Chapter 646 - 642: Found It
Shu and the others returned to the hotel after making sure that it was safe.
"I checked with the staff. We can"t leave this place," Shu informed Ryder as they reached their rooms.
"Why not?" Ryder asked.
"Because the runway is damaged. There are cracks everywhere. Our jet can"t take off. We"ll have to wait until it"s repaired," Shu explained.
"But that"s going to take a long time. It might even take a week," Ryder muttered, rubbing his chin.
"We can do nothing about it. It"s out of our hands," Shu muttered, sighing. "We can only stay here and handle everything from here. What do you say?"
Ryder scratched the back of his head, sighing. "It"s alright. Since there"s no other option, let"s do that."
"Good. Since you didn"t sleep in the night, take a nap. I"ll also get some rest."
Shu pushed the door of his room and stepped inside.
Ryder also went inside his room which was right beside the room of Alice.
Instead of sleeping, he once again looked in the direction of the pyramid, wondering if that person had left.
He decided to check again. Using his abilities, he looked inside the pyramid, making sure not to take a long glance.
"Hmm? He"s not there. It looks like he left."
"That seems to be the case," the shadow added. "He was clearly frustrated. He destroyed the coffin before leaving."
"Yeah. It looks like he still hasn"t forgiven you," Ryder said, sighing.
"And he won"t forgive me for a long time, either. It"s alright though. I"ve decided to stop being concerned about forgiveness. What happened wasn"t my fault. And I didn"t do anything to upset him!" The Shadow answered.
"Moreover, I always spent such a long time inside that coffin. I"m not going to go inside again. If he wants to fight, I"ll happily oblige him," he continued. "Instead of backing off, I"ll return all the favor with interest."
"That"s the spirit," Ryder muttered, smirking.
...
In an unknown palace existed a frozen mountain. There was a plane area on the top of the mountain, which appeared like a skating rink; however, it had a pool in the middle.
Despite being on top of the frozen mountain, the pool appeared to have warm water.
All the High G.o.ds appeared on top of the Mountain and observed the surroundings.
They noticed the pond and the statue of a Snow Lion right beside the pool.
"Where is he?"
"I don"t know. From what I know, he never leaves this place. Even though we haven"t come here since the death of the G.o.ddess of Reincarnation, it"s still strange."
"Do you think he already found out about the return of the G.o.ddess of Reincarnation? Did he leave to find her and kill her again?"
"It"s possible. He is the almighty. He should already know about this."
"Let"s do it like that. One of us shall stay behind to inform him if he returns. The others will go back to the Heaven to see if he is there."
"I agree. But who will stay behind?"
"I can volunteer for that."
"Alright. In that case, you can stay behind."
Leaving one High G.o.d behind, the others left.
...
A person appeared in the Heaven.
It appeared to be a six feet tall man whose face wasn"t visible clearly since it was hidden under a black cloak.
Even though the body was covered in a cloak, there was some strange aura around the man, which was sleeping into the atmosphere.
"This place... It reeks of her..." A hoa.r.s.e voice came from the man inside the cloak.
"But I don"t feel his aura. He hid himself well! As expected from him! Even after hiding, he certainly isn"t going to escape!"
"I shall destroy this whole universe if I have to! But I shall find him!"
The cloaked man started rising in the air.
....
Chaos and the G.o.ddess of Reincarnation flew inside the Dark Realm, searching for the sword of Chaos. However, let alone swords, they couldn"t even find the Dark Beasts.
It was such a huge place that even if they flew for a hundred thousand years, they couldn"t get to the end of it. It was clear to them that finding the sword depended on luck. And to find the sword, they needed to find the beasts in the first place.
It was said that the beasts could sense the presence of the sword even better than Chaos could, so he wanted to find either of them. If he could find the beasts, then it was good as well, but the chances of finding the beasts seemed low as well.
"Last time I came here, the beasts were everywhere. And now I can"t even find one of them. This is upsetting," Chaos muttered, frowning.
"It"s a big place. Maybe, last time you happened to land near their settlement? And this time, we appeared far away from that place? That"s all I can think of," the G.o.ddess of Reincarnation replied.
"Possibly," Chaos muttered. "But st-"
While speaking, Chaos suddenly stopped.
"What happened?" The G.o.ddess of Reincarnation asked, noticing the strange behavior of his. She looked around, wondering if he saw something, but there was nothing nearby. "Did you sense the sword?"
"I certainly sense something, but it"s not the sword," Chaos replied. "Follow me."
He changed his direction and started flying in a different direction.
After two hours of flying through empty s.p.a.ce, he finally stopped.
"There it is."
He could see a stone floating before him.
"Another Fragment."
He flew closer to the stone and grabbed it before placing it on the bracelet.
"Five more to go. I wonder if they"re all in this place too? If they are, it"s going to be hard to find them," Chaos muttered, looking around.
"Then again, if I was to find something, this fragment helped me a lot."
"Which one is that?" The G.o.ddess of Reincarnation asked, curious.
"It"s the fragment of search. I created it after taking the soul crystal of the G.o.d of Searches," Chaos explained. "This would increase my range of search by at least a thousand times. With this, I would certainly have a higher chance."
Chaos spread his arms and closed his eyes as he started using the bracelet.
Even after ten minutes, he didn"t open his eyes. The G.o.ddess of Reincarnation waited for him to wake up instead of disturbing him.
"Found them," Chaos commenter.
"The beasts?"
"That"s right. Even after this extended range, I couldn"t find the Sword, but I found them. They should be able to help," Chaos commented. "Follow me."
The two of them once again started flying in the endless s.p.a.ce.
