Chapter 602: 603 History



Chapter 603: History

After a few minutes of flight, Charles finally reached Edhen World's troposphere and felt a little hard to breathe.

But as he waved his hand, his whole body was enveloped in reddish flame and released a radiant red light.

It was his elemental form.

At the same time, he released his wisdom power, covered more than 100 km in a split moment, and manipulated the space elemental energies through the false flame.

He disappeared from there a second later and reappeared at the other end.

He traveled more than 1000 km in a few seconds and appeared in deep space.

Unlike the last time, he didn't face any resistance or discomfort.

Even though the lack of air caused his body to feel pressure, he used his wisdom power and created a forcefield around his body to protect himself from the vacuum pressure and radiation.

'Although I can enter Astral Realm and travel without facing any physical obstruction, it is more dangerous.' Although Astral Realm was not entirely a separate realm like Dream World, it couldn't influence much in the physical world.

Unlike Charles, astral beings could only enter the physical realm under certain circumstances.

'Of course, Demi-god level beings are an exception, though.' He shook his head and activated the 'Flame Teleportation' by manipulating space again.

He reached the exosphere in less than 30 seconds and teleported towards the interplanetary space.

It was terrific speed.

After that, he continued to teleport and soon saw the strange hundred-meter-tall black pillars in space.

'Genesis, can you guess who put these things here?'

[Insufficient data... Connecting to the 'Wisdom Link' of Edhen World...]

[Found a clue... From the historical records of the First Arcane Era and Miracle City's Arcane Records, the void pillars appeared around 10,000 years ago. A strange catastrophe occurred all over the Edhen World in Year 6280, First Arcane Era, and caused earthquakes. When Arcane Era mages investigated this incident, they found the void pillars all over the world's outer space.]

'When did the Foreign Gods and their believer invade this land? Also, how did Arcane War start?' Charles asked while suspending himself in the deep space.

[It wasn't an invasion at first but migration, Host. But before that, the otherworldly Lawful Gods conspired with the Arcane Empire's 'Noble Warlords' faction and formed some agreement to keep the Arcane Empire's Royal Family in the dark. After that, they established different Churches in other human kingdoms, created the 'Holy Alliance' secretly, and started gaining the masses' recognition. At the same time, they also preached about Mage as evil, submitted valid proofs about taboo magics, and created mass fear among the people. When the Royal Family of Arcane Empire and other Ancient Mages sensed the threat of the Holy Alliance, it was already too late. Rebelling within the Empire became more common, followed by the Betrayal of 24 Warlords. Before the Royal Family could stabilize the situation, the Holy Alliance openly declared war on the Arcane Empire to purge the evil and invaded. The Arcane War started in the middle of the Year 6530 and lasted until Year 6582.]

[The battle lasted more than 50 years and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of million people. But the large-scale interplanetary migration happened just when everyone thought it was over. Races like Dwarfs, Derios, and Vampires, which were new to this land, came in masses and started settling over in different parts of the invaded Arcane Empire. They are the major participant in the war against wood Elves and Syreni race.]

'Wait! Dwarfs? Vampires? Why haven't I heard of them? Moreover, what does it mean by Derios?' Charles couldn't help but interrupt.

[Dwarfs and Vampires withdrew from this world after destroying Elves and Syreni races, Host. Although the reasons are unknown, the Will of the World somehow intervened and forced them to leave. As for Derios, they are a unique human race and are not much different from normal humans. So, they were allowed to remain in this world. But their unique thing is that they can inherit unique abilities like shape-shifting, Vision, Trickery, etc.

"Shapeshifters? Future vision? Trickery? High human bloodline abilities?" Charles asked with a frown.

[Yes, Host. They are indeed average humans but can inherit any one of the bloodline abilities of the High Human. This often happens with Royal Elves too. Unlike Derios, the Royal Elves inherit High Elves' bloodline abilities.]

'I didn't expect there is such a race to exist among the humans in Edhen World. But where are they actually? Why haven't I met a single one of them yet?'

[Their population is meager in number, Host. From the records, seventeen Derios families came to Edhen World during migration and started mingling with the masses.]

'Can you search for them through Wisdom Link?'

[Searching... Insufficient information!]

[Connecting to Wisdom Link... Searching for information about seventeen Derios families... Found eleven family names out of seventeen. They are Moonstone, Fletcher, Hawthorne, Alder, Holmes, Lockwood, Winchester, Fairchild, Truelord, Kensington, and Pentagon. From the current records, all these families are still in high positions in all kingdoms, ruling most of the humans in disguise. The Fairchild family is actually rooted in Miracle City and controls most of the Underworld business.]

'Heh, they are the real rulers of this world, huh?' He muttered inwardly and continued to ask questions.

'What happened after the First Arcane Era?'

[At the end of the First Arcane Era, Mages and anyone with ties with mages were driven out of the fallen Empire. Meanwhile, Lockwood and Hawthorne took over the Arcane Capital and turned it into the Holy Land of Order and Truth. Till today, it remains the Holy Land of Order and Truth.]

'What happened to the remnant mages? I read from Brook's memories that they did retaliate against Churches even after the end of the First Arcane Era, though.'

[Yes, Host. After winning against the Ancient Mages, the Holy Alliance remained silent for over two decades and focused on internal affairs. On the other hand, the human kingdoms realized that the Holy Alliance was growing faster and secretly helped the remnant mages to give trouble for the Holy Land continuously.]

'What about the betrayers? Noble Warlords.'

[They moved to the south and built the first Floating City. Although no one knows how they got the blueprint of Ancient Sky City, many guessed they must have gotten it from the lawful Gods. That's how Miracle City came into existence.]

'What about the Divine Beasts? Why did they kill it?'

[Searching for clues... Found the answer from Miracle City's Arcane Records... They killed the Divine Beasts to take the Magic Stone to power the Miracle City, Host.]

'Oh? The history of Arcane Empire is indeed a pitiful one.' He shook his head and decided to focus on the current situation.

For the next 30 minutes, he moved in deep space while manipulating the space and also used the 'Foresight' skill to learn about the trajectory of the upcoming Meteorite. Although he traveled more than 150,000 km in thirty minutes, he still couldn't reach the Red Moon ahead of him.

After another few minutes, he finally managed to move past the Red Moon and further into deep space.

After three hours of traveling in space, he finally saw a strange light moving towards the Edhen World and smiled.

At that moment, he had flown around 1 Million km and only saw a bright star instead of Edhen World!

As he used his [Foresight] skill to peek into the future, his vision turned blurry and showed a small dot moving in his direction.

It appeared more like a speck of dust, making it almost invisible.

'Finally!' He exhaled fire through his nostril and quietly waited in the deep space.

After some time, he finally saw the same minute dark thing moving in his direction.

As seconds passed, the speck of dust slowly became more visible and soon appeared more like a fist-sized object.

But as time passed, the object grew larger and larger and looked more like Moon in eerie dark color.

After that, the size enlarged and finally arrived much closer to him.

After a few more seconds, the meteorites finally entered his wisdom power range.

'Its size is about the diameter of 15 km!' Shit! This is more than the size of the 'Chicxulub Impactor,' which caused the extinction of Dinosaurs on Earth!' As he further studied the Meteorite, he noticed it was made entirely of iron and other strong elements.

'Stony Meteorite... It is also flying at the speed of 20km/sec.' He instantly realized how difficult it would be to stop this thing and turned grim.

In a few more seconds, the Meteorite finally arrived much closer to him and looked more like an enormous mountain!

Just as it was about to crash on his body, Charles suddenly disappeared from there, appeared on top of it, and grabbed a grip tighter.

Before long, he was also dragged along with the Meteorite.

But he didn't dare to waste a moment and hurriedly activated his [Eye of the Runes] skill.

A moment later, his wisdom eye observed every nook of the large mountain and started showing the weakest areas.

'There are a total of seventy weak spots in this Meteorite. As long as I attack these weak points, I can break them into small pieces.' He muttered solemnly, raised his finger towards the left side, and cast [Finger of Destruction] spell at a particular area.
