Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2908: 590: Sauron’s Golden Finger
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
In the immense astral realm, how many souls endure such trials? Does the Star Ancestor, hidden in the depths, grasp every detail? It's beyond my knowledge.
Time slips by eventually.
I will also chase after death.
Just the demise of a Level 11 being can finally calm the mighty giants.
Back in that year, fate brought me to this universe, where I began as a simple farmer. Blessed by the Heaven and Earth Bell, I discovered a shattered fragment of a [wordless stone tablet] while tilling the soil. It appeared man-made, though it held no writings.
Who could have imagined that this very stone tablet would serve as my only anchor, as a transmigrator, through a grim and turbulent age? Leaning on it, I rose to become a Legendary Wizard, slowly revealing fragments of a lost history as my power grew and I journeyed through the Multidimensional Plane.
That's when I understood: this stone tablet was truly a piece of a Primordial Relic. The ancients' name for it escapes me; I called it the [Wisdom Tablet].
It stands as the "Torch of Wisdom," the "Prometheus," and the astral world's "Restrictor" that locks away knowledge, trapping all creatures in darkness.
Once buried deep in the astral world, it acted like a fortress wall, a veil, a set of shackles... shielding our sight from the truths around us, clouding our minds from grasping laws, binding our hands from building tools.
With its influence, deities could propagate their faiths with greater ease, guaranteeing that the common folk stayed tied to the divine, unable to strengthen themselves, forbidden from gaining knowledge, remaining sightless, obedient, fearful, desensitized, stripped of any power for original thinking.This represents a mental toxin that strikes straight at the core of ideas!
As wizards gained prominence, the Heavenly Father vilified me, misleading the naive masses, inventing the false tale of the [Seven Knights of the Sky]...
The holy one generously shared their corpse among the seven knights, granting them divine swiftness, stamina, bravery, soul, might, bodily protection, and insight.
They accused me, Sauron, of devouring the saint's mind to acquire cleverness. They insisted the knights' power stemmed from the saint's benevolence too.
God cherishes every person... What nonsense! Cherish your own damned self!
I never consumed a brain; I refuse to risk some prion sickness.
In the dawn of the Primordial Era, amid the cosmic blast, the [Wisdom] Primordial Spirit emerged, designed to refine rules and awaken intelligence in all life. Had it progressed as intended, it would have dissolved naturally, much like time, space, and fellow Primordial Entities, merging into the cosmos to let creatures advance and absorb wisdom.
However, similar to the [Evolution Stone Plate], the [Wisdom Tablet] fell into the astral world's clutches and got sealed off, blocking the realm from true understanding, halting folks from awakening to reality!
Those pests dread the spread of enlightenment far too much.
For [Wisdom] holds boundless potential in both heights and depths; it's erratic, beyond mastery, and once unleashed, its course defies prediction.
It serves as the sacred tool for unveiling cosmic principles.
It functions as the blade for dissecting every secret.
Through the Snow Goddess, revered also as the Ancestor of Frost Giants, I uncovered the [Heavenly Will], a mighty artifact from bygone eras.
He even advanced ideas on the [Evolution Stone Plate] and [Bloodline], and forged the Way of Barbarian Totems, though he couldn't break free from faith's chains. That's no failing of his, nor a lack of brilliance.
Across those ancient epochs, his [Wisdom] remained shackled by the [Restrictor], so despite racking his mind endlessly, he never envisioned the [Wisdom Tablet].
The potency of the Wisdom Tablet causes every creature to instinctively erase it from memory, shrouding it eternally in history's mist and thought's void.
This marks the 404 rule of this other realm!
This realm demands a "Tiger Gate Smoke Clearing"!
Thus, following the Ancestor of Frost Giants' shattering of the [Evolution Stone Plate], I believe it was their successor who crushed the [Wisdom Tablet].
That figure, who reached the Supreme Realm ahead of me, was the Ultimate CreationKaz, the most formidable supreme force beyond the Giant World across all ages.
Purely in battle prowess, I fall short of them, yet as the Ancestor of Frost Giants noted, bloodline alone won't suffice against giants.
Kaz met defeat and vanished from the way, perhaps lurking in wait for a later revival, a mighty return, but accomplished something vital before the end.
Building upon the foundations laid by these forerunners and titans, I entered a more favorable time and setting, even securing the [Wisdom Tablet] shard via my transmigrator's luck. Hence, my wizard's journey unfolded without hitches.
I recognize that my achievements as Sauron today stem not from my own unmatched talent or diligence, but from the mold of the times.
Favorable gales demand force to propel me toward the blue heavens!
Yet the times can elevate me merely to the standard Supreme Realm, unable to challenge the giants' decree or rise against the Star Ancestor.
Therefore, ahead lies my turn to lead the times.
Through my schemes, my might, my labors, my insight, my culture, I shall craft an epoch robust enough to rattle the Giant World, unleashing waves never seen before... so vast they might topple the exalted ones on high!
Leveraging this golden era for the boon of timing and terrain!
Harnessing a spirit alien to this cosmos as the edge of human accord!
To spark a colossal shift that reshapes the skies and lands!
In times of plenty, all serve as mere dogs; in disorder, true champions rise!
Only by plunging the whole Multidimensional Plane into a cauldron of strife!
Can the overlooked warriors in the shadows grasp a spark of survival's light.
Whether the cosmos stays in turmoil falls to the Abyss's judgment.
This chess match ignites from this point.
...
The Easter egg's tale cuts off suddenly.
