“Lilith, don’t be stubborn, and let’s leave.” Uranus said coldly, “It will be annoying to leave the tower with all of us chained up.”
“He has a point, we need your protection.” Eris backed him.
Unfortunately, Lilith ignored them and floated towards the stone of reality while coating herself in protective barriers, mixing in her seven sins with the void powers.
As she disappeared inside the thick miasma, the three unigins shook their heads and sat down, awaiting her return.
The miasma seemed laced with a protective ambiance, making it impossible for the unigins to see past a couple of meters…Thus, anyone going at its depth would be on his own.
What Felix experienced during his attempt was nothing compared to this mission, making him realize that the stone of reality was its strongest possible form at their time.
Yet, Lilith didn’t seem to be having as much difficulty as the others. While they were actively being kept away, the miasma seemed to be inviting her. The barriers were still being messed with, but not as heavily as the others.
‘I was right, it’s calling for me…’ Lilith murmured in intrigue as her eyes were affixed on the pulsing stone of reality.
Each heartbeat sent a cryptic message that somehow she understood.
‘Come…Come…Come…’
The closer she got to the stone of reality, the more intense the feeling got until finally, she was merely an inch away from it.
Without an ounce of hesitation, Lilith reached out with her hand and touched the stone of reality.
The moment she did so, the scenery around her was transformed into an infinite void with only one thing around…A transparent humanoid figure with seven celestial hearts beating in sync.
Instead of being scared or confused, Lilith merely cracked a faint smile and said, “Now, it’s getting fun.” The universe’s consciousness showed her the same vision he showed Felix, explaining the birth and creation of the universe. How every celestial core had a big and a small role and without them, their universe would be incomplete.
But then, the vision didn’t stop and continued showing her more details, details that Felix and the rest had no clue about.
Felix and the others opened their eyes wide as they watched five celestial hearts split up from the main body and spread out akin to gleaming meteors.
The three rulers’ hearts headed to the same destination while the elemental heart went in the opposite direction.
The stone of reality kept reducing in size until it disappeared inside the atomic world. Meanwhile, The Origin of Laws Heart, Asna’s core, was devoured by the Universe’s heart!
The left wing resembled a deathly cursed wing of a demon. It was dark red with black feathers and was releasing an ominous aura.
The sphere itself was split in half in a wavey motion, each side symbolizing their wing’s aura. It looked like everything was in harmony even when both forces defined the term opposition.
“It can’t be…”
“Don’t tell me that Asna and Lilith are…”
“Oh…my…god!”
Everyone was quick-witted enough to realize that this core represented the seven sins and the seven virtues, which meant, a unigin was supposed to be born with those two sets of laws!!
But, the next scene changed the natural course.
The core was split right from the middle akin to a cracked egg. Then, the right symbolizing the seven virtues was attached to Asna’s core within the universe’s heart, while the left side stayed floating for a mere moment before its new home emerged.
The Void Core!
Under the dazed looks of the viewers, the left wing merged with the void core and changed its entire demeanor, taking over it completely.
It started letting out an ominous evil aura too while the seven sins symbols appeared once in a while on its surface.
Without anticipating for anyone’s reaction, the newly birthed core flew right past Lilith’s face, awakening her from her daze.
“This…What’s the meaning of this?” Lilith inquired with a solemn tone as she gazed at the featureless being.
By now, she knew that she was experiencing a vision and the one before her must be the consciousness of the universe.
While she held her cool before, after seeing what happened to her origin, she demanded answers.
Alas, just like what happened to Felix, the featureless being ignored her completely and carried on with the vision. But, Felix paused everything, unable to watch more after the latest revelation.
Unlike Lilith in the vision, they knew much more and the truth left them staring at each other in silence, seemingly anticipating for someone to bring it up.
For such situations, it was always good to have someone like Apollo.
“I can’t believe, I actually can’t believe it,” Apollo remarked with an amazed tone, uncaring about the solemn atmosphere, “Asna and Lilith have shared the same core? Doesn’t this mean they are twin sisters?!”
