Chapter 183: Ancient King
All the ancient kings in the chamber may have already died and gone a long ti ago. However, their simple projection remains here as the world recognizes them and preserves their title.
Hearing this, Angus rembers the experience he just got before. The experience of being forgotten by everyone and the voice he heard inside that space. There is a similarity between this ancient king's voice and the previous voice he heard.
'Don't tell , that deep voice in that space is also the ancient king?' thought Angus inwardly.
According to the ancient king, nobody truly knows who is the one that created this place in the first place. So speculated the world itself makes this place. Then, it was modified and changed as ti went by.
Before everyone arrived here and modified this place, there was already one altar concealed and sealed from everyone. This is the sa altar that Angus and Jayna found before coming here.
This is also the oldest altar among the others. Based on the ancient king's story, everyone who managed to fulfill this altar requirent will be fading away and forgotten by everyone.
No matter how strong they are, all of them will turn into nothingness and be forgotten even by the world itself.
The oldest ancient king in the chamber explained that after his countless research, he speculated this place's purpose is to worship the deceased king, which ans this altar also belonged to the ancient king before their ti.
Because of its accursed nature, it is called the Forgotten King's altar. Knowing the terrible nature of the altar, so ancient kings in the past decided to bend the world and sealed this whole place.
After being modified countless tis by notable and strong people, this place beca a place where people received a blessing or legacy from the deceased one.
The stone buildings in the inner area symbolized the place for people to get a legacy after they fulfill the deceased one requirent.
Most of them have a heavy requirent before they could give a person their legacy. So just leave them to fate. So are carefully choosing based on their own preference.
However, unlike the others that co after the ancient king, the ancient king's stone house couldn't be easily modified and changed easily.
Apparently, this ancient king stone house is also the one that is directed by the arm clock from the monster position. The oldest ancient king in this chamber created this chanism to separate people who genuinely deserve their legacy.
Hearing this, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but be surprised since it ans that this oldest ancient king knows how to subdued and control the monster to do his bidding.
Looking at their surprised expression, "Hahaha… Don't be too surprised, young one. In my ti, many other people were capable of doing what I did."
"However, to change the world, only us, the ancient king, could be capable of doing these things." said one of the ancient kings proudly.
Angus and Jayna couldn't help but think how strong all of this ancient king was when they were still alive. They also believed that the phrase 'changing the world' must be quite different from their understanding of changing the world.
'Based on what they told us, these ancient kings must be at least stronger than seventh grade.' thought Angus and Jayna.
After explaining the nature of this place, "So, the question is, how co you survive from being forgotten?" asked one of the ancient kings.
"I am not sure myself. After the altar shines bright, I arrive..." as Angus told his experience inside the outer space before truthfully.
Since they are great people from their ti, Angus thought it is better to tell them truthfully than to keep to himself without a way to understand his current situation.
Moreover, Angus didn't truly get anything besides being cursed or blessed by always rembering Jayna.
Hearing Angus's story and experience, all the ancient kings beco silent and seem to think deeply. Until finally, the oldest ancient king decided to break the silence.
"So, I was right. That thing is also an altar for ancient kings like us. Well, at least now we could solve the question that has plagued us for a long ti. Now, what should we do for these two young ones?" said the oldest ancient king.
"Of course, I will give them my knowledge and power as they managed to solve the oldest one's test." said one of the kings.
"Hey, you cannot do that. You already passed your knowledge towards soone in this generation." said one of the feminine queen-like statues.
"Who said there is a rule not to pass it to more than one person." counter the previous ancient king.
"I will take him as my heir. I could feel his elental affinity is fire. So, It should be who is called as Firelord to take him as my heir."
"Heir?? Didn't you choose soone before?." rebuked another ancient king.
"Hey, it already happened thousands of years ago. There is no way my heir will still survive." countered the Firelord ancient king.
"Hmm… I could feel your potential and beast nature in your body. Little girl, how about you beco my heir, this Queen of Beast." said one of the feminine ancient kings to Jayna with an enchanting voice.
Apparently, the ancient king in this chamber consists not only of n but also won who get recognition from the world. It shows the world itself does not differentiate between gender.
"No way, I already decided to take her as my heir. I could feel an enormous life force in her body. My ancient power is the most suitable for her." rebuked another feminine ancient king.
"She is soone that could resist forgetting her boyfriend. It ans her will is strong and more suitable for my power." replied another feminine ancient king.
As the ancient kings argue one with the others, "One of them seems to have the power of the oldest being while the others have the limitless potential that could survive the forgotten altar. No wonder, all of us want them as our heir." said one of the ancient kings.
"Hmm… Quite all of you!!" yelled the oldest ancient king.
All of the ancient kings imdiately shut their mouths and wait for the oldest ancient king. Based on this reaction, Angus suspects that this oldest ancient king may be the strongest among the others here.
After a while of silence, "Alright, I already decided. We should give the two of them our blessing and ancient power." said the oldest ancient king.
Hearing this, all the ancient kings yelled, "What??"
"Oii… didn't you say that receiving many ancient powers at once may make them get restricted by the world and couldn't use them to their fullest capability." said one of the ancient kings.
"I also agree with him. Moreover, each of our ancient powers has the potential to change the world itself. It will be absurd to give them." said another ancient king.
"True. Besides what happens with the balance of the world, you always preach. Didn't you always say getting too much ancient power at once could collapse the world balance?" said another ancient king.
"They already did. Ever since they resisted the altar of the forgotten king, they have already beco an anomaly of this world. With or without our ancient power, their fate and destiny are already severed from the world." explained the oldest ancient king.
"Now, they are on their own. their fate and destiny are in their own hands. They will be bound to change the world, be it destroy the world or make it a better place. No one will know." said the oldest ancient king as he tried to foresee Angus and Jayna's future.
"Moreover, their ancient powers also will not be restricted by the world. So, they could use many ancient powers without limit. The only thing that will limit them is their own self. However, we cannot take them as our heir." added the oldest ancient king.
"Huh?? Why?" asked one of the ancient kings.
"Because from the boy's story, he is already the heir of the forgotten ancient king while the girl seems to already inherited the power of the oldest being in the world, much older than all of us." explained the oldest ancient king.
"Although the girl could beco our heir, I believe her power will clash with all of you when you decide to make her your heir. As the ancient kings, you should know how stubborn the oldest entity's power works even after their master has been deceased for a long ti."
"So, what we could do is to give her ancient power and not make her into our heir. Though it is almost the sa, her power will not recognize it as an intruder and clash with her heritage power."
"To summarize, both of them are already the heirs of soone else. As the ancient king, you should know better than everyone the ans of an heir. So, now we can only give them our blessing and ancient power."
"Still, the choice is yours to give them your ancient power. As for how they will use this power, it is entirely up to them."
