I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 226

Chapter 56 Fairy Forest (6)

‘Refreshing Wind’, a mint tea specialty store located right near the ‘Cradle of the World Trees’.

Several fairies, including Deanna, had rented the entire building and were sitting on the second floor, waiting for Shion, who had been banned, to come back out.

“There’s something you’re looking for…” … .”

A low murmur flowed from Deanna’s mouth as she took a sip of the top-quality mint coffee in front of her.

“What on earth are you looking for in the cradle?”

I’ve been thinking about Zion ever since he went inside, but nothing in particular came to mind.

The reason the cradle was banned was because the World Tree existed within it, and there was no contact whatsoever between Zion and the World Tree.

No, as far as she knew, this was the first time Shion had visited the Fairy Forest.

‘Are you trying to get branches or leaves of the World Tree? Then you don’t have to go in directly, you can just make a request… … Something else worth taking… … for a moment.’

While Deanna was thinking about that, an item suddenly popped into her mind.

‘A token of eternity!’

A ring left behind by the Eternal Emperor in the past as a token of his rule over the Fairy Forest.

Zion, the successor to the Eternal Emperor, could have tried to obtain the ring.

‘The question is, why are they suddenly aiming for a token at this time? … .’

Since it is simply an item that has been around forever, there is no way you would want to get it.

‘Ha, that’s difficult.’

Despite guessing what she was looking for, Deanna let out a small sigh as her thoughts got blocked again.

If Zion was the problem, Deanna could confidently say that this was the first time in her life that she had never encountered a problem of this degree that was so unresolved.

‘No, it’s not that it’s unresolved, it’s more accurate to say that it’s completely unknown.’

With that thought in mind, Deanna shook her head slightly and turned her gaze towards Liu Sina, who was drinking mint tea and happily at the table across from her.

“I want to ask you one thing.”

Her mouth opens immediately.

“What? “I’m in a good mood right now, so I’ll answer everything!”

Deanna immediately got to the point after hearing the extremely cheerful words of the witch.

“How much do you know about Zion?”

In fact, waiting for Zion to come out was actually an excuse, and Deanna’s real purpose for being here was this.

This blood mage named Lina is a close associate who has been by Sion’s side since she was transformed, so she should know more about Sion than anyone else.

Therefore, she planned to get information about Zion from here.

However, Liu Sina’s subsequent answer was not very satisfactory.

“I don’t know either. “The owner has never talked about himself.”

“ah… … .”

As Deanna’s face showed disappointment, Liu Sina continued speaking.

“But if there’s one thing I know, is that I’m incredibly strong? And the power shown now is not everything. Now that I’m talking about it, there are two things?”

“That wasn’t everything?”

Deanna’s eyes wavered, as if she was remembering the overwhelming power that Sion showed when fighting the blood dragon yesterday.

That alone was enough power to be within three fingers of all the beings she knew.

But that doesn’t mean it’s a complete display of power.

“Then how much original power is there?”

“huh? “Don’t you already know?”

“What is that… … .”

“You killed one of the archdukes at the border last time. In fact, the owner did it alone. “It’s known in the world that everyone works together.”

“… … !”

Deanna’s shaking eyes begin to dilate to the point where they can no longer grow.

“How is that possible… … .”

Soon, a trembling voice was about to come out of her mouth.

“!!!!!!”

Deanna suddenly stopped speaking and her gaze shifted.

No, not only her, but the heads of all the people there began to turn to one place.

Their gaze was directed toward the entrance to the cradle where Zion had entered a moment ago.

From there, a transcendental presence that was so overwhelming that they could not even properly perceive it was making their bodies stiffen.

It feels as if a huge snake has wrapped its entire body.

at that time,

“D-Your Highness Deanna!”

A fairy knight ran up to the second floor with an urgent cry.

“S-It’s an attack! now… … !”

It was the moment when the next words were about to come out of the knight’s mouth.

“Has work become fun?”

With an eerie smile drawn at the corner of Liu Sina’s mouth,

Hwaaaaaaaaa!

A ray of light that started from behind the knight made people’s vision glow and completely blew away the entire building.

* * *

Zion knew what this phenomenon meant.

Because I’ve already experienced it once, no, many times before.

‘When a godhead or a being comparable to him descends into the world.’

In fact, the owner of the voice that appeared before Shion’s eyes had a personality worthy of it.

A beautiful woman with grass-colored hair and eyes that seem reminiscent of nature itself.

Zion could easily guess the existence of such a woman.

‘Archenidia.’

God of nature and spirits.

Considering the appearance, felt energy, and location, there was no way it could be another god.

‘Seeing as you mentioned me as a contract, I guess you must be one of the gods who made a contract with me in the past.’

When Shion thought this as she saw Archenidia walking towards her with a fresh smile like her voice,

“I really wanted to see you again.”

The goddess’s mouth opened once again.

There was a lot of joy in his voice, as if what he said was true.

“You seem quite happy to see me. “Maybe you had a relationship with me in the past?”

When Shion asked, puzzled by the kind of favor she had never seen from Luminous or Loki whom she had met before, Arkenidia smiled even brighter and answered.

“sure. “You may not remember, but I received great help from you in the past.”

Although it was not her intention to get caught while subduing a demonic force, the goddess did not forget that help.

Without that help, Archenidia herself would no longer have been able to exert influence in this world.

Even though they were already close enough, Shion slowly widened his distance to avoid the goddess who kept approaching and opened her mouth.

“Is the reason you came down this time to repay you for that?”

“No, I repaid you enough back then.”

“Then what is your business?”

In general, for a deity to descend to the lower world, an enormous amount of causality was consumed.

Since he took such a risk and appeared in front of me like this, he must have something important to do.

However, Archenidia’s subsequent answer was beyond Zion’s expectations.

“There is nothing like that in particular. “Like I just said, I just wanted to see you.”

With those words, the goddess slowly approached Zion and opened her mouth in a subdued tone.

“And I think you have more business to do than me?”

“… … I?”

“You may have already guessed from what I said at the beginning, but I am also one of the gods who signed a contract with you. And I still have a little bit of causality left.”

Shion’s eyes, realizing the hidden meaning of those words, took on a strange light.

Information about the contract that I hadn’t heard about before when I met Luminous and Loki.

No, to be precise, it seemed like he could hear information from the god in front of him about why he proposed to make such a contract with the gods.

It seems that Archenidia still feels great gratitude to Sion herself and created this event to repay it.

“Since you say that, let me ask you. “What was the contract I had with you in the past?”

At those words, the goddess muttered, ‘Going straight to the point hasn’t changed at all,’ and slowly began to open her mouth.

“hmm… … I will tell you as much as I can in accordance with the causality ratio that is available now. “First of all, you know that the contract you made with us brought us to this era, and that it was you who proposed that contract, right?”

Shion nodded at that.

“The reason you made such a suggestion is because of the ‘power’ you have.”

“By that power, do you mean the Black Star?”

“that’s right. It is the power that returns everything to nothingness, and it is a power that should not be here in the first place… … .”

Arkenidia looked with bored eyes for a moment at the six black stars shining in Zion’s eyes, and then spoke.

“You know what? The stars you have. “Those stars are actually shackles and keys.”

“Shackles and keys?”

“is it so. Have you ever thought about it? “Why is it that only he can use that power in this world, or rather in this universe?”

Shion nodded once again.

I’ve thought about it countless times in the past, but I’ve never once gotten a proper answer.

There was no one to ask, and there were no similar cases.

“The reason is simple. That power and you are the same being. So, it does not mean that you have power, but that the power itself is you.”

At that moment, Shion’s eyebrows twitched.

It wasn’t because I was surprised to hear it for the first time.

This was because I realized what Archenidia had just meant by the shackles and keys.

“… … “The very idea of ​​learning strength is wrong.”

“that’s right. The power of negation you possess. It was complete from the beginning. “There were just restrictions.”

And the shackles of those restrictions and the key to breaking them were Heukseong.

In other words, from the beginning, Black Star was not a concept of accumulating power, but rather played a role in releasing the limitations of one’s original power one by one.

“You knew that in the past. “Because you were the one who told me about this in the first place.”

Shion looked at Arkenidia for a moment as she said that, then asked her again.

“Then why are these restrictions placed on me?”

“I don’t know that, but… … “I just have a guess.”

With those words, the goddess closed her eyes for a moment as if remembering something, then opened them and continued.

“In the past, I overheard gods higher than me talking about you. Then they… … They said it was a being from . So maybe that has something to do with it.”

A noise heard in the middle of Archenidia’s words.

Because he had already experienced it once when talking to Loki in the past, Shion was able to know that the phenomenon was a locking caused by causality.

‘Then it’s the same thing as back then… … .’

Shion had an intuitive feeling that the word being locked was related to the word ‘outside’ that he had heard from Gwangryong in the past in the floating city.

‘There is a high probability that the worries I was having at the time were also related to this.’

Shion thought about him for a moment, then looked at Arkenidia again and opened his mouth.

“Then I guess the reason I made that suggestion to you was because of restrictions.”

Otherwise, there would be no need to bring up this story now.

“That’s right, you understand quickly as expected.”

The goddess snapped her fingers.

“Actually, since you weren’t the type to explain the reason in the past, I don’t know for sure and can only assume that’s the case.”

“… … .”

Shion thought that his guess was probably correct.

The black star he achieved was 8 stars.

My past self didn’t see any reason to go above that, but I may have changed my mind after that.

‘So that means he couldn’t rise up in the end and made a contract with the gods.’

How strong was the last limitation that even my past self couldn’t break through?

Or maybe it wasn’t due to restrictions in the first place, or there could be another reason.

There was only one way to guess it.

After thinking about it, Sion looked at Arkenidia again.

“I want to ask you one last thing.”

“Yes, as much as you want.”

“What did I ask for in return for my contract with the gods?”

One of the most essential questions, and one that may provide the answer to many of Zion’s current questions.

“that… … .”

In response to that question, the goddess’s mouth slowly began to open.
