SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE-Chapter 125 Stone of Vow and Contract of Promise

Seanlu's face turned serious when he heard Edgar's question.

"Yes, boss! It is included in the law, so PHA has to carry it out. The law states that every hyperbeing must use a stone of vow or contract of promise to state their obligation. We all thought before that it was just a ritual for every new hyperbeing, but it is actually a way to compel the hyperbeings. The law did not state clearly the stone of vow and contract of promise, so the truth has been hidden for a long time."

The stone of vow originated from elves.

The first to discover the gate of inheritance was, unfortunately, a group led by a descendant of a famous family that belongs to a world-top company. The descendant failed to pass the trial because of a lack of preparation, but he was able to learn meditation and aura techniques.

The descendant informed his father of the discovery, and they killed everyone who saw the palace of God except the descendant. The father and son know that the secret cannot be hidden for a long time because Tier 3 broken worlds are appearing all around the world.

They won't be able to monopolize the knowledge alone, but at least it must be shared with people who share the same interests as them, the top families. They share the same interest that keeps their position at the top while making sure that the bottom,composed of ordinary people, remains the same.

They cooperated with?top families and companies in each country that shared the same mindset as them. They frantically search for Tier 3 broken world and try to search for magic that can compel a hyperbeing to keep the secret of aura and magic. After searching during the trial, a descendant succeeded. He found an elven magic, the stone of vow. If a hyperbeing makes a vow on the stone using elven language, a rune will form in the sea of consciousness.

If the vow is broken, the rune will burst, and the stone will break into tiny pieces. Although the rune will burst, the hyperbeing will be fine, but that is enough. The broken stone vow will help them identify who is trying to leak the knowledge. Smithing Stone Vow is costly, but they are willing to spend that amount to keep their power. The stones of vow are keep in a sophisticated machine and heavily guarded facility. Once a stone of vow is broken, an AI will immediately give notice.

They also pooled resources to create an AI that monitors the internet and will instantly delete any leaks on potion making, runesmithing, aura, and meditation techniques.

Some hyperbeings tried to leak aura and meditation techniques, but their stone of vow broke. The AI gave notification, and then those hyperbeings were immediately apprehended and died miserably, including the people close to them.The top families and companies did not claim responsibility, but everyone knows that those were their work. The governments did not spread the miserable consequences of those that tried to leak the knowledge, but hyperbeings that work under the families actively and clearly stated the consequences, and they even showed examples to newly registered hyperbeings.

More hyperbeings popped out three years ago because Michael of the Sun Guild brought out the contract of promise. Aside from the top of the Sun Guild and the US government, no one knows where he got it. The contract is much cheaper than the stone of vow. It will puff into blue smoke once the promise is broken. A universal language is used in the contract instead of an elven language.

Because of the cheap contracts, the top families and companies hired obedient dogs: the thugs and gangs. So in the last three years, many scum became hyperbeings.

Edgar touches his chin.

"It seems they have not given up. They control the media and will keep discrediting Sypher. They also control most of the traffic on the internet. They probably think that they may not be able to control this generation, but the following generations will dance again on their palms," said Edgar.

"What?! Will it return to the period when they can just trample beings at will?!" asked Seanlu.

Edgar smiled when he heard Seanlu.

"What do you think is the purpose of Dragon Hall? It will be a sword of damocles on the heads of scums. It is a hidden force that will not be tied by law. Their wish to remain at the top and dictate the lives of beings will not return. I'm sure that among the ordinary people that benefited from Sypher, there are geniuses that will carry on his will. A single demigod or 8th circle magicians will bring great trouble to those families, but what if three or more pop out among the ordinary people?

They will be destroyed. They spent so much time on intrigues. They don't know the true power of demigods and 8th circle magicians because they did not have the chance to show it on Earth. The guild members that witnessed their power in the broken world probably saw only a glimpse of their real power and will keep it secret for them. How else can those elites act high and mighty although they don't have 8th circle or demigod under their command? Their tails should be tucked between their legs," said Edgar.

Seanlu subconsciously swallowed when he heard Edgar because there are two aura masters that already have concepts and will definitely become demigods in their team, Melody and his boss.

"B-Boss, d-does that mean that our team alone, which has only three members, can contend against those world elites banding together?" asked Seanlu. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Of course, when you reach the fourth level, we can have the power to destroy them," said Edgar as he pats Seanlu's shoulder.

Seanlu's eyes burn with fighting spirit.

"Prepare yourself. I will bring you to a Tier 2 Broken World," said Edgar.

Seanlu feels excited. It will be his first time exploring a broken world.

"What kind of broken world, boss?" asked Seanlu.

Edgar smiles at the excited Seanlu.

"Underwater World."
