Everything turned dark for Lucifer as he was dragged inside the Portal. It was as if the forces of space were dragging him against his wishes.

This was the longest he had been inside a spatial tunnel, as well as the most painful journey. He felt as if he was breaking apart, his body distorted by spatial laws.

"Don't use any protective barrier, or it'll get even worse."

As Lucifer was thinking about using the Spatial Element to protect himself, he heard Talia's voice. She was the one who dragged him in this spatial tunnel after all.

Lucifer stopped himself from using any Barrier. He had better healing than the Queen of Star Alliance Talia. So if she wasn't worried, then he also thought that he was going to be fine.

After traveling through the spatial tunnel for half an hour, Lucifer was abruptly expelled out of the space, tumbling down to the ground. His complexion turned slightly pale, and he experienced a wave of nausea.

Talia also came out of the space, falling on the ground. She was in a much better condition than Lucifer as if she had already taken precautions.

"You're doing much better than I thought you would do."

Talia extended her hand, offering assistance to Lucifer, helping him to his feet. Lucifer pushed her hand aside, standing up on his own.

"You said it was also your first time. How are you doing better than me?" Lucifer asked, wondering if the girl was trolling him.

Talia smirked at Lucifer's question, her eyes gleaming mischievously.

"Well, let's just say I did my fair share of research and preparation before stepping into this," she replied, her tone laced with a hint of amusement.

Lucifer couldn't help but feel a sense of annoyance. He noticed another thing.

When Talia was in the Star Alliance, she was the Queen. She was always serious and busy at work. But this time, she felt free. She looked full of life, as if a child had entered her dream destination.

Lucifer hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming here. She was here to get her family's inheritance so she could become stronger and kill the only remaining member of the Ancestral Bloodline! n(/1n

The woman didn't know that Lucifer was the last remaining member of the Ancestral Bloodline, the one she was looking for. She had brought the one she wanted to kill with him.

Lucifer wasn't sure what the inheritance was, but he knew he couldn't let the woman get it. If he had refused to marry her and accompany her here, she would've brought someone else. It was much better for him to be here.

Although he didn't know the specifics, he wanted to take the inheritance for himself so he could protect everything he held dear. Talia was already strong enough, any stronger and it was going to be a disaster for him.

"Where are we?" Lucifer asked, looking around.

Talia replied in only a single word. "Zephiria."

As Lucifer looked around, he could feel that something was extremely wrong in this place.

The place was nothing like earth or any other world he has been to. There was no sun in the sky. There was no source of light, yet it was bright.

The surroundings appeared even more strange. There was no ground under him. Instead, he could only see a white mist under him, on which he was standing.

He took a step forward cautiously, his foot barely touching the mist-like substance. To his surprise, it didn't give way or dissipate, but instead felt solid beneath his weight.

There was a profound silence, disturbed only by the faintest echoes of distant melodies, as if the very air was alive with music.

He asked, "So, where is the inheritance you seek?"

Talia's eyes locked onto his, a hint of seriousness returning to her expression.

She extended her finger towards the distant horizon. There, as far as the eye could perceive, lay an expanse of emptiness, devoid of any discernible feature or form.

"How far do we have to walk?" Lucifer asked. Since he couldn't see anything in that direction, there was only one possibility. What she wanted was so far that he couldn't even see it.

"Six months," Talia replied, as she started walking in that direction. "We are on the outskirts of Zephiria. And it'll take at least six months to get to our destination."

Lucifer walked behind her, frowning. "Why didn't we go straight for the source then?"

"Because we couldn't," Talia replied, sighing. "This is as far as we could get through the spatial tunnel. The space behind this point is more complex."

"Let alone using space to get there, you can't even fly in this place, unless you want to be tossed in an unknown Spatial Realm from where, there might be no return."

She further clarified, "This place is more dangerous than you think. So just walk with me."

Lucifer shook his head as he caught up with Talia. Six months of walking just to get to his destination, although frustrating, there was nothing that could be done about this.

....

Lucifer and Talia continued their journey without veering off course, only resting occasionally.

Both of them displayed remarkable endurance and did not require much rest. However, their physical strength did not significantly expedite their journey, as the initial estimation of six months already factored this in.

Along the journey, Lucifer tried to get as much information as she could.

He tried to ask her more about the inheritance that she was after, and how she was going to get this. He also asked her about the specialties of this inheritance and how it was going to help her.

Unfortunately for him, Talia didn't answer anything related to this.

All she said was, "You'll see when I get it."

Although disappointed, Lucifer could only shift his question to something else. Instead of asking about this inheritance, he asked

about this Realm, which was quite strange.

He doesn't know why, but he didn't feel like it was a natural realm. It felt like it was created by someone powerful.

"It was created by my Family. You might not know anything about them since they aren't in this Universe," Talia replied, confirming Lucifer's suspicions.
