Chapter 25 - The 5th ring - The Supreme One, Identity of Unity

As the party explained their quest to Professor Luovizt, he listened intently, his eyes flickering with excitement. "I think I may have just the thing you're looking for," he said finally, his voice low and urgent. "Follow me."

The group trailed behind the old mage as he led them through the sacred library, down a hidden passage, and into the Velsharoon royal academy. As they entered his office, Luovizt gestured for them to take a seat. "I've been studying the ancient texts for many years," he began, his eyes glittering with excitement. "And I believe I may have found the key to unlocking the mystery of the golden coin and the golden identity."

With bated breath, the party leaned in as Luovizt revealed his findings. "It seems that the golden coin and the words spoken by the golden identity are linked to a hidden quest, one that has been lost for centuries." The group gasped in amazement, and Pond leaned forward in his seat, his eyes wide with excitement.

"And what is this quest?" Palm asked eagerly.

"It's known as The 5th ring - The Supreme One, Identity of Unity," Luovizt replied, his voice hushed. "Legend has it that it's an unknown artifact, one that no one in the Xylo world even knows exists. But according to these texts, it's said to be the key to unlocking the power of the Old Gods."

The party sat in stunned silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Finally, Luovizt spoke up again. "I believe that the four Old God rings that you all possess, along with the golden coin, are the key items needed to find The 5th ring."

The group stared at each other in disbelief. "But how do we even begin to find it?" Anastasia asked, her voice trembling with excitement.

"That's where my knowledge of the Velsharoon royal academy comes in handy," Luovizt replied with a grin. "I believe there's a hidden underground passage that connects the sacred library and the academy. It's said that it leads to a secret chamber where the location of The 5th ring is hidden."

The group couldn't contain their excitement as they thanked Luovizt and made their way to the underground passage. As they walked, they couldn't help but crack a few jokes and make light of the situation. "I hope we don't run into any giant rats down here," Pim quipped with a chuckle.

"Or worse, a hidden trap that sends us hurtling into a bottomless pit," Kate added with a grin.

But as they entered the secret chamber, their jokes faded away as they gazed in awe at the sight before them. In the center of the room sat a glowing, pulsing orb, surrounded by the five rings. "This is it," Pond whispered in amazement. "The 5th ring - The Supreme One, Identity of Unity."

As the party followed Professor Luovizt through the secret underground passage that connected the Velsharoon sacred library and Velsharoon royal academy, they couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building inside of them. The professor had just revealed to them the existence of The 5th Ring, an artifact that was unknown to all in the Xylo world.

After several minutes of walking in silence, Professor Luovizt suddenly stopped in front of a nondescript section of the wall. "This is where the secret chamber is located," he said, gesturing towards the wall. "But only the owner of the golden coin can find the entrance."

Pond stepped forward and took out the golden coin from his pocket. He examined it closely, looking for any clues or markings that could lead them to the entrance. Suddenly, he noticed that one of the engravings on the coin seemed to be glowing slightly. "Guys, I think I found something!" he exclaimed.

The party gathered around Pond as he placed the coin against the wall, where the glowing engraving seemed to match up perfectly with a spot on the wall. Suddenly, the wall began to shift and move, revealing a hidden doorway that led to a narrow staircase.

Excitedly, the party followed the staircase down into the secret chamber, where they were met with a sight that took their breath away. The chamber was filled with ancient artifacts and treasures, including a pedestal that held a ring with an unknown symbol etched onto it.

As they approached the pedestal, the ring began to glow, and suddenly all four of the old god rings on their fingers began to vibrate and emit a humming sound. The party realized that they had finally found The 5th Ring - The Supreme One, Identity of Unity.

"I can't believe we actually found it," Palm exclaimed, staring in awe at the mysterious ring. "What does this mean for us?"

"We still have a lot to learn about this artifact and what it can do," Professor Luovizt said. "But one thing is for sure - the old gods and the new order will never be the same again."

The party couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building inside of them. They had uncovered a secret that could change the course of history in Xylo forever.

Excitement filled the air as the party followed Pim towards the secret chamber. The dimly lit underground passage was eerie, and they could hear the sound of water dripping from the damp walls. "This is like something out of a horror movie," Palm whispered nervously.

As they walked, Pim examined the golden coin closely, searching for any clues. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks and looked up. "Guys, I think I found it!" she exclaimed. The others looked up to see a small, hidden alcove in the ceiling that was barely visible. Pim placed the golden coin into a small slot in the wall, and the alcove slowly opened, revealing a spiral staircase leading downwards.

Descending the stairs, they arrived at a hidden chamber. The chamber was filled with various relics and artifacts, but what caught their attention was a pedestal in the center of the room, with an unknown ring resting on top of it. "This must be it," Pond said, staring at the ring in awe.

The party took turns trying to pick up the ring, but no one was successful. The glowing red symbol that appeared upon their failed attempts indicated that they were not allowed to touch the power of The Supreme One. Professor Luovizt read the symbol, and his face fell. "It seems we have reached a dead end," he said.

But then, to everyone's surprise, Pim picked up the ring with ease. Palm joked that the system probably still considered her an NPC or a beast. "Try it on," Pond said to Pim. As she put on the ring, the chamber was filled with a bright golden light, and golden Xylorian symbols appeared all over the walls. Professor Luovizt read the symbols and announced that they translated to "The Old God souls reunited, they reincarnated into The Supreme One."

Everyone was shocked by this revelation. "Does this mean that the Old God and the Supreme One of the New Order were the same identity?" Professor Luovizt asked. As Pim tried to use the ring's power, her body was covered by a bright golden aura, and no servant beasts were summoned. "Wow, Pim, you've activated your super Saiyan mode!" Xiao Ming joked.

The party was amazed by the power of The Supreme One, and they wondered what other secrets the Xylo world held. With their new knowledge, they set out to continue their quest to save the world from the darkness that threatened to consume it.

As they back to Professor Luovizt room, Pond spoke up, "So, what do we do with this information? And what about the other rings?"

Professor Luovizt responded, "I believe the four Old God rings and the golden coin are still important pieces of the puzzle. They may be necessary to unlock the full potential of the Supreme One ring."

Anastasia added, "But we still don't know what kind of power the Supreme One ring holds. We need to figure out how to use it to our advantage."

Pim interjected, "Maybe the ring is just a symbol of unity. A way for all of us to work together and combine our strengths."

Xiao Ming chimed in, "Yeah, like a superhero team or something. The Xylo Avengers!"

Palm rolled her eyes at Xiao Ming's joke but couldn't help smiling. "We should focus on finding more information about the ring and what it can do."

Professor Luovizt nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must be cautious with such power. It could easily fall into the wrong hands and bring about destruction."

Pond spoke up, "We should keep searching for clues and information. Who knows what else we may discover?"

Professor Luovizt stroked his beard thoughtfully and said, "If what we've discovered is true, then this information could change everything we know about the history of Xylo. It's possible that the Old God and the Supreme One of the New Order were the same being all along, and that we've been worshipping two sides of the same coin. This discovery could have far-reaching implications for the world of magic and the balance of power in Xylo."

He looked at the party seriously and continued, "We must be careful with this information. We don't know what kind of reaction it could elicit from different factions in Xylo. I will report this to the Mages Council and we'll proceed from there. It's important that we keep this discovery under wraps until we have more information and a better understanding of its implications."

Pond nodded gravely, "We understand, Professor. We'll keep this information confidential and only share it with those we trust. It's too big a discovery to share carelessly."

Anastasia chimed in, "It's like a bombshell waiting to explode. Who knows what kind of reactions it could elicit from those who are deeply invested in the worship of the Old God or the New Order? We need to be careful and tread lightly."

Pim added, "It's amazing to think that we could be holding the key to unlocking the true identity of the Old God and the Supreme One of the New Order. This is the kind of discovery that could change everything."

The party looked at each other thoughtfully, realizing that they had stumbled upon something truly monumental. They knew that they had to be careful and tread lightly, but they couldn't help feeling excited about the possibilities that lay ahead.
