GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS

But then, that day came, the day our fairy world and the entire Galiax Magic Multiverse got forcibly introduced to a multiversal existence. The events of this day are deeply burnt into our minds since young, never to forget our heritage and how we came about our decline or current pathetic state. That day was called the \'Day of the Collector\'s Descent.\'

As you see on the projection, this was the day the being known as \'The Cosmic Collector\' reached our multiverse..."

Inside a magically designed room, Athena, Anna, and Thalia sat on magical golden chairs as they stared at a projection at the center of the room. The projection came from a tiny triangular shard that displayed realistic-like images that matched the explanation. The displaying images from the shard were on a square-shaped projection, like a flat-screened TV. Standing next to the projection shard was a gorgeous female with long blue hair that reached her legs; this person was Anna\'s previous teacher, Marin.

Marin now wore a magically designed long blue fairy dress with multiple bracelets around her wrists. She was barefooted, but her slender legs and golden leg bracelets made the barefooted Marin look magnetically captivating; on her long blue hair was a long pin holding her hair in a traditional style from blocking her face. Despite looking gorgeous and graceful, Marin\'s expression was the opposite. She had a serious yet downcasted countenance as she explained while the projection displayed the moving images fitting her description. She continued.

"...combined with the resources and magical prowess of the other races and universes within the Galiax Multiverse, we had hopeful expectations of defending against the Collector, as we were able to fend off the emissaries of the Collector for hundreds of thousands of years, or calculated in this multiverse\'s time language, one million Immortal eras. We lost countless worlds, stars, galaxies, and universes in the war against the Collector\'s emissaries, without even the Collector interfering or showing itself.

After countless sacrifices and fighting with the near-infinite number of emissaries of the Collector, the Council of Ancients remaining from every race decided it was time to either completely maximize their prowess and resources or die; but although many Ancients rebutted the proposed idea as it was nigh-impossible and could lead to the complete eradication to all existence, they were later forced to accept the present reality that they were breaths away from total extinction by the Collector.

Finally settling, all the ancients, which were respective god tribunals, decided to surrender their cosmic knowledge and wisdom to the most powerful god tribunal of that time, the Ancient Ancestor of our Fairy race; and with the aid and guidance of the ancestor spirits, our Ancient Ancestor was able to utilize Cosmic Magic to directly contact a being whose level was beyond the multiversal existence or even higher. After the contact with that being, the war with the Collector began circulating in our favor as we were able to fend off the Collector finally.

But victory always comes with a price, sacrifices; by the end of the war, numerous worlds and universes had been wiped out by the Cosmic Collector and his near-infinite legion of emissaries, leaving only a few galaxies and one universe. The wisdom and magical breakthroughs accumulated throughout history were lost, and some of the most powerful Ancient Ancestors from many races had been either killed or sacrificed themselves. As a final resort, the last god tribunal decided to gather all the surviving existences within the Galiax Multiverse into one universe and sent it to a different timeline within the Cosmos. And that\'s how magic beings like us came to exist in the Cultivation multiverse."

"....!"

Silence filled the room as Marin finished explaining the history of their current magic universe. Her expression improved slightly from when she began explaining; casually waving her hand, the triangular shard slowly floated as it drifted next to Marin, then the shard vanished. Assuming a less sorrowful and a more delightful cheerful expression, Marin put on a graceful smile as she spoke.

"Well, enough about me and our boring past; how have you been, my dear disciple?"

"I\'ve been doing well. Let me introduce you to my sisters; this is Athena, my first sister, and Thalia, my third sister. My dear sisters, this is my former teacher, Marin."

Anna spoke as she cheerfully introduced the ladies to each other, with a magically designed chair appearing behind Marin after. The chair wasn\'t as fancy as theirs. Seeing the seat materializing behind her, Marin smiled even more as she gently sat, speaking after.

"I see you have already met that person; I must say, he has a keen eye for beauty. It\'s nice meeting you all; I am Marin, Shi Lin\'s previous teacher and a previous member of the Saint Council; please excuse my earlier state when you first met me; it is not something I think will be forgotten anytime soon."

"Oh please, we are all ladies here; there is no need to be ashamed of your beauty. I\'m Athena King, wife of Patrick Alexander King, whom I believe you\'d already know, pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"And I am Thalia, also Patrick\'s wife. Seeing that we are both beings related to magic, I understand why you did what you did; I must say, quite a heroic act."

"No need for compliments, Lady Thalia; my colleague and I only did what was necessary to prevent the ancient fairies from drawing the attention of the Cosmic Collector and other greedy existences within this multiverse and the destruction of the only magic universe."

"I may not be familiar with the Galiax magic multiverse, but I can assure you, Marin, there are countless more magic universes, multiverses, and even magic realms beyond that. So I wouldn\'t worry about your planet Salvia being the only magical habitat remaining."

Thalia spoke as she waved her left index finger, revealing a 3D projection of the infinite Cosmos and its infinite number of stars, universes, and multiverses. As she spoke, the 3D projection zoomed into the countless number of magical habitats and the countless species within these habitats. Seeing this, Marin assumed a disbelieving countenance as she stared at the zoomed-in multi-colored projection of the Cosmos, which contained universes, multiverses, and a single metaverse, which contained a transfinite number of multiverses.

"The zoomed object containing the transfinite number of multiverses is called a Metaverse, which is the verse that comes after multiverses. I could tell you more but let\'s postpone that to later. This projection only shows you that you don\'t need to be so worried that the Salvia universe is the only magical habitat left as there are much more magical domains."

Thalia finished speaking as the projection displaying the infinite Cosmos zoomed out slowly and disappeared.

\'I still can\'t believe it; even after that man allowed me to sense his presence countless years ago and introduced me to the existence of infinite unknowns, I still can\'t control my reaction when faced with the actual existences themselves. Including Shi Lin, all three of these ladies Shi Lin can control time, space, and reality as if they were beginning level magic spells; when they saved me, they didn\'t have the slightest signs of exhaustion which would indicate that the council of Ancient Faires weren\'t capable of even giving them a hard time.

I am known as Marin, but my real name is Marinella; my father named me after my mother, who died after my birth. I grew up with my father on a small farm far away from the wealthy areas of the planet. Being a retired veteran, my father, a magic knight, later taught me his fighting skills and wisdom with the sword. But my talent wasn\'t swordsmanship but rather magic; this was discovered when my father gave me a few of my mother\'s spellbooks, who was a mage during her youthful days. My father was impressed with my magic talent and sent me to the central areas to further my education.

After numerous trials, social experiments, and adventures, I later became a renowned magic fairy, topping all my classes and peers and attracting the attention of many superiors and higher fairy mages. I was later accepted as a disciple to one of the most powerful fairy mages on the planet and grew even stronger, given that my training resources and privileges increased. Learned about the secrets of our world and then appointed as a potential candidate for the role of an Ancient Fairy Ancestor in the future.

But the stronger I grew, the lonelier I became; my father didn\'t have the talent I had, so he couldn\'t break through to a higher realm that would have prolonged his lifespan. For thousands of years, I trained and roamed the universe and secret realms unknown to us. After countless achievements, I became a member of the Saint Council, which was the stage before becoming a certified Fairy Ancestor. But after discovering the devious plan of the Fairy Ancestors, another Saint Council member and I stole two pages from the unknown black book and escaped to different worlds.

I later escaped to a broken world where I was able to recuperate and heal from my injuries, even discovering that the stolen page was a Dao. I stayed in that broken world as I indulged in my cultivation, allowing me to break through to the True Immortal stage in twenty years. Within that same year, I met Shi Ling, whom, after our interaction, I decided to pass down the Doa page and ascend to the higher realms. But, during a cultivation session, I felt the presence of a being beyond my comprehension, that unknown entity only making me aware that I only felt his presence because I was connected to Shi Ling; he even gave me his physical description.

Not long after, I was ambushed, captured, and returned to the Salvia universe, where the Fairy Ancestors punished me with never-ending punishment by black Dao lightning. I was shocked to see Shi Ling save me at an earlier date and time, but after remembering the feeling of that person\'s presence, I understood he was connected to everything. It was like I am but a character forced into a plot. And now, these three women are making me feel the exact feeling of being unable to comprehend their existence. Just who is that man?\'

Marin, or full name Marinella, internally monologued in her past as her entire life flashed in her eyes. But quickly realizing that she had dozed off, Marin returned to her consciousness. She then heard Anna speak.

"Now that the Ancient Faries are gone, how do you plan to govern the Salvia universe?"

"My dear disciple, or can I say, Goddess, our Salvia universe has its way of things; being fairies within a specific field, you are only allowed to serve within your field. And since I am a combat Fairy Mage, I know little of administration or management, so I am the last person qualified for the job. I prefer leaving everything to those who pursue power and status, and besides, I don\'t find ruling others a pleasure but rather a boring burden."

"You never cease to amaze me, Marin; I now see why he introduced himself to you."

Anna spoke casually with satisfaction; Marin was the same as when she was her teacher; she didn\'t seek wealth or status. Marin\'s decision made Anna and the other two Goddesses have good impressions of Marin, and they are not that easily impressed.

But while the four ladies were indulged in their lady talks, sounds only known to the Goddesses sounded—Anna\'s mini version speaking in her ear.

[Goddess Athena, GOD MASTER has thought of you, do you wish to be by his side?]

[Goddess Anna, GOD MASTER...]

[Goddess Thalia, GOD MASTER...]

Hearin the messages, the three Goddesses smiled simultaneously, and Athena spoke after.

"Well, ladies, I think it\'s time to return. Marin, do you want to come with us to the Cultivation world?"

"Oh, please, lead the way. I wouldn\'t miss such an opportunity to see that MAN."

The next moment, the space tore open in a double door shape as it revealed the cultivation world. It was nighttime in the cultivation world while daytime in the magic world. Then, Athena, Anna, and Thalia elegantly walked through the door; Marin, standing in a stupor, quickly recollected herself as she walked into the door, with the door sealing shut behind her and the torn space re-mending itself.

And like that, the first separate adventure of the Omnivastant Goddesses came to an end, with their goal of saving Marin accomplished.
