Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 717 - Eternal Chain

Few hours before Alex's and others' arrival. 

Holy Crux empire, the capital, in one of the secret rooms of the Holy Pope.

The pope could be seen kneeling before an altar; this altar shone in golden light like a holy flame. 

''Goddess, Cecilia succeeded,'' The Pope announced, his voice was full of excitement as he said those words. 

''Oh? That's good. That girl is sure capable; she didn't waste the God's scroll, it's the only thing that could work in that world.'' A woman's voice came from the golden light. 

The Pope nodded eyes full of reverence; only the mighty goddess could possess something like that, a scroll capable of containing some of his power, it was like a short duration link that could let him lend fifty percent of his strength to the scroll holder, but the aftereffect was that the person who used the scroll would lose almost all their levels. 

''It's a pity that such fine piece died, but we will create another one after I have gained a body.''

The goddess's voice sounded again; the pope nodded; he was unaffected that his daughter died; it doesn't matter; what mattered was that she at least succeeded in completing the task given to her. If Cecilia were alive and heard the goddess's heartless words, maybe she would have died of a heart attack; she gave everything for this goddess, and yet she was nothing but a chess piece.

''Where is she?" The goddess questioned, the excitement in her voice couldn't be hidden; finally she would get a body, two hundred years had passed since that calamity, she was but a mere speck of her former self, but it was enough to trick few humans, establish an empire, everything was for the sake of finding the right vessel, with this perfect vessel she could ascend back and get everything that had been snatched from her, she would make every one of them pay.

''She is in heaven's chamber. It will take some time before she is ready to welcome your glorious self.'' The pope explained. 

''Good! Good! You shall stand in my right as my champion once I'm back.'' The goddess promised, and the Pope became thrilled. Becoming the goddess's champion was more than he could ask for; upon hearing the goddess's promise, the pope was sure than ever that he had taken the right decision; they must not fall, not now that they were closer to completing the goddess's wish. 

''Goddes, don't worry, although that young man is strong, he can't do anything, not even with the help of his little team.'' The Pope declared proudly, he had faced Alex through Cecilia's body, so naturally, he knew how strong he was, some details were blurred, but the pope was sure that Alex couldn't beat him. 

The goddess stayed silent upon hearing her subordinate's declaration, for some unknown reason, she was unable to divine Alex's fate, every time she tried, she would end up injured; therefore, she stopped, this young man was dangerous, they must be cautious of him, at least until she descended into her perfect vessel.

''You must be prudent; he is dangerous.'' She warned. 

''Don't worry goddess, we have set up many formations in the tower; even if he managed to sneak in, he is doomed to die.'' 

Finally, the goddess heaved a sigh of relief but soon became worried again; Luna's kidnapping was bound to attract some attention, especially those three.

As if he could read the golden light's thought, the pope reassured. 

''Armstrong and Freya disappeared a few weeks ago into a dungeon when they chased the chaos organization members. As for Elseria, she was busy quelling the small skirmishes that happened all around the world together with the other empires; she would not move for a while. Before Alex and others warn them, we will have finished.'' 

''I see!" The goddess was pleased, everything was going according to the plan, just a few more days and she would get a body; as for this Chaos organization, she was not afraid, the only thing that made her afraid of the sleeping dragon in the depth of that dungeon but before he wakes up she would be stronger and will win. 

''Fufufu! Soon I'll be back.'' The goddess mumbled while thinking that Alex and the others would arrive in a few days because there were still a few days before they left Exodus. Unfortunately, she was wrong.

•••••

Five hours later, Alex's group was back to Mysthia; almost half of year had passed since they left, not many things had changed, because they didn't want to let the world learn of their arrival yet, they traveled discretely. With their current strength, not many could detect them if they did not want to.

The group arrived at Alex's mansion just as the sun was about to set. After entering, they took a bath and were about to gather to discuss what to do next. 

Alex sat on his bed, lost in thoughts.

?Stop making me wait. I want to see that weapon of yours.?

Suddenly, Silveria's voice rang out inside his head, jolting him awake.

Finally, Alex decided to check his status and learn more about his new weapon.

''Wow! It's called Eternal Chain..'' Alex mumbled with a dull voice; the moment the girls (Silveria and Nyx) heard the name of Alex's new gift, they were shocked.
