Chapter 654 The Gate
Meanwhile, back in the underworld, punches resonated off the walls of the castle of the Accords.
These punches were from Ella on lenny.
"Tell me, Goddamn it! Tell me!! How the fuck do I destroy that damn Rune."
However, no matter how many punches she landed on him, Lenny did not say a word. Of Course, he too was not aware of what had just happened.
All he knew was that he had seen things that he could not explain and had beheld the presence of one that felt like god.
Lenny was already a very strong man. To make him feel such a thing meant that the king he saw on the throne was of extreme power.
Lenny could not help but feel his hunger for power grow like a rising storm within his heart. His thought was far too preoccupied with the things he had seen, and the feeling of that place for him to mind what Ella was doing to him.
Besides, he had also just received an alert that touched upon his curiosity.
<Alert: Host has received King Solomon's gift. HERITAGE PILL>
The Alert was a surprising one, but it was evidence that all he had experienced was not a dream.
Lenny did not know what this heritage pill was for. but the locked icon was in front of it.
After a while of continuous punching, Ella had had enough and stopped.
She gritted her teeth hard as she bit the nails on her left hand.
Her desperation for answers was starting to get the better of her.?After all, Lenny did not want to say anything.
she staggard backwards and sat on the ground. "tell me! Just tell me," she muttered lowly. "That bitch Minnie did not want to tell me, and now you don't want to tell me!"
Lenny raised his head to look at her. She did not look any dignifying like she had been before. she looked like a person that had just escaped an asylum.
"You are one very crazy bitch," Lenny muttered as he spat out some blood from his mouth.
Those words made certain thoughts come to her mind.
And then her eyes narrowed as she made up her mind.
Immediately she stood to her feet, Grabbing Lenny by his ear. Fiercely, she pulled him along. "I have been patient for hundreds of years. A few more wouldn't hurt."
"Where are you taking me to?" lenny asked.
She did not respond, waving her hands and a part of the bone castle crackled as it opened up. "I'll tell you a little secret about this castle. It is the shortest distance to anywhere within the entire Nether."
The Bones opened up like a portal. the moment it did, a low hum came from the hole.
Athena heard that hum, "No!" she muttered, "don't do it! Ella, he will never be able to get out!"
"That's the point!" Ella muttered as she continually pulled him along.
The bones closed up behind them, leaving just Athena within the castle screaming for Ella to return Lenny.
Ella yanked Lenny by the ear, pulling him into the portal woven from the eerie amalgamation of human remains and bones.
Emerging on the other side, they found themselves facing two colossal metal doors that seemed to ascend endlessly into the inky void above.
The doors were a canvas of intricate patterns, forming a colossal tree that bore otherworldly fruits, casting a low ethereal glow against the oppressive darkness.
Standing before these titanic gates were two imposing figures clad in silver armor of a reflective sheen, polished to mirror-like perfection without a trace of dust or imperfection.
The giants were so immense that even the pinky toe of their colossal sandals was equivalent in size to a towering bus. It was understandable that their legs were bigger than any monument made by man.
Massive swords, as wide and thick as skyscrapers, were held in their equally colossal hands.
In the absence of substantial light, Lenny strained to discern the features of these celestial guardians. The tip of their silver wings, folded regally behind them, hinted at the majestic scale of their divine presence. The faces of the guardians remained veiled in shadow, obscured by the heights to which they towered in the profound darkness.
As Lenny gazed upward, a dawning realization unfurled within him. This was the Legendary Gate, a formidable barrier designed to thwart the incursion of the Nether into the realm of reality. The towering figures before him were none other than the legendary Angels, steadfast sentinels who stood as the vanguard against the encroaching forces of the Nether.
The scene was both awe-inspiring and foreboding, the ethereal glow from the gates contrasting with the darkness that enveloped the celestial guardians. The air hung heavy with an otherworldly tension, and Lenny could feel the weight of the sacred duty these guardians bore.
The scale of the gates and the colossal figures before him was beyond anything he had imagined, a testament to the monumental nature of their charge. The ambiance was surreal, as though the very fabric of reality wove itself into an epic tapestry at this momentous threshold between worlds.
A low, resonant hum emanated from the colossal doors, its vibrations echoing through the vast expanse that separated Lenny and Ella from this monumental gateway.
Standing hundreds of kilometers away was the only way to take in the entirety of these towering figures that reached seemingly into the heavens. Even at this immense distance, Lenny could discern the low hum, an auditory testament to the living, breathing essence of the doors themselves.
The awe-inspiring grandeur of the scene unfolded before them. From afar, the celestial guardians loomed like titans, their colossal figures casting invisible shadows that stretched impossibly far. The hum seemed to resonate not just from the angels but from the very core of the immense doors, pulsating with an otherworldly rhythm that resonated with the heartbeat of existence.
As Lenny's gaze traversed the vast stretch leading to the gates, he couldn't help but marvel at the surreal landscape beneath them. For several kilometers, the ground transformed from the characteristic dark, black sand of the Nether into a sea of deep red. It was a hue so vivid that it seemed to transcend the normal spectrum of color, resembling a vast expanse of blood-soaked earth.
On this crimson canvas, frozen in time, were people in various poses, their bodies transformed into solid red statues. Their collective posture seemed to convey a shared yearning or reverence toward the gates, their arms reaching out or bodies stretched in apparent awe. It was a silent congregation, a testament to the magnitude of the power emanating from the celestial gateway.
The absence of Nether creatures in this space was palpable. It was as if even the denizens of the Nether recognized the sanctity of this place, instinctively keeping a respectful distance from the monumental gateway. The silence that enveloped the scene, broken only by the rhythmic hum and the distant whispers of the red ground beneath, created an atmosphere of sacred reverence.
Lenny, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the spectacle, stood in silent contemplation. The hum resonated in his bones, a visceral acknowledgment of the cosmic forces at play.
The very air seemed charged with a profound energy, leaving an indelible mark on Lenny's psyche as he grappled with the sublime majesty of the Legendary Gate and its silent congregation frozen in time.
"What are we doing here?" Lenny questioned, his confusion evident.
"We!?" Ella echoed in laughter. "Not we, boy! Just you!" Without warning, she seized him by the shirt and flung him into the distance, casting him onto the unforgiving red earth below. The impact was rough, but Lenny swiftly regained his footing, only to find himself alone in this strange and haunting place.
"I'll come back for you in a couple of hundred years. By then, you must have changed your mind," Ella declared with an air of nonchalance as she disappeared through the portal.
As Lenny attempted to comprehend his surroundings, he noticed something unsettling. The red sands beneath him seemed to come alive, tiny particles crawling up his body like industrious ants. Panic set in as he struggled against the insidious force, but his efforts proved futile.
Amidst the sea of red, Lenny's attention was drawn to a figure frozen in the sands – Minnie. The shock of seeing her caught in this surreal tableau intensified his sense of helplessness. "Shit!" he cursed under his breath, a futile attempt to confront the gravity of the situation. Bound by the mysterious forces of the red sands, Lenny found himself frozen alongside Minnie, "I'll come back for you, Ella." he muttered trapped in the haunting stillness.
Ella's echoing laughter lingered in the air as she vanished through the portal, leaving Lenny and Minnie ensnared in the enigmatic embrace of the Legendary Gate.
