Chapter 557 - What are you fighting for? I

As Noahs watched the continued formation of a fearsome Legion, the commander that would actually have a large amount of control over it was in the same room as him enjoying his food that now had the added taste of [Five Star Chef].

His eyes moved towards Athena at this time as he decided in his mind that it was time, this War Princess having come extremely far into a place he couldnt have even expected- but it was now time to put his months long efforts into realized results.

"Athena, what exactly are you fighting for?"

He threw out a question as he placed his drink down onto the regal dining table, the War Princess looking towards him with a content smile before she saw his seriousness and stood straight, replying to him with careful eyes.

"Of course, Im fighting for order and balance. Im fighting to bring an end to endless chaos that is permeating through the Novus Galaxy."

A simple, sharp, and quick answer came out as Athena regained her valiant look, glancing towards Noah questioningly as she wondered why he would ask this question now.

"For order and balance...huh? So you would point your sword to whoever is sowing chaos?"

Noahs eyes shone with l.u.s.ter as Athena found herself attracted to their light, not being able to pull away as her gaze tightened even further while replying.

"Of course."

"Then..."

Noah heard the strong reply of the War Princess as he waved his hands, an illusory screen appearing in front of the both of them as it depicted a certain star.

This star could have been any random one across the Novus Galaxy, but it was a particularly important one as Athenas eyes widened when she saw it!

This was because she had seen this star a very long time ago when she was being led away from it- when she was saved by a certain Celestial called Grandmaster Luo!

This was the same Grandmaster Luo that had been the first Grandmaster to fall into Noahs hands when he saved the Magus World some time ago.

This was the Grandmaster that Noah had devoured and gained the memories of, learning a great deal of things from this Celestial that had saved Athena from her dying planet. He gained all the memories of this being as he now showed them in the illusory screen in front of him, showing the exact truth of what happened tens of years ago on a Small World called Esylla!

"What is...?!"

"Watch."

A flicker of light shone from Noahs eyes as Athena watched the scene playing out. It displayed Grandmaster Luo overlooking the Small World called Esylla as he held a contemplative look before waving his hands towards it.

An indiscernible flicker of light spread out from his hands as it descended towards this star, dyeing it a flicker of gold before Grandmaster Luo descended down into the star himself.

"Grandmasters raise their power through a variety of ways. Whether through war to gain more influence or fate lines, or those with more freedom choosing to focus on a singular world as they practice their techniques of fate."

Noah narrated as the illusory scene playing out in front of them rapidly changed to show Grandmaster Luo setting up and beginning to live on this star, his focus on the unknowing inhabitants living within as he actually...began personally acting in the dark to influence the history of this world!

Whether it was by sowing discord among factions or assassinating rulers and placing the blame on other groups...anything that he could do to influence the fates of the beings living on this star- he did!

"The Grandmaster Luo you knew particularly loved experiencing the changes of the fate of billions under his fingertips, choosing worlds such as this to carry out his aims as he only sought a single thing."

Yes! This was also the reason why Luo had descended onto the Magus World with his disciples- it was to alter the fates of the beings living there as they gained a more intricate control of their techniques and fate lines!

The illusory scene in front of them continued playing as it showed the passage of time, showing Grandmaster Luo continuing to affect the state of affairs of this world as it went from a stable one into one filled with wars and conflict.

The inhabitants living within could not even explain how they found themselves on this state, only fighting countless wars as they began destroying the world they lived on in the process.

At this time, the illusory scene changed as it showed a small girl dressed in worn down clothes looking at the lifeless bodies of two humans, her gaze blank and not even being able to shed any more tears as the ones she knew as her parents did not open their eyes anymore.

This was the time that Grandmaster Luo had first observed the young Athena...and it was due to the uniqueness that surrounded her in this world full of chaos and ruin, a world that Luo himself had set on this path!

He noticed this being called Athena during one of the days when he monitored the different regions of the world, noticing this girl that had lost both her parents and yet was somehow still surviving.

Luo watched on for weeks as this girl buried her own parents and began living on her own, fighting against those that wished her harm as she also escaped deadly situations with her life hanging by a thread. Luo watched this repeat multiple times before a few thoughts entered his mind, his lips moving as they could be seen on the illusory scene playing out.

"This world might have even more surprises..."

Athenas body was shaking as she watched this scene and heard Grandmaster Luos words, her mind being carried back to when she was young and watched as her parents passed away, and as she struggled to live until one day- a single man appeared in front of her that changed her entire life!

"Child, you seem to be in a great deal of pain."

Full of compassion and wisdom, Grandmaster Luo had appeared in front of her not because he had just happened to pass this ruined world and noticed her uniqueness and talent- but because he was the cause of such ruin as he just happened to notice one of the beings on this world that was actually changing her own fate multiple times.

Coming close to death and surviving every time, beating odds that are stacked against you- Luo thought of all this as he associated it with a single thing...and that was the possibility of a being having a Noble Fate!

He had appeared in front of Athena while lending out a helping hand to lift her from this ruined world that he had in fact made so himself, the Light of mercy shining in his eyes as he called out to her.

"There is too much chaos being spread across worlds nowadays. Child, come with me. I will teach you how to bring order and balance in these chaotic times...so that no other worlds can share the same fate as yours."

With a gaze filled with light and mercy, Luo had reached out to the young War Princess that he ruined the home world of, and called to her to join the same ranks as him!
