.Trivia of the day #45: Asmodeus's main or personal goal is to reset the world back to the medieval Era, a time when things were much simple.

**Splash!**
**Thud!... Thud!**
The sound of strong waves could be heard in the distance, even the sounds of trees rustling, and the comforting sounds of birds chirping from the far distance of the large forest of the island.
This place was not only beautiful it was extremely large, and fill with greenery, all that could be heard in the surrounding area was the sound of animals, the crashing of waves, and the whistle of the cool breeze.
And the slight sound of thunder coming from the far seas as a constant storm was always ongoing due to the nature of the area.
But overall the environment was peaceful nonetheless.
However, as a wise man once said.
Nothing last forever.
Because near the shore of the island, the sound of something foreign and too complex to describe in words could be heard, and moments later a large red swirling portal that looks like it was made from blood could be seen slowly forming into reality.
It didn't take long before something came from the portal, the first thing to be seen, was a tall and inhumanly beautiful woman clothed in a red dress and wearing a black and red cape around her.
Then second to emerge was a small boy who was wearing a dark robe hiding his entire body, even his face, all that could be seen was his cold pink eyes that glowed like neon, although silent, he was indeed fearsome.
Right after a small and beautiful woman, with a sour expression on her face could be seen exiting the portal, she wore a Victorian-style maid outfit, while by her side were two other people who were now labeled as corpse dolls.
And last but not least were two people who came hand in hand, the first being a red hair beauty dressed in a professional black tuxedo and a very tall and handsome man that was dressed in a white tuxedo.
Although different colors the two were like yin and yang because they match each other.
Of course, these two were none other than Nero, and Asmodeus, who were taking their slow time to the other side, and right after they cross over successfully, the portal behind them, as the two were treated with a beautiful sight.
This of course brought a smile to Asmodeus's face, as he admires the beauty of the place before him, as he said.
"What a beautiful view, it's very cool out here as well."
Announce Asmodeus, as he breathes in a good whiff of fresh air, after all, there are many things in this world he disproves of, but nature at its rawest was something he could appreciate, similar to how his mother was deeply in love with.
But he was soon taken aback, by the words of Necroma who snapped him out of his trance as she said.
"Scrap the fresh air this place is rich with mana, no that's not it, no way could it be, is this an actual mana zone, don't tell me, is it really happening, have I found it at long last?"
Announce Necroma who for once puts on one of her rare smiles, and upon hearing her reference, Asmodeus and Nero question in confusion, at the same time.
"Mana zone?"
"Mana zone?"
However, Necroma didn't answer the two as she was too excited for some reason, it was as if she had discovered a national treasure.
Asmodeus would ask Lilith, but currently speaking, Lilith has been really out of it these days, normally she would talk to him at every given moment, however ever since the Pandora incident, she has been out of it, even when he went into a dream world to meet her, she would sometimes just stare into start sky if deeply hurt by something.
Asmodeus wasn't good with emotions, but something was bothering Lilith, and Lilith herself seem reluctant to voice out her feelings, she will only emerge if Asmodeus seriously call for her.
However, as Asmodeus's mind falls on his trusty plus two, Rize soon came before Asmodeus, taking out a large red fedora hat and placing it on her head, with an annoyed look plastered on her face, as she says while adjusting the hat.
"Honestly the sun is such a pain... but yes my master, let me explain what a Mana zone is."
"You see to understand what a Mana Zone is, you must first understand the fable of humanity, and the creation of the world, as we know it."
"Ohh is the tale that important to understand what a Mana Zone really is?"
Asked Asmodeus in great interest.
As to respond to Asmodeus's question, Rize nods her head in confirmation and replies with accurate recollections of the tale of the birth of the planet, as she says.
"A Mana Zone or as it calls in the past an "Aether Wound" is the original Garden of Eden."
"Wait come again, say what now, are you serious, you are talking about the original Eden right, the Genuine article?"
Asked Asmodeus who was shocked by the news.
Rize smile at his reactions as she continues her stories.
"Yes, of course, you see during the creation of the universe, and the formation of planets due to the will of Akashina, the planet as we know it, naturally started to give birth to live as we know it due to natural factors, even then life was just an extension of the planets will, however as the planet inhabitants slowly progress due to evolution, so did the planet itself as well, this, of course, was the will of the Planet."
"You see as everything became aware of their existence, so did the planet as a whole, and as evolution takes its natural course, so did the development of the planet will as well, naturally everything that breathes, everything that hunts, even the dirt on the ground, the cloud in the sky was just one body and mind, living a life of instinct and purpose, meaning all the animals, all the trees, the flowing water, the blowing air, the stones, the minerals, were one the same."
"But as the planets creature hunts and dies by its own hands, all their soul returns to the will, eventually this process of one for all, and all for one continues for millions of years, till eventually the collective memories and knowledge of life and death, along with the souls of the lesser fragment of it own existence develop into individual sentient becoming uniquely different from one another, yet not different, each soul, and every life the will had collected matter, till eventually, the will lost itself, within itself, because of this its existence was forever lost."
"Or so it would have seemed, because of the rule of life, and its power to change under immense amount stress, or out pure necessity, all that collective soul or individuality within the will H.I.V.E mind, was completely unsure of their existence, however, due to its unique power of change, all came to one conclusion at the same time, if they couldn't find the original will, then they will become the original will, and if fuel by immense purpose, all billion if not trillions of soul each containing unique individuality, fused into one being, and by doing so, it gave birth to what we called the greater will, the soul of the planet, or as we all know him by, Gaia, the father of nature."
"Upon his birth, he lost the ability to be aware of all of his previous self, making life itself free from his former collective identity, accidentally giving life and evolution free rein to do as it pleases, however that didn't bother him, it made him happy, but there was one problem, evolution takes millions of years, and the curse of being the only intelligence and consciousness being on planet fill of creatures eventually took a toll on him."
"So in his loneliness, he begs his mother for a friend, but Akashina did not respond, so for the next couple of millions of years, Gaia roam the planet alone, till eventually, he grew tired of life, and decided to went into a deep slumber that in hope, that he will never be alone again by the time he wakes up again."
"Millions of years pass once more, and Gaia finally awoke from his rest, and to his surprised, he found a baby girl, crawling on his back, however, weirdly enough a giant apple Tree was growing his head, and that child took a bite of the apple."
"The apple blessed the child with immense power, giving her the ability to share and perceive thoughts, feelings, power, life, existence, and experience among her nameless race, she could feel the fear of man, the thoughts they have, even the memories they possess, she could see it all, know it all, and even experience it all, normally this only happens because of Gaia power."
"You see Gaia's body possesses an infinite amount of mana, and with infinite mana at it purest anything is possible, every land he steps on is instantly blessed with mana, every time he breathes the atmosphere is refilled with Mana, he is the planet mana at its purest, and because of this, the very land that he slept on for millions of years became a beautiful garden filled with the purest and most refine mana in the world, so much so, it could not be registered as Mana, hence fort it was called Aether, the mana of the Gods."
"All sickness can be healed just by being present in this garden, it was a place where all miracles could be performed, no matter how impossible it is, the power radiating from this holy ground was so immense, when magic is absorbed and performed within this area is like warping reality, a mortal with an understanding of mana and its properties can become a God on Earth, the land was holy because the holy slept on it."
"Every fruit within the Garden is said to be divine in nature, the effect may vary, but one thing is for sure this land that we are on, is Akin to being transported into the realm of the Gods itself, its a mystic place surrounded by Anomoulus world-ending monsters, this place might be the size of a large island from the outside, but it behaves more like a pocket dimension on the inside, as it is the size of Earth itself."
"However though, as Miraculous as this place might be, its home to the true witches and warlocks who can use Ultimate magic, in the south, is Saint Michael Academy, ruled by Michael Khrist the Warlock of Domination, In the East is the cosmic sea and it is the Domain of the Witch of the Stars Nyx, in the East is the Chaos Mountains where the Witch of Corruption Echidna slumbers, and finally in the far North, is the domain of the Witch of Conclusion Ultima."
"These are the inhibitor of Eden, or as the other witches like to call it, the Meta world, it's one of the seven Mana Zones, or Aether wounds, keep in mind Aether wounds are holy places that are eternally scarred with the presence of Gaia, places which he has taken long slumbers on, for example, another Aether wound would be Yggdrasil which is the largest, it is the size of nine Earths, and it is separated into realms."
"Well, that is basically what a Mana zone is in a nutshell."
However, to Rize's surprise, both Asmodeus and Nero had a glimmer in their eyes as if it was the most amazing bedtime story they have ever heard in their life.
The first to speak was of course Nero as she said.
"That's frigging awesome, yes if I work hard enough I could bring this place to its knees and offer it as a gift to darling, yeah world domination."
Meanwhile, Asmodeus was simply amazed at the revelation, who would have thought that such an amazing place like this exist?
However it made him realize something, and that was the fact that Gaia was far more fearsome than he originally thought, his capabilities and feats are simply too amazing to ignore, for one his mere presence alone created all if not the majority of the pantheons of today.
Asmodeus could definitely see why Gaia is the strongest Old Zenith on Earth, just by him doing something as simple as breathing in and out was replacing the mana in the atmosphere every second, even now he is doing it with limited effort, but it did make sense since Gaia has admitted he was one of Akashina seventy-two incantation.
But with this information, Asmodeus has concluded something important and that was.
"For future reference, I must find a way to contain and fully control him, but who would have thought this world is far bigger than I could even imagine?"
"Well Anyways, we must get going, every moment we waste we give the brave an extra stepping stone to claim Excalibur."
To be Continued.
