Chapter 1567 Ancient Venerables

"The opposite? But didn't she go against him?" I asked.

"She was his greatest apprentice, someone he left behind to continue on his plans. But she also had plans of her own. Unlike her master who wanted to destroy the world and escape into the cosmos. She wanted to protect it. You may think she's like me, but she's not. She wanted to protect it by controlling it. She became the Supreme Ruler of the world, and governed by great ferocity, tyranny, and all mixed with her own idea of what was righteous in such ancient times. Many people die, many innocents she thought as "unworthy", these were the times when the largest quantity of tribes died off." The Ice Queen explained.

"Tribes...?" I asked.

"Yes, such as the Fire Elves, who once held a giant Empire, they were destroyed and moved to extinction by her." She nodded. "The Aquamagna Union, a group of hundreds of underwater Kingdoms led by all sorts of mermen of species that no longer exist now, their entire world was destroyed by a rain of stars because they opposed her rules. The Golden Dunes Confederation, a group of insectoid beast people that once governed half of Svartalfheim, they were eradicated when a gigantic meteor fell over them. Why? Because they did not abide with her trade policies that benefited her own continent, Alfheim, way too much."

"That's..." I felt shocked to hear that someone as almighty as a Venerable would use their powers to abuse the weak and eradicate countless innocents, incapable of even fighting back.

At that point, it was just bullying, a pathetic showcase of how insecure as a person she was, despite how far she had reached. A truly pathetic and horrible woman.

"Most of them, yes. Dungeons usually don't just appear with infrastructure and all. They are born inside of places that are already suitable, most of the time." The Ice Queen said. "And, well, there's the lesser of the two evils, but still a rather malicious human venerable that comes much later. He's someone that came right after Belle. The "Heaven-Defying Providence Immortal Venerable", a powerful man that did not inherit any Aesir Bloodline, but brought to this world his own, powerful element. The power of manipulating Luck and Fate itself."

"Huh... So he's still allied with the other guy, the Aesir one?" I asked.

"Yes, they're good allies... Even after death, those two must be definitely plotting something within Midgard! With Fate growing weaker rapidly, once it finally shatters, they will most likely immediately revive with their own ancient methods and attempt a total conquest of the world, just like before." She said. "You better be well prepared. Venerables might have had been tied by lifespans and might have been born as mortals originally. But all of them at their pinnacle would easily destroy you even as you are. Me and Belle included."

"You guys are THAT strong? And I thought that reaching Rank 10 would get me closer to you..." I sighed, feeling weak again.

"No, I mean... Well, of course. You're getting there. But the big difference is the Ascendancy Laws. You must forge your own and then cultivate it to finally reach higher Ranks of your Divine Core Cultivation." The Ice Queen spoke, almost as if ordering me. "We will be at your side and be your allies, but that doesn't mean we'll always protect you. You're the Dragon King, you possess the potential to become stronger than everybody and hold within you the Essence of Creation. But as of right now, you will stand no chance."

"I see... Got it. I am constantly growing stronger. I don't exactly know when will Fate shatter, but once that happens. I won't be the same either." I smiled, tightening my fists. "I can at least assure you of that."

The Ascendancy Law I will create will surpass them all.
