Chapter 22: Too Many Crown

Chapter 22: Too Many Crown

"Lance Redron, the Ancestral Archon, is the current head of the Ancestral Tree, which is currently the second most powerful organization in this world. This is where Lance developed a huge ego that led to the current situation, for him listening to his order is an absolute, and anyone who disobeys them is simply an enemy of the world.

But the real problem isn't that he has a huge ego, but that he has the power to back it up, his archon power relies on ancestry, or if you want it more scientifically, human memory. Inside his mind an infinite library of every single piece of information that his predecessor and predecessor their servant obtained, but it doesn't stop as just knowledge, he also inherits the experience, talent, genetics, quirk, appearance, wealth and strength of his predecessor.

There is another notable point about his ability, but it shouldn't be relevant right now, he can't die of old age, sickness or bad luck, as nature itself wants to prevent his death. So if you want him killed, you have to do it by yourself."

"VOLO!!!"

"Just saying." Volo hunched his shoulder before continuing his explanation. "In any case, it's not like he would be easy to kill, his body has also inherited the strength of multiple generations of Archon, so he possesses a pretty high amount of power comparable to a fighting esper of level 5."

"Then Volo, could you explain to me something?" Geeta asked.

"You paid, I answer."

"Good, could you explain to me how Lance was able to force everyone to kneel?"

"Oh, it's probably just his mark."

"His mark?"

"Yes, every Archon has one, but it is just a fancier way of talking about how an archon develops his power and how he specializes in it. As they all have infinite ways of using them, the only thing limiting them is their own imagination or preference, and of course what their power can handle in the first place.

For example, my mark is 'Falling', and the specialization of Lance as probably has something to do with...'Teaching' I think? Sincerely it's just in the theory phase right now, but I theorize he can transmit his knowledge to other people, and to make everyone kneel he probably forced the knowledge of obeisance on everyone else and imposed this knowledge into their brain to a degree comparable to the knowledge to their basic instinct, like the knowledge to how to breath."

"Is there any way to resist it?"

"Well, I suppose you can just make sure everything in your body is automated by yourself like Luciel, so no instinct can take over your body...well, I guess Cynthia was also able to resist it despite having no power, so just having enough willpower to resist it should be enough for now. This could simply mean his mark isn't developed to a sufficient level, so strike while the dragon scale is soft.

"...what?"

"I'm saying if you want to stop the movement he is doing, then now is the best moment to shatter his ego, because, despite all the knowledge they have, they never learn humility. And trust me, it's not because I didn't try."

"...I see, then why did he do it in the first place, what is his duty."

"I was getting there, don't get impatient please." Volo shook his head in a comical way, but Geeta only rolled her eye before fixing Volo again. "Usually Archon duty changes depending on the condition of the world, but usually they are always similar to each other through their apparition, and I have a pretty good idea what the current problem the Great Slaver want to fix right now."

"The Broken War?" Oak questioned, but he quickly regretted it after Volo looked at him with annoyance.

"Wow, no wonder you're called a doctor, they're really nothing escaping this brilliant mind of yours. I sure hope that one day in my immortal life I will be able to reach at least one percent of your capacity of stating the obvious, but at least I will be able to satisfy my envy with the fact that I am better than you in not talking when the elder are talking."
