Every member of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden had two identificators. One of them was Major Arcana, which was like the member’s signature. Another one was the Code, which was the cover name under which the member was operating in the world.
Mine Code was Samiel Zentaur.
“From current members of the Orden, how many of them are from the Astral Boundary Universe, Deus Ex Machina?”
I called Okhwang his Code, Deus Ex Machina, while his Major Arcana was ironical, The Emperor.
“From current six, 4 are natives of your Universe. I am native to the other Universe, though I was reborn in many Universes to absorb their cultivation systems. Aside from me, Rot Spinne is not from Astral Boundary, though he is Traveller. He travels across Universes and doesn’t stay in one for a longer period of time. Also, Mercurius, while a native of Astral Boundary, doesn’t care about almost anything and is only an observer. And Christof Lohengrin usually sleeps and wakes up once per millennia.”
Answered Okhwang. I was surprised about things he ever said about himself, but I wasn’t that surprised.
Basically, you can truth another member of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden at 100%, as betrayal is impossible thanks to the Arcana Cards infused with our souls.
“What is your home Universe like?”
I asked him.
“Did you know that I created Three Realms in Draconic Deus as an experiment? I wanted to combine various cultivation systems across several universes, but it didn’t go very well. I am a cultivator, but not like these here, the true one, from Universe you can call Cultivation Universe, the most common type of Universe. I came from the Ancient Dao Universe, a place stronger than Astral Boundary, which is logical as Ancient Dao Universe is really ‘Ancient’ in every sense. There are countless powerhouses, and people with strength like Great Red are basically everywhere. Many of them were old, billions of Terran years.”
He explained with a sense of nostalgia on his face. At the same time, I was shocked listening to his description of his home.
“What about you?”
He asked me.
“When I died, it was the 25th Millenium by our dating system, also called the Golden Age of Technology. I was a scientist in the Solar Federation tasked with weapon research. We didn’t have a name for our Universe, as only explored part of it was just one Galaxy, called Milky Way Galaxy, and it was a shithole. There were constant wars among species, and we waged war against Orks, sometimes with Aeldari or other species. Aeldari were the most advanced species in my homeland; they ruled a large part of the Milky Way Galaxy and had strong psychic-like powers. Once I want to return and plunder all technology from those arrogant pointy-eared bastards.”
I talked a bit about my homeland.
“Aeldari? Aeldari… where I have heard that…”
Muttered Okhwang as he tried to remember the name of Aeldari.
“Oh! I remember now. It is the Immaterius Universe. God damm it, you really came from a shitty place. I heard from rumors that the place is like a dead zone, avoided by practically every powerhouse that has power across Universes. Apparently, something happened there that turned the entire place into one big no-go zone.”
Siad Okhwang, as I was now intrigued about what happened in my home Universe.
“Well, if you want to return there to take a look, you should probably be at least as strong as Warlock Emperor in the Astral Boundary, which would be Lord-Class for you. Immaterius Universe has become extremely dangerous these days.”
He warned me.
“Perhaps your clone can still communicate with your True Body and exchange information?”
I asked, intrigued.
“Part of that, but I got this info from the annual meeting of Longinus Dreizhen Orden. At the last meeting, Christof Lohengrin said that two newly advanced Pale Blood Ancestors stole some space-time artifact from the depths of the Divine Blood Plane, an Ancestral Home of all Pale Blood and Kindreds, and in their infinity arrogance and stupidity, by some accident they managed to open a portal to Immaterius Universe. When they arrived, the place seemed ordinary without a strong presence, but soon they were attacked and nearly killed. Fortunate enough, they managed to escape back to the Astral Boundary, while the artifact was destroyed by something there.”
Said Okhwang.
I was now surprised as I knew that Ancestor rank among the Pale Blood and Kindreds was the same as Dimensional-Class for Devils, Holy Spirit Warlock for Warlocks, or Supreme God Stage.
Hearing two existences on that level could barely escape with their lives was absolutely baffling after several seconds of battle. Apparently, the waters of my homeland were far deeper than anyone in the Solar Federation could have predicted.
“Don’t worry… I won’t be going there anytime soon, or anywhere… unless we tore down the Dimensional Gap.”
I said.
“Tearing down that pathetical spell formation is not that problematic. Though I cannot do it, as I am not a magician and don’t follow your power system, we can do it together with ease.”
Said Okhwang with disdain.
“Can’t you destroy it with pure force?”
I asked him.
“I can, but that would lure here practically every existence on Dimensional-Class from surrounding planes. Probably tens of Holy Spirit Warlocks, Magister Arcanists and Monsters, and Supreme Gods would arrive and probably kill everything here. And this clone body of mine must return intact to the Ancient Dao Universe without a fault.”
Answered Okhwang seriously.
“I have wanted to ask, what exactly is the purpose of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden?”
I asked, like one would say, a million-dollar question.
“Longinus Dreizhen Orden has many purposes, but the main and primary one was to create an organization to help its members get stronger and gather information across Astral Boundary. Later Mercurius invited Rot Spinne and me, so it stretched its influence to other Universes. Its goal is to help its members to sit upon a Divine Throne.”
Answered Jade Emperor Okhwang seriously.
