Knowledge Emperor

The twilight sun cast a glow across the antal mountains as two people stood on the mountain's edge.

"You've got this, Diana." Lucas stated, in order to boost her confidence in her ascension. "Remember when I was nearly killed by demonic wolves? You were like my destined knight, coming to my aid, and it surprised me because it was the first time I had seen a violent woman like you, who didn't hesitate to tear apart the wolf and didn't flinch when the blood dyed on you. It was kind off hot and I must say, you are the most heroic of us all..." He said it with a grin on his lips, to lighten the tense atmosphere around them.

It is not easy to be promoted to archangel as there is a high risk of losing control. Despite preparing and performing the ritual for a long time, many people have failed in the ascension.

"If you like me that much, Lucas, you could just ask me out." Diana said, and her words made Lucas smile, but it quickly froze at the next words. "However, I should say that I will reject you, because you are too much of a sissy for my taste, for I can't accept a man who nearly fainted in fear at the sight of that little wolf before." She remarked mockingly.

'This bastard dares to call this lady violent.' She reflected, but she couldn't deny that his words did help to ease her pressure and mood.

Diana laughed when she noticed Lucas' twisted expression.

"That is not correct. You're twisting the whole situation, wolf...." Lucas was defending his honour with all his might, but Diana's laughter suddenly froze as she noticed a flash of pain in his eyes, which he didn't hide well. Her instincts as a sage, can't deceive her. 'Oh my goodness! Does he really have fellings for me? ....' She didn't expect this in the least. Her heart, which had just calmed down, had just set off a massive wave.

Lucas came to a halt as well when he noticed her odd expression on him. 'Did she notice it?' He could feel a little panic in her heart, but also a little excitement, which he himself didn't notice as he observed her reaction.

However, much to his dismay, she didn't change much after that.

"I'm going, Lucas." Diana spoke up after she had calmed down. She cannot allow herself to be affected in this way, especially now! The next step is critical for her. She'll deal with Lucas and the rest later. "I can't afford to waste any more time." She paused and said, slightly hesitantly. "Thank you for being here and for all the times before." With a relieved smile, she finished.

"Go ahead, Diana." Lucas put his jumbled thoughts aside and sincerely blessed her, knowing of the situation as well. "You will undoubtedly succeed, as the Lord is also watching over you. I've already planned a lavish banquet for the occasion."

Diana walked to the edge of the mountain and turned to face him, holding a potion in her hand. She didn't hesitate any longer, opening the lid and drinking the potion in one gulp.

"I can hardly wait, Lucas." After finishing the potion, she finally said with a smile on her lips. "You should leave now because things are about to get out of hand."

Lucas also wanted to leave, but when he saw what she did, his eyes widened.

She jumped off the mountain, with an excited smile on her face.

He didn't hesitate to dash to the edge and yell at the top of his lungs, all the while staring at her falling figure.

"Diana! You are truly a mad woman. What the hell were you think....." Before he could finish, a blinding pure light fell on his figure, teleporting him out of this place.

Diana chuckled as she fell, when she managed to heard him. She was also fully concentrated at this point, so her fall had no effect on her at all. Regardless, she decided to jump on a whim.

'Well, he's not completely wrong.' She was thinking as she felt a change within her body, as her body began to become illusory at an alarming rate.

She disintegrated into thick and intricate knowledge, converting into an existence to that off a flux of information.

The entire mountain range, as well as the flowing river between the peaks, the clouds, and the vast pains near the mountains, all lost their sense of reality, for they had been broken down into most fundamental blocks of information.

Everything she had learned from the beginning of her life until now was included in the knowledge that had broken away from her. It made no difference whether it was insignificant or extraordinary. The flux of knowledge included everything.

From second-epoch legends and rumours to secret knowledge that could pollute many simply by knowing it.

It was a truly chaotic, yet miraculous sight to behold at the time, because every piece of her knowledge was transforming, and they all now possessed power.

Many divine gazes fell on this place, but none dared to interfere because the aura of "Sun" covered the entire place.

Diana felt that information from all over the world was infiltrating "Her" knowledge. Without "Her" previous experience, "She" would have lost "Herself" right away.

This was a far more dangerous state than when she was promoted to Sage!

Because the information infiltrating "Her" came from all over the world. They gravitated to "Her," as if she were a magnet attracting them all.

However, "Her" knowledge bore a distinct imprint of "Her," and it entailed a tremendous amount of power. It was extremely "solid," and it couldn't be dispersed by information from all over the world in a short period of time. It assisted "Her" in stabilising "Her" consciousness and gradually gathering the dissipating flux of knowledge around "Her" body, to rebuild "Her" body.

The process began to fail because "She" couldn't keep up with the information of the entire world infiltrating "Her."

Just then, in the vortex of information that was infiltrating "Her," various gleaming stars lit up, and the stars quickly filled the vortex.

Simultaneously, the tarot cards that have become popular around the world, all lit up in correspondence to the stars, with an illusory light invisible to all, expect the divine gazes.

The appearance of stars around the vortex completely slowed the flow of information towards "Her." They also functioned as "Her" anchor.

"She" also felt the prayers and concerns of everyone who was close to "Her". "She" also noticed "Her" lord standing in the sky, watching over her and protecting "Her" during this perilous time.

All of this improved "Her" condition, allowing "Her" to resist the ancient will that was gradually awakening within her body.

Diana reassembled "Her" body and used "Her" anchors to balance out the terrifying will that was surfacing in her body, seizing this brief moment of peace immediately.

"She" floated in, surrounded by a turbulent vortex of information. When "She" moved her hand, all the "information" that had previously attempted to infiltrate "Her" completely obeyed "Her" will, as if "She" were the emperor of them all.

A figure appeared in front of "Her," unaffected by everything around "Her."

"She" noticed "Her" lord standing before "Her," holding a purple crown in "His" hand.

With a smile, "He" placed the purple crown on "Her" head in front of all.

The birth of Knowledge Emperor!
