Chapter 206: 206: Cosmic Gem

But, neither Azzy nor Barton has given any official confirmation to ally with either of them. So, they could do so much to protect Azzy.

The only comfortable thing is that it takes a while for the card to be activated and the King was only a low-rank-7 Arcana Master. So, before the attack is even launched, they can kill him as long as there are no powerful protectors.

In fact, a few people in the room also intended to snatch it from Brian, later.

"Sold"

"Congratulations, King Brian Light on acquiring the Eye of Trias."

*Clap* Clap*

Amid everyone's gazes of envy, Brain stored the card and glanced at Azzy from the corner of his eyes.

"It's time to reveal the final item of this auction." As Leroy made an announcement, Ramiel then stood up from his seat.

Stepping onto the stage, he summoned his storage card and took out a glossy black crown with a gem embedded in the middle. As soon as it was taken out, everyone in the room just stared at it with a look of fascination.

It was a bright green oval-shaped 50-carat gem. Azzy could sense a tremendous amount of energy and life force within it. He could also sense some strange thing but wasn't able to put his finger on what he was sensing.

"Behold, the Jewel of Life." Leroy proudly announced it with a big smile on his face, looking at everyone. "We don't know its origins or its age but according to what we have researched so far, this doesn't belong here. It might have been crashed onto our planet from the celestial world during the meteor strikes just like a few other ancient relics."

It was then the Reaper's voice was once again echoed in his head. "No wonder, I couldn't see this future in any possibility. The Cosmic Gem has the power to resist my vision."

"Cosmic gem?" Azzy asked the Reaper curiously. Since the Reaper knows its origins and it seemed to be resisting the Reaper's visions, Azzy believed it is no ordinary relic.

The Reaper answered, "You have heard the history of the origin of the universe from your future counterpart. So, I won't waste any time repeating the same thing again. However, I will tell you about an important incident that he failed to mention. Maybe, he wished for me to tell you this story. Who knows… Anyway…"

Meanwhile, Leroy continued, "Coming to the details, this gem constantly absorbs the natural energy from the surroundings and heals the wearer's injuries and life force instantly. So, unless the wearer would get killed in one strike, he/she will be invincible. Along with that, the wearer could also save a person from even a near-death state."

His explanation made everyone's minds go frenzy. On the other hand, Claire thought it was quite similar to her ability when she activates the Holy Ground skill card and soul skill: Descent of the Heavenly Guardian.

Every single person in the room longed to possess it. However, his next words brought a nuke to their expectations.

"Now, let's talk about risks. One, not any ordinary human can possess it. It needs a strong soul and top-tier Arcana spirit to handle its power. In simple terms, only a true child of the heavens has the power to bond with this jewel and draw the power from it.

The stepchildren of heavens could also harness its power as they have strong souls despite weak Arcana spirit. However, the effects will be weaker.

Two, it is extremely dangerous to take the gem from this crown. If you do, then, make sure not to touch it with bare hands because your life force will be consumed instantly and you die.

Even if you want to transfer into a different object, then, that object must be either a magical object with the power of divinity or it should be made of at least 80% of Adamantium.

Three and final, when one person managed to bond with the jewel, his/her soul will be bound to it and can only relinquish the ownership when they die. So, there's a life risk from the people who covet it."

Silence filled the surroundings as soon as he finished explaining the risks. There's tremendous power but it also comes with high risks. A few of them gave up in their hearts.

Then, as Leroy announced the starting price, half of the guests completely gave up on it.

"The gem comes the crown too. And this crown was made of Adamantium. So, that's why we fixed the starting price at 2 billion credits. The bidders can also offer magical treasures. However, Vice-President Crescent will decide their worth. Let the final auction begin."

While the intense bidding for the final item was going on around, Azzy, on the other hand, was concentrating on the story behind the origins of the gem.

"At the dawn of time, during the creation, it was stated that the creator's soul was split into four parts that led to forming Time, Death, Life, and Space. However, contrary to the beliefs, it wasn't four or even five. It was six."

"Six?" Azzy wondered whether the two are these so-called cosmic gems.

The Reaper continued, "Getting contacted with the energy, one of the other two parts of the Creator's soul was materialized into a Gem and stranded into space.

We gave it to Zeus to guard it. It was kept secret in the Celestial world for some time until their realm was invaded by the Protos Race to harness its power.

Although the Protos Race was defeated and locked up in another dimension, the greater gods realized the existence of the Gem and greed took over their hearts as they learned of how they can make them True Gods.

Having no other choice, we split the Gem forcefully into 11 different parts and spread all over the expanding universe.

Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Light, Dark, Life, Death, Time, and Space. A total of 11 cosmic gems were stranded in different worlds. One of them seems to be landed on Gaia."

"Wait… wait a second." Azzy felt something wrong with the explanation. He asked the Reaper about the time and space gems as they aren't Attributes, to which, the Reaper just chuckled and replied, "You are misinterpreting the meaning of attribute, kid. You have an hourglass, you can control the time. People use teleportation skill cards, pocket dimensions, and storage cards. Aren't they using Space abilities? The reason why many people consider only seven attributes is because each attribute has a true god they represent and they aren't limited to specific groups like the Life and Death attributes.

For example, the Life attribute is only seen in the Angel race. Death attribute can only be seen in a descendant of the Death clan's founder, although it usually appears in the main branch of the Garcia family. 

On the other hand, Time control ability is only exclusive to a handful of individuals that were chosen by me and bestowed a part of my power.

And the Space, that entity was so generous that it gave permission to all the living creatures to harness the Space attribute as long as they can understand the laws of nature."
