2767 Star World
“You should not have attacked them, Tekr,” said the Grand Commander, and to the shock of the Grimm Grand Lord, it saw five quasi-Grand Lords being frozen to the glass.
“You bitch!” It cursed and moved to save them but stopped three delicate silvery glass staff with a pointy edge appeared in front of it, stopping it from its tracks. “It is a price for breaking an agreement,” she said, and the only thing the Grimm Grand Lord could do was glare at her.
I looked at the two bright moons and sighed; the reason elemental bodies are so desired and feared is that they give absolute dominion over their element. When they are in the presence of their element, everything becomes their domain.
The reason she was able to move so swiftly, avoiding the five Grand Lords, was moonlight which is everywhere, and under it, it is very hard to deal with her, and it is not her only element.
“You will pay for this,” said Tekr with gritted teeth and a blazing aura, “I am waiting,” replied the Grand Commander.
The Grimm did not move from their spot; they had created a single chance for an attack, and they failed. Now, if they try anything, there will be consequences; even without it, there will be consequences.
The idiots missed the chance and even paid the price for their failure, and it is far from the end of their trouble. If they had succeeded, the risk they took would have been worth it, but now the ball is completely in our favor.
Because our most important powerhouses, those with the greatest potential, have already gone inside, including me, who will go in a few micro-seconds, while there are many high-Grandmaster and few quasi-ones, they are not as important as I or Jill or ellen.
So, now we could force the negotiation, and it would be fine with us if the Grimm chose the battle because, as I have said, our most important people have already gone inside.
It is quite regretful that I would not be able to see what would happen next as my feet had finally changed the frothing surface, and I began to feel the sensation that thousands of people who went inside have recorded.
This thing had many names like the star world or luminary paradise and tens of others, but most people referred to it as a thing, and more than half of the people who went inside it described alive; they felt it being alive for the first second they touched it like I am now as the froth begins to envelop me.
It felt alive; it was not just the sensation of the froth, which felt like a touch of skin, but also the faint beat that felt like a real heartbeat.
I wanted to struggle against the frost and the strange feeling it was giving me, but I remained calm and let it cover me fully. The struggle is fruitless, as once you touch the surface of it, you will not be able to get out of it, even with the power of the Grand Lord.
The froth did not take even a second to envelop me completely, and when it did, all the feeling vanished, and I found myself in a vast cosmos, and around me were thousands of twinkling stars in all the colors I had seen in my life and some I had not.
It is theorized that this place contains a space that is even bigger than our world; there are so many places here that one could not count, and every time, 30% would be different; when one combines the area of these places, it would easily become many times of our world.
I shook my head of those thoughts and focused on the stars around me; the size of this place did not matter; what mattered was choosing the star.
There are hundreds of thousands of them, and each would take me to a different place, and the thing is, I don’t know where it would take me; it is said to be a completely random thing.
I looked around before choosing a dark cyan star and flew toward it; there was no meaning behind choosing it; I found it pleasant and flew toward it and hoped it would be a gateway that would take me to that place where I wanted to go.
To be honest, this place is amazing and contains chances that would take one to even Grand Lord class, but I have no interest in them; I do not need the chances of this place to make the advancements.
Here in this place, I have only come for one and one place only, and if this place did not have it, I would have remained back and focused on creating more powerhouses for my race.
Finding that place would totally depend on my luck as there is no map that could take me there. Though I did find some hints about it after scouring through a huge amount of data we have about this place.
As I flew toward the star, I found myself alone despite thousands entering before me which is not surprising as this place might be the same for everyone, but people face it alone. There have never been people who come across each other in this place.
A few minutes passed, and the cyan star began to grow bigger and bigger as I flew closer and closer to it; by that time, half an hour had passed, and the cyan star had become a giant in front of me.
It had become big as the city and emitted faint coldness, which was accompanied by a feeling of danger, which made me careful and lowered my speed. There was not any information about its danger, likely because those who faced it died, and there was no one around to report it.
Around ten more minutes passed, and I finally stopped in front of the massive cyan star, which was burning brightly in the cold fire.
Click!
As the information said, the star had a door, it is at the very top of it; I looked at it for a few seconds before pulling the door, and it clicked. I don’t know why I am surprised to see that when I clearly know this would happen.
I did not waste any second and walked inside and saw the lake containing the clear blue water; I even saw a few fishes swimming in it and also five Grimms and two humans. They are walking through the lake and are not relaxed as they should be; there is a huge sweat pouring out of their bodies.
“The lake of cleansing,” I said softly with a slight groan as this challenge going to be quite difficult, but I had to pass it to reach the wooden door which was waiting for me on the other side; reaching there would not be easy.
With that thought, I wasted no time and began to climb down the marble steps toward the lake; these steps were one of the easy steps I had in a couple of hours.
While I groaned seeing the lake, I was happy to see it. It is one of the common tests one faces after entering the thing; nearly 20% of people face it, and the benefits it offers are equal to what stainless blood-soul lotus offers, which is huge.
