Reign and the other patiently waited for the deer to finish his evolution before placing the portal inside the city and leaving the area. They had managed to find what they were looking for, and there was no need for them to continue exploring around as they needed to get stronger in order to find out just what was going on with the fog and why it was present in the depths of the mountain range.
Of course, their main goal, for now, was reaching New York, but that would have to wait until they were stronger since they were able to see powerful flying monsters present near the city, making it impossible for them to reach it with their current strength.
As Reign and the others were waiting in the city of Pripyat, Vajra arrived at the holy mountain of the Nephilims. He immediately made his way over to Raziel and the Nephilims that were on the mountain all bowed to the powerful god who was one of the oldest friends of their leader.
He entered the castle before making his way to Raziel's office and entered without knocking as he knew that Raziel was aware of his presence. Upon entering the office, he was able to see Raziel removing the chess table.
"Hmm, chess, you were playing against someone?" Vajra asked Raziel who nodded at him before placing the table inside a cabinet.
"My eldest disciple had decided to visit me, he seemed quite confident in being able to defeat me, so I played with him for a bit."
"Oh, Quin visited you, that bastard, he hasn't even said hello to me yet," Vajra said in an annoyed expression as he thought of the black-haired kid that used to call him big brother a long time ago.
"Tch, he even managed to reach the realm above Supreme, I guess that's one more reason why I need to do this," Vajra said in a low voice as Raziel glanced at him.
"So, did he win?"
"No, I won 32 games, he didn't manage to win once," Raziel said with a gleeful smile on his face as Vajra chuckled.
"How is that brat doing?"
"He's fine, he managed to gain a new perspective about some stuff, so he went to meditate."
"He's going to grow even more powerful, huh?" Vajra asked Raziel who smiled at him.
"So, you have finally decided to take the next step, haven't you, old friend?" Raziel asked Vajra who nodded at him.
"I am still not 100% confident, but it is time, I have waited long enough, many of my old friends have either died in battle or were able to reach higher than me, I can't be the only one that has stagnated for so long, it is time for me to do it, so I have come to say goodbye, in case I don't make it," Vajra said in a serious manner as Raziel chuckled.
"Left me for last, haven't you?"
"Well, I knew you were busy with whatever plan you are making, so I thought I should give you some time before coming here to cloud your mind with my decision."
Raziel suddenly stood up and smiled at Vajra before moving to him.
"Come with me, I want to show you something," Raziel said as he made his way up the stairs and toward the rooftop of the tower they were in. Vajra looked at him in confusion before following him and reaching the rooftop.
"Don't fight it, just go along with the flow, alright?" Raziel asked Vajra before placing his hand on the ogre's shoulder. They both suddenly disappeared from the spot as Raziel was bringing him to someplace.
'What the hell?!' Vajra suddenly thought as he looked around him.
They were traveling through the void of the universe, but the problem was the speed with which they were doing so. It was something that Vajra had never seen before, Raziel's top speed.
'This, this is faster than the speed of light, much faster than the speed of light.' Vajra thought as he glanced around them.
'How fast are we going, how many light years is he passing each second?' Vajra gulped as they passed next to celestial bodies with immense speed. In one moment, he was able to see a small red dot in the distance, and in the next moment, they were next to the giant red star that was the dot.
Before he could even take a good look at it, they moved away and Vajra could see for an instant that they were next to a black hole, but before the pull of the black hole could even be felt, they had already moved far away from it.
'Old friend, just what realm have you reached?' Vajra thought as he did his best to calm himself. The speed they were traveling with was actually making it hard for Vajra's body and he needed to use his strength in order to combat the incredible stress it was putting on him.
For a Supreme to actually be pressured because the speed he was traveling at was simply far too great was something unheard of, at least Vajra had never heard about something like this in the past.
Suddenly, they stopped.
Vajra stared at Raziel who pointed ahead of them, prompting Vajra to follow the finger and gaze ahead, only for his eyes to open wide in shock. Right in front of them, Vajra could see a black hole, but this one was different, its size, was simply too large, larger than any he had seen before.
The largest black hole that scientists from Earth had discovered was called an ultramassive black hole and it had the mass of 30 billion suns, but compared to this one, it was like a child compared to an adult.
One couldn't even comprehend just how large the black hole in front of them was at first glance. The pull of the black hole was something that even Vajra wouldn't be able to escape from, and it was only thanks to Raziel that he was able to stand still in the void and stare at it.
"What, what is this, how could something like this be possible?" Vajra asked as he had never before heard of something like this existing.
"Welcome to the center of our universe Vajra, this is the spot where our universe emerged from, the result of the big bang that had torn the very fabric of time and spice, creating this monster in front of us, and the rest of the universe," Raziel said with a smile on his face before looking at Vajra.
"If you are wondering why nobody has found it yet, it's because this place is isolated, hidden between multiple layers of the universe, existing in its own pocket of space between all the layers, never to be found by anyone, the system included."
"This place is one that rarely has any guests, you are the fifth person I have ever brought over here, I had planned on doing it much sooner, but I wanted to see if you would be able to go over the mental block you have placed on yourself, whether or not you would be able to gather your thoughts and finally decide to take the next step, I am happy that I have done that as you didn't disappoint me, old friend."
ραпdα n?νa| сom "Raziel, just what, how, I …" Vajra was still stunned, stunned to find out what this place was and how nonchalantly Raziel was talking about it.
"The only people I had ever brought over here were those I deemed trustworthy enough, and talented enough, Quin was one of them."
"Now, I know you have many questions, but trust me, most will be answered soon, right after we go in," Raziel said as he took a step forward, only for Vajra to grab his arm.
"Go in, are you insane Reign, even you will be killed by something like this, so stop joking around!" Vajra said in an angry tone as Raziel smiled at him.
"Well, I never said we are simply going to walk in, I first need to open up a path, only then can we enter without worry." As Raziel said so, a white and black sword suddenly appeared in his hand.
'Silence of the Gods.'
That was the name of the sword Raziel had taken out, it was his personal weapon, and the one that had gained the title of the most powerful weapon in the universe. One slash of the sword and a god will fall, his body cut in half and his soul destroyed, never to be seen ever again.
Raziel brought the sword above his head before slashing down with one hand.
'Not even you can do anything to this thing, why are you ev-' Vajra's thoughts were interrupted as his body shook heavily from the sight in front of him. The impossibly large black hole that could easily kill a Supreme God was cut in half without any difficulty.
"Let's go, Vajra, let me show you the truth."
"The … truth?"
"Yes, the truth."
"What truth, about what, Reign?"
"Everything."
