Ch69: Atlantis The Continent Of Troubles

After the commotion caused by Stella's visit, we all gathered for dinner. We were still talking about what we would have to do in the next few days. We were gathered at the table eating something quite simple, chicken rings with a salad. Tamamo helped with the salad and so far it has been the best she has cooked, so you can see progress with her diligent practice. Almost all of us, except Tamamo, use a spoon to eat, because although we have all tried it, we are not skilled with chopsticks, the next in skill is Maria but even she has a hard time and since almost all of us eat the same as there is no rush for learning.

"I can't believe that now a demon is chasing you to kill you "
"But remembering that we have a goddess and even an angel here with us, it must be natural that demons also exist"
"But why that one in particular? what did you do to her?" asked my sister

"That is an excellent question, I have no idea why either"
"The only thing I can think of is that it is because of something that happened in Atlantis, but I don't know what part of it was that could make her angry" I answered sincerely.

"As I understand it, what happened there was important but you have never told any of that"
"What happened in that place?" Tamamo asked curiously.

"The question is rather, what did not happen there?"
"So many horrendous things happened that I don't even know where to start"
"Well, I think the best thing is to tell it from the beginning."
"I do not pretend to be here all night so I am not going to tell everything in detail, so pay attention."

Atlantis as you can imagine it was a very ancient civilization. They were a very skilled people who always liked to break new limits, always pushing their inventions to the limit in the attempt to conquer new frontiers. They were a civilization that was very dependent on the use of their highly developed magic-based technology. But this had a problem, this technology was very dependent on materials, his favorite material to work with was orichalcum, it was a very difficult element to find on earth. So the Atlanteans always had to conquer new territories in order to get new areas to get resources. Why didn't they just search their own territory well for new veins of metals and orichalcum? Well, that was because they couldn't. His territory, his continent was like no other. The place where Atlantis was located was a large floating island that could freely roam the planet.

They were the undisputed owners of the planet. The maximum civilization that existed at that time. His domains were great and his power unimaginable. But his people were also selfish and self-centered. For them, humans on the surface of the planet were inferior dirty beings. But even so, trade was always necessary, so in the lower part of the floating island there were fortress ports installed strongly defended so that the agent could sail towards Atlantis to exchange goods, it was for this very reason that the lower part of the island It was considered low class, while the richest and most powerful lived in the upper part. Time passed and the Atlanteans came to hear of a new civilization created by man without the help of the magic, it was Mesopotamia. The Atlanteans visited them but when they saw the level that the man had reached, they boasted and laughed. They believed beings superior to anything on the planet. And the ego came from him to such a level that they even rebelled against Heaven and declared war openly. They wanted to show that they were the perfect beings who had surpassed even THE BOSS.

Although it was undoubtedly foolish what they did, it was something they had carefully planned in advance. They had even made allies to whom they gave some of their technological advances and that the Atlanteans would use to increase their troops in the war. They are allies Sodom and Gomorrah had agreed to help the Atlanteans in exchange for them helping them defeat their enemy, Mesopotamia. You will know the fate of these two places if you have read some books. The Atlanteans managed to survive the attack from the skies but suffered a substantial amount of casualties despite the fact that they had not even managed to launch an attack. Due to the number of deaths they suffered so suddenly, the political situation was unstable in Atlantis. Because of this, they decided to temporarily withdraw from the conflict and travel west. To try to get more resources to carry out the repairs and create new weapons, the fools of the Atlanteans decided to cast their luck once more and invaded a new civilization. Unfortunately, I could not know much about what was this other civilization that they attacked, but according to what I heard this was at a level similar to the Atlanteans themselves. This war turned out just as badly as the one before the Atlanteans had finally encountered a people capable of facing them at the same level.
