Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

Chapter 355 The Great Lady Of Wisdom

Within the newly manifested Realm of incorporeality, the only physical aspects were the Origin Palace of Spirits and its inhabitants, as well as the countless golden eggs on the surface area, where a small golden dragon looked up with an expressionless face.

And with its eyes, it could see the face off of two exceeding charming woman, where one stood expressionless as usual, yet her eyes hid a tinge of worry. While the other... was unbothered.

Athena, only smiled even more at those words, and the pressure threatening to push her down on her knees. But the waves of power far greater than the True Laws themselves, failed to affect her even by a tiny margin.

"Straight to the threats, huh? We have just met, and yet you're already trying to use your authority against me? How laughable." She said, her Pride received from a certain anomaly, and the favor of the World Will protecting her from the manifested Realm.

She directly looked up at the exceedingly beautiful figure of the Mother of Spirits with a sneer of mockery. Her hands held behind her back, and floated a bit above ground.

"...."

The Great Mother of Spirits was surprised, and retracted all her authority, yet the Realm remained. The True Laws around them relaxed, and the sorounding space calmed down. Athena smiled even brighter at her relent.

"I find it quite laughable you know? How can you respect the legend of the Four Extreme Emperors written within the Slab of Ancients. Yet cannot acknowledge the Emperors below them, or the one who wrote the Slab itself." Athena added with a tone of mockery.

And those words, greatly shocked the Mother of Spirits to come to a realization. Her eyes widened in stupor, looking down on Athena, whose smile only grew brighter by the moment.

"Yes, as you've thought. I am one from the same generation as the Four Extreme Emperors whom you all worship. I am the one who wrote the Slab of Ancients, an Artifact that survived the destruction of the Origin Era. Something even your so called Extreme Emperors failed to achieve." She added.

Her words causing more shock to the Mother of Spirits. Being an entity who has lived for over millions of years, she knew a great deal of things. Many, including their parents, the Ancient beings, and the Prince of Desolation.

Or perhaps of constructs such as the Genesis, or perhaps beasts such as the Beast of Nothingness, concepts such as Behemoths and True Behemoths. A great deal of knowledge far exceeding her in power and grandiosity.

Yet the contents of the Origin Era, where things she knew less about. Even their parents knew less of that Era, let alone the countless creations that they created. Not even Creators knew of this insane Era.

And yet for reasons unknown, they were being reborn in their currently ending Era. How many Eras had passed since then? Many. Many Eras had passed, and they chose this one out of all of them? What was the reason?

Her desire for the abstract knowledge and secrets beyond was ignited, and she was greatly in need of knowledge. More knowledge and wisdom far from her grasp. And perhaps, she would obtain some today. Perhaps. Maybe.

"You're getting off topic, child. There is no need to overthink things. And there is no need to treat me as an Emperor of a long forgotten Era. The power we previously grasped, is nothing but imaginary right now." Athena disrupted the chaotic thoughts of the Mother of Spirits.

She then flew up, and stood at an higher altitude than the former, "This applies to the Four Extreme Emperors you all have high expectations of. But then again, in due time, we will gain power far beyond you all."

"So perhaps you can still hold onto that little hope of yours." She concluded, now looking down on her target, who also looked up at her with an expression of mixed emotions.

Anger. Confusion. Shock. Disbelief. Desire. Joy. Hate. And most likely more emotions fluctuated on her expression. Yet being a Supreme being, she had supreme control over her emotions, and immediately took control of them.

"...Then what is it that you desire, Lady of Wisdom?" She ultimately asked in reluctance. She could not believe what Athena had just said, but her mastery over Absolute Fate and Absolute Destiny, said otherwise.

"Nothing much. I just want access to a portion of this place. I want a place of death for my warriors, that will allow them an end that is not reincarnation. What do you think?" Athena responded to the words of the Mother of Spirits.

She had no schemes, or anything of sorts. And the Absolute True Laws of Truth, Discernment, Time, Fate, Destiny, Karma, and many more said so. There was nothing off about her demand, yet her history made it hard for her to be trusted.

"Come on, we are both women here. What is it that I will do, that will negatively affect you? Plus, if I were to do something stupid, wouldn't you easily kill me off with your Mystery?" Athena added, trying her very best to convince the Mother of Spirits.

Who, in this situation, sighed in defeat. "Okay. I will give you the chance that you desire. But what will I gain out of this? Creating a small paradise for your people won't negatively affect us, but we cannot just give it to you for free." And she said in response.

Her response was one that Athena was not against. She nodded her head in understand, and responded as well. "I cannot give you the knowledge of abstract secrets you desire, but, as payment, I'll be your guide throughout Ragnarok, and possibly to the next Era that I... will be establishing." She said.

And her words brought out a wave of great shock to the Mother of Spirits, as she exclaimed in fright, yet also in excitement. "What?! You will be establishing the new Era?!" And questioned in high expectations.

After all, according to the Slab of Ancients, the Origin Era was begun by one of the Emperors of that Era. And now, a reincarnate of a Emperor of such Era, was about to start up another Era? Was this a repeat of History?!

"It could be, or perhaps it could be not. But the choice is yours. You can either choose to have the one who established the Era, the strongest amongst all Origin Emperors, as your guide... Or, say no, and we part ways here. For good that is." Athena added, striking the nail while it was still at its hottest state.

And the Mother of Spirits was affected by her words, being prompted to hurriedly agree to her demands. Yet having supreme control over her emotions, she reigned them back, and inquired. "The strongest... Emperor?" She wondered.

Wasn't that such a blatant lie? Why would she be the strongest Origin Emperor, when she was not even one of the Four Extreme Emperors? It didn't make sense, an thus why she questioned. And Athena responded.

"Mhm. It's strange, isn't it? But if it wasn't because those four were brothers, I would have had a higher position than them. And of course, strength wise, speed wise, technique wise and combat wise, I'd lose against them, true."

"But overall, including all elements, I alone, stand at the peak of the Origin hierarchy. And this coming Era, will be the proof of that... All you have to do, is take a risk, and join me, child." She said, extending her hand towards the Mother of Spirits, a Supreme Spirit.

"...."

The Mother of Spirits remained in silence, and only looked up at Athena and her outstretched hand. She had a choice, yet at the same time, she felt like she had none. The situation was tough, and thus reluctantly agreed.

".. Alright, do as you please. But before we continue, what was your code name within the Origin Era. Which aspect did you attempt to raise to extremity?" She then asked, looking forward to knowing.

The one thing she knew about the Origin Era, was that to reach the peak, one hand to take a concept, or perhaps a few, towards Extremity. Turning that concept or aspect to become "Mstapotent" in nature.

Where it would be able to do anything, irregardless of logic or nature, thus making the user Truly Omnipotent in all sense and nature.

"Ah, that? Sure. But before I start, a friendly reminder, you should start building a force within the mortal worlds. It will be your first step to ascendence within the coming Era." Athena paused, and responded.

And when the Mother of Spirits was about to ask more, her presence warped the soroundings, and displaced the Void around her, with the one within the mortal world. A terrifying ability that disregarded the difference between Realms or distance.

Yet at the same time, her voice remained behind. It lingered towards the ears of the Mother of Spirits only, thus all the other Supreme beings, and the Creator Goddess peeping at the conversation didn't hear the words.

The words of utter majesty, "I used to be considered an half assed Extreme Empress, but widely known as the Great Empress of Knowledge and Wisdom."

"...."

The Mother of Spirits sighed, as the words floated through her mind, and deep within the Primal Spark of her soul. Not even reading her memory inside out, would reveal this small piece of information.

For it was noe considered Forbidden!!!
