Chapter 87: Synthetic Rift

Chapter 87: Synthetic Rift

The group consisting of Dora, Midgard, the nobles, Iris, and Eryl had gathered in the arena. Iris had assigned other council members the task of watching the surroundings to make sure no one else entered.

Elizabeth arrived, accompanied by the dean.

She walks towards Dora, looking bored.

"Really... You... You're a problem, you know that?"

"No, I'm an Avatar. Now let's get back to business."

She sighed heavily and shook her head.

Eryl sniffed the air and looked around.

"I suggest we start now, we're chasing time."

"Yeah, yeah, I know! Don't pressure me!"

Candace turned towards Midgard.

"You, old snake, you have been inside him long enough, how does his power work?"

Midgard barely looked at her.

She observed everyone, eagerly waiting to hear her great wisdom.

"There's nothing in the Code about sharing secret information, right? I don't think Gluttony is allowed to investigate Greed."

Eryl smiled and pretended to look away.

Candace frowned and waved her hand, signaling the others to move away, much to Solaria's anger.

"Alright, now you can talk."

"Ah, but what about you? Why would you need this information? We only need your Rifts."

"Oh my God... You said earlier that there was a way to trigger the Sin, right? I need you to tell me what it is so I'll make sure to avoid it, it is so simple!"

Midgard smiled mockingly and turned to Dora.

"Do you mind if we share a little of our assets, my dear?"

Dora frowned and looked at her suspiciously.

"You know, I'm starting to think it would be better if you stayed inside."

"Ah? Do you prefer a housewife?"

" Damn it... "

She laughed lightly and glanced at Candace who was very annoyed.

"Okay, but this is going to be complicated to explain, even for you. So first of all... Dora, which one are you?"

Candace raised an eyebrow, not understanding Midgard's sentence, but Dora nodded and responded with disdain.

"Midget."

"... Ah, so you're back... I really wonder when you... Well whatever, then, Sloth, this person in front of you is not exactly Dora, but a being called Sigma. "

"... What?"

"Think of it like a person with a personality disorder. The power of Greed is to split one's soul into multiple beings, each mastering a specific area of ??skill, for example, the one in front of you is a specialist in what Greed calls abnormal magic, such as dimensional or gravity magic."

Dora nodded and illustrated his skills by snapping his fingers and making Moonra's shirt disappear.

"Wait... I'm not sure to get it... Anesidora isn't Anesidora?"

"He is, all of... Ah, this is getting nowhere, this isn't that complicated, many people in one body, each has a specific power, all of them together is Anesidora!"

"But then who is Greed?!"

"Greed is them!"

Midgard yelled at Candace, Dora patting her back in compassion.

"Well, forget it, for now, I'll just follow your lead, You tell me what he needs to level up and I give you a Rift."

"... Great, at least now you're talking my language. What we need right now is a Rift with light element, only light element, can you do it?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate my power!"

"More than now?" Dora scratched his chin.

"Shut up, you persona disorder lunatic! What is your rank?... And I mean your true rank."

Dora crossed his arms and looked above

The System screen appeared right in front of him.

"D-rank."

"... Hmph... boastful."

She moved away a little and closed her eyes.

A white aura began to cover her body and she raised her arms to shoulder height.

The others noticed her and came closer.

"What is this?" Moonra whispered.

"The Sloth Avatar's most wonderful blessing, Prince, you're about to witness the birth of a synthetic Rift."

The aura formed a white circle around Candace and exploded, taking the shape of several white cards.

"God Mode: New World – Stage II"

The cards converged into a single card that lit up the arena.

The Dean grabbed the card and released it in front of her, it flew further before exploding in a flash of light that engulfed the field.

The light blinded the group for a moment then dissipated slightly, and when everyone could finally see clearly, a white vortex swept waves across the field in the middle of the battlefield.

Everyone held their breath, stunned by the miracle before them.

Candace slapped her hands and came back to them.

"There, a D-rank Rift with only light monsters inside."

The nobles widened their eyes, even Iris couldn't contain her excitement.

The Rift was slightly smaller than a regular D-Rank Rift, but the powers released were significantly stronger.

Midgard and Eryl were unmoved but right in front of them, Dora was frozen by a sudden alert on his system screen.

"Midgard..."

"Yes, I see it too."

|Main Quest: Evolution

|Complete 13 Rank D dungeons using the Light Element

The snake woman smiled and placed a finger on her lips.

"It seems that the thing is satisfied by our cooperation."

Candace put her hands on her hips and pouted.

"Hmph... This should be a big warning that we're being fooled," she said. "Well, whatever. Now we have no choice. This Rift is exactly how you wanted it, but first, I have to warn you."

She stopped in front of Dora.

"This Rift is similar to any other kind of Rift you might encounter elsewhere, but it was created by my Blessing. Although I am the weakest, I am still an Avatar, so don't be surprised if the monsters seem stronger than expected. There are also many things inside, so it will be better to see them directly. Get ready."

As he headed towards the Rift, Dora carefully observed the message on the screen.

For years he wondered about the origin of this entity, how it worked, and why only he owned it, but all his questions were answered that day.

"So this is how you want to do this... Alright, let's see which one of us gets eaten." He whispered to himself.

As the group moved forward, he led the way toward the Rift, and everyone followed in anticipation. With each step, the intensity of the light grew stronger and brighter, and before they knew it, they were immersed in a dazzling white vortex. The sensation was indescribable, as if they were being pulled through a tunnel of pure energy.

Suddenly, the vortex dissipated, and the group found themselves standing in front of an ancient shrine. The structure was weathered and adorned with intricate carvings and symbols that hinted at a rich and mysterious history. The shrine was surrounded by a serene garden filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, and in the distance, they could see floating islands that added an ethereal touch to the environment.

The islands were unlike anything they had ever seen before, with their majestic structures and shimmering aura. They were suspended in mid-air, defying gravity and adding an otherworldly element to the already surreal atmosphere. The group stood in awe, taking in the sights and sounds of this mystical place, eager to uncover its secrets.

Everyone looked around, amazed by the scenery.

"Wow... Is this a Rift?" Moonra whispered. "It's different from anything I've read before."

"Hm? You've never been to a Rift before?"

Freya asked out of the blue, Moonra remembered she had done several raids the previous month and felt ashamed.

"I mean... Sure, I... I was busy training, but I'm C-rank so it's weaker than..."

"You're at your peak, yeah." Solaria interrupted and jumped towards Dora, ignoring her brother's rage.

"So? What do you think? Feeling nervous? Need emotional support?" She clung to his arm, but a toad leaning over her head made her jump in horror and run away.

"Y-You!! Toad Witch, what's wrong with you?!"

"Hm? How are you sure it's not just a monster from this Rift?"

They began arguing behind the others, not noticing what was happening far beyond.

"Guys..." Iris smiled, placing a hand on the hilt of her sword.

Around them, from the shrine, around fifty monsters resembling statues of angels, armed with weapons of all kinds, rose, a sight that made Freya smile.

"Beautiful, such a shame these things are made to be killed."

She gathered her magic in her hands, ready to fight, imitated by the others except Elizabeth and Eryl.

Candace, noticing them, quickly turned around.

"Wait, kids, I only need Dora for this one."

They looked at her, surprised by this statement.

"Look, it's a D-Rank Rift, and you're all at least C-Rank, for him to level up properly, he would need to try more solo."

"Huh? But it would be easier if we helped him, right?"

"Iris, you are B-rank, what kind of help are you going to provide? One shot everything? You and Elizabeth are forbidden from fighting, your job is to make sure nothing bad happens !"

The two girls groaned in annoyance and moved aside, beside the nobles, leaving Dora, Midgard, and Candace in front.

"Alright, the stage is yours, fight like you fought Thomas, it shouldn't be that hard."

Dora glanced at her for a moment and focused his gaze on the monsters that were getting closer.

"Remember not to use Omega form," Midgard warned.

The boy nodded, a smile growing on his lips.

"Oh, don't worry... I want to try something, I'll do just what old timer said."

He took his traditional finger pose, his eyes turning white. The monsters had reached their location and were hovering above them, forcing Eryl to reactivate her barrier for everyone.

Suddenly, a yellow mist formed around them, converging towards Dora.

"Nebula"

Before everyone's astonished eyes, the mist, instead of exploding, lit up with a fiery blue, and a galaxy was formed under Dora's feet.

Iris placed her hands against the barrier, speechless as she recognized the power Dora had just used.

A vault formed in the air, but much larger than Thomas's, and with several constellations.

"Shooting Stars"

A cloud of blue rays burst from the depths of the vault and strafed the ground and the air, all around the temple, and the neighboring islands and destroyed the statues.

The ground was destroyed by the blows, pieces of statues were floating here and there, and a deafening noise mixed with bright flashes left everyone in shock.

A final wave hit the ground and kicked up dust and chunks of earth.

The canopy disappeared from the sky and visibility became clearer, offering a lunar spectacle.

Dora stood in the same place, around fifty soul stones floating around him.

Eryl dissipated her shield and couldn't help but applaud.

"Amazing, very good, that's a superb display of the true power of the Avatars, it was as good as Thomas could do."

Midgard smiled amusedly, she was already aware of this power in Dora but seeing the shock in everyone filled her with pride.

Candace shook furiously, forced to witness the symbol of Thoma's fall, but a more intense reaction occurred behind her.

Iris unconsciously walked towards them but stepped on part of the body of these statues.

She looked at the thing and noticed that her hands were shaking, she then looked at Dora.

"Wrong... It's wrong... It's much stronger than what Thomas could do... He's perfect..."

She smiled, excited by the literal work of art Dora was illustrating as he absorbed the soul stones.
