"The reason is simple... Do you remember that I made mention of the fact that after the war with The Gatherers, the three remaining World Wills lost half of the ether reserves in our ether cores?" She questioned me.
"Yes , I remember " I replied, causing her regal voice to resound once more.
"Very well, the use of ether for further evolution is only possible for the awakened, after the mutation ,as a result of the evolution code we, The Planetary Wills infuse in their cells ,occurs . It is safe to say that the mutation , makes the cells of the awakened compatible with absorption of ether for further evolution of their cells, the only factor determining their limit of evolution , their limited talent grade ..... Of course, you have an unlimited talent grade, so your evolution can never be limited..
The Ether ,sponsoring the evolution of the awakened, is channeled into the environment of each of the three worlds respectively from the ether cores of the Planetary Wills. Due to the limited supply of ether I have left, what do you think would happen if I were to cause everyone in the Human World to become an awakened ?"
I pondered her question quietly for a while then gave a response "There would be extremely high number of awakened individuals competing for the small amount of ether constantly supplied by you, leading to ether scarcity, further hampering the growth and evolution of the awakened ?"
She seemed unfazed by my sharp intellect as she replied nonchalently "Right on the mark. Also, the barrier that prevents anyone from traversing the boundaries of this world was architected after the war with The Gatherers 1000 years ago by me to hide the location of the world for a while from the eyes of The Gatherers, were they to suddenly appear to launch a counter attack on this world. This barrier is also kept in place by some of my ether ... However over the ravages of time, the barrier has kept weakening and thinning ,as my ether reserves are being constantly monopolised by the awakened too.. . in fact the condition I'm lamenting over is paramount to each of the three worlds... We are running out of time...
There is also the issue of the diabolic beasts on the three worlds...(sighs )
These are creatures with a natural constitution for ether absorption and evolution... Unlike the awakened, we did not trigger a sequence of mutation in diabolic beasts,as they were not the focus of our projects but rather the humans, elves and dwarves on the human ,elven and dwarves worlds respectively.
However, right when we started to supply ether into the environment for the growth and further evolution of the awakened (Author's note : The awakened are the ones who mutated as a result of the evolutionary code the Planetary Wills planted in their cells.. See previous chapter if confused.. ) the beasts too, naturally started to evolve as a result of the supply of ether due to their natural ability to absorb the ether in the environment .
With all these situations leading to an already high demand of ether from our ether cores , there is so much pressure on our ether already, how then can we afford to make everyone awakened ?... Also, according to the principles of probability and chance , do you not think that if there were others like you , based on our randomized sampling of babies to make them awakened since the time period of the last 1000 years till now, a number of them would have already appeared in decades past?... "
I stood there silently, pondering over her words ... then I politely responded " I understand perfectly "..
I had come to an understanding of so many things today... Things that even the hegemons of the human world could not fathom to unravel...
I did not know how long I had been in this space... However I had one last question for the World Will... I needed the location and owner of the Dark Cloud Organisation...If the World Will of the human world could not help me, then who else could help me?
"Can you tell me anything about the Dark Cloud Organization ?" I asked...
"The Dark Cloud Organisation.. They do not have any connection to The Gatherers if you are wondering... They are just a bunch of sociopaths.. The mastermind behind this Dark organisation is the owner of Maxwell Incooporations, Hugho Maxwell....Permanently mirroring his affinity is the key to defeating him..." She paused for a few seconds before she resumed conversation with me before I got the chance to even process the shocking information concerning the leader of the Dark Cloud Organisation that she had just revealed to me.
"When the time is right, we will make contact again... Increase your strength as much as possible.. Oh , and here is a gift for you "
Before I had the chance to process the shock of the revelation that came out of her mouth, she stretched her arms, causing wisps of white light to coalesce into a black suit armor adorned with intricate patterns... A long sword with a black handle and a transparent blade shimmering with a reflective hue accompanied the already floating suit armor...
The black suit armor disappeared along with me
.... and the next thing I realized I was in my room again...
"What...?... was that all a dream....?..." I muttered ,my shock palpable, my breathing... ragged...
However the revelation of the black suit armor and the beautiful long sword floating before me in the room wiped away every trace of doubt concerning the unprecedented encounter I had come out a few seconds prior...
I quickly came to terms with the fact that everything I had heard and the encounter I had come out of was real, and not some dream or some sort of hallucination....
And for that matter, I had to accelerate my plans of growing stronger.... I was so weak in the grand scheme of things currently... However I knew that given my potential ,it would not take long before I would become a force to be reckoned with...
I proceeded to gather my thoughts ...Sigh..
There were so many things to deal with..
First, I had to figure out who siphoned my parents' money for themselves after their death..Oh yes.. I had not forgotten about that...
I also had to deal with the Slyrax Guild.... I had to also form my own guild..
I had to deal with the Dark Cloud Organisation, the vermins who murdered my parents and a million others..
And most importantly... the fate of three worlds were currently resting on my shoulders.... Ah .. that sounded so cringe..
A satirical sigh proceeded out of my lips as I thought of all these things ..."At this point ,I could have really been a protagonist if this were all some TV show..."..
