Chương 37: Omniscience in Marvel 36

Title - New Energy

...

"You better stop your dick measuring contest before I get mad." Oshtur repeated, seeing as neither of the two retracted their auras after her first warning.

"Humph." Osiris snorted and withdrew his aura before sitting down on his throne, not long after, Leucadius did the same without a single change in his expression.

Oshtur sighed and turned to Isis. "You keep your man company for now. I'll show my guest to the library, that's the only reason why he's here. Also, if you have any questions on magic, feel free to ask him anything. He's like the walking embodiment of knowledge."

"Huh? If he is, then why does he still need to learn our magic?"

"That is no business of yours." Leucadius said and turned to Oshtur, "Please, do ensure that I have little to no disturbances during my stay here."

"It almost sounds like you are ordering me around boy." Oshtur said with a meaningful smile which Leucadius matched.

"That is but a little misconception on your part. I would do no such thing." He said

"Whatever, I owe you one anyway. What better way to pay back that like this." She said and turned to Osiris. "Please ensure that our guests has no interruptions during his time studying with us."

"..." Osiris silently glared at Leucadius who didn't even bother to look him in the eye anymore. "No promises, Lady Oshtur." He said, causing Oshtur to sigh.

"It'd be good if you can both put down your Pride." She turned to leave with Leucadius after leaving these words.

...

"Husband..."

"Not now, woman." Osiris quickly shut her down as he continued to glare at the departing backs of Oshtur and Leucadius.

"You know, antagonizing him will not make you a bigger person." Isis said as she walked towards.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Osiris finally tore his eyes away from the two who had already left the throne room and looked at his wife.

"Come on husband. You are the King of Gods, your actions reflect on us, the people under you. If you can not allow your pride and hubris to cloud your judgment, you'd make a better person."

"Aren't I a better person already?" Osiris asked with a frown.

"You are but..." Isis said and sighed. She walked up to him and placed her hands on his and continued. "See past whatever it is that makes you dislike him. He's friendly. Oshtur brought him."

"So? He isn't of Divine Nature and you know it. If anything, he feels Artificial. Like those Eternals or whatever they called themselves." Osiris said.

"And so? They were and are still a superior race of Humanity. The Olympian Gods have already partnered up with them even."

"Do not speak about those Savages in my presence."

"We share the same ancestry, husband."

"It doesn't matter. I will not be associated with a group of Parricidal Gods." Osiris said with a tone of finality.

"Are not you and your brother always at each other's necks?" Isis asked with a huff. "What's the difference?"

"The difference is that I didn't kill my father to sit on this Throne. It was given to me lawfully. Brother can't accept that fact, hence his outbursts." Osiris reasoned.

"I fear it's more than that, but I will hold my peace. My only request of you, husband, is not to antagonize that man." Isis said and made to leave the throne room.

"..."

"Uncle."

"Yes, Majesty."

"Make sure that man doesn't leave your sight for even a fraction of a second. His presence here contaminates this Land." Osiris said with venom in his tone.

Even Thoth who was taking the order didn't exactly know how to tell this descendant of his brother that his Prejudice and hatred towards their Visitor was unfounded.

"Understood." He could only say before his Presence disappeared.

...

Leucadius on the other hand had already been shown into the Library that kept records of all the Heliopolitan Gods since the time of Atum. Of course, 60-70 percent of everything stored here was done courtesy of Oshtur, and as such, she was able to lead Leucadius through the place while also introducing him to each and every branch of magic the Gods of Egypt were good at.

"Necromancy allows communication with spirits, raising the dead, and governance over the realm of the deceased." Oshtur introduced as she passed by a section of the library.

"Of course these are just the preliminary use of Necromancy. I wouldn't advise anyone to delve too deep into this as it borders on the Aspect of Death." Oshtur said gravely.

Leucadius nodded and didn't really put much interest in it. Necromancy was just a watered down ability of what the Soul Stone could do. With Necromancy, one could Heal, perform divination, talk to spirit, resurrect the dead, astral projection and many more.

But with the Soul stone, you would take all these abilities to the next level. Soul reading, manipulation, absorption, true resurrection, soul bonding, healing and fusion.

All these and more, Leucadius could do since his True soul far surpassed the might of even the soul stone.

(A/N: Remember his origin.)

"Moving on, we specialize in Divination, Healing Magic, Elemental Magic, Protection magic, and transformation magic. Other than these I doubt there's anything of interest you'd find here." Oshtur said with mild embarrassment.

She had just sat down on Leucadius' Throne for a minute and had received far more knowledge than what she had in the past. Hell even the book of Vishanti looked tame in comparison but she wasn't comparing though.

The book of Vishanti was the direct antithesis of the Darkhold, a book of pure evil and darkness Chthon had created prior to his departure from Earth during the time of the Demogorge.

Whatever evil the Darkhold held, the book of Vishanti provided its opposite. It gave whoever held it the magic skill and technique it needed to combat any form of evil.

It was that much of a Cheat Level Artifact.

"That reminds me Leuca, what was that magic that you used earlier?" Oshtur asked as she saw that Leucadius didn't seem bothered by the lack of information in the library.

"It's just my own personal magic. We all have Cosmic Energy within us. You have the option of using it as raw as it is and also the option of personalizing it." Leucadius said offhandedly.

"I am aware of that. I created Mystical Energy did I not? I also created various branches of magic during my younger days." Oshtur said with a prideful tone.

"You sure did." Leucadius smiled and complimented. She truly was a genius and progenitor of Magic.

"The aura around you… It was so similar to the White Magic of the Vishanti, however there was another Element within it…what is it?" Oshtur asked.

"Hmm?" Leucadius sounded genuinely confused at that moment and asked Aspect. 'What is she on about?'

'The White magic she speaks of is Similar to Order Magic created to Combat the Dark magic which is similar to Chaos magic.'

'I am aware of that, I meant what was the Other Element she spoke of.'

'I am afraid I am as confused as you are. But if I was to give it a name sir, then Holy Magic will be more apt.'

'Hmm. I'll take that then. But what makes it Holy?' Leucadius asked.

'Perhaps it has to do with your Divine nature Sir.' ASPECT replied. 'Divinity, as I have come to understand, is like a genetic code imprinted on the soul of 'Divine' beings. Allowing them to hold certain controls over Forces of Universe Natural Order.'

'Okay… So my True Soul helps generate this new form of magic unique to only me in the Universe.' Leucadius surmised.

'No Sir…I meant the Entire Multiverse. Wherever you are, there will be Holy Magic.' Aspect replied.

"Hmm, but I am far from Holy…" Leucadius muttered aloud.

"I didn't catch that Leuca." Oshtur said, drawing Leucadius attention back to her.

"Oh. I said it is Holy Magic. Think of it as a magic that counters Evil or Chaotic Energy while also being stronger than your white magic." Leucadius said with pride.

"For some reason, I want to be angry but I cannot."

"It's simply your subconscious telling you that I am right."

"You…are quite the arrogant one aren't you?"

"I aim to please." Leucadius said with a smirk before turning away from her to focus on the library. Oshtur, seeing that, took it as her queue to leave and did as such.

As for Leucadius, he had just finished his conversation with Aspect and had gotten a good grasp on what his Holy Magic was all about.

Holy magic wasn't absolutely good. It counters Evil and Chaos but the Definition of Good and Evil is not Defined. Anything with Dark or Chaotic Energy will be countered, that is true, but what if Evil is committed with White Magic?

Similarly, what if Good is done with Dark Magic?

The only upside to this Energy was that it could be used to perform any spell, chant, incantation, rune or technique. Normal Fire becomes Holy Fire, Water becomes Holy Water, Lightning becomes Holy lightning.

Aspect also let Leucadius know that he could also create living Matter out of Nothing. Apparently it was a Perk of Having a Creator Level Soul. However, the downside was that it would sap Leucadius dry, leaving him in God-sleep for an undefined period of time.

Leucadius quickly discarded that idea as soon as it was brought up. Since he could create things from the already created things the world had to offer, why go so far as to create something out of nothing just to be unable to see the thing he creates grow?

Other than that, his Holy Energy was just like any other Energy. What others could do, he could do also, only with increased quality. Healing and Divinations for example.

He could also use power bequeathment on people who believe in him. That was on the perks of his Divinity. He could allow them to see visions, perform magic through them, distort laws of nature through them even.

"Hehehe. It almost feels like I was going down this part right from the beginning. Alright Aspect, I want every single bit of information in this library stored. How long will that take?"

"It will be done in…3…2…1. It's done sir." Aspect replied.

All Leucadius had seen was his chair expelling a bright light that envelope the entire Library and as soon as it receded, Aspect was done.

"Good, now let's-"

"Sir, I feel it would be harsh to just leave as soon as we arrive." Aspect quickly interrupted.

"Huh?"

"It would appear as though this place has nothing to offer you at all if we just left now. I could imagine Lady Oshtur feeling disheartened by this." Aspect repeated.

"Oh? Look who is feeling things now. I'm almost impressed." Leucadius said with a chuckle but didn't deny it. "Alright, create an illusion of us still scouring for information while I take a look at my Heavenly Realm. I have a feeling something has changed."

"As you command." Aspect said.

Leucadius nodded and closed his eyes and quickly fell unconscious as his Consciousness arrived in his throne room in Heaven. Taking a seat on his Throne, a certain feeling suddenly assaulted him as series of Information bore into his mind.

It was a mystery how that was possible as he was merely in his Mind-scape. Logically speaking, this was his mind, with his current body being his astral one. Logically speaking, information should just be energy moving around within the Space but...

"Motherfucking TOAA!"
