**********Narrator's Side*************
This behaviour was expected of Red but she still hoped that Red would follow her will and just run away but unbeknown to even Arieanna herself that Red hasn't left and gained the support of her father because she currently can't use her power to snoop on Red because the time is coming near and if for some reason Machiavellian is done with the device earlier then he can figure out where she is looking and attack Red thinking of him as someone for her cause. What she hasn't accounted for is Red's persistence and her forgetting to tell him why the support of her father is that important, which is because if she loses her power and die's even Red and the rest of the Lower World will die soon enough then because of the entire Lower World is powered by her and maintained by her power and as long as they aren't picked up by another being who utilises Origin Energy, they are in a bad position. Like that countless world's have collapsed, and similarly countless more will if they aren't passed on to their disciple's or subordinates.
Maintaining and developing worlds generates more energy which will then be used to grown and develop themselves and creating more worlds thus using Origin Energy to generate more Origin Energy while raising their own strengths. The more world's they control the stronger they are, but also the strength of the resident's of that world are necessary to assess the quality like how the purer and denser the Mana gathered is better and a show of strength for the Exalted race it is the most number wise and most strength wise and like everywhere only the strongest is worshiped and the weak are kicked and made into slaves. Here potential is very important but the most important is immediate overpowering. To completely annihilate any opponent instantly is what is expected of the strong and if you can't fulfil it you will be stripped of everything and your abilities will be taken by the stronger one.
While all of these expositions are going on, around the clock it has only been 16 hrs and Machiavellian has already completed his device and quite early, there is literally no time as he is heading towards Arieanna to steal her Origin Ability and to get The Golden Circle.
**********Arieanna Side***********
*Sigh* There really is nothing more I can do, I have been resisting so long and almost all of my Origin Energy is now absorbed by him and his device to steal my Origin Ability is probably already complete seeing how he is headed here. Look's like that bastard truly has gotten the better of me.
"Bastard, stop lurking over there I can already sense you."
"Oh little miss still has some of her infinite Origin Energy left to retaliate huh, who woulda have thunk that? Well anyway all of your resistance is over, there is nothing more you can do. Buhahahahahaa I will steal your Abilities and then take your precious Golden Ring and I truly will be the strongest. Everything will be mine then, even you. Hahahahaha that look of disgust is what I would love breaking."
"Oh I give up, do whatever you want. Is that how you though it was going to go?"
**********Narrator's Side***********
Arieanna's Origin energy had really depleted so what gave her that confidence? Her hundred's of thousands of years of experience and knowing this old bastard she knew that she will have to do something to get away from him and that is what she has been planning for those thousand years, she has been filling The Golden Circle which had been exhausted after her war with Bone Race with her Origin Energy charging it with her then near infinite energy and doing it in such a subtle manner so that no one finds out which was the most difficult because of the constant detection on her earlier.
In that war against the Bone Race she had spent those 100 day's of the war to kill everyone from Bone Race which had exhausted her and her Golden Circle causing her to not being able to react to the incoming capture she faced because of the betrayal of everyone around her who desired her power and this old Prince being the one seeking it the most.
The Golden Circle is an artefact created by an Someone of the Origin Race in order to find out a way to fend out Invaders and over time of millions of years of which it has been lost for a majority of and has changed a lot of hands by people aiming to posses its power. Although it was initially only a Mythic class Artefact it had a consciousness and ability to grow and in these millions of years it has been slowly growing.
Due to the lack of Origin Energy the Golden Circle has only been able to replicate the powers of her creator up go 1000 times stronger than he himself could. While that might be the case the lack of Origin Energy doesn't allow the usage of that quality of power so in the end only it's special and ultimate and Unique artefact attribute works which provides your aura an intrinsic ability and increases the speed of growth by 100 times which would make a thrash a prince but consider what would it make out of a prince? Something akin to a God. While using its unique ability to grant Eternal Youth.
Although everyone over a certain level of expertise can look whatever age and however they desire to look as they internally grow older and although for the exalted race tens of thousands of years is not much hundreds of thousands of years degrade them and reduce their abilities to not be able to use more that 5% of their abilities so they resort to dying in order to recover as young and have the ability to grow more this however doesn't concern the masters of the willing golden circle once they gain their approvals they will live youthfully for all eternity and only die if they are killed or desire to die themselves.
