Chapter 286: 287: Time to Unravel

The Library of the Nephilim was a library that contained the very basics of cultivation and creation. But the definition of 'basic' was very different to everyone in the Lowland Planes. In fact, the cultivation of Gojirrah and of Reptilia was more detailed and advanced than the Lowland's knowledge.

But with the library, everyone had the truth of the basics of cultivation that gave everyone a high chance of cultivating up to the level of Commanders easily. But the Commanders that would be formed if they follow the principles and lessons taught in the Library books could easily give them a Cardinals Potential. And even more, if these cultivators were geniuses.

The basic principles of Elemental Affinity were lost in the Lowlands. While Gojirrah and Reptilia's world had it, it was very distorted, and various means were done to replace the true way of cultivation. As such, they still had a very inferior means, that the Lizard Kingdom could only accurately detect two elements for affinity. The other elements had a harder way of properly figuring it out.

As defined and explained by the Gods and Fallen who created it, the group was learning many new and amazing things with the correct basics.

But the Library of Light contained the truest teachings about the light itself. And it was the knowledge that was kept hidden from the gods and fallen themselves.

Branze was seated in the center of the library. As he studied, he fell into a strange trance. Diana was familiar with Branze's habits and made preparations to get coffee for Branze. But on her return, she was shocked to see the changes in Branze.

His appearance exuded an ancient aura. The power of holiness was so thick that it was as strong as the entropy energy that Demerus formed.

Diana glanced back and read the book describing the powerful form Branze had assumed.

"Knight Templar... A Commander Level version of a Champion Paladin. Knights and warriors who can reach this class can easily use Force energy as if it was Holy magic. This lost code is wielded by those who walk the Code of Steel." Diana read and realized what was happening.

"Isn't this the Steele family's research? So their research and passion were actually routed on their godhood as sons of Steel!" Diana was amazed.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and the holy ethereal, misty armor that formed started to dissipate.

Branze opened his eyes and saw Diana looking at him.

"So the Paladin job class isn't the peak?" Diana asked.

"No. They never were! That's the thing that this Library holds! Paladin Commanders, Cardinals, Crowns, and Conqueror. There are classes for more superior paladins at each level! It was all hidden!"

"Hidden?"

"The holy light element that we see in those Light Golems is vastly different from the light energy that the Paladins use."

"Right. Because Paladin's mix their holy energy with the Force."

"Yes. But why was there no one, whoever tried to merge it?"

"Because Light is not like the other elements. Force cannot be transformed to Light energy."

"Wrong. It's not that it cannot be transformed, but rather it was cursed. Diana, we are the only people in the entire universe who can do this. Rather, everyone who becomes the allies of the Nephilim will have the privilege of doing this!"

"What do you mean?"

"Light has been hidden! It makes sense! Our son! Remember what that god Histerion said!"

Diana thought for a bit and recalled the very words of the old god.

"Only the one who has Mysterion can unveil it. For his power is the revelation of secrets hidden from long ago." Diana quoted.

"Exactly! This is it! The power of the Library of the Light! It bothered me why it was different from the Library of the Nephilim! And I realized that this Temple is not just a Temple! It's a manifestation of Kyros's power itself! Think about it! The weird abilities of this Temple that makes no sense and how Kyros commands it!"

"The Temple is Kyros?"

"Were talking about Gods and Fallen here after all. Kyros has many mysteries, and that's just it. He is Mysterion! That which reveals that which is hidden! This is a part of this mystery! The arts of how to truly wield the Light have been hiding. Not just to us, but to all the world! Father was figuring out how to combine it with Force, and me being able to discover it wasn't just by chance. In this world, we, the descendants of Steel was the only ones who could! And the Nephilim unveils that which is hidden!"

"I see. Beginning hid the powers of gods and fallen for this battle. It makes sense. If Beginning and End, Fate and Destiny were to fight, it's an unimaginable concept to us, how they fight!"

"Yes. It's an unimaginable concept because they will be fighting with concepts themselves! Fate and Destiny. Beginning and End. Their fight should involve everything we know. Remember all of those gods and fallen? Their powers? They defined everything in existence. Unity, Separation, Distance, Pain, Emotions! Everything!"

"And Beginning hid a lot of concepts for this battle." Finally, Diana was starting to understand.

"Yes! Beginning hid great powers such as this, even the means of wielding the Light! And only the Mysterion can unlock and reveal the mysteries hidden before it all! Now is the time to unravel these mysteries! And this Library of the Light is it! Hidden is associated with darkness. And now, light is being shown on it! Remember, Kyros's power. Skotos Eis Phos! Darkness to Light! He is uncovering things!"

Diana was overwhelmed with things. The more she learned, a heavy burden began to somehow pile up on her shoulders.

"Then that vision-! The events that happened to you and me-! It's all part of Beginning and End's battle?"

"Gannaios Steel died two times in that vision. We know that he died first when the strange war brought the first Heretic War. And then that Time God, Calaminus, reversed it and brought it to the past, and there we witnessed Gannaios's second death. But now that I think about it, the memories we have of his power have been altered! When I was meditating, I saw and recalled Gannaios's real power! But after Time reversed it was no different!"

"So you're saying... that the first war that happened was used by Beginning to conceal the many secrets that would be used to battle End!"

"Yes! This also means that if we want to help our son, we have to cultivate to surpass Gannaios and Katara." Branze had a solemn expression.

"The Corruption or Code that Katara has is strange. I still don't understand it... I believe time will reveal it. For now... teach me how to be a Templar." Diana smiled.

"Of course. That will be our focus. Let's call father and Aron. They need to be here."

"Let's just call your father. Aron seems to be having fun studying magic. With his talent, as long as you show him the fruits of your research, he should be able to pick up on it." Diana chuckled.

"Your right..." Branze sighed.

As the meditation and training continued in the Temple, the army of survivors that were used to be food for the darkness was moving closer and closer to Alpha Draconis. The first batch had just arrived and walked their way down the path.

Kyros was waiting on the ground. Then, finally, he saw Martha flying, and a small crowd followed on the ground.

A portal opened, and Martha moved in it and appeared in front of Kyros.

"This is all that was left in the last settlement." Martha sighed.

"Don't be so down, Aunt Martha. The next time we are here, they will be a fortress. Send them all in. I will head back to that Dark Dome and make one last commotion."

"All by yourself?"

"Relax. I have a way to teleport directly into the Temple, remember? I have a plan."

"Well, good luck. I wonder what you poison you will say that will make the Commanders suffer."

"Oh, don't be like that, Aunt Martha. You should know better now. I'm aiming to make the Cardinal suffer." Kyros smiled as his wings expanded.

"Tell me when everyone is in the Temple. That's when I will start."

Kyros flew towards the direction of the Dark Dome.
