What was behind the gate?
‘Mecantron’, the Angel King who was standing on the other end of the Pathway of Immortality, also asked himself. What exactly was the mysteries of immortality that so many experts tried to touch?
Rudolf II, who had already turned into ‘Mecantron’, did not bother with his current form. He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, “After I learn the mysteries of immortality, I’ll find a chance to kill Lucien Evans and Rhine Carendia. I don’t think that the Silver Moon can arrive at this place.”
The mysteries of immortality obviously could not be shared!
As for why he did not attack the two of them immediately, Rudolf II was certainly glad that somebody eliminated dangers ahead of them. Who knew what was behind the gate of immortality?
What was behind the gate?
The Lord of Hell, hiding inside the Pathway of Immortality in a weird form, looked at Lucien and Rhine up ahead and the ‘Angel King’ nearby, and asked himself.
The World of Souls had always been inconspicuous. Even in the age of myths, he only detected that there was such a secret world but failed to find the entrance. He never really got in touch with the World of Souls for real until the Master of Argent discovered the place by accident. At that time, the mysterious existence of the World of Souls was almost recovered and showed the traces of immortality to the Lich King and his other subordinates.
Therefore, he also learnt about the Chamber of Immortality and part of the secrets of the Saint Truth. Their thousand years of planning and failures were all for this moment!
As long as the gate was opened, the mysteries of immortality would be unfolded before him!
Although they were natural-born demigods, the Lord of Hell believed that Silver Moon, Abyss and himself gained the initial self-awareness only when the age of myths began. They were not part of the creation of the world and life. So, they did not know much about how and why the world came into being.
Also, he had the vision that, even though he would not die as long as hell existed, the hell would rot and be destroyed with the entire world someday. Nothing was really everlasting. That was why he was so passionate about the mysteries of immortality.
As for the mysterious existence of the World of Souls, the Lord of Hell believed that he gained his consciousness in the same period, but he perished inside the Pathway of Immortality that he found in his hometown before he had the chance the share the glory of the age of myths. He could only return after a long time. However, trapped by himself and the Silver Moon, he fell into dormancy again. His life was truly miserable.
“The mysteries are only for me, Maltimus, the Lord of Hell! I have already understood the mysteries of transformation. I’ll arrive in person and erase Rhine Carendia, Lucien Evans and Mecantron before the Silver Moon reacts!”
By sacrificing the body of Geno, the Lord of Hell was confident to arrive in person at a non-main-material world!
What was behind the gate?
Lucien and Rhine were so enthralled by the question that their soul was almost suffocated. Why were Thanos, Viken and the monster disappointed? Would he see something different?
The grey door seemed to be as heavy as a whole palace. Lucien used a lot of strength to open a tiny gap.
The moment the gap appeared, the door suddenly lost weight and moved backwards, revealing what was inside the Chamber of Immortality to Lucien and the rest of them!
There were no walls, bricks or any object inside the Chamber of Immortality; behind the door was the most vast cosmos that was emitting a supernatural, condescending air.
Profound darkness was all over the cosmos. Stars radiate their brilliance and gathered into bright constellations, which only added to the coldness and boundless feeling of the cosmos.
Lucien was stunned at first. He extended his right hand subconsciously and penetrated through the stars without meeting any hindrance. They seemed to be here but were not here, just like the Furnace of Souls.
However, it had a weird sense of compatibility with this world.
The galaxies inside the cosmos changed like a movie, zooming in nonstop until a familiar star appeared before Lucien. Familiar still was the blue planet next to it!
“This is…” Lucien’s pupils constricted abruptly, and a weird sense of familiarity surged.
Is it Earth?
It is Earth!
This is the cosmos I was in before I transmigrated!
“Is this the mystery of immortality?” Lucien blurted out, with intense shock and confusion.
“Is this the mystery of immortality?” Rhine sounded apparently surprised, disappointed and confused. A silver moon suddenly rose from his back, and the air of Silver Moon in Lucien’s left hand jumped out, accepting the illumination of moonlight.
Everything about Lucien had been transformed into the weird ghost state. The cluster of air was no exception. It grew into Alterna very soon.
“A projection has arrived…” When they encountered the monster, Lucien speculated that Alterna would help him deal with the monster through Rhine, but it did not happen. He did not know that Alterna would arrive with a projection by Rhine’s summoning and the air in his left hand.
So, that was why Alterna left air in his left hand. That was really ‘visionary’!
Alterna appeared as innocent as before. Looking at the cosmos inside the Chamber of Immortality, she said in a daze, “Where’s it mean? Is this the mysteries of immortality?”
“Is this the mysteries of immortality?” The Angel King asked uncontrollably in his surprise and disappointment, his voice reaching Lucien’s ears.
“Is this the mysteries of immortality?” the Lord of Hell’s smile of mockery was frozen on his face.
If he intended to appreciate the cosmos, he would have enjoyed it after a space jump! What mysteries of immortality was that?
He did not try to contain himself. Such ‘mysteries of immortality’ were not enough for him to sacrifice the body of Geno!
As the Lord of Hell, he had always been a standard merchant who considered costs and returns.
It was only when he spoke that Lucien realized that he had been tailed by a series of enemies. However, since the Silver Moon was here, his life was definitely not in danger.
Turning around, he looked at the cosmos and the blue planet that he couldn’t have been more familiar with. He frowned and thought for a moment, before he was relaxed. “Is this the mysteries of immortality?”
“What do you see?” Asked Rhine.
Do they have to become real gods in order to see the mysteries of immortality like Thanos said?
Lucien admitted frankly, “A vast cosmos, many stars that shine like the sun, and many planets that do not glow.”
“We’re the same. Is this the mysteries of immortality?” Rhine said in a self-mocking smile.
Alterna moved her eyes away and looked at Lucien. “Thank you for your trouble so far.”
Rudolf II, seeing that the mysteries of immortality were just that, and the projections of the Silver Moon and the Lord of Hell were both here, dropped the idea of killing the two enemies. He snorted, “The mysteries of immortality are just a scam!”
While talking, he hurried to retreat to the Realm of Gates.
The Lord of Hell naturally lost the interest of fighting, too. Such mysteries would’ve been overpriced even if they were exchanged for one of his attacks. Although it was an acceptable business to control the Angel King, the Silver Moon was watching and the guy was already vigilant. There was a good chance that he would escape with God’s Guard.
As for killing Lucien for ‘revenge’, the Lord of Hell had the idea until the Silver Moon arrived. He could only hold the thought back and mocked, “Is this the mysteries of immortality? Thanos was a dummy! How long are you going to keep watching it? Do you think you can see through it?”
Until they saw the truth, everybody tended to think that they were the most special one.
In his laughter, the Lord of Hell left the Pathway of Immortality.
After the Lord of Hell left, Rhine calculated the time. “Let’s go out, too. If we turn back in this place, we may be killed directly.”
Lucien moved his eyes away from the cosmos. Closing his eyes, he said, “Alright.”
Alterna brought Lucien and Rhine out of the Pathway of Immortality. Confirming that the Lord of Hell had left, she nodded at Lucien as a gesture of ‘gratitude’ again. Then, she dispersed and recalled the power of projection.
At this moment, Fernando and Douglas also went out of the entrance of the Realm of Gates. They saw Lucien and Rhine.
Fernando was secretly relieved. Then he roared, “How did you come out from that way?”
Hearing the familiar roar, Lucien suddenly had many complicated feelings. Was the adventure going to end just like that?
Looking at the Furnace of Souls and the chamber at the end of the ‘Pathway of Immortality’, Lucien thought to himself, “Mysteries of immortality…?”
……
On their way towards the advance base, Lucien told his experiences to Douglas and Fernando.
Solemnly, Fernando considered the things about Viken, while he yelled at Lucien, “You didn’t know that the Lord of Hell was following you? If the Silver Moon didn’t arrive, you would have been in serious trouble!”
“If the Silver Moon didn’t arrive and we fought there…” Lucien murmured.
“What are you suggesting?” Fernando didn’t quite understand what he meant.
Lucien shook his head, hinting that he did not mean anything, but he thought to himself, “…I might not have been the one who was in trouble.”
“Inside the vast cosmos, other than stars and planets, there are also black holes…”
In his cognitive world, the locations of black holes and enormous stars swapped nonstop.
……
Inside the Chamber of Immortality, the infinite cosmos changed without a moment of rest. Suddenly, a cluster of darkness that did not reveal any light surfaced. As the unimaginably terrifying force of attraction spread out, the door of the chamber was closed after a huge noise.
The Pathway of Immortality resumed eternal peace again.
