Chapter 2172: Seen the Future
"A growing fragmented world split apart. Two beings that joins these fragments worlds in part. The five will join in one if they are smart. For peace will either grow or rot."
Adrian did not know if this was actually a prophecy or something as the Great Sta Gazer always spoke in rhymes even if she did not want to. The only time she does not speak like a poet is when she loses her powers of foresight momentarily. Adrian is also very meticulous even back then as he made sure to record every interaction he had with the Great Star Gazer.
"It has already been foretold." Adrian stated as he already told them the entire prophecy that was told to him.
Adrian already stopped pressuring the others around him and he could see that all of them were a little bit afraid of him. It is a given that they are wary of him because he just overpowered three powerful elders of the three Asmodian descendant races. He made them feel powerless with his aura alone which put them in quite a scare.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"To think that you are already that close to our ancestors." Elder Ascalor stated in astonishment as Adrian never showed this side of him before.
"I never really like using it because it is incredibly draining." Adrian replied as his stamina actually almost depleted when he applied pressure on all three of the powerful elders.
"If what the prophecy tells holds true then the five could be our five races. The prophecy basically said that if we are smart then we should start gaining strength from one another." Levin Cloud stated.
"Prophecies are not always true. They are merely words spoken in rhyme trying to incite a group of people to do their bidding. It is a way to manipulate those that do not believe in themselves." King Leonidas stated as he is not one to believe a prophecy.
"It seems you do not believe in the Sacred Arts of Divination. You should know that the first ever one to predict the future is from your very own race. If I am not mistaken it was a condor beast kin that could even read the flow of the wind to predict the future." Elder Danaya stated as she managed to finally overcome her shock.
"Regardless, my world needs to be saved now. I heard that the two mediators are training to fuse the worlds together. I just hope that ours will be the first in line to do so." King Leonidas stated.
"If that is the case then what can you offer." Adrian stated.
"If you want riches then you can pick anything that you like from the treasury in our royal palace." King Leonidas stated.
"I want something else. I want The Wilde itself." Adrian stated in a calm manner.
"What!" King Leonidas said in shock as giving a Creation Relic to another being is like surrendering your entire race to the palm of a single being.
"I want the Creation Relic itself." Adrian stated firmly as he believed that a shortcut to reduce the cost of expanding his territory is to let it absorb creation relics. Also, the Land Deity whispered to him to find others just like it.
"That is a tall order even for you, mediator." King Leonidas spoke up as his aura started to build up by Kabrakan was telling the former to calm down.
"You should remember that if now for us then you would not even get it." Adrian replied with a confident attitude.
"How about the talk of that council now!?" Elder Danaya stated as she wanted to diffuse the situation.
"I know that you were chosen as a mediator, but you are still a demon. I thought that a demon that became a mediator will not be greedy, but it seems that I am mistaken. I apologize if I have taken up too much of your time, but I wish to return to my kingdom." King Leonidas stated.
"But your majesty!" Kabrakan tried to intervene, but he could not budge the hardheaded king.
"If you wish to leave then just open that door." Elder Ascalor stated as he gestured towards a wall that now has a door.
King Leonidas marched towards the door and opened it. He immediately saw Avalon when he peeked outside of the door. He stepped forward without ever looking back as he is very resolute in his decision. Kabrakan followed as he tried to appease the king. Kabrakan knew that Adrian will not demand anything if it did not have any use.
"You should not have demanded something like that, my child. The other elders are actually quite offended as well that you used our Creation Relic as you pleased but I appeased them." Elder Danaya stated.
"You mean to say that you pressured them to align with what you think." Elder Ascalor stated as he knew how fearsome Elder Danaya is.
"I would not have demanded it if I did not need it. I resonated with the Heart of the Forest when I gave it to the Land Deity. I felt closer to all of you... to the source of the Faekin that I felt that I could pull all of you here in this world if I was strong enough. I do not know why but something inside of me hungers for it as well." Adrian stated.
"I also felt the same way. I felt like I was connected to all of the Faekin when I touched the Heart of the Forest. I also gained enlightenment in my training for the World Fusion spell. I guess Equinox feels the same as well which is why he demanded to have the creation relic." Levin Cloud spoke up as well.
"If the World Fusion spell is in need of you having resonated with the creation relics, then it must be true. The blood of an Asmodian inside of you is basically shouting at you on what you need to do." Elder Ascalor stated.
"If you had led with that argument, then Leonidas might have agreed." Elder Danaya stated but Adrian and Levin Cloud smiled wryly.
"Do not tell me that he already came here knowing what you demanded?!" Elder Danaya added as she picked up on the facial expressions of the two.
"He must have come here to see if we will say it directly to his face after all. Kabrakan is not one explain the situation a lot, but he should have told why we need it." Adrian stated.
"We were told that he was a bit hot headed when he came here but he fizzled out when he saw Elder Danaya." Levin Cloud stated.
"Did he have a crush on you or something back then, elder? I could feel the longing in his gaze, but he also had the eyes of someone defeated." Adrian stated but it was actually Kenos that told him this as the latter perceives the surroundings differently including emotions. "It was a very long time ago." Elder Danaya stated with a smile that contained a hint of sadness.
"Does having the creation relic make it easier to cast the World Fusion spell? Or do you just want it because it can expand your territory?" Elder Ascalor stated with seriousness as he looked at Adrian straight in the eyes.
"Both." Adrian answered without averting his gaze or hiding anything from Elder Ascalor.
It is true that Adrian is also greedy for the creation relic because of its unexpected uses but it does in fact help in casting the World Fusion spell. If both Adrian and Levin Cloud resonate with the creation relic then they would have synchronized with the very energy that the specific world is made of. Elder Danaya must have pressured the entire Faekin elders because Adrian learned something incredible when he resonated with the Heart of the Forest. Adrian learned that Alfheim was actually a fragmented world created using the energy of the Heart of the Forest at its prime. The entirety of the world of Alfheim is made using that creation relic as a power source. It is also one of the reasons why the elder of each race wants to find theirs. The creation relic could basically restore their broken worlds. King Leonidas knows of this as well which is why he stormed out.
"The fact that The Wilde is being devoured by a world eater means that their Creation Relic has also weakened to a great extent. I might even say that he made it look like it was a small percentage devoured, but he would not have come here himself if that were the case." Adrian thought as he just needed to wait for King Leonidas to return.
