Chapter 707: Turmoil in the Fifth Dimension, Drawing out the Origins
Zheng Shan also flew over and tried to comfort Lord Angel. "Tianhua, don't be sad. You look good with your bald wings."
Lord Angel looked at them quietly. It took him all his effort to not laugh. 'I'm not sad! I don't need you all to comfort me. I had some sweet rice wine which was so delicious that you won't even be able to imagine the taste. And what did you guys have? Even thinking about it makes me want to puke. Looking at your happy faces, I can't even bear to tell you the truth. Ignorance truly is bliss.'
"Stay where you are! Don't come any closer!" Lord Angel smelled a stinking odor and he quickly covered his nose and mouth as he stepped back. The odor coming from them made him dizzy.
"Huh! You ignorant fool! How can you be disgusted with the smell of Origins?" Yun Qianshan shook his head and said with pity, "No pain, no gain! You're destined to be inferior to us."
"Tianhua, are you sure you don't want to join us?" asked Zheng Shan.
"No, thank you. I don't want the Origins you're taking." Lord Angel and Alina immediately flew away without once looking back.
Zheng Shan shook his head. "His loss."
"Everybody, get ready for the sixth wave! The Origins are calling for us!"
"Quick! I can't wait!"
"Let's cut short our break time! Time waits for no one!"
After a while, Lord Angel and Alina arrived at their palace. Many angels saluted them at the same time and said respectfully, "Welcome back, Lord Angel!" Their eyes were filled with enthusiasm and expectation. After all, they all knew that Lord Angel and Alina had visited the mysterious expert. They were all anxiously waiting to hear what the expert thought of their angel feathers. The 10 angels who had given up their feathers were especially excited.
Lord Angel flapped his bald wings and flew high up in the sky. "As you can see, I've stripped the feathers on my wings, too! This is nothing to be ashamed of. It's our deepest honor that the expert has taken a liking to our feathers," he said majestically.
The angels were in an uproar and they all wore excited smiles.
"I'm so glad to know that our feathers are useful!"
"We must take good care of our feathers so that we won't let the expert down!"
"Our Angel Clan will surely rise to the peak now that we've gained the expert's recognition! Did the expert give us any divine items this time?"
"Does the expert still need more feathers? He can have mine!"
"Mine, too!"
Lord Angel raised his hand to silence them. "The expert did request for more but he also said our feathers aren't perfect enough. Therefore, you'll all need to work harder in growing more beautiful feathers. Now then, the ten angels who had given up their feathers, come up to me!"
The 10 angels trembled and their faces became flushed. They could vaguely guess what they had been summoned for and quickly flew up to where Lord Angel was.
"Here are your rewards!" Lord Angel smiled approvingly at them, and with a wave of his hand, 10 head wreaths appeared. "Wearing this shows that you're the proud sons and daughters of our Angel Clan."
He placed the head wreaths on them one by one. Looking at them filled the other angels with envy but it also motivated them. They made up their minds to one day be rewarded with a head wreath, too!
At the end of the award ceremony, Lord Angel's face suddenly became serious. "The head wreaths bestowed upon us by the expert are naturally very powerful and come with great responsibility. He's ordered us to get more black feathers. What do you all have to say about that?"
"Get more black feathers! Get more black feathers! Get more black feathers!" roared the angels.
"That's the spirit! With the head wreath's protection, we'll surely come back safely!" Lord Angel looked at the 10 angels and asked, "Would you all like to go with me?"
"We're willing!" said the 10 angels in unison.
"Good!" Immediately, under the command of Lord Angel, they made some preparations and headed toward the seal.
A total of 12 angels—Lord Angel, Alina, plus the 10 angels—flapped their bald wings and slowly flew toward the abyss where they had sealed up Mosha. Even though endless years had passed, they still could not obliterate him and had to be on guard every time he tried to break out from the seal.
No one knew what was hidden in this seal. However, as they approached it, Lord Angel's brows started to lock together and there was a suspicious look in his eyes. 'There's something weird about this seal. Where's Mosha? When did this place get so big? It was so small before. Not only that, it has become even more unpredictable!'
"I have to admit that Mosha's indeed very powerful, being able to develop the seal to this extent," said Lord Angel grudgingly.
However, as they continued to move forward, the frowns on their faces became even deeper. 'How much further does this go?' Suddenly, a strange aura circulated them and a deep black hole opened up in front of them. The Wisdom aura was very chaotic and the power of laws receded.
"Is…is…this a portal to another dimension?" Lord Angel and Alina were shocked at the same time.
Lord Angel's face sank. "So that's how Mosha suddenly became stronger. There's a portal to another dimension hidden here!"
"I wonder which dimension this portal leads to… One thing's for sure, Mosha must be plotting something," said Alina.
The eyes of Lord Angel suddenly flashed and he exclaimed, "I get it now! The expert must've known about this!" He took a deep breath and continued, "The expert used the excuse of wanting more black feathers to lead us to this portal!"
They never would have discovered this portal if it was not for their search for the black feathers. They shuddered to think what would happen if they discovered it too late.
"You're right! The expert's all-knowing! No wonder the people from the Heavenly Palace told us to read between the expert's lines. They must've known that what the expert said contained a deeper meaning," said Alina with pure admiration. At that moment, they had to update their understanding of just how powerful the expert was.
"Everybody, buckle up and follow me to another dimension!" said Lord Angel solemnly. Then, they entered the portal and arrived at the fifth dimension.
"The aura here…is so weak." As soon as he entered the fifth dimension, Lord Angel frowned before shock colored his face. Compared to the fourth and seventh dimensions, the fifth dimension was like an old man who had one foot in death's door.
"The Wisdom aura here's languid and full of impurities. The laws are erratic and fragmented. It seems like this dimension's at the end of its lifespan," said Alina.
"Lord Angel, the Eldritchs had pillaged all seven dimensions. It's not surprising this dimension became like this," said one of the angels.
Lord Angel nodded and said, "You're right. Our fourth dimension would've ended up the same way if it wasn't for the Heaven Mystery Pavilion."
Speaking of the Heaven Mystery Pavilion, his heart moved slightly thinking of the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared. He did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse that the Heaven Mystery Pavilion was hiding a huge secret within.
He tossed the thought to the back of his mind and hurriedly said, "Behind every catastrophe's a huge opportunity. Mosha's on the move so we should be, too!"
Alina pointed in a particular direction and said, "Father, the energy fluctuation over there seems to be the strongest."
Immediately, everyone set off together in that direction. Soon, a broken planet appeared in front of them. Most of the beings on that planet had been annihilated and had been replaced by blood-red creatures. These creatures seemed to be completely made up of congealed blood and they sported a pair of bat wings on their backs.
The blood creatures were cruel and powerful and their speed was extremely fast. They jumped on other beings as soon as they saw them and proceeded to suck their blood dry. The blood that was drawn out would then come back to life and condense into a new blood creature.
"What horrifying, cruel, and violent bloody creatures. They're spreading like a plague. They're every beings' worst nightmare," said Alina with a frown.
"It's a shame they don't have feathers on their wings. If not, the expert could've added some blood-red feathers to his collection," said Lord Angel.
Suddenly, the group of blood creatures sensed their presence and charged toward them with a roar.
"Angel's Light! Away with you all!" An angel stepped out and raised his hand casually. In an instant, a dazzling white light appeared, shining down on them like the sun. The blood creatures evaporated into thin air. The light did not only eliminate the ones that were charging at them but the others that were on the planet as well.
The angel was taken aback for a moment. Then, in a shocked tone, he said, "I sense Mosha's aura on them."
"You're right. There's no doubt that Mosha's behind all of this!" Lord Angel's expression was cold and there was a chill in his voice. "It's without a doubt that they're trying to slaughter all the beings in this dimension!"
"Father, we have to find Mosha quickly. We must stop them!" said Alina with a darkened face.
The fifth dimension's God's Domain was the largest place in the entire dimension and also the place with the most living beings. However, at this moment, the entire God's Domain was shrouded in a layer of bloody aura.
The clouds in the sky were stained with blood, the earth was red, and even the rivers were gradually reddening. It was as if the entire God's Domain was enveloped in a strange blood-red formation with the entire fifth dimension's living beings trapped inside.
These living beings were not only the beings who were originally from God's Domain but also the many other beings who had escaped from their own planets. Now, the entire fifth dimension was shrouded in a blood-red nightmare, and their only hope was that the strongest fighter in God's Domain would rescue them. However, there was no response from anyone no matter how much they shouted for help.
Up in the clouds, Mosha and the master of the Blood Clan were staring at the scene below them with cold eyes.
"What do you think of my work?" asked the master of the Blood Clan with a proud smile on his face.
"It's certainly amazing how you can turn the entire fifth dimension into a playground for your Blood Clan," Mosha responded. Then, he asked, "Are you sure this will draw out the Origins of the fifth dimension?"
"Positive! I know two ways of drawing out the Origins of a dimension." The master of the Blood Clan paused before saying, "The first way is to destroy the balance of power with great means, like the Eldritchs who dominated and suppressed the first dimension's Origins. However, this method requires a lot of luck and coincidence which makes it very difficult to achieve.
"The second way is to put pressure on this dimension with the power of another dimension! Once this dimension encounters a fatal threat from another dimension's power, the source will reveal itself, and at that time, I'll pull the Origins out!"
Mosha showed a trace of suspicion on his face and asked, "So you'll need my power to complete the mission?"
The master of the Blood Clan nodded. "Yes! The countless blood creatures that are currently wreaking havoc have our devil aura inside them. This will make the Origins of the fifth dimension think that it's the power of another dimension. Thus, it'll reveal itself."
"The Wisdom Elites of this dimension won't take any action against us?" asked Mosha.
The master of the Blood Clan laughed and said, "Hahaha, they're constantly monitoring the situation but I'm sure they won't take any action. Don't you get it? They must've guessed that I'm trying to draw out the Origins of the Dimension. Which one of them wouldn't want to get their hands on it?
"So no matter how crazy I am, they won't do anything to me. On the contrary, they're hoping I can draw out the Origins faster so that they can plunder it the moment it appears. It's every man for himself right now. Do you really think they'd do something as pathetic as saving the world?"
"So, when do we make a move?" said Mosha with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
The master of the Blood Clan smiled and said calmly, "Patience. We should wait until the blood aura's more intense."
In a glacier in the God's Domain, the area was shrouded in ice that would never melt. Even the laws were frozen there. In the deepest layer of ice was an old man with a withered face. He was frozen in the center of the ice, but at that moment, he slowly opened his eyes. They were filled with deep sadness and helplessness.
"I should've known this day would come the moment the balance of the seven dimensions was broken. It's human nature to be greedy. The group of warriors who saved the dimension previously have now taken up arms against their own dimension.
"It was different when they had the Eldritchs as a common enemy, but now…it seems like every dimension's plundering every other dimension. Everything has fallen into chaos.
"Frozen for countless years, I kept my last breath to guard the dimension against the Eldritchs. I never thought I'd have to use it against the beings of my own dimension! Is there no one who would protect this dimension after I die?"
