Chapter 845 The Scepter of Radiance

"The Scepter of Radiance?!" Sanctus II asked. "I have heard about that treasure before… There are legends saying that it once was held in this city, but was given to someone else… A ruler from one of the confederation cities."

"The God\'s Relics are dangerous items, they hold the divinity of the gods, usually, they\'re left behind in our worlds sealed within dungeons." Sighed the Pharaoh. "We foolishly thought it was a gift from the gods themselves, and used the scepter for our own selfish means, utilizing its endless energy to create larger and larger magical artifacts. Our aim was the skies and the High Heavens, to reach Asgard, the Land of the Gods, and visit them! Alas… such dreams were foolish."

"It just happened one day, as our latest project, the Divine Star Carriage, a large magical artifact we were designing to travel across the stars was about to be finished. Light descended from the skies. A ray of judgement destroyed everything. My people… instantly vaporized. There were no screams, only a blinding light." 

"Those that survived, including me, had done by escaping the surface and digging underground. The light was kept there, and would instantly burn anybody that moved to the surface into ashes…"

"At the end, our divine carriage could never be finished, and we were forced to do the least thing imaginable. Utilizing my subjects magic and life force, they sacrificed themselves to seal me within the pyramid\'s depths. However, it seemed that such a thing did not work as intended. The sealing failed, and the life of my subjects was sacrifice for nothing, as my body slowly decayed, and I became an undead instead of remaining in a state of hibernation."

"And so… we come here now, after having been controlled by those Vampires, as you call them, we are here… Now that I\'ve been given a second chance thanks to the sacrifices of my subjects and master\'s benevolence, I wish to finish the Divine Star Carriage and reach Asgard, so I can make those Gods pay for taking away everything precious to me. I know it\'s selfish, some might think it was a deserved punishment for taking the Scepter… But I like to think that others would agree with me."

"It reminds me of what happened to me…" Tear sighed. "Though I was the one controlled by the Crown. It is strange how those gods left those relics behind and then blame us for taking them. Shouldn\'t they had simply destroyed them in that case?"

"Well, they are not really that smart to begin with." I sighed. "And above all, they seem to see mortals as nothing but little ants, its natural in a way, but at the same time, rather wicked. I don\'t know much yet, but I do know that since their conception by the Yggdrasil Tree that the Gods had been waging wars for supremacy, Odin is the most selfish and greedy of all the Gods. He battled Ymir and the Titans to reclaim the world for themselves, and by doing so, it ended splitting apart and merging together into what it is now. Now, he\'s going after Hel, Loki, and everyone else standing on his way. He might be aiming to attain something greater through the Evil God Fragments, and that might also be the reason why the Empire of Light is using the fragments to such an extent."

"The Evil God… Odin… Ugh, this conversation quickly became very overwhelming. Are you guys really… into that sort of thing? Ah, well, you\'re our saviors but…" Sanctus II was rather nervous.

"Don\'t worry, we will not bring the war against the Gods to these lands." Lucifer sighed, crossing his arms. "Don\'t worry about a thing, foolish human. We\'ll be leaving soon, probably to never return."

"Ugh, do you have to be so edgy about it?" I facepalmed. "We might return sometimes to trade materials and spices! But yeah, what he said… Don\'t worry."

"Phew…"

Several of the nobles present in the conversation, who were just as overwhelmed by the entire chat sighed in relief. Once we finished our big meal, we moved our conversation to a more private area, knowing that Sanctus II and the rest of the nobles didn\'t wanted to dip their toes into such a terrific subject, that might get them divinely punished.

"So we\'ve learned a few things at least, that Scepter is pretty strong, and it could be distributed in the other two cities within Goldsand." I said. "The other thing is… This Divine Star Carriage thing, is it like a spaceship type of thing? Maybe we could use to get to Asgard, because I doubt we\'ll easily get into the skies without getting bolted a thousand times."

"Certainly." Laughed Akhenaton. "From what I remember, we were developing the Carriage within our second and third pyramids, far away from here. It seems that the people that came to the deserts after our fall made their cities around our pyramids, or above them, without realizing it. It must be because our Water-producing Magic Artifacts must have created Oasis, and the Dungeon that our Pyramids became provide with Magic Stones and Monster Materials, which seems to be what drives these cities to some sort of prosperity…"

"Kind of." Catarina shrugged. "It\'s better than… nothing at all, but not really good either. There\'s a lot of corruption. Thankfully, I hope things can be better now in here with Sanctus II."

"He better be, or we\'ll come here to dethrone him once more!" I laughed rather evilly. "Maybe we\'ll get Sanctus III by then…" I squinted my eyes.

"Enough tomfoolery for today…" Lucifer sighed. "I\'ve grown rather tired of this place, should we move on now that we\'ve found what we were looking for?"

"You\'re so hasty… But you\'re right, let\'s depart tomorrow morning." I nodded.
