The eighth test chamber was far away, Cyra had to walk through countless teleportation gates until she eventually reached her 8ths test chamber, Entering it Cyra nose was hit by the strong sensation of blood, but the room was more or less empty, it was a small little field with 2 mountains at the center as she looked up that was when her eyes fell on an enormous viper like creature hugging a golden sun like object.
The next moment she could feel a piercing pain hitting her head, as the pain stopped she started see records of past events similarly to an ancient date base, it was also part of history, a part that she knew very little about.
Soon everything went dark and than when light came back Cyra was only standing as an observer while a mysterious voice was narrated what was happened in her surroundings.
You could say that this is the story of my life, in the beginning I was only a young scientist in a far, far away place from earth, when I was nearing the end of my life I was recruited to join the EU creator division, here I spent the last of my days preparing my grand entrance to the young children of earth as a teacher, I decided to be one of the few who actually teaches them.
After the Essence has disappeared the administrators became completely powerless and we teachers took over the job to guide them towards wisdom and knowledge, in the year B.C 1012 I begann my journey as a sacred object called the Ark of the 10 commandments, for almost up to 500 years I guided them and always displayed 10 rules for them to follow, I did made changes to these rules every once in a while to ensure that they are up to date and my guidance can show them the right way.
In the year B.C 586, I left the People Young ones that were carrying me for years, sadly they became way to zealous against their own good, than I arrived to another place run by demigods, they still had some unknown ways to use Essence but it was running at the late and, after reaching Alexandria I decided to open a library, being a book my self it seemed to be the right thing to do, yes I'm a book I also heard that i was known as a box. so silly anyways i went off topic, so in B.C 283 I created the world largest library by letting them copy the knowledge that I stored, sadly my grand plans to speed up our children reaching adulthood greatly slid down the drain, together with the thousands of copied books and information regarding the various subjects.
Even my original form was destroyed, in the year B.C 48 not long after I was transported to Rome where I was recasted into a golden eagle, I witnessed the conquests of the Roman Empire but I missed it's fall, the legion I last set out with was stationed at England.
For a few years I just stayed quiet, I wasn't in the mood to teach, I have chosen a small village and spent more than 800 years there, soon it became a gathering of clans that had multiple gods whom they prayed to, it was at that time I was getting to be known as the world serpent of the Norse mythology, this was the last time I decided to try to teach them, but they were simply to barbaric to my taste so I entered a slumber, sleeping through 5 world wars, until the administrators could guide them towards the right path and join the ranks of the Eternal Union, as for me I was sent on a mission to judge those who were deemed worthy by the tests, so I will be judge of the legacy holder, as the being who saw all faces of the Earth children.
When Cyra came back to her senses she was levitating between the 2 giant mountains, as she looked around she could see a semi transparent body of the world serpent being under her, while it's face was observing her with its giant eyes.
"As the one who wish to receive Earth Legacy you also have to walk the path of blood and death, but first you have to experience and take on your shoulders the sins of this damned Legacy, so brace your self because this is probably the hardest test that you will ever face here!" Said the world serpent than it vanished and Cyra started falling towards the ground in an alarming rate with the help of fly she landed unscathed.
Than she could only hear Boom! Boom!! Boom!!! 3 gigantic explosions stuck her surroundings and 3 shock waves came crushing down on her without warning, after barely being able to avoid it, came the second wave in a form of storm clouds, and to top it off radioactive clouds gathered above her head, the radiation caused her regeneration to cause weird effects such us growing hair in her mouth and muscles in random locations, the system had to constantly repair her DNA structure.
This continued for several days until the serpent spoke, - "Interesting I was sure that you would die from that, well it doesn't matter let's turn this up by a notch!" [Str: 614.28] -> [Str: 664.28]
The world suddenly started to get flooded by water, until Cyra couldn't breathe, the waves of the water were constantly hitting and crusher to hit the mountain walls head on, this kept crushing her skull and bones, the force was simply way to great to handle.
Her only way of survival was to constantly sacrifice her legs and bones to by time to regenerate so she wouldn't take any fatal damages to her internal organs, but even with that she was expecting a great deal of pain and suffering.
[Str: 664.28] -> [Str: 714.28]
The serpent didn't speak anymore simply silently observed what was happening, it was secretly pleasantly surprised by what it saw, even if most of it people failed to reach its expectations having one was already more than enough!
The following sin was sand, they came because humans destroyed the nature and caused the creation a great Amazon Desert, which was once a blooming rain forest.
The razor sharp dust was constantly cutting up Cyra skin, it was like her Essence and Strength was meaningless against the power created by the serpent, all she could do is silently bearing these sins without dodging or run away from them, it's not like those were options to begin with, she knew perfectly well humans nature but she didn't really regret it, she was doing this with sparkling interest, she was feeling great pain, it's true that you can get pain tolerance as your body grows through adventures but when you building it up from scrap almost every day, this so called tolerance level also resetting.
This Sand Storm was the longest challenge she has faced so far lasting for a whole 3 weeks, without an end, walking in a sandstorm is even more deadly than sitting but she couldn't care less at this point she was getting numb from just sitting there and doing nothing.

With a weird look on her face, Cyra sit back down and continued to wait, time was ticking by it has already been 2 additional weeks, now on top of the Sand Storm she was occasionally got stuck by lightning, and every morning and evening a sonar wave caused her ears to bleed, as blood was dripping from her nose on her bloody body, it didn't even resemble a body at this point, it was just a bloody scrap with mixture of bones and broken joints.
Than suddenly on one day all of this has stopped, she was currently resembling a crumpled piece of paper, she wanted to eat so badly but had no strength to do so, eventually she managed to feed her self by the help of fly, she used it to move her own torn flesh into the mouth, she eat her arm to regain her other, with a slow process her body gradually returned to its prime.
"Congratulations for having such a remarkable body, now wear going to test your mentality, brace your self little holder true struggle only starting now!"
Cyra Vision was enveloped by darkness, she was witnessing the 3rd world war than the 4th and 5th, with all it's death, sacrifices and glory, aside from war she also witnessed the destruction of the plane again and again, she was never a sentimental individual so to say that she wasn't moved by this at all wasn't an exaggeration, she was perfectly fine with this nothing can stay the same for ever, she doesn't mind to remember but to fell sad for past events wasn't her thing, Crying wouldn't have changed anything not than and definitely not now, she took it as watching history. [Int: 140.40] -> [Int: 150.50]
It was at that moment when she was effected by something, she was feeling an unknown Essence penetrating her body, as it came deeper and deeper, until it stuck her heart, than a black mist visibly forming out of thin air turned into her best friend from Earth, it constantly took on the appearances of people she spent great time with, not wanting to fail the challenge she decided to cheat, the consciousness left Cyra and return to Cyrus, after waiting for 20 minutes he looked back, when she opened her Eyes she found the World serpent gravely injured before her eyes, it was in a truly sorry state.
"Who are you?" Asked the world serpent.
"Um Cyra?" Asked Cyra wasn't sure how to answer the sudden question..
"I'm 23 years old, how about you?" Asked the world serpent with curious eyes..
"Probably 6, why?" Asked Cyra kinda puzzled
"That's impossible if you were in your 6 Cycle I wouldn't have been this badly injured for trying to attack you!" Screamed the world serpent with madness..
System why is it so hurt?
[2nd Halo]
Oh
"Somewhere above 5000+ no idea by how much.. sry, also you seem surprisingly mature to your age.." Said Cyra, she had truly no idea..
"Well, because of the project I skipped normal cycles, I should be much more mature than most souls in my age" Explained the serpent proudly for Cyra.
