Information[]
This is a secret ancient art used to create a new physical body. The legend has it that ancient titans created this which is a forbidden sorcery used to create dragons so they could break free from the obligations that bound them, [1] but that's not the magic used to create them because Aria Seshenes who's physical body was modified into this doesn't have any features related to them. The story has been told by those with short lifespans, it could easily be relayed inaccurately. It is the magic used to create the Almighty Creature. [2]
At the dawn of creation... ...the very first thing to emerge from the void... was law. According to the law of causality. Every effect has a cause. In the beginning, it gave rise to order in accordance with the law. Amidst the disorder that was yet to be organized, chaos came into being. As it became tied to causality, chaos found order, giving rise to the creation of a new law known as mana. Mana was created to shape space... and began circulating to set time in motion. The second law was fixity. Space, once entangled by mana, became fixed. Time began to flow, anchoring the world in place. The matter adrift in space was swept up by different mana currents. They then stabilized and grouped together into existence. The third law was fixed cycle. The fourth law was stability. Life birthed from the cycle... gradually grew systematic. In this way, the first rational being, the gods, came into being. To sustain their existence, they had to keep the world's cycle in motion. No longer did the laws have to intervene directly in the world. The fifth law was non-interference. The world was now guided by the direct will of the gods. The energy of life dispersed throughout the entire world. For a long time, the world continued in stability... In the ceaseless passage of time, the world remained unaltered, merely preserved. An eternity passed, and at last, there emerged those who chose the freedom of oblivion over cruel immortality. They were the Elemental Titans in charge of the spirits. Instead of existing perpetually as mere parts that sustained the world, they wished to live according to their own will even for a bried moment. And so the titans abandoned the duties entrusted to them. At last, they managed to create their own vessels... and relinquished their divinity without hesitation. [2] They created the strongest possible body capable of bearing their divine power and transferred their spirits inside. And so, they transformed into a new species known as dragons. [1]
The most destructive flame, the Elemental Titan Karlax of fire. The storm that cuts through the air, the Elemental Titan Velgaric of wind. The manifestation of brilliant light, the Elemental Titan Ameneon of light. The freezing ice crystal, the Elemental Titan Lucin of ice. The darkness that envelops all, the Elemental Titan Ahmed of darkness. The land that accepts everything, the Elemental Titan Ustrax of earth. The ever-flowing cycle, the lower elemental god Taminon of ice. [2]
And so, the first titans abandoned their godly duties... and enjoyed their freedom until their obliteration. Even with the titans gone, their descendants, the dragons, remained, free to soar the boundless sky. Despite relinquishing their divinity, they had not given up their divine power. Even the elemental gods created by the gods to replace the titans... could not escape their control. Naturally, the gods grew worried about the disruption of the world's balance. [2] The other gods became furious when the titans' absence forced them to take on their duties. [1] In order to maintain their immortality, the gods had to remove the traitors who had forsaken their roles. [2] However, they were constrained to maintain balance in the world, and had no means to punish the unruly dragons. [1] Because the moment the gods neglected their duties, they would lose their reason for being and vanish... ...Hence, they need an agent. This led to the creation of... an entity with forbidden reason, an existence that counters the law, yet whose deviation is so insignificant that it has no influence on the world. The renegades. That was how humankind came to be. [2] However, the human body was too frail. Too weak to attack individually, they fought dragons as a group. However, born within the balance of the world, the humans were no match for the dragons who were free from that balance. Instead of following their creators' will... ...humankind chose to submit to the immediate fear. The gods grew even more enraged. They began seeking means to punish the dragons, even if it meant breaking the laws. They ended up reversing the secret art that the titans had used in the past... and created the Almighty Creature. The ultimate bio-weapon to kill the dragons. [1]
Erea, the previous Queen of Sorcery of the Gaianes Empire's Southern Region of the Gaianes Empire tried to study this, having inherited some of her knowledge and by using the secret art on herself, but she never ended up succeding, however after that she got her human body back and remained human for the rest of her life, her research on this may have been unsuccessful, but she did know how to turn herself back into a human. There were remaining records somewhere in the royal palace. [3]
To complete this, Gaster Latnile captured Aria Seshenes and turned her into a chimera, and making her into this, the reason is that humans cannot perform Nineth Circle spells by the nature existence, but if they do, they can perform spells higher than that. [4]
