“Yes.”
As her vision was filled with bright light, an unimaginable amount of information suddenly flowed into her brain, like watching an insanely long movie with the fast forward option was on full speed, million years of memories, knowledge, experience, feelings, and thoughts of the original goddess Aria were flashed in front of her.
Her vision slowly returned, though it was a bit blurry at the moment but she could see the ceiling of her chamber, she tried to climb down from the bed but she stopped, as soon as she tried to move, she felt a sudden intense headache and her body felt heavier, she then took a deep breath a few times to calm herself and reorganized her thought.
Right now, she felt as if she had just woken up from a very long dream. No, it’s not a dream, it’s like she remembered everything that had happened in her past life. She understood that it’s just a fake memories that was Implanted into her brain but still, as if she had lived for a million of years, what she had seen, touched, heard, every single of her five senses were real and could still remember everything clearly.

She read through her status window and found 2 things had changed, the first was at her race status, the penalty she supposed to get when she died had changed, before, it was just like the other normal players with 30% reduction of penalty, but now it had turned into a whopping 12 months of resurrection time and other high penalties, this must be caused by the system that no longer recognize her as a player. The second one was her class status window, it had been added with infinite Knowledge when she released her seal.
After lying down for half an hour, her body felt much better and the headache had subsided considerably, she climbed down from her bed and walked back to the throne room.
The first thing she saw after entering the throne room was, Rinea and the other who were gathering around Babel while laughing It seemed they had been waiting for her for quite some time now.
She walked towards them without a sound and as she got closer to them, she greeted them with a smile on her face “You guys seems having fun, is Babel telling you something about my embarrassing past?”
They turned their heads to look at the one who greeted them and as soon as they saw her, they were stunned with their eyes and mouths opened wide as they were staring at her.
“Ah, no my lady, I just told them some old stories about your apprentices while waiting for you.” Explained Babel.
“Hmm, is that so?... Why are you guys staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Asked Aria with a smile while looking at the people in front of her.
Aria waited for them to answer her but they just kept staring at her without even batting an eyelid as if they were in trance, the only thing she could hear was Refa muttering the word “Beautiful”.
Looking at their look of trance, Aria knew that she wouldn’t get her answer for anytime soon, so she switched her gazed towards Babel while wearing questioning look on her face.
“My lady, you are in your adult form right now.”
Absolute divine beauty, it was the only word that could be used to describe Aria right now, with height around 180cm, a beautiful long straight silver hair that reached to her knee, a pair of beautiful sky blue eyes, smooth white skin and an oval face, a perfect proposition like that of a super model, her angel like smile also enhanced her beauty, even the atmosphere around her also seemed to be affected by her beauty, making an impression of an otherworldly being.
“Hmm, ah, no wonder… but when did I change? I didn’t realize it at all.” Said Aria while checking her own body.
How the hell she didn’t realize her own body had changed? Even without a mirror, she should have noticed it, the different in her height from before and now was really big which also should have changed her point of view to become a lot higher than before, Rinea wanted to ask that question but no voice came out of her mouth.
It really surprised Rinea when she turned her head and found a very beautiful woman smiling at them, moreover the woman greeted them like she was their friend. Although not like Aria’s photographic memory, but Rinea believed that she had a good memory compared to normal people and she sure that she never saw the woman before, and even if she did, there was no way that she would forget such a beautiful women, she only recognized her as Aria when Babel called her “my lady”.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Rinea tried to regain her composure by taking a few deep breath, as she muttered to herself “You are also smiling…”
This was the first time Rinea saw Aria’s smile since they had met, with Aria’s personality which hated to talk when there was nothing important to say and her calm and rational way of thinking, made her very rarely showing any kind of expression.
“Wait… “Muttered Rinea again.
As she looked at Aria more closely, a sudden realization struck Rinea’s mind, how could she just noticed it now? Quickly turning her head, she looked at Wales who was still staring at Aria with a red face like a tomato.
“Stop staring at her, you pervert!”
Rinea quickly stepped in front of Wales, blocking his vision and with her right hand she punched him straight on the face. if it was her from yesterday the damage dealt would be negligible, but now with the additional stats she got from observing quite a few work of arts in the tower which were mostly mythical pieces, and the additional force from shifting her weight to the punch, her punch now was enough to make Wales fly through the air for a few second till he landed 3 meters away from his original place.
In Royal Road all kind of equipments, accessories or clothes must be adjusted to the wearer size by their respective craftsmanship, so they could fit and didn’t make the wearer felt uncomfortable. The only exception was underwear which would be adjusted automatically by the system. And right now, because of her adult form, her former white dress with the size that was suitable for a little girl had became too small, revealing her bra and quite a lot of her cleavage and thigh.
“Hmph serve you right.” Said Rinea as she glared at Wales, she then turned her attention back to Aria and then asked “Can you change your appearance back?”
Aria responded to her with a nod and in a second her appearance had turned back into that of a little girl, she then glanced at Wales who was still lying on the floor, groaning in pain with his right hand covering his nose that was bleeding.
“Much better.” Said Rinea with a nod of satisfaction and then asked again “By the way, is that adult form the true form of goddess Aria?”
Aria nodded with a wry smile and then said “It has been almost 15.000 years since the last time anyone saw me in that form, I don’t really like that form because everyone who saw it will keep staring at me, just like what you guys did.”
Rinea became speechless when she heard that, not because of the fact that the last time she turned into her adult form was 15.000 years, but because of the way she was talking. It was as if she was the original goddess Aria herself and… wasn’t her personality a bit different from before? She was a bit… cheerful? Well, whatever it was, Rinea believed it must be because of that memory transfer thing.
She didn’t know if she should contact the GM or not, the change didn’t really have any kind of bad side effect for Aria or at least that was how she saw and felt about it, instead she thought it was kinda good change for her. After thinking about it for a bit, she decided to observe her for now.
“Well, did you find a way to fix the dimension?” Asked Rinea.
“Yes, but first. I need to reinforce the barrier that Babel had made, so that it will completely erase my presence in this realm and can unseal my power without being noticed by the other gods. Hmm, no let’s just built a new one, it will be faster that way.”
After saying that she walked to the throne and sat there, she opened The Lord Intervention Mode. It was a mode where the city lord or owner of a land/region could view all of their territories and create or build anything they wanted, as long as it was available in the lists and the materials were enough.
If they wanted to build something that was not in the list and wanted to register it, they just needed to built it manually or if they had enough information or knowledge regarding the building, the system would automatically registered the building to the list. And as a Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom, of course Aria would have the complete list of buildings that existed in Royal Road.
Aria viewed her territory or all of Etna forest, this was her first time seeing the entire area of Etna forest, it was a very large forest with a thick mist everywhere, the only place where there was no mist was at the center of the forest, where a very large crater surrounded by high cliffs was located, and at the center of the crater was standing Babel Tower.
Aria smiled when she saw the crater, the crater was around 20 km in diameters and the cliffs surrounding it was about 500 m high, a perfect place where she could built a hidden city where no one could find it easily.
Opening the list of barriers, she searched for a suitable barrier for her plans and after scrolling it for a while she found what she was looking for.
Barrier of The Lost TechnologyA perfect barrier that isn't just for protecting and preventing anyone without permission from entering, but also a perfect camouflage so that it completely hide anything inside it and impossible to be detected.
This barrier is created using lost technology and very complicated magic runes. No one know when or who created this barrier, and even though its size is small but because of the requirements to build this barrier are incredibly high and all the materials used are very rare, no one has ever tried to build it.

You can sacrifice 500 Divinity to build this building regardless of the requirements, cost and materials.
Aria sacrificed her divinity and then closed the mode after placing the building not to far from the tower so that it could cover the entire crater.
Next was to charged and activated the barrier, but it was too troublesome to go down there because later, she needed to go to the top of the tower, so she just used telepathy and told Nedia who was still at the outside of the tower to did it.
After finishing the telepathy, Aria got up from the throne and signaled the others to follow her, she led them towards the teleportation magic circle and then teleported together with them to the top of the tower.
Babel tower maybe was the tallest building in all of Vesailles Continent with height of 2.000 m, and standing on top of it was quite dangerous thing to do, because sometimes a very strong wind would appear and if you are not careful you would be blown away by it. It was not funny to fall from the height of 2.000 m straight to the ground, that was why Aria warned them to be careful of strong wind and stayed at the center of the tower.
From up here you could see the crack in the sky had spread far beyond Etna forest now,
Aria walked towards a small altar at the center and stood there while closing her eyes, a few minutes later she got telepathy from Nedia, informing her that she had activated the barrier.
“Unseal.”
Aria’s hair started to change from silver into golden, slowly, she opened her eyes that had also changed its color to golden, looking at the sky and started releasing her divine aura.
An insane pressure was attacking the others as Aria release her divine aura, making them tremble, not in fear but by something else that they couldn’t understand. Yes, it felt like they were facing a god, and in an instant they were all knelling down in front of Aria while bowing their heads to her.
Aria slowly opened her mouth and a melodious voice started to fill the air, she began to sing.
Fou ki ra hyear presia reen
Was zweie ra na stel yorra zuieg manaf
Ma zweie ra irs manaf chyet oz omnis
en na cyurio re chyet
Was touwaka gaya presia accrroad ieeya
Nn num gagis knawa na lequera walasye
Was quel gagis presia accrroad ieeya whou wearequewie fogabe
Fou ki ra hyear presia reen

Ma zweie ra irs manaf chyet oz omnis

(T/N : Some of you may already know this song, but here I will give you the link if you want to listen to it.)

The crack on the sky started to glow brightly as Aria was singing, slowly as if it was being healed the crack was disappearing and at the end of the song there was no more crack could be found in the sky.
Aria closed her eyes and took a deep breath, The sacred song of the ancient gods, the last song she taught to Tyria before she sealed the tower and herself, she wondered how she was doing now.
