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.
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.
