The World Serpent

In the Peak of the Great Plateau in the Central Part of the Occidental Region. A brilliant light shone over everything above and below the Great Plateau. Within the light that illuminated the Great Plateau was a Dark Monolith erected from the ground. It was the physical manifestation of the Origin Skill known as the Dominion Authority. 

The brilliant light slowly faded within the peak of the Great Plateau. The erected Dark Monolight got enveloped and surrounded by a Serpentine Statue resembling the Demon Serpent, also known as the Master of the Inquisition. With the brilliant light fading, Ego and Trio finally had a good view of the situation. They saw Persia calmly standing beside the Dark Monolith, which kept pulsating. 

The Trio found themselves curious as they didn't know what happened to their Master and what the Dark Monolith was. Though, it seemed that their Teacher Ego wasn't worried about their Master. With Ego's reaction, the Trio immediately understood that there was no threat in the situation in front of them. What the Three Demon Crescents had thought was correct. After all, Persia was talking with the System deep within her mind.

Persia found herself covered by an Eternal Darkness of the Void. Persia started her investigation of the Eternal Dark Realm and instantly had a conclusion. She understood that she was deep within the System. She also knew that it was about the activation of the Dominion Authority. It means that her transfer into the Dark Realm of the System might be because of the Dominion Authority.

Persia started moving her limbs within the Darkness. There was nothing strange, and despite not seeing a single thing. Persia felt her body when she began moving it. It seems that only her sight got affected by the Dark Realm. Her remaining senses were still active within it. Persia sighed and started stretching her limbs. 

"I never thought that it would take a while for me to activate the Dominion Authority. Hmm, Well. I do understand the delayed activation as I didn't even have enough time to manage the Inquisition." Persia couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment. Despite being the Master, she was the only person that didn't do much in the Inquisition. 

"Calling myself, Master. While not spending time on the organization I built is annoying. I should probably start investing my time in the Inquisition. After creating the Nation, I should give them a mission to check every Group of Creatures in the Occidental Region." Persia nodded to herself in agreement as she might do this after building the Fortress. It was a good idea for Persia, though Ego might have to train the Demon Crescents about diplomacy. 

A Bright Light then illuminated the Eternal Darkness that completely covered Persia. It instantly grabbed Persia's attention as Persia looked at it and started walking towards it. As Persia arrived in front of the Bright Light, A Window then formed. She squinted her eyes and looked at it with her curious expression. 

"Hmm... What does this say?" Persia questioned as she carefully looked through the Bright Light in front of her. The System Window in front of her was intriguing. Persia started reading it as it seemed to be the only thing she could do within the Dark Realm of the System. 

[The User has completely activated the Dominion Authority.]

[Due to the complexity of the Dominion Authority, The System has considered helping the User by interacting with the Dominion Authority herself. Does User agree with the System Interaction?]

'Does it want to make the Dominion Authority a feature? Well, I am used to using the System. If it does simplify a lot of things, Then the agreement of its interaction with the Dominion Authority would be necessary.' Persia thought to herself and nodded while gazing upon the System Window. 

After 5 seconds of staring at the System Window, Persia finally had concluded within her mind. She rotated her neck and replied to the System. "I agree." Her voice echoed within the Dark Realm of the System. Persia's agreement instantly got her reply. A new System Window appeared in front of Persia, which had her attention. 

[User has agreed on the System Interaction with the Dominion Authority.]

[Creating new System Features related to the Dominion Authority...]

Persia raised an eyebrow after reading the System Window. The Dark Realm of the System started pulsating as Persia looked around with her Golden Amber Eyes. Seconds passed by as the results of her choice finally appeared in front of her. A System Window appeared, and it was a lot bigger than before. It was a Gigantic Message. 

[DOES THE USER WANT TO ACTIVATE THE NEW SYSTEM FEATURE?]

'Activate the new feature.' Persia nodded as she wanted to see the new feature the System kept repeating. The System Window disappeared after Persia nodded in agreement. Everything around her slowly changed as the Eternal Dark Realm of the System changed into a Silver White Room that seemed Vast and Endless. 

Persia carefully looked around the Silver White Room she found herself in. It was the complete opposite of the Eternal Dark Realm of the System that recently stored her. 'I guess it's better than complete darkness.' Persia thought to herself as the White Room was better than not seeing a single thing. 

As Persia investigated the Vast Silver White Room, A New System Window appeared in front of her. Persia looked at it with curiosity plastered on her face as the New Feature of the System finally appeared in front of Persia.

―――――

『Dominion』

[Register]

[Nation: Unknown.]

[Territory: Unknown.]

[Ruler: Persia.]

―――――

Unfortunately, it wasn't the New Feature that Persia had hoped to see. The New System Window that recently appeared in front of her was about the registration of her Dominion. Such registration might be needed for Persia to open the New Feature. With this in mind, Persia started thinking about the Nation's Name and its Territory. 

"What do I call it?" Persia muttered to herself as she started thinking about the name of her Nation. A Demon Nation was what her Nation was. After all, every creature converted would turn into their Demonic Counterparts. What would be a name that tells that her Nation was a Demon Nation? Such question echoed within Persia's mind. 

"A Demonic Name..." Persia mumbled as she rotated the gears within her mind. As seconds passed by, Persia finally found a good name that was an excellent signification that her Nation was a Demon Nation. She looked at the System Window in front of her and smirked. She then spoke towards the System Window. 

"The Nation Name would be Azathoth." Persia's words echoed within the Silver White Room. She looked around as everything around her pulsated once again. The World Azathoh got imprinted on the Nation Name within the System Window. Persia couldn't help but release a smile though she had a new question below the Nation Name.

'My Territory?' Persia questioned herself as she started thinking about it. Her Territory would be the Occidental Region, but according to the description of the Dominion Authority. Everything within it would be under her complete control. It meant that she might not have enough power to gobble up the Occidental Region.

"How much are the territorial limits where my Dominion could hold?" Persia questioned as the System answered with a new notification in Persia's Notification Window. Persia looked at the Notification Window and started reading it with a Serious expression. After all, it was related to her territorial claims. 

[User Persia would have absolute control for about 5,000 kilometers in a radius around the Dominion Monolith. Within the 5,000 Kilometers would be under complete Dominion of the User Persia. Though, using too much of the Origin Skill might cause Energy Exhaustion. Consider this a warning.] 

"I see..." Persia nodded after reading the notification in the Notification Window. The Information she had recently gotten would mean that she could eat the whole Great Plateau, which was a piece of good news for Persia. It seems that her Territorial Claims were a lot better than what she had expected. 

"Give me maximum territory and register," Persia spoke with a calm voice as the Silver White Room pulsated. 

[Dominion Registered.]

Persia sighed in satisfaction. The only thing she needed to do was wait for the new System Window. Without wasting a second, A New System Window appeared in front of Persia. She looked at it as the New Details about her Nation got written down like her Status.

―――――

『Dominion』

[Azathoth]

●[Territory: 5,000 Kilometers in Radius of the Dominion Monolith.]

●[Population: 420.]

●[Military Power: Minor Nation of the Great Forest.]

●[Diplomacy: Great Forest(Friends) Everything(Enemies).]

●[Ruler: Persia, also known as Demon Serpent and Master of the Inquisition.]

Meanwhile, Ego and the Three Demon Crescents looked at the Dark Monolith, which pulsated nonstop. A Bright Pillar of Light shone through the Dark Monolith as it pierced through the Heavens. It then started to spread and enveloped the Skies above the Great Plateau. A Gigantic Sphere Like Barrier then formed around the Great Plateau. 

It was a Sign of a new official Nation getting born, The Nation known as Azathoth.
