With every life sacrificed it was as though a hole was punctured in the fabric of reality, allowing a certain amount of spiritual essence to leak to the physical world. At first, they couldn't feel anything as they were spiritually blocked, and as materialistic individuals who warship money and power. They had neglected their spiritual hunger. Leaving them blind to the phenomena that was taking place right in front of them.
But with continuous testing of the functionality of the alter and blatant disregard of human life, they noticed some changes on the people responsible on researching the ruin, For one, they started showing remarkable mental acuity, followed but the rejuvenation of their vitality. They looked as though time has reversed and looked younger than before.
Soon they even started to have some glimpse of understanding on the runes written on the alter, It was then when the twelve forefathers realized that what they have in their hands is no small thing. One might even say this was the tool they need to further the organization's core objective. For years they had been operating on long forgotten knowledge. Sure they knowledge they got before helped them establish the world power they have today but deep down they knew, they didn't need idealized subjective power that is based on the psychology of power. But the raw unadulterated power capable of changing maps and geology. Something that can't be suppressed by ideals and morality like political power.
So before them was the key to take on that power. Since then they made it a point to meditated in the ruins, absorbing the spiritual essence leaking in, with innocent human life being the payment. Before long thousands of years has passed and some of that spiritual essence had been secretly spreading to other parts of the world, which set the world in to a generation of myths. People started to see the monsters under the bed, the lady in white and all other urban legends became true somewhat.
Another thing this power did for them is reveal the creation of reality as they know it, the world conscious and most importantly, the existence of the Adamu, whom suddenly doesn't just appear to be a legend of the first man but the true key for them to gain true world dominance.
Back to Jacob, He was prepping the alter for Sora, making sure he follow the instruction First Father brought to him. Soon after the preparations where done, He went back to the surface to receive guests who will bare witness the evolution of a new world, A historical moment where Men brought heaven down to earth, a moment where man finally have the chance to gain power to slay Gods and Demons. Gone will be the days where they play by the whims of the higher power, their will shall be their to control and they won't need to warship any other being to gain a modicum of miracle.
First arrivals where celebrities, popular politicians plaguing all the corners of the world, then came CEO of fortune five hundred companies. Followed by the heads of powerful families who where secretly dictating some small nations due to it being sold in secret by the corrupt politicians. Then came legacy Royal families of nations which still help power over their nations unlike those ones where the Royals only held the title and the central court held the power. And finally with some bit of surprise which even the organizers couldn't believe, some of the hidden clan representatives came to join the party.
I say surprising because everyone in this organization knew and understood ancient clans and also knows how they operate. The organization may have power over the world but that is because the clans don't really care much about what happens in the mortal world. They long saw humanity as sheep which has lost direction and operate with only their base urges making them not much different from a mindless beast.
The power the Organization has could be said to be an allowance. They are allowed to operate as the dark king who controls the workings of the world in the dark because the clans allow it. So imagine their surprise when those very being has ingratiated them with their presence. Whispers could be heard in all around the entrance. Not long Jacob pulled everyone's attention to him.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, if I could have a bit of your attention please, Thank you for coming all the way here, I hope non of you found the concealment of this place troubling. Please follow me to the alter and bare witness to the creation of a new world!" after Jacob's invitation, everyone got excited but they had to wait a bit for the representatives of the Ancient clans to pass first so not to accidentally bump into them.
Soon everyone followed after the last of the clans members went in. As though sensing an important occasion, The ruins in runes in the ruins started to glow. Light was acting like a tracer, softly glow could be seen tracing over the runes as they came to life. Everyone was a bit startled by the event but didn't feel any threat, If anything, the glow felt inviting as if reassuring everyone who is there like they are meant to be there right at that moment.
Right after that spectacle, within the quite of the gasps, foot steps could be heard pitter patter in the corridor, sounding louder by the moment. Everyone turned their heads to the entrance. Soon 12 figures with masks on came walking in. Nobody in the world knew the 12 Forefather's faces but the Forefathers themselves.
Even though this is secret, nobody dared to ever pretend like one also because the 12 forefathers themselves along with the members knew how to identify the authenticity of a Forefather. Even though the title held power, there was a rule that a sitting Forefather couldn't have an Identity. So one could say a Forefather is a representative of the Title since anyone could be a Forefather, and most importantly, the title of Forefather is eternal meaning even if the person dies, the Forefather still lives.
They did this in order to keep the power structure illusive and mysterious as to not have bad apples targeting one of the Forefather or their family to do something that could jeopardize the organization and everyone in it. Soon after the last of the twelve walked in, The first Father saw the representatives of the hidden clans and he quickly went to them in a hurry. "Mr. Constantine welcome. When I sent the invites I didn't think you would come along with the other ancient class" said Forefather while he bowed a bit with a fist clamed inside his hand as a sign of respect. "Normally we have so much going on that we don't have the time for any social interaction, But seeing as this has the power to change the destinies of every soul on this planet I don't see why not come and bare witness to something so grand" responded Lard Constantine, soon everyone agreed with him.
"Well I'm glad to hear that, please make yourselves comfortable while we get the ceremony going, I'll be excusing myself" With that First Father left, leaving the Representatives ogling the designs of the ruins. He understood there's nothing they could do to it, besides without a guide to walk them through the concealment, no one can really know where it actually is. After the figure was out of sight, the group tried to understand the runes around the place. Mr. Constantine, funny seeing you here, it is quite rare seeing one of you walking around" Said a man of 5.9 and a body of an athlete that could be seen even when wearing a suit.
"Mr. Noah Coodra, you flirter me, Indeed this is not our kind of space and if it weren't the rumors about the first Adamu, I don't really see myself in this lowly world. They have such a powerful machine and all they did was sacrifice innocent lives, truly ignorance is bliss." Lard spoke with an almost disgusted look on his face but still manage to revert back to his gentleman like demeanor before anyone notice. When Noah saw the flash disgust, he knew just the amount of willpower Lard had to use just to be in this room with the guests around here. Lard is someone who always thought himself as someone above humanity, but he could still stand them like a human could stand a Dog or cat, at the end of the day they still know they are Dogs and Cats, what he couldn't stand is cats and dogs pretending to be humans. Like how everyone here pretends to know mysticisms while they had barely scratched the surface. They are trying to climb the ladder while they knew full well they will forever be feline and canine.
"Mr. Constantine, I fully understand your frustrations, look at the carvings on those stone slabs, a knowledgeable person could tell this is more than just a sacrificial room. The way they are traced and the fashion they draw in power, one can tell a primordial being had a hand in its creation. Even with the dead runic language I've studied, I hadn't deciphered more than the shallow runes and I'm guessing that this is more than just a lock to the door to the spiritual world.
