Chapter 629: [Just know that I want you!]
“What to do next?”
Everyone stopped in front of this pitch-black mountain.
“Is this the Ruins of the Gods?” Chang’e asked, doubtfully. She then stared at the large Mountain in front of her, full of curiosity and interest.
“Should be…” Apollo muttered. “From here on out, even I don’t know what is going to happen. All I know is that behind this mountain is the creature we are looking for…!”
“…The Ruins of the Gods—just a mere name is already ominous.”
“But we don’t have a choice, nor could we go back anymore…! The mainland is already fighting now! The War has begun! The least we could do is prepare a good place to accommodate them if things gone worst.” Apollo’s voice could be heard in each person’s ears. He then walked over and touched the ‘door’ that looked roughly twenty meters in height and probably ten meters in length. It was a large pair of doors with a simple design.
Reaching his hand out, Apollo’s brows furrowed; “If I’m not mistaken, this interspatial door should be the gate which leads to the Ruins of the Gods. And I can feel that it is covered by a layer of invisible force.”
“Will all of you go with me?” Apollo asked just in case.
“Speak less, do you think we will still retreat after coming this far?” Frey snorted.
Forseti and Chang’e also nodded as well. In any case, even if they won’t go in, they would still face another problem at the Mainland!
Might as well, see what this [Paradiso] really is!
“Well then, let’s go!”
As he spoke, Apollo’s body suddenly emitted a ray of blinding golden light.
This ray of golden light, like that of the rays of the sun, struck directly against the interspatial door.
Rumble—!!!
The quiet seafloor suddenly began to shudder, and the previously translucent ‘door’ suddenly emanated with a blinding, dazzling light, as though a membrane had suddenly covered and sealed it.
“This is—?! Help me with it!”
Apollo frowned, not expecting the barrier to be this powerful. Frey, Forseti and Chang’e glanced at each other and nodded. Frey’s aura exploded, a green light covered his body. Forseti’s power was color white while Change’s was pale blue—all of them burst forth in power and immediately attack the ‘door’ together.
In an instant, they suddenly felt a pushing forcing—Frey and Chang’e was startled and a pair of lines appeared beneath them due to them being pushed back.
“What the! So powerful?!” Chang’e’s expression changed.
Their eyes narrowed almost simultaneously and the magic power within them exploded. They are four Gods, and not just any other Gods, four High Gods and yet--they are actually the one being pushed back? How is this possible?!
BOOOOoooOOOOmmmmMMM—!!!
A few seconds later, under the four Gods full-power attack, the barrier finally burst apart like a popped bubble. The entire deep-sea shook and even mountain slightly trembled. Under the Gods eyes, the membrane protecting the door collapsed.
Seeing this, each one of them breathes a sigh of relief.
“That was hard…!”
“Damn it, I felt like half of my power was consumed in an instant! This is insane!”
“Who the hell put a barrier like this here? It was so strong, if I were alone, I don’t think I would be able to shatter the barrier…”
“In any case, it was already destroyed. We need to go there, if we still need to stay here for long, I fear we wouldn’t be able to protect ourselves from the pressure. My Magic Power is already at quarter just by that attack alone—damn it! Those who put such a strong barrier deep within this ocean are truly vile! No justice!”
Even if one was able to break through this barrier, they would surely be crushed from the water pressure due to the lack of magical power to protect them afterward. Fortunately, they came here by four Great Gods and even still, almost fell short!
Damn it!
This protection is exaggerated!
“Let’s go!”
“Follow me. All in at the same time.” Apollo nodded and immediately flew to the interspatial door, and with one step, turned into a golden light crossed through to the other side. As he did, Apollo completely disappeared from the line of sight from the people present. Though, they immediately followed as well.
“What a strange place.” Chang’e could clearly sense that the moment she stepped across the interspatial door, she had a strange feeling, as though she were a person swimming in the water who suddenly stepped onto dry land. It was as though the entire environment had changed.
This is…a different world?
It’s not a simple domain but in fact, a real-world—or should be a different place!
They were all still at the bottom of the sea. Only, it was the bottom of the sea of a different plane.
“What a strange feeling.” Chang’e had a sense of being ill-at-ease upon entering this new dimension.
“So the Ruins of the Gods is actually in another plane.” Frey now understood. “Only, the plane of the Ruins of the Gods is connected to the Southern Sea, Seabed.”
This was much like a pocket dimension or a dungeon. The hidden location of the Ruins of the Gods was also linked up with the Celestial Realm, however, it was in another dimension plane. You can even say, this place seemed to be an independent world separated from the Celestial Realm.
As a High God, they are much sensitive in this aspect compared to any other creature...!
Frey drew near Chang’e and said to her spiritually, “Young Lady Chang’e, in this plane, even my spiritual energy can only encompass ten or so meters. In addition, this dimension is filled with countless powerful monsters. You should be careful! We can’t separate from each other carelessly, as if we do, if we are surrounded by those countless monsters, we might fall from the sky.”
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“… …” Chang’e nodded her head.
As they were flying through the dark, dim tunnel that even their eyes can’t see through, only following the light seemingly at the end of the tunnel, the three male Gods even without saying anything, immediately surrounded Chang’e from three sides.
Apollo and Forseti at the front while Frey was staying behind the female goddess.
"... ..."
At this care, Chang’e felt moved and his impression on these male Gods from different Clans rose up another realm.
*** ***
The dark, gloomy tunnel was ‘lit’ by black light. The group entered the tunnel. The waters of the deep sea weren’t able to enter this tunnel at all. Apollo and the other three Gods cautiously flew towards the blinding light at the end of the tunnel they were in, all while wondering what kind of wondrous would they see in this kind of place!
“Chang’e, remember. If you encounter anything dangerous, the safest thing you can do is immediately retreat and leave. Don’t bother waiting for us!” Forseti sent a telepathic message towards Chang’e. The other two men; Apollo and Frey also nodded their heads in agreement, “From now on, we don’t know what is waiting for us here. If you noticed the situation gone worst, immediately escape!”
“No way…!” Chang’e refused. She can’t possibly do such a thing—
But Apollo cut her off, “Forseti is right. Even if something happened to us, you need to survive and find Big Sister Athena. The Noah’s Ark is something our people needed to avoid complete destruction. We can’t let ourselves die together! One must survive to tell the tale!”
“Why are we talking about something inauspicious?! If we enter together, we leave together!” Chang'e cried out in a fit of anger. Although she was happy and felt move about their care but she was still a prideful God!
Being treated as a weak one feels unpleasant...!
Much more, leaving her comrades to die...is something she, her pride, couldn't do!
Apollo smile wryly. His Handsome face still beaming like sunlight even in this dim tunnel. “We’re only preparing for the worst…”
“… …” Chang'e was about to say something, however--
“Everyone, we’ve reached the end of the tunnel.” Apollo sudden said loudly. This caused the other’s expression to immediately felt tense. Who knows what is inside this place…?
“Who knows what will be in this place so don’t let your guard down.” Apollo stared at the blinding light at end of the tunnel, then stepped through it. Instantly, the world spun and the environment changed.
Whooooooooooooosh.
A wild wind was blowing, and countless leaves were flying everywhere.
The four Gods look at the scene in front of them in complete shock.
“This is…?!” Apollo stared aghast. They were surrounded by trees, plants—all of the glory of nature!
Yes, this is a forest, Apollo says to himself as he looks at the dim canopy above. A very dense forest! The leaves and branches create a kind of dome canopy over their heads. However, what makes Apollo feel strange was that sunlight flashes through the openings.
It feels warm on his face.
To top it all off, Apollo seems to see blue through the leaves.
This is the deepest part of the sea. No sunlight ever makes it down here—so why is there shade and a blue sky? Apollo was confused. Even if this a Dungeon, there is still a limit to absurdity! Much less, he was a God of the Sun, and so, whenever there is the existence of the Sun, he would immediately feel it and sense its existence.
And indeed, in this place, there is a sun, and it's not an illusion or some mere ball of light--but true sun and sky--how is this possible...?
Is there really a blue sky and warm sun on the other side of those leaves?
Then, were they transported in another world...?
“This is the deepest part…of the sea, right? Why is it so bright…?” Chang’e looks at the sky as she speaks. But no one responded to her question, no, it should be no one could.
This was an extremely desolate natural world, and the wild wind blasted the green leaves and branches everywhere and the smell of nature, even Frey somehow felt energized. This is not an illusion, this is a real forest!
RrrooOOOaaaAAAArrrrRRR—!!!
“There’s a magical beast over there.” Frey could clearly tell that off in the distance, there was a ferocious, three-horned magical beast that was hundreds of meters tall, which was currently roaring with anger. Its entire body was covered with a metallic shine, and its fierce fangs were dripping with some sort of liquid. “This magical beast appears to be quite formidable.” He muttered, his face turned grave.
Following his words, the four Gods immediately let out each of their auras. In a place like this, they didn’t dare to be incautious.
Just what is this place…?
*** ***
In the Despair Grieving Mountain: [Ruinos Castle].
Late at night, Celty returned in the room from chatting and playing with the others. Of course, she expected Allen to be asleep. So as she entered the bedroom, she made sure to be extra quiet. This week was hers, so she would be sleeping with Allen alone...
That was decided by everyone so that they would have enough alone time with Allen, although it would never be enough. They know after 2 months, Allen and the others would exit the Dungeon and return to the Celestial Realm and they would also return to the Mortal World.
Thus, they savored this time of being with him—each week, they would change personnel to be with Allen and the others would not disturb their moment, especially night activities. Perhaps it was because of a culmination of tiredness over the past few days; Allen did not get woken up...
Who knows what he was always doing all the time, so secretive—Celty sigh as she gently massaged the gap between his furrowed brows before entering the bathroom with her robe.
Half an hour later, she returned to the bed. She lifted the blanket and gently lay down beside Allen. However, just as she thought Allen had no idea that she had already returned, he suddenly rolled over and pulled her into his embrace. His movement was so natural; it was almost like she never left. Smelling his familiar scent, Celty felt blessed for this moment. She laid her head against her chest, completely enjoying the warmth and security he was emitting.
He was a Big God that all mortals would surely worship and kneel down upon and it can even be said that he had ruled over the mortal world, even with his absence, but he always maintained his pure nature. In fact, he saved the pure side of himself for her and her other sisters. And this never-changing warmth and sense of security, was like a drug to her, never be enough no matter how much she has. Only beside him could she feel such bliss and happiness…!
Celty stared at Allen’s face and confirmed that he was still asleep. He had subconsciously sensed her presence and hugged her. That was all there is to it…
This small act of his was enough to make her feel moved. Because it was clear to see that Allen would never be able to leave her. Neither of them could leave the other.
She quietly looked at her man; the man that she admired and loved. He was her beloved husband; a partner that she'd spend a whole two lifetimes loving and appreciating...I think a single or two lifetimes would not be enough… how many lifetimes she had, she wanted to spend it all with him.
With this thought, Celty suddenly pressed her body on top of Allen’s and directly pressed her lips against his...Allen’s eyes flew open instantly as if he was electrocuted. At first, he was surprised, but then he quickly responded by returning her kiss. He responded in kind, one of his arms coming around the back of Celty perfect body and holding her close to his body.
Through their close proximity, Celty could feel Allen’s ‘little brother’ responding and pressing up against her, and her mind reeled with the possibilities even as her lips and tongues battled for dominance in their passionate kiss. After they pulled away from their passionate kiss, Allen hugged Celty and asked, "What was that all about?"
Celty chuckled, her face blushing as she climbed up Allen’s body and placed her nose against his, rubbing the tip, she muttered with a smile, "I was emotionally moved so my body turned hot..."
"Huh?"
Allen wasn't quite sure what she meant. He looked into her eyes, found deep love and affection, he quietly laugh and stroked the girl’s hair, “Celty——”
"Hmm… Just know that I want you..." Celty stops Allen from speaking and once again kissed down on his lips.
Allen smiled and did not hesitate. The wife that he had missed for so long was finally back by his side and she was wildly in love with him. She was one of his proudest possessions. In fact, compared to his own power, Celty and the other girls made him happier.
Their lips parted once again, but this time Celty was silent. They look at each other, each of their images reflected on their pupils as if only the one in front of them was present in their world. “…I missed you…” Celty who seemed as though she was kissing Allen’s neck, spoke as she drew closer.
“You don’t know how desperate I was looking for you…” She, who was softly speaking into his ear, caused him to feel at ease.
The cool, chivalrous girl spoke in a dream-like, gentle voice. “You won’t leave me behind this time, right?” Her voice was pitiful, and a teardrop blossomed in the corner of her eye. The feeling of guilt she was giving Allen was unavoidable.
“Fool…” Allen smiled wryly. “Not this time around, nor in the future…” The fragrance of the girl’s body and a man’s scent constantly teased their senses of smell and heartstrings. Her eyes curved like a crescent moon, and her alluring red lips along with her snow-white teeth left him dazed as Allen stared at her.
Seemingly drunk from the love and passion, Celty placed the entire weight of her body onto Allen, and peacefully closed her eyes. Lust and pleasure had already been transferred using her lips and tongue, her sweet breath and saliva tickled his desires.
