The World Serpent

The Golden Radiant Sun rose from the Horizon of the Realm of Piksyo. It was the beginning of a new day. Within the cafeteria found deep within the Fortress Bastion of Azathoth. All Inquisitors of the Inquisition gathered together to start their breakfast. Among the group of Inquisitors was the Governor Inquisition of Time, also known as Marx. 

Marx was the only Demon Crescent with the Attribute of Time. She had been studying the subject, and she could manipulate the time around her. Though, there was a limit to her power. Marx couldn't control time in a larger radius. The Energy consumption and the variables would affect her Time Manipulation. But even then, Marx understood that she needed to learn more about using her Time Attribute. 

Anyway, even though Marx was known as the Governor Inquisitor of Time. Marx also got the title known as the War Lord of the Inquisition. Unlike the remaining Two Governor Inquisitors, Marx wanted to fight and battle. She felt that fights were the best way of growth for her. During the Regiment Training of the Inquisition, She challenged everyone and beat them. Except for two, of course, which were Luna and Capita. 

The Fight against Luna ended with Luna winning the Fight by destroying every influence of Marx. The Fight against Capita ended with a balanced draw. Capita manipulated the space around while Marx froze the time of a Certain spot where Capita stood. Even then, Marx couldn't puncture through Capita's warp space.

Anyway, that was the basic description of Governor Inquisitor Marx.

In the Cafeteria, The Diplomats sat on the Table currently used by Marx. They could feel the gazes of the Inquisitors around them. Having a lot of Powerful individuals gazing at you would be problematic. After all, while looking at you. A tiny bit of their pressure would get focused on the one they were looking at with their eyes. It wouldn't be a problem if only 1 Inquisitor gazed at you. But having hundreds of Inquisitors looking at you would probably make you feel sick. 

"Oy, all of you should continue eating your breakfast. You're making our guest uncomfortable with your stares." Marx smirked and slightly chuckled while uttering her words with a Nonchalant voice. The Inquisitors looked at Marx for five seconds before nodding in understanding. The Inquisitors stopped gazing upon the Diplomats, which made the Diplomats sigh in relief. 

"They finally stopped staring." Sella sighed in relief as she was about to puke if the Inquisitors didn't stop staring at her. Aurora and Malgon nodded in agreement. The pressure from the stares of hundreds of Inquisitors was too much for them to handle. Hearing the words of Sella, Marx merely smiled and apologized. "I apologize for their disrespectful actions. It is simply their first time seeing guest entering their home."

Aurora looked at Marx and replied. "We understand their actions. There is no need for an apology Governor Inquisitor." Marx couldn't help but smile after hearing Aurora's words. The two of them were smiling at each other as Sella couldn't help but pout at seeing the two of them. Malgon then slightly coughed as Marx shook her head and flicked her fingers. 

The Diplomats began their breakfast with Marx staring at them. The Inquisitors stopped looking at them, which was a good thing but having the Governor Inquisitor personally stare at them upfront was something the Diplomats didn't expect. They continued eating their breakfast, though Aurora stopped for a second and turned her silver eyes towards Marx. 

"I am quite curious about how the Inquisitors met with the Great Ruler of Azathoth. If you may, can I know more about your origins?" Aurora asked with an honest voice. Marx continued smiling towards Aurora as she looked at her with an aloof expression. Marx understood the curiosity of Aurora. After all, they were the same. 

"I understand your curiosity. Despite releasing Demonic Aura, you feel nostalgia while staring at us. We remind you of something. Maybe your race?" Marx replied with a calm voice as Aurora nodded in agreement. Aurora was indeed curious about the Inquisitors. The Demon Crescents resembled the Lycans of the Beastfolk. The only difference was the Demon Crescents still had their Original Wolf Form.

"The Inquisitors remind me of my Ancestors long ago before becoming the Lycans of Bestia. The Interchangeable Forms between Humanoid and Beast could only appear in Stories in the Nation of Bestia. Such Interchangeable Legend got understood as the peak evolution of the Beastfolk. Unfortunately, despite having such ability in the past. We Beastfolk lost it, and scriptures about its existence were as rare as finding a bone before creation." Aurora sadly sighed. 

A Lot of Beastfolk wished to regain their Beast form. Most gained it through great efforts, and only those at the Zenith could get it. Even Aurora herself didn't have a Beast form, though the Great Ruler did have a Nine-tailed Fox Beast form. 

"It was a long time ago..." 

"During that time, The Ork Subjugation Army was invading the Occidental Region. The Ork Nation planned to capture every Daemon Beast and used them as parts of their Grand Army. The Reasons for their Invasion were obvious. They wanted to invade the Occidental Region and take it for themselves."

"Master thwarted their plan by destroying the Ork Subjugation Army. After its destruction, the Silver Wolves ended with nothing other than their women and children. Most men died fighting to defend the tribe. It was quite a horrible situation, but the Master decided to help the Silver Wolves and made us her first subordinates. It was the great honor we ever had." 

"With that, The Inquisition began." 

Marx smiled as if she remembered a good memory from the past. The only problem was the simple fact that it hadn't been a year since Persia became their Master. Why was Marx treating it as if hundreds of years had passed? Well, let the Governor Inquisitor dream for herself.

"You were fortunate to meet the Demon Lord of Azathoth during the time of your loss," Malgon spoke with a calm voice as Marx nodded in agreement. The existence of their Master and the fact that she helped them was something the Silver Wolves wouldn't be able to pay even if they had served their Master for eternity. 

"Let's not talk about the past. Why don't you Diplomats talk about yourself? After all, I did reveal the origin of the Demon Crescents. You would need to pay the information with your personal information." Marx smirked towards the Diplomats. The Diplomats couldn't help but wryly smile after hearing her words. They don't have many choices other than being honest. After all, Marx was correct about the payment for the information.

Meanwhile, within the Demon Lord Office, deep within the Fortress Bastion. Persia was sitting on her chair with Ego right beside her. They were staring at Luna, which had the reports needed for the future stages of their Nation. "It seems that you have compiled them," Persia smirked as Luna nodded in agreement.

"I have compiled the races that would be under the recruitment option of the Inquisition. There are quite a lot, and it seems that we would have to divide our forces if we wanted the results to appear in a week." Luna continued speaking in her calm voice. Ego nodded in satisfaction as Persia looked at the paper with the reports and asked. 

"What do you think about them, Luna? I want to ask you as the Strongest Governor Inquisitor." Persia asked with a Soothing voice. Luna looked at Persia's Golden Amber Eyes with her Purple Amethyst Eyes. She smiled as she answered Persia's question with an honest voice. 

"I'd rather not have any races of the Occidental Region to join us. But if they could help Master. I would throw my opinion for Master's sake." Luna bowed as Persia's Golden Amber Eyes glowed. Luna's opinion was honest. Persia found herself surprised about it. After all, she had thought that Luna would lie and agree with her decisions with a smile. 

"I'm proud that you are honest," Persia said as Luna wryly smiled. "Honesty hurts as much as a Bomb that destroys the Inquisition."

"Even then, I want you to be clear of your opinions and wouldn't get silent about it." Persia wanted her subordinates to be honest with her. She didn't want to live in a fantasy where everyone agreed with her decisions. 

"Well, It seems that you have forgotten that you still hadn't answered Sister's question." Ego spoke with her Monotone voice as Persia and Luna realized they didn't even talk about the question. Luna couldn't help but scratch her hair and smiled towards her teacher. "I apologize about it, Teacher." 

"There is no need to apologize. Why don't you answer my Sister's question first? What do you think about the compiled races of the Inquisition?" Ego questioned with her monotone voice as Luna started thinking about the report. She started wracking her brain about it and finally had something within her mind. 

"Why don't we start with them.." Luna smiled while pointing towards a Certain race.
