Chapter 658 The Mystery Of The Creators
-----
The "Creators" who made the Yggdrasil Tree and then had the tree turned against them… It simply didn't fit with what the Holy Spirits told me they were.
Unless they were lying. Or maybe… there's another force I had yet to meet in this world. Some force, a group of beings that made this world, or designed it. But who are they? Are they truly the Holy Spirits?
And like that, once the night came… I asked them personally.
"Who are the creators?" I asked.
Using the power of my connection with them, I had already figured out a way to visit their Divine Spirit Realm using my consciousness.
The Holy Spirits, resembling enormous pillars with the slight shapes of humanoids glanced at one another, they seemed clueless…
And I could tell they were genuinely clueless, as they were incapable of hiding their expressions or intentions from me, who was glaring directly into their souls.
"We only know very little about them, I am afraid." Said the Holy Spirit of Light.
"So they do exist…" I said. "They're not you, Holy Spirits?"
"No, it could be said we are their children." Said the Holy Spirit of Darkness. "We are the byproduct of their masterful creation."
"Are they malicious?" I asked.
"No." Said the Holy Spirit of Love. "They watch, from afar, above this world's ceiling, within their enormous, floating and cosmic-faring devices."
"You've read my memory, do they come from that Universe?" I asked.
"No, but they have visited and seen it before as well, I believe." Answered the Holy Spirit of Nature. "You were wondering this because of the Journal you read? About Yggdrasil, our sibling?"
"So the original Yggdrasil is your sibling?!" I asked in surprise.
"Indeed." The Holy Spirits nodded.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, the Holy Spirit of Light showed me something, materializing light into a projection of the world of Spiritias.
I was finally able to see it on its totality. I learned it was actually a gigantic, spherical world, and that aside from the four continents, there was only sea.
Well, it was several times more vast than any planet I've ever visited before, and its quality and power was much bigger to the point of being incredibly vast and large.
"Within the World of Spiritias, there are us, the Holy Spirits that represent the Elements themselves, and then there are our siblings, the Spirit Treasures, as they call them. Yggdrasil is our older sister, while there are also other two Spirit Treasures in the other continents." He said. "They're like physical forms of our powers, which are made to be a further pillar to the world's structure."
"I see…" I nodded. "So the Creators made you all to create this world?"
"We are not sure… They call them the Creators, but their real intervention seems minimal." Said the Holy Spirit of Love. "I do recall though… That when we were created, it was instantaneous, as if we were born from the mere concentration of all cosmic energy. The end and the beginning of it all."
"Huh…" I was left flabbergasted.
If that was true, the Holy Spirits were beings equal to Lucifer and just as strong, if not stronger. They were born from the End and Beginning of everything, the deepest, core of all cosmos.
Similarly, the one that created the Universe I once lived in, God, or The One, is a being like them too. Could they be equals? If so, then Spiritias is not a Universe, but some sort of Dimension of an incredibly high grade of quality.
I suppose this explains why the Demons want it so badly…
"Does this answers some of your doubts? We currently don't know where are these entities we presume had something to do with the creation of our existences." Said the Holy Spirit of Light.
"It's fine, this was more than enough." I nodded.
I guess I'll have to trust them for now.
"Can you glance in the other continents and tell me what's happening there, by any chance?" I asked.
"It does seems like the elves and the dragon-kin are in a stalemate, but indeed, our sibling, Yggdrasil, is slowly perishing by a dark force absorbing her powers." Said the Holy Spirit of Nature.
"Most of your predictions were correct." Said the Holy Spirit of Light. "It is a task we were going to give you later, but the sooner it can be done, the better."
"Of course, expect great rewards from that." The Holy Spirit of Ice said. "As long as you help my divinely protected, that is."
"So you've blessed Elfriedden." I laughed. "Well, alright. I better not satiate my curiosity anymore, it does seems like you're growing a bit frustrated of my visit here."
"We don't want to sound rude, but yes, it is quite disrespectful that you ask so many things, we're supposed to be cryptic and mysterious." Sighed the Holy Spirit of Love.
"For now, we've repaid you enough for your feats in answering questions alone. If you desire to have more questions answered to satiate your personal curiosity, you'll have to accomplish more feats, Blake." The Holy Spirit of Light said.
"It's fine." I said. "Thanks for everything."
I didn't wanted to be rude or cocky with them, after all, they've helped me a lot. I appreciate their aid and the trust they put on me, but abusing this might cause our bond to become worse, so I better satiate my curiosity another day.
…
Once I woke up the next morning, I discussed these things with my Spirits inside of my room. They agreed on that resolving the Yggdrasil issue should take a bit of priority, so whenever the chance to go there were to rise, we should get there immediately.
"Hmm, I do wonder though, who do you think is the traitor, my lord?" Hendrick wondered.
"You haven't figured it out yet?" I asked with a smile.
"Oh well, perhaps… But I am never sure." Hendrick said.
"Ah… Is it the one I think it is?" Asked Eleanora. "He is indeed a rather suspicious man… And the way his eyes gazed you in that first day at the academy…"
"Indeed, there is a high possibility it is him." I nodded.
