Shang finished explaining the World Connection to Queen Primordium, but instead of continuing to explain Void Break, Shang paused. "Do you have any thoughts of a natural progression from that point onward?" he asked. Queen Primordium absentmindedly played with her hair. "It's difficult," she said. "There is a certain feeling to World Connection, but I am uncertain of the normal route to get there." "I'm also trying to think of a good way by taking your Path into account." "There are two things I am…-

"I would like for you to be my teacher," Shang said. Queen Primordium furrowed her brows. "I think Amarius would be a better choice." "No. I think that becoming his student will even slow me down," Shang said. Queen Primordium raised an eyebrow. "And why would that be?" "Because he would want me to do things that I don't want to do," Shang said. "Which are?" Queen Primordium asked. Silence. "Make friends," Shang said. "Find a companion. Stuff like that." Queen Primordium just looked at Shang with…

The body hovering in front of Queen Primordium changed again. This time, it showed a woman with grey hair and- woah! Her clothing was very… tight and revealing, which was quite unusual. After all, nearly every Mage wore robes of some kind most of the time. Sure, there were some Mages with slightly more revealing robes, but it wasn't as crazy as this! The woman in front of Shang probably only had a quarter of her body covered with black and tight leather. Sure, on Earth, it wasn't exactly uncommon to…

Just like the last time Shang had seen her, she had silver hair and wore casual purple robes, which Shang now recognized as the standard uniform for members of the Lightning Manor. Naturally, people of higher ranks didn't need to wear them, but Sparks were often encouraged to. "Sarah, the Starlight Queen," Queen Primordium said. "She's the youngest member amongst our Mage Kings, but she has already overtaken two others. Although, that isn't very difficult." "She focuses mostly on Lightning and Space for…

After seeing Queen Primordium, Shang understood why she constantly kept herself hidden from Spirit Senses. 'She probably receives a lot of looks,' Shang thought. Queen Primordium had luscious and long azure hair, making it rather obvious that she originally had a Water Affinity. The remaining parts of her body also very adequately demonstrated the relation between water and life. In short, her natural appearance was very attractive. However, she certainly didn't dress that way. Right now, she wore long…

The Custodian came out of the Lightning Emperor's study and threw a glance at the waiting Shang. "You left quite the positive impression on the Ancestor, Shang," the Custodian said with a polite smile. When Shang heard that, he felt like something was different from before. It wasn't that his status had changed or anything, but that something about the Custodian was different. It was like the Custodian was more… distant? Cold? Off-putting? Something in the way the Custodian was talking or looking…

The Lightning Emperor sighed again, something he had been doing quite a lot in the past minutes. "I assume you know about the lack of Mana?" he asked. Shang nodded. "I was under the assumption that there was only enough Mana left to let one Mage Emperor survive if I want to become a God, and maybe not even that since the Abominations might have consumed even more Mana." The Lightning Emperor nodded solemnly. "That's right, but that's only true when you are not willing to sacrifice a big group of people…

Shang's answer came almost immediately. "Not really," he said. "We never really talked about the Child of Calamity. The few times we talked, we talked about my power and warriors. Could be that he may have mentioned it at some point, but I'm not really sure." The Lightning Emperor only sighed. Shang was telling the truth. Shang honestly wasn't sure if the God had actually ever uttered the phrase Child of Calamity. In fact, the only time Shang remembered talking about something related to that was when…

Several minutes later, the Lightning Emperor told Shang that he had heard enough. By now, it became harder and harder to find rationalizations for Shang suffering from delusions. "And why did he bring you to Aterium?" he asked. "Entertainment," Shang said. "Entertainment?" "Entertainment." "Please elaborate." "He told me that his world is filled with nothing but Mages and that the battles between Mages are the most boring to watch. He said that they just throw Spells at each other for hours at a…

The Lightning Emperor just looked at Shang with an unconvinced expression. "A God that isn't the Mage God," he said in a flat tone. "Correct," Shang answered, "but as I've said, that is no longer my reason for wanting to become stronger." "Why is it no longer your reason?" Shang didn't immediately answer. "It no longer seems that important," he said. "You believe this God is real?" the Lightning Emperor asked. "He is real," Shang answered. The Lightning Emperor took a deep breath. Shang was too…
