Mystical Journey

The white stairs, the tall and sharp cathedral exuded a soft, gentle white light. From far away, it looked just like an ordinary cathedral. Apart from being slightly more magnificent, there was nothing peculiar about it. But if compared to the surrounding objects, then only was the horror of the cathedral revealed.

Nearby, a huge white airship that was carrying at least a few hundred people was slowly flying towards the cathedral. This airship that was almost a thousand meters big was just like a small fish, slowly coming in through a small hole above the cathedral and soon disappeared.

From far, small spots that resembled specks of dust under the sun could still be vaguely seen walking out of the cathedral door. They were actually Divine Officers dressed in white robes!

Small gray dots were densely packed on the stairs and they squirmed like water tides as they moved upwards.

Dressed in gray robes, these people took one step and one bow as part of their prayers. Slowly but surely, they gradually made their way toward the cathedral on the mountain peak that was shimmering in prayer light.

Blood splatters were scattered all over the stairs, but it all slowly absorbed into the white-jade material and disappeared, restoring the stairs to its original white innocent texture.

From time to time, two bright angels with long swords appeared by the sides of the stairs. On the left were angels with white wings, while on the right were angels with black wings. Together, they maintained the order of the crowd.

“This is the Main Plane’s center empire. This is Fehra’s Cathedral, which is also known as the Temple of Light and Fire. It is ten thousand meters tall, standing like a huge mountain right in the middle of the entire empire.”

Far away in midair, a large white airship was slowly flying towards Fehra’s Cathedral.

Visitors that seemed to be there for the first time gathered together in the airship as they listened to the tour guide introducing the place.

“Fehra’s Cathedral is surrounded by dozens of urban villages of different sizes and they all form the safety region sheltered by the Light and Fire Church. It is said that Fehra’s Cathedral was once built on a gigantic crater, and that is why this place is also known as Meteor City.” The tour guide had five, white tentacle-like limbs that were dangling about like soft noodles. The other features were no different from a human other than its arm.

“Praise Gloria, this is really a cathedral?!” A mermaid exclaimed, her hand covering her small mouth as her lower body was soaked in water-like mist.

“It’s even bigger than the average mountain… really, it’s so straight and tall!!”

“The power of Fehra’s Light and Fire is infinite, and this is only one of such miracles,” a traveler exclaimed. “I’m been here once thirty years ago, also for a trip. At that time, there were still many Sky Temple Knights patrolling around the sky. But now, even the Sky Knights are no longer wanted anymore.”

“Nobody dares to challenge Fehra’s authority, even light and fire burns and ignites in the endless abyss,” a devoted traveler said softly.

“Even the most powerful army formed by the entire Holy Spirit group, Sky Knights, who are stronger than the group known as the strongest, Golden Knights, are only just a little something compared to Fehra’s authority,” the tour guide praised.

“Praise Fehra,” all of them suddenly bent their heads and pressed their right palm on their heart. Calling the name of the Gods would actually attract the Gods so nobody dared to be disrespectful.

“Such a magnificent cathedral… really amazing…” Suddenly, a woman’s voice rose lightly from the back of the crowd. “Unfortunately…today, such a great miracle will be completely destroyed…”

“You…!” The tour guide and the group of tourists, as well as the passengers around, were stunned as they stared open-mouthed at the lady who just spoke. At a place where Fehra’s Holy Aura was shrouded, someone actually dared to say this!! Did she want to die!?? No, this was already not a question of life. Committing blasphemy at such a sacred place, that would cause one’s soul to burn for a thousand years by the Holy Fire!!

“Catch this psychopath!” A priest on the airship shouted.

“Up! Left, right, together!” The Church Soldiers stationed around quickly reacted and rushed toward the woman as they pulled out their swords.

The one who spoke was a lady dressed in a black shirt and skirt. Her face was beautiful and she had delicate skin. From the looks of it, she resembled more of a rich lady.

But what was most eye-catching was the little boy who was holding on to her left hand. The boy had one finger in his mouth, and he was sucking on the finger hard. Both of them looked like an ordinary lady and child, traveling and dressed wealthily.

The lady smiled gently and suddenly, a black mist started spreading everywhere and instantly covered the soldiers.

“A blasphemer!!” The surrounding Church Soldiers immediately pounced on both of them. As they shouted the Holy name of Fehra, white flames ignited on their bodies and all of them attacked the two from all directions.

The woman’s bright blond hair floated in the wind and she suddenly smiled.

“Agale, go… go destroy everything that you see…”

She let go of the little boy gently and pushed him forward.

“Can I eat everything, mommy?” The little boy took two steps forward and turned around with a vile smile.

“Of course…” the woman grinned. Her small cherry-like mouth seemed to be torn apart all of a sudden, both corners of her lips reached her ears. A scarlet red tongue popped out between her blood-red lips.

Suddenly, the little boy rushed forward.

Oh…!!!

His body expanded in an instant and his clothes were ripped apart exposing the black skin underneath. His whole body expanded as if it was a balloon being blown as it grew bigger and wider!!

In a blink of an eye, the body had already flown out into the air and transformed into a terrifying giant with had over thousands of arms.

Roar!!

He growled. The size of this giant was almost several times bigger than the whole Fehra’s Cathedral. His skin was a dark shade of black and the most conspicuous part was his abdomen where there was a gigantic black door engraved with many symbols and patterns.

If someone could identify the meaning of those words, they would know the creature’s true identity and origin.

On the airship, all the creatures exploded from the roar. Mists of blood slowly dissipated in the air. Traces of translucent thread-like objects flew out from where the creatures died and entered the mouth of the lady who was the only one left standing.

She once again showed a faint smile.

“Thousand-Armed Giant Agale, unleash all your powers completely…”

Roar!!!

Agale waved his thousand arms and grabbed the top of Fehra’s Cathedral.

Immediately, the entire cathedral reacted.

White light glinted and flames rose as the cathedral began to shake violently. Sings and praises of countless people rang at the same time, buzzing like the bees as they shook heavens and earth.

“Eternal Fehra! You are the judge of life and death, you are the one who shines light and warmth, you are the master of justice and ignition!!…”

Chants sounded and endless praises transformed into more white flower petals that descended from the sky, slowly falling onto Thousand-Armed Giant.

What was even more bizarre was that the worshippers on the stairs seemed to be completely unaffected. They were protected by the white light. Although they were frantic, they gave their all and sang, more devout than ever. There was no sign of them escaping in fright.

Roar!!

Agale screamed and flung out his thousand arms, both his feet trampled on thousands of worshippers.

But more white flower petals fluttered down. Suddenly, black-winged angels and white-winged angels flashed beside him and started attacking him with all their might.

But it was useless. Whether it was the petals or their attacks, nothing harmed the Thousand-Armed Giant. Even the angels were polluted by the dark splotches on the giant’s body and fell like dumplings.

“Combustion is eternal.” Suddenly, a man in a white robe with three eyes rose up from the cathedral. He only said one sentence.

Boom.

The multiple layers of clouds instantly spread out in the sky. The golden sun brightened countless times, and an immense golden light descended from the sky instantly weaving into a golden figure which darted in the direction of the man’s body.

He was suddenly lit up and his entire body was ignited with golden flames.

“It’s you again, you petty Alien Soul!!” Though there was no sight of him opening his mouth, a mighty voice sounded which rumbled the surroundings.

“Eat! Eat it all!” Agale did not understand what he meant. It was one of the strongest soul of Mother Stream, with a bottomless stomach and was the guardian of the Door of Dimensions. There was nothing it could not eat in the world!

At the sight of the golden flames, his face revealed an even more greedy expression. Both his arms grabbed the black doors on his abdomen at the same time and pulled it open.

Bang!

The doors opened roughly.

Whoosh!

Black magma-like substance spurted out from the doors and surged towards the cathedral and the figure burning in golden flames.

The black magma actually suppressed the projection of Fehra’s transformation that was arriving and wrapped the golden flames tightly.

In the midst of the buzzing sound, a large number of different creatures swarmed out of the doors like flood waters. Some were face-less black monsters, some had figures like squids, some were deformed grotesque creatures that were like demons. Pure elements that formed flames of life, water flow of life, and elements of the earth. Gigantic monsters like headless bodies swarmed out, almost a hundred thousands of them. They exploded in the air and scattered all over Fehra’s Cathedral like raindrops, dropping all over the ground.

The massacre had begun.

A mass number of angels also swarmed out of the cathedral, but their speed was far comparable to the speed of those swarming out of the black gates.

The monsters and angels fought against each other. These angels were the most loyal and powerful heroes turned from mortal elite warriors. Under the attack of these monsters, their supposedly undefeatable bodies actually showed symptoms of pain, weakness, and powerlessness. Their vitality no longer maintained at an eternal state but was rapidly consumed by those monsters.

A large number of worshippers were also slaughtered by the monsters. Some were able to resist but their number was too small, it did nothing to help.

“Heavenly Fire.”

All of a sudden, a troop of golden knights arrived from a distant in the air. They rode on white Unicorn Creatures and every member had a burning phantom floating behind them. That was a virtual silhouette that burnt in white flames.

All the knights yelled at the same time and golden flames suddenly flared up from their backs. All the virtual silhouettes suddenly boiled and formed an enormous golden figure in the air. The figure had no face, only a white whirlpool that constantly moved on its face. It had a pair of wings, one was black and the other white. It was only slightly smaller than the Thousand-Armed Giant. It then leaped forward and slammed a punch right into Thousand-Armed Giant.

Bang!!

The fist was blocked by one of Thousand-Armed Giant’s arm. Both behemoths shook at the same time.

Right then, Agale made a jaw-dropping move.

In the midst of everyone’s angry roars, he bowed his head and bit the peak of Fehra’s Cathedral — the statue of Fehra!
