. And in a strange place where a huge black palace stands at a tremendous height, Sho himself and Letha see a corridor linking one part of the palace to another, an empty corridor above the ground hanging in the air. Sho looks toward the ground and sees lands that exceed infinity, lands made of strange black stones and some brown ones. Sho smiles then says in a low voice:
"That sun is extremely beautiful, it is like a new beginning, it looks like mist gathered into one extremely bright mass"
. Letha agrees with Sho's words then points with her finger toward one of the places below and says:
"There is the beginning of the illusory city, we will pass over it and from it to the library that exceeds infinity"
. Then Letha puts her hand on Sho's shoulder and looks down and says:
"Okay, and now let us go"
. Suddenly Letha jumps and screams with excitement and then wings made of her chaos energy appear to her, huge black wings, then she looks toward Sho and says:
"Jump now, come on, I will wait for you below"
. Sho's feelings are mixed with sadness and joy, pain and regret, love and fear and the desire for revenge and at the same time to distance himself, mixed and contradictory feelings with which he tries to forget or move away and not remember what happened previously in the lower worlds, remembering the mysterious dream where everything perishes in the world of demigods while he alone remains to remember all the friends who died, then he sighs and says:
"It was only an illusion, only a dream, this is the new truth"
. Then Sho closes his eye and throws himself from above while Letha looks at him from below and whispers saying:
"At this rate he will fall to the ground without flying"
. Then Letha screams and says:
"Just imagine wings and they will appear, that is what I was doing"
. Sho tries to activate the wings through imagination, only to be shocked by his complete inability to do so! Then suddenly.
"Boom"
. Sho falls heavily to the ground, and Letha runs toward him while the dust spread as if a meteor had landed here, then Letha says:
"Are you okay?"
. The dust almost disappears and Letha sees that her husband landed standing up without the slightest harm! She lets out a light laugh and says:
"Cats also land on their feet haha"
. Sho smiles slightly, and Letha notices that he maintains his dignity and does not laugh much with her, so she gently takes hold of his cheek and pulls it while saying:
"Do not try to keep your calm and dignity with me, I am your wife, do not try for example to look majestic in front of me, okay, my cat?"
. Sho gives a slight laugh, and once again hears two voices, one from above in his mouth and one from below the demonic face, then Sho speaks and says:
"Okay, my rabbit"
. Letha objects to the nickname rabbit while the two walk toward the illusory city in the distant lands.
. Letha hums in a soft and beautiful voice while Sho tries to clear his mind a little, and Letha continues humming, which annoys him a little, so he sighs and says:
"Can you stop humming, Mr. Rabbit?"
. Suddenly the ground trembles violently for moments, then calms down, and Sho is surprised by this while Letha looks at him and says:
"That is strange, that entity is not supposed to awaken at this time of the illusory year"
. Sho asks Letha what she means by this entity, so Letha speaks and says:
"It is a Gorgon called Lord of Destruction, one of the strongest ancients in the world of waste, this third layer of the world of gods where discarded ideas exist"
. Sho looks with his completely white eye, while a completely black small dot, the absolute opposite of white, is in the middle of his eye. He looks far away and sees something coming. He sees a flying gazelle while strange accumulative energy is beneath its feet, and he feels a terrifying aura coming from it, so he speaks saying:
"We must move now, something with tremendous power is coming"
. Letha hits Sho on the shoulder and says:
"Look there, those are Gorgon's followers. I do not know what Gorgon wants from us"
. At that moment Gorgon's followers stand in front of Sho and Letha while their master descends atop the flying gazelle, and while this master is about to speak Sho suddenly speaks and says in a very strange voice, a demonic voice, where he does not use his mouth to speak, he speaks through the demonic face beneath the clothes.!
"What do you want from us?"
. Gorgon's followers are surprised because his mouth does not move and yet he speaks at the same time, while Letha stands beside him watching silently without intervening. Then the master descends from the gazelle holding a paper, opens it, and speaks while looking at Letha, saying:
"Lord Gorgon invites all the women of the kingdom so that the young lord may choose his future wife and she becomes Lady of Gorgon's fortresses"
. Sho becomes angry and stands in front of Letha looking at the servant who descended from the gazelle, then says calmly:
"What is your name, you there?"
. Then the master replies and says:
"My name is Noll and this is an official news that must not be rejected"
. Then Sho smiles an angry smile and says:
"Go now and I will consider that this thing did not happen"
. Suddenly one of the followers speaks and says:
"Who do you think you are, you there? He rejects Gorgon's words!"
. Suddenly Letha speaks and says:
"He is the dark god, devourer of worlds. I advise you to leave now"
. Sho takes the message from Noll's hand and tears it apart, which makes Noll and the followers behind him extremely angry, and he strikes at Sho with his fist, from which a powerful aura emerges, and suddenly Sho disappears completely and turns into a mirage and a shadow, then appears behind all the followers and looks toward Letha with his eye so she understands that he is asking her to step back.
. Sho feels curious to know the level of his heartbeat, so he increases it greatly to a terrifying degree, where tremendous pressure occurs and the heartbeat is heard by everyone, even Letha is affected by it a little despite standing far away. Then the followers use the authority of the higher concepts that surpass the traditional type of their powers, some using the transcendent concept of lightning, another of light, and another of death, and they send those energies toward Sho.
. And suddenly, with every heartbeat, a strange black energy spreads, coming out of Sho's body, destroying and swallowing the bodies of the followers completely and burning them as if it were black fire that swallowed their conceptual authority, while Noll ascends the gazelle and orders it to fly away quickly and looks down toward Sho and says:
"You will not escape because of that action, Gorgon will know and you will be killed soon"
. Sho does not care, then Letha approaches Sho and asks him if he is okay, and Sho replies to her and says:
"I am completely fine, do not worry"
. Letha tries to assess Sho's power and sees that he is a high ruler of the seventh layer, and then says:
"You must be careful, there is a fixed system of energy in this world, those followers are at the level of an ordinary ruler of the first layer, while you are a high ruler surpassing them by one sequence and your layer is the seventh layer, while that Noll was a high ruler of the fourth layer, the more the layer increases, the more your power increases"
Sho is surprised and says:
"Huh? How is that? You told me that power is constant and cannot increase, and that there are three categories of power in Primal Chaos."
Letha smiles and says, "That's true, but that's qualitative power, which never changes, never increases, and never decreases. Chains and layers are all quantitative power, which everyone can increase. Qualitative power is a power that differs from one entity to another; there is absolutely no similarity between them. Every person and every entity is completely different."
. Sho thinks for a moment, then says:
"Explain more to me, what are those power classifications?"
. Letha raises her hand and releases chaotic energy with which she explains to Sho and says:
"There are 6 layers that I know of so far, ordinary ruler, high ruler, supreme ruler, saint, lord, and demigod, those are the power sequences in the world of gods. Each sequence has 9 layers, the more the layers increase up to nine, the more the power increases, and after nine you reach a new sequence in what is known as breakthrough that challenges the will of the world"
. Then Letha smiles and says:
"As for me, and with great pride, I am a supreme ruler of the sixth layer"
. Sho smiles slightly and says:
"So you are stronger than me, how strange haha"
. Letha smiles while they continue walking, as the followers have completely disappeared, erased by the power of their own concepts completely, only by Sho's metaspiritual heartbeats! Then Letha speaks and says:
"Although you are a high ruler of the seventh layer, your powers are in fact much higher than this, you may be as strong as a second or third layer supreme ruler, and the difference between the layer and the second is huge by the way, so I am actually stronger than you"
. Sho smiles and says:
"Well then, you should have defended me that time since you are stronger, my rabbit lady"
. Letha becomes a little angry and tells Sho not to say this to her again, then Sho laughs, Letha smiles, and they continue the journey toward the illusory city.
. On the other side, in the impregnable fortress of Gorgon located in the earthly city, the servant Noll arrives while the gazelle's foot is injured from the effects of the heartbeat and Noll's hand is destroyed. He arrives and enters the palace, causing Noll and the gazelle with him to fall, while Gorgon sits on his throne as one of the servants pours red wine for him into a golden cup decorated with diamonds. Noll advances quickly while Gorgon looks at him with complete calm, and then Noll speaks and says:
"My lord, my lord, I was attacked and the followers died, and only I and the flying gazelle survived, as luck was on my side"
. Gorgon becomes extremely angry, and a terrifying red aura comes out of his body, and he says:
"Who dared to harm one of Gorgon's clan? Tell me who?"
. Noll becomes extremely nervous and says:
"I do not know, my lord, it is a strange person with terrifying black energy. When I tried to strike him, he disappeared as if he were a shadow, and after that I and the followers heard a sound like heartbeats, then a strange black energy emerged everywhere and swallowed the soldiers. He was accompanied by a girl with long white hair and a black cloak with white lines, I was only delivering the message"
Then Gorgon speaks and says:
"Where is that entity heading, Noll?"
. Noll replies while speaking with difficulty and says:
"It was heading toward the illusory city, my lord"
. Gorgon thinks for moments then says:
"Take this servant, guards, and send for Karner to heal him, and also that gazelle"
. Then he speaks to himself and says:
"[Well then, that entity headed toward the illusory city, that must be his last destination]"
. Lord Gorgon orders Asteria and Hansen to be brought.
. After several moments, a woman with black hair wearing blue clothes arrives, while a strange rope is tied to a weapon resembling a sword hanging at her waist, and beside her stands a person wearing white clothes with golden eyes and relatively long yellow hair wearing strange gloves.
. Gorgon smiles and says:
"Asteria and Hansen, you have a mission. There is an entity with a long white-haired lady wearing black clothes with white lines. I want you to take proper care of this entity"
. Hansen and Asteria look toward each other with great malice, then head toward the illusory city.
