Chapter 346 Freedom At Last I

Within the Mortal Realms

Athens, Royal Palace

The city of Athens has prospered throughout the various years that it was built. And alongside its prosperity, was the prosperity of the Void Island, and its progress of evolution with its many cities and civilizations.

Aside from the great city of Athens, the abode of the gods at the peak of the Island, there was also the city of Snow on the north, the abode of the vikings and the valkyries, warriors at the level of gods at their peak. While on the south, was the Sun city, the abode of the dessert people.

To the west was the mortal city of Sparta, a city of the Spartans, the city rumored to have the favor of the God Empress herself. While on the east, was the various congregation of tribes that were quite powerful.

And this, was just a simple layout of the whole Island, but there were also hidden locations, forbidden zones, and many more. But today, the God Empress herself was not focused on that. Instead, she was having the day to herself.

Athena, for once, was scouring through the inner regions of the Palace. Doing something productive, either than sitting upon her throne or scheming at all times. She was actually walking around... which was unlike her.

The maids, the guards, the butlers, each and every one of them, were shocked speechless when they saw Athena pass by. It was unbelievable. Like seeing the solar eclipse within the same region twice in a single year.

Yes, that rare.

'If I remember correctly, the day is today? Or perhaps is it tomorrow? Aiy, without the power of knowledge, my job has become even harder.' She thought, ignoring the eyes and shock of everyone around them.

Why would the views and thoughts of lesser beings compare to her own? Why would the thoughts of others matter to her? She was her own person, and judged her own life, decisions and actions. Like how a real woman should.

'Leader, did you ever realize that your actions are literally going against the flow of True Will's predictions? I honestly thought you'd realize after having shared your mastery of Time with that pervet brother of yours, but I guess you didn't. And now, you stole my Knowledge as well. Aiy~' Her thoughts continued along with her every step.

And the thought of Enigma's strange triats was only mind torturing for someone lke her. After all, she was knowledgeable, and very much wise. There was few things that she didn't know, be it the Origin Era, the True Verse, or the current ending Infinite Era.

She was the Lady of wisdom, and the previously known Stanchion of Knowledge. But all that, meant nothing in the face of true power. In the face of someone with the hidden traits rivaling those of Omnipotence itself.

"It all means nothing to a monster like you, now does it, leader?" She stood besides the guards at the entrance, whom were watching over the castle's door. Her words attracting their attention, yet also being ignored by them.

After all, the was an ongoing rumor around the Void Island, which was... The God Sisters are all knowing and all powerful, but are also eccentric and unique by their own right. The Lady of Wisdom being capable of speaking to herself out of the blue.

'But then again, if my Knowledge Law is like this, then that means he has achieved complete mastery of the its power, and has the highest authority pertaining to it.' She thought, taking off to the sky, the presence of the two guards being ignored.

'If he so likes, he could strip every person that owns the Knowledge their capability to gain its power. Which I believe he did do so.' She waved her hand and tore through the fabric of space, opening a path leading to the vast endless skies of the mortal worlds. 'And the one responsible, has thrown himself to my hands.' She added.

She then entered the tear in space, and left the city of Athens just like that. She vanished out of the now perfectly balanced Void Island, where she stood above as God Empress, Joy as the Heavenly Mother and Joyce as the Earthly Mother.

Her sister, who has vanished for a couple of decades, was the Devil Empress. Because of that, the mortals had plenty of time of peace to build their civilizations, and began worshipping gods that rose in numbers.

Yet behind the scenes, they were unaware that to keep balance, Athena was doing her sister's job, and creating multiple demon kings below. The balance had to always be kept. For progress to occure, and for neutrality to prevail.

"All for the power of Neutrality." She murmured below her tongue, with a playful smile, traversing the endless turbulent paths of the Void she opened up. She traverse a couple of spatial storms, and even cosmic storms, maneuvering through them like a professional glider.

It was as if she had went through the process countless times, as if she had known about their occurrence and weaknesses.

And at long last, she finally appeared within a different region, that was thousands upon thousands of light years away from the Void Island. And if it wasn't because of the displaced and dislocated void sections, she wouldn't have arrived here so soon.

'The Void displacement cuts of distance, by creating invisible doorways that help people cross various distances. While the dislocation of the Void moves the Void itself, along with everything within, to a completely different region.' Her thoughts went on, explaining how she crossed vast distances in such a short time.

She then waved her hand once more, and tore through the Void again, hiding within. And the area she hid within, was pretty much obvious to entities of Outer origin and above. Even Demigods could see through her hiding spot.

But it mattered not. She did this not to hide or anything of such, but to create a place where the World Will will be able to descend upon her. And to descend, it did.

「What is it that you are up to now?」

The World Will appeared, not wasting much time. Being all powerful aside, she could not trust Athena. Not after everything she orchestrated it to do all these years.

"You really don't trust me, do you? But I was doing everything for you though. For your sake." Athena said, a light smile on her lips. Her battle dress flaunting through the hidden void despite there being no air around her.

「Please keep your words to yourself, ochestrator. Just tell me what are you up to now, or leave」

"Geez, so uptight, aren't you?" Athena sighed, yet the smile remained prominent on her face. Her handsome disposer standing out even more. "Fine. I'll tell you. I'm here waiting for an old friend of mine." She responded, the smile on her facing blooming brightly.

「...By old friend, you mean that hateful man that does as he pleases?」

"Calling him hateful is too much, isn't it? I mean, doesn't that just mean you are bitter?" Athena couldn't help but chuckle at the response of the World Will. "As a fellow woman, I'll tell you something, not everyone will like you. Not everyone is like me, after all." She added.

「You? You claim to like me? I don't have emotions, true, but please don't make me laugh. That's impossible」

"Says the person who literally has no friends. I mean, even your siblings don't give you much attention, despite using your true body as an abode for themselves and their descendants. Your parents and seniors barely give you attentions unless when they need you."

Athena looked up at the presence above her, her smile still ever present, with hints of mockery held within. Her words were also not sugar-coated, as they carried absolute damage within. "Your niece and nephews don't even know of your existence as a family member. Literally, nobody loves you. Even I don't love you. I at least like you, though." She added, concluding with that.

「....」

And her words had the World Will silent in shock. Her words had a lot of truths within, as indeed, from a different perspective, she was the creation of Terra, the first creation of the Mother of Terra herself, Ancient Goddess Tear.

Thus she was the oldest sibling of the Prosecutor, the Abysssl Monarch, the Radiant and Gloom Kings, the Mother of Spirits, the Heavenly King and the Queen of Hell. Yet... none treated her as such.

None even conversed with her, unless when they desired something out of her. Even her children, the Realm Wills, were ignored. Right now, they were being fused together and being disregarded by their aunts and uncles. Such actions–

"–are too inhuman, isn't that it?" Athena finished up the thoughts of the Realm Will, her eyes wondering within the Void. "But I'm different. I have taken care of your youngest child, the will of this Realm. I've helped you and him progress and grow stronger."

"And yes, that benefits me too, true, but I chose methods that were family friendly just for you. I might not love you, and I might be selfish, but at least I like you. Admit it, I... am all that you have, my dearest. All that you will need." She stretched out her hand to touch the Great presence above her along with her words.

Such actions were suicidal, as the presence above was even stronger than the Abyssal Monarch or the Prosecutor of the Abyss. Such presence was the peak of this entire world, it was the converged essence of Terra itself.

The Manifestation of Terra!!!
