Several months later…
In an area that was full of yellow and blue planets.
The strange creatures in spacesuits were ignited, and turned into fireballs after Angele waved his hand.
The creatures had their mouths open, but their voice could not be heard in space. It felt like watching a voiceless science fiction movie.
A woman in a golden spacesuit was charging at Angele crazily; however, when she was about 100 meters away from Angele, she was burnt into ashes.
*CHI*
Suddenly, Angele felt like he heard noise made by a bat.
Angele raised his head and looked at the other side of the area.
‘It’s Ken’s energy movement… The battle is getting intense.’ Angele blinked his eyes and calmed down. ‘I guess I need to move faster.’
Angele glanced around and confirmed that there was no enemy left. He started teleporting again.
**
Several days later.
In front of a yellow planet somewhere in the central area.
Angele stood in the void with his hands behind his back. His long red robe was waving in the gentle ion wind from the sun. The radiation from the sun was like nothing to him. He could easily handle it.
‘That’s it. This is one of the destinations. I can reach my destination through this area, and this is the fastest way.’
There were blue light dots flashing in front of his eyes. Rows of data were being refreshed in his sight; he was calculating the thickness of the dimension here.
He glanced around. ‘Before that, I have something else to take care of.”
On the planet, inside a silver command tower.
“I knew it! They are going after the jump point!” The commander’s voice was deep. “Luckily, we found their destinations ahead of time. Is everything prepared?”
“Yes, Commander, the defense system of the planet has been activated. We have deployed the war satellites,” a female general behind him reported.
“Earth Star is the empire’s… Actually, the alliance’s strongest gate! It’s so strong that even the ancient star cannon can’t damage it. I want to see what you can do, you filthy creatures!” The commander smiled. “The four jumping points are guarded by the alliance’s best generals. I think we can finally finish them off.”
Suddenly, the smile disappeared from his face.
“Alright, are the devices prepared? If we can capture this one alive, the empire will be able to get some valuable data.”
“I’m prepared.”
“Good, then. They won’t be able to escape this time.” The commander laughed.
A thick silver metal barrier appeared around the yellow planet, and completely covered it.
Countless cannons appeared on the surface of the metal barrier. The metal ball almost looked like a beehive.
All the cannons aimed at Angele, who was floating in the sky.
‘Planetary cannons, huh?’ Angele was interested in the metal ball.
He opened his arms, and a lot of thick, dark smoke was released from his body.
The dark smoke quickly turned into countless black strings and charged at the planet. The black smoke strings, which looked like snakes, moved into the cannons. The light around the tips of the cannons faded away immediately.
Angele’s body started expanding. His skin turned from pale to yellow, then from yellow to gray.
His height increased from two meters to ten meters, from ten meters to 100 meters, from 100 meters to 1000 meters, and from 1000 meters to 10 000 meters.
He turned from a human being into a humongous scorpion monster.
*ROAR*
The scorpion roared and inhaled deeply. His body started expanding again.
The dark smoke was coming from all directions; the scorpion was absorbing it. The scorpion’s height increased to over 300 kilometers, and its size to the size of a planet.
The scorpion monster’s body turned translucent; it felt like the monster lost part of its physical form.
Angele grabbed the planet with his legs, which stabbed into the metal barrier like sharp daggers.
There were voices screaming in the void.
“Lord of Terror! Great Lord of Terror!”
“The world shall tremble in fear!”
“Angele Fenrir Rio, the Scorpion God!”
The voices were from the void, but it felt like they were just strange vibrations that came from nowhere.
The scorpion monster held the planet hard, and the needle on his tail rose high.
*CHI*
The needle stabbed into the surface of the planet.
The silver metal barrier started rotating and collapsing, revealing the largest cannon hiding behind the barrier. The cannon, which was over 300 meters long, had finished gathering the energy. There was white light inside the cannon.
The white light flashed.
There was no noise. It felt like nothing happened.
Angele’s terrifying true form was swallowed by the white light.
*KA*
After the white light flashed, the surface of the planet was removed, and its true form was revealed. It was a gate.
A gate was built inside the planet.
Angele was pushed away by the white light. Some red light flashed on his body, and he quickly recreated the red robe. Floating in front of the gate, he was not injured at all.
‘That’s the strongest power the mortals of this world have… The same power as a rank 7 wizard… That’s way too weak…’ The area damage barely did anything to his body. If they could focus all the energy at one point, the situation might be slightly different.
Angele was a bit disappointed. He looked at the black gate in front of him quietly. It was a gate to another realm, and was tightly closed.
The complicated patterns on the gate were the history of this planet.
Countless red light dots appeared around Angele’s body. The light dots looked like waterdrops that were floating in the space.
‘Huh? This is…’ Angele was a bit surprised. ‘A forced teleportation?!’
The light from the light dots got intense before he could do anything.
Angele’s sight blurred for a second, and a lot of golden flames appeared around him. The lava that came from nowhere filled up the area around him.
A strong energy wave appeared under his feet. It felt like a volcano was about to erupt.
The area below his feet exploded, and the whole place was boiling.
*BOOM*
In front of the black gate, the star that shined upon the gate for billions of years exploded.
The golden fireball shrank and expanded. It exploded like a watermelon that was filled up with golden lava. A colorful glow surrounded by the exploding the star.
The golden light was eye-blinding; the golden lava spurted out of the star and swallowed all the planets in the area.
The whole area turned into a sea of fire.
“The explosion of a star! You can only die!” Behind the gate, there was a silver spaceship. The commander was laughing as he looked at the light screen in front of him, but the signals were interrupted by the explosion.
*BOOM*
The gate was pushed hard, and was blown away by the impact. The gate rolled several times in a dark space and landed on the ground.
Angele’s body was surrounded by the golden flames. He entered the gate and landed on the ground as well.
*PA*
A drop of red water landed on the back of his hand.
Angele raised his head and noticed the space was raining. The red raindrops ignored the rules of physics, falling crazily.
“The realm is crying.” Raising his hand, he caught a raindrop. The liquid felt like blood. “This realm knows that it’s about to end.”
Angele remained calm, and started flying again.
The silver spaceships that hid in the darkness exploded as Angele passed by. They turned into balls of red flames and brightened up the area ahead. The souls of the soldiers were all absorbed by Angele’s body.
The dark space felt like a random empty hole in the space. Below the dark space, there was a silver ball that was rotating quietly, its surface glowing.
Angele slowly landed near the silver ball and touched its surface using his hand.
Suddenly, the silver light got intense.
Angele’s sight blurred for a second, and the silver slowly faded away. After the light was gone, he was already in a different place.
It was a shell-shaped space. The wall looked like red crystals that were covered with lava. The energy waves released by the wall were extremely strong.
There was a golden circle that was full of runes on the ground. A hole in the center of the circle was releasing a ray of blue light.
A man in a yellow robe was standing by the blue ray. It was Vans. He arrived before Angele, and reached into the blue ray using his hands. However, his body was frozen by the ray.
Angele blinked his eyes. He moved closer to Vans and started observing.
There were many strange blue runes in the ice statue, and he looked a bit like an evil god that practiced the power of the bloodline. However, these runes were all blue, mixed in the ice. The ice around Vans stopped him from doing anything.
“So, this is a necessary step.” Angele smiled as he recognized the complicated runes. The runes were left by the realm guardians and the evil gods who were once a part of this universe. Their runes turned into the power of the universe; they were protecting the origin of this realm.
Angele could still feel the life energy inside the bird’s body.
He walked to the other side of the blue ray and raised his head. The blue ray pierced through the red crystal barrier; Angele could not see the end of it.
“The ancestor already became part of the realm core… I have only one choice left…”
Two golden hourglasses appeared in his eyes, and the sand started falling.
Angele reached into the blue ray as well, and his hands started freezing.
The chill climbed up his spine and his sight blurred. His body was covered by the ice several seconds later.
Strangely, the blue ice quickly turned red; it had the same color as blood.
