The World Serpent

Chapter 123 - 123-Rewards Of The Rite

The Radiant Sun shone within the Heavens and illuminated the World. The Cold breeze of wind that passed through Heaven and Earth. It carried the White Fluffy Clouds within the Heavens and rustled the Leaves and Grasses on the Earth. It was the day where everyone finally met. The Demons, Spirits, and Many more meeting in one spot, One would wonder what could happen during such a meeting, though such a question would have an answer later on.

Falling within the Heavens, Persia found herself staring upon the Horizon of the Realm of Piksyon. She was still stuck within her Original Body though she didn't mind staying on her True form for a while. Her Original Body was Gargantuan in Size. With a length of 4 kilometers and a diameter of 120 meters, Persia was a Monster for the Monsters. Controlling such a body would be hard for her, but Persia had her ideas though she needed time to implement them. 

'I should slow the fall.' Persia thought to herself as she noticed herself falling from the Heavens. Persia also perceived a dozen people around her. It meant that the Spirits and the New Visitors got through with Persia during the ejection. Persia started moving through the air as she hovered over the Earth before slowly landing on it. The people around her carefully landed without any problems, which made Persia sigh in relief. 

As Persia landed on the ground, the people around her also landed. Statera stood up and started stretching her body. She then felt her sealed strength getting freed. She couldn't help but give a long sigh and muttered to herself. "Being stuck within a weak body was strange." Despite not being obvious, Statera was a bit bothered with her strength. She didn't want to be weak though such an experience gave her some understanding towards her natural skills. 

While thinking about herself, Statera heard some nostalgic voice that she hadn't heard of for a while. "Your Majesty." Statera turned her gaze towards the one who spoke such word and saw the Spirit Lords. She released a smile and replied with a Soothing voice. "It has been a while." Mayon and Statera hugged each other with the Spirit Lords looking at them in the background. 

The two of them hugged each other for a while before Mayon realized something wrong with Statera's words. "While? It hasn't been half an hour since we last saw you." Mayon questioned with confusion on her words. Statera raised an eyebrow as she thought about it and finally sighed, "It seems that the time dilation affected you four. But I guess this is for the best." 

The Astral Spirit Lord and the Spirit Lords started talking to each other. Statera began bragging about taking a journey within a new world and causing some chaos within it. It resulted in the Spirit Lords having a wryly smile on their faces as they couldn't help but imagine the New World looking like a hellscape. Statera continued as the Spirit Lords calmly listened to everything she had said. 

Meanwhile, Ego effortlessly landed on the ground and started looking around. She then noticed Lilith and Nyx, which resulted in her walking towards them. Ego arrived in front of Lilith and Nyx as she spoke with a calm yet monotone voice. "Welcome to the Realm of Piksyon." Ego released a single smile which made Lilith look at her in amazement.

"Hm?" Ego found herself confused by Lilith's amazement towards her face. Nyx sighed and interpreted the current situation. "It seems that she's amazed that you can smile," Nyx said with a calm voice as Ego didn't know how to take such words. Ego shook her head and grabbed both of their hands. She dragged them towards Persia, who was under her Serpentine Form.

"Eek!!!" Lilith couldn't help but shriek in fear after seeing the Gargantuan Serpentine Head. Nyx chuckled at hearing Lilith's reaction, which made Lilith pout. 'That was a lot faster than I thought.' Ego was a bit curious why a simple chuckle from Nyx stopped Lilith from being afraid. 

Nyx walked towards the Gargantuan Serpentine Head of Persia. She stood in front of it as she spoke with a calm voice. "Are you okay, Original?" She asked as she was a bit worried about the Original's health. The Huge Eyeball started staring at her as Persia's answer echoed through Nyx's mind. 'I'm fine, Nyx. I'm simply tired from the fight.' 

Nyx's reaction to Persia's words was strange. She started gritting her teeth and clenching her fist. She never thought that after gaining her freedom. She still couldn't do a single thing. 'You're young. It is the first page of your Journey. Being powerful on the first page would make your story a bit boring, don't you think?' Persia chuckled as Nyx smiled after hearing the Original's words. 

"I promised that I would be powerful," Nyx said with determination in her eyes. Persia smiled from within and replied. 'Then work hard, Nyx.' Nyx nodded after hearing Persia's words. She started thinking about the gift given to her. The Orb of Nightmare that she had recently absorbed. Nyx knew that its power would be unimaginable, and its only limit was herself.

Nyx then walked back towards Lilith, who seemed to be taking a distance away from the Serpentine Head of Persia. The Huge Golden Eyes of Persia turned its gaze towards Ego. 'It seemed that you also got ejected from my body.' Persia released her thoughts as Ego nodded and replied. "Though, I would like to stay inside for a while." 

'You are yourself, Ego. You can tell me what you want, and I'll give them to you.' Persia thought as her soothing tone echoed through Ego's mind. "But what can I do for you, Sister?" Ego questioned as Persia replied with a slight chuckle. 'Micromanaging.' Ego found herself in silence as a chuckle also escaped from her mouth. 

"Aren't you just lazy, Sister?" Ego couldn't help but laugh at her Sister's words. Persia replied with an aloof tone. 'Denying the truth isn't my style.' Ego wanted to talk more, but before she could release a single word. Her body started illuminating with a bright light. She found herself in a confusing state though it seemed that Persia's Serpentine Body was also illuminating. Ego turned her gaze towards Statera, who also got enveloped by the bright light. 

"It seems that the three of us are changing." Ego muttered to herself as Persia's thoughts echoed within her mind. 'The rewards of the Rite are coming. The Origin Skills will finally arrive.' Hearing the thoughts of her Sister, Ego instantly understood the situation. It seemed that the reward had finally arrived. It was time for the trio to receive their origin skills.

Meanwhile, Persia was thinking a lot of thoughts within her mind. It was her third Origin Skill. She wondered what kind of skill it was and hoped it would be Useful for the current her. As her whole body illuminated, a Notification Window appeared in front of her sight. Persia looked upon it and started reading it. 

[Rite of Battle Rewards Recieved...]

[Origin Skill Detected...]

[Scanning...]

[Imported to Skill Tab...]

They were a lot of Notification Windows passing through her head. Persia couldn't help but look at them intensely as she was a bit excited about her new Origin Skill. As she continued gazing upon the Notification Window, a New Notification arrived. It made Persia smirked to herself as she began reading it. 

[You have gained Origin Skill, Gate.]

'Gate?' Persia questioned after seeing the name of the Origin Skill. 'What does gate do?' Persia wondered to herself as she continued staring upon the Notification Window, which kept updating itself. A New Notification appeared in front of Persia's sight as she continued reading it. 

[Description written.]

[With the Origin Skill, Gate. The User can teleport anywhere as long as she has the coordinates. Worlds? Realms? Beyond? Nothing is impossible to travel with Gate. Though you might need the coordinates as being thrown in a random location wouldn't be a good thing for the User.]

The Skill description in front of Persia gave her a good understanding of her New Origin Skill. It got named Gate, an Origin Skill related to travel. It could teleport anywhere or nowhere as long as Persia had a coordinate of it. There was a possibility that Persia could keep her strength without being sealed by anything or anyone. It means that while traveling through worlds, She could have her Complete power. 

'The power to travel through worlds. An interesting power to have and a useful one at that. There are no limits to how many worlds are out there, which means there is no limit on eating biomass. It does make me wonder when I could eat an entire world by myself.' Persia started thinking of some dangerous thoughts within her mind. She shook her head as she didn't want to fall into her hunter state while not being in battle. 

Persia was a bit excited. Her evil thoughts were starting to materialize in her mind.. Fortunately, she wasn't alone, or she might have conquered everything and had eaten them without any reason.
