Chapter 2935: The Invasion on Olympus I
The coronation of the First Queen of Alfheim was a success and the Barrier of Isolation stood strong. Adrian returned back to Avalon as he has already done every task that needs to be done in Alfheim. He is currently in the guild house looking at the Sigil of the Elements. He is wondering how such an artifact came to be as it is more of a vessel rather than one entity.
Creation Relics for different races tend to be created from natural phenomena that is tied to the origin of their race. The Human Race does not have a creation relic as they were the natural result of evolution and devolution of some ancient races. You could say that the Human Race in Pandemonium is the result of all bloodlines of races coming together to create them hence they can specialize in anything.
The ancient races like those of the Asmodians are born from natural phenomena. The Jotunn was formed when the stars were formed hence their creation relic is called Starforged Elementum. The Selvaggian are born from freedom and savagery hence their creation relic is called the Wilde Heart. The creation relic of the Faekin is called the Heart of the Forest because they came with nature.
The creation relic of the Erebian race called the Dark Moon represents the darkness where they sprung up from. The Eye of Chaos also represents the Daemos as they were born from the chaotic energy of the universe. The names of the creation relics for the Asmodians are merely what they are canonically called because their real names are in a tongue that no one speaks anymore.
This is the reason why Adrian cannot believe that the creation relic for the Elementals is just a vessel for the real Essence of the Elements which are now attached to the new Mother Tree. You can even say that the Mother Tree is now the new creation relic for the elementals because it has absorbed and refined the creation energy for elementals. The thing on Adrian’s hands is merely an object that can contain energy.
"Still, in order to hold those elements without having collided with each other or explode means that the craftsmanship of this item predates the new gods. It must have been made by the oldest of the gods of craftsmanship. I can ask someone that is as old as the gods but lives in the body of demigod." Adrian stated as he is about to get up and leave but Awraka suddenly emerged from the shadows.
"Guild leader, we have news to deliver to you that might be crucial." Awraka stated as the other members of the Shadow Corps also came out of the shadows.
"If you are showing up to me instead of sending a report, then it might be important." Adrian stated.
"Yes. It seems that a large horde of monsters are now charging towards Olympus as they are planning an invasion. The leaders of the invasion is a coalition of demigod level monsters and some even attained divine beast level." Awraka reported.
"Oh! If that is the case then that is not really important." Adrian casually replied which made Awraka and the other Shadow Corps member wonder if their guild leader is downplaying it.
"I know that they are not attacking our territory but we should still remain vigilant and need to watch it. Olympus is one of the few divine realms that have slightly fused with the world. The world itself did not reject them like it did with Asgard." Awraka added.
"The world did not refuse because it does not dare and those gods there have no interest of invasion in the main world. It is also the reason why the Daemos does not even bother giving them a warning because they did a proper procedure in summoning their divine realm in the mortal realm. If Asgard was at least as courteous as the methods of Olympus, then they might not have been wiped out." Adrian stated bluntly which shocked the Shadow Corps members as they did not expect that was actually the case.
"It seems that I have learned something from the guild leader again. Thank you for the insights but are is it fine to just let the monster horde be." Awraka stated.
"I do not know who got into those monster’s heads that they think that they can invade Olympus but they will just be pitifully wiped out. The Gods of Olympus are not ones to be trifled with even though some of them have attitude problems and are sometimes morally grey. They are the gods that brought down their predecessor which are the Titans." Adrian stated.
"Titans? There are no records of there ever being Titans in Pandemonium." Awraka stated as she knows that there are no snippets of lore in there.
"The reason for that is due to the fact that their leader became mad and also turned the other titans mad. The Titans were the first children born from the Goddess of Life Gaea. The Church of Life erased that story as that was a disgrace since the Titans ravaged the mortals and even started eating them for pleasure.
It was something erased from the annals of the Church of Life. Still, it does not mean that the Shadow Corps will not observe something there. I think there should be some beings there that need to be investigated. If you know what I mean." Adrian replied.
"If that is the case then!" Awraka exclaimed as she finally pieced it together.
"Are you saying that the Titans might have been the true mastermind behind this invasion?" Awraka asked.
"It might be a possibility because monsters banding together is not something that happens easily. This only happened on two occasions back then and one of them was when the Titanomachy occurred. The Titans rallied the monsters as their slaves and foot soldiers as the gods rallied their human followers." Adrian stated as this might be something worth looking into.
