BOOM.         

There it was huge steam and white hot fog rise out at full force which can even make a hole in a metal plate. However the water was so hot and it splashed on my body due to the impact that I got minor burn injuries. For some time it did pain a lot but more than the pain it was the opportunity to try the healing spell. I was just too excited to cast a healing spell for which people would have considered me an angel on earth.

“OH GODDESS OF LIGHT, I BESEECH THEE, HEAL THY WOUNDS AND BESTOW UPON US YOUR DIVINE PROTECTION.”

White light started surrounding my body and started siphoning all over the burned parts of my body.

“WOOW…OW...WOW”

What the heck, did the white light just dissipate? AArghhh! No I lost focus. Or maybe I wasn’t imagining the wound being healed. Maybe for skin burns I must imagine the destruction of damaged and dead cells and siphon magical power to the nearby cells and try for cell division and repair the damaged parts. Also for some reason after myself saying that lengthy obsolete line I don’t think I need that maybe just a simple word should be able to do it. After all a dying man can’t be saved on battlefield if the healing spell takes too long to spell out and activate then. Here goes nothing!

[HEAL]

This time my complete focus was on the damaged portions and the nearby cells which will undergo cell division consecutively. White light started radiating through my body again. Unlike the previous time where this white light would cover my body as it appeared from the surrounding, this white light was radiating throughout my body and was responding to the core centre of my body. Also for some reason my long black hairs had turned white. I wonder how I look in white hairs.

But these abrupt changes did not make me lose focus. The toll of the burns and the pain was shearing through my body and I need to quickly apply healing magic otherwise it may leave a mark.

The burned spots started vanishing and new skin took its place. Just in case I walked to the mirror and scanned my whole body.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”

“How did this happen. It’s as if I have totally developed a new skin out of nowhere.”

When I peeked into the mirror my fair skin was glowing more brightly than ever as if I just came out of a salon after taking a full body tone treatment. Even my face where there were some dark circles due to waking up till late nights had vanished. Well my hairs have restored to black colour at least. But there was still the problem that they had gotten lengthier, maybe even stronger and had a fine luster in my hair strands.

It was as if someone had casted a beautifying spell over me.

“Did I just heal my whole body unconsciously instead of only healing the burns? I need to be more cautious while using magic power. I can already feel a bit dizzy because I might have lost a lot of magical points. I should probably lie down for some time.

It was six in the morning when I woke up. I probably slept for an hour or so.

Last night we had decided that we will meet again tomorrow morning at the same spot where we went after the banquet hall. I prepared some sandwiches from the materials in the kitchen. The pantry was full of snacks and cold drinks. So there was no need to worry about food.

For those who don’t know at my uncle’s home I used to prepare my morning breakfast and school lunch on my own. Even in the evening when the whole family went out to have dinner I was asked to stay at home. My uncle and aunt would themselves make excuses of me by saying that there are a lot of recent neigbourhood burglaries so I need to keep a watch or I had to prepare for my exams. I always felt frustrated when things went this way. I too wanted to eat good food. So I had made up mind, to learn cooking by watching videos online. I would wake up whole night and try several dishes ranging from normal everyday to exquisite cuisines from Japanese to continental including sweets and other confectionaries.

 In my eyes I was already a grand chef and I was able to come up with the perfect dish on my first attempts. Maybe I should have tried in the cooking club at school but even after sending several applications they rejected me without even trying me.

After having my breakfast I came out of the building and first time started walking on the road. As per the angel the roads will take you in the direction of the place I wanted to go. I kept the image of the tree in my mind, for some reason that and the shooting stars were the only thing I could remember about the place.

I walked on the grey-stone pavement and I could see a lot of angels unloading and transporting cargos from a huge cart drawn by horses with feathers, are they the heavenly beasts called Pegasus which I read in the book yesterday. There was hustle and bustle in every nook and corner of the streets, most of the gods were carrying some boxes while some walked in groups gossiping about different types of games, song and dance. Also there were many decorative items like huge plants laden with beautiful flowers of all colours I could think of. There were long red carpets, and huge logs were piled in the middle of street in a square formation one over the other maybe for a bonfire at night as a special event. One could possibly think of it as the preparation of a huge festival. Right I remember the tree of life after 10,000 years was going to bear its one fruit today. I wonder what it tastes like!

I would love to explore this festival with Lady Athena. I will make sure that I ask her about it when me meet.

INFORMATION BROCHURE

DIVINE SYSTEM

The divine realm, mortal realm (the universe), the hell or the realm of dead are all governed by a certain set of laws which are controlled maintained and observed by a single power entity called the Divine System. Over all these laws of nature the one who presides above all and have the power to twist these laws of nature is the Almighty World God. This position is also known as the ‘Administrator’.

ADMINISTRATOR

The Almighty World God is the most powerful being, the Absolute. He is the controller and the governor of the Divine System. His job is to use the divine system to observe the world and take actions to maintain the stability among all the three realms.

SUB-ADMINISTRATORS

There are several other beings that are given certain limited access to the divine system. They generally include the strongest gods of the upper echelons who are the direct descendants of the Almighty World God in terms of blood and divinity. Others include Hades, the god of the underworld and the strongest apostle of hell. Usually even these rights can be scrutinized or denied as seen fit by the administrator. There are only two cases where a sub administrator uses the power of divine system when allowed by the administrator or when the command issued fails to be observed or is overlooked by the administrator.

ORIGIN

In the beginning there was nothingness which accumulated over time at one point giving birth to DESIRE and so the God’s will was born to fulfill these desires.

On fulfillment of the first desire which was to remove nothingness, light was formed by the god’s will. This God made a place called the Divine realm from where he would fulfill these desires.

 For the first time something was created in this nothingness and then there was birth of matter, birth of consciousness, or birth of living creatures, birth of culture. The mortal races occupied the mortal realm. GOD made several other gods called his descendants and created the omnipotent power called Divine System. These descendants could siphon and wield this power to fulfill the desires of the mortal realm.

But these desires were an endless loop of criss-cross and most of them conflicted which gave rise to malice, hunger, hatred, jealousy, anger and evil.

The Malice then accumulated and took a separate life form that had their own desires. The GOD collected these new species and made a separate realm for them called hell.

DIVINE REALM & GODS

The land of gods flourished while the lower the god stood in lineage and as descendants the lower it could siphon the power of pure divinity. But divine power in itself was the strongest source of energy in existence. Only the body of god can handle the divine power.

The body of god’s is special as it contains the blood of the World God called ‘ICHOR’ which serves as the medium to siphon divinity from divine system.

No mortal from mortal realm or denizen of hell can use divinity. This is an undisputable nature of the Divine system.

MORTAL REALM

The World God created a universe which keeps on expanding as the number of world’s increases to fulfill the desire of the mortal beings. All these worlds contain different or almost similar species of living beings with humans, elves, beastmen and demons forming the major population in this realm. Different world has different magical densities in their structure and composition hence which decides the strength and mental capacity of the living beings living on that world.

WORLD

Each World in Mortal Realm was first but a small particle called ‘core’. This core is the solidified form of god’s blood Ichor which is in highly compressed and in its densest form. The denser is this core the stronger is the world in terms of magical culmination and nearer to the divine realm and more magical density is possessed by it. Around this core the landmasses are formed due to its infinite gravitational pull.

HELL OR REALM OF THE DEAD

The denizen of the hell consists of evil spirits, spirits with unfulfilled desires, zombies, necromancers, vampires. These are the living beings that claim hell as their turf. Guardians of the Hell Gate, Apostles are the rulers of the hell of each world. Hades the god of the underworld is the ruler of every hell and the only person who has sub administrative authorities over the divine system and a descendant of World God.  

The source of energy that supports this realm is called ‘miasma’ which is the living concentration of malice leaked from the mortal realm. ‘Black Miasma’ or ‘Dark Matter’ is the purest form of miasma and the ultimate and densest form of malice.

RELATION BETWEEN DIVINITY AND BLACK MIASMA

DIVINITY and BLACK MIASMA are powers of equal strength but are made of different frequencies and wavelengths. Whenever these two powers will collide or come in contact it will result in destruction. No denizen of hell can set foot in divine realm and no god of divine realm can set foot in hell. Only World God and Hades are the only beings to whom these laws do not extend and they have full access to both heaven and hell. However the divinity of  the World God and his descendants is far more superior and powerful than the Black Miasma.

TREE OF LIFE

The tree of life is a colossal tree which supports the heavens, thereby connecting the heavens, the mortal realm, and, through its roots, the underworld. One may even consider it a world tree.

The purpose of its existence is to collect all the excessive energy from heaven, hell and mortal realm. While it directly collects divinity from heavens, for the mortal realm it collects the energy that has scattered from various planets and collected together as mist in outer space which itself gets purified by revolving at very high speed in circular paths forming a special kind of energy called ‘halo axal’ which is at the same wavelength at divine energy. The tree of life absorbs this special energy, purifies it from unnecessary waves of energy and add the pure energy to its reserves.

As for the underworld, while the black miasma has totally different wavelength and frequency, the roots of the tree of life surrounds the gate of hell at its hinges and absorb all the dark matter. The roots then transfer all the negative emotions and malice to the bark and stems of the tree, which are broken down into simpler emotions and desires, which are then consumed as nourishments for the survival of tree. The leaves then convert this raw energy from underworld to pure divinity by purifying with the light which is omnipotent in the divine realm.

Finally after every 10,000 years all this surplus high density pure divinity is then collected at a single place and is stored in the form of a fruit that is a red apple. The consumption of this apple with its chaotic pure divine energy since its early stage of formation and its instability in its fruit form, can even kill the gods of the upper echelons as their bodies won’t be able to handle the backlash. So after extracting the fruit from the tree of life it is kept in the chambers of the divine realm below the Pantheon till the chaotic energy subsides and the fruit is fit for consumption.

SELECTION OF THE CONSUMER

The apple is said to fall from the tree in the presence of the being it sees is fit for the consumption of its divine fruit. As per record no god has survived or escaped unscathed when the fruit is directly consumed just after the God’s selection. As per observation, the reason for this hazard is not because the body can’t handle the divinity, since by various means with the help of other god’s this excessive divinity from his body can be extracted by and distributed among other gods. The real reason of this constitutional body failure is because of the fact that the assimilation of this apple causes a sudden high rise in the ‘soul power’ of the individual, and if the body cannot contain this vast amount of soul power collected over a span of ten thousand years the vessel ruptures, leading to the outburst of the spiritual veins which siphons soul power and is rooted deep inside bodies of everybody including gods, mortals and denizens of hell.
