The Empyreal Gem Master

The wills of the World looked over with a trace of shock.

The only one who was not burning with shock was the massive stature of the Will of Dragoisles, his ancient eyes that had lived for a few 1000 years seeming to recall the image of a creature that once walked on its world all those years ago!

They had just observed someone that without burning extremely Pure Natal Authority- went through the initial understanding of a Covenant, all the way through to complete understanding in what seemed to be the span of an instant!

Yes, the Sacred Gem Engine of Destiny was there to bolster and grant one the infused understanding of that specific Covenant of Nature.

But what this entity had just shown was something that they had never seen in all their collective years.

The Will of Ephesus found itself questioning as it looked towards Alexander.

A creature that lived in its midst all of these years, only now did it begin shining so illustriously.

Beside them, the figure of Ezraela had a complex expression crossing her eyes as within the apathy and understanding, there was a sense of competitiveness as she looked towards Alexander.

But none of these gazes of shock or jealousy or inferiority mattered to the being that became the center of attention at this moment.

His mind only buzzed as he felt the musings of a grand Covenant of Nature flow into his being, and as it did, changes bloomed within his Enneagram! Discover exclusive content at empire

Whenever there was a unique Covenant of Nature or when he hit upon a unique achievement of his existence- whether that was complete understanding of a Covenant of Nature or complete assimilation of one, there were always boons associated with it.

The understanding of other Covenants of Nature did not grant much, but Evolution granted a change. And now, it seemed like this unique understanding of Destiny would do the same.

The Sacred Gem Engine before him had a singular job of infusing understanding directly into one's soul.

With Alexander holding an increased rate of understanding and assimilation, these infusions of understanding were accelerated so much that he grasped the entirety of Destiny in the span of an instant!

His eyes glowed an even grander shade of gold as he felt like he was in a trance.

His Enneagram was spinning rapidly as the almost completed Gem Recipe of the Bonds of the Gold Ruler hummed with wonder and beauty within!

Whatever feature was waking up would be grand as in his trance, Alexander released his hand from the Sacred Gem Engine of Destiny and looked towards the other Sacred Gem Engines.

His figure flickered like a mere blink of golden light as he instantly appeared before a purple Sacred Gem Engine.

It was the Sacred Gem Engine of the Soul!

There were already pure threads of the Covenant of the Soul within him due to the bindings that he took with the Will of Ephesus. But if there was an engine right before him, why would he not grasp its boons right now?

So his hand fell on the Sacred Engine as he felt like he came in contact with a blazing purple sun.

In response, this purple sun radiated its tendrils of pure light into the depths of his being- his Soul lighting up at this moment!

||The initial understanding of the Covenant of the Soul has been obtained.||

||Your understanding of the Covenant of the Soul has reached 100%.||

…!

Two steps.

This was all it took as once more, in the span of an instant, he grasped understanding and then fully understood a Covenant of Nature!

The Soul.

He found his mind buzzing even more along with his Enneagram as musings of the Soul filled his being.

He came to understand that within him, there were actually three major components that made him.

His Soul, his Body, and lastly his Origin.

His Body, he could easily see.

His Soul was his buzzing consciousness that conducted everything that he did, and his Origin seemed to be hidden within the depths of his Enneagram!

A point of singularity where he collected, stored, and ushered in the usage of Authorities.

He felt his Vigor and Energeia spread throughout these three Aspects of his being as at this moment, he felt like his Soul had lit up.

The Enneagram in his chest began to spin with an even greater speed and intensity. The Covenant of the Soul also seemed to be unique as it may just come with its own additional boons.

But once more, Alexander continued to be in a trance as in the next moment, he turned towards the other Sacred Gem Engines.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His figure disappeared once more as this time, he appeared before a brilliant crimson Sacred Gem Engine

His hand once more connected with it as…

||The initial understanding of the Covenant of Blood has been obtained.||

||Your understanding of the Covenant of Blood has reached 100%.||

Blood.

The Covenant of Blood!

Before its musings even fully settled inside of his mind, his body flickered once more as he landed before another Sacred Gem Engine.

This one burned with a different hue of purple as the moment that his hand landed on it, he found his body beginning to burn with purple flames as well.

||The initial understanding of the Covenant of the Body has been obtained.||

||Your understanding of the Covenant of the Body has reached 100%.||

…!

The Covenant of the Body.

After the Soul, this Covenant actually held its musings in a Sacred Gem Engine here as while his body burned with purple flames, a blast of light waved from him as he appeared before another Engine!

The moment he came in contact with it, he felt like multiple missing pieces were finally coming together in recognition.

||The initial understanding of the Covenant of the Origin has been obtained.||

||Your understanding of the covenant of the Origin has reached 100%.||

WU!

The Soul, Body, and Origin.

His body vibrated at the sheer weight of their understanding as his Enneagram currently seethed with maddened grandiosity.

But he wasn't done.

Oh, he wasn't done!

BOOM!

The verdant gold earth he stood on held cracks as he disappeared, continuing to go from one Sacred Gem Engine to another until he obtained all the Covenants they contained!

In the distance, the Wills of the Realm watched all of this in a stupor as immense silence reigned in.

Away from this region within the Hollow Earth.

In the space above Ephesus.

Alexander's other Enneagram clone was watching the enveloping of the realm below them by the Flag of the Alliance as Ambassador Maximus had a smiling expression while he spoke towards him.

Alexander's eyes were half-focused as he controlled his Clone not to erupt with the raging authority that was being obtained through another clone within the realm below them, but at this time…the Core Feature of the Investigator bloomed once more!

A thread of shocking information entered his mind.

||Fifty thousand miles from here, an entity categorized as Extremely Dangerous has appeared and is heading straight towards Ephesus||

…!

Extremely Dangerous!

What the hell was happening right now that this already chaotic area was about to turn even messier?

—

Tens of thousands of miles away.

A figure clad in a dark robe could be seen, her head full of lustrous dark hair that formed into a cute bun behind her.

Her skin was fair and radiating a distinct light of multiple Covenants of Nature, with all of their particles seemingly converging towards a white gold light.

Her eyes were a gorgeous blue as they blinked rapidly at this moment from being able to sense multiple life forms far ahead of her!

"I tell them again and again not to bother me, and they really give me a mission of reconnaissance of a new Realm. And now, it turns out to be troublesome enough that it seems those hypocrites are also here…"

Hypocrites.

Of the types of people that she hated the most were those who put on a facade in front of the eyes of the majority, presenting themselves to be what they were not.

She much rather liked it when things were straightforward.

She liked people that did not portray one thing, but truly meant something else.

Her mind buzzed as the mere appearance of these hypocrites caused a sort of a trigger as her blue eyes slowly began to turn red!

She sighed as she took a few steps forward, her body becoming covered by a terrifying Covenant of Nature as with every step, she crossed five thousand miles.

It was terrifying to see as in a short span of time…

HUUM!

She arrived a few hundred miles away from the bounds of the Star of Ephesus.

The recently planted Flag of the Alliance was clear, as well as the Five Ambassadors grouped up together and the one entity that seemed to be different from them.

The new entrant looked at all of this as her expression remained cold, and she clasped her hands onto her chest as she uttered out words that all those here heard clearly, the gazes of the Ambassadors of the Star Alliance rapidly turning to those of shock and alarm!

[O Father, forgive me for what I am about to do.]

…!
