Dark Thoughts Interrupted
By no means was Sefira done contemplating the Arks of the Pact once again. Though the Lesser Darkness could alter and even terminate all non-primordial magic, any attempt to directly affect anything that had been concealed divinely from her would be fruitless. Her primordial displays would simply pass over that object.
One small detail came to the attention of the dark thinker, while Radueriel was being addressed by Naomi. Though neither her mother nor her uncle blurted to her, she inferred here and now that one special power could reinforce the divine concealment, so that no showcasing instrument could be found instantly by her and apported just as quickly.
The most powerful created being in existence surmised that this power had to be the forcing of all power negation coming from an Instrument of the Darkness or a stronger Dark Arch-Naphil to be a deliberate act in order to succeed. She had been prevented divinely from evaluating this feature as had been established upon the tablet computers meant for the four absent Archangels. Acquiring an Ark of the Pact would allow her to learn this inherent counter-ability at last.
The ability to add this instrumental counter-ability as an inherent one would allow non-primordial Instruments of the Dark Herald, as worn by her non-living avatars, to operate at closer distances to her very essence. Recognized divinity was not the only reason the covetous one craved to be the plenipotentiary rider of the Divine Chariot, or at least something like it. Being in the center of a contraption such as this, surrounded by corners manned by augmented avatars, would result in having an outer defensive shell that amalgamated all the resilience of those avatars.
The ability to add this instrumental counter-ability as an inherent one would enable the dark learner to have one or more personal, non-primordial implements with this power, whether assigned to her own essence, to her direct possession that was her supermassive Leviathan gestalt, or to her indirect possession that was her physical vessel. Having three of these would constitute a second, more cautious attempt at virtual omnipotence.
The dark thoughts were interrupted by a suggestion from none other than Naomi.
"Then we should capture them and manipulate their memories for information," spoke out the intelligence chief.
The Lesser Darkness found herself caught off guard with these very words.
