After returning from Resta's room, Adam was happily creating something. Inside the Special room he requested from Rastus, Adam was holding a spherical transparent crystal ball. He created it using Magic Stone and Magic concentration. Now he was enchanting it with a spell that will illustrate whatever he wants to visualise.
He wanted it to work like a projector. Thus, he added specified mental reading as well as a part of illusionist. If It will work or not, he will have to check.

Three days later....
As a participant and main brain of the meeting, Adam didn't go out of his way to escort them personally. He only opened a gate to each place and send in the servants of Grania Royal family.
Since Ace already knew about his ability to travel, Adam didn't have to explain everything. As for brine, he sent Celeste to make them trust his group a little more. As for the elven king, Since Ellie was with him, there was no problem whatsoever.
Now inside the room prepared for the meeting, Rastus was already seated together with the Knight Captain.
Three gates opened outside the room. From in it, Ace together with his Royal Knight from Aragon, Queen of Brine together with another Lady from Brine, The King of Elves together with one of the elders and Ellie exited the gate curiously.
Sending Ellie to her own plans, The King of Elves firstly went towards the door. The maid waiting there, opened the door slowly.
Following him, The queen of Brine as well as Ace entered the room. Entering the room, they saw Rastus waiting for them. But it wasn't just that. There was more than just four seats.
Although they were confused, no one asked anything. Each of them had a designated seat with their name and position on them. But even after they were seated, there was about three more seats alloted.
"Aren't all of us are here already? Why is the meeting not starting?"
Brine's Queen asked as she was the only one who didn't knew about Adam and his plans.
"Three more people will be joining us. Please be patient, Lady Sarya." Rastus responded.
The Queen of Brine, Sarya was confused since she was told that only the kings and queens of each country would be coming.
"I was told only us four are the participants. What are you planning?"
She seemed trying to see through any kind of plans. But Rastus shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Even I wasn't the one to create a plan like this. He will be here anytime now."
Ace who heard this asked,
"Is it him?"
Rastus nodded. Ace smiled in satisfaction. Seeing the two old men talking amongst themselves, she was kind of annoyed, so Sarya wanted to ask who are they talking about. But she was stopped as king of elves asked,
"Could it be him?"
He too seems to have understood. Ace and Rastus nodded with their eyes closed.
A tick mark appeared on her head as Sarya was only seeing the men talking about something while ignoring her.
She didn't have to wait any longer as Adam wearing the a mask, entered the room together with two ladies.
One of them was an old lady with brown hair and green eyes. It was the disguised Resta. No one, even Rastus know about her true form. She only shown it to her parents as well Adam.
The other was a lady with unnatural beauty accompanied by rainbow like hair and eyes. It was Celeste. Seeing her, even the kings, queen, and their guards ended up dazed in astonishment. They never seen such a beauty before.
Seeing him, those who understood smiled. Then, shocking the remaining two, Rastus and Ace stood showing how much respect they are giving to him.
One has to know, even when the kings and queens of other countries came, they didn't stood from their place. This actions caught the other two by surprise and shock.
The king of elves, since he knew who Adam was, he was even more shocked.
'What did he do to make these two stubborn old men to respect him..?'
That was his thoughts. As for Sarya, she too couldn't believe these two can actually respect someone else. Knowing these two, she understand that this person might be either stronger than them, or have a position higher than them, like for example the spirit queen.
So she and king of elves also stood. Resta who was together with Adam also could only be amazed at his position and charisma.
Arriving near their seats, Adam pointed to their seats and told the standing leaders to take a seat. Celeste took the seat next to his left and Resta to his right.
"Please, take your seat. There is no need to respect me that much."
He wasn't humbling himself. But he didn't like such things that much.
After everyone was seated, only their guards were standing behind each of them. As the master brain of this meeting, Adam stood before saying,
"We are all here for discussing about 'Truth Sanctuary'. Although almost everyone here knows each other, first let's introduce ourselves. From Aragon, the Emperor Ace, From Brine, Queen Sarya, From elf community, king Ludrocis, From Grania, King Rastus. The lady next to my right side is the Principal of Royal Academy, Resta. This lady here to my left is, the current Spirit Queen, Celeste. And..."
After saying this, he removed his mask,
"I am Adam Aves Aldians. As for my position, well, it doesn't matter."
The only one to be shocked was Sarya, as she never expected him to be such a handsome young man. She who was still single couldn't but blush a little even though she always acted coldly towards most men. But, she didn't underestimate him, as she knows there has to be a reason for his presence here.
Surprised by her silence, Rastus asked,
"What's wrong, Queen Sarya..? I was sure that you will ask why a child like him who doesn't have a position is here with us.."
Turning towards him, Sarya coughed slightly before saying,
"Indeed I would have asked if it was any other time. Also if I was an idiot. I know no one will be allowed in this meeting unless they have a something to do with it. I am not going to underestimate him just because he is a child. Besides, you two old men are respecting this 'child', which means there's more than to it."
Hearing her words, Rastus smiled as he said,
"As I expected of you. You live upto your title as the wise lady even now. Forgive me for asking that. I only wanted to see what your response is and also, introduce you to him."
Adam knew about her title which she got thanks to her genius brains. So he wasn't that surprised by that. He nodded to Rastus and continued his words.
"As I said before, my position doesn't matter here. I wouldn't have get involved in this if I wasn't affected by this matter. For now, let's talk about the Truth Sanctuary. They are a group of people with unknown aim. At least that's what we thought. But thanks to a mistake from their part, which is their failure to fully hide their aim. From the investigation, we've found that they attacked all three human countries as well as the elves. But, they didn't kill anyone, rather they were stalling for time. For what? While the threat was of a high level, you four were dragged into the battle against those who are weaker than you. But, they were able to fight against you almost equally thanks to the use of certain artifacts if I guess it right."
The four rulers nodded their head since that was obvious. There's no way someone weaker than them can defeat them or fight equally. Unless there's help from outside. Even for temporarily.
"We still don't know what kind of artifacts does they use. We can only guess. Returning to the point. While you four were distracted by the fight, someone else who can hide themselves well, even from a magic King or holy knight sneaks into the castle or rather, the treasury. What they wanted wasn't gold or anything valuable. But a small crystal."
Saying so, he showed them the divine stone. Each of them was showing surprised faces.
"Are you saying that this group of brats attacked four whole kingdom for some random tiny crystals..?" Sarya as the intelligent one asked him.
Adam smiled at her and said,
"You may think it's an ordinary crystal or rather just average beautiful crystal. But there is a long history and secret behind this little guy. But, rather than myself, it would be better for an expert to explain this."
Saying so, he flicked his fingers and Beta appeared begin him. The four rulers and their guards were horrified by the sudden appearance of an unknown woman. Only Ace relaxed as soon as he saw who it was. The others were cautious.
"Relax. She's not an enemy. Or rather, even if she's your enemy, you can't do anything against her. So I would like to warn you to stop trying to make an unwanted enemy."
He said and turned to Beta, "Beta, do you know what this is..?"
Beta accepted the crystal from his hands and stared at it for a few moments ignoring the glaring from the guards. Her eyes widened marginally before she asked,
"Yes, I know what it is, Master. But why do you have it?"
"I'll explain later. But can you explain to us what a Divine stone is?"
His question made her surprised once more.
'How did he knew it was the Divine Stone..?'
But she who trusted the prophecy, understood that he may have some other sources for such informations.
The others who never heard of such a stone was now waiting for Beta to explain.
"I don't know how you know what it is, master. But as you've said, it is indeed called the Divine Stone. Divine stones are Magic crystals. But they are not normal magic stones. They are created using divinity. There must be six more stones like this one but with different colours. It is one of the stones that can destroy the stability of the world if used wrongly. If I remember correctly, these are supposed to be hidden together with each guardians or under the low levels of different tombs.... How did you get it, master?"
The others was even more confused. She just explained everything. But it was with a whole lot of new informations.
"As I thought huh. Are they used to control the core of the world?" Adam asked making Beta to widen her eyes once more.
"I am very much surprised. That's right. It is used to control the core of the world or the world itself."
Ace, Rastus, Sarya and Ludrocis were now very much feeling anxious. One of the reasons for that was because they heard a lot of dangerous stuff just now. And the second one was that these two just explained it as if it's a common knowledge.
"Wait a moment Adam. What do you mean by divine stone? Divinity? And what is this danger she mentioned..?"
"How did the two of you know this even though us being the rulers doesn't have such a knowledge?"
"You also mentioned controlling the world? What does that even mean?"
Rastus, Sarya, and Ludrocis asked in the respective order.
"Hmm... If I have to explain everything, it may take a lot of time. But before deciding that let me ask Beta if it's alright for you guys to know."
Hearing him, Beta said,
"I don't thinking there's any problem. In fact, It would be wise to let them know since we might need their help during the final battle."
Adam also agreed with her. But, both of them knew that the other humans can't do anything to help his group in the battle against someone of demi-god level or higher. But, that doesn't mean they can't fight against mobs.
"Why do you need to ask for your servant's permission to tell us something? We are rulers. We have to know everything for the sake of our people!"
Sarya asked coldly. The others didn't admonish her nor took her side. Adam only squinted his eyes at her while saying,
"That true. You are rulers. You have the right to know everything. But, it is upto me and Beta herself if we want to say anything to you. You think I am going to give you a special treatment just because you are a queen?"
Although he wasn't going to do anything, he wasn't going to let them say whatever they want everytime they meet. So he released a little killing intent.
He excluded Celeste, Resta, Rastus, Ace, and Beta from it. This resulted in all the guards to try to attack him. But they couldn't move. Sarya couldn't move either. He included Ludrocis, but only to let him know the truth about his strength.
"You think you are the centre of the world just because you are a Magic King or Holy Knight..?"
Sarya could only gritt her teeth. 'He's a child you say..?! There's no way that's the truth! He must be a Hidden power from Grania or Aragon! Wait! He said his name is Adam? If I remember correctly that's the name of the genius and youngest sword master in history I heard a few weeks ago..! Could he be already a Holy knight..? Even if that's the case, how can he suppress me like this..?!'
Adam continued,
"I have the strength to finish this whole problem by myself if need be. I didn't invited you here to beg for your assistance. That is my way of showing you the bare minimum of respect. You all will be doing minor tasks anyway. And you asked if I need to ask my servant's permission for something?"
He held back his aura and said,
"Just so you know, within this room, the least important people among us are the rulers as well as their guards. I was not going to reveal it, but it seems humans have became more arrogant these days."
His eyes were cold as he continued, "Forgive me, Rastus, Ace. For your answer, queen sarya, I'll explain the why you need Beta's permission in this problem. But first, I'll tell you a story...."
Thus, he bagan the story of an ancient god and his adventures....
