Demon Lord's Reincarnation-Chapter 705: Learning more about the Ancient Ones

After the two new Dragons and Erste's group had properly introduced each other they left the domain of the Mother of all Dragons and headed to the appointed dimension where the other generals were waiting for Erste and Frieda.

Upon arriving at the designated location the three dragons noticed the humans or the lack of them. There were only several human beings in this entire plane, upon seeing this the three dragons obviously understood what was happening.

"Heh, you humans talk about cooperation but you clearly don't trust us." Blod sneered as his aura was becoming more violent.

"Heh, you're one to talk, it was you guys who didn't trust us first. Even now you're giving us some kind of test because you don't trust us." Kamael responded his aura also becoming a little violent.

"Calm down you two, now is not the time for that. I give you my word once we have finished this mission and have established our alliance then I will personally show you three throughout our HQ." Frieda stepped in between the two before they started fighting since their fighting would only lead to bad results.

"She's right, no need to be so hostile Blod, they have the right to be on guard, since among the intelligent races they are the weakest." Despite not meaning any harm in what he said, Skatt just made the humans frown in displeasure.

"First, we need to introduce ourselves to these new human friends." Skatt showed a bright shiny smile at the humans present, who were still frowning after his earlier comment. "Allow me to introduce myself first. I am Skatt, the one who shines golden in the sea of stars, the one who upholds justice above all."

With Skatt taking the lead after some hesitation the others started introducing themselves to one another once that was done, Erste and Frieda explained what happened in the dimension of the mother of all Dragons. The other generals were quite surprised by the test that was given to them since it sounded impossible, it was a good thing the Mother of all Dragons sent three of her strongest children.

After the initial shock, the group started talking about the target.

"So who's the Ancient One that took your mother's heart no in fact what are the Ancient Ones?" Schlau asked the question every human present had.

"... The Ancient Ones are the first sentient beings created by the ORIGIN." As Skatt was trying to explain things about the Ancient Ones, Schlau once again raised his hand, so Skatt stopped first and gestured at Schlau to speak.

"Who is the ORIGIN?"

"... Wait, how much do you guys know about the Gods?" Skatt could not help but ask, even though he already knew the answer.

"Let's just say we know practically nothing." The very second Schlau said those words some of the generals wanted to retort but Shclau raised his hand stopping the others from talking. "Yeah, we know next to nothing about the ORIGIN and the Gods."

"Fine, I will explain from the beginning. The ORIGIN as the name implies is the origin of all, he created the endless universes and dimensions within. I won't go too deep into who the ORIGIN is, all you need to know is that he is basically the creator of all, directly or indirectly."

"What do you mean by that?" Hearing Kamael's question Skatt sighed as he answered.

"Not all things were directly created by the ORIGIN, there are beings like my mother and the Old Gods who were created indirectly. My mother was created by the first universe the ORIGIN created, the Old Gods were created by the Ancient Ones, making the two things indirect creations of the ORIGIN.

So anyway, that's all you need to know about the ORIGIN right now, so let's get back to the main topic the Ancient Ones."

Everyone present came closer to Skatt not wanting to miss a single detail that was about to be said.

"The first sentient beings ever to be created directly are the Ancient Ones or the so-called Ancient Gods. Of course, the first sentient being of the original universe was our mother, but that's another thing.

The Ancient Ones were created to be perfect creations that would help the ORIGIN with his loneliness and boredom, but unfortunately despite their power being the very concepts that help govern and stabilize the universes, they were not able to achieve the purpose of their creation."

"So they're failed creations?" Sayaka could not help but ask.

"Yes in a sense they are failed creations, since their primary objective was to relieve the ORIGIN of his loneliness and boredom, but they were unable to relieve either of those two things. Still, they had other uses like the stabilization of the endless universe."

"So if we kill an Ancient One will there be some kind of great repercussions?"

"Well, the Ancient Ones each embody an aspect of the universe like death, life, time, and so on, if one of them dies their core becomes the raw power of what they embodied in life so even after losing their sense of self so to say what they represent will not fade away, instead other beings that are strong enough could potentially take those things away from them.

The same thing happened when my mother Killed several Ancient Ones before, upon death my mother took over their authorities, of course not all of them since even our mother is not strong enough to contain too much of those authorities especially after she lost one of her hearts."

The more the group of humans learned the more desperate some of them felt. The enemy that they already imagined to be powerful was even more absurdly powerful than they could ever imagine.

"Later on, upon the creation of humanity, the Ancient Ones who used to have a form of neutrality started having negative and positive thoughts and emotions, which they wanted to expel that was what gave birth to the Old Gods. Those Old Gods that were created had two factions the Evil Old Gods and the supposed Righteous Old Gods."

"Wait, wait, wait! There are actual Good Old Gods, are those the kind that won't kill humans?"

"Well in a way they are in a sense Good Old Gods if you consider that don't kill humans, in fact, they don't do anything at all, not wanting to hurt anything or anybody, they remain motionless in corners of hidden dimensions that are very hard to find.

If you're thinking about asking those Gods to help you fight then forget about it, they would not dare do anything at all, they might talk to you but they will never agree to help you do anything violent like battle."

Hearing what Skatt said about the Good Old Gods, Schlau had a sly look on his face as his thoughts started spinning faster and faster.

"Still, despite expelling those unwanted emotions by creating the Old Gods, those emotions kept on coming back and the negativity was getting stronger. Due to those negative emotions, some of the Ancient Ones had the bright idea of attacking our mother. It's still unclear why they stole our mother's heart but it must be for something heinous."

"Alright then, which Ancient One has the mother of all Dragon's heart?"

"The strongest of the Ancient Ones that attacked our mother was the Ancient One who governs Death."
