"It exploded," said the man with a pleased smile in his place.
"Are our people at their places?" asked the man to the projection of women in front of him. "Yes, they are," he replied.
"What about Alkaz?" he asked, and the women smiled. "They are being led into the different place, by the time, they realize what is happening, we have started the ritual already," she replied.
She didn't say, what will happen after? She didn't need. Once the ritual started, it won't be stopped, even if Alkaz's people attacked with all their strength.
Once the ritual finished; they will easily be able to deal with people from Alkaz.
"Don't be complacent. We have prepared too long for it to fail," warned the man. "We will not fail," replied the woman, and her projection disappeared.
The man kept looking at the spot, before turning toward the crates; over thousands of them with each holding a person, with many struggling.
"Don't worry, all of you would be free very soon," he said gently, before getting from his chair.
…
BOOOOOM!
I heard the loud boom, breaking me away from my thoughts. It was so loud, that, it strained the defenses of my armor.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, it was nothing to the shockwave; I sensed it coming toward me.
"Fuck!"
I said, and a defensive triangle materialized in front of me, before the massive shockwave, tall as a mountain, hit the defensive method.
BAMMM!
The wave crashed against it, and immediately, I felt the cracks appearing on it and spreading fast across it. It is not just the wave, that is making the cracks, but also the trees and stone that came with it.
I poured more power into the defensive triangle. Which only seemed to stabilize it, a little.
The cracks are still spreading but at a slower speed.
Thankfully, it was enough, as the wave went past me, and I removed the protection which was at the near-breaking range.
"What the hell was that?" I asked myself as I looked at the destruction in front of me. It was powerful enough that it had destroyed half of the trees in front of me, along with the rocks and some hills.
This is after, the wave had travelled so far. I can't imagine the power of it near its origin.
My clone had already calculated it, and the power was so huge, that it had scared me. The fact also scared me, that the explosion was out of the range of my soul waves; it was much further according to my clone.
Hun!
I didn't waste any time and started moving and in just a couple of seconds, I had sensed several Sky Sovereigns. They are moving in the direction of the explosion.
'It seemed like, they are curious as well,' I thought and felt jealous of their speed. At my speed, it would take me hours, but to them, it would take much less than that.
A few minutes passed, and I saw over twenty Sky Sovereigns moving in the same direction.
I am also moving fast, much faster than I usually move at this time. The power of the explosion seemed to scare the monsters a lot, and most of them had hidden back into their holes.
I may be moving fast, but I am careful, with all my waves moving in different directions.
Like before, I would hide from any monster, I came across. Though, I am doing that much less, than usual.
An hour passed and then another and then another, I continued toward the center of the explosion.
Hun!
It took me five and a half hours before finally my soul waves had reached the center of the explosion and what I saw was shocked. I was not shocked by the place; I had already guessed it; I was shocked by the sheer destruction it had caused.
Aside from the shock, there was also sadness.
The place had exploded as Temple Brasat. The place of enhancement; it had exploded and exploded with such an intensity, that the miles from its center.
Even the place, I was standing had faint signs of the glassification. It will become more pronounced, as I get close to it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI didn't need to go there, since the place I had come for had disappeared. The route I am taking goes through it. Even if there is nothing; I would have to go there.
I don't like it. If I had known, it would explode the day before I reached it. I would have chosen a different route toward my destination. It wasn't the only place for the enhancement, but it was the one, that gave the biggest enhancements.
I had already asked my clone to find other places on the way to the destination and it had already presented me with several options.
They are all good, but not as great as this one, which was on the level above the other two.
'Well, it is disappointed, but there is nothing I could do,' I said and pushed all the sad thoughts away.
Hun!
Twenty more minutes passed when I noticed something else. Something that all the people had been going toward; it is in the place, the temple had been, but really deep.
I couldn't see what it was; my soul waves would go blurry as they touched it. I wanted to increase their power, but I didn't. The sheer number of Sky Sovereigns, makes it extremely dangerous.
It is already a huge risk, to even use it.
Whatever it was; it had revealed itself after the temple exploded and seeing everyone thronging toward it; I couldn't help, but feel curious.
It took me another forty-five minutes to reach the center and when I saw it, I couldn't help, but be shocked by the sheer power of the explosion. Which had glassed the ground to tens of meters deep.
The energies are still dense enough that Earth Sovereigns wouldn't be able to survive, without protection methods.
I also summoned one for the appearance's sake, while wondering what had happened to lead to this and whether any Earth Sovereign had died.
The obvious answer would be yes, without a doubt; it was powerful enough to vaporize them, but the answer wasn't simple when I sensed thousands of them alive.
They have not died; at least not all of them.
