"If you don"t explain yourself. I"m Bringing this town down along with you."Yelled Eric in both fear and confusion but also rage no doubt.
"I see rage has overcome the Electus" point of judgment."
"How do you know i"m the Electus?"
"Son i can see your Veins from a mile away.
Such a valuable experiment indeed grabbed my attention."
"Don"t call my son an experiment."
"I see where he gets his rage from. First I thought fire has consumed your mind and replaced it with rage. But it seems like your powers are all new to you."
"How could fire consume my mind?"
Asked Mogranius this time. Not like he wanted to make things all about him but she is talking about Fire Controllers after all.
"Put that s.h.i.+eld down. If i wanted to fight i would of come to the surface and end you long ago. I"m here to warn you of great approaching threat."
"What can be a bigger threat than the ill.u.s.tratios? They are a plague on this land."
"The ill.u.s.tratios are nothing but ants compared to the dangers as big as a t.i.tan.o.boa.
I hope Betzy didn"t cause you trouble by the way. She is a sweetheart but she doesn"t like to be woken up from her sleep."
"Okay. You"re a psychopath. Will you at least tell us about this upcoming threat?"
Said Stefan bravely(hiding behind Commander Alia).
"Let me start from the beginning. I"m certain all of you are aware of the 8 sources.
Each source granting as you humans call "Magical Powers" to Commoners.
The sources indeed Granted humans, powers. But it isn"t Magic. It"s just pure natural powers coming from your own genes.
To put it in detail, the 8 continents are powered by 8 Demons."
"So the sources i"ve been wors.h.i.+pping ever since birth as I recall. Are demons?"
Said Mogranius in grief.
"I did say. These Demons are one of the Smartest. They are of my kind but they are more powerful.
They aren"t the stereotypical Demons who Torture Humans in h.e.l.l.
They are actually quite kind hearted. I mean they chose to fuel Continents so people don"t die. They could have abandoned all of you.
I"ve lead all 8 of them. Only 9 of us came from h.e.l.l."
"Alright this is getting very confusing. Which says a lot because i am a Kastarian."
Said Commander Alia while ma.s.saging the left side of her head.
"A Kastarian. Beautiful experiment. How did you survive the great collapse?"
"You know about that?"
"indeed!"
"I was near the ocean. So I managed to escape before disaster killed me.
How did Kastaria just vanish like that?"
"That"s why I called you here. Great threat approaches. You think that a 15 foot hole just appeared overnight? Betzy broke to the surface."
"I officially have a phobia towards any snake now!"
Added Stefan.
"However. Let"s start from how you people got your powers.
See when we came to this earth with a mission to turn Ignis into another version of h.e.l.l. And I mean that as literal as possible.
But we meant good. We saw the constant conflict on earth and tried to turn all the people, in to modified Demons.
Specifically, Peaceful Demons."
"Peaceful Demons. That"s something you don"t hear everyday."
Said Mogranius in sarcasm(it"s just who he is).
"As odd as it sounds, it was an aim. But we did figure out that there is no way to turn the people here in to peaceful beings using Experiments. But of course we did figure that out after countless experiments.
We kidnapped people and made them drink blood from the 8 Sorts of Demons.
Much like the people on earth, we demons have 8 sorts of powers as well."
"This continues to get more confusing. But I am oddly eager."
Said Woldemir.
"I know. But it will make sense once you hear the whole story.
Since Cannibalism wasn"t a thing in h.e.l.l, we didn"t know that drinking demon blood gives the consumer, powers.
It didn"t turn the people in to demons but gave them powers instead.
But every power came with consequences."
"Consequences like?"
Asked Commander Alia.
"It didn"t turn the people into demons but the powers became part of the people. As if they were born with it. Powers were part of the genes after it.
It was rather a blessing, but the downside to it was the fact that every one who gained powers, had inner demons to beat.
Those demons will constantly try to consume your mind based with what the powers come with."
"So you mean every demon is different based on the power?"
Asked Stefan in curiosity. He seems to be the only one catching on."
The lady stood up. Even though being quite old, her black skin added complexion to her beauty. Her purely white hair added more beauty. Her youthful face made her look like an evil 23 year old with daddy issues but no doubt beautiful.
And the demonic horns above her head made her look even better.
She started talking again while walking around the Fire s.h.i.+eld
"Lava Controlling for example, granted by the Demon of patience, named Zirinisen.
Comes with the inner demon that tries to consume your patience.
Lava Controllers can burn you alive with their ability. Not to mention the Calidum Lutum can kill you without it easily.
Having patience to not destroy an opponent right away is a test every lava controller had to face. Including the nasty little Blue Goblins. That was the biggest failed experiment we faced."
"Yes. No doubt about that. After the ill.u.s.tratios they were the second plague on Ignis
What about the Fire Controllers?"
Asked Mogranius.
"Fire Controlling is a power granted by the Demon of Rage.
Having faced a lot of rage control until beating her own inner demon, she was eligible to grant blood to the experiments, like the rest of the 8 who beat their own Demon.
Alasteren is the Demon of rage. Fire controllers have rage to face.
You, old man. Curiosity for knowledge has overcome your rage and you conquered your inner demon long ago.
She stopped for a moment added with a serious, less psychopatic tone
"This kid though, rage started consuming him too soon."
