Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 61 - The Planet's Will



-----

Since it all started that the world knew, it was previously alerted of it.

Yes, the world itself, planet Earth.

Since its creation that the planet began to slowly gain consciousness as a collective, hive-minded entity that encompassed all life in the world.

Through the over-accumulation of life energy, it crystalized a core within its center, where it stored most of its knowledge, information, and anything it could store from all live forms originating in the surface.

Through eons it remained in silence, although it slowly learned about the rest of the galaxy and the universe it existed by sending waves of energy across to gather data through them, it concentrated on surviving by itself and maintaining the precious life within its surface.

As humans emerged and they made up civilizations and prayed to Gods, this energy concentrated into the prayers of humans was sent to the Core of the World, and it began to develop more intelligence akin to humans, and later on even superior.

Through its years of development, it grew attached to humans, and it once conceived many miracles to them, trying to help the growing civilizations.

However, humans grew too conceited, and after they began to overpopulate the world, they forgot about their Gods and began to walk alone through the path of science.

In a near magic-less world such as Earth, people were not able to develop Magic naturally, and thus, without magic, they began to see the world as cruse and lifeless, unaware that it had consciousness and whose capabilities were already akin to the Gods they once prayed to.

Even when forgotten, it strived to protect humanity and life itself, as the world, Earth, saw them as its children. Without realizing it, it had adopted a motherly nature… perhaps due to the influence of the humans and their prayers.

Approximately one thousand years ago, it suddenly sensed a disturbance far greater within not only her body, the world, but all around where her waves of energy reached. The entire galaxy, no, the universe itself was trembling, this was already when the entity known as the Great One Above All Creation began to merge the "wasteful" dimensions into one to trigger the Ragnarök.

Since this process began that all Worlds similar to her received a rush of information about what was yet to come, some Worlds decided to train their living beings, while others despaired and felt like there was no chance.

Earth, sadly, was one of the latter. Due to being classified as a "Lower-Ranked" World by this message, she was near magic-less, her population was not able to properly learn and adapt to magic either, or it would need millions of years of adaptation. But humans had grown completely magic-less to the point that any contact with true magic would be rejected from their bodies, and could most likely kill them.

However, for those 1000 years, it didn't give up.

It continued to generate some way, some kind of power or ability that could be granted to humans.

But it was only able to create it after Ragnarök finally hit Earth, the Soul Records.

By using her natural connection with all the worlds within Earth, the world was able to create the Soul Records, an ability that let all humans adapt to magic, learn Skills, level up, and even gain items and power from the invasive creatures that would one day come from different dimensions to invade Earth.

But because its work was more complex than it imagined, it took way longer to finish her work, and when the Ragnarök arrived it was quite late for humans to get used to this power, and it ended just as much of a surprise for them as the total chaos happening everywhere.

She suddenly felt great pain all over her body as the dimensions merged, an enormous tentacled entity opened a rift in space, an entity that called itself the Ancient One, who began to shamelessly drain her energy like a vicious and monstrous parasite, another group of entities that called themselves the Saints, who rushed into this lower-ranked world to conquer it and gain as much power from it, and another group of highly technologically advanced entities that called themselves The Hive, who desired to extract all life in the world to use as materials for magical tools.

And to boot, several Dimensional Rifts emerged as well, teleporting parts of alien worlds into the planet's surface… as the area where Gustav currently was.

It was complete Chaos, and Humanity was decreasing at an alarming rate, the first three hours since the Apocalypse started had already killed millions, the monsters that emerged everywhere, and the three powerful "factions" that were all destroying the world, conquering it, or trying to abduct all life from it were doing a splendid job…

Earth was on its last days, and she was slowly losing hope.

However, she remembered the light she fell in that day, 7 days ago…

That strange light that descended from far away, farther than the universe itself, which flew into a single human in all of Earth…

"The Player…" she thought. Due to seeing so much chaos and suffering, she had completely forgotten about The Player, the one chosen by the Great One Above All Creation, the only one in her low-ranked world.

After receiving such big amounts of damage from the Ancient One, she had felt quite dizzy, but quickly after, she finally realized where was The Player located at… Due to his Supreme System, he was the first human to have begun fighting monsters, and was already halfway through cleaning a complete Dimensional Rift by himself!

"Amazing… Could he really be… my hope?" she wondered, as she realized that The Player, Gustav, was growing at an exponential rate… but even then, it was not enough.

If she wanted to survive, he needed to grow even faster than that.

"I have to do something… Ah! That Dungeon that emerged when that Dimensional Rift appeared… I have to create a connection to it with my powers, so I can speak to him! It seems that he is slowly making his way there… I have to hurry…!"
