The matter that makes up the pir is strange, to say the least. It is as if the pir isn''tplete and that he is only seeing half of it and yet the other half is also here in this ne of existence but just inessible by any means of determination. The pir is both tangible and phantom. The state of the tangible pir is being mimicked by the phantom pir in an undisclosed situation through a link of entangled matter.


    He has been scanning the pir ever since messengers from the racial council brought it a few weeks ago.He knew it was special the moment he saw it for different reasons. For the first reason, his eyes could pick up on the specialness of the pir. He figured out what the pir does immediately after he saw it. Inyman''s terms, it converts beings with soul bodies into energy that is transmitted to a destination where they are then reconstructed. The pir is both a processor and a transmitter.


    He didn''t need his eyes to know what it does. He knew already because of the second reason. It is why he knows that the pir is special. He has seen this pir before. It is not him exactly but another clone of Legion that saw it. The circumstances around that event are linked to the realm lord. Anything linked to the realm lord must be special.


    He had grinned when he first saw the pir. He thought to himself, "So thispetition is a ruse. There has to be something going on about it that they are not telling us. It must have a hidden agenda. It is just like the first sage to be two-faced. But I am on to him now."


    This second reason is more important than the first reason because it gave Soverick suspicion of a greater purpose for thepetition. The first sage already said thepetition is not simple. He didn''t understand back then but now is not so clueless.


    The pir is a piece of hardware that boggles the mind of best forgers of origin artifacts. It is a top-grade artifact just like Aeternus ymore but its makeup is as close to a world fragment as possible. In order words, anyone that can forge this pir needs aw of order.


    The sage could have made the pir and he is certain it is the sage that made the pir. He can see the traces of the First Sage''sw of order on it. If it wasn''t for the phantom state of the pir then he wouldn''t attend thispetition anymore. He will just sit here and look at the pir. Unfortunately for him, the phantom state makes it useless for him to observe.He also wants to see what one of the realm lord''s artifacts doing in apetition within the ne.


    He said eagerly. "I can''t wait to see what this is all about."


    His find also improved his mood. The clone of Legion that saw the pir first didn''t have his eyes to bore into its secrets but he does. He is always eager to see more truths of the universe and this pir is a condensation of such truths. He has been unsure of his decision to participate in thepetition but now he wants to be a part of it and see what it is all about.


    He sat down and analyzed the pir since then never moving once. The phantom state is making the pir have more than one property. It is scrambling what he is seeing so much that even hisw of casualty can''t create meaningful links but he didn''t give up. Anything can happen and he might see something interesting. So he sat there and didn''t move until thest bell signaling the end of registration started to ring.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "This isn''t over." He promised the pir as he used his divine sense to start the registration process.


    Hepleted the registration and was swept into the pir. The pir shook and strained to transmit him to thepetition world. He might have a soul body that meets the minimum requirement but his soul body is as strong as a Sovereign''s body ofw so the pir had a little difficulty doing its job. Thankfully, the workmanship of the pir is impable considering who its manufacturer is.


    Soverick appeared in a white world. The ground and the sky are white. Everything is white so he looks like he is in a giant white box. He smiled when he saw where he is.


    He thought to himself. ''I was right. They are linked."


    He wasn''t surprised by where he ended up. He had gleaned enough information from the pir to know where he is right now plus he has been somewhere like this before. It was against his choice but it was useful and it is continuing to be useful.


    This ce is an exact replica of the first Sage''s mind space. It is not a coincidence. The internal world of a world fragment in its basic form is simr to the mind space of its creator because of thew of order that was used to make it. He counted on this simrity, and that''s why he decided to participate in thispetition.


    Salvini came to him with a lot of things that could persuade him to join thispetition. All those things didn''t persuade him. It was when he heard that thepetition will take ce in an artifact built by a world god that he decided to participate. And now, he is in that artifact created by the world god. His knowledge of how world fragments are made has also not disappointed him. What he came looking for is within reach.


    He looked around and noticed that he isn''t the only one around. The world is filled with others who were transmitted here. They are to be hispetitors. There''s only one person that can win the opportunity to ask anything from the first sage.
