Chapter 16: The Primordial King

We all proceeded to the classroom. We all walked in the classroom as everyone watched us.

"Welcome back."

"Hello Seth."

"That's Professor, Levantes."

"That's Divine Emperor, Professor Seth."

Professor Seth Solarium Silva. The only teacher I respected in this school, Pandora's oldest brother. Although rumours have said that Themis is Pandora's half brother, they are actually blood siblings. Not one parent is different.

"Arthur, I still have your sword."

"Oh shit. I did give it to you."

Seth pulled out a longsword out of his spatial storage. The sword's sheath was made of gold and decilium. Arthur didn't unsheath it because most students would die from the power and aura of the sword. Excalibur, one of the most powerful weapons in Existence. It was one of the Archon grade weapons made from the Primordial King. These weapons can easily destroy our world with ease. Weapons and armour have levels of strength just like magic and living creatures. The grades for the weapons and armour is the same as the tiers for magic. For an example, 10th grade armour can withstand five hits of a 10th tier spell. A 10th grade weapon deals the same amount of damage as a 10th tier spell. Archon tier magic was never used since the Primordial King's reign. The era where the Eight Kingdoms were united. The true era of magic. There are eight Archon grade weapons with different abilities. There are eight because they were originally made for the leaders who will take over for the Primordial King. Well now all eight are in hands of different people. Only two of them is in the hands of Vasiliases, Arthur and my father. We all sat down at our seats. The seats were the same as Alpharius Academia.

"Okay take your seats and we will start with the history of our world."

Pandora was right. I sat down with Arthur at the back row next to the window. Pandora and Cynthia sat down infront of us. Lilith went to sit with Kyron in the middle of the classroom. Iris sat with Apophis on the other side of the classroom and Themis sat down on the desk next to me and Arthur. He sat down with a girl. The girl had galsses with red hair. She was a demon who we knew for many years. Athena Heroidias.

"The first beings not to ever exist but to live in our world was the Primordials. Our headmaster is also of the Primordials. No one knows the age's of the Primordials. The Primordials created the Eight Kingdoms then ruled them but there was a being who ruled the Primordials, he was and still is known as the Primordial King. The Primordial King's name is unknown-"

"His name was Yaldabaoth."

Tartarus had kicked open the door just to say this.

"He was stronger than all of the Primordials. He beat us multiple times while training. He never went full out though. He never went higher than 0.01% with anyone. He created the weapon you have Arthur. He also created the weapon some of the student council members have. Levantes, Lilith and Pandora, what grade are your weapons? Archon am I not right."

We looked at Tartarus with rage.

"That looks tells me you guys have one. You know those weapons were specifically made for the First Vasiliases but I'm sure you guys know. Those three weapons are strong so don't use them rashly. If you do as much as a slight mistake your world will be gone, probably even other worlds. Levantes care to show us the katana that can destroy space and time with ease. Did you also know with that katana you could do things with the nonexistence? I'm sure you know what that is considering you've been there before."

I shot up from my desk.

"I've never been there."

"You probably don't remember."

"What do you mean?"

"Anyways I'm gonna go. Sorry for kicking your door down."

"Laertes can we switch seats?" Arthur whispered

"Why?"

"You know why."

"Because of Athena."

"It was hard enough for me to sit in her sister's classroom for two years."

"Not my fault you dated her for a few years."

"Please Levantes."

"No."

"Why?"

"I like the window side."

"Fine I'll just tell Themis to move seats with Athena telepathically."

Arthur looked as if we was sitting in class to most people, but I could hear everything he said.

"Themis move seats with Athena."

"Why?"

"You know why. Please I'll do anything."

"Fine."

I looked at Themis try to persuade Athena to switch seats.

"Yes!"

"Arthur could you explain what I just said to Themis?"

Arthur rose from his seat. His hands shaked vigorously as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Laertes help."

"You're on your own."

"Sorry professor could you explain I didn't understand either."

"Explain what Arthur?"

"Umm...The bit of the Primordial King."

"Very well then. Levantes could you explain to Arthur."

"You're the teacher."

"I want to know if you know about the Primordials."

"The Primordials were the first beings to exist in our world. That's all."

"Okay then. I thought you would know more being the King and having the highest results in every single topic and being the smartest and strongest student in this academy let alone 2-S."

"Well I am and that's not gonna change."

"Fine then, keep your secrets Levantes. I'm sure you'll reveal them sooner or later."

"I'm sure I will."

"Thanks Laertes."

"You know owe me."

At the first break we all rushed to the library.

"Search the whole history department."

The library was titanic compared to most libraries. The school library had some things you don't find in most libraries, one of them being the Book of the Primordials.

"Laertes I found it."

"Where Themis?"

I followed Themis's voice to see him at a table. On the table sat a book. The book was average in size. I touched the book. Suddenly, all the information in the book was now in my head. Reader. A skill that allows to user to read every single bit of information in a book or a letter. Also allows the user to project words on a paper without having to write.

"So what did it say?"

"Read it yourself Lilith."

"Please just give us the info."

One more thing 'Reader' can do is that it allows the user to give any living thing this information.

"I see. So The Primordial King is dead." Lilith said with a hint of disappointment.

"How the hell does a guy that strong die?"

"He can't be dead Arthur."

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly as you said. A guy that powerful can't die. If he did then he was most likely killed by something more powerful than him or..."

"Or what?"

"He had a plan. He probably told the rest of the Primordials to say that he died but instead he went somewhere."

"What if it's both. He went somewhere to fight a creature on his level."

"You could be right Pandora but where would he go?"

"What if he reincarnated?" Lilith said.

"Reincarnated? Why would he do that?" Arthur replied

"I don't know but he could've reincarnated, I mean it is a possibility."

"True, but if he did then that would mean he is somehwere in this world or is still being reincarnated because by the way Tartarus behaves I don't think the thing is killed or it is but Yaldabaoth died while fighting." Arthur said.

"That guy can't die. He has multiple layers of immortality and he's beyond the Archon rank. He literally transcends the nonexistence and travels to different worlds without any difficulty. What type of thing is strong enough to even make the Primordial King reincarnate or die."

"You could be right Themis."

"What do you think Levantes?"

"I don't know. Let's stick with Themis's theory, he could be right."

"Okay then Levantes we'll try find more books-"

"Wait. I realised something. There's code."

"WHERE?!"

"Open the book to page 86-89. That's not regular ink drops. They're Morse code. Arthur read it at loud and tell me what you think."

"Okay then. N. Y. X. T. E. L. L. H. I. M. A. B. O. U. T. T. H. E. P. L. A. N."

"Who's Nyx?"

"She's the strongest primordial."

"How do you know?"

"I met her."

"Wait there's more-"

"Arthur wait. How did Yaldabaoth know about Morse Code? This was before us and our fathers."

"So you're saying he looked into the future."

"Yeah."

"So he looked into the future and used Morse Code to tell Nyx something."

"Exactly."

"And you're also saying that if he looked into the future he definitely saw this. Which means he wanted us to see it."

"How the he did you get that from Laertes saying a few words with that expressionless face?"

"He's not the only genius. Lilith there's many people who surpass you in intelligence."

"Sure."

"Let me read the rest. D. O. N. T. T. E. L. L. A. N. Y. O. N. E. A. B. O. U. T. T. H. E."

"About the what?"

Arthur flipped the pages looking for more clues.

"There's no more."

"No there is."

"Where?"

"Page 88-89 is one single word made from common mistakes in certain words."

"Oh wait I know this, I saw it in a movie." Pandora said.

"R. E. I. N. C. A. R. N. A. T. I. O. N."

"We were right, but why did it say reincarnation. Yaldabaoth probably did reincarnate but for what reason and when did he?"

"What'd I miss?"

We all looked at Apophis who came with another book in her hands. After we explained to her about our discovery she then showed us the book.

"What the hell? Eyes?" Arthur said confused.

"What the hell does that mean?" Lilith also said confused.

I touched the book then gave the information to everyone else.

"What the hell?" Lilith said.

"Eye of Reincarnation?" Pandora said still confused.

"So there's an eye and that eye is the only way to reincarnate. Then how the f*ck did we reincarnate?"

"Arthur don't you understand. We've met the owner of the Eye of Reincarnation and there are other special eyes. There's Yaldabaoth's Eye of Absolute, Nyx's Eye of Darkness, Erebus's Eye of Kreatus, the Eye of Infinty, Eye of Chronos and Aether's Eye of Light. These eyes are so strong that they were the sole reason for the immense strength of the Primordials."

"To think that Yaldabaoth was so strong he had two eyes: the Eyes of Absolute and the Eye of Infinty."

"Arthur these eyes have some broken skills though." Themis said.

"Yeah."

In the corner of my eye I saw another book.

"What the hell is this?"

I touched the book.

"Oh shit."

"What?"

"Take a look Arthur." I said as I gave everyone the information.

"Wait...True Awakened Form."

"There's another ritual after the Awakened Form."

"Yeah Pandora and these skills. They're was too overpowered to have, explains why only five people has reached it." I said as I looked at the books on the table.

"The Primordials."

"Yeah. No wonder they're so strong. Your base form becomes about a hundred thousand times stronger, your Awakened Form becomes a thousand times stronger than that and your True Awakened Form is almost the same as the Awakened Form but a halo forms behind you."

"Despite the appearence looking like your Awakened Form your abilities become too strong."

"Your right Apophis, I'm sure Yaldabaoth found out about this form. If only five people in existence has reached it then considering about 865,817,082,746,729,236,541,614,515,826,862,142,516,212+ people have been born since the beginning of time in our world and only five people have reached that form then it's safe to say that the chances is probably above thirty factorial. Chances of any of us achieving it is even lower."

"Levantes is right, there's a low chance of achieving our True Awakened Forms. It could take a few galactic years of consistent cultivation so there's no point obtaining great power, we are all beyond the concept of average so let's be grateful for that."

"True."

Everyone agreed.

"If any of us somehow does reach it that person gets my katana."

"Really?!"

"Yeah."

"How about I put my wealth on the line as well."

"You sure about that Themis."

"No problem Apophis, it's not like anyone's gonna reach it in the first place."

"I just realized something. We came back at the wrong time."

"How?"

"The tournaments start next month. Meaning there's one week of training then the next three weeks are continuous 1v1 matches between the students, then the last four students compete in the inter-academy tournament."

"Then there's the Royal Ball."

"I forgot about that."

"Obviously Arthur would remember." Lilith said.

"Apophis why are you so quiet today?"

"Not sure how to break this to you Laertes, but this year it's not 1v1."

"What is it then?"

"We don't know. I only overhead the teachers say this year will be different."

"I see."

"Why is everything becoming so cliche."

"We have 45 minutes left, let's eat."

"It's not even lunch time yet."

"Fine I'm going to eat-"

"Can Levantes Artrium Volomir go to the Headmaster's office."

"There goes your food."

"Who said I'm going now."

"But the-"

"I'm eating then going."

"The lunch hall is closed so don't try eat then go to my office."

"What's your plan now-"

"I have food stored in my spatial storage and they're fresh because time doesn't exist in there. Who wants food?"

"I'll have some."

"No problem Pandora. Anyone else?"

"Levantes come now."

"Looks like I'm gonna have to go then."

"Good luck." Lilith said sarcastically.

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Good luck."

"Thanks for the sarcasm."

I proceeded towards Tartarus's office.
