Chapter 553-The Hidden Truth Of The World.

'I guess the lying genes are inherited.'

Chuckling at my thoughts, I leaned into the comfy chair as I drank my juice, enjoying a relaxing feel as the world outside trembled with the shocking news filling it. Right now, it's been about 3 hours since the incident, and my aunt's stunning play at the people of power. Gotta say I was quite impressed with how she had handled it.

'Guess the fact of being good with acting being a requirement to survive in power is the same everywhere.'

Anyhow, after the heartmoving scene by my aunt, I was moved to her central area deep within the top position of the Mags tower in Babylon City. Me being only under the protection of Mira in a place where she has total control, thus granting me safe recovery and giving me safety, at least that is the public reason.

After the incident, Ralph's people quickly cleaned up the scene to make the place better. Of course, we didn't go forth to hide the involvement of my family, after all, I was there, and there is the fact that these powerful organizations would have their own way of finding things out if they truly wanted to.

Such an action did earn us the ire of the rest of the powers for not bringing this issue directly to them. But the power of my family and the backing of Mira's and mine kept them at bay from going overboard with their words, for we had genuine reasons for our actions. The proof of The Hillclowd family scheming to harm the Lionheart family was more than enough reason for my family to take action.

And no one wanted to piss off my family and the powers backing me and my aunt. Thus, after some light wording, we were left off the hook. After all, in the end, we did bring a sin to light. This also came to our rescue to turn our family into saviors. Heck, in the eyes of the public, the image of my family has improved a hundred times better.

'At least the first of my aims is done.'

With this, the prestige of my family has risen in a humongous manner. My mother will gain more powers and backing both in the outside world and the academy. My sister, having participated in something like this, will gain a big name. This will be very useful when she takes control of the duchy.

And even Mira gained a lot of fame and power in the War council while my family's name is on everyone's lips, hailing us with great fervor, making the powerful position of the Lionheart family perfect. Of course, this can't just simply happen, but with the backing of the resources I have in my hand, it became as simple as breathing to pass over information all over the world in a short amount of time.

Leaking a sigh, I enjoyed the comfort of the juice and the chair as I closed my eyes, the feeling of death that filled me before still playing in my mind. But I didn't dwell on it for long as I took a deep breath, my mind turning serene as I started to calm myself down. Finally, when I have regained my sense of peace, I spoke.

'System show it.'

At my command, a screen appeared in front of me with the information that I had been looking for.

Title: Some Truths Of The World.

1st Truth: The True world of Ether is larger than the current one for the True world of Ether was divided into two parts.

2nd Truth: There exists 4 creation Goddesses, with each pair covering over each world.

3rd Truth: The war thousands of years ago actually started millions of years ago and just ended thousands of years ago. The true war took place between the pairs of Goddesses, each fighting against the other due to their belief in the ruining of the world.

4th Truth: The war was won by the Goddess Sylvia and Silvie, yet it wasn't perfect, and the war isn't truly over.

5th Truth: There still exist even more powerful species and powers in the realms, but they're within the other realm.

'Sigh... this just got shittier...'

A frown filled my face as I took in the details, the answers just raised more questions in my mind, like what's this difference in opinion these two had? What is the secret fight going on in here? What kind of secrets are hidden more?

'But these do answer a lot that has been bugging me.'

My eyes closed as I started to play the information in my mind, all the new information filling in some blank spaces in the doubts that have been plaguing me for some time. For now, I understand what kind of hell is lying on the other side of corruption energy.

'So these eyes I met today belonged to the other two creation Goddesses?'

I asked the system, but no response came, and the silence itself became the answer I needed to confirm my suspicion, for only the 2 Gods at the level of creation would be able to completely suppress the power level I had of Orpheus.

'And the information I had before was wrong.'

The knowledge that the war thousands of years ago was because of some difference between Sylvia and Silvie is just pure ludicrous. And what's more, it would seem that lots of information about this world has been removed from memory. My best guess is that the Gods themselves sealed off the true information, cutting off the true history of the past.

'No wonder there is such a huge hole in the middle of history...'

Having crammed in a lot of things about the past to get better with Celestinia, I can now deeply feel the loss of true history and the path of this world. It's as if someone had entered a moving and flowing line and removed a huge chunk from the middle of this flowing line.

'But why? Why seal off all this great knowledge and species?'

It's the part that I can't understand. What is the end game here? What really led to such a great world falling into this? For you see, I have already felt it, this world is stuck between extreme levels of the future and the past, seemingly stuck at a past they can't seem to put together.

'Even the information we are collecting from the past are crumbs laid down by the Gods to confuse us.'

'What if it is that they aren't paying attention to the world ending, But the fact that they can't do anything about it?'

This thought only made me frown more, the so-called apathy of the Gods towards the world somehow now coming to make a bit of sense.

'What if it is that they aren't paying attention to the world ending, But the fact that they can't do anything about it?'

'What if there is a delicate promise between those of power to not interfere?'

'What if my goals of getting these girls aren't just attached to the prospect of some pervert's idea?'

All these thoughts just kept leading to more questions, now I have the gist of it, the current me upgrading from a pawn to a Bishop. Yet I have to reach the end of this tangled web of the past, and just as I was drowning in these thoughts, the system spoke, or it would be more accurate to say the system commanded.

[World Quest 2]

Description: A war that led to the death of millions, the loss of life, the falls of Gods, DemiGods, primal creators, and more, why did something like this happen? What could have led to the knowledge of the past being erased and rewritten? What could have led to a top-tier world like Ether being split into two?

-->Find out the truth of what happened from the mouth of the Goddess Silvie, one among the two who are capable of telling you the truth.

-->To do so, you must fulfill her wish and get rid of the darkness living in her heart, to help her move forward from the guilt and past holding her back.

-->To do this, you must raise her affection for you to 200% and have her make you her proxy.

Reward: You shall learn all the truth of the world from her.

-->You shall get to ask 1 question to me about any answer you desire.

Penalty: No penalty, it is your choice, not mine.

'You really know how to make me do things...'

I shook my head at the quest in front of me, for now, I just kept it at the back of my mind as my eyes focused on Mira entering the room. For now, I would just focus on this beautiful aunt of mine, to do the very thing I was brought here for.
