Chapter 604 604: Entrance
?
The Goddess of Light didn't respond. However, her eyes did reveal a trace of anger which she hid right away.
She didn't really care what the Four Generals thought of her. In fact, she knew that they always had a bad impression of her, even though she helped their side.
She had a feeling that even the Ruler of the Upper Realm had the same impression of her, which was why he wasn't granting her wish.
Unfortunately for her, she couldn't delay it anymore. She had placed many safeguards to protect herself against Karyk, including sacrificing a trace of her own Element. However, Karyk managed to destroy all her plans.
Instead of targeting the Ruler of Upper Realm, he was still hellbent on targeting everyone who betrayed her last time, which she confirmed as soon as she heard that the Goddess of Water was killed.
She couldn't just wait and do nothing. She had to take matters into her own hands!
The Southern General hated the Goddess of Light. If she had captured Karyk last time instead of killing him, they wouldn't have to worry about him. However, now he was back and he felt that she had a hand in it!
Why else would she destroy the body of Karyk a thousand years ago, instead of handing it. He couldn't help but feel that she had a hand in it, even if it wasn't to help Karyk.
Unfortunately, despite his repeated reminders, the Ruler of Upper Realm didn't take care of her! He let her live. And without his permission, even the Generals couldn't do anything about her.
"It's time!" The Northern General changed the topic. Even though he also felt that the woman was a vicious snake, he didn't care about it. Since the King let her live, that meant she still had some use.
The Northern General took the lead, ground downstairs. The other three Generals also followed him, along with the Goddess of Light and Karyk who walked in the back.
The Depths of the Palace was a place that Karyk wasn't allowed to enter, since that was the place which contained the portal to the Central World but to activate the Portal, one needed four keys from the four Generals.
The door to the underground stairs was pushed open by the Northern General, after he carved a symbol on the wall blocking the stairs.
The wall moved back, before sliding down and disappearing from the sight, revealing the stairs that led down.
All six people went down the stairs. After passing through many more security mechanisms that even surprised Karyk, they managed to reach the depth of the mysterious Palace in the middle of nowhere.
Karyk found himself in a secret chamber. However, to his surprise, there were strange characters carved all over the chamber. Most of the words were unknown, but Karyk recognized some! These were similar to the symbols carved on the bones of the skeleton!
However, the difference was that these words held no power. It was as if someone had simply carved them while trying to copy the real symbols of the True God of Laws.
Unfortunately, just carving these words wasn't enough, or everyone would've been able to possess this power and there would've been nothing special in it.
On one of the walls, a formation circle was carved, creating a Spatial Pattern. Moreover, many spatial stones were embedded into the formation circle.
It was impossible to find one in this world. Even the one that Raphael possessed was the first time that Karyk had seen one in his long life!
On the other hand in this place, there were a total of ten such spatial stones!
Other than these ten stones, there were also four empty spots that were needed to be filled to complete the formation circle.
The Southern General stepped forward first. He pulled out a small piece of stone from his pocket and placed it on one of the four empty spots.
After him, the Western General took off his pendant and placed it on the second empty spot.
The Eastern General sliced his fingers a little, letting a blood droplet fall, which crystalized into a crystal that he placed on the third empty spot.
And lastly, it was the turn of the Northern General, who also came here with a stone of his own. He raised his right hand, destabilizing the space above his hand. As the space broke apart, a black crystal appeared above his hand.
He placed the black crystal on the formation circle, finally completing the formation circle!
As the generals stepped back, the crystal formation started to emit a bright light. It grew brighter and brighter until it illuminated the whole room, casting a warm and cozy glow that seemed to purify everything it touched.
Everyone present couldn't help but feel a sense of calm and tranquility as they basked in the glow of the crystal. At the same time, the formation circle also started coming to life, shining so brightly that even the space was breaking apart.
A small opening was created between the Northern Realm and the Central World which surpassed all the defensive mechanisms and spatial barriers that were in place.
It wasn't easy for even a true god to reach the Central World with so much restriction!
The pathway was now open, bridging the gap between two adjacent worlds that had been separated for so long.
A palpable surge of energy enveloped the vicinity of the opening, as the two realms gradually intermingled with each other.
The Northern General lazily glanced at Karyk, telling him to enter first. Karyk nodded. Finally he was entering the forbidden place that he always wanted to enter... The place which contained the last thing he needed to become a True God... A place that contained something that he needed to become... death.
Karyk took a step forward, entering inside the portal, completing half his goal! He was finally going to the true core of the Upper Realm!
