The World Serpent

Statera was gazing upon the silver-haired girl who had intruded her office. The young girl was the Occidental Guardian, the Great Ruler of Azathoth, Persia. Amongst the Five Supremes of the Great Forest. Statera never expected Persia to visit her during the Great War. If Persia did visit her, it must have been very important.

As Statera\'s words echoed in the office, Persia smirked and replied with an aloof voice. "You know me well, Senior Statera. I do need something from you. It is very important for the Army of mine that needs to awaken." Hearing Persia\'s reply, Statera raised an eyebrow and released a simple smile. 

"There is no need to be mysterious and serious, Junior Persia. As your Senior, I will do anything to help you. After all, you are my dear Junior." Statera\'s simple smile started turning into a sly smile. Persia, who saw it, only smirked further as if she was having fun mentally provoking Statera.

"Then, I\'ll be honest. I want Senior Statera to use her Origin Skill and give life to this construct." Persia took out the Nexus Box given by Ego. Statera swiftly turned her gaze towards the metallic and smooth box. Persia\'s favor wasn\'t that big though it appears that the favor was important for Persia. 

"It\'s not that much, Junior Persia. I\'ll do what I can to help you. Let me take a look at the box first." Statera placed her pale hand on the table and opened it up. Persia looked at Statera\'s smiling expression and turned her gaze downwards towards her hand, which was suspiciously closing and opening. 

Persia shook her head after thinking for a while and gave the Nexus Box to Statera. Statera held the smooth and metallic box under her pale fingers and was surprised at what it was. Such a construct was something impossible to build even with the combined technology of everyone in the Realm of Piksyon. No wonder her Junior Sister was serious about the favor. 

"This might take a while. Give me five minutes, also, I\'d like for Little Junior to be with me during the process." Statera smiled as she stood up from her chair. She has been sitting and reading through the reports for hours. Despite being the strongest being in the Great Forest, she couldn\'t help but feel back pain.

After standing up, Statera started stretching her body. Her Two Gigantic Planets revealed themselves, which instantly caught the attention of Persia. It was to be expected from the strongest to have the biggest. Fortunately, she wasn\'t an airport, or her confidence would be dragged down onto the mud.

"Follow me, Little Junior," Statera said as she faded from the spot. Persia looked at the table of the office and shook her head once again. Fortunately, she had Ego to take care of the Logistics for her. Persia then faded along with Statera as they were about to give life to the Nexus Box.

Deep within the capital city of Statera, two figures were walking in a long metallic hallway. They were the Great Rulers of Azathoth and Astra. Persia was following Statera, who was leading the way. It appears that the process of giving life was a lot more complicated than expected. 

"The Origin Skill Life is a complicated yet simple skill. Creating life has its own price, and the price for this Origin Skill is personal energy. Also known as Anima. If you do not know what Anima is, It is the energy that comes from the Soul Core. A Pure yet Scarce Energy."

Statera started explaining the Origin Skill Life. As it was touching upon the concepts of Life, along with the concepts of Death. It was clear that Statera had some grand understanding of the reality between the beginning and the end. Persia would want to know the secret, but it would be offensive to ask something important.

"As I said before, the more complicated the Life is, the more Anima it needs to come to fruition. This is the reason why I need your help. After all, I need your energy to create the thing you wanted to be born." Statera uttered with a calm voice as Persia found herself confused. 

"Is your current Anima Energy low, Senior Statera?" Persia questioned as she was sure that a Great Ruler of the Spirits like Statera would have an ocean worth of Anima. Statera stopped walking after hearing the words of Persia and slightly chuckled. 

"No, no, My Anima Energy Reserves is far from low. The reason why I want your Anima Energy is quite simple. Anima is like the Soul Energy Signature. What would happen if the Soul Energy Signature was completely under me?" Statera questioned as she continued walking in the metallic hallway. 

"The Life from the Nexus Box would be completely made by you and would treat you like its Creator. I see, that would destroy the reason why I wanted to ask for your favor." Persia finally had some realization about the Origin Skill of Life. 

"Correct, that is why I want to use your Anima instead of mine. So, shall we start?" Statera uttered as the two of them were met with a metallic door. The metallic door slid open as the two Great Rulers entered and found themselves in a vast underground basement with nothing other than themselves. 

As they had arrived at their destination, Statera started to activate the Origin Skill of Life within her. A Bright Light slowly escaped her body and enveloped the basement in an instant. Persia looked at it from afar and smiled with satisfaction. Statera has been studying her Origin Skill well.

\'Now that I think about it, I haven\'t been using or even studying my newly gained Origin Skills. Well, my time is pretty close-packed. It is hard for me to study or even train myself, which is rather disappointed as others have been studying their Origin Skills.\' Persia sighed as she was disappointed in herself. 

Persia has been gaining Origin Skills like random cabbages in the forest. Mastering each of them would take a lot of time for someone like her. Studying wasn\'t her talent, and she doubted she would be intelligent enough to open the mysteries of the Origin Skill. 

For simple words, Persia didn\'t want to study before, now, and after. She would rather fight someone to death than stay in a single room, chair, and table for hours to come. Who does that in the Realm of Piksyon? Such were Persia\'s thoughts. Though it appears that Statera would have done what Persia thought about. 

Statera started to gather the scattered radiant light onto her pale hands. It was as if she was charging the Origin Skill to achieve optimal results. After a while, Statera crouched and placed Nexus Box in front of her. After placing the Nexus Box to her front, Statera put her pale hands onto the ground and started performing the Origin Skill of Life. 

"Persia, it has now started. I\'ll need your Anima for the signature of the box." Statera uttered with a calm voice as a use force was pushing them onto the ground. Persia nodded as she walked towards Statera and stood right beside her. After reaching Statera\'s side, Persia asked with her serene voice. "What do I do?"

"Place your hand atop my hand and send your Anima through it. I\'ll then start constructing its soul using the Anima you gave." Statera answered as Persia nodded in understanding and started to release some of the winds within her Soul Core towards the hand of Statera. As she released her Anima to Statera, a black light then illuminated from both of their hand.

It appears that it was the Anima Energy sent by Persia. Statera felt the pure amount of energy on her hand. She smiled as numerous archaic circles formed around the two of them. The construction of the Soul was starting. It was time to make a life out of the two of them.

"Let there be life within the Void of Nothingness, Let there be color within the Canvas of the Abyss, Let there be chaos within the Frozen Darkness, and Let there be intelligence to light up the Flames of Civilizations." Statera started uttering the construction method of the Origin Skill Life. 

The Nexus Box began levitating as it started sucking out everything within the Underground Basement. Persia, who was holding Statera\'s hand, felt the strong sucking power of the Nexus Box. Persia didn\'t bother the strange feeling as she needed the Nexus Box to complete, or all their efforts would be for naught. 

After a while, the Nexus Box fully devoured the Anima energy it needed to awaken. Everything went back to normal as the two Great Rulers stood back up and started stretching their bodies. Persia and Statera started stretching their bodies as Persia couldn\'t help but utter with a tired voice. 

"That was quite tiring... I wouldn\'t want to do that ever again." Persia groaned as Statera chuckled upon hearing her words. The two of them looked at the Nexus Box on the floor, which was still illuminating brightly. The illumination got stronger and stronger as its brightness devoured the whole Underground Basement. 

The two Great Rulers didn\'t have any reaction to the bright light. Though there was one thing that made Persia surprised. A Young Girl with Sky Azure Hair, along with a single Golden Amber Iris and a Red Crimson Iris. She was the Nexus Box who was brought to life by the two Great Rulers.. Though, she does look like an 8-year-old girl.
