1541 Its True Greatness
Holy Core! Holy Core! Holy Core!
Inwardly, many were chanting like children.
The going was like heavenly music to their ears.
All this time, they had been waiting for the Holy Core to be safely transported from its resting place in the well-secured research Academy to this hall.
As many would know, amongst all the various types of Morg academies, the one thing they had in common was their structural arrangements.
In these academies, there were prohibited zones only privileged by T.O.E.P members of certain ranks.
It was safe to say these places were guarded as though all the treasures in the world were found in them.
Some even joked that it would be easier to infiltrate the Morg royal palaces than to attempt sneaking into these places.
F***!
It was even better to try sneaking into Adonis' capital city than doing such a suicidal job.
Even the royals worked hand in hand with everyone else to keep these places safe.
So many preferred the Holy core slept in the research facilities than in the palace or any other private site. And the royals couldn't agree less.
This was for Morgany's future as a whole.
That was how safe the place was.
.
The gong went off, and in a blink of an eye, over 200 guards stormed into the open space below with massive sabers and weapons of the highest grade.
It looks like even till now, these guards were willing to die to protect the Holy Core from any who tried destroying it here.
Though it was doubtful and near-impossible, maybe a death-assassin or spy would have infiltrated the space.
Archers circled the open space, and swordsmen stood in formation, though not too close to and not too far from the core.
Luckily, the viewing booths were at least 2 floors higher than the ground floor. So everyone didn't have to worry about these people blocking their view of the core.
Alright.
The guards were in place, and the Holy Core was now pushed out on a table with small wooden wheels at the bottom.
The Holy Core was covered with several dark fabrics of the highest qualities. Yet, this much wasn't enough to cover its glistening shine.
And all that was missing was heavenly music to this grand reveal.
~LAAAAAA~~~~
So radiant...
(°∆°)
Whether it was Crane, Zain, Kavien, or anyone else, they subconsciously leaned forward, staring at the covered object that needed over 30 people to push it in.
Yes!
It was standing on a modified wheelable table made very thick to carry its weight.
According to the reports from those who went ahead of the transporting team, the description of how the Core's height had pulled them down during extraction made Morgany prepare for its weight.
It's said no less than 5,000 people had gathered to pull an ordinary boulder-sized rock out of the volcano.
The letters painted a very fantasy-like image in their heads, making them understand just how Godly this core was.
But again, after the core was extracted from the volcano, it's said its weight wasn't as heavy as before... Though when they arrived on the coastal shores of Morgany, they had to ask the wagon makers there to create a special wagon to transport the stone.
The wagon was far thicker than usual, with reinforced wheels.
And the number of horses pulling the wagons was no more than 14.
With the information they received, they created the perfect wheelable tables for the core to stand on.
If placed on any ordinary table, the more would break it instantly.
.
Everyone stared at the incoming air, swallowing their built-up saliva.
And soon enough, the hist took to the stage when everyone was almost dying from impatience.
Good God, man... Just reveal it already!!!
(>*π*)
The host wore a knowing smile on his face.
"Gentlemen... We are glad--"
~Boom!
Someone broke something in their booth.
"Hurry it up, or you die!!!"
"..."
Erm... Wasn't it against the rules to threaten the host?
If it were another day, someone would stand up and put order to the scene.
But today, even his majesty Kavien wished to kill that bloody host below.
"Holy Core! Holy Core! Holy Core!"
Someone stopped their mallets on the tables in their booths, and everyone joined in, chanting the words [Holy Core] nonstop.
And at this point, the host didn't dare to speak anymore.
With a single flick of his wrist, those surrounding the table carefully removed the many layers of dark fabric covering the sacred stone.
1 layer off, 2 layers off...
Everyone watched the Holy Core underwear with glistening interest.
And with every layer off, the part of the light emitting from the stone was also revealed.
And soon, the crowd came face to face with the magnificent massive glowing shoulder.
All rise!...
Everyone stood with their jaws to the ground and their eyes falling out of their sockets.
It was... It was...
"Beautiful." Someone murmured, finding themselves drawn to the godly stone.
It was hard to describe, but the time had a strange and powerful air about it that made It hard for anyone to peel their eyes off the scene.
Good heavens!
Even from where they stood, they could feel the raw and powerful energy emitting from its glorious shell.
Plop!~
Someone went down on their knees in shock.
"The Holy Core of legend... It's finally here..."
(:TQT:)
Good!... Good... Wonderful!
In the massive hall with prominent men who all have their ways of knowing information, everyone had more or less heard of this Holy Core's history, though briefly.
There wasn't much to go in with. But from the few texts that survived, they knew this Holy Core was a thing that could topple all powers in the world.
They didn't know how to use it exactly, but wasn't that why they had assigned researchers and others to work on it?
Kavian stood majestically.
"Gentlemen... We have the Holy Core! So now, we can begin our long prepared plans for world domination!!"
