Chapter 1895 Olympus Clan
"For some matters, the first Ancestor is sometimes the most powerful. However, in the case of the strongest races of an Era, the first Ancestor is only the beginning.
"The first Angel born was a Heaven"s Angel. Their birth greatly changed what we believed could be possible with qi. At first, it was the belief that we would be able to use qi to carve out a piece of existence for ourselves and make the t.i.tans feel apprehensive… But now we felt that even defeating the t.i.tans was possible, even eradicating them all and ridding the Mortal Plane of their scourge might become a reality!
"Soon after the Heaven"s Angel, another birth of angels occurred, and the h.e.l.l"s Angel was born! These individuals s.n.a.t.c.hed some of the abilities of the t.i.tans for themselves, using qi to replicate their strengths and build strong bodies for themselves.
"If the Heaven"s Angel gave us hope, the h.e.l.l"s Angel gave us arrogance. It gave us the confidence to realize that what the t.i.tans could do, we could do as well!
"This swelling of public content led to the third ma.s.sive discovery, and likely the discovery that led us to victory in those times… Faith!
"As our comprehension of qi deepened, we began to delve into the mysteries of the world. We were far more qualified to do so than the t.i.tans who lost their minds to their own strength.
"We soon realized that there was a mysterious type qi that we could sense, but no one seemed capable of wielding. After countless years of research and barely hanging on against the t.i.tan a.s.sault, we discovered Faith. Not only did we discover it, but we came to comprehend just how to wield it!
"We ourselves aren"t capable of wielding Faith. However, if we used the Heavens as a medium, not only would wielding this mysterious strength become as easy as breathing, but it could even give an individual who hadn"t cultivated a single day in their lives strength beyond their imagining!
"However, what we needed was time.
"Finding these mediums of Heaven was too difficult. Universe Spirits would often hide, and sometimes would even move locations depending on the fluctuations of energy within their domains. Since the science was still in its infancy, many of our ancestors failed many times more than they succeeded.
"Still, even these small successes slowly began to add up. Those who could wield Faith grew, and our battle against the t.i.tans became more and more even before there eventually came a day where it was we who oppressed them!
"However, it just wasn"t enough. When the t.i.tans realized they were truly on the brink of destruction, they finally set their arrogance aside and came together as one. What humanity most feared had come to fruition.
"All of our so-called victories were the product of the t.i.tans being as loose as sand. They had no unity, no cohesion. But in an instant, all of this changed. Under danger of being eradicated, they banded together.
"At this point, maybe the best choice would have been to pull back. After all, in the end, weren"t we all humans? Our stories were strikingly similar. Out of the desire for survival, to make something better of ourselves, we broke through the locks on our potential and ascended the Heavens. Was there a need to fight?"
Dyon sighed along with the Emperor Giant. If only humans blinded by greed and power could see so far.
On one side, there were the t.i.tans who were unwilling to give up the strength they had gained. On the other, there were the Angels who had finally gotten a taste of power themselves.
Would any of them truly stop?
"Unfortunately, none of this mattered. The beasts had long become relics of the past, and all we could see were the enemies before us.
"As one might expect, the t.i.tans kept their advantage. The ground the Angels had gained was quickly lost. Finding Universe Spirits was simply too difficult!
"However, for better, or for worse, when it mattered most, the Angels broke through once again…
"… This time, the Wings of Blessings were born!"
Dyon"s eyes narrowed.
"This time, the matter wasn"t so simple at all. This time, the Ancestor had a name that was remembered through the generations.
"The first Golden Winged Angel born was known by all! His name was Zeus of the Olympus Clan!"
A tremor rippled through Dyon"s body.
This time he had felt it. It couldn"t have been more real, that apprehension in his heart.
He had realized long ago that the legends of his Mortal Clan were actually ripples of Faith surviving across s.p.a.ce and time. But this was the very first time he felt this reality so profoundly.
A battle between the t.i.tans and Olympus? Maybe if he was still that eight-year-old boy from so many years ago, he would find this to just be a fascinating story to listen to. After all, which mortal child hadn"t been regaled with the tales of the Greek G.o.ds of old?
However, this time, something felt different.
Though Dyon"s body hadn"t transcended, in a sense, his soul had done so in part. Before, he wasn"t qualified to feel this ripple, but now, it resounded in his mind that a fiercely ringing bell.
Olympus Clan! Just what kind of existence were they?
"The Olympus Clan, under the leadership of Zeus, led us all. With the birth of the Wings of Blessings, Angels suddenly gained the ability to evolve.
"From Angels, we became the Virtuous, mighty two-winged angels. From the Virtuous, we became the Archangels, mighty three-winged angels. From the Archangels, we became Thrones, mighty four-winged angels. From the Thrones we became the Cherubim, mighty five-winged angels. And from the Cherubs we became the ultimate existence amongst angels… The Seraphim! Mighty six-winged angels!
"This didn"t all happen at once, but Zeus" speed of improvement was mind boggling. He seemed to have talent that overshadowed all those existence. It wasn"t until a second of his kind appeared that we realized came to understand that his talent wasn"t normal thanks to a gift by the Heavens…
"Zeus was the first wielder of the legendary Ancient Const.i.tution! … He was also known as…"
BOOM!
