Chapter 400 - 400 - Divine Powers?



"[Goblin] As I have already mentioned, I do have some sort of power over this domain. After all, it was created by me." Aiden explained, adding a thought to it mentally. \'Well, by the system, but that\'s not important right now."

"[Goblin] You see, I think I should be able to alter the terrain, and probably to even more. One of the main reasons I came to this place was to actually experiment, I wasn\'t actually aware that you are already having a problem."

Seeing that most of them looked rather confused, Aiden could only smile and look at them with a helpless, wry smile stretching over his face.

"[Goblin] Don\'t worry about it. In short, I will try and see what I can do about the matter. As for the rest of the issues…" He glanced at the list one last time, before putting the piece of paper down and pushing it away. "…These are problems that you guys need to handle yourselves. Internal struggles between your races are something that you will need to constantly work on, and not expect me, Roas, Glohn, the young Gob, or even Galina, who is not here at the moment, to resolve them for you."

Then without bothering if there would be any other issues, he pushed back the chair and stood up, leaving the table and the meeting. Before turning away and towards the exit, Aiden slowly looked over this group of elders coming from both races, forming this council. A thin smile curved the edges of his lips taking a look at each of these brave new pioneers.

This group, this council, this decision to not burden any single one of them with the pressure to lead, nor giving in to temptations such as greed and thirst for power, created this advanced, forward-thinking community. 

This was the first attempt at democracy, at least, based on Aiden\'s still quite shallow and limited worldview. But even if it wasn\'t the first, it was still a remarkable achievement if we were to look at these two races that came with the idea.

Aiden couldn\'t help but ponder… Was any of this influenced by him? Normally it shouldn\'t be as he never set foot in this plane before; however, he did change the fates of everybody present and have even caused 2 of those that have a seat in the council and most likely are the true leaders of their respective races, to evolve and even shared a constant mental connection with.

However, even if it was his influence, or even if not, the end result was a remarkable step towards a utopistic future.

As he thought about these grand thoughts, a content, happy smile grew on Aiden\'s face as he silently gazed at the crowd. A few moments later, he simply nodded at them, and turned around, and left.

As the gazes followed his steps, he stopped at the doorway, turned his head over his shoulders, and glanced at his servants. 

"[Orc] Guys, if you still have matters you can stay. I will find a quiet place in the distance to experiment. You do not need to come with me, even I\'m not sure what I will end up doing." He donned his usual calm smile before stepping out of the hall.

With a leisurely, but steady pace he slowly walked towards the north. He wanted to make sure that he would be a suitable distance away from his people, lest he would cause some unwanted harm to them.

Despite his words, just as he stepped out of the central building and turned his attention to the northern path, the familiar voices of his three servants reached his ears.

"[Orc] Young Master, wait up, let us come with you!"

"[Goblin] Young Master!" 

"[Goblin] Young Master, we are coming too!" 

Halting his steps, he turned around and shook his head at his disobedient attaché. Still, his face had a wide grin plastered over it, he couldn\'t deny them. If they wanted to come, he would not forcefully turn them back.

A bit of time and a couple hundred yards of traveled distance later the group of four finally stopped beside the seemingly endless stream of river.

Feeling that the distance was enough, Aiden finally turned around and spoke up.

"[Orc] Okay, this should be far away, just enough to not cause any unwanted accidents…" He started, following up after heaving a sigh and forcing a serious, stern outlook. "… I am not sure what will happen now, so guys, be vigilant. Neither do I know how everything I do will affect our surroundings."

"[Orc] You don\'t worry about us, Young Master! We will be on the lookout!"

"[Goblin] We will protect you, Young Master, so you can just focus on the task!"

Roas and Glohn immediately spoke up, giving their own devoted reassurances, while Gob joined in with his mostly silent but fervent nodding.

Deciding to not mind their shenanigans and not to waste any more of his precious, limited time available, Aiden turned away from them, focusing his attention on his system.

Reacting to his mental command, the light blue system interface popped back up, with a new window presenting itself in front of his golden eyes for the very first time.

[ Status | Lab | *Domain* |  Activities ]

[ Info | Manage | *World* | Tasks ]

[Welcome Host to the World sub-option, the Terraformer feature of the System!]

A strange, cryptic greeting was the only thing that first appeared in front of his eyes. The greeting lingered for a couple of seconds before it slowly faded out of existence and caused the screen to change.

The light green background vanished, replaced by a top-down view of a large slice of the land they were standing on. At the center, their group was represented with 4 small green dots over the plain, whilst 3 square-like boxes of distance to the south of them Aiden could see the small square or circular shaped tents and houses representing the village. To the southeast, a large dark-green patch of land showcased the recently appeared forest whilst a small dark blue straight line to their left was the currently unnamed crystal clear river.

Directly above the map, smaller, transparent windows could be seen. A strange new number was shown at its top that kept growing at a constant, steady pace.

[ Current Faith: 984 ]

A couple of seconds later, it changed, turning to 985.

\'What is this?\' He asked mentally, knowing that Enya was always listening.

A moment later, just like he hoped, her gentle, mature voice rang inside his mind.

\'[It\'s the new resource available only whilst you are inside this space. Your Haven, Aiden.]\'

\'Okay, I kind of got that myself, but what does it do? How does it keep growing, what is it for?\' Aiden fired a couple of questions. Over the years, he understood the system and could guess himself a few details.

\'[The more of Haven\'s residents believe in you, the more they become devoted to you, thankful to your actions, the more this new number, this resource will grow. It is actually the necessary resource that fuels the divine energy that will allow you to change the landscape and even enact various universal laws upon your plain.]\'
