54 World Council (2/2)
The power source of a supreme world!
Just the meteorites have created so many wonders on earth so what about the cosmic spark?
Just the thought of this excited the council to the bones! Perhaps the dream of eternal life would no longer be a mere dream!
Even if eternal life is not possible then there is Cosmic Manipulation which one can gain from cosmic spark! The ability by which one can manage the cosmic power to do anything as one pleases!
Alas, the world government only has a single hair-like shard of cosmic spark so the research didn't gain much practical usage.
But if they had another shard?
”The shard we have has never created a phenomenon like the ones in Delta city. So it is most likely Castor Damon has either found a way to use the shard properly or the shard he found is more powerful,” Lord Elliot said.
”We can't be sure Castor Damon is alive,” Lord Harley interjected,” He got help from those revolutionaries so maybe he was killed by them later on.”
”We can't be sure of anything,” the deformed lady from before said in a cold voice, ”We don't even know if the shard is with someone or is it creating this phenomenon on its own.”
”Agreed,” Lord Kakusandha joined in and said something which shocked everyone,” We can't even be sure if it is just a shard.”
The council members sucked in a breath of cold air!
Right! What if it wasn't a shard but the entire Cosmic Spark!
The scientists have hypothesized that the true cosmic spark has the thickness and size of a baby's fist! The government had a single shard which resembled a fine hair but wasn't it possible for the rest of cosmic spark to remain intact?
”Don't count your chickens before they hatch,” a feminine ice-cold voice shattered the dreams of council members.
The speaker was a woman who appeared to be in her twenties. Her skin was as white as the snow while her hairs were as dark as the deep night.
”Ice Queen is right,” Lord Kakusandha bowed down towards the woman and, ”This monk's heart was blinded by the greed.”
Ice Queen ignored his words of thank but lord Kakusandha didn't take any offense. He knew her disposition was of a queen and it wasn't just because of her title.
Her title of Ice Queen was due to her ability, but she was a real queen as well!
Queen of Eden!
Eden!
The commoners of this world usually call it by its another name — Beauty Island! An island only for women!
”We sure don't know much for ruling more than half the world,” said a man with a dragon tattoo on his right cheek,”We might as well name the council as a council of ignorant.”
The council members became silent for the insult truly stricken them in the heart. They were the rulers of this world but yet as ignorant as the masses.
”Lord Lewis, it is me who should be blamed for the lack of information regarding Delta City,” Mason apologized for the failure.
”Mason, I understand you might be tired since it is your second term in office,” Lord Lewis waved off his hand and said, ”It is hard to not get tired after getting the attention of young women. So maybe you need to rest.”
Mason felt a chill down his spines. He was a married man with children but if the news of his infidelity was leaked then his political power...
Damn!
Will the general populace agree to have a leader who doesn't respect the sanctity of marriage? Will the public trust a man who can't be faithful to his own wife?
If I lost my position then what about my pursuit of strength and eternal life? The council didn't need to care about the perception of the general populace unlike me!
Fuck!
Mason knew the councilman was warning him by stating his affairs so that he would do his best.
”Please give me a chance to prove myself,” Mason begged.
The council members nodded their head which brought a relief to Mason.
Lord Elliot turned his face towards a muscular man with black hairs and green pupils.
”Great Poseidon of Atlantis, is there something you would like to add? ” Lord Elliot respectfully asked. It was the first time he was so respectful throughout the meeting.
In the end, the powerful is revered and this applied in every society. As the king of Atlantis, Poseidon carried a great deal of power himself beside the power of sea race.
So how can lord Elliot not be polite towards him?
”I don't have any problems with your arrangments as long as you remember our original treaty,” Poseidon nonchalantly said.
”You can rest assured on that,” Lord Elliot and others nodded their head.
One by one the projection of the council members disappeared from the room.

Atlantis.
The lost city was covered by an invisible force field only allowing the free flow of water and nothing else. Various types of marine lifelines were visible throughout.
The sea serpent, Leviathan, sea monk and other mutated sea animals were constantly guarding the borders of the sacred land.
Temples, palaces, castles, and other types of infrastructures were visible throughout the submerged land inhabited by sea nymphs, mermaids, siren, selkie, and others.
Poseidon was sitting on his throne with his eyes closed and his right hand on a white orb. Below the dais, his wife, Anthea, was standing. She was a graceful woman bearing a beauty so astonishing that she could topple empires with her one gaze.
Suddenly, Poseidon opened his eyes.
”How was the meeting?” Anthea's voice was sweet like an angel.
”Just a waste of time,” Poseidon walked down the dais.
”Is that so?” Anthea asked again. She was feeling something amiss from her husband's face even though he did his best to conceal.
”You know me far too well,” Poseidon kissed her on her forehead and said, ”I have to pay a visit to the temple.”
Anthea was shocked by his words.
”Surely Atlantis is not in danger?” Anthea hurriedly asked.
”Nothing like that. There is some guidance I need before I make a decision,” Poseidon explained to her.
”Guidance?” Anthea wanted to ask more, but then she heard the throne room opening. She turned around and saw a young woman in her late teens dashing towards them.
”Father! Mother!” the young woman shouted as she dashed in the arms of her parents. Her skin was glistening with the luster of beautiful jade just like her mother.
”Melina, you are rather early today,” Anthea lovingly adjusted the tiara over her daughter's head. Poseidon looked at the actions of his daughter and wife with a smile.
”Melina, I have an urgent task so can you look over your mother for me?” Poseidon asked his daughter.
”Of course! I will protect mother!” Melina readily agreed. Anthea smiled at her daughter's words but deep down she was worried about her husband.
---------------------
Poseidon entered a large temple made of exquisite crystals. The crystals in the wall scanned through his body multiple times before allowing him to enter the core section of the temple.
Unlike the other places in Atlantis, the core region of the temple didn't have a single drop of water. The core region was made of red crystals throughout but at the center, there was a throne made of blue crystals. Poseidon's gaze fell on the throne upon which a woman was sitting with her eyes tightly shut.
The woman's skin was snow-white but her face was blue. If one looked carefully, it was possible to see the blue crystals of the throne has fused with her body.
”Holy Seer, I beg of your guidance,” Poseidon bowed down deeply in respect.
Slowly, the woman opened her eyes...
