At the King's Chambers all the members of division eight had gathered. They were to give their reports to the King. Upon seeing the king a cold chill run down Noct's spin as he cold feel The king's immense power. The king demanded Erza to give out the report and this is how she stated it;
Upon arriving at Atlantis it had already been attacked by the enemy. they called themselves the Gyousei and their objective was something called The Eternal stone. They slaughtered half of the people of Atlantis including their fighters with just ten of their members including their leader. We tried stopping them but we were overwhelmed by their power and suffered a major defeat. Poseidon was captured by the enemy and Laila inherited the throne of Atlantis becoming the new Queen of the seas.
The King: Hmm I see so that old bastard predicted all this and took precautions. I always knew Laila was an Atlantian and would inherit the throne one day but not to soon. You mentioned about the eternal stone are you sure about that.
Erza: Yes my lord!
The King: If it is that then we are doomed.
Noct: Why are we doomed? What are those stones?
The King: The Eternal stones were made by The Living Order who's the representation of Law and Order in the Cosmos. He is second only to the Supreme God and follows and enforces his will.
I already know about The Living Order but why would he create those stones, Noct questions himself.
The King: In order to Maintain true balance in the Cosmos The Living Order made the Eternal stones. There are seven eternal stones and each represent an aspect of the Cosmos. Time, Space, Soul, Power, Reality, Law and Mind. After creating the stones, he distributed it to the The Order of God's. They are the Olympians (Zeus and Poseidon), The Overseers, The Twins ( Infinity and Eternity), The Virtues, The Celestials and The Norse God's. But the most important thing about these stones is that it allows one to break free from all the Laws of the Cosmos and grant it's user two of their desired wishes at no cost or limitations.
Noct: But my Lord what specifically would Humans want to wish for?
The King: Do you think they are Human. When you fought them didn't you notice it. Their Aura and souls is not that of a human and that includes you.
Noct is shocked by what the king said. Sasuke tried changing the topic.
Sasuke: So My Lord if one is able to gather all the Eternal does that mean they will be able to defeat the The Living Order with it.
The King: Ha you really think someone who created the most powerful artifact in the Cosmos with just sheer will would not be able to destroy it. The stones power might be infinite based on it's user but it doesn't work on some God's. And most importantly imprint this into your memory. Never underestimate The Living Order because he's a nigh-omnipotent being. You can all leave.
The members of the division eight left the Room.
The King prompts Rebecca and his Royal knights about something.
King: That Laila girl sure inherited her father's precognition. Is as if she predicted all this and imprinted the key of Olympus on that Noct boy.
Leo: Does that mean that that boy has access to Olympus and the Underworld?
King: Indeed he does. Very soon some of you knights will leave for Olympus. We can't expect the same disaster as today. you are all dismissed.
As they all left the room, Leo approached Chrollo who had come for the meeting Jinn stead.
Leo: You why did you refuse to become a Royal knight back then and decided to become a division commander and give that position to Jinn.
Chrollo: Maybe I have my reasons.
Leo: To be honest I don't trust you. During the invasion you could not be found and during the recent incident you couldn't be found anywhere again.
Chrollo: Are you suspecting me to be part of the enemy?
Leo: I never said that Is your words not mine. But if you really turn out to be part of them I promise I would be the one to end you.
Chrollo: Hm is that so. Let's just hope is true and see whether you can actually kill me. But the next time you accuse me without any grounds you might regret it. Afterall my duty lies to the one who seats atop the throne.
Chrollo leaves Leo deep within his thoughts.
Is been a very long and stressful day finally night has approached.
The Hunter squad HQ
Noct lied In his bed thinking about his life. He thought about how great the life he was living was but also how weak he's. He thought about how he couldn't even stop an enemy that his original self would have obliterated in minutes. Due to this he lost one of his friends and many people died because of how weak he was. Noct Begins to sob but he hears a voice in his head.
If I knew you were just going to lie in bed and cry yourself to sleep I wouldn't have sent you here, said the voice as it begun laughing.
Noct: D-Dante eee.
Yo said Dante. I saw whatever has happened so far but why are you blaming yourself.
Is because I wasn't strong enough if I just had a bit more power I might have stood a chance but I couldn't even lay a hands on him said Noct.
Dante laughs loudly and exclaims how it is not his fault. Even 30% of my power is enough to destroy this entire reality and extend to other Realities that's why I suppressed your power drastically. To be frank is like a limiter I placed on you. Therefore you are basically on the same level as a Royal Knight and you have no law manipulation so you can't do anything hahahaha.
So wait the reason why am weak is because of you exclaimed Noct.
Yeah Yeah! you want to become independent right therefore break this limiter on your own and you will acheive true independence. I just came here to tell you this. This battle is on your own and am not planning on intervening for now Dante said this and his voice disappeared.
Wait wait don't leave yet I still need you said Noct in a low and depressing tone.
The next Morning, Erza was about to set up on a journey to her homeland. She was stopped by the rest of Division eight as they asked her what her reason was.
And she replied by saying "Strength".
Then suddenly a voice from outside struck in. If is Strength you are pursuing then I shall accompany you. Everyone turned to look at the person and to their surprise it was Noct.
Erza: Do you really want to come with me. The journey won't be an easy one you know.
Noct: I don't care. If I can finally protect my friends again and not falter at the sight of the enemy then I don't care about the challenges.
Sasuke: If that's the case then I shall also tag along.
Same here said Derek and the remaining members.
Lucy(in a shy and soft tone): Eerhm if y-you w-were to g-get injured who would take care of you. T-therefore I want to go with you Erza.
After saying this Lucy starts blushing and holding her face in her palm. This caused the rest of the division members to laugh at her.
Noct: So Erza what do you think do you want us to come with you?
Erza looks down with a happy-sad face expression. Then she replies by saying,"Yes Let's all go together". So this is what Friendship is like Erza thought to herself.
At the third Dimension
Dante: It took a very long time but I have finally reached the final world in the third dimension.
Chronos: Would you like me to help. After all the final creature/Giant that was sent here is more powerful than all the other Giants from the 1st-49th realm combined.
Dante: That makes me want to fight it more. Plus if I kill it I will gain an enormous boost in power.
Chronos: Well then I wish you all the best. Come back Alive Indra.
Dante walks through a Portal which sends him to the Domain of the 50th World Ruler Skyscraper.
Dante: So we finally meet huh Skyscraper. Don't let me down.
To be continued
Erza and his Companions are about to embark on a journey to her homeland the Realm of witches also known as the spirit Realm. Will they be able to gain the strength they seek?
Author's Words: I contradicted the various layers of the third dimension as being the size of a universe but it is not. The size of each world is like that of our solar system.
The skyscraper is an evolved giant and now it has become an Entity which takes the form of a Purple Sphere with no physical features.
There are lots of realms, universes and Timelines in the world of TRORR.
Also The Living Order is a higher dimensional being that rules over the entire Cosmos and represents the will of God. He can only be seen by beings of which he approves (the order of Gods)and beings who are of a higher Dimension than he is. The Living Order has four heads each having something they represent with each of their faces being covered except from the front head. his eyes are all blue and his body's colour is as bright as the sun. The Living Order is the head of the Order of God's and he dwells at an entirely different reality overseeing all the events that take place in the cosmos. The Living Order only exists to serve the supreme god.
