1393 Great Secret
Varian took out two silver spinning objects that would oscillate between being a cylinder and a disc. They were always in a state of flux, moving between the two forms.
Floating in the air above them, the two items gave off an oppressive feeling, showcasing themselves off as items that shouldn't be messed with.
As soon as they appeared, the small friction in the group disappeared and all focus went onto them.
"A super-storage disc?" Sarah was the first to voice out her opinion, though she sounded almost sure of herself.
"My soul power is obstructed from striking in. But I can make out…information? Is this some secret document?" Sia was next.
"…" Enigma shrugged casually and when there was an awkward silence, habitually reached to her storage ring for a book.
"Later." Varian pinched her cheeks and her hand froze.
Blushing slightly, she lowered her head like a meek sheep.
"…"
"…"
Sarah and Sia gawked at this ridiculous exchange.
'Excuse us, Mr. Husband? We're the ones who made the effort to answer and she gets the treat? Do you really want to be locked up in the basement?'
Feeling the two stinging gazes, Varian rubbed their heads without changing any expression. "Good job, you two. You both got it right."
"Hmm~ I saw something like that in the legacy."
"I don't even need a legacy, hehehe~"
As the two angry cats melted, Varian felt Isadora looking at him.
"What? You didn't even bother to speak. No cookies for you."
"Are you seriously implying that I enjoy any physical contact with you?"
"Yes."
"Shut up!"
Shrugging it off, he started to tamper with the device, to try activate it.
Wherever he touched it, there were black ripples from that point of contact. And slowly, patches of black began to appear on the item. That wasn't all. These patches began to expand and once they came into contact with other patches, their expansion accelerated
"Looks like a security mechanism!" Sarah exclaimed. "If it all turns, then the information would be deleted."
"I think this thing has a password. You know it?"
"No clue. I just stole it from the lab." Varian tried to inject his aura and when it didn't work, tried using different powers to open it up.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem." Isadora coughed lightly, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes. "I think someone here knows how to open that device. But she's sulking. If you ask nicely, maybe, just maybe, she can he—."
Without even waiting for her to finish, Varian began. "The beauty who mesmerized the Pala kingdom, the princess who wrote unattainable legends, the lady who stood at the top of the kingdom, I beseech thee, grace us with your noble help and add one more jewel to your crown. This humble handsome man will always be grateful for the help of her highness."
"…"
Isadora knew he was shameless but come on, he didn't even hesitate! And looking at his smug face, it was as if those embarassing words didn't have any effect on him.
Cursing at his thick skin, she grabbed the device and poured her aura in. With a few clicks, the device stabilized in its disc form and a rainbow appeared over it.
"Touch the rainbow and the information stored in it will be transformed to you." Saying so, she put her hand over the rainbow.
Her eyelashes trembled and her breath grew rough. Her expression grew disturbed and confused. With blank eyes, she sat there in absolute silence.
Worried but curious, the three wives also stretched their hands.
Varian took a breath but let them proceed.
"Let's see what's the big secret."
[The Perfect Hybrid: Hypotheses of Origins, Slivers and Stability For Existence]
There was a lot of information. If it had to be printed on a book, even a hundred wouldn't be enough. And this was on the condition that every single point was crucial, skipping a single line would lead to holes in the overall picture.
But thanks to his powers, Varian was able to process the information in a few seconds.
Firstly, this laboratory only participated and helped the main laboratory. So, neither did they have all the information nor the authority to store everything they knew.
What's stored might be considered basic from a purely objective standpoint. But even that was so secretive that it's kept in the highest facility of the lab, alongside the secrets of Palarians and theories about the Universe's Creator.
There was too much technical content put forward by the researchers and too many complex calculations.
Taking them all out and leaving behind only the non-technical but essential stuff, Varian summarized the findings.
[The God Emperor is approaching the final rank with every passing century.
His ascension, slowed by unknown reasons, is not an unreasonable fear of the Alliance but a certainty that's bound to be happen one day. That day will be the end of Alliance and every being living in it.
There has to be a solution to this great evil. A power that can stand up against the strongest living being.
No leaders of the Alliance had any real confidence. Demon of Order, Aphosis, put it aptly.
"It is easier to make an untalented person a enter divine ranks than to expect the existing leaders to reach a level closer to the God Emperor.
The gap between them, even though they were all in the same 'rank' to speak of, is enormous. It's as if they were in two entirely different realms."]
Varian's heart constricted as he read the title of that man. He could feel it. The stronger he grew, the closer their fates were growing.
Even though it sounded absurd, he could almost feel it. His fate was on a direct collision course with this man, whether he liked it or not.
And he feared…this man also knew that.
[As difficult as the situation is, giving up isn't an answer.
Keeper Equilus managed to bring together everyone onboard and proposed a ground breaking project.
The Perfect Hybrid.
Bestowed with the power of three avenues, she will grow to be be the perfect vessel of the Immortal.
Her usage will lead to the end the God Emperor's reign and victory of the Alliance.]
Varian's eyes narrowed.
