2910 Hall of Authority
I closed my eyes for a moment and saw marina working on the faux body with complete concentration; it had been four hours since I had created it for her so that she could practice.
There are many ways one could get control over one’s abilities, thousands of them, but the best way let her get that is through what she knows, and she knows healing the best, and thus, I have created a faux body, with my seed and few precious resources along with a complete meta-scan of Tyrant.
This body not only looked like a body but also worked like one as it is copied from a real human and is powerful enough to be not damaged easily.
It will help her get her energies under control, which is the first step; with her energy in control, she will be able to explore her new abilities and get them in control.
I watched her for a few seconds before closing my eyes and once again appeared in my core, in front of a mess of things. The curse is not easy; that old snake had put all its knowledge into creating this curse. It is quite a challenge to find method, to even silence, but if I love anything, then it would be a good challenge.
Buzz!
Around two hours passed when my holowatch buzzed with a mail; it was from the supreme commander. “I have to go; there is something I have to do,” I said to Marina; she did not respond, being engrossed in curing the problem in the faux body.
I did not say anything further and walked out of the lab before stepping into the formation and disappearing; soon, I appeared in front of huge bronze doors, which were big enough that even several Grimms would be able to walk through them comfortably.
There were already people waiting for me; aside from Supreme Commander, there was Patriarch Bradford, Lord Singh, and Lady Atkins.
“Supreme Commander, why have you called me?” I asked directly; I have important things to do, and unless it is related to the Grimms, I do not want to disturb them.

“You will know soon,” she said without much explanation and stepped forward, appearing in front of a huge bronze door before pushing them open.
Hun!
A surprise couldn’t help but appear on my face when I saw the muscles across the Supreme Commanders’ body straining; it was clear that she was using considerable force, a physical force that could only Grand Lords or those with the power of the Grand Lords could project.
The door began to open slowly, and soon it had opened enough that we could comfortably walk inside.
We followed behind the Supreme Commander into the hall, a pure white hall, which was empty of any decoration except for a floating black pearl at the center of the hall.
The moment I saw it, my eyes couldn’t help but widen.
The black pearl seemed to contain the weight of the world; I am very sure that even if I attacked with all my strength, I would not be able to damage it, but it is not its strength that had surprised me, but what it is. I did not think the Supreme Commander would bring me here, but I shouldn’t be surprised.
“This is the true core of the Pyramid; this pearl provides the authority we have,” said Supreme Commander and placed her badge on the pearl before placing her hand on it, an action copied by Patriarch Bradford and Lord Singh.
A second, they placed their hands, the black pearl began to glow, and it kept glowing for twelve seconds before Supreme Commander and others took back their hands and badges.
“We have brought you two here to give you the authority; once the process is done, you will have the same authority that all the Grand Lords have,” she informed before turning to Lady Atkins.
“Grand Lord Atkins, place your badge on the pearl and drop the drop of your blood into the pearl before placing your hand on it,” she instructed.
Lady Atkins did what she had been instructed; at first, she placed her pyramid badge on the pearl before dropping a drop of blood on it and then placing her hand on it. As she did it, the pearl glowed more brightly than before, and at the same time, it swallowed the pyramid badge.
For more than a minute, nothing had changed before finally, the badge it swallowed came back six minutes later, but now it was different than before.
It is now purple with silver and golden lines, just like the badges of all the Grand Lords.
The pearl turned to normal, but it took a while for Lady Atkins to open her eyes, and when she did, her eyes were a little hazy, as if she was overwhelmed by what she had experienced.
“Grand Lord Zaar,” said Supreme Commander; I nodded and walked toward the pearl.
The pearl is even bigger than my head but is quite shiny; it looks like a natural pearl, but I don’t know enough to be truly sure of it.
Drip!
I did not stare at it for more than a second before I removed the badge and placed it on, cut my finger, and dropped the blood on its shiny surface before placing my hand on it.
The second later, I found myself in a completely different place, in the vast schematic that likely belonged to the pyramid, made of tech and magic.
I wanted to observe it more, but a huge amount of data scream came floating into my head, giving me a splitting headache. I instantly called the help of my clone to manage this vast stream of data.
Immediately, my headache subsided, but that was not the only help they provided; they also began to sort the data; while the data may be huge, my clones possess great analytic abilities. They could sort through the data at speed I could never catch up.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally, the data streaming ended, and the pain had also disappeared and, with it, the schematic of the pyramid; I wanted to study that, but it had disappeared, but no worries; I could still view the schematic of it. The basic one; as for the most detailed one, no one could see it except for the crafter of the pyramid itself.
A moment later, I opened my eyes, only to see a surprise appearing on the faces of the people before it disappeared.
I took the purple badge from the pearl and placed it back on my chest with a smile on my face; the authority was really great; now I could do many things, including having a very powerful projection which would touch and smell, even sense, if one is willing to bear the strain.
“Lady Atkins, Lord Zaar; both of you have now the authority that is equal of all Grand Lords, a thing very few in thousands of years have been able to achieve this feat,” said Supreme Commander as she toward the exit.
“Now that you have got authority, it is time for you to know the secrets,” she said as we got out of the huge hall.
