Heir of Synthesis: The World Mage

Dandara closed her eyes and began meditating in complete silence.

Slowly, Priam felt the energy flow within her body awaken, until a subtle, whitish, radiant aura began to bloom around her figure.

’First level completed in seconds...’ Priam murmured inwardly, watching as her foundation perfectly consolidated.

Then, the aura thickened drastically, expanding until it covered about ten centimeters around Dandara. The light looked like a soft white flame.

However, within mere minutes, it began to grow and surge with overwhelming force!

At that moment, all the Sages inside the Palace reopened their eyes in alarm. Dandara’s aura acted like a colossal vortex, drawing in the Goddess’s energy scattered throughout the surroundings and creating a seismic disturbance. But it didn’t stop there.

Outside, all the concentrated Yin pressure on the immense staircase lost its balance and flowed chaotically into the temple, like a storm converging toward a single point.

The entire power and very structure of the Sacred Yin Palace began to tremble and vibrate, channeling its essence directly toward Dandara.

Priam remained by her side, watching the spectacle with a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, in the vicinity of the Palaces, the hundreds of disciples passing by outside widened their eyes in utter astonishment.

”GOOD HEAVENS! Look up! It’s the Pixies!”

Someone shouted while pointing at the clouds.

In the sky, hundreds of winged female figures appeared, cutting through the air at full speed and desperately converging toward the same location.

”What the hell is going on?!”

In the deepest region of the inner sect, an Elder roared in alarm.

That unprecedented fluctuation instantly triggered the ancestral inscription’s warning system. Within seconds, the Sect Leader, the Grand Elder, and all the Central Elders were urgently summoned.

It was a runic alarm that no one in the sect’s history had ever seen go off. When the Sect Leader and the group of Central Elders gathered in the command center, panic and confusion were clearly visible on everyone’s faces. They all stared at the warning runes, trying to figure out what had happened.

Until Central Elder Vander quickly came to a realization.

”Wait... where’s Priam?!”

All the Elders turned toward him, and the atmosphere froze. The expressions of the upper echelons changed instantly.

The Sect Leader quickly took out his emblem and accessed the location records. The inscription clearly indicated the exact Palace where he was.

Without hesitating for even a second, they all tore through the Void and disappeared from the hall.

Back at the Sacred Yin Palace.

At the exact millisecond Dandara opened her eyes and the couple rose to their feet, the space inside the hall violently rippled, and dozens of imposing figures emerged from the spatial rift.

The eyes and senses of the Leader and all the Elders were immediately drawn toward the pair.

*Flap! Flap! Flap!*

The deafening sound of several hundred wings suddenly echoed throughout the hall. The Palace’s upper dome opened, and a swarm of Pixies recklessly poured into the hall. All of them wore expressions overflowing with panic and reverence.

”Big Brother Priam!”

An excited voice rang out amid the chaos, and Eudora ran toward them without the slightest hesitation.

Stopping in front of Priam, the little girl beamed brightly before turning toward Dandara and staring at her with deep curiosity.

”This big sister... is she the Queen?”

”Queen?” Priam murmured softly.

At that moment, a Pixie with a more majestic presence stepped forward.

She stared deep into Dandara’s eyes, trembling from head to toe in utter shock.

Dandara was slightly perplexed by her reaction. Then...

That Pixie drew in a sharp breath, bent her knees, and quickly knelt down, pressing her forehead against the ground.

Immediately, like dominoes, all the Pixies around them landed and repeated the same gesture right behind her. In the blink of an eye, the monumental hall was filled with more than 700 Pixies kneeling in absolute reverence.

”What are you...?” the Sect Leader murmured, completely dumbfounded.

Priam was the only one whose expression showed understanding.

His earlier thoughts had been absolutely correct. The Sovereign Goddess had designed that technique so that she herself could relearn it in the future, securing an army with overwhelming potential in advance.

The Pixies were mystical beasts, and inevitably, her reincarnation would inherit the ancestral ability to tame and guide them.

Eudora remained the only one standing, staring at the kneeling members of her race with an utterly confused expression.

The Pixie at the front raised her gaze, looking at Dandara with deep serenity.

”Great Queen... at last, we can fulfill our mission.”

”Mission?” Dandara murmured, intrigued.

”Yes. The Sovereign Goddess left her words engraved in the memories of every generation of our race. One day, a Queen would emerge to guide us. The means of identifying her would be unquestionable: she would be the only one capable of mastering the ninth level of Sacred Yin, and her essence would resonate perfectly with ours.”

After finishing her words, the Pixie bowed her head deeply in submission.

Behind them, the Sect Leader and all the Central Elders remained catatonic at the revelation.

They fixed their eyes on Dandara, feeling the gentle and majestic Yin aura flowing from her body and filling the surroundings.

Maut turned to Priam and let out a soft sigh, silently nodding. At that moment, the same thought crossed the minds of every authority present:

Like attracts like.

That extraordinary young man, whose every step could never be predicted, had someone just as extraordinary as himself by his side.

Dandara turned toward Priam and, noticing his approving gaze, let a confident smile bloom on her lips.

She turned back toward the army of Pixies and puffed out her chest.

”I think I understand... this technique really was designed to command and connect with other people. Anyway...”

Dandara’s tone became firm and solemn.

”All of my soldiers and allies walk on the line between life and death. Boss always attracts formidable enemies, and we are his shield and spear during the most crucial moments. Are you truly willing to risk everything and sacrifice yourselves for this cause?”

The central Pixie raised her gaze with unwavering determination.

”Yes. Our entire race was saved by the Sovereign Goddess; without her, we would have disappeared eras ago. We will fight until the very last of us, and we will do anything to serve her without hesitation. Only... if possible, I beg you to preserve the life of at least one of us, so that our lineage does not become extinct.”

Dandara immediately nodded.

”I will never allow you to disappear. I will also give everything I have to make sure none of you die. From today onward, you will be my allies, never mere tools of war.”

Right behind them, the Sect Leader turned toward the Elders and gave them a discreet nod. Understanding the message, they all tore through the Void and disappeared from the hall. They needed to call an emergency meeting immediately; this event was something completely unprecedented in the history of the sect.

”Boss, I got quite the reinforcement all at once, hehehe...” Dandara smiled sweetly as she turned toward Priam.

He returned her smile with a calm nod. ”Go with them. The Pixies must have secrets and resources that you need to analyze. Looks like your workload just multiplied.”

Dandara enthusiastically agreed. ”I’ll do my best!”

She turned toward the Pixie Eudora, looking at her gently. Physically, she was practically a fully grown adult, just like the others behind her. But clearly, her mind was still immature.

”You’re the smartest of them all, aren’t you? You were the first to realize how incredible Boss is, and that he would eventually bring me here. Even though you’re young, your instincts are sharp. From today onward, I’m your big sister, and I’ll teach you everything. You’ll help me lead your race.”

Eudora blinked, somewhat dazed. Despite having lived for thousands of years, 99% of her life had been spent asleep. That was why she had such a pure and childlike mind.

”Go with Dandara and trust whatever she says. Don’t worry, I’ll be able to play with you fairly often now,” Priam said softly.

Eudora’s eyes instantly lit up. ”Promise?”

He calmly nodded, and Dandara took the little girl’s hand.

Turning toward the others, she asked, ”So? Do you have somewhere to take me?”

The Pixies respectfully rose to their feet, agreeing in unison.

Within seconds, hundreds of wings beat together in harmonious rhythm. The swarm took flight toward the skies, this time carrying their new and rightful Queen among them.
