Chapter 330: The Black Cat (2)
"Wrixia? But why?"
Hex didn’t expect the one known as the Oldest One to be the one to influence Medina. Didn’t the cat say the tree helped absorb and, as such, contain the Divinities from destroying all life?
For power. What else?
"I still don’t get it. The Oldest One is at the Taboo Stage, it controls the center of the world, has the most variety of lifeforms...what power does it seek?"
Power, no matter how much one has, never seems enough. You believe the Old One has enough power? What about the Godking? Didn’t he have enough power? He helped create everything and ruled everything within creation, yet sought power. Power of eternity. The Gods, the Divine Lord, the Taboos, all seek that same thing. Eternal power.
"So they are afraid to die. Even with a life spanning Ages, they wish to exist through Time."
He summarized the best way he could understand the issue. He had seen plenty of people or creatures strive to live a bit longer. All, so they could fight and conspire to live a bit longer and longer.
You could put it that way.
"And why influence a little innocent girl over such an ambition?"
That baffled him more. Even if he could understand the need to exist for eternity, he still struggled to grasp how a little girl could help achieve a dream that alluded to even the Gods.
Medina wasn’t...isn’t the only one under the influence of higher powers. As far as I know, more than seventy-five percent of all life has been corrupted. Only a few, with a Will surpassing normal limits, have kept the corruption at a minimum.
