"Just how did such a marvelous city fall to ruin?"

Sabrina asked as her eyes shined upon seeing the vast majestic city of the past, her intelligent mind saving everything into her memory while she soaked in the knowledge, her innate curiosity burning sky high,

"Just like all the great cities of the past, this one fell because of arrogance and greed"

The eyeball spoke, its single iris frowning, seemingly dreadful memories passing through its memory,

"The greed of the city?"

Austin asked, to which the eyeball shook sideways, denying the claim, fear being present in his voice as it spoke,

"The city fell due to the greed of the chaos faction"

"Chaos?"

Austin's eyes narrowed, his mind linking to several things he had witnessed and found during his travels,

"Sadly I can't say much but know that in the ancient era everything wasn't great, the Blood city met with a side it couldn't handle and it faced its consequence"

The eyeball said, fear and anger burning sky-high,

"Is there a restriction blocking you from speaking about everything?"

Austin suddenly asked, making the eyeball look at him, it didn't say anything but a subtle nod was given,

'It's the same as the system, just what lay hidden?'

Austin was beginning to feel that the secrets to everything that was happening to him perhaps lay in the past and for him to even get a glimpse he must start at that family, he still had the mission given to him by the system, the one asking him to bring the downfall of Shira's family, reveling its misdeeds, perhaps that would be the first step to finding out the truth,

"The Blood Monarch was extremely arrogant, his pride was sky high and he ended up pissing off someone from the Chaos side, someone of considerable power"

Reaching till here the screen that was being displayed flickered, the image displayed wasn't pretty, the beautiful blue sky had turned dark and weary, the city that seemed to be full of life now looking dead and lost, a maniac like laughter being heard all around,

"The person of Chaos was ruthless, it didn't target just the Blood Monarch, no it took everything away from him, it used a powerful authority to place a cursing genetic mutation over the power of Blood"

As the words were heard the image became much more clear, the happy citizens were no longer to be seen, their smiles are long gone, and all that remained were people convulsing on the ground, their bodies having deformities happening around, several blood bursting from their body, while madness filled them all, they looked.......chaotic.

Mothers went mad and drained their children, fathers grew hungry and feasted on their family, blood rained everywhere, and worse of the curse only activated on a few, while the ones affected spread it to the rest, it was mayhem, ones of greater power would retain their sanity but would lose control of their body.

They were forced to feel and understand as they ruthlessly killed the ones they sworde to protect, the city of Blood, known as Crour-Si-Bhel, had truly earned its name,

"This is too much"

Sabrina said in a low voice, she trying to turn her head sideways, the scene being too much for her to see, especially the part where several powerful soldiers who were smiling early, now crying rivers of blood as they killed the little kids they were teaching,

"The curse had originated from Ancestral Blood Elf, Abelardo, he was forced to watch his entire legacy being devoured while madness soon took over him"

The eyeball spoke with immense pain in its voice, the scene turned violent, and every being had become the embodiment of chaos and death, bringing about destruction, by the end of the slaughter everyone had become mind dead, while several had their hearts broken, completely turning over to the side of evil,

"That day Ancestral Blood Elf, Abelardo used the last of his great power to seal away this city, it would keep moving through the tunnels of space, holding within it the great abominations that could cause great chaos and death"

The eyeball finished its last words as the screen died down, leaving a heavy silence, Sabrina didn't have her usual look, her eyes were cold and mostly fearful, fear of what kind of beings that could have made such a horrifying and heartless punishment and the powers that could make this possible,

"I have a question"

Austin suddenly spoke taking the attention of the two,

"Ask away"

The eyeball said,

"How are you all alive till now? were you all granted immortality?"

This question hit the mark but it only made the eyeball seem more sad about their fate,

"The curse granted immortality so that the ones affected would live through a world of insanity until they submitted to Chaos or be withered away by their own mind"

This made Sabrina turn silent, while Austin had a focused look as he asked,

"I thought only Goddess could grant such immortality"

To this the eyeball didn't give any answer, it turned to look directly into Austin's eyes, its shivering iris seemingly granting him a silent yet mind-bowing answer, that turned the atmosphere silent, a sense of looming unease setting between them all after which Austin asked again,

"Then what are you?"

"I am an automated sentience built to govern over the working and management of the city"

'So you're an AI'

Austin thought, his mind comprehending how advanced the ancient times must have been, moreover he was reeling in the fact about a truth that is not certain yet,

'There existed Gods that I am unaware of''

Austin didn't like that thought, the lacking information making him feel a bit vulnerable, his whole life he stayed alive with the information that he keeps at hand, it is how he survives,

"I implore you all to leave now, you have known the truth and I am happy with it"

The AI spoke, to this Austin turned his head towards the city, his eyes scanning through what was once magnificent,

"What if we chose to enter?"

Austin said, thus bringing on another bout of silence, the AI flashed in front of Austin, its center eye lighting up, as it spoke in a grave tone,

"Then you shall be walking into death"

This didn't frighten Austin, instead, he asked another question,

"Compared to the current Era how strong are the guys in there"

This made the single-eye frown, it seemingly getting annoying,

'It seems to have emotions'

Austin noted, he was indeed interested in knowing about the strength of the being but he also wanted to see if it has genuine emotions, after all the previous display of sadness could be a ploy, a well-intended ploy in which the two of them might play a role,

"Compared to this Era the remaining ones in the city can be compared to Peak Imperial realm, Demi-God realm, and the ancestor himself being a low high-Grade God"

'Fuck that Era was broken'

Austin thought, reaching the level of a low-high God? damn, that's a level different than any,

"If the so-called Dragon God was to fight the ancestor he would be beaten and killed quite easily"

The AI spoke in a prideful tone,

"But don't the two of them have the same level?"

Austin said,

"Humph! the people of this Era have everything taken wrongly, even among gods of the same level there are different levels to take, all of you have forgotten the true path to power"
