Chapter 574: Firstborn

[Yes, Host. To understand more about these Miracle Gold Coins, you must first learn why Goddess Myxenta sacrificed her life to create these artifacts. First, Goddess Myxenta is not a human but a small black cat. She was one of the first beings born in this universe, along with High Humans, High Elves, Fate Fairies, Ancient Dragons, and Ancient Dwarves. But due to some odd reasons, all the firstborn races suddenly disappeared one day and never returned. Well, except for one single being.]

'Myxenta?'

[Yes, Host. Unlike the other firstborn races, she had a unique trait called 'Universal Luck.' Some say that it is an ability granted by the universe itself. Was she born lucky? Or did she get it through some schemes? No one knew the answer. Because of this skill, she somehow managed to evade her precarious destiny and didn't disappear like other ancient firstborn races. Anyway, she didn't stay still after noticing the disappearance of the firstborn races and started searching all over the nearby worlds. Although she never found a clue about the ancient races, she somehow opened a path to a strange dimension filled with powerful, chaotic beings. It's a dimension where countless chaotic worlds are arranged in order.]

When hearing the last sentence, Charles couldn't help but think of Abyss.

'Wait. Chaos creatures didn't belong to this universe?' Charles got more interested in that topic and asked in surprise.

[No, Host. Chaotic Creatures are indeed part of this universe, but they seemed to be in a sealed state all those times. As for who sealed them, no one knew the answer. But after Myxenta opened the seal, they started invading all the nearby World under the leadership of a Supreme Demon and caused destruction everywhere. They conquered countless planes and even turned some worlds into barren lands. They are also the first to find the Divine Path and enslave countless souls into their divine kingdoms. Although many ancient warlocks and mages united and resisted their invasion with all their might, the chaotic faction grew more powerful. That's when Goddess Myxenta used her Universal Luck for the first time and summoned an omnipotent being. Some said that was the Universe's Will, while others said it was the 'Creator,' but no one knows its origin.]

[After summoning that strange being, she asked that strange being to reseal all the chaotic creatures. Unfortunately, that strange being didn't fulfill her request. Instead, it told her to create a balanced universe and waved its hand before disappearing. But that wave released a mysterious power all over the universe and created unique petals.]

Charles instantly recalled the appearance of the divinities and muttered.

"Divinities!"

[To be more precise, 'Luck' Divinities. Before that time, this universe had no luck power, and all mortals' lives were guided by their fate strings and destiny. Even all the World's Will used the fate power to their advantage and controlled the living beings under their palm. Although some Divine beings used 'Time' or 'Fate' divinities to break away from the World's shackles, it was far from enough to break away the shackles of destiny strings.]

[After that, Luck Goddess gathered most of the 'Luck' Divinities and became the second taboo existence. Her power rivaled the Supreme Demon hidden in the Abyss and finally stopped the abrupt invasion of the chaos. She soon formed the lawful faction and helped many Lawful Gods to ascend to the Divine Throne. The war between Chaotic Faction and Lawful Faction continued for more than 9 million years and gave birth to dozens of taboo existences, creating more factions and powerful existences! At the same time, the war finally reached a stalemate. All the Chaotic, Neutral, and Lawful members came to a compromise and decided to split the explored universe into five parts. They are Origin Domain (Lawful Good), Underworld Domain (Lawful Evil), Watchers Domain (True Neutral), Abyssal Domain (Chaotic Evil), and Hell Domain (Chaotic Good). Everyone agreed not to invade any other domain and cause destruction anymore.]

'But that still didn't stop the chaotic faction's invasion, right?'

[Yes, host. Although the supreme demon didn't attack openly, his subordinates acted independently and started causing trouble for the Mid and Low worlds in the form of a planar invasion. Goddess Myxenta tried her best to stop every planar invasion but failed. Ultimately, she used her life force to split her soul into hundred shards and made Miracle Gold coins before tossing them into different parts of the universe. Although no one knows why she did that, each coin has its goal and aim. For example, Dice of Disaster only focuses on causing destruction, and Abium's Miracle Star only focuses on using its gathered luck to help the user create new skills or abilities,] Genesis deliberated momentarily and continued.

[And Wizard's Cube can help the user turn a bad situation into a fortunate one.]

'Oh? So, that's why Miracle Gold coins choose only the people who have the power to shake the balance of the universe, huh? Wait. Does that mean each Miracle Gold coin still has the will of Goddess Myxenta in it?' Charles couldn't help but ask.

[Yes, Host. Even your Dice of Disaster coin had the Will of Myxenta. But when you used the miracle spell and created the unique system, Myxenta's Will merged with me and became a part of me.]

'I now understand why it's impossible for me to gather two coins.' He nodded solemnly and quietly looked at the pocket watch.

'10.23 A.M. Now, let's focus on eliminating the next target.' Although he now had to worry more about Hayley's schemes, he decided not to put too much thought into it.

At that moment, his Edith incarnation suddenly appeared before him and returned the Book of Constellations to him.

Then, she moved forward and directly entered his Inner World.

Simultaneously, Charles received a new memory about Asher and soon widened his eyes.

In that memory, he saw a deep-blue-haired young woman sitting on a throne made of blood-red crystals and appearing more like a queen. She had crystalline red eyes, sharp and long teeth, red scales-embedded hands and cheeks, a unique reddish single horn on the forehead, and a fish-like lower body. Although she looked like a mermaid from the legends, the appearance of red scales, horns, and sharp teeth made him realize she looked more evil and eerie.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the Race mentioned by Ezra and Sylvia and muttered solemnly.

"Syreni Race... But isn't that Race long disappeared from this World after the appearance of lawful Gods? So, Asher is a descendant of Syreni, huh?" At that moment, Hayley's face flashed before his eyes.

'During the earlier battle, she did call herself Blood Queen and also used blood-related spells on Mateo... Bloodline Spell? Wait.' His face turned solemn.

'I have a vague feeling that Hayley might actually be Asher! But why did she try to enslave her own organization member now? Why didn't she do it before? Could it be because of Wizard's Cube's other abilities? Maybe She used me as a scapegoat to take on all the powerful spells and stole it right before my eyes,' He pondered for a moment and soon decided to research this Syreni Race later.

'Let's focus on the current mission.' While muttering, he closed his eyes and searched if Jessie had sent any information about his next target.

'Oh? My next target is Violet. She is one of the weakest members of Destiny Conquerors and has no artifacts or unique spells. But she is known for being the smartest character among all the Destiny Conquerors and is considered one of the most highly dangerous people. She is also the newest member of this organization and walks on the Path of Warlock. She is a Mind-Worm Bloodline Warlock and has spells like Mind Invasion, Telekinesis, Dark Shield, Worm Eyes, Parasite Marionette, and Memory Steal. There is also a rumor spreading about her saying that she has great foresight about any upcoming events and always acts quickly. Wait. Mind Worm Bloodline... Worm Eyes...' He recalled when Sylvia pulled a strange worm filled with eyes from Marvin's forehead and soon squinted.

'What the h*ck? Could it be she was the one who spied on us at that time? But how did she know about us? Moreover, when did she even parasite Marvin? She indeed has such a scary ability and smartness. No wonder everyone calls her as Smartest Character.' Charles couldn't help but take a deep breath.

'I was happy when I realized the next enemy would be the weakest. But now I have a vague feeling this will be a battle of wits. From the looks of it, she seems to have already predicted the danger and is currently residing in her own house. Is it possible to kill her? I can't use Rebirth Domain for one hour, so I have no choice but to use other skills to confront her. Moreover, I can't underestimate my enemy like the last time. Although she is the weakest among all the members of Destiny Conquerors, she is still considered a highly dangerous person. My advantage will increase the faster I kill her. If I drag the battle even for a while, I might get killed.'

While muttering, he put his pocket watch in his coat pocket and started walking toward the airport's location.
