise?" Whispered to voice of Hades, who had decided to accompany me through my travels now that he left an ego-less clone in Terra handling the reincarnation cycle.
"Shut up, you're making me regret bringing you here already…" I sighed internally.
"Hm… She looks interesting, what is this aura she's emanating? This girl's soul is very strange, and powerful…" He said, ignoring me. Of course, nobody but me could see him, nor hear him.
"Yeah, I also noticed her powers, she's a strange one, I wonder what she really is… Oh well, I had decided to not forcefully see what she is, but I think she got a strong talent with monsters in this world, she's already making the dragon grow bigger by training with him, that's pretty interesting, isn't it?" I said to him.
"Hm… Yeah… You got a talent for finding interesting people…"
