Chapter 2157: The Story of the Seven I
"Ouch!" The Fairy King suddenly exclaimed as he was pinched hard by the Fairy Queen next to him.
"You should calmly explain, my king. If you do not, then they might panic. Please remember that the Seven Primordial Beast of Sin are no longer as powerful as they once were." The Fairy Queen stated with a smile, but she was emitting a pressure next to the Fairy King. The pressure that she was emanating is basically telling the Fairy King to compose himself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I forgot about their sudden weakening because I was always told bed stories about how fierce and terrifying the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin were." The Fairy King stated.
"Can you please elaborate as well for us? We would like to know the beings that were just awakened." Anastacia stated as she wanted to know as well but the avatar of the world tree appeared.
"Hello, mother." The Fairy King and Fairy Queen suddenly bowed as the avatar of the young world tree appeared before them. Even if the world tree is still young, all Faekin will respect them as they are pillars of worlds after all.
"I guess I should be the one to tell the younglings on what those primordial beasts are. The duty of the world tree such as myself is to educate the ones she cares for after all." The avatar of the world tree stated.
The avatar of the world tree then scattered something akin to golden dust that affected all the eyes of the people present in the room. They closed their eyes when they were affected by the golden dust, but the view changed when they opened it. The people in the room were suddenly transported to the past where the world was vast and large.
Adrian saw what Pangea really looked like and he was amazed as this was the original look of the world. He saw numerous beings, trees, and floating islands in the distance. They suddenly felt so small like ants as if they were the ones that shrunk and not the world. One might say that the world shrunk or was fragmented to accommodate the smaller beings that now lived in it.
"This is the original world of Pangea where gods, beasts, and mortals freely wander. It was a beautiful world, but it is not entirely safe especially for the humans or beings with weak power upon their birth. The gods themselves lived with the ones that worship not just to accumulate power for themselves but also protect the weaker beings. A god's power is proportionate to those that believe them but there are few exceptions." The avatar of the world tree stated as she looked at Adrian and Levin Cloud.
"Wow! The world is so beautiful and mysterious!" The all the players exclaimed.
"Yes. It was beautiful but also deadly because the world itself is a cruel mistress. The world favors balance which meant that good and bad are subjective to it. All the world needs are for it to survive as the planet itself is alive like the rest of you. This is the reason why the world itself gave birth to Primordial Beasts." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"Beings born from the world because of necessity. It is also the reason why they revive overtime as they are basically made of essential energy of the world." Adrian added.
"Yes. Primordial Beasts are not inherently evil or bad. They just exist to balance the scale which is why the gods and mortals never bothered them. In return, the Primordial Beasts did not bother the gods and mortals as well and stayed in their own realms." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"How does this relate to the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin?" Anastacia asked.
"Do you believe that the beings back then were always righteous? They were not valiant and understanding like all of you. Mortals are quite fickle and easily swayed as long as they get what they want. In this time, mortals have a more difficult time sticking to their upright beliefs. In a world where gods and primordial beasts reign, mortals became more cutthroat in order to survive." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"You meant to say that they did anything they desired as long as they were not punished. Since gods did not have divine realms back then, they cannot watch over the mortals that are in the world with them." Adrian stated.
"The mediator of death is correct. A large majority of the mortals followed the gods for protection and guidance but there are also quite the number that did what they wanted. Even the gods cannot save everyone unless they are in areas where the gods are. Also, gods are not infallible beings as well because they are not perfect." The avatar of the world tree stated. "Due to the numerous negative emotions that drifted, the world itself needed to find a balance. Negative energy freely floating about could cause aberrations. Monsters that are born from negative energy are beings that heavily disrupts the balance of the world. Quite a few have been created back then but the gods destroyed them at the behest of the world itself." The avatar of the world tree added.
"The world itself created the Seven Primordial Beast of Sin. It created them so that all the negative emotions would flow to them instead of freely floating about." Levin Cloud stated. "The mediator of life is correct. The Seven Primordial Beast of Sin born from the negative energy that the world split into seven parts. Each of the seven represented the worst of living beings. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. These seven sins as they call it became Primordial Beasts that absorbed the overflowing negative energy." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"Still, you said that the primordial beasts do not bother the gods and mortals. Did them being made from negative energy have anything to do with it?" Adrian asked.
"In fact, the creation of the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin was quite successful. The world is able to maintain equilibrium and is back to normal." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"Who disrupted it then?" Adrian added as he already knew that it would have been something that someone did that messed up everything.
"As expected of the Mediator of Death, you already know the how. The negative energy floating around that created the seven is due to the living beings, but it did not take the negative energy of the gods. The gods felt the power of the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin and it was vast. The gods themselves became greedy for this power but they did not openly covet it." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"Since gods are immortals, they observed and waited." Levin Cloud stated as he knew that gods are beings that are not hasty. They would see if everything would go their way before
making a move.
"That is correct. The gods might have shown interest, but they did not move because there was a race dedicated to protecting the balance and they were the Asmodians." The avatar of the world tree stated as she looked directly at Adrian and smiled.
"Who are they? Were they powerful?" One of the guild leaders asked.
"They were. The Asmodians were protectors of the universe itself as they possessed powers that defy existing laws of nature. Even the gods fear them because of this although they will not admit it." The avatar of the world tree replied.
"If the Asmodians were there then did they seal the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin?" Another guild leader asked.
"The Asmodians would not have done that as the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin would have already been determined as a vital part of the world. If they did something to them then they would upset the balance. The gods knew this which is why they waited until the Asmodians were weakening because of the arrival of the foreign gods from other universes." Adrian added as he could more or less predict what happened.
"The mediator of death is correct. The gods that craved power started to move when the strength of the Asmodians started to weaken. In fact, the world would have been much safer if the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin was not disturbed but mortals tend to forget the rules as they have short lives. The truth can be distorted as long as they are told about dangerous beings that could threaten their lives." The avatar of the world tree stated.
"Which of the gods moved?" Levin Cloud asked.
"It was not just one god that pursued the power of the Seven Primordial Beasts of Sin but many. Still, the first god that tried to absorb them was heavily punished by the world and is sent to Tartarus. Seeing that the world itself could still punish them, the gods decided to be masterminds instead and use their followers or creations to do their dirty work." The avatar of the world tree stated.
