My Mage System
Chapter 248 - Humans Are Not Like Chess Pieces
And when one of her demons had reported to her that they had found Acrium in a world that didn't have a master yet, she knew that she had made the right choice by befriending her because Lilith had immediately shared this good news with her, and it was then that she had proposed this machiavellian plan to her.
This plan had allowed them to look for the Acrium without the other gods noticing anything, and they also had lot of fun together at the expense of the inhabitants of this world.
But now this Warrior Spirit had gotten in their way and she and Lilith had already suffered the consequences, what she didn't understand though was how the vision she had before starting this new game had changed so much.
In her vision, the bearer of the Pentagram Mark had let his uncle rule the territory of the humans and he had never known anything about his real parents.
There had been an explosion during the Selections for the annual capital's tournament that had caused many losses on her side including Liam, Ian, Julian, and many others, and she only realized now that this explosion was caused by Ian being turned into a human bomb by Lilith herself ... No wonder her father loved her so much she thought.
Then there was Erik who should have become a Warrior Spirit only during the final battle when Alan sacrificed himself to save him.
The fact that he had become one so quickly was almost a miracle and Alan had survived thanks always to this Warrior Spirit that Elias had trained.
But the destiny that had changed the most was undoubtedly the one of the son of the God of Destruction, Kevin had really changed him completely.
And if she hadn't been afraid to use Mykael's son in her plan before, it was because in her vision, Axel had never awakened his bloodline and therefore Mykael shouldn't have known that he had a son.
The Axel of her vision had become a powerful fighter, he had seduced the dragon king in spite of himself and he had been of great help during the final battle by persuading him to participate in with his men.
But the powerful fighter in her vision was nothing compared to the power those two bloodlines had given him ... She had seen Mykael break the seal that prevented Axel from using his maternal bloodline so easily that she had wondered if Gwendolyn had betrayed her by teaching him how to undo it.
But it didn't matter now, what was done was done, and Cassandra was tapping her fingers on the table while thinking and as she moved her pawn forward she said to her mother : "Checkmate ... Mother, why have all my strategies failed so far in this damned world."
Diana, who had been the goddess of strategy before her and who had given up her place when she saw her daughter's precocious talents, laughed before telling her : "Humans are not like chess pieces my dear, they have feelings and free will that you cannot take away from them.
Some can be controlled and some can't, it's up to you to adjust your plans accordingly."
Cassandra had inherited her mother's gifts of premonition and extraordinary intelligence for all strategic tactics, but unfortunately she hadn't inherited her wisdom and empathy for humans and other creatures, which had just led her to this bitter failure.
She had given up trying to understand them a long time ago, she had never succeeded anyway, and usually thanks to her premonition gifts she always managed to use her visions to compensate for her lack of empathy, but this time nothing had happened as she had planed.
Plus, despite all these millennia she still hadn't managed to awaken her father's bloodline, if only she had managed to do so, she wouldn't have been forced to flee here because of the threat that Mykael and Elias now represented for her.
When she had asked her father why she couldn't awaken her bloodline, he had just told her that it wasn't because he was her biological father that she could use the powers of the Titans.
And it had taken her a very long time to understand that the more she acted like a Titan was supposed to, the weaker the seal that deprived her of that bloodline became.
So she had become more and more heartless and ruthless, and she had seen that her father was pleased with her change in behavior.
But even being the only daughter of the Emperor of the Titans didn't prevent her from escaping his wrath, and fortunately, she hadn't come back completely empty-handed or else her father would probably have banished her from their world because he had never put up with incompetence.
He would have told her to solve her problems alone and not to come back until she got rid of her enemies.
And so, even if this Warrior Spirit had causing her so much trouble, she had realized that he was probably right and that there must be a unique energy source that allowed dungeons to form in this world and that was probably why there was Acrium there as well.
This ore was extremely rare and could only be formed if certain conditions were met and this unknown energy source must have provided an ideal environment for it.
Of course everything would have been easier if this damn world had finally decided to surrender, all the information she and Lilith were looking for was after all in its core memory.
And since her father had seemed really pleased with this information, he had again given her carte blanche to do as she pleased, and he had even provided her with new elite guards and told her that he would take care of those Gods if they ever dared to set foot in their world.
He had reminded her that they needed the Acrium, because thanks to it the Titans could finally crush the Gods and rule the worlds of this universe, and this source of energy was a bonus that he hadn't expected but that he was already eager to possess.
And while she was still lost in thought, her mother then asked her : "Now that you're here, how do you plan to get that energy source and the Acrium."
Cassandra smirked and said to her mother : "Don't worry, I still have my pawns in place and Lilith is still there too.
She knows what she has to do, and while she will fight this warrior spirit and his friends, I will take the opportunity to intensify the search around the area from which this energy source could emit.
Now that I have a better understanding of this world thanks to this Warrior Spirit, it's only a matter of time before I finally get my hands on it."
