Chapter 291 Variegata Nexus
?291 Variegata Nexus
Eldoralth was a magical world.
It was a massive planet filled to the brim with many mysteries and races.
Before the Zorvans attacked Eldoralth, there were numerous races living on the planet.
Unlike what one would think, this was no fairytale; each of the races weren't allies with each other— they didn't live peacefully.
If anything, they had all been enemies.
Over the past centuries, different wars had been waged, with billions ending up dead. Many races had gone extinct, and this war continued with no end in sight.
Mountains were crushed, terrain forever changed. The world wept as it constantly got damaged.
If this devastating event hadn't occurred, with the Zorvans attacking the planet, no one knew for sure how the fate of the planet and its races would have turned out by now. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
But of course, if any one of them had to choose between the past wars and this current one, they would choose the former without any hesitation.
At the end of the day, each of the races was fighting each other. If at any point one of them should win, said winners would be the ones to rule.
But currently, an alien race was threatening not just one, but the entirety of the races in Eldoralth.
It was no time for their useless wars and battles. Their whole world was threatened—their livelihood, their home, their legacy, their future.
They had all stopped all their ongoing wars and immediately banded together to face the alien threat. This was how the Alliance of Eldoriumwas formed.
The war had been ongoing for far too long. More than a century!
Many of the current individuals in absolute power were all born during the time of the war.
The war during that time was even more perilous and dangerous than the current situation of things.
"Say it louder."
Isabella increased the volume of her voice, "Power is everything."
Harrison smiled, "Good. Never forget that."
Harrison took his gaze away from the bustling students, his figure turning to face Isabella.
The cup floating just beside him floated towards the table and set itself there silently.
Locking eyes with Isabella, Harrison continued, "Isabella, we're weak. Incredibly weak," he said, his gaze unwavering as he started walking slowly away from the wall.
"In this world, weakness is a sin, and it is quite unfortunate for us to be caught up on the wrong side of things," he added, the weight of his words lingering in the air.
Isabella clenched her fist hard, gritting her teeth. She asked, "How long?"
"Two years time, during the next Variegata Nexus. They want sector 10 to be our wager."
"That's too short! He'll still be attending the academy!" Isabella exclaimed. In two years, the current first years would be in their third years. And the same would be for one particular white haired boy.
After years upon years of wars and death, the hate between the races ran deep. It was simply impossible for them to suddenly bury the hatchet.
But each of the races knew well enough the importance of the alliance, and this was why the Variegata Nexus came to be.
It was a gathering of all the remaining races of Eldoralth, where each race would choose representatives amongst their younger generation to represent them in a collectively agreed competition.
This was where the title Apex would show itself.
This was created in order to bury the bad blood and deepen the bond between all the races.
But just like every other thing meant for good, the opposite was what it eventually became.
What was meant to be an event that would deepen the bond between the races was turned into an event where every race was trying to prove their superiority.
The Variegata Nexus created an environment for the races, especially the powerful, to show their dominance.
And in this spectrum of power, the human race was on the lowest of the low.
