Looking upon the towering Bookshelves that looked like Skyscraper. A Strange Light within the Ceilings that exudes an Ancient Feeling. It was an Orange Golden Light. Which was different from the Blue Nuclear Light of Radiation. Right at the entrance of the Library was a Grand Staircase. It was wide enough to fit Two Trucks. The Whole Third Chamber was different than what she had originally thought.

Persia was at the Entrance of the Giant Library. She looked around with an Expression of Curiosity plastered on her face. The Giant Library would mean a Large Building full of Information. Some Information might help her in the Adventure she was going through. The Only Problem she had was the Size of the GIant Library. It looked like an Endless Place of Wisdom, and it was a Problem.

'It seems that traveling a Dozen Hundred Kilometers make sense now. With the Size of the Giant Library. I might not have noticed that I am going deep and deeper while being in the Dark Tunnel.' Persia thought to herself after looking around the Libray. There was no need to lose her mind on something like this. The Only thing she needed to do was to be calm. But then she realized something wrong.

'Wait... What? How is this possible. The Bright Light that Illuminated from my Body manage to reach this place? And how are the Homoanuras fast enough to reach the Second Chamber? This would mean that this place isn't the Third Chamber. Did I get lost?' Persia realized that the whole place was wrong. She got lost in the Ancient Temple, and she didn't even know it. The Giant Library wasn't the Third Chamber.

'Should I continue? This isn't the Third Chamber, so there is no reason for me to be here. But the Library seems to contain a lot of Information. I might be able to use it.' Persia nodded to herself as she finally reached a satisfying conclusion. There was no reason for her to leave a Place full of Information.

Persia began looking around the Entrance of the Giant Libray. She then slithered towards the Grand Staircase. According to her senses, there was no creature near her. The Giant Libary might be devoid in life. This would mean that this place wasn't under the Homoanuras influence.

'How did I enter this place. Did I enter a secret passage without knowing?' Persia looked back at the Dark Tunnel. She shook her head and continued to slither in the Grand Staircase. As she slithered through the Grand Staircase, Persia looked around the Giant Library, and a Thought passed through her mind.

'Ego, isn't this place your favorite?' Persia wondered as Ego was always hungry for Information. The Giant Library would probably make Ego excited. The Book within this Place might give Persia and Ego a good image of the World they are currently in. Ego's Monotone voice then echoed within Persia's mind. She was within Persia's Soul Core, so the situation and sight were unknown to Ego.

<Why is Sister here? Isn't this a Giant Library? This is far from being the Third Chamber, and the Size of this place is too big. There is no reason to build something like this other than to flex their knowledge. It is inefficient and hard, but it is a good flexing material. I wonder how Sister found this place.>

'During the Journey within the Dark Tunnel leading to the Third Chamber. It seems that I manage to enter one of the Secret Passages. This Giant Library is not under the influence of the Homoanuras. It would be a good assumption to say that they didn't manage to discover the place.' Persia answered as she finally reaches the bottom of the Grand Staircase.

<I see... Many things had happened while I was in the Plaza. Sister, should we leave this place? We have no reason to stay here as the Homoanuras aren't here. It would be a waste of time to stay in this place. After all, Time is of the essence. We don't have time to be looking around while we could exterminate the Homoanuras.>

Hearing Ego's words, Persia didn't know what to say. She expected Ego to be excited that they were in a Giant Library Full of Information. But it seems that Ego wanted to leave this place. Persia understood that they need to exterminate the Homoanuras as fast as possible but wasn't information gathering important?

'Isn't the Giant Library Good? This place could have Information about the World we are currently in. It might even have Information about something that isn't supposed to be known by the World.' Persia wanted Ego to check out the Giant Library. With the Information within it, It might contain secrets that weren't out to the World. It was an interesting and plausible theory.

<That is right, but the Information within the Library is blocked under the Language Barrier. We won't be able to understand anything written within the Books. So the Whole Libray might be useless for now. If Sister wanted to understand the Language written in these books, I would need the decode the Language written on the Books. Decoding the Language might take Years, but with the Reference within the Library. It might not be longer than a Year. But it will probably take Days or Months.>

'I see, but it seems you forgot one thing. Ego...' Persia thought with a smirk plastered on her face. She was somehow smirking for no reason. It seems that she got a good idea within her Mind. An Idea that could solve the current predicament in front of them. Ego's monotone voice then echoed within Persia's mind.

<Does Sister have an Idea to solve the Current Problem? I would like to know Sister's Idea, and about the things I forgot.>

'You should remember Two of my New Attribute Skills. They are Insight and Observation. Such Skills would help you decode the Language within the Books. The Insight could give you understanding, while Observation could help if you get confused. They might not be High-level Skills, but they are useful in our current problem.' Persia thought as her smirk turned into a smile. All Skills have their uses. After All, No Skills are useless.

<Hmm... I understand what Sister is trying to say. Insight would give me a Small Understanding, while Observation would give me every detail of the things within my Sight. It would be a problematic Skill if not controlled, but that problem will be for later. So does Sister want to continue with the Plan of decoding the Language?>

'Let's go with the Plan. We need to learn what we can learn in this Library.' Persia nodded. Persia wanted to know more about the World. Ego wanted to know more about the World. The Two of them wanted Information about the Vast World they are currently in. Ego's Monotone Voice then echoed within Persia's mind.

<Understood, I will begin the Operation.>

The Absolute Barrier within Persia began activating. She looked around and saw many White Transparent Square Barriers. They numbered Hundreds, but they were Smaller than the White Transparent Weapons. They Levitated around Persia and then began to fly towards the Bookshelves.

'This will take a while.' Persia thought as she continued slithering upon the Floor of the Giant Library. Below the Grand staircase was a Way leading to the Next Tunnel. She didn't know where it would lead. It could lead to the Greatest Dangers or the Greatest Opportunities. It was all up to Persia's choice.

Within the Library was a Hallway. The Hallway was the road that connected the Giant Library's Entrance to its Exit. At the Center of the Giant Library was a Strange Globe Structure. It was clear what the Globe Structure represented. It presented the Current World. To think the Species that built this place already had a Globe about the World.

'A Globe?' Persia furrowed her non-existent eyebrows when she saw a glimpse of the Globe. She was in the Hallway of the Library. It will take time for her to reach the Globe but time was no in the essence as she was alone in this Library. She slithered towards the Globe at her Normal Speed.

While Persia was slithering towards the Globe in the Center of the Library, The White Transparent Barriers were picking up Books all around her. They didn't bother looking at what they picked and just continued to pick more Books. The Numbers of Books picked up was increasing at a high rate. Some might even wonder how Persia would read the Books.

'This is big.' Arriving at the Globe, Persia finally looked at the Globe in its Full Form. It was bigger than her. It would be good to remind that Persia was a 6 meters Serpent. She had More or Less the same viewpoint as humans. The Globe in front of her was probably 30 meters tall.

'So this is the World.' Persia thought while looking at the Globe. She could only see one small part of the Globe, but one small part of it was enough to have details that was too much for her to understand. She didn't know what land she was currently in, but the whole world was divided into multiple islands.

The Number of Islands within the Small Part is probably 2 to 3. But Each island was too detailed that the Size related Problems might be larger than Persia thought. She shook her head and looked around the Giant Library. She could find the White Transparent Barriers picking the Books they need.

'Let's wait for Ego. She might have an answer about this.' Persia sighed as she curled her body. She planned to rest for a while. The Operation was still on its way to completion and even if Persia slept. It would disturb the Operation as Ego was the one that controlled the Barriers.

As time passes by within the Giant Library. The Silence that engulfed it was calming and peaceful. Persia was sleeping near the Globe while the White Barriers kept passing above her. Ego was decoding the Language while also gathering information from the Books. But how did she do it?

While investigating the Skills within Persia's Status. Ego managed to discover that some skills would react differently to each other. Ego could look around the area without Persia's sight, but it would take stamina from Persia. Persia didn't seem to mind Ego's operation taking Stamina, so Ego continued with the Plan.

Ego managed to read the Books without Persia's help by Combining many skills. The Skills were Augmentation, Observation, Accelerated Thought Process, Visual Perception, Seismic Tracking, Insight, and Awareness. With these skills, she managed to have a Pseudo-Skill named Spectator. It was a useful Skill as Ego could move around at a certain distance away from Persia's body.

Persia's curled body began moving. It was the sign of Persia waking up. She opened up her curled body and stretched it. After stretching her Serpent Body, She rolled around the Ground. It has turned into her Habit to roll on the ground after waking up. It was a strange but satisfying habit.

'Ego, are you don-.' Persia looked around and what she saw was shocking. She saw towering books in front of her. For some unknown reason, They looked menacing. It seems that Ego had fun while she was asleep. Ego's monotone voice echoed within Persia's mind.

<Sister, I'm done. The Operation has reached completion, and the Gathered Information is complete. I have learned many things, so Sister could ask anything she wants with me. My Knowledge might not be complete, but I have the basics completely understood.>

'How you manage to read the books while I'm asleep is strange, but it seems that you had fun. You learn many things while I was asleep, so I want you to tell me everything you learned.' Persia shook her head as she had a strange smile on her face. She looked at the Towering Books and was curious at what Information she could get.

<Understood, I'll begin the Lesson.>
