Harem Overlord

Chapter 132 The Tablet Of Samsara (2)(Chapter Preview)

"But where do we look for it?" Sahara asked as Kai pointed at their surroundings.

"I don't know the exact location of it but when they had finished building it, they were somewhere near the land of life and death though I don't know why they were there. So we have a huge mass of ocean to search up." Kai said as the three of them stared at the ocean.

"So in other words, you don't have a clue on how to find this tablet." Risea sighed as Kai chuckled and teleported them away.

He teleported them to the land of life as they rested as they started looking for clues on the beach of relief.

"Hey, can you try to contact Aizza again?" Risea asked as the three of them met up after searching the beach for many hours.

"That pathway only appears once in a person's lifetime and I can only check my soul after I reach the spiritual soul realm. Guess we should give up." Kai sighed in dejection as an idea suddenly clicked in his mind.

When Aizza had first told him about the tablet, she had mentioned that all of them were somewhere between the lands of life and death.

"Risea, Sahara, I think I know how we can get the tablet." Kai said as he suddenly stood up and closed his eyes in concentration.

He opened them a minute later as a crown dropped on his head. The crown had eight spikes on it and was gray in color.

"Both of you release your powers." Kai said as Risea and Sahara looked each other with confusion before their wings appeared on his back.

Nothing major happened but Kai's eyes suddenly widened as he teleported them away. They appeared somewhere in the ocean and a whirlpool was swirling below them.

"I was right when I felt the water getting restless." Kai said with a smile as the water slowly started parting to reveal a formation hidden below it.

"A teleportation formation." Kai said as the three of them descended on the formation.

The formation engulfed them and teleported them to a new location as the ocean started to calm down.

The formation soon vanished as soon as the trio vanished and the ocean returned to normal as though nothing had happened.

Kai, Sahara, and Risea on the hand appeared in a brightly lit corridor. They couldn't see any fire source or any other thing that was illuminating the place.

But it didn't matter as numerous formations appeared on the side of the corridor and Kai could feel them connecting to other formations.

Then the corridor suddenly went black. Kai felt the formations die down as his eyes started gleaming in the dark.

The crown on his head also gleamed in the dark alongside Sahara's and Risea's eyes and wings. Kai could feel them struggling to unfold their wings but he shook his head at that.

"Don't even try to do that. The formations we saw earlier were specifically created to reveal the powers of demons, angels, and people blessed by Aizza and Hela. It's quite surprising that they managed to do that without messing up the other millions of formations here." Kai said in an impressed tone as the land below them dropped.

But the trio was simply hovering in the air as though nothing happened.

The rooftop of the place slowly started shimmering before it vanished. The trio glanced at the now empty spot and slowly started rising in the air.

No traps sprung at them and no one attacked them. They just had to fly to the top and nothing else.

When they saw the ceiling at the top, they slowed down and touched it with the tips of their wings.

"Now what? We hang around the ceiling of a bottomless pit?" Sahara asked as Kai shook his head and examined the ceiling.

"Guys, bite your fingers and touch the ceiling with it." Kai said as Risea and Sahara did what he asked.

They bit their fingers and smeared some of their blood on the ceiling as Kai smeared some of his own blood on it.

The ceiling rumbled a little as another teleportation appeared around the trio.

"The first formation appeared when we released our respective auras. This one appeared after we smeared some of our blood on it. This place is testing if we are the required people or not." Kai determined as they appeared in a dungeon.

It was brown in color and looked as though it was made from mud. As they were examining it, letters started to appear on the floor as Kai stared at them with interest.

There were three types of different languages written on the floor below him though all of them were saying the same thing.

"Demons represent hate and angels represent love. But who determined that?" Kai read as the letters started to rearrange themselves.

"What if no one represented anything and instead of black or white, this world is just plain gray?" Kai read next as the letters vanished.

"One was written in demon language while one was written in the language of angels. The final one was written in the language of the spirits. One for each person I guess." Kai said as the dungeon started collapsing as they appeared in an open field.

Figures suddenly started to pop up in front of them as a glass barrier appeared in front of them.

On the other side of a glass barrier, houses started to appear. There were barely twenty houses on the other side as humans started to appear beside the houses.

Words started to appear on the glass barrier as the other thing started to appear beside the humans and the houses.

"In front of you is a small village. The people here live beside a goblins cave but the two species don't disturb each other until one day, the goblins suddenly started looting the village." Kai read as small green colored goblins suddenly entered the village and started stealing stuff.

"The villagers were too weak to do anything against the goblins since they outnumbered them as well as outclassed them. If you were in their position, what would you do?" Kai finished as Risea and Sahara spoke at the same time.

"Since I am strong, I would kill all of them." Sahara replied.

"I would try to negotiate with the goblins since I wouldn't be that strong." Risea replied and it was clear that there was a difference in their opinions.

"What if the goblins killed you during negotiations?" Sahara asked Risea.

"The message said that if we were in their place, what would we do? Since the villagers aren't strong enough to kill the goblins, your idea won't work." Risea retorted as the two of them started pointing out the weakness of each other.

Kai on the other hand thought about the message they had seen on the floor of that dungeon.

'What if the world was just plain gray?' Kai thought about it for some time before he finally got the answer to the question.

"Both of you are wrong about this. According to Sahara, the villagers should kill the goblins by since they are not strong enough to do that the idea doesn't work. Then according to Risea's idea, they should negotiate with the goblins. But that won't work either since you require a stronger force on both sides to negotiate properly. Worst case scenario, the goblins would slaughter everyone." Kai explained why both of them were wrong as they slowly nodded.

"Than what is the correct answer?" Sahara asked as Kai smiled at her question.

"They should just shift their village." Kai replied as the two girls were dumbfounded.

"The reason for that is simple, they can't defeat their enemies or negotiate with them. The only option left for them is to shift their village to a newer location. It was quite simple really." Kai explained as new letters started appearing on the wall.

"You have cleared the first challenge." Risea read as another teleportation formation appeared around them.

"But how did you figure that out?" Risea asked as Sahara nodded indicating that she also wanted to know the answer.

"I figured that out when I remembered the first message we got. Sahara's way was what someone could call the ruthless and evil way while Risea's was the peaceful and good way. But that doesn't justify the actions taken by both parties since they are doing everything they can to survive. No one can judge them for that. The world, after all, is gray." Kai explained as the two of them nodded.

"For some reason, it feels as though you are calling us dumb." Sahara said with a glare as Kai chuckled.

"What you thought was actually relevant from some people's perspective. But everyone has a different opinion. That's all I have to say." Kai replied as she nodded.

"So the first challenge was a quiz show. Let see what the second challenge is." Kai said as the trio appeared in a new environment to take the second challenge.
