Enter Me! The Skillionaire Says In Parentheses

Chapter 196 - Ouroboros Storytelling: The Big Three

The Elders sat on the white ground, hugging their knees like a child listening to their grandma's interesting story.

"Other than the Illfraz, these two Primordial Races were the Onis, and the Dragons. Some of you might have met with one of them by now albeit not their Primordial counterpart because the Onis and the Dragons from this world are still independent as their own."

"Ehem. I noticed that the lores upon the Neamh World Line is actually quite long as it was made by an intricate grand scheme that is seemingly causing a great chain reaction with one another.

"Just to reduce the quantity of words I'm going to breathe, I'll simplify the whole scale of things into fast tiny bits."

""Awww.""

All of the Elders groaned their disappointment, especially when the story started to become interesting with every bizarre concept being thrown into the basket.

The two totems that represent the Oni and the Dragon Slowly ascended to the air, orbiting one and another. The eyes of the spectators were mesmerized. With eyes closed, the infinity serpent waved her hand, the motion of her fingers manifested numerous colorful dust that rose and formed a translucent screen.

Illustration of the two leaders of both races stood facing each other with resolution. The infinity serpent then continued her speech.

"These two makers of cataclysm had come on top due to their pride and brute tendency. As the war of the Primordial rages on, both of them settle a pact so that they can rule the entirety of the cosmic civilization with their combined strength.

"The Illfrazes, who were made out of pure mana resonance to make up their existence, saw great distortions in their near future.

"They glimpsed the vision of pandemic-like chaos surging from the rulership of those both powerhouse families. Everything and eventually the neighboring World Line will fall into dystopia, they thought."

The infinity serpent manifested an intricate frowning wood mask and placed it on her face. "One of the Illfrazes council members spoke out his distress, 'Eventually, every reality ever transcribed within the churning transcendence will succumb into perpetual madness. We must stop this at all costs!'. As he bit his lips, his gaze was upon the table once again."

She then switched her mask with another one, representing the other member of the Ilfrazes council. "'The Onis were only there for the war to sate their barbarian addiction of spilling as much as blood as they can. The true problem is the Dragons! They always make it harder for everyone and they won't stop their influence until they are able to harness our kin!'"

With just a sway from her finger, the Infinity serpent created another different mask, roleplaying the next character on the council. "'I don't really care about what happened to the other reality, but because it risked our own, I think we need to intervene in the Great Cataclysm soon'." She then unmasked herself. "Everyone within the council is plunged into fear until one of their bright youth shouted into the hollow scene."

The infinity serpent then manifested the mask of white with a determined look, representing purity and self confidence. "'Everything won't lead to this road if we still have Humanity within this World Line.'" She then unmasked herself. "The unlingered word has been avoided for eons by many Primordial after the Judgement Day, hearing those words again made the elderly plow their cynical thinking and fear at the same time.

"But one of them cast aside this trivial history for the good of their universe, and asked the bright youth what she meant." The infinity serpent then wore the same white mask again. "'The concept of Humanity has been feared amongst our society for many unbecoming tyrants since the last Great Fall. But after going back to the history and learning their fingerprint, now I have the confidence to implore my idea.

"The Humans are impure! Yes, they are indeed. The sole reason why Heaven cast an absolute judgment to Humanity was actually because they are afraid of what they could become!

"In just less than a million years, they built culture and rules! They understood the law of the jungle more than any Beast ever did! Just imagine! They saw another being flying in the sky, and in less than a thousand years, they shred the cloud with a colossal iron bird to do their bidding!

"They could replicate the firepower of ArchDragon with just atoms! If it was not clear enough—All of the Primordials were afraid of Humanity since the beginning of time! Only when we unleash back Humanity in its place, we are able to prevent the Great Cataclysm to befall upon us!'" She then unmasked herself. "Hearing that speech struck the heart of the council member.

"The Illfrazes then began their own grand scheme. With the use of propaganda, they've managed to slowly brainwash their civilians to think that only the most mature pupa of Humanity could give them salvation. And also the illusion that they were actually able to come to existence because of the concept of Humanity. This action made by the Illfraz Leader wasn't actually bad because Illfrazes were the most humane Primordial at that time.

"One mustn't forget their benevolent kin in the test of time. The Illfrazes truly believed that only when humans exist once again could they somehow preserve their future.

"Utilizing the very core of their civilization, they constructed a time portal that could go back eons in time.

"Their plan? Go back to the past, and guide the Humanity like a masked shepherd from the darkness and make sure that they survive the tribulation that was named the Judgement Day many cataclysms from then on.

"But just as they thought that they were close to their goal. The Dragons had already sent their spy to the Illfrazes' ranks.

"They tampered with the rune formation of the time portal in the hope that it will prevent the Illfrazes from reaching their goal. Neither of the sides know what kind of a terrifying mistake that they have made.

"Due to that sabotage, the time portal became so unstable that not only it punctured space and time to the past, it also ripped a giant vacuum that condenses the entirety of the universe into the exit on the other side. Many died and the dim stars were shattered into nothing because of the huge pressure from the vacuum.

"Only those within their own personal realm, not minding with the war and going about with their business, survived what the Illfrazes known in our tongue as the Great Rip."

"Why do they put 'Great' into everything?" Tuli raised her hand.

The infinity serpent maintained her perfect smile. "As much as I wanted to know their tendency, I'm not actually and Illfrazes myself and I've only met with few of them till this date.

"The Illfrazes didn't notice or conscious of this; however, they celebrate it when they have successfully brought their entire civilization into the past! What they didn't know was that they brought everything with them."

Foel giggled. "That is actually a bit funny. Imagining them bringing all of their possibly many arch nemesis with them would be absolutely exhalarating."

"Why do you assume that the Illfrazes have many arch nemesis?" Damascus wryly smiled.

With a nonchalant expression, Foel raised her forefinger. "Well, firstly, they sound like a selfish bastard who only cares for themselves. Second, their great specialization in mana means that there will be much competition and jealousy for those who want to see them fall. Third, because they were also quite prideful, they might have pissed off many other Primordials in the past."

"How about the Illfrazes at this moment?" Primis asked the infinity serpent.

"Apparently, most of them have abandoned their civilization. Not to mention, they were severely hated by the other Primordials because of what they've done."

Tuli nodded in agreement. "That's fitting, I would have done that too if I was at the other Primordial's position when this happened."

"Is this the reason why many Primordials didn't meddle much with Neamh?" Foel caressed her chin. "Is it because they were still afraid or because they forgot it all and are just prideful and see us as mere ants?"

"It's quite a little bit of both actually." The infinity serpent leaned forward as she morphed the illustration on the translucent screen into a diverse showcase of culture. The Noble Vampire could be seen sipping at her cup of artificially flavored-enhanced blood bag. At one frame, there was the kind giant crafting a perfect ornament for their home, and many more peaceful activities. "They were actually going to the more peaceful path after the Dragon was weakened. The Onis had also broken their alliance and continued to hold a private alcoholic party at their own explosive pace.

"They saw humanity as a chore now and more of an annoying insect that they wanted to avoid. Although not all of them bore the same mindset.

"Some were actually wanting to help but because they were afraid of the influence of anything that could change the course of humanity's nature, they held back their fangs that wanted to sink onto the blood of Angels and Calamities.

"And that is! The story of how the cornerstone of this abomination of the World Line came to be."
