Chapter 272 - THE CURSE 02 (1/2)

Everyone was so engrossed with the story, digesting it that no one even notices that many of the people here were sweating.

This goes beyond their understanding.

First there was the revelation that there is a race of ancient alien that have lived for so long that they exist long before Earth even exist

And this is trillion and trillion of years ago.

Then they heard a story about a technology that enables its user to view the beginning of time itself.

What kind of civilization is this and what kind of power they possessed to exist for so long and not be forgotten by time?

Even Azief was shocked.

He heard stories of the Orvanian, the Protector of the Myriad Realities but he always dismissed it as a myth.

No one have ever seen an Orvan and even though some travelers from some distant galaxies would tell stories of how they met an Orvanians many would consider it just a tall tale in their adventures like pirates boasting about they met mystical creature in the sea.

However different people have different understanding and have different degree of fear and dread.

Azief understand more than these people because he had traveled to many of the places albeit unintentionally during those four years he was stranded with Will

So he felt more at awe of Orvan.

Their civilization was around even longer than the Olympians and even the Asgardians and even more earlier.

They truly are an ancient being.

But he still didn't understand the part about the multiverse and how it connects to Sithulran other than the fact that Sithulran created a device.

Sith'lenor then look toward Hirate and then he answers.

'She did see it' Azief face turns solemn.

Everything has a price. To see the beginning of time….thinking about it Azief don't know if that is a curse or blessing.

So he ask Sith'lenor

'And what is the price of doing such thing?' Azief ask sharply. Sith'lenor then closes his eyes and there is a bitter smile on his face.

'You humans must understand that while what Sithulran was wrong…..we at the time did not think it was wrong at all. We were all young and impetuous, arrogant and full of hubris. Like the Ethernian we were mistaken. None of us believes an old prophecy. None of us heeded the Old Ones. In a way even I help her in creating that device'

Sith'lenor said and Hirate eyes shines.

He was not the only one. Jean also looks at Sith'lenor with renewed interest

'Then you know how to build it?' Jean asked.

Sith'venar behind Sith'lenor shakes his head.

'The Captain had his memory erased' He simply said and Jean then nodded. Paulette rubs Jean back gently.

Jean was clearly disappointed

Sith'lenor continued his story.

'The thing she sees when she saw the beginning of time was a finger. At least that is what we deduce from her ramblings. Our brightest person turns into a mad person just by seeing that finger. From her rambling we deduce she catches a glimpse of a finger that seems to be imbued with such an immense force of creation that there would be no other and no comparison with His power. That finger was depositing the speck that would become the entire cosmos. She saw how the Nothingness of Things were filled with life essence and how Universe started sprouting without any Laws'

The scene of the History Projection did not change. Clearly even this projection could not visualize the image that Sithulran saw.

Sith'lenor then continued his story

'Her device exploded at that instant and the force of the explosion of her device fills with the energy of All-Universes causes an unthinkable thing to happen. Reality at that time….only have one. But because of the explosion of her device it causes the strong and sturdy reality to rips apart and infinitely, Laws of the Universe to multiply and mutated infinitely'

'The Universe then scattered causing the creation of the entire Multiverse. The Universe then replicates into an infinite number of parallel universes'

Then the History projection Orb died down as the floating Orb in the middle of the table stopped spinning and the bunker room return to normal.

The Orb floated back to Sith'lenor hand as he put it back inside his sleeve.

There is no longer the image of the starry skies, or the planet Orvan.

The people in the room are all thinking about this matter seriously. Sometimes they look at each other like they don't know whether to believe this story or not.

Silence descended on the room.

Then the moment passed. Raymond look toward Sith'lenor and Sith'venar and then he asked

'None of you Orvanian did anything to reverse it?' Raymond said in disdain.

Weakly Sith'lenor answered.

'We did try…to no avail. However the more we tried the more disaster seems to happen. Meddling with the very fundamental Laws that make up the Universe is not wise. It unleashed disaster upon disaster upon all existence. We learn a very terrible lesson.'

Then Sith'lenor said

'Sometime I even wondered if that prophecy is really a prophecy and not actually the written thing about what is to come, inevitable and destined. It was like that prophecy carved in Eluvian stone was actually a record of what is to happen that could not be changed. We Orvanians sometimes wondered if the Five Seats of Orvan knew what was about to happen when Sithulran created her device and that whether it was all predestined.'

Azief knows that this is Sith'lenor personal opinion of the matter

Azief heard the story or Orvan and the Multiverse. It is shocking….however there is nothing he could do about it.

It happens millions of years ago.

But Sith'lenor still did not explain how Sithulran could not die.

Azief then ask

'You still did not answer how Sithulran is unable to die' The other around Azief suddenly was reminded of this and nodded.

Raymond nodded as that is why they were listening to Sith'lenor story.

Oreki on the other hand while he is appearing to listen attentively to Sith'lenor story his eyes seems to be bursting with golden lightning like something unstable is happening in his body.

Azief is the only one that notices this.

Azief seems to sense that there is something wrong with Oreki but not knowing what is wrong with him Azief could only ignore it.

Boris on the other hand is relaying all of this matter to the Senate with video feed.

The same could be said for the World Government as Hirate is sending information about this matter to the new Quorum members who are full of people who were loyal to him and Raymond.

It is funny now that the situation did not happen as they were expecting they began improvising on the spot.

Anyone that comes here was prepared to die. Even Hirate. Even Boris. Surviving a war could change any person.

They sometimes went against each other for benefit and profit but they also were changed intensely by their experience in the war.

Fighting and dying for profit and benefit…everyone understand this especially Boris and Hirate.

But what they saw in the Weronian War…as long as they are a human with any decency they would surely not wish upon the world such a war again.

The brutality, the cruelty….it was something unimaginable.

Azief did not see all the cruelty that was inflicted upon humanity because the moment he returned he fights Purunghasa and then passed his Purifying of Fire and then were sealed inside the Ice Mountain.

But Hirate saw what happen during the war and its aftermath. Raymond, Boris and the others all saw it.

Broken homes, war orphans, tragic stories all around.
