Chapter 219 God's Land, Asileius
As soon as he arrived in front of the two, his soul was immediately pushed down, while Matthias' sliver of soul emerged. When Matthias laid sight on the two, he smiled, "Hey, bro. Hello, Sana."
Jeremy and Sana were startled by how "Andre" called them. They looked at him weirdly, so "Andre" laughed wholeheartedly, "This is Matthias now."
"Matthias?!" Jeremy gasped, "Where the hell are you?!" He yelled.
"Probably still in the Immortal Territories if I'm not there." Matthias replied. "Probably? What, you don't know where you are?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes.
"This is just a sliver of my soul, not the real Matthias." He replied, "Anyways, whatever the present Matthias is doing, I have no freaking idea. But what I do know is, you need to get out of this world or you would be squished."
"Why?" Jeremy asked in confusion. "I would be forming this world into Andre's true body. Everyone here would be transported to an artificial realm, so you best be going!"
Knowing that, Jeremy and Sana quickly left, letting Matthias do what he needed to do. "Let's get started." He muttered and raised his hand before slamming it down.
Immediately, everyone in the world fell asleep. Matthias willed all the souls of the people inside the Raunveruleiki Array inside the book. He then entered the realm and created a lush world and similar bodies for the souls. He then created it like how Gaius looks like, so it would be as if nothing happened at all.
After that, he left the realm, letting it run on its own, with the people waking up on their own. He then entered the deep crevices of Gaius and entered its core. There he slowly expanded Andre's body and fused it with him.
A few hours later, the planet Gaius is no more and in return, Andre came into existence. Inside him, Andre and Matthias talked.
"You are now Gaius!" Matthias laughed. "You know, Gaius is a very good name, considering where I am going later." Andre chuckled.
"It could be a sign to a brand new life." Andre sighed as he drank his cocktail, "I shall now be known as Gaius, Prince of the Abyss."
"You're really accepting Vilfrein under your command?" Matthias laughed. "Well, I am tasked to." Andre, now Gaius, chuckled.
"Then, I wish you the best of luck." Matthias smiled and patted Gaius, "Don't let my former people down and make Vilfrein glorious among the Abyss."
"I will." Gaius smiled and nodded. Suddenly, he noticed Matthias' body glitching, startling him, "What's happening to you?"
"Oh, this?" Matthias chuckled, "I have used the energy that is making me exist separate from the main body. Therefore, I am being erased. Don't be sad though, just say hi to my main body and we're cool."
Gaius nodded, "I will." After hearing that, Matthias smiled one last time before vanishing. Gaius' body that was floating in space also opened his eyes and gazed at the beauty around him. The stars, the planets, the galactic ships that could be considered semi-stars because of their damn light, everything was fresh for him.
Suddenly, he was startled when he turned around and saw the dark ball behind him. It was as if it was eyeing him with lust, which made him disgusted. "Paimon!" He called out.
Immediately, Paimon appeared behind him and asked, "What is it, Prince?"
"Is the sacrificial galaxy ready?" He asked Paimon. "Unfortunately, Demon General Talzesar and his minions are still looking for a galax-" He stopped as if he was hearing, or receiving, something.
He then smiled and muttered, "That arrived at the exact moment." He chuckled and looked at Gaius.
"My Prince, the galaxy has been located. It's practically destroyed now, but it's enough." Paimon said. "Should we meet the higher ups of this galaxy to talk about the arrangements?" He added.
"Sure." Gaius nodded, looking at the two people in front; Jeremy and Sana.
"I heard you want to talk to the superior beings of this galaxy." Jeremy stated as the two moved towards them.
"Can you bring us to them?" Gaius asked. In response, Jeremy nodded, "We are honorary members of the Highest Supreme Council, a Council established by Matthias to make decisions in his absence. We can bring you there to talk to the other deities of this galaxy."
"Then, let us go there." Jeremy nodded in response and smiled, "Then, we should go." He then motions in a circular motion, summoning a portal that is connected to God's Land, where the Matheon Palace stands at its center with brilliance among all the Deity Territories.
As they entered the portal, they gradually saw the pristine floating palace made from crystal quartz and surrounded by divine clouds and holy light. Below it was a huge glass-like lake that exuded a soothing feeling with waterfalls coming down from the sides of the heavenly structure.
In front of it all was a similarly pristine bridge that is connected to the grand golden gates of the palace. It was all connected by cold, silver chains that extended from the pillars of the bridge to the palace walls.
When they walked forward, they were immediately stopped by two white-armored elite guards in front of the bridge, with their partisan spears crossed on the path towards the bridge. "Lord Jeremy, Saintess Sana." The two bowed and greeted them without raising the spear in their hand and the shield on the other standing erect firmly on the ground.
"What is the meaning of this?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes dangerously. Still, faced with that stare, the guards did not falter and instead spoke further, "Lord, we were only tasked by Lord Asileius to direct the four of you to his domain due to some reasons."
Jeremy was silent for a moment before nodding. He turned around and relayed the information to Gaius . "Then? Where's this "Asileius" person's domain?"
"Follow me." Jeremy, together with Sana, then flew up to the East of the palace, while Gaius and Paimon followed.
A couple of minutes later, they arrived in front of a huge, purple crystal-shaped palace that radiated the aura of space. The structure was very simple, one huge crystal in the middle surrounded by a crystal circle with four sub-crystals in its four cardinal directions. They landed in front of it and did not dawdle any further and continued inside.
As soon as they entered, Gaius immediately felt different. Gaius thought it was just him but it was proven by Paimon otherwise when he muttered, "We have been transported into a space separated from the original space."
Gaius looked around at this separated space. It was a crystal hall, with pillars of the same material. Its high crystalline structure made even Gaius dizzy. In front of them was a long crystal table with crystal chairs at its side. Seated in the chairs were nine people, and those nine turned to look at him when he entered all at once.
"Greetings." Suddenly, they heard a deep, profound, and genderless voice reverberated across the hall. Gaius looked where it came from, past the Crystal table, where a thin layer of veil came down.
"Lord Asileius." Jeremy and Sana bowed in respect towards it. Gaius tried to look past it but it was for naught. "You seem to be curious about me. Are you the copy of Master Matthias?" Asileius asked.
Gaius did not respond. After a while, Asileius' voice sounded once again, "Yes. You do have the Master's aura. What brings you here?"
"We have a plan to dispose of the problem that is the Chaotic Dark Matter, and we want to share the details with you to ask for your approval." Gaius replied.
"What is it?" Asileius asked. Gaius turned to Paimon and motioned him to explain. Paimon nodded and stepped forward, "I am Paimon, one of Master Matthias' dukes from the Abyssal Realm."
When Asileius and one of the seated figures heard the term 'Abyssal Realm', their eyes widened as they gazed at him with shock. "Why is such a being like you here? As long as I remember, the Abyssal and Heavenly Realm have been separated from this universe by the Supreme Being!" Asileius exclaimed.
"The barrier between the universes have long thinned, being of space." Paimon replied neutrally as he glanced at Asileius, "You need not concern yourself on that. What you need to know is our plan." He added.
He then raised his hand and an image of two galaxies suddenly showed itself levitating on his palm, "The dark matter that this galaxy is facing against is a Chaotic Dark Matter, an existence that exists only to create without will. One cannot defeat nor banish it because it is not alive. The only way to eliminate it is to fuse it together with the infected galaxy."
"But of course, such action requires an infinitesimal amount of energy. Therefore, we sought for a source of such immense energy, and we found one; Another galaxy."
