Chapter 173: [Child of Mana!]
A few days after the events in the Border Town, the news reached most of the nearby countries. Especially the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Life, since the city was on the border of those two.
And while things were much calmer in the Kingdom of Light, it wasn’t the same for the Kingdom of Life, Nirvana.
In a forested area, deep into the Forest of Life, there was the main city of elves.
It was a massive city that ran on mostly mana, and the mana engineering was at its peak. Fast train-like structures, and water bridges, and houses that were connected through mana portals.
It was like a metropolitan high end developed city, except that it was run on mana and not on electricity.
And at the center of the city, lies the giant tree, The Yggdrasil, Tree of Life. Though it was just one of the greatest branches of the tree that happened to be here, where the first elves settled.
It was said to be connected to both Heaven and Hell, and was the main source of power for the city. Not just the city, to be honest, but in a way the entire Kingdom of Life.

At one of the branches of this tree, there was a highly protected area where only those with the highest authority could enter. It was the main headquarters of the 12 Saints who ruled the Kingdom of Life.
Unlike the Kingdom of Light, where Alepsia usually passed on the message, and at times descended to guide her followers, Freya didn’t involve herself with her kingdom.
Only if the matter involves something from other Gods, or beings that require her interference she would step in. Otherwise, she would keep herself away from the entire nation, holding the authority in name only.
Whether the kingdom perishes or continues to sustain forever… matters not much to her.
Atleast, that’s how the people of Nirvana think.
And at the same sacred place where only the 12 saints could enter, the headquarters of the 12 Zodiacs, there were 2 of them sitting at a round table, at the center of which the hologram of a high elf was present.
Whitish blonde hair and beauty that surpasses the norm even among the elves. Her powers of life, one of the strongest even among the high elves, she stood there reporting what happened in the Border Town.
“I have met with Wesker, the one responsible for the entire events of yesterday, and have gained most of the information from him. As for whether or not it is correct, I have yet to confirm. But based on what happened and what the locals speak… it seems to be mostly correct.”
The girl in the hologram, Trisha, had already explained everything in detail to the 2 saintesses present.
They both were quiet for a moment before nodding as they answered,
“All right. Stay there for another week and report if anything else happens. If there is nothing, then return to Nirvana,” one of the saints, wearing a blue dress, spoke as she looked at the other saint beside her.
The hologram closed, and now only the two of them were present in the room.
“How should we categorize this? Nothing happened, but what could have happened was at least at the catastrophic level,” the white-haired saint spoke, as she looked at the blue-haired one.
“Let’s leave it on the report next week. If something happens, we will take immediate action, else we can leave it for now. There are already a lot of things on our plate,” the blue-haired one sighed before both of them began walking outside the headquarters.
Not too far from the headquarters there was a place which was heavily guarded from the outside. The security was even tighter than what was in front of the headquarters.
Moving towards that place, both the saintesses entered the guarded area. The big doors opened, revealing a staircase in front of their eyes, which they climbed gracefully.
If they wanted, they could have easily crossed it all within a second, but they were careful. They were respectful.
And taking one step at a time, they reached the top area where there were two more of the 12 saints standing at the edge of a circular platform, watching someone meditating.
The two saintesses got on one knee as they bowed to that kid, who was meditating at the center of the platform.
“The Saintess of Virgo greets the Future God of Nirvana,” the white-haired saintess said.
“The Saintess of Pisces greets the Future God of Nirvana,” the blue-haired saintess said.
That child, brimming with mana, his hair white as silk, and eyes crystal blue, looked at the saintesses who had just arrived in the area.
“What happened?” That boy questioned with a pride filled voice.
“We found Adam. But we could not confirm if he was another Fate Weaver like you or not. According to the reports, he seemed like a normal human, but his power levels were not visible, so we couldn’t clarify,” Pisces spoke as she kept her head down.
“Was there anything special about him? Something extraordinary?”
The white-haired child was particularly interested in Adam. He was interested from the moment he heard a human defeated a Demi-God. He wanted to meet Adam at any cost. And confirm if Adam was like him or not.
“According to reports, everything that was known about him was either told by him or by his brothers. He was in the Inverse Realm before this, and before that, he was in the Aurelian Empire. Apart from that, everything we know is unknown.”
“The only thing noticeable and extraordinary about him was the fact that he can use both Light and Dark Magic at once.”
Both the saintesses focused on only Adam.
This was because the one who opened the gate and the one who fought against the inspector were ‘Wesker’ and ‘Morpheus’ respectively.
And they were not the target of the investigation.
“That is something even I can do. I can do it even better,” the child of mana played with all the elements in front of him, even those that others didn’t know existed as if they were nothing.
“Perhaps my hunch was wrong. Just keep an eye out for him. Nothing more,” he sighed, as if he lost another toy to play with.
And once again, he closed his eyes as he sat down and began to meditate. While the 4 saints and the saintess kept standing, watching him with a mesmerized expression.
