Chapter 2158: The Story of the Seven II
“The angels. They were the ones that were successful.” Adrian stated as he suddenly remembered the Seven Devils that ruled over Hell.
“Yes. The angels were one of the races that participated but they were the ones that succeeded in absorbing that power. The Seven Primordial Beast of Sin that had weakened were sealed by an Asmodian that could control miasma and curses so that the seven would never get preyed on by other gods or their creations.” The avatar of the world tree stated.
“If that was the case then it was a good thing, right?” One of the guild leaders exclaimed.
“No. It was the worst possible scenario because there would no longer be beings that absorb the freely floating negative energy. Since a Law has determined that these negative energies should flow into a vessel, the new ones that absorbed it were none other than the seven angels that absorbed them.” Adrian stated.
“The mediator of death is correct once again. The Goddess of Light Luminaria thought that she would become more powerful because her servants were now the new vessels as she created the angels to be always subservient to her.” The avatar of the world tree stated.
“What she did not expect is that her own angels evolved to become beings that possessed individuality and the negative energy they absorbed released them from the chains that their goddess has placed on them.” Adrian added as he knew that there was a master control logic implanted on all the angels.
“The angels rebelled and casted off their subservience to become the Devils. The original seven devils became gods and maintained the balance that was lost when the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin were sealed. It took quite some time, but the damage has already been done.” The avatar of the world tree stated as the scene changed.
They avatar of the world tree showed all of them the death of the Asmodians along with the destruction of the world into fragments. A small timeframe of two decades was all it took when the devils were not there yet to replace the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin. The disappearance of essential beings such as primordial beasts made the world collapse much faster. The world would not have collapsed even if the Dark Gods invaded if the balance of the world was still there.
“In the end, the world and even the primordial beasts needed to be separated. The fragmented world could not hold the weight of the primordial beasts which is why they were sealed to maintain equilibrium.” The avatar of the world tree stated.
“If that is the case then why is the Fairy King saying that the end of the world is near?” Siegfried asked.
“The Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin were sealed but that does not mean they could not be released.” The Fairy King stated as if defending his earlier stance of being afraid.
“My child is correct as there would be foolish beings to lift the seal as they stumbled upon the hidden ruins where the seven are sealed. The ruins of the seven would invoke great emotion and thirst for power which made them easier to manipulate.” The avatar of the world tree stated.”
“But… I thought the Primordial Beasts did not care about other living beings.” A guild leader innocently pointed out.
“They did but getting attacked and having most of your essence drained out of you would make you want to take revenge. Primordial Beasts are not mindless beasts that just move on instinct. Primordial Beasts are like living gods that have flesh, and they also have the same intellect as them. They did not bother the other living beings because they were also restricted by the world like the gods.” Adrian stated which shed light on those that were not familiar with primordial beasts.
“The mediator of death is correct. The Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin wanted revenge which is why they would destroy whenever they are released from their seals. At least one of them gets unsealed every century or two and they create a world of pure chaos and destruction. When they get unsealed, the negative energy floating around empowers them to a great degree as it is also containing the miasma from the dark gods.
The miasma from the dark gods enrages the unsealed Primordial Beast of Sin even more. The result is the decimation of the continents. The Devil Gods had to descend unto the world in order to seal them back again so that peace would return albeit temporarily. One Primordial Beast of Sin can wipe out an entire continent. What do you think seven being unsealed could do?” The avatar of the world tree stated as she clapped her hands.
As soon as the avatar of the world tree clapped her hands, the view of all the players returned back at the meeting room. All of them were now in cold sweat as they were shown visions of what happened and what could potentially happen. All of them have territories and they fear that their territory could be wiped out should a primordial beast visits them.
“If the world restricted the primordial beasts, then why could it not restrict them now?” Faust asked the avatar of the world tree, but she looked at Adrian instead.
“The world is dying.” Adrian stated with a deep sigh. The sudden statement made all the players panic.
“You should not scare them like that, mediator of death. Explain so that the poor children will not be confused.” The avatar of the world tree looked at Adrian as if she was ready to scold him.
“What I said is true, but I guess I needed to elaborate. The world is losing the restrictions because most of it is being applied to the world barrier. Back then, the world barrier was not there as there was no need to separate the world from the gods. If the world’s energy is being used to maintain the world barrier, the world itself could no longer spare any to restrict the beings that live in it.
It is why we have world quests because the world itself could not protect itself. The world is delegating us to protect it which also protects all other living things that live in it. If we accomplish the world quests, then we get rewarded and that is due to the world gaining more energy. We are basically the ones that maintain the world’s equilibrium.” Adrian stated which made all of the guild leaders shudder as if they got the most mind-blowing information of
all.
