Hovering swiftly across the clouds in the earth"s atmosphere is an unseen giant black snake with small blackholes as its eyes. The length of its entire transparent body easily stretched to more than five thousand meters and was moving at a blurring speed, leaving behind sonic waves along the trail.It is the proud G.o.d of dimensional realms looking for Elric.
"Not here...not here..." It mumbled angrily.
The creature"s black hole eyes glowed a strange color, scanning the world below as it pa.s.ses. Minutes ago, this creature had been to the other realms trying to search for Elric only to fail in finding even a speck of single dust from the elusive man.
Not even the old woman and the two Eastern Dragons who disappeared from the Elemental Realms could be found!
As a G.o.d of dimensional realms, finding any creature across the different worlds is as easy blinking for him. Even if one would hide to the deepest of the sea or in the most distant stars, or use the most advance and mysterious cloaking technology, no one could escape his unstoppable authority.
However, for some reason, Elric"s entire presence suddenly disappeared.
Every second, the G.o.d of the Dimensional Realm"s extraordinary senses could scan more than a billion of beings. But among those creatures he could fully conceive, Elric seems to be the only one who can avoid his detection as if the man has never existed in the first place!
An hour or more has pa.s.sed and he was still unable to find Elric.
"I WANT THAT DRAGON!"
As a being who has been too used to being feared and respected, the G.o.d of the Dimensional Realms, who remained to be unnamed until now, could not help but feel incredibly insulted at Elric"s casual remark on him.
It was as if he was being belittled by a being he considered an ant in his eyes!
Suddenly, it remembered during the clash at the Elemental realm, there was a certain creature that was moving in secret while Elric was dealing with the elemental lords.
"Perhaps that turtle has to do with him." It mumbled to himself as his eyes almost instinctively looked at a certain direction - it has already found the turtle.
The main culprit of the sudden disappearance of the two Eastern Dragons and the old lady in the middle of the battle was a sneaky turtle.
But, as a proud being who was too used to being served, even though he saw the sneaking turtle, he did not make any efforts to help the members of the Outsider"s or at least tell them.
He saw it with his own eyes but he refused to pop a single word because he believed that it has nothing to do with him.
It took less than three seconds for the sneaky invisible turtle to infiltrate the Elemental realm.
The moment the friendly fired lightning from Ping broke through the stone pedestal and incapacitated the hidden Sulog in the water, Dash"s swiftly opened another dimensional portal and s.n.a.t.c.hed the two Eastern Dragons and the unconscious body of Elric"s grandma and left as quietly as possible.
All of it was made possible thanks to Elric"s bold move on kiting everyone"s attention for a very short moment.
However, the real MVP of the entire event was the brilliant calculating mind behind their strategy.
He who seems to have made a countermeasure against the Great Seer Mhata"s power to predict the future - the Elder Guardian.
Facing the direction of his current target, the G.o.d of Dimensional Realms opened a dimensional crack before him, went in, and appeared at the other side of the globe.
***
"WHERE IS HE!?".
Powerful reverberation shook every inch of the ma.s.sive Guardian s.h.i.+p - it was the same s.h.i.+p that Elric previously went inside a while ago.
Standing atop a floating circle metallic stage just above the Guardian s.h.i.+p, the composed figure of the Elder Guardian looked up at the incredibly ma.s.sive figure of the G.o.d of Elemental Realms.
Beside him is Dash who has now transformed into its tiny turtle form. He too seems to have expected the arrival of the G.o.d of Dimensional Realms.
"If you are looking for them, I am afraid you are too late," Dash replied with a cute little smugly face.
"Tell me where are they now before I will start devouring these world starting from you too." said the ma.s.sive snake with its black-hole-eyes starting to expand and emitting a threatening aura.
"You can do that if you want. I don"t think you have what it takes to offend the heavenly beings." The Elder Guardian replied confidently.
"Well, I can always start by crus.h.i.+ng you too first. Now speak before I start to tilt this little world of yours!" added by the ma.s.sive black snake while its incredibly long body started to coil across the entire Guardian s.h.i.+p, holding it in place and blocking their escape route.
The moment its ma.s.sive snake body made contact with the Guardian s.h.i.+p, an energy barrier swiftly wrapped around and protected them from any further crus.h.i.+ng force.
Unfortunately, the G.o.d of the Dimensional Realm possessed a strength that not even the highly advanced s.h.i.+eld technology of the Guardians could keep up.
But despite the threat, the Elder guardian remained an unchallenged look.
Meanwhile, Dash on the other hand could not help but feel terrified with the overlapping body of the ma.s.sive snake that has is about to crush them like a sponge.
Its little turtle body is prepared to cast another dimensional crack to escape to the Elemental Realm even if it means facing the villains on the other side.
With each pa.s.sing seconds, the energy barrier started to crack and is getting close to completely shattering.
"If you really wanted to get him you can start by finding Kaora"s realm." the Elder Guardian suddenly said which, in turn, made the ma.s.sive Giant snake stop its attack.
The moment the G.o.d of the Dimensional Realms heard the Elder Guardians" answer, the furious coil of its body loosened and the expanding black hole in its eyes returned back to its normal size.
A quiet moment pa.s.sed for more than ten seconds before the ma.s.sive black snake in the sky finally spoke.
"What did you say?"
"Kaora. Does the name ring a bell to you?" replied the Elder Guardian with a calm face.
A name that made the furious beast stop its threatening action would surely bring a heavy background.
"So that pest went to hide in another pest"s cave... No wonder why I can"t find him..." mumbled the giant black snake before adding,
"Hahaha! Fools! Did he really think I could not find him? There may be trillions of trillions of alternate dimensions, but does he really think he could escape his fate on my devouring eyes?"
Then suddenly, the ma.s.sive snake face of the beast in the sky moved forward, just stopping about ten meters from the composed Elder Guardian and the panicking little turtle.
They could feel that the gravity in their current place suddenly increased, planting them in their position and almost making them kneel.
WOOOM~
The Elder Guardian swiftly resisted by creating his own s.h.i.+eld that protected both him and the little turtle beside him. However, there was no sense of urgency in his face.
It seems like the ma.s.sive snake is trying to pressure them by showing his dominance.
Knowing the Guardian"s natural tendency to never lie, the gigantic black snake decided to thicken its face and asked.
"Since you are an Elder Guardian and are always honest to death, tell me. How long do you think it will take before I can find them?"
Smiling confidently, the Elder Guardian looked towards the direction of the hidden door inside the Guardian s.h.i.+p before gazing back at the ma.s.sive snake"s face with a small and currently harmless black hole at the center as its eyes.
"I know what you are capable of. Devouring realms is as easy as a walk in the park for you. But I have to say, unfortunately, no matter how long you will try to search for Kaora"s realm, you will never ever find it."
"You seem confident of what you are spouting." the ma.s.sive black snake replied.
"You know we do not lie, or else we could die. Kaora, the first and original Guardian created that realm in antic.i.p.ation of Elric"s coming." the Elder Guardian"s long and pale right arm suddenly raised and its fingers stretched, pointing in the eastern direction.
"If you want a more specific answer, you will never be able to find them. Because it will be them who will find you first in two month"s time. And in that direction, they will appear during the eclipse and the Realm of the Darkness opens."
Then slowly, its pointing hand moved from pointing to the east, and to the ma.s.sive snake"s face.
"When that time comes, Elric will reappear with full control of his Ancestral Dragon"s power." declared the Elder Guardian.
Hearing it, Dash could not help but feel a sense of excitement and antic.i.p.ation. Its little turtle face smiling reaching almost 180 degrees.
"Then why are you pointing at me, are you a prophet now, you pest?" bellowed angrily by the G.o.d of the Dimensional realms, feeling uneasy at the simple hand gesture of the Elder Guardian.
"My calculations are now perfect and they are more than just predictions." replied the Elder Guardian with a serious gaze.
His eyes were not blinking, and a weird mysterious presence can be felt within its glowing white eyes.
"That Dragon won"t be running anymore. And the reason I am pointing right now shows the first one to fall in his hands."
