Chapter 52 Gaia II And 1 Week Later
***
Unknown dimension.
An emerald beauty sat on a large throne created out of a hundred if not thousands of minerals, rock fragments, and ores. However, while some were darker than others, each one of them had its own uniqueness that made them stand out from the rest.
The woman silently sat on this throne, her eyes closed and her breathing steady.
Her emerald hair draped down her shoulders, calling down to the ground like an endless emerald waterfall, each strand of hair reflecting the light in the dimension with the brightness of a dozen suns.
Suddenly, a frown replaced her previous neutral sleeping expression, creasing her forehead and knitting her brows in the process. While this action would have been considered ugly by most, the frown only made her more beautiful, a direct contrast to how she was feeling at that moment.
Her eyes flickered open while the strange expression never left her face. It was as if she had seen something she couldn't believe and had been left momentarily in shock.
"How... He was supposed to be dead... Yet he's become even stronger now! How is this possible!" Gaia exclaimed in shock, well aware that there was no one around to hear her.
Gaia, the ruler of Earth and the person to keep balance within the planet was the strongest person on the planet, as well as the one person who had direct control over almost everything within the planet itself.
With a snap of her fingers, she could change the climate from being a nice and calm summer to a wintery cold hurricane. However, this did not me she was omnipotent... She was very far from being so.
While she could see almost anywhere on the planet as well as create avatars of herself to complete tasks in different areas simultaneously, she was still far from being able to see everywhere at the same time.
This was the reason why she had been so shocked when she felt certain energy within the enchanted forest, and then when she finally moved her consciousness there to see what was happening, she felt her jaw almost drop to the ground.
The boy...
The same boy she had watched die in the hands of one of the beasts she had supported throughout their lives, was standing in the middle of nowhere with red energy surrounding him and a spear being extended towards the same T-rex from before.
Her eyes threatened to widen as she watched an enormous beam of light vaporize the top half of the T-rex before going off towards the sky and vaporizing a tip of a mountain in the process.
When she opened her eyes after seeing that occur, she quickly buried her face within her hands, before moving her hands over her face to come to her hair back.
For a moment, she felt like pulling her hair out but she swiftly stopped herself from doing so, knowing full well that it would hurt a lot to do anything like that, especially with her strength.
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this human." She sighed in exasperation and went back to lying on her throne.

It had been at that point since I had met Blanca and fought against the beast horde. We were able to avoid the incoming beast horde by going back to my skull house, before scavenging everything inside and leaving, not like there was much inside t in the first place.
According to Blanca, the center of the rest was always the more dangerous part, therefore indicating that the closer we got to the center, the stronger the beasts would become over time.
However, Blanca still chose to inform me that going past a certain distance would mean instant death even if she happened to be around to help me fight them off. According to her, all the beasts after a certain point would be as strong, if not stronger than the enormous tentacled monster from earlier.
"Ugh..." I let out a weak grunt before tensing my body. Even after having lived in these environments for over 6 weeks, I still had a hard time sleeping no matter when or where.
"I'm never gonna get used to sleeping on hard floor." I complained while grunting again and pushing myself off the ground.
"To think even after having so many upgrades to my body, I would continue to be this weak." Using both my arms, I kicked up and off the floor before beginning my stretching routine to not pull any muscles if I was ever put into a rough situation.
My eyes darted around the room until I finally found what I was looking for.
"Good morning. How did you sleep?" Blanca asked, looking at me from the corner of the room in her miniature form.
After having realized that I couldn't take Blanca anywhere without attracting attention from the entire forest, making most of the weaker beings run away while attracting all the stronger opponents, Blanca suggested going into her miniature form.
Her form, while being a little smaller than a normal snake, was just small enough to fully wrap herself in my arms without making me uncomfortable.
Looking at Blanca with a slightly annoyed expression, I nodded wryly and dragged my feet to the entrance of the cave that we had situated ourselves in for the meantime, or at least until we find a better place or are forced to move again.
'Annoying...' I thought to myself, and it seemed like Blanca knew that I thought that way about her even though she had helped me to a certain extent in the last week.
I didn't know exactly why she annoyed me so much, but if I were to guess I would say it would be a mixture of the contract that she had basically forced me to pick and her nosy nature that made me hate her presence every single day.
That is why I always chose to leave the cave whenever I could, to make sure I could get away from her for at least a few hours rather than having to deal with her all the time.
"I'm leaving..." I told the snake coldly and quickly exited the cave without taking another look at her.
Letting out a soft sigh, she also got up and went back to setting up the cave.
For the next hour, I found myself strolling through the forest, making sure to use my dread to my advantage and avoid all of the extremely powerful beasts around.
"I need to find a few more bones to make some new armor and even a few weapons... That piece of... snake didn't tell me a single thing about weapon-making, saying 'Oh! Telling you would only make you a weaker person blah blah blah." I spoke aloud with heavy sarcasm within my tone.
*Rustle*
I was going to continue speaking about the snake, but when I heard the slight rustle from my right side, I was forced to look in that direction, allowing me to see a pair of aqua blue eyes staring at me from the depth of the bush.
Biting my tongue to stop myself from speaking, I think dashed back and avoided the incoming strike that hit the tree behind me and destroyed it in the process.
"You trying to kill me bro?" I asked with a slight chuckle.
I found my chuckle stuck in my throat however when I was forced to roll and completely evade 5 darts that dispersed after hitting the ground.
"Mana..." I muttered, looking at the tiny craters on the ground with curiosity while a slight hint of amusement appeared within the smile that perked up the corners of my lips.
"Let's see what you can do with that mana of yours." I mused before dashing towards the creature in the bush while activating something else in the process.
The red energy that I had now named the 'Blood energy', enveloped my eyes before ingraining itself into my iris and becoming a halo around my pupil.
'Blood eyes!'
